Spam Smite, boost its %HP damage with sentient vulnerability + primer and with armor strip, allows you to infinitely scale. Perma CC enemies by spamming smite (stagger + rad procs) and with having 3 level 85 conculysts that have their own health gate plus [Adaptation] and your passive, you shouldn't be hit or else skill issue.

UPDATE: updated mods to make it share polarities with my weapon platform build here you can just slot [Rolling Guard] instead and switch [Augur Reach] for [Augur Message].

See it in action here:

ORB DAMAGE

35 is the %health to damage conversion (this is where infinite scaling is)
17 is the number of orbs spawned at 284% ability strength

ENERGY GENERATION AND CASTING SPEED

Caliban needs a bit of everything, so we're somewhat slot starved, we handle this by relying on our operator/archon shards to get the rest. Mix and match.

• Amber Archon Shards for casting speed (2 is enough for natural talent), and +% energy orb effectiveness
• Energy Generator Dethcube sentinel with Equilibrium
• Madurai Operator for +40% Ability Strength and +50% Casting speed
• Zenurik Operator for Wellspring (+20% AS, 5 energy/s) and +50% energy orb effectiveness
• Emergence Dissipate with the recent veilbreaker patch can carry your energy problems by itself.
• adding more duration thru archon shard is a nice QoL to require less cast of fusion strike.

Gameplay loop:

1. Wall latch to trigger Arcane Arachne. it is not refreshable, keep in mind. If Madurai Operator, void sling the ground twice then warframe for the casting speed and +%AS buff.
   (OPTIONAL) Group enemies with magus anomaly or Vaz ability
2. Sentient wrath
3. Fusion strike (stops them from flailing about)
4. Prime while spamming smite.
5. repeat step 2 and 4 for new clumps of enemies, recast fusion strike when fallout field disappears.

Ideal use: high density missions

About Smite

Smite can be used on frames with both Armor strip and have a damage buff(bigger damage per orb), [Caliban] just turned to be the most convenient out of these. [Xaku] could probably work with whisper. [Oberon] itself could also do this by subsuming a damage buff instead.
