One important note, everyone goes on about the Shock motes on Defense, but in Spy missions, having a shock mote active will basically instantly alert any vaults with actual enemies in it by shocking them through the walls. (also careful with Will-o-wisping through lasers, since the clone will also alert things)

[@starry-vi2kv]

Correction: Any vault with REGULATOR DRONES, even then the damage seems to be so small that the trigger is quite inconsistent - sometimes eximus regulators will brush off the proc and continue on as normal. Otherwise just bunny hop and no enemy will run to the console as they haven't detected any Tenno yet.

[@RBRSC]

@@starry-vi2kv Seen it happen in Corprus too, so. The Regulators will always go off (they seem to even go off from one hit silent kills a lot of the time), but dudes if they get de-electriced will slam the alarm. Alongside the general thing, if you are the Wisp you probably wouoldn't bring the shock mote in and can generallly dispose of it. Its the friendly wisp who leaves the uni-mote in front of the door thats the problem

[@gustavosanches3454]

Another useful Aura is Combat Discipline so you essentially have permanent Viral AoE when Nourish is active. Wisp even has a huge health pool and healing to make the health drain essentially unnoticeable.

I've found that Pillage is a really solid option over her 4 as well- the extra layer of survivability is definitely nice, but stripping all of the armor and shields off of everything around you is amazing at amping up both your personal damage (Breach Surge loves squishy targets) and that of your squad.

I want to shout out my favorite helminth ability for Wisp: Dispensary 1. It gives energy and health orbs like the two abilities you mentioned there at the end 2. It scales off strength and duration like her other abilities 3. It gives *universal ammo* which works for heavy guns -> this plus the fire rate of the Haste mote makes heavy weapons actually feel like they're a reliable part of your kit TLDR -> it scales and feels like a 4th mote and reinforces her support role very well

Her passive is actually stupid good. Most OP passive in the game. Makes you really wish everyone else had a more engaging passive made, looking at you loki.

[@MajorMonorail]

Fun detail I found on the motes: most objectives that require defending can benefit from having the motes. I have seen shocks from shock motes occur to enemies that were trying to attack the defense objective, the vitality mote does gives objectives automatic healing, and haste helps the npcs in defection missions as well.

[@glowdonk]

Kengineer's a real one for keeping the Syandana on during the Wisp Guide He does things that Pupsker wouldn't even DREAM of

[@Goldy01]

I'd add some tidbits to her 1st ability: - do NOT place the flowers in doorways if your enemies have nullifying units, as those will destroy them. Put them in corners or high places where enemies probably don't go. - if you have a Wisp in your squad, keep an eye out for the 3 colored flower icons on the minimap, so you always know where she parked her flower garden! - things and npcs you gotta protect will get the buffs too, so use them on defense objectives, excavators, etc.

[@thefrenchbastard1646]

let me corect the second one "keep an eye where she parks her flower so you can avoid them and the speed buff doesn't screw up your build"

[@karzanah]

Let me correct you, frenchbastard: keep an eye out for the flowers so you pick them up and realize how shit your build is, if it can be screwed up by some healing, additional movement speed and some electric procs Like for real, if that's all it takes for your build to be absolutely devastated, you need to either change your build, or play solo

[@DavidUtau]

[@DarkShadowDragon48]

​@@DavidUtauI've kicked out some insane fire rate buffs with my "max strength" Wisp build that can make some weapons almost impossible to aim consistently due to recoil, but that seems like a small price to pay 😂

[@ultrakatiz]

My favourite defense on wisp is Aero Vantage + Aerodynamic + Boreal set. You can cast reservoirs mid-air, and teleporting to a reservoir resets your double jump and your glide duration, which is really useful for static missions. Put 3 reservoirs on the ground for your team, and 3 in the air for you to teleport to. You can use some arbitration mods for quality of life such as Sharpshooter, Aerial Ace (also resets your double jump / glide), or Energizing Shot. This setup works especially well with Snipers, as you have a good sight of the battlefield under you, and can fit Aero Periphery and Aero Agility on it. Plus, it makes you feel like a spooky flying ghost and gives you a nice view of Wisp's tactical butt, which is probably the reason why DE made her not go transparent while invisible.

[@apsuenbwyfer11]

My favourite wisp build is basically this but with the innodem (launches projectiles while aim gliding) its very silly but lots of fun

[@TiakOSRS]

Recently got back into the game, farmed up a Wisp and as soon as I tried her, I knew she was my new main. The motes are my favourite ability and I have so much fun trying to get the health boost as high as I can with my friend on Nidus when we do Arbitrations. Had no idea about the Nourish interaction though, so I guess I gotta go juice it up a bit more.

