TRUE PRIME by Pamelz

1) Short description:
Tons of damage, shield gate, CC, universal.

2) Pros:
– High damage output
– Shield gating
– CC for enemies
– Pretty easy to build
– Helminth is not necessary
– Arcanes is no necessary
– Works well in any mission type

3) Cons:
– Requires High Skill
– High learning curve
– Needs supplements (Good Stat stick)
– Can easily die even in low lvl enemies
– Need 1 Umbra Forma and 1 Universal Aura Forma

4) How it works:
– Use 3 (Javelin) to buff your melee damage (when you see big chunks of meat... I mean group of enemies. 12 javelins with 33% damage buff each will result in almost 400% Melee DMG buff. Which is pretty huge.
– Use statstick to give as many statuses as you can. (I personally use [Epitaph] with Rad and Vir). You can use whatever you comfortable with.
– Use 2 to give Stealth Bonus Multiplier for melee damage. Sync with Furious Javelin and Stat stick to break the "Damage cap".
– If your shields are gone - use 3 or 2 to reset your shields.
– Roll if you have high damaging statuses (toxin or slash) to cleanse it and grab 3 sec of godhood.
– Use Decaying Dragon Key to ease up the Shield Gating

Some personal notes:
– You may use any arcanes you want. I like my two melee arcanes just to buff my damage even more.
– On your Operator use Emergence Dissipate to grab energy. You need some enemies thou. But in the end it can replenish twice as much energy as you have at max. So you can freely use both [Exalted Blade] and Gloom at the same time. No need to put Arcane Energize cause its now unnecessary.
– If you are worrying about cast speed - you can switch [Augur Reach] with [Natural Talent]. Or use Madurai focus school. Just jump out and jump back in and you will have 50% cast speed buff for free.
– After "Echoes of Zariman" update, you can switch one of the arcanes for bonus Ability Strength to increase 3 buff and your ult.
– When you go into endurance - start with Exalted Blade. After some time - switch you your basic melee, cause Exalted Blade still not so strong in the long run.
– If you want to use Chromatic Blade - just change the [Augur Reach] for augment and you are ready to go. Try to go for innate Fire status.
– For best utility I personally use Daikyi, [Epitaph] both with respective Amalgam Mods. [Nikana Prime] as Basic Melee. Use Steel Path Arcanes which gives combo duration and holster speed for even more utility.
– When building Stat Stick - put statuses which you dont have on your melee and your [Exalted Blade]. I use Fire with Corrosive + Slash if possible. [Epitaph] have Blast, Radiation and Viral.

5) Good Helminth Synergies:
Personal best ones are
1. Gloom ([Sevagoth])
2. Sentient Wraith (Caliban)
Some popular choices are
3. Roar (Rhino)
4. Larva (Nidus)
