[@Spubbily01]

TBF there's no reason why it shouldn't, Acid Shells is good but it's not overpowered. Also the player backlash would be immense, it's legit the only reason people use the sobek. Frankly it would be cool if they remove compatibility with the Kuva Sobek and instead bake its effects into the gun at base.

This is a prime video to show to someone when they say they have no idea how to mod. You showcased exactly how your thought process went. From testing the weapon's/wf's capability to identifying the core problem then to testing a possible solution. From there you then identify the weakness of said solution and then try to solve it. Repeat until satisfactory. That is what I believe the fun part of warframe's modding system. The vast amount of options and possibilities in terms of not just dps, but also taste and preferences. Great video to start my morning with

[@GWCuby]

Something worth noting about toxic lash is that the toxin damage from it scales with the toxin mods on your weapon aswell as the damage from venom dose, additionally toxic lash triple dips faction modifiers so cleanse mods and roar give it absurd amounts of damage. Both of these apply to the acid shells explosions meaning you can push this setup to insane heights against any faction thanks to 2 corrosive shards + spores taking care of armor

[@firestampedegaming2031]

From my messing around: It feels like Roar also works with Acid Shells, as well as the toxin procs from the detonations with Lash. You can clear a room in a hurry with it, even against armor.

[@GWCuby]

Toxic lash triple dips faction damage which includes roar

[@TheIcyLinders]

Put on a few green shards on her and you'll have full armor strip as well as extra Toxin damage. Doesn't matter what faction, Sobek Saryn melts it.

[@PetroklosZDM]

Roar, and every other source of "Faction" Damage, does indeed work with Acid Shells.

[@ReiEvangelista]

Saryn main here. I have 2 tau armor shards, 2 tau toxic heal shards, and 1 tau corrosive +procs shard +umbral mods. I suggest you give Contagion cloud a try - it's like gas, but better. And also stacks with gas effects. Also, every toxic proc tics you deal to enemies will heal you.

[@bradleymallard6347]

You can use green shards for bonus toxin damage, which works on toxic lash and applies to toxin procs from the scaling explosions.

[@SOULxxdragon]

Oh huh always heard people talking about Sobek and Saryn doing funny things, this looks like dumb fun, thanks for the fun video MC!

Gotta see how this compares to my current saryn/sobek combo, see what tweaks can be made or what not. Another great video as always.

[@quenquent95]

I remember your first Sobek video. I was malding at the fact that you used a riven. Good to see you come around :D Also, it might sound silly, but for more status and some help with survival, the Arbiter of Hexis mod for the Sobek, Shattering Justice, helps with both! As the mod gives status chance and the syndicate effect heals you and increase your armor for a bit, going even more for a health-tank kind of Saryn. If Kuva Sobek can't equip either, I swear I will stop playing this game...

[@lookalike4805]

[@misu1200]

You can use energy to shield conversion mods like augur with catalyzing shields and just use molt very often, low efficiency helps too

[@samuelemmert5136]

Sobek was my "Oh my void... I get it" moment for Saryn. And you just scratched the Iceberg- the Venom Dose augment for Saryn is a *massive* multiplier to the damage of this setup (and Gun Saryn in general) If you want to go *extra* hard on the Sobek chicanery, subsume Xata's Whisper onto Saryn. It's the same type of "extra hit" effect as toxic lash (scaling in most of the same ways, too) and with both active plus venom dose you can get some crazy results, even against the grineer. Also, while I don't *typically* advocate for augur/brief respite shield gating, Saryn is basically made for it. Shed is 0 delay and cleanses statuses, not only being ideal for gating but actually covering for one of the bigger weaknesses of the strat, too (damaging status, esp. toxin) Health tanking definitely works tho, Saryn even has an augment for healing and synergizes with multiple secondary sources (emerald shards, Molt Reconstruct, etc.)

[@Mackinz92]

I am going to love this video. The Sobek was my main primary before I realized I needed a huge DPS increase and switched to the Arca Plasmor and then to the Incarnon Boar. I never could find a satisfying Acid Shells build, and I am really looking forward to the Kuva Sobek

[@TheArdhanarishvara]

i highly recommend subsuming roar on saryn with max strength and having as many +toxin mods on the sobek as possible (including a riven) and a bane mod for more premium thing you can get tauforged emerald shards for even more multiplicative damage on the toxin procs (they’ll start one shotting grineer steelpath)

[@darrincheng771]

the more effective strategy for some is to build range and strength, where two tarhun bottles add the extra corrosive stack for stripping, and the viral + toxic lash do the damage and funny boom

[@NathanTruby]

The Thermagnetic Shells build video should be fun

[@erosbronzo6518]

Hey Mr. KZbinman, I recently built the Sobek and tried a similar setup. My Saryn build is fairly tanky thanks to all 3 umbral mods and adaptation, primed continuity and narrow minded for a ton of duration, then blind rage and of course venom dose. Arcane blessing/grace for even more survivability and arcane energize + 1 amber shard for energy management (the shard is for energy filled on spawn, so I can free cast roar on spawn thanks to zenurik than toxic lash and spores).

[@mrhappyface4181]

Hey dude. Shield gating for beginners is simple: Add 1 shield recharge mod, and Arcane Aegis. It's the training wheels you need because you've been using Arcane Grace with H/A tanking for so long.

[@uncleluxord4363]

I know you've done a Sampotes video before but do you think you could touch up on it since they updated slam damage/ modding?

