Low level build version: Beginner Koumei
None Mecha build: General Koumei
Negative Duration: Gate with Pulse Koumei
Notes on Build
Archon mods are major boost to Koumei power because of their status focused effects
- Archon Stretch always up from abilities and/or companion
- Archon Vitality doubles heat procs, r0 for reg use, max for health tank
- Archon Intensify heal from 3 isn't consistent nor does Koumei need strength
- Archon Continuity replaces Primed Continuity free corro from toxin = free armor shred
- Archon Flow replaces Primed Flow, free energy orbs, not needed if running:
- high eff wit Equilibrium or Arcane Battery with Mecha Pulse
Exilus should be used to help challenges or overall uses
General "good" options: PSF or [Coaction Drift]
Companion Choice
Running Mecha Set REQUIRES the use of a Kubrow, each one has their own abilities and specialties but my top recommendations are:
- Pharoah Predasite
- Mass Viral tagging from Endoparasitic Vector & Free Toxin buff on weapons from Anabolic Pollination (affects status weight!!)
- Huras Kubrow
- Unbreaking stealth unless weapons used, best on pure casting build
- Raksa Kubrow
- Shield battery for easier gating
Subsumes
- Sickening Pulse - Easy nuke with Mecha Set and Contagion Bond (kills not counted from ability and instead from dog)
- Xata's Whisper - Weapon Damage buff for Cascade
- Breach Surge - good form of cc + gate ability , scales well high lvl
- Decoy - Needs Damage Decoy augment for build, takes aggro + stacks status, another method of room nuking
- Roar - Overall damage buff
- Airburst - Rag doll enemies into strings from 1 for multiple procs from same cast
- Nourish - Viral, damage buff, energy buff
TLDR, subsume over 1 or 4
Archon Shards
NEEDS casting speed so Tau Yellow
- Other 3 slots are flex for personal pref, my recommendations are:
- Greens for +corro stacks
- Yellow for parkour speed
Arcanes
Arcane Aegis is necessary to easy survive any lvl content
- Open slot for weapon platform arcanes:
- Arcane Strike
- Arcane Velocity
- Arcane Precision
- Arcane Acceleration
- Arcane Tempo
[Koumei] can very easily stack new Arcane Impetus, +str & eff better on dmg subsumes rather than base kit
Loadout Options
Primary
- Gotva Prime: Passive activated by [Koumei] passive and some decrees like Storm Caller also proc the passive
- Beam Weapons: Beams in general can spread statuses easily, especially with Koumei passive
- Shotgun Weapons: Usually have high multishot which allows more randoms status with Koumei passive
- Scourge Prime: Alt-fire gives bullet attractor to enemy heads, easier headshot challenge
- Cedo: Mainly from alt-fire statuses
Secondary
- Hystrix Prime: Trait to switch between base elements allow Koumei to very easily and quickly complete kill with element challenge
- Kuva Nukor: "microwave" status counts sas its own status so high value from galv shot
- Epitaph Prime: Forced cold procs ontop of high base sc, lets is cover lots of elemental challenges
- Bronco Prime Incarnon: Using with Dizzying Rounds allow Koumei to make more use of finisher decrees
Melee
- Amanata: Besides it being her signature melee, fast attack speed + high range, if another weapon shares these qualities changes are it'll work
- Okina Prime Incarnon: Fast attack speed and status damage boost from incarnon perks
- Ghost daggers do forced cold procs and cold dmg, helping with cold kill challenge
- Affected by modded elements, running influence makes daggers do magnetic + cold
TLDR, if it can use Condition Overload, Galvanized Shot, or Galvanized Apitutde it will be good
