[@BepisJones]

Tbf, it's now just more like Verglas being 95% good and Verglas Prime being 98% with Artax at 100%, with the worst weapons at maybe 60%. Before, I remember when you used Deconstructor Prime, at 100%, or you just used your Smeeta because companions were useless

[@connorboyle2585]

If you told me this was part 2/3 of the companion rework and next round was for sentinels I'd fully believe it. Beasts are eating good right now. Deal insane damage and can even room clear by themselves with contagious bond while still being built for maximum utility or durability. Meanwhile sentinel weapons might as well not have changed at all. Using them honestly feels bad cause I'm losing so much by not bringing a beast companion.

[@the_ogre_lord5654]

@Pancake699 mods like condition overload and galvanized aptitude/savvy offer the effect "gain 80% additional damage per status effect impacting the target". "Priming" is simply the process of applying a bunch of different status effects to an enemy, or "priming" them with status effects. So with a weapon like the kuva nukor (or anything that can apply a lot of different status effects to a target) you can get a bigger damage buff than direct damage mods like serration or pressure point.

One more important thing to note is that the Brust Laser and its prime variant come with innate IPS, making it the best in slot for status application on Diriga with Arc Coil and Manifold Bond. using the proper setup, you'll be getting impact, slash, puncture, viral, heat, and radiation on all affected targets for an effective +580% damage (viral adding a total of 180% due to its effect on health).

[@truepowerlive]

Also, you can use Coolant Leak on any sentinel to also apply status AoE. I like to use my Nautilus as a very effective grouping tool with Coolant Leak and Manifold Bond, and the cooldown of both Cordon and Coolant Leak are reset via Manifold Bond, very good synergy.

[@Dac85]

Unfortunately still very niche. You pretty much never actually need that many from it, and the utility you miss out on from using better weapons far, far, FAR outweighs what is, in the end, a relatively minor difference in overall damage.

You've done the Deconstructor Prime DIRTY in this video. Well before this update, I was having to unequip it when trying to complete Nightwave tasks to land kills with specific elements because my Helios was extremely good at kill stealing. It didn't matter what content I was going to. It even managed to steal a noticeable amount of kills in Steel Path, and without a riven either. If you think it isn't a great weapon, you probably haven't given it a good try. There's one important thing to keep in mind when modding it: It's a glaive. Primed Pressure Point, Rebound, Whirlwind, Healing Return, and more are compatible with it.

[@daktuno]

how does this compete against the verglas if we're talking about killing potential?

[@SilvasRuin]

@@daktuno I never did acquire the Verglas, so I haven't had a chance to compare them directly. But the Deconstructor Prime is effectively an AoE weapon thanks to all the bouncing, and you can get the status chance to be nearly 100%. So it can deal good damage, strip armor, inflict Corrosive stacks, and CC multiple targets at a time and heal itself all in one build thanks to being a glaive. Thanks to qualifying for glaive and melee mods. It doesn't really matter if the Verglas kills individual targets faster when the Deconstructor "has it all". The Verglas is only going to beat it against single targets. The main issue is that Kengineer lumped the Deconstructor in with the trash and claimed it didn't have any worthwhile use. That is an absurd claim to make.

[@daktuno]

@@SilvasRuin thanks. great comment. Guess I'll have to give it try.

[@grummdoesstuff2983]

Deconstructor does have some niche, as it is silent due to being classed as a melee, despite the weapon stats disagreeing, and it is also the only sentinel weapon that an equip Shattering Impact to remove armor. But, a corrosive/heat set up is better for armor stop since the armor scaling changes

[@-GuessMyName]

Only Sentinel weapon capable of using "on melee hit" Bond mods (Vicious, and Seismic), too!

Vicious bond? You can equip that too since it's 15% of armor stripping per hit

It is worth noting ecause of Deconstructor's IPS damage cycling mechanic, it will only proc Shattering Impact on one out of every three attacks.

Vicious bond means that spot can be Healing Return instead of Shattering, which works fine on Decon to heal Helios.

