Paci Fists

Hello there,

Updated! v3.11

Thanks to Reactive Storm augment, we can build those "fists" for full power, in this case I maximized total damage because it doesn't matter what damage type we got here, the augment will alter its damage type to match enemy weaknesses. However, starting with Viral is the best way to quickly increase damage.

[Reactive Storm] completely changed the way we look at those fists.

[Baruuk]'s [Desert Wind] are AoE waves. Attacks release waves that travel 20 meters with unlimited punch through. Wave damage dissipates with range. Waves can ragdoll enemies and reflect projectiles.

Going for:

  • Grineer/Universal? Use build above, or start with Corrosive.
  • Corpus? Change Smite, and start with pure Toxin.
  • Infested/Corrupted? Change Smite, and start with Corrosive/Corrosive-Heat.
  • Sentients? No Smite mod (yet), so start with Corrosive-Heat.

Make sure you have your StatStick for those Gladiator Mod Set. Three of them will give us +30% Critical Chance, stacks with Melee Combo Multiplier. This is the way to get something similar to [Blood Rush] mod.

The whole trick is... to get max Combo Counter on your StatStick and not on your [Desert Wind]... this is why we use [Melee Guidance] Aura on [Baruuk]. You want to prevent any Combo gain on [Desert Wind], and waves do not generate Combo Counter, only direct punch, on enemy. So if, by any chance, you hit an enemy with your bare hands, you want that Combo Gain to lose it as fast as possible. Without any combo mod on [Desert Wind], your Counter will last 1s, but be aware that Power Spike from Naramon Focus School will lengthen that.

Naramon Focus School is for its Power Spike. It's for your StatStick Combo Counter, to last as long as possible.
However, this is a Double-Edge Sword... it also affects Warframe Exalted Weapons, such as Desert Wind.
You might consider using other Focus School. But then you must remember to deactivate Desert Storm every 25-26 seconds and use your StatStick to refresh your Combo Counter.
