Raven's Cannons for air/ground dominance

Built to work with the "Raven, air/ground dominance" warframe build for [Titania] and the [Diwata]. This build is meant to do fast, high damage amounts without the reliance on "[Razorwing Blitz]" since it isn't included in the build and due to the high upkeep energy lost and concentration on keeping it up.

The build emphasizes the use of built in speed mods in the weapon, Arcane Velocity on the warframe and high power strength on the warframe to accomplish high damage numbers. Arcane Velocity can be maintained on for the high rate of fire of beyond 14.58 rounds per second easily thanks to multi-shot and decent crit rate combined with the high fire rate triggering a crit every second or so.

In case, you don't have any of these prime mods, focus on [Gunslinger] replacing the crit chance mod, and focus on using [Magnum Force] instead of the crit damage mod. Your damage will go down, but it can help you do content until you get the prime mods.

Radiation has proven, through my own testing with various groups and solo runs of high end content, that it is as effective as using depleted uranium rounds to punch through almost anything. Pun intended. However, there is no actual punch through on this build. Although, even without it, it can still downed any down ship within seconds (avg 2 ~ 3 seconds) of attacking it. It can also easily farm "Tusk Thumper Doma" in Plains of Eidolon and deal with any Corpus, Infested, Grineer or Corrupted ground/air units.


NOTE on why not to use [Magnum Force] mod


[Dex Pixia] benefits from [Magnum Force] mod in close range situations, and it also helps to increase your dps 40k or so higher than this build is supposed to do based on numbers from burst damage at 249 power strength of the warframe. However, that isn't entirely true when done in open world areas of the Plains of Eidolon and Orb Vallis, or even when done down long straights in other missions, namely defense missions like Hydron. Too many rounds miss the target due to the negative accuracy, that you might as well consider the Dex Pixia then a shotgun pistol than a mini-gun or submachine pistol.

This issue is further seen when taking down drop ships from ranges beyond 50+ meters, it takes longer to take them down and you'll need to recharge the pistols in doing it. Without using the mod though, you can take them down in one magazine, or less depending on where you hit them at.


NOTE on [Seeker] mod


As for the [Seeker] mod, it is helpful too for when enemies are either lined up or in roughly the area you firing at. However, replacing [Anemic Agility] for this mod means even slower fire rate. Replacing [Primed Heated Charge] for it means a considerable DPS drop. Replacing [Convulsion] for it, means a DPS drop as well. Therefore, I left it out of this build because the drops in DPS were too substantial for my taste and the reduction in fire rate without using Razorwing Blitz mod was too impactful as well.

The whole point of the Raven air/ground dominance builds are to have a multi-role strike fighter jet that can survive high level content while keeping up moderate to high-end single target DPS the whole time without the use of situational or criteria driven mods, e.g. Growing Power, Energy Conversion, or Razorwing Blitz.
