Well of Death Nuke Ivara | Max Range Concentrated Arrow

INTRODUCTION

This is an endurance SP survival build focused around using the [Concentrated Arrow] augment to turn Artemis Bow into a scaling room nuke using the combination of Internal Bleeding to create slash procs and Primed Firestorm/Range mods.

Well of Life creates an invulerable floating target that you can spam headshots onto to trigger the explosion of [Concentrated Arrow], nuking a room repeatedly without having to find a new target to headshot. Once you release the target or the 12s duration is up, the target will die and create 4 health orbs due to the augment [Pool Of Life], which will be converted to 220 energy due to [Equilibrium]. If you need energy desparately, terminate well of life quickly after shooting the target to generate orbs. Well of Life also makes you immune to status effects and knockdown within range of the well of life target.

Why use [Concentrated Arrow] and not just a Bramma?
[Concentrated Arrow] produces explosions with the highest AOE radius in the game, of up to over 20m (compared to 13.8m from [Kuva Bramma] + [Primed Firestorm]). It also is the only weapon that produces forced impact procs in an AOE meaning [Internal Bleeding] allows you to create slash procs on all enemies in range at a rate of 70% (compared to 30% from [Hunter Munitions]). Furthermore, the explosion damage has NO drop off, is completely silent and does NOT stagger you. The main drawbacks are it unfortunately has half the base damage of Kuva Bramma, cannot run primary arcanes and cannot self-proc statuses like viral (due to 0% status).

PLAYSTYLE

OPTIONAL: Throw [Afentis] down and stand within bubble to get Ballistarii might buff (reload buffs greatly improves fire rate of bow).
Activate Prowl and Artemis Bow
OPTIONAL: Switch to sleep arrow (default is tap 1 to swap) and tap alt-fire while in [Artemis Bow] to shoot a sleep arrow to allow easy headshots or CC enemies, particularly if not using [Scourge] or Well of Life.
Cast Well of Life on an enemy.
Spam headshots onto well of life target with [Artemis Bow] primary fire to nuke the room (can just tap to fire, as charging the bow only increases flight speed with no effect on crits/damage or AOE)

BUILD SPECIFICS

Duration
Not specifically needed in the build.

Efficiency
We can dump efficiency and run [Blind Rage] since [Spectrosiphon] with [Primed Flow] and arcane energize will keep you near max energy consistently as long as you are getting kills, which is easy with [Artemis Bow].

Range
High range scales the explosion radius of [Concentrated Arrow] headshots (19.6m at max range, and 22.68m with [Primed Firestorm]) as well as the radius of sleep arrows, making this one of our most important stats.

Strength
High strength scales the headshot multiplier of prowl and the damage multiplier of [Artemis Bow].

Aura
[Growing Power] can be snapshot by prowl to gain additional headshot bonus, and also snapshot by artemis bow to get additional base damage multiplier.

Helminth Options

Spectrorage - Alternative for energy but need to use spectrosiphon augment over pool of life.
Eclipse - final multiplicative damage buff that can be snapshot by [Ivara]'s prowl, meaning if you cast eclipse while standing in light but invisible, you will keep the damage buff even if you then walk into shadow
Roar - double dips slash procs but additive to the bane mod on [Artemis Bow]
