Atlas: Fire Blast/Shuriken/Pillage - General Use

Atlas Gameplay Guide

[Atlas] is a close range bruiser with a heavy focus on ability synergy. Landslide attempts to combine both damage and invincibility but requires a well made stat stick to scale to endgame content. His passive grants him decent survivability against mid level enemies and his other three abilities give a small amount of flexibility outside of the base star chart missions.

📝 Build Overview 📝

This build is a balanced introduction to a Landslide focused playstyle. [Rubble Heap] was one of the strongest tools given to Atlas and it allows us to spend more slots on damage and survivability across all content.

🔢 Helminth Options 🔢

Tectonics is arguably one of the worst abilities in the game. Standing behind it is more dangerous than spamming invincible Landslide punches and most enemies will either avoid or burst down the roadblock. It even needs an augment to [Protect] from multiple angles of attack. Replace it on every build.

Fire Blast and Shuriken give [Atlas] reliable armor stripping potential for reasonable stat investment. Landslide's primary weakness is heavily armored enemies which will neuter its scaling against endgame content. Fire Blast is the easier to use option but doesn't fully strip armor which can be a problem against high level enemies. Shuriken requires an augment and can only hit a few enemies at a time.

Pillage and Terrify are good options with external Strength bonuses which bring them high enough to fully strip armor. They can be inconsistent outside of that scenario.

Roar, Eclipse, and other offensive buffs provide a lot of damage but may still struggle against heavily armored enemies.

Elemental Ward, Defy, and other defensive buffs provide more survivability but this build already has multiple sources that scale to the level cap.

Quality of Life abilities can give [Atlas] more survivability but they're redundant due to [Rolling Guard], his passive, and Landslide's invincibility.

Other abilities are decent but provide a lot of redundancy due to the existence of operator mode and the previously mentioned abilities.

📊 Ability Stats 📊

Strength is the primary focus of this build with other slots rounding out his survivability and energy economy.

Helminth Invigorations, Arbitration Buffs, Ally Abilities, Arcanes, and other external stat boosts can save you multiple mod slots but may rely on specific team compositions, loadouts, or sheer luck. Plan around these situations and modify your loadout to hit desired ability stat breakpoints.

⏲️ Duration ⏲️

Duration is boosted a bit so that Landslide has a larger combo window. Primed Continuity can be cut for more Strength but dropping your Landslide combo makes that decision counterintuitive.

⛽ Efficiency ⛽

[Streamline] and [Primed Flow] give you a significant buffer to use your abilities. [Rubble Heap] may make Landslide free but your subsumed ability benefits from higher Efficiency. Fleeting Expertise probably isn't the call as it hurts your Duration and Landslide combo window.

📏 Range 📏

Range gives Landslide a slight area of effect and may benefit your subsumed ability. It isn't necessary so [Narrow Minded] is fine to run over your flex mod but abilities like Fire Blast become far less useful. Shuriken and other abilities that don't scale off of Range aren't affected.

💪 Strength 💪

Landslide does plenty of damage to enemies with low armor but extra Strength doesn't hurt the build. [Augur Secrets] can be run instead of a flex mod or [Transient Fortitude] to get a mild shield gate or a bit of Duration back. Blind Rage makes your subsumed ability too expensive. Energy Conversion stacks will only last for a single Landslide.

↔️ Alternate Playstyles ↔️

Most builds utilize tools that can be swapped out to serve the same purpose albeit in a different manner. The following suggestions are an outline and aren't exhaustive.

🔧 Mods 🔧

  • [Growing Power] isn't difficult to proc and gives a sizable chuck of damage to Landslide. Without Rolling Guard it may be too unsafe to use so replace it in those scenarios.
  • [Primed Sure Footed] is a powerful survival tool that completely negates many forms of hostile crowd control. It also allows weapons with a large area of effect to be fired with impunity. It's an expensive login reward so replace it if you have other forms of status effect immunity. Atlas's passive provides this benefit but only when you're on the ground.
  • [Vitality] is a flex mod as [Rolling Guard] and Landslide should provide the bulk of your survivability. Augur Set mods can also be added for additional invincibility but Rubble Heap makes the permanent shield gating strategy with Landslide unusable.
  • [Streamline] is a flex mod when not using a subsumed ability to counter armored enemies. This is usually done on certain Corpus missions or when another ally is removing armor. Rubble Heap makes Landslide free.
  • [Rubble Heap] is necessary for the build. Other augments are usually too weak or have weird bugs that make them inconsistent.

⚙️ Arcanes ⚙️

Arcane Energize pairs well with [Primed Flow] and allows you to be extremely greedy with your ability casts. It can be replaced if you're confident with your energy economy or you're playing with an ally Warframe that provides energy. Offensive arcanes like Arcane [Fury] or defensive arcanes like Arcane [Guardian] are usually the call on most content.

Arcane Avenger synergizes with the bruiser playstyle of most [Atlas] builds. It can be replaced if you're focusing on your abilities or guns. Tertiary defensive arcanes like Arcane Aegis or Arcane Resistance are usually the call on most content.

📋 Final Notes 📋

Rubble can be gained quickly in several different ways. Using Petrify on groups and spamming Rumblers between each fight should keep you topped off on stacks.

Petrify adds a 50% damage vulnerability to susceptible enemies. This intentionally doesn't work against armored health types because it would grant an exponential damage increase due to the way resistances interact with armor. Enemies can't be more than 100% weak or 100% resistant to a damage type. This means that the enemies most susceptible to Petrify are unarmored and have average resistances to your primary damage type.

[Rumbled] and [Titanic Rumbler] are both bugged and don't correctly work for various reasons. [Rumbled] still allows you to take damage through the armor and [Titanic Rumbler] doesn't increase the damage even though the mod card says that it does. Both augments shouldn't be run until these issues are addressed.
