MELEE MODDING BUFFED! | Melee Crescendo Buffed Kullervo & Exodia Contagion!

[@KnightmareFrame]

RAG-DOLL GROUND FINISHERS: Changed to Interact and no longer melee swing, made easier.

[@AnhLe-pg6mx]

why i use the void snare its also ragdoll my WF :DD

[@smortonmedia]

So nice to see the Vazarin+ground finisher technique, I learned this on my own a little while back to make Kullervo perma invis in SP survival with the trickery arcane. Love your videos, I always learn so much!

[@Faide_pro]

How do you do ground finisher

[@smortonmedia]

@@Faide_pro When an enemy is on the ground, can look down at them and just hit the melee button. A "ground finisher" attack will automatically happen. When using Vazarin's 2 ability, it pulls enemies in causing them to ragdoll, effectively putting them into a state that a "ground finisher" can be performed on them. But again, just look down at them, press melee button, and the finisher will be performed (usually).

[@Starhiveart]

Its not working for me for some reason no matter how much i spam it, not sure why. Im about to just use naramon

[@smortonmedia]

@@Starhiveart That's odd, it shouldn't cause too much trouble. There ARE occasions when it doesn't want to work (this even happens in the video). But it really is just melee when looking down at a downed enemy.

[@Starhiveart]

@@smortonmedia idk, i tried swapping to just my melee weapon too, i was using daggers, the only thing i think might affect it is magus anomaly but idk

[@Aegis4521]

For those not willing to switch focus schools, you can also use Zephyr’s airburst ability to group ragdoll, although it may be a bit less consistent. It’s also her subsumed ability, so u can put it wherever

[@janovmi2]

[@gmbullitt]

I love Kullervo! I'll definitely try your build! I've been playing this game on/off for a long time and even though my MR is 22 I think most of my builds are garbage lol I put a lot of formas on them early so now to make them doable for higher levels, I have to put better/stronger mods on them basically having to replace polaraties. No one plays in my clan, and no one talks in games, so just kind of winging it. Thanks for your videos, keep it up!

I'm more of a heavy attack guy and this changes everything. Corrupt charge has served me very well for years but it's now time to say goodbye. Hello free mod slot.

[@adamin97]

I mean to get max buff with +6 permanent combo to 220 You only need to kill 37 enemies~ Fast stacking and kinda op. Btw Glave explosion build can work with it crazy good. Mayby some bonus damage from ivaras controll ability and some crazy 10 billion is easy~

[@LPCypher]

Not me listening on the background and hearing “Shayura’s Wrath” with D2 ‘Nam flashbacks

[@michelauspimmelberger]

You can also use Roar as Helminth ability since it stacks wonderfully with Kullervo and you get enough energy most of the times anyways. nautilus with Manifold Bond can also group enemys and proc viral, otherwise I love to use the epitaph to prime viral, cold and blast in one go.

[@averagejoegaming1045]

Eclipse should work like equinox night/day forms. Toggle between them with duration affecting the timer of the respective buffs imo

[@idclol2883]

Eclipse should just be a toggle in the first place.

+1 for Vigorous Swap. But Precision intensify so much better for an eclipse contagion build. Even Bigger red crits. Breach surge doesnt need much strenght to hit dmg cap anyway.

Ive been enjoying Melee Retaliation on Styanax, since im always overguarded, my shield never goes down and my melee gets the damage multiplier from the arcane and the critical chance from Styanax’s’ passive

[@wanted_melon2348]

Kullervo may be the one of the most satisfying Warframes to get kills with

[@Demagogines]

A rank one Melee Crescendo takes you 220 finishers. A maxed out one, only 37. You dont even need the focus school. Bronco (Prime) with its mod exists. Also I noticed while fumbling around in the simulacrum that dagger heavy attacks can open up enemies to finishers. Then there is the parry mod if you are getting desperate. If you have Equinox or their ability in the helminth, use that instead. Banshees silence does also opens up enemies for finishers as far as I remember and I dont know if Kullervos 1 does count or not.

[@Demagogines]

Also, since it seems like groundfinishers do work, you might wanna consider Sarofang as an option.

