KUVA SOBEK is Frosts New Best Friend | Warframe

[@Just_Amatuer]

Funny that the acid shotgun is Frost's preferred weapon from this update and not the actual freeze ray lol

[@Tentacl]

You mean the freeze ray that does base 42 DPS? Yeah, shocking.

[@WhatWillYouFind]

@@Tentacl 84 base, beam weapons get 2 damage ticks per ammo. 84 base dps x (maximum targets / falloff per target) "before mods." Glaxion isn't copium good, its actually good. Think next time, ingame my glaxion murders everything in SP besides murmur enemies and is a comfort pick for when things need to die and I can't be bothered to charge or aim.

[@NinjaSyao]

@@WhatWillYouFind Frost's Biting Frost augment also comes into play, especially once the Cold buffs arrive, for a massive damage crit boost with guaranteed crits. Add the huge amount of energy its augment can provide and I don't think its a clear cut "Sobek Wins!" situation. Sobek is probably gonna win in terms of KPM, but Glaxion will have energy sustain as a trade-off.

[@shady980]

What I found about Glaxion is going corrosive cold with galvanized scope perform wayyyy better than typical viral HM setup since the base cc is laughable. Tried both setup and corrosive cold just kills enemies infinitely faster. Also primary frostbite exists and it gives way more than primary blight in terms of stat. I think glaxion is great, just need to not go for the usual HM setup which might be weird to get used to in this meta.

[@tylerprime6741]

Notably, acid shells and augments similar to it will, for some reason, also apply to nova 4 explosions, so (once the LoS stuff is fixed) you can very reliably prime enemies with nova 4, strip with pillage/terrify and just delete groups

[@NinjaSyao]

Yeah, Nova's 4 can inherit several things. Aznvasion showed awhile ago it can inherit and spread the effects of Amalgam Argonak Metal Auger (Xata's Whisper gets spread to other enemies too) with help of Melee Influence for AoE armor strip and nuking.

[@arthursorryformybadenglish5461]

​@@NinjaSyao This was fixed, like, this patch if I'm not mistaken. Knightmare frame did a revisit to the original nova inherit build that I was gonna replicate but...then this "fix" happened, sadly. But i don't know about de acid shells interaction tho

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

Even if it gets/got patched, dmg vulnerability is one of the few things that applies to acid shells. My favorite acid shells squads have a nova in them

[@tylerprime6741]

@@arthursorryformybadenglish5461 acid shells works, xatas still works although less consistently (possibly also some weird LoS buggyness) harder to test amalgam argonak but if the others work it'd be weird if they somehow only stealth fixed that one interaction

[@rafael6769]

For a person that builds full loadouts not separate builds this title makes me happy

[@agingerbeard]

Do you mean like all weapons items frame synergize somehow, not just best you have in each slot?

[@FrothyOmen]

If you're already running xoris on frost, which is kinda doing the same thing, you could also use felarx as the primary since it scales so well with xatas for single target damage. Been running that exact setup for months, I enjoy it.

[@Celso.Delgado]

Note that the interaction between Xata and Felarx, Laetum and Phenmor was nerfed a few weeks back.

[@Seneschaal]

That’s funny, I just finished putting this build together a couple of days ago; I’d been trying to find a good weapon for frost but had a hard time finding any good fits that weren’t just melee influence spam, even jat kittag wasn’t really cutting it. Sobek just has so much room for activities since you can easily get 0 mod viral from abilities and the weapon progenitor bonus. Good stuff

[@marcmichaud1643]

Don't get a max Sobek: What if the game already gave me one 😂.

