General use Stealth based [Ivara] build for staying invisible with Prowl, buffing damage with [Empowered Quiver], nourish for damage boost to weapons and [Artemis Bow] and for energy sustain.
PLAYSTYLE
- Stay invisible with prowl
- Cast Eclipse when standing in bright light to 'meshlock' light level with invisibility
- Shoot dashwire and stay on dashwire
- Wait for Mecha marking to appear and headshot that enemy to nuke. You will want to use a weapon that has status effects like slash (hunter munitions/internal bleeding) or electric/gas.
- Can use Artemis Bow if you prefer. Quickshots are vertical and charged shots have a horizontal spread.
HELMINTH
- Nourish - increases energy sustain and gives free viral to weapons including Artemis Bow
- Xata's Whisper- double dips melee stealth multiplier, double dips headshot multiplier, can redirect artemis bow arrows into bubble
- Roar - gives highest status effect damage boost and boost when using galvanized overload weapons
- Silence - add stretch over umbral intensify, prevents eximus and acolyte abilities
- Dispesnary replenishes your entire energy pool even while in Prowl mode, but needs [Equilibrium] over [Mecha Pulse] and requires your pet to run [Synth Fiber].
ARSENAL
If you want to run [Mecha Empowered] and use it to nuke, then you must run this with a kubrow or predasite. Also consider adding Mecha Pulse over transient fortitude:

Remember to silence all your weapons using the silencer exilus mods (e.g. [Silent Battery], hush) so you don't come out of invisibility when you shoot.
Certain strong weapons are innately silent e.g.
Daikyu: https://overframe.gg/build/265600/daikyu/daikyu-internal-bleeding-slash-headshots/
Fulmin: https://overframe.gg/build/280573/fulmin/fulmin-viral-slash-internal-bleeding/

Proboscis Cernos:
Artemis Bow uses these builds:
Viral Slash Grineer/Corrupted anti-armor: https://overframe.gg/build/374705/
Corpus Pure toxin: https://overframe.gg/build/374706/
You can also run a STAT STICK for artemis bow because it inherits Fire rate mods and Vigilante bonus as long as it is a NON-BOW primary weapon.
In particular, tenet ferrox primary fire counts as a light source for eclipse, giving maximum damage bonus.