[@peterk9562]

awesome synergies again ...thank you very much! but i have a short UI question seeing at your vids: how did you change the settings to show dmg-numbers like "3.2m" instead of "3.200.000"?

I have the same problem. My combo counter get everytime back to 1 😞

Hey KnightmareFrame, love this video (and the admission of guilt with void-eclipse-number-padding, gave me a good chuckle). Just curious, you mentioned vigorous swap, arachne, and fury, but that just increasing the STR of eclipse seemed to perform better (I assume you mean with molt augmented)...did you try Precision Intensify instead of Umbral Intensify? Wouldn't this further amplify Eclipse? Sure, you'd be losing str on motes and breach surge, but BIG EXODIA NUMBER yea?

[@perturabo149]

well, its not worth to spam the living shit out of heavy attack with that arcane naked (aka nothing) because of how combo counters works (being that it ramps up after you use it, taking around 6 seconds for max counter) so use kullervo, voruna or heavy attack efficiency and wait a few moments if you use in anything (note: i am adding info, its not trash talking the build, more akin to a tip and as a why)

[@geammanDW]

Or shoot Rauta a couple times.@@KetchupT100

[@KetchupT100]

@@icastot there's an interaction between Tandem Bond and Panzer viral quills that latch to enemies. If you let it prime a few enemies with quills and then it attacks them, your combo counter will jump a few tiers in seconds. It helps if you also equip Swipe on it so the panzer attacks more than once each time. As for melee exposure, I personally use it now, it's great. It gives me corrosive and I changed my mod corrosive to radiation instead to cover other alloy armoured units.

[@jokwaxfriend]

Contagion only benefits from combo after it has travelled for 30 meters and has that small energy explosion. You even show this when you're explaining the build but then when you showcase it in the void, you're not throwing it nearly far enough for it to matter that you have Melee Crescendo.

[@RipperMatricus]

what about melee guidance, melee cresecendo and secondary outburst, dont have the setup yet to test it myself

[@hom-sha-bom]

Why does heavy attack efficiency matter if you have permanent 12x?

[@aubreyleblanc2843]

If I’m correct, even when you have initial combo (corrupt charge with perma 2x for example) using your heavy attack still uses that combo and sets it to 0. The initial combo then recharges back up. So the higher the initial combo, the longer period of time for it to charge back to full initial combo. I think it’s like ~5secs at 12x combo or something like that. High Heavy Attack efficiency means you aren’t using that combo all the way back to zero and waiting for a recharge. Instead your 12x heavy attack goes to 10x or 9x. Which means you can do back to back heavies or have a shorter recharge rate back to 12x.

[@aubreyleblanc2843]

For example if you watch him heavy attack at 4:11, you see his 12x go down to 11x then quickly recharge back to 12x. He has a really high heavy attack efficiency thus less combo lost and quicker full initial combo recharge.

[@Chilevec]

The big TL;DR question: Why not just use naramon? Why dedicate a melee arcane to an incredibly expensive arcane, as well as a focus school, when you can dedicate only the focus school via. naramon? Even better, since naramon is kinda meh, you can also instead just dedicate a weapon arcane (if you have a weapon that's just utility) or simply a melee mod slot (Drifting Contact - note that many meta melee builds have a flex slot that this goes well with). This means you're entire operator school is no longer locked. And if you want grouping AND combo, you can use the cheaper method of your combo duration of choice + melee vortex + mag primer. Basically, there are significantly cheaper and simultaneously less committed methods for similar/same results.

>Vazarin Use this instead as it doesn't use up your whole bleedin' Op Mode.

​@@Chilevecbecause using this arcane is more convenient than naramon, that's it bro, I mean, for kullervo, just think about it, his 1 is a heavy attack, even with naramon, if u keep doing heavy attacks even with 90% efficiency, u will get to the point where u have to build up combo to 12x AGAIN !, but with this, u don't have to , it just goes up on it's own, building max combo for like, idk 1 to 5 mins, means that for the rest of the however long u want mission, u don't have to build combo anymore, u actually waste time building combo to 12x again and again and again