[@WhatWillYouFind]

Saryn: Can comfortably add 2 elements to whatever the sobek already has, acid shells spreads status. Acid shells chains Armor Strip: Any warframe that can quickly strip armor can make ANY weapon feel and look viable Kuva Sobek on Frost: Unsurprisingly good, because armor stripped enemies are paper thin and Acid shells deals damage based off MAX hp of the target that dies. Acid shells has always been a niche pick. Frost: Anyone who has had his augments and played around with him over the years has known he is sleeper good. Frost is REALLY amazing in small tilesets and has a lot of good use cases. Don't sleep on frost

[@noahedenborg4221]

acid shells doesnt spread status

[@KhristianM.]

The Lenz will remain as the dedicated Frost weapon

[@knicklichtjedi]

[@johnmivule-novabow8143]

Time to add this to Frosts arsenal

[@jakeharrison207]

It’s worth noting as an alternative you can do a similar thing on frost with melee influence as that also gives frost a decent AoE add clear paired with his armor strip, albeit this looks better.

[@jonathanweeds]

I've found a love for gauss helminth ability that can apply freeze or fire to my weapons

[@byrd3242]

Yeah I know it was addressed in the video and I am just speculating but I think the acid shells xata's whisper and frost's 1 buff is definitely causing some unintended behavior. My understanding of acid shells is that because it's the sobek specific augment that only enemies killed by the sobek's projectiles or inflicted procs etc. should be proccing the augment's effect. This seems all too reminiscent of dual ichor's pools re-proccing themselves with melee influence. But hey who knows maybe they will leave it alone.

[@Cephalon_Nodens]

It is like that from the very beggining. They wont change it. I bet that they also wont fix LoS issue on the mod

[@Logined85]

I've been waiting for this moment ever since I've got my first riven for Sobek that has no re-roll value and adds Damage, Multishot and damage agains Grineer.

[@Xhadp]

You need to make a DPS Saryn w/3 weapon dps buffing abilities. It is different from the usual Toxic Lash x spore spreading version. And showcase various weapons with it. That would be so funny as DPS Saryn is already genocide capable and then considering that EVERYTHING scales with acid shells from Kuva Sobek with it is uhhhh a little absurd. Anyways, it is a shame that we need to say that this isn't overpowered because quite frankly it isn't but anything that is new always risks getting more unwarranted attention for alterations.

[@ErrantForay]

I actually like having weapons that are good but still below the maximum power because you get to play the videogame more when enemies don't evaporate

[@waterdog737]

Frost with another W Frost: Another one thank you

[@TheWarriorXander]

Instead of the the cleanse mod I run Seeking Fury for reload speed and some punch through. Also, Acid Shells can trigger even off Hunter Munitions slash proc, so get up close and personal with an Eximus and shoot them in the face, watch them and all their little buddies drop. Tested on a SP Crossfire Exterminate, both Grineer and Corpus were dropping like flies.

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

It can still be saryns best after the ichor nerf, particularly when you shoot 1 enemy and everything everywhere dies, other weapons dont do that. Its also %dmg of course, so it gets stupid if you like endurance

[@spenkerdetanker9067]

hey zime would this be even more bonkers with the frost augment that gives him more crit vs frozen enemies?

[@Brozime]

Nah kinda gums up the build but that might change with the cold proc stuff next month though I don’t think it will

[@falsefingolfin]

is xatas needed for this, or do subsumes like eclipse or roar work just as well?

[@gregoryjamaalfulton]

Ive still been running freeze the world with the Lateon P Incarnon. Ill add this to my roster though!

[@chrishoward4515]

Testing this out it seems like it works without freeze force augment so I put on Biting frost augment for the 200% extra crit chance and Crit dmg. Or you could just put a mod of your choice on instead like Archon flow for more energy and chance of getting energy orbs.

[@noahedenborg4221]

and that chance being bassicly never

[@ducokniepstra8217]

If you had a riven for the Sobek, what stat would you want on it to buff acid shells even further?? I have a toxin progenitor on my sobek, so i have a free mod slot. I currently have one with +crit chance, +Multishot, - recoil.