[@DarkShadowDragon48]

I've got a heavily invested Wisp build that pushes out absolutely ridiculous buffs if that's something you'd be interested in seeing sometime.

This is such a wonderful, informative, crystal clear and concise guide. Feel like slappin myself for not finding your channel earlier.

The way you presented the information so clearly grabbed my attention all the way through. Hats off to you mate. Subbed!

[@paladinsrage4646]

I use combat discipline on mine, since it triggers nourish viral at like 400% with breach surge. This also triggers arcane avenger consistently… often nourish + breach surge ALONE can kill in sorties without ever needing to shoot. Just hit something with a melee and nuke what’s around you.

[@paladinsrage4646]

Fused Reservoirs is not only a QoL augment, it's also a efficiency bonus. At max rank, the cost doubles, so you effectively place three reservoirs, for the price of two, in the same time as one. It's a base 25 energy ability, so it's not that impactful and there are situations where you might not want a mote type out, but it's certainly a nice Exilus mod

Or third option, if you're doing steel path taking Pillage as your subsume you're quickly able to hit the 400 power strength for full armor/shield strip while also replenishing your shields to max without breif respite, allowing you to run growing power or Combat discipline (which synergizes well with archon intensify and an aoe weapon like glaive prime) also running Arcane grace instead of avenger is great for tanking, as replenishing %max hp when you get hit lets you health tank better then nidus

[@Sonacnights]

I admittedly sacrificed range for a little more duration and maximized strength. Right now, with one less tauforged crimson than I'd like, I'm rocking 408% str out the gate. And since I adore Glaive Prime above all else, using Nurish and the Motes exclusively since Breach doesn't have enough range to be super useful, it works fine. Going survival relic runs and getting the 2x str buff after hitting max Molt means I either am almost at or slightly above 1000% str so the motes get absolutely hilariously fun for a full squad. No regrets.

I love how well-rounded she is when you go all in on strength! It's kind of poetic how a spike in strength leads to greater ability overall.

[@thaynedye1292]

Parasitic Armor is also a good option for improving durability. It's still health-tanking, but with even a small amount of shields the Ability Strength of the shield conversion gives A LOT of armor.

Wisp does not need to tank. Apart from the obvious "jump to not die" passive, her 2 gives full invis and 3s of full invulnerability on teleport, so with proper anti-knockdown measures she will stay alive in the most punishing situation. Well, if the situation called for her to tank, that is. She shouldn't tank in the first place.

[@MuTHa_BLeePuH]

i usually suggest avoiding that cause in specific set ups like camping SP survivals, disruption, and especially high end arbitration farms using all 3 umbral mods is pretty lack luster to do since most of the time she wont rely on armor for tanking in endurance content but then is already tanky enough from motes, and if you really want a substantial amount of armor without using a mod slot and having to use umbral forma then theres Arcane Guardian would is just overall way better than even umbral fiber with the other 2 umbral mods

Good coverage of the abilities Wisp is one of the few frames in the game that dont need shield gating even up to level cap, with 3 blue archon shards for armor and good utilization of your passive you can easily tank it. The thing I wanted to mention, that I think is important, is that wisp's first melee attack against an enemy that hasnt spotted her will grant an extra 700% dmg boost through the stealth multiplier, pair it with any thrown melee weapon like a glaive or a zaw with contagion and you have one of the hardest single hitting attacks in the entire game

@TheKengineer is it any worth to go for a umbra build? is it better or not even close that the build that you just mentioned?

[@TheKengineer]

Wisp has a low armor stat, so Umbral Fiber does very little for her. Vitality also isn't doing a whole lot given she gives herself increased max health already. That means either slotting one or two mods that don't do a lot just to buff up Umbral Intensify, or use a less effective mod than Archon Intensify. Not worth it in my opinion.

[@DarkShadowDragon48]

As someone who has a full Umbra Wisp build, I agree with TheKengineer that doing so probably isn't the most efficient build for Wisp. I've basically thrown out flexibility/adaptability for a slightly higher top end on my buffs (77% from Umbral Intensify vs. the 60% from Archon Intensify). I'm happy with my choice, and it fits my playstyle, but I certainly wouldn't fault anyone for taking an Archon build approach instead. Archon builds offer greater flexibility and utility based on what I've seen.

