Guide in making
Hello everyone,
My name is UltimoFive and today we are going over the Nataruk, The Hunter's Ace.
Weapon Information
The [Nataruk] is a New [War] Spoiler weapon, due to this being a weapon from the New War I won't be going into detail on how to obtain it. Other than just complete the New War Questline.
The Nataruk requires a mastery rank of 0.
The Nataruka comes with 4 "V" Polarity Slots, plus a "Dash" Exilus Slot. Because of this, the builds for this weapon require 0-2 forma.
The Nataruk excels in Close to Long Range Combat and deals with High Leveled Enemies in Small to Extremely Large Crowds.
The [Nataruk] has Alternative Damage Stats based on when the player releases the Shot. Quick Shot is without fully charging the weapon and has the least Stats in Damage, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and Status Chance. Charged Shot is when the Bow is Charged Fully before releasing and has average stats. Perfect Shot is when releasing the shot just before a full charge, making the Damage Stats insane for the weapon.

Extremely High Critical Chance at 50%
High Critical Multiplier at 2.2x
Extremely High Status Chance at 50%
Perfect Shot Advantages:

Synergy with Nataruk
There are several ways to enhance Critical Stats and Damage for this weapon:
Damage:
Rhino's Roar adds bonus damage.
[Nova]'s Molecular Prime makes all sources of damage increase by 100% against primed enemies, on top of that they will detonate upon death dealing blast damage.
Saryn's Toxic Lash mixed with her Spores abilities.
Mirage's Eclipse mixed with her Hall of Mirrors adds a massive damage bonus during the day or in light.
Equinox's Rest & Rage in Day Form makes targets more vulnerable to Damage.
Xata's Whisper grants Void Status and increases Weapon Damage.
[Wisp]'s Haste Reservoir Bolsters Fire Rate, in turn increasing DPS. However, it can make Perfect Shot Timing a bit harder.
Banshee's Sonar gives a Huge Damage Multiplier.
Chroma's Vex Armor when Health gets damaged increases Weapon Damage.
Critical Stats:
Harrow's Covenant can add up to 50% Critical Chance and 200% on headshots.
Volt's Electric Shield when shot through adds a 200% Critical Damage Multiplier.
[Nidus]' Virulence with his Teeming Virulence Augmentation grants a large increase to Critical Chance upon hitting 4 enemies.
[Frost]'s Passive with his Biting Frost Augmentation grants a 200% increase to Critical Chance and Critical Damage upon attacking Frozen Enemies.
Zephyr's Passive increases Critical Chance by 150% while airborne.
Adarza Kavat with Cat's Eye can give a 60% Critical Chance boost.
Smeeta Kavat with Charm can give 200% Crit Chance.
Arcane Synergy
Arcane Rage - Upon getting Headshot, 15% chance for 180% Damage to Primary Weapons for 24 seconds.
Arcane Avenger - Upon being damaged, 21% chance for 45% Critical Chance for 12 seconds.
Arcane Primary Charger - On Melee Kill, 30% chance for 300% damage to Primary Weapons for 12 seconds.
Arcane Arachne - On Wall Latch, 150% Damage for 30 seconds.
Primary Arcanes:
Primary Merciless - On Primary Kill 30% Primary Damage for 4 seconds, which stacks up to 12 times and includes a 30% Reload Speed Buff and 100% Additional Max Ammo.
Primary Deadhead - On Primary Headshot Kill 120% Damage for 24 seconds, which stacks up to 3 times and comes with 30% Headshot Multiplier and -50% Weapon Recoil.
Riven Synergy
When you get your hands on a Riven for this weapon the Flex Slot to replace will be what was previously discussed before. This may require 1 - 2 more Forma and in order to maximize Damage output with the Nataruk, one will need to get lucky and get some nice stats. My Ideal stats would be:
- Ideal Stats - The Ideal Stats would be; Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Multishot, and Weapon Recoil or Negative Zoom. However, I would say a Riven isn't really necessary for this weapon since it is so amazing and outputs damage like crazy.
