Venari - The giant slayer - 1 Shots level 180 Heavy Gunner

Howdy folks!

If you ask me, Venari is the only companion who is worth building for damage so here is my build.

Final build stats:

  • 734 Armor | 2.426 HP
  • 86% Critical chance | 6.4x Critical Multiplier
  • 84% Status Chance (Viral, Slash and Heat procs)
    If the armor strip from [Sharpened Claws] procs, she can kill a Level 180 Heavy Gunner with 1 combo, otherwise it's still good enough. (Might upload a video in the future.)


Let's talk about the mods:

  • Link Health + Metal Fiber -> Base status for Venari. Khora doesn't have too much Armor so Metal Fiber provides more.

  • Primed Pack Leader -> Press E once or twice and your companion will be back to full hp.

  • Hunter Recovery -> [Venari] has good damage output so she can heal you even using the attacking stance. Also she deals Slash procs so she gets +25% damage on those enemies.

  • Maul + Bite -> Self explanatory. The build is made to deal damage so it benefits from Melee Damage (Venari only deals melee damage), Critical Chance and Critical Damage.

  • Sharpened Claws -> Extra damage and strips the armor of the enemy making it easy to kill.

  • Venom Teeth + Frost Jaw + Flame Gland -> Makes [Venari] apply viral and heat procs. Heat reduces the armor (it's used for the cases when [Sharpened Claws] doesn't do it's job) and Viral amplifies the damage on health. Just make sure you put them in the right order to have Viral + Heat. :D



Other viable mods choices:

  • Medi-Pet Kit - The heal is not significant since you have Pack Leader, and the Bleedout Reduction is useless.
  • Synth Fiber - Extra armor for your companion is always welcome.
  • Calculated Redirection (or Link Shields) + Hastened Deflection for shield gating effect
  • (Primed) Animal Instinct + Fetch if you want to take the looting route but I prefer to equip those on the 'standard' companion.
  • [Tek Assault] if you want 60% chances to cheat death. Not a big deal since you can revive [Venari] with some energy or you can wait for her to revive.

You don't need to worry too much about her survivability since she has self revive or you can use some energy to skip the cooldown. 3 defensive mods are enough.



*PROS and CONS*

  • Good damage output and armor strip
  • Self-revive / Press a button to revive
  • 6 formas might be too much for some players
  • Maul and Bite consume a lot of credits and endo and those are not too useful for other companions


Conclusion

[Venari] is arguably the only companion who can deal good damage. Also she is somewhat immortal having the ability to respawn herself. You can also take the looting/utility route using Animal instinct and Fetch but I prefer to leave that job for the 'standard' companion.
