The Almighty Octopus Beam Thingy

Hello !
So, this is a very late game, high investment build for one of my favourite weapons : the almighty octopus beam thingy
I SPECIFY BUDGET OPTIONS AND RIVENLESS OPTIONS BELOW

Point of the build

Basically, you will try to kill your first enemy as fast as possible, then it's free fire for the rest of the mission. Very simple.

Mandatory mods

For this build to function like it's meant to, you have a few mods that you must have

  1. galvanized hell -- Simple really strong, scaling multishot, just really good overrall
  2. galvanized savvy -- the core usage of the build i think, as you get really high DPS quickly if you have lot of elemental procs, which is the case here
  3. critical deceleration and primed ravage -- Some increase in CC - CD is always nice to have
  4. one of the faction mods -- They have the biggest damage increase out of all the damage mods, conditional of course, but if you take the time, that's worth it

Possible changes if you wish

First, of course everyone might not have a riven, or not the same as mine -- what i would recommend is that, if you want to get a riven, try to get one with one or more status and some CC-CD if possible.
If you don't want a riven -- that's absolutely possible ! i would recommend simply going contagious spread as it will get you one more element for the element combo that i use, and that's the main part i think.

Second, primed charged shell and blaze are of course my prefered elements as i get some nice element combo with my toxin riven. But you can change them for whatever you like. I would suggest, if you want to get your own element combo, that you get 2 Full element damage mods ( one in the riven spot, one in place of charged shell ) and one status + status chance mod (or either chilling reload or blaze if you want) as you don't need much more status chance, and you'll have yur combo of choice.
I went for heat-viral-corrosive as it's strong against almost everyone and it can apply a lot of times, so galvanized savvy works nicely with them.

Finally, galvanized acceleration is a personal choice, as i have punch through on my riven so beam length is really nice, but if you want you can change it for whichever exilus you want (you may need to polarize the weapon once more, but oh well, up until that point 1 more forma is nothing)

Budget option

If you want to get the best out of the mod without spending as much time and plats into it, there are ways to do so !

First, of course every single Primed mod is interchangeable with the non-prime version
Second, an exilus is not mandatory, you can do fine without
Third, as much as arcanes are really nice, they are as well not mandatory, so more economy here
Fourth, as much as i would not recommend this, you are free to change the faction mods for a simple point blank --- it won't scale as well, but if you need an overrall build for every faction, with low investment you can go that route
Finally, as i said above, the riven is of course not mandatory, a simple contagious spread will work fine here !

Final notes

That build is my own build, if you want to modify it your way, go ahead ! and if you find another combo of elements/mods that works, feel free to tell me in the comments, i would love to try them !
If you have questions about rivens, you can ask them as well, i am NOT an expert in that domain but if you have a riven you would love to keep for that weapon, but don't know with which mods to put it, i can maybe help !

Anyway, thank you for reading all of that, have a lovely day / evening / night and hope you all have fun <3

Lyter.
