Rapid Ramp Condrix DPS

-> Quick Notes

For those who want to slot it in and go:

  • For a stripped down 0-Forma version of this build: https://overframe.gg/build/34631/
  • You will need Arcane Fury or another source of damage boosting.
  • You will need Arcane Strike or another source of attack speed.
  • Bring Zenurik for Inner Might, build to 12x Combo in under 3secs and fire off several heavy attacks.
  • (Recommended) Bring Swift Momentum for the combo duration.

-> Rapid Ramp Condrix DPS

This build is fully capable of deleting Condrix health bars in under 2 seconds when minmaxed with an appropriate warframe, or 5 seconds if you bring a literal 0-rank non-DPS warframe with no outside support. It may not be the one-hit wonder that you've seen, but it works, and it's more than fast enough for people who aren't speedrunners.

Unlike most Condrix [Redeemer] setups, this build is a low maintenance setup. Most heavy attack setups require the player to slowly build up the combo meter, and then maintain it with proper attention, or to bring Naramon. This build uses [True Punishment] to allow players to build up combo on the spot; this has its advantages when the player is forced to revive.

This build assumes you also have
-- Arcane Fury or a Warframe (you or a teammate) that can buff damage
-- Arcane Strike or another way to increase attack speed by 60% or more
-- Zenurik focus tree with at least +50% melee combo efficiency upgraded.

-> Which Warframe?

It is important to note that there is a hidden mechanic that soft-caps DPS against the Condrix, which means that past a certain point you need exponentially more DPS to get an actual increase in DPS. This means that the entry-point to play a DPS role is very low. You do not need [Volt] or [Rhino] to play DPS. This opens up many warframes to playing a DPS role, while bringing additional utility against Sentients and Grineer. If your target is 22-25min, literally any warframe is viable for the DPS role, provided you have the assumed equipment.

Most players will be using a [Volt] for optimal DPS. If you are one of those players, aim for 120+ strength, 160 efficiency, 150+ duration. Use the [Shock Trooper] augment, and bring Arcane [Fury]. Stack all six [Volt] shields together and fire through them. You should be able to build to 12x combo in under two seconds.

If you are using [Rhino], aim for 200+ strength, 50+ duration, and bring Arcane Strike.

Generally speaking, you will want a source of damage increase and an attack speed boost from somewhere in your team. If you lack either, bring Arcane Fury and/or Arcane Strike as appropriate.

-> [High Noon]

Where a lot of players will recommend [Bullet Dance] for the gunblades, this build specifically demands [High Noon] for its stationary regular attacks. In contrast to most [Redeemer] Condrix builds, this setup chains the regular attack. Specifically, two different chains are used: the neutral attack and the forward attack, and these attacks move aroudn too much with [Bullet Dance].

Only the first attack in each chain is used, and they are alternated. Thus, the following inputs will enable a rapid buildup of combo:
-- E -> W+E -> E -> W+E -> E -> W+E ... ... ...

The neutral attack (lone E) can also be substituted with any non-forward movement. This substitution can be used to maintain your positioning and aim, which is especially useful if you are using a controller instead of keyboard/mouse. (Shoutout to my fellow controller users.)
-- E -> W+E -> S+E -> W+E -> S+E -> W+E ... ... ...

-> Mod Swaps

Sacrificial mods are mandatory for the Sentient damage bonus. Do not swap them out.

[True Punishment] and [Focus Energy] should be swapped for [Shattering Impact] and [Voltaic Strike] if nobody else is [Shattering Impact]. See the next section for more information. If you do this, avoid using your Heavy Attack until you are ready for the kill.

Swift Momentum on the warframe is useful if you want to maintain the 12x combo between Condrix stages.

-> Teamwork and [Shattering Impact]

As it stands, this full version of the build does not require any help from [Shattering Impact].

If you are using the 0 Forma version of this build, check the notes in that build's description.