*THE SYANDANA STAYS ON*

[@Male_Parent]

I love the way my Wisp Prime looks with a Syandana. I use the Solstice Kuva Cloak. Also I think I prefer a build with 3 umbral forma. I had a good build with archon intensify, but I think I prefer my umbral build after trying both. Health tanking is just ease of use for normal Steel Path and below. Though the other build could scale higher as you have a few mod slots open for shield gating focused mods. Archon Stretch, fused reservoirs, primed continuity, blind rage, and transient fortitude are all "must haves" IMO. The rest is up to preference. Unless you're specializing into strength or duration range, those must haves synergize well with her entire kit.

Gonna have to change my builds up now lol edit: also you can cancel breach surge's cast time by popping Nourish directly after casting it. this will actually speed up the total cast time (nourish has a quick animation) and since you're double-casting you can use 2x Augur mods to full shield gate (77.5 energy x2 x.8 = 124 shield per double-cast). This will eat up half your energy but Nourish + Zenurik + Archon Stretch fixes that real quick. and uh...normal wisp only needs 1 cast for this to work, lol.

Is running nourish really more valuable compared to roar or eclipse tho?

[@dogma32]

Nourish has more going on than just a damage buff though. It has energy regen boost to synergize with Zenurik and Archon Stretch. It has outgoing viral procs when taking damage. Then of course, the damage boost being attributed as Viral makes it very desirable for alot of weapons. Meanwhile, Roar is faction damage, and a much smaller boost than Nourish, meaning you are losing DPS if you already use Faction damage on your weapons. And Eclipses light level BS is too much for some people. The symbol not telling you the actual buff you are receiving along with light being extremely finnicky. Nourish just synergizes with Wisp too well to take any other damage option.

[@Rev3rence]

@@dogma32 love the reply. I did make a build with nourish, with combat discipline aura and arcane avenger to maximize synergy. Running that, I'm using a corrosive wep too. However I almost never use faction mods because A. Im lazy and B. You dont always know whst you're going to fight anymore (circuit for example). Roar definitely gives me and my party more upfront damage. Also roar affects ability damage and not only weapon damage, so the argument with faction mods loses weight imo. Eclipse i totaly get behind what you're saying tho, haven't even bothered subsuming that. However, i do have a 3rd build with pillage as well. Either way I can't compare the builds properly and their efficiency because I am not running level cap and anythin I do run, all my setups are already obliterating.

As Kengineer said, the 4 is about effective at the same levels that MK1 Braton is. Its a helminth slot. Roar and Eclipse are both nice depending on if you are willing to put up with Eclipses light level shenanigans. Eclipse would double dip with BS the best, but Roar is more reliable.

[@DGhutros]

I think the subtitles may be just the slightlest out of sync Go to 0:00 and check it out

[@TheKengineer]

That is a KZbin bug. You have it set to auto-translate to English. Change your settings to use the actual video language rather than translated (yes, even though it's still English) and it works. I specifically used a timestamped .vtt file to try and avoid this bug to no avail.

[@DGhutros]

@@TheKengineer Oh, thank you for the info, very useful

[@Jack0York]

Is there a reason you didn't mention Pillage, Dispensary, or Roar? They all scale with the same stats she builds for and are all really great on her.

[@dontassociate]

Theres better abilities that make use of the whole ability and roar got nerfed into the dirt for helminth shes a built in hp tank no need for shields youre only getting energy and ammo from dispence its also super slow at generating hp orbs as well as being reliant on duration

[@Joe90h]

Roar is amazing on her, but I think Nourish is a better default ability for her. Obviously if somebody else is running Nourish you can swap to a build using Roar, and if somebody else is also using Roar... Well, Xata's Whisper is pretty strong too ;)

[@Joe90h]

As for armour stripping, I feel Terrify is better on her because it's an easy 100% strip.

[@TheKengineer]

This guide's already long enough and I decided not to overfocus on other subsumes if they brought no additional synergy to Wisp's kit. For the abilities in the video, Nourish has additional relevance to Wisp due to the interactions with Archon Stretch and Breach Surge, while Lycath's Hunt and Fractured Blast are both reliable and plentiful sources of health orbs for armor/energy to go with Reservoir's healing. Pillage, Dispensary, and Roar are all powerful but the benefits they provide would be nearly the same on any other Warframe with the same casting stats.

[@SpyroX.I]

It is even worth mentioning Infested Mobility which is one of the Helminth skills. It increases you BASE move speed which will me your speed scale exponentially with haste reservoir, making you hit every wall or stopping at every possible door frame as if you were playing Titania

[@nnjasmurf600]

thats why i replace her ulitmate with pillage. its op

[@shamanahaboolist]

Another high quality vid. Nice.

