Best used with the [Amalgam Argonak Metal Auger] mod which allows electric procs to strip armor at an insanely quick rate in combination with a grouping ability e.g. ensnare (ideal due to more frequent headshots), larva, airburst, vortex, magnetize, magus anomaly, void [Singularity]
UPDATE DEC 2023
Melee Influence arcane now allows you to apply electric procs in a 20m radius AND allows Amalgam Argonak Metal Auger to apply armor strip to all enemies affected.
Best stances - either stinging thorn or pointed wind neutral stance
Mod Breakdown
- Condition Overload - mandatory for base damage giving +80% per status. [Pointed Wind] stance forces slash procs. Three statuses (impact, slash and electric) give a minmum of +240% base damage. With a primer (e.g. [Epitaph] or [Kuva Nukor]), you can hit up to 8 statuses giving +640% base damage! You should NOT stack addition damage mods like pressure point or sacrificial pressure as this will just be additive to the large damage boost from condition overload.
- Organ Shatter - mandatory for crit damage
- Weeping Wounds - mandatory for status chance, boosting this to 216% at max combo, increasing the chance of multiple electric procs per hit
- Blood rush - mandatory of crit chance, boosting to 76% at max combo
- Primed Reach - important to increase the number of enemies hit per swing, which increases total electric procs. Spring loaded blade is an alternative if you don't own primed reach.
- Berserker fury - important to increase the abysmal base attack speed. Can use [Primed Fury] as alternative, but may stlil need additional attack speed boosts from arcane strike or warframe abilities to make this feel sufficiently fast
- Primed Smite grineer- Multiplicative +55% to condition overload +dmg and double dips (+140%) on electric DoTs and slash DoTs
- Shocking Touch - flexible slot - boosts the electric DoTs. can put [Gladiator Might] for more crit chance and crit damage or quickening for more attack speed instead
Gas is a viable alternative (replace shocking touch and primed reach with 60/60 toxin/heat mods) to create lingering clouds that armor strip.