Deconstructor Prime honestly has good utility in my experience, as it’s able to armor strip at a relatively cheap cost. Shattering Impact and Viscous Bond combined tend to full strip armor in a burst or two, and I’ve heard mention of a method to keep Deconstructor continually firing rather than it having to “reload” after a burst.

[@CassieCarryd]

Hope you're seeing all these comments talking about how the deconstructor prime is capable of codex scanning and full armor stripping groups of enemies and working on an addendum. Since new players would probably benefit from stuff like that the most.

Just a note on the Helstrum and Tazicor, you can use primed firestorm for bettter AOE status spread. The chain range increases to 5.75m on the Tazicor with the mod, and punch through will allow the effect to propagate multiple times

[@FelisImpurrator]

Why the hell does Tazicor scale with firestorm?

[@ariaangela3455]

Chaining beam is very quirky. The main beam is affected by Beam Length modifier for its maximum length. The additional beams created on impact of main beam have set "search radius" and will seek the closest enemy. This "search radius" is affected by AoE modifier and the additional beam does not benefit from punch through. This doesn't apply to just Tazicor. It applies to ALL chaining beam weapons. Amprex, Kuva Nukor, Torid, Atomos, you name it

[@ReleeSquirrel]

I guess this is an end-game problem. I know on the star chart, my Helios Prime with the Deconstructor Prime can kill most enemies without my help, and pretty quick.

[@thegrouchization]

Something to note about Artax: It seems to alter the sentinel's targeting priority so that it will avoid attacking any enemy that has a full 10 cold procs unless there are no other available targets. Meaning that if you spec it into fire rate, status chance, multishot and Shivering Contagion _without_ altering its cold damage, your sentinel will freeze a whole cluster of enemies in under a second, then immediately switch its focus to repeat the process with another group. It's a pretty good option if you want to passively CC enemies around you for free.

[@TWGuardian]

The Verglas can still be easily moded for a triple element gun thanks to the mod "Accelerated Isotope", since it ads radtiation damage separately that does not mix with other elements by itself, adding it to the viral heat setup already mentioned and allowing the nice status spread from the bond mod.

[@nssheepster]

Huh. I had not caught on that part of Artax's damage was 'immutable'. That's very neat TBH. I thought it was simply Baby's First Verglas, really. The unchanging cold damage makes it significantly more valuable. Might change over to that, with a Fired Up setup. As for the rest of the video, I've personally found Tazicor a more reliable status spreader than the Helstrum in practice, simply because it doesn't have any projectile travel time, and is not stopped by corners or scenery. The damage is very bad though, most definitely.

[@Eclipse_IV]

I would like to make an argument for the Burst Laser Prime. There is a specific/niche setup where it is very useful: priming for melee builds. If you use diriga with arc coil and manifold bond, you force proc all statuses from the sentiel weapon within melee range. The burst laser has IPS built in, meaning that it forces the highest number of statuses compared to most companion weapons. On top of this, the burst laser prime can reach the 50% crit threshold without a riven. With this setup, you get a ton of statuses guaranteed instantly for condition overload, and that crit damage multiplier.

[@joshpoole3364]

I was gonna say the same for laser rifle I use it with the same diriga setup and having 6 unique status without having to use my epitaph is nice for a CO melee build

[@twoheadedgiantgaming7029]

Prime laser rifle is amazing for QoL/as a statstick, you can reach 50% crit with it for tenacious bond, put shivering contagion on it, prime 6 elements for CO (IPS, rad, viral, electric), and put vigilante mods on it for more stacks of the set bonus

[@howchildish]

Ive always used sentinels as extra utility rather than for damage. I modded my death cube with a sweeper that does little damage but as much fire rate, punch through, bullet speed, and increased spread as possible just so it tags as much enemies as possible per shot for energy generator to reset every 5 to 10 seconds.

[@Metall1st3]

I've been waiting for someone to cover this for so long, thanks!

[@cerebralcloud92]

On the Helstrum, I would personally recommend equipping it on the Dethcube while running Arcane Energize / Equilibrium builds, as that plays into the “Get Assists for Health/Energy Orbs” playstyle that select mods support.