[@shui804]

Considering most people would probably just run HM or Primed Point blank in that free mod slot, Multi and crit is just straight up better than both in most cases, so that should be fine honestly

[@ducokniepstra8217]

@shui804 It would be, if I cared about the weapon damage. However, acid shells doesn't care about crit and multishot. So maybe I should just reroll for base damage or faction damage (which feels bad)

[@shui804]

@ducokniepstra8217 personally I wouldn't roll a riven for a specific niche in case DE patches some things and all of a sudden its unplayable. That is assuming you only have one.

De has been nerfing so much tho I be close to uninstall ,been dipping back into destiny 2 and cod tbh

[@Psycorde]

Saryn wat

[@user-jm8sy5ox2j]

The thing i have gathered from trying this build is that acid shells is truly a terrible mod. Its a concept that I love and would like to see an actual implementation of, but its current iteration is just horrible. Less than 50% of the acid shells explosions actually trigger for me, everything else gets blocked by weird LOS problems. Of course it is conceptually best with frost, but you have to spend over 100 energy per group of enemies, keep a elemental damage boost up, and keep xata's whisper active to do not very much AOE damage compared to most B tier frames. To make things worse, acid shells has radial fall off which means unless enemies are next to each other, then the explosion wont do any meaningful damage. That being said, this kind of works on Saryn but the sobek isn't your main avenue of damage (and its worse than a thrown melee). If you have toxic lash active, the sobek explosions will cause spores to spread and the toxin procs from toxic lash will cause enemies to explode with acid shells, so you can get a kind of unstable chain reaction going on tile sets where the enemy density is super high (such as some alchemy tiles) where you can spread huge amounts of toxin procs and they actually do damage because murmur has no armor and spores strip the armor they do have. The problem with running this on a Saryn is of course the existence of melee influence which is going to do insane amounts of damage compared to the sobek.

@@Brozime maybe it kinda is. But its still way easier/relaxed to simply press 4 and Just blindly drop a nuke on everyone redcritting everything away. Now this weapon gets kinda close, but seeing you still have to aim and needing several shots(because of the Bug i know) just makes it worse. Now maybe when they fix it, it can be another Story. My Point more or less is, that Frost can match or even reach higher killspeed than most builds on this Channel, If that is the metric we value now. And dont get me wrong, I love off meta builds and your Videos about it. But Frost is much better than you give him credit. Easily one of the most chill(hehe) frames you can Play and do VERY well

[@Galos-SC]

I'm assuming you are talking about biting frost augment. The crit numbers look very pretty but in reality that bonus only works on enemies that can be frozen which are just fodder enemies who are already going to die to anything you throw at them when you freeze and fully armor strip them with his 4.

[@DaDARKPass]

I'm sorry. This is not that strong? I haven't played this game for 6 years. I was wondering recently if I should get back into it, I see this video, and I see that there's like a billion different mods and different types of weapons, and stuff can go to level 40, and there's like so many more primed mods, and you can change your warframe's abilities? I'm sorry what? And then I see that you can kill like 20 level 200 enemies by activating 3 abilities and shooting 3 times, and I see like a hundred different modifiers at the top right. And then, and then, you tell me, that this is not that powerful, that other warframes can easily do this. I think this video's answered my thought - I'm never coming back to this game. Thank you.

[@mMayrro]

nobody asked

[@Metruzanca]

How long has it been since you played? Weapons that go to 40 have been in the game since at least 2019. If you want to see what he means by other weapons can do better, just look up "torid incarnon brozime". That being said, the game is in a really healthy state right now. Really great time to get back into it and you'll have loads of stuff to do with tons of endgame opportunities. If last you played was back when Tigris Prime was "the best weapon" yeah, you've got a lot of catching up to do, including swapping from a corrosive meta to a viral meta.

[@Sevrak_]

Well 6 yrs is a long time for the game to change. Tho it needs to be said that while this setup is nowhere near the top it is still more than enough for most content, especially if you play more casual. Going higher is not something the majority of the playerbase needs to worry about
