remake to go with my hound remake since this had some accidental misinformation in it
the ONLY effect weapon mods have on [Manifold Bond] is what statuses it applies
damage, elemental damage, status chance, status duration, status damage, attack speed, etc. do nothing, and [Healing Return] doesn't proc
dot from [Manifold Bond] procs only deals 1 dmg; the main dmg is from [Synergized Prospectus] combined with viral procs from [Manifold Bond]

if u read all that u might be wondering why this build has [Condition Overload], [Melee Elementalist], and [Melee Prowess] on it if they don't do anything
while they don't work on manifold bond procs, they do work on the hound's normal melee swings
the hound can proc some extra elec/slash statuses while [Synergized Prospectus] is bouncing around, which will all get caught up by [Contagious Bond] when the enemy dies
it's not much, but in testing it seems to be enough to make it worth slotting
elementalist can be switched for a faction mod if not using roar
for a budget setup that doesn't utilize this (or if u don't use [Contagious Bond]): remove [Condition Overload], [Melee Elementalist], and [Melee Prowess], [Voltaic Strike] can be made unranked as well

electricity is used instead of heat since [Manifold Bond] doesn't use elemental mods, so it forces heat inherit to 0%
if u don't use any heat status weapon builds, then feel free to switch electricity to heat