[@danielzavala3746]

Tazicor is a better helstrum since it chains now and is a beam. Helstrum can be a pain at priming enemies if you kill them too fast. The projectile speed of the weapon is slow.

[@CGrimesThisTime]

Ever since I got Nautilus Prime that has replaced Panzer as my default companion. I currently run Verglas Prime with a cold + gas build. The idea behind it is that Nautilus will group the enemies and spread cold with Shivering Contagion while they sit in a gas cloud. Also, those are 2 elements I don't have on most of my weapons so it helps boost GunCO.

I understand that not every normal weapon can make it into late game either, but it still sucks that half of the sentinel ones are just completely useless outside of niche cases Thank you as always for the informative video :)

[@BahamutsBeloved]

I have to disagree with your opinion on the stinger. I’ve found exceptional use with a combination of manifold bond and the status spreading bond to consistently spread toxic, viral, and heat. It has the unique property of being a DOT weapon, where it embeds itself over 3 seconds and does a bit of damage every second (from what I can tell) with each instance of damage not only seemingly having a 100% chance of toxic, but the ability to apply other status effects as well, if not on the initial hit of the projectile. It’s status chance usually cannot get too far above 70%, but with its decent fire rate and that it’s burst fire, it can still apply plenty of damage. Combine it with fired up, and because it’s a DOT weapon that applies DOT status, fired up is nearly almost at 100% the second it hits. Meaning you will regularly have toxic, viral, and heat damage on an enemy. This can melt a foe pretty fast, and combined with the Fatal Attraction precept mod and manifold bond, you can easily get a proc of viral, toxic, and heat off on multiple enemies when they’re lured in. TL;DR, the stinger has a lot of potential when given investment, being able to reliably damage enemies and apply heat, viral, and toxic at an effective rate.

[@blacksunserpent]

So the way to increase fire rate is to put less bounce on it and projectile speed. There your helios will act as a turret that will seek and destroy. Especially if put duplex bond on it as since the weapon it has is considered a melee it will pursue and destroy. Though i must warn it has a nasty habit of spawn camping and not allowing enemies to group up

The most annoying bug I found was Multron inflicting self stagger. That one needs fixed, and Helstrum needs the patch note fire rate.

[@adummy9664]

5:50 Kind of trolling to suggest buying Nautilus from the market when you can currently get Nautilus Prime from player trading for 45 Plat right now if you're too lazy to farm relics while literally being better in every way...

[@ryan5412]

I personally think burst laser prime is a dirga stapple since its got ips stats that apply with the abilities when using the bond mod

[@triggered_tomato]

i like my robo puppies. and i love the batoten weapon. those who know, know. Great vid as always mate!

[@Milkbootable]

found it a little odd that your spiel about buying base Verglas/Nautilus for plat didnt also mention Nautilus Prime/Verglas prime currently farmable from relics (and probably comparably cheap for a set via trade)

[@ANONIM64564]

You can use Tenacious Bond to buff Kullervos melee even further.

[@lesbo6347]

Best use of the Tazicor now, is using Coolant Leak as ur attack mod. Turns the weapon in to an AOE around you. anything that comes into range instantly gets full spectrum of status's u equipped.

[@PatVX1]

I'm very much a fan of the classical single target weapons in Warframe, so it's a little sad to find out that the Sentinel weapons I loved as a new player like Deth Machine Rifle, Sweeper, and Laser Rifle, are still pretty useless. Sure they were alright at very low levels, but obviously that falls off pretty fast. Which got me thinking: Maybe they could do something like what they did with the other companions Link Mods, but for Sentinel weapons? Like a mod that lets you copy X% of your Primary or Secondary weapon's crit or status chance, or damage values, so that they don't make the Sentinel weapons strong unless you yourself have strong weapons to pair them with? I'm bad with stats, so idk if that would be useful, or broken, or useless, I dunno lol

[@strigon012]

Only today I learned sentinel weapon got adjusted since I only use verglas and helstrum (paired with energy generator)

[@mikebarr2436]

"Deconstructor is not worth using" my butt, my silly floating camera deletes armor from everything in the room without having to rely on corrosive procs and still gets kills all on its own.