[@slothbelly5332]

“we didn't actually need to move the d at all, it would fit anyway.” -mcgamercz

[@penumbra1465]

is it time? yes, it's time for compilation of Mr. KZbinman's quotes!

[@TehDonut]

Felt it when you said you're more adjusted to tanking rather than shield gating. I personally use a shield gate setup on Saryn, but it's really stressful listening for the audio cue of the shield popping over the neverending hail of gunfire and explosives in Steel Path content. Tanking is far more chill. It works very well for Saryn since her Molt ability works wonderfully when used in conjunction with Brief Respite and Catalyzing Shields. Hit 2 to instantly regenerate your shields. Far more active than a standard tanking setup, unfortunately; you need to be hyper-mobile with gating to not be stuck in a perpetual loop of mashing your shield regen button. It's... Not ideal for those of us who prefer slower and more precise movement over the frantic (and frankly slightly sickening) movements required.

[@dublindom3720]

Are you going to try something with the new lavos augment?

[@drantino]

this setup is just so much fun, if you invest just enough to get it to work in armor strip situations, it just melts everything. the setup i use if someone wants to do a more invested setup is archon continuty max range spore build. the amount of str you need to get acid shells to kill well also using a faction mod is not actually that much. and the 1 step further is subsume roar over molt or miasma(i prefer molt) for the triple dipping insanity of toxic lash and universal faction dmg. even with 150 power str this thing still does enough to chain as long as you can get a inital kill

[@rob679]

One of my favourite setups is to use it with +toxin proc damage emeralds and Primary Blight so I have enemies with bazillion toxin procs in entire room and then exploding.

[@kilmcm45]

Also... cheap armor strip on Saryn is Archon Continuity...jow all your toxic will also do Corrosive procs everytime they take toxic damage from you.

[@snivyland2878]

When helminth first came out I was sad toxic lash wasn’t Saryn helminth ability, that was until I realized toxic lash enables this on the sobek

[@chaosgyro]

Does this work similarly with Xata's Whisper? I'd like to try these shenanigans without being bolted to Saryn.

[@Raso719]

What are people thinking for their progenitor element? I'm wondering if magnetic might be a good idea since we have a single mod That can give us radiation... Combine those with the sobek naturally high status effect and build around galvanized CO for guns. Not unlike the old Kuva, Nukor builds.

Can always try running Arcane Grace with Parasitic Armor over Molt with Primed Redirection or Primed Vigor. Strength multiplies the Shield conversion .. So its pretty easy to end up with 1k+ Health and capped Armor DR with it. Kuva Sobek is going to be fun with a build like that lol

I personally recommend using quick thinking mod as a defence mechanic.

[@stephanluciw7703]

Not gonna lie, seeing you fumble your way for 3 minutes straight with Energy Shield when Adaptation not only is in all your builds but also was right there on the screen was quite maddening, as if you just actively refused to see it when looking for mods xd It's a shame you couldn't come up with a general build for armored units as well, but seeing those "Limbo Cata-bomb"-sized explosions was quite entertaining all the same.

Second best shotgun, right behind Hek and maybe Twin Hek

[@DarkmegaGaming]

3:35 lmao. builds shield gating, then goes and fight's the enemy faction where it's worthless. Cause a toxin ancient or eximus just walks in your general direction and vaporizes you on the spot. Nice one, I guess. :V Some adaptation + health conversion or some armor arcane would probably serve better to not die to poison ticks. Alternatively, if the frame has armor, I just double down with some vitality or blessing instead. Also have you ever considered using some operator buffs to get yourself going? like popping void strike on madurai (1000% damage for 10 seconds), or building some lethal levitation stacks using naramon (200% damage for like 60 seconds with 4 dudes). Although naramon's usually considered the melee focus school the damage bonus from lethal levitation helps accelerate those first few kills on weapons that rely on galvanized or just need a bit of extra oomph to cut through things like the sobek when the enemy level/armor gets going. Unairu is also an armor+shield strip and space saving 60 second primed sure footed in your pocket for frames that don't have it also.

[@MCGamerCZ]

I have always said that I am my own worst enemy

[@FusionRogue]

@@MCGamerCZ Also keep in mind for a shield gate setup you want to run Brief Respite or some of the Augur mods on your frame for the set bonus that way you can actually regain your shields by popping your abilities. You can also run the Augur mods on your companion's weapons if you can't fit any of the Augur mods on your frame. So in this case with those mods you'd be pressing Molt when your shield breaks on a catalyzing setup.

Not try flux rifle with combustion beam on corpus.

gas didn't realy do anything, since only the toxin proc spreads because of toxic lash, and for some reason that toxin damage IS affected by mods, but only by toxin mods and faction damage mods. Also said toxin from the lash can make enemies explode again and so on until theres no more enemies, so yeah gas is literally pointless since it wont spread.

[@rob679]

I think it does, a little bit. Gas clouds still should count as Sobek's damage, so when Toxin Lash is active, if gas cloud touches something it will add toxin proc from Lash resulting enemies dying and imploding quicker.

[@matte5404]

Correction for anyone watching this late since Hellmanz hasn't corrected it himself. It does 450 Corrosive Damage and 45% of The Enemies Max(Base) Health as additional BLAST damage, not Corrosive. It also only takes into account BASE health for the MAX health. So an enemy with 150 base health but 60 000 health in SP will only take 450 Corrosive dmg and 67.5 BLAST dmg and even less so for enemies with armor. Which is exactly why this mod is utterly terrible unless you're playing Saryn.
