This build is for [Grendel] mains looking to become nearly unstoppable. While it does require an Umbral Forma, the levels of tankiness that are achievable makes this build well worth it. I
Another major feature of the build is to combine Equilibrium with Dispensary. This will restore 135 energy after the 3 second delay or complemely fill the energy bar if 2-Nourish Energy is active. This lets you keep your energy high without much effort. In addition, a [Dethcube] with [Synth Fiber], [Synth Deconstruct] and [Energy Generator] should be run with [Equilibrium] as this will give you huge amounts of passive energy and health to make your smaller energy pool feel a lot larger passively.
Reccomended Loadout
Feature Analysis
- Umbral Mods - Grendel probably benefits from all three of these mods more than any other warframe in the game
- Adaptation - A nearly required tank mod that lets you survive anything thrown your way.
- Hearty Nourishment - Prevents statuses from reducing Grendel's armor, turning yout truely immortal at this point
- Gourmand - reduces energy demans and allows your armor stacking to reach pretty rediculous levels.
- Equilibrium - This combined with Nourish and a companion with Synth Deconstruct gives tons of consistent energy
- (Aura)Brief Respite - allows either Regurgitate or Nourish to fully refill your shields, allowing Shield Gating to reset.
- Augur Secrets - Lets Pulverise [Reach] 100% armor strip. If a Decaying Dragon Key is equipped, Brief Respite can be freely swapped for something else.
- Arcane Guardian - allows Grendel to achieve truely rediculous levels of tankiness passively.
- Arcane Grace - gives [Grendel] some consistent healing even in the midst of hectic combat