[@adamin97]

Now i need to look at something. Does self hp damage from aura gives energy per kill if You have hp damage to energy? TESTING TIME! edit. It does not work. I think. Need further testing...

[@gabehuntley1310]

A bit late, but I will let it be known that Arcane Arachne stacks multiplicatively off weapon attacks, such as the one known as B.S.

[@transcendkira]

Unironically thanks for not focussing on her butt... That's gotten seriously tiring already, and also she looks better with her auxiliary and/or syandanas on. She's supposed to be ethereal and they really add to that flowey ephemeral look, personally.

[@transcendkira]

It obviously not a super serious problem but like, c'mon all it's kinda old by now.

[@jadeprinces]

What kind of shards is good to use with this?

[@kutraxa3356]

sol gate needs a danse macabre like damage ramp up

[@welshinspector8252]

No mention of eclispe? I thought eclipse worked uniquely on breach surge, increasing the damage by silly amounts?

[@Goldy01]

He did mention that general weapon damage increases buff sparks twice.

[@WhichWisp]

I have a lot of hours on wisp Personally I find Archon Intensify to be annoying and unreliable (First you have to put down a vit mote which is almost 40 energy with 45% Eff, then someone has to take damage they heal and only then are you allowed to put down your motes again) I have umbral intens there and instead of augur reach I have umbral fiber (that costs 2 more forma, one of which being umbral) I don't get the +60% ability strength in theory but in return I get 55% at all times

[@JC-ex3gp]

I modified her around her 2 and passive, and then Synagize with the ful. That put 5 enemies to sleep every time I land. I love it

[@lucasetche]

Is Nourish a must in this build or can you go something different?

[@noahedenborg4221]

Something diffrent U don't need to copy the build exactly just build around ur own playstyle

[@CalamitasBrimstoneWitch]

'This Syandana stays ON.' Pfft that's amazing-

[@Phos9]

So am I unusual in actually not liking wisp buffs? I don’t like the way my character moves changing mid mission, and the fire rate buff tends to kill the ammo economy of certain guns that are on the edge already. Plus, the melee attack speed buff requires you to mash E even harder to take advantage of

[@dogma32]

*Laughs in binding melee to scroll wheel*

[@DarkShadowDragon48]

*Laughs in holding the melee button to automatically melee at full attack speed.*

[@DivingHawker]

To me, Health tanking shouldn't be a thing in most cases if you use her 2 properly. It's free invisibility + distraction after all and should be used often to maximise the effectiveness of her 3

[@Houndfluff]

dont forget the 3s of invincibility after reactivate

[@Jay-xq1dc]

True. But it just depends on how active play style people prefer. Luckily Warframe gives the players options to choose what they want and not force specific play style.

[@SusloNick]

most wisp players are too lazy to jump or press2 or even clueless how she works - Ive seen so many wisps die in arbitrations cause they only stack strength and think motes will save them

[@DivingHawker]

@@Jay-xq1dc Yes but like, it's not like you need to spam it, it's a great "Oh shit" button in my opinion on top of having great utility with the teleport and synergy with her 3

[@maximilianherrmann1430]

@@SusloNick depends on the level. Face tanking is viable for about lv400 enemies.

[@highpriestofseti]

i replaced her 4th with larva, way easier for crowd control, one or two shots into it with a good tenet arca plasmor for example in SP, done.

[@Goldy01]

Try Gyre's Coil Horizon instead: gives you energy from Archon Stretch, can be recasted and has more range

[@highpriestofseti]

@@Goldy01 intressting, will try on another build slot. thx

[@TheKengineer]

You need the polarity of the aura slot to either match or be universal. You currently have it on a Warframe with the wrong polarity.

[@CulturedHeaven]

It's possible to place all 3 reservoir in 1 click ?

[@quintessenceoflife7870]

I just hate how sol gate ticks slowly. You'd expect it to tick rapidly for less damage then tick slowly for more damage.

Nooo 18 mins where im not staring at wisp's behind

[@nguyenhuyduc9151]

Wisp IS available at duviri. I did one time with wisp yesterday..

[@merlintheageless]

He means available to aquire from running normal Circuit. Not available to use.

[@norneaernourn8240]

I built mine different. Less strength, and okay efficiency. No shield gating. Using floaty mods to get her airborne and invisible. You just have to not touch the ground for it to work. I also have one version that uses Arachne (for the lulz). I've hit damage numbers in the billions on BS sparks.

[@tudeabides]

Lol at me aim gliding with Wisp all this time