[@kurokagethescrub9627]

I will not stand for Multron slander. It may be just a worse Helstrum when it comes to status spreading, but it has no problem reaching the 50% crit chance breakpoint with a Riven, making it the best budget substitute for Verglas Prime when it comes to status + Tenacious Bond builds.

[@d2kwazza57]

Since the beast companion rework does anyone else find it harder to use sentinels? I just love resourceful retriever too much

[@noahedenborg4221]

i only really use beasts for that mod during farm sesh or fissures or fishing

[@d2kwazza57]

@ fair personally I find getting the bond mod set to proc so much easier with beasts

[@NobleVI_343]

after I saw it doubles credits aswell, im having a hard time taking it off

[@GunnarGuyVA]

I have to be in a simulation, I am in game right now I just put the reactor on my verglass prime, that I got yesterday and I went to go look to see "oh maybe Kengineer has something about this" only to see you uploaded this an hour ago? Are you in my house???

[@noahedenborg4221]

theres also cryota its torid yeah it makes cold aoes that linger also has the % cold that does not combine so with 1 toxin mod u get cold viral and toxin toxin pretty low

[@Trooper10231]

I remeber when Sweeper Prime was King of Status Priming for CO. Im old! 😅

[@yvanmezencev4669]

Personnaly I almost never use the Verglas, I don't really want my sentinel to kill stuff, I just want it to spread tons of status and get assists to proc synth deconstruct, that why I mostly use Tazicor and Helstrum

[@Longshanks1776]

The deconstructor can be used to get the gladiator set bonus, but that's simply not a useful enough feature to use Helios with an otherwise useless weapon.

[@geammanDW]

They nerfed the gladiator set bonus, it no longer works on pets. The other sets still work however.

[@hartantoanggoro]

I traded guns with claws of the beast.... I never regretted it ever since...

[@tonson5214]

7:40 DID HE JUST SAY SKIBIDI

[@hellkaiser1366]

I like the Tazikor,which is basicly Amprex but small

[@joshuasmith6909]

Throwing Cryotra under the bus makes me sad, but I guess I should try out the Helstrum and see how they compare on the Nautilus. I’ve been using Cryotra with a Cordon spam setup as crowd control support for shield gate frames, so if Helstrum gets me more output those frames will be happy campers.

[@danielzavala3746]

Try the tazicor instead for priming. It doesn’t have projectile travel time like the helstrum. The tazicor is a beam that chains.

[@TheRagnus]

Petition to bring back the machine gun Deconstructor bug as an augment

[@MrAwesomeBart]

I'm a simple creature, would you be so nice to make a graph with best status primers and/or best damage dealers?

[@paralegalparaplegic8177]

Could you do a video on Moa's?

[@sepulcrumsumus8909]

Me looking at my Cryotra: - Look how they massacred my boy.

[@toxicsneeze]

Dang, that last section is so not what I wanted to hear.... having just unlocked a multron riven and realizing I can get past the 50% break point now... also isn't there some niche uses to the deconstructor because it has access to melee mods? Stripping armor is think. I guess maybe not anymore with vicious bond hu?

[@cloutyweather]

7:41 kengineer is the rizz god confirmed

[@Niczu.]

Too bad sentinels don't have the most important buff to me personally, which is Resourceful Retriever. Getting occasional double Steel Essence is just so freaking nice.

[@arbit4468]

Not only is Vulcax trash, it has an MR requirement of 14, one of the highest in the game. Really wish they had done more for it.

[@billyrigg7829]

This video is very informative, but it’s not very user-friendly. If somebody wanted to have a quick reference to your builds for each gun, they would have to remember what build the gun was for since you don’t label them for snapshots. I find that a lot of KZbinrs do that… yes I understand. I could pause it and write it down, but the inconvenience causes me to go elsewhere in the future. Other than that I think the video is great.

[@brightessence7587]

7:41 Skippidi?!

[@Raionhardt]

They buffed sentinel weapons its finally time to- verglas is still king

[@sonohanabira9703]

Welp, my cc cd ms artax riven is still weeping in kuva😂 Gotta reroll that thing I guess.
