Why Use This Build?

• [Venari] can provide a lot of utility to [Khora] (Build) when built properly and can kill groups of pretty high level enemies because of Contagious Bond spreading stacks of heat.

Mods

• Primed Animal Instinct - This allows you to see enemies and loot on the minimap from farther away. This stacks with other companions.
• Primed Pack Leader - This allows you to heal Venari and provides an Overguard gate by using Whipclaw.
• Enhanced Vitality - Health
• Metal Fiber - Armor. This with Enhanced Vitality provide enough toughness to regularly survive attacks from level 300+ enemies.
• Contagious Bond - Allows Venari to kills large groups of enemies.
• Momentous Bond - Respawn faster with Eximus kills.
• Sharpened Claws - Can help Venari get kills to improve Contagious Bond's effectiveness.
• Tenacious Bond - Use with Bite on the claws to get increased Critical Damage Multiplier with Whipclaw.
• Link Redirection - Allows shield gating

Claws

• Assassin Posture - Prioritize Eximus enemies. Frenzied Posture is also good if you want to prioritize spreading status a little more.
• Bite - Makes Tenacious Bond work
• Swipe - Spreads Status better
• Any 2 of Shock Collar / Frost Jaw / Venom Teeth / Flame Gland - Status Chance and more damage
• Burning Claws, Precision Conditioning, and Maul - Damage
• Immunity Resistance - More status damage

Appendix

• When using this on [Khora] with a Vulpaphyla with [Martyr Symbiosis], [Martyr Symbiosis] and [Venari Bodyguard] can activate at the same time killing both. This is mostly inconsequential due to [Tek Assault] and [Panzer Devolution] on the Vulpaphyla.
