Warframe | Cascadia Empowered Is Underrated | BUT WHY ?

[@TECHN01200]

I think a better term than "Effective Status Chance" is "Status Per Second". It gets the point you are trying to make across better.

[@iconbluesn5648]

status per second, that takes me back...

[@Magnumwithtactical]

The term is used to keep uniformity with hp and effective hp do to armor and other damage reductions

[@Morfe02]

Status per bullet 😂

[@Geese3]

This channel is very underrated, informative, and good, but why? Because it is, keep it up.

[@praneelprasad5042]

[@asmodyan]

I said on the last vídeo about Pox that i didn't understand how Cascadia Empowered was strong and he followed up with this, i'm truly luck. Thanks a lot man, you are awesome

[@MCGamerCZ]

Your comment was one of the reasons I made this video.

[@asmodyan]

​@@MCGamerCZ Oh, now i'm even more grateful, this really helped a lot, thanks again for the work :D

[@cristianalmodovar6315]

Should try with dex furis, it melts everything if built to status chance, multi shot and fire rate

[@Laevaryl]

This on the Kompressa is comically effective lmao.

[@torunsmok5890]

Is it better than corrosive/viral/heat with cascadia flare though?

[@EricSpaete]

@@torunsmok5890 no not really but it's surprisingly not far behind depending on the build. rivens for Kompressa can be kinda crazy. i have a heat multishot riven and it has 139% multishot on it and 106% heat. no negative modifier just those two stats.

[@Laevaryl]

@@torunsmok5890 Honestly, I really think it is. Kompressa has pretty bottom of the barrel base damage, so I prefer the flat damage of empowered, especially with a riven that adds heaps of multishot and status.

[@ksNanoSquid]

Using this on the Dual Toxocyst with punch through is pure dopamine. You just aim center-mass on the nearest enemy and the entire room behind him evaporates. It's wild.

[@8bitmemorylane166]

That's exactly the weapon that came to my mind while watching this as well. To be fair tho, Dual Toxocysts with virually any random arcane equipped will still clear entire rooms with ease.

[@JeremyStein1234]

@mo0on12Encumber is better, huh? But why?

[@zeeb2190]

The dude already said it, cuz it let's you do way more damage from the galvanized status mod​@@JeremyStein1234

[@LuminousOriens]

Funnily enough, SC/MS/FR are the exact stats of my dual toxocyst riven

[@xXSonyKilerXx]

But. Why ? ​@mo0on12

[@Bucketus.Lord.of.Buckets]

Use it on Kompressa, and watch it annihilate everything in its way. The thing is insane

[@kinsan89]

Kompressa + Citrine is crazy fun

[@samuelemmert5136]

Even if I don't use it too often nowadays, I will always be fond of Cascadia empowered. It was the first weapon arcane I ever maxed, and I put it on my first non-archgun kuva weapon: the Brakk. It makes the thing pretty great as a SP-caliber single target delete button.

[@Darthmufin]

I just never see the point, i tested weapons that the wiki suggests and cascadia flare still kill enemies faster. The problem is that 750 damage isn't boosted by anything significant really, so when an enemy has 200k effective health 750 reduced to 6 isn't going to do jack. At least on steel path

[@UNGGodYT]

it is not to substitute a meta weapon, but to make status weapons more fun, on regular game it isnt much, but when you get those on duviri circuit where you can have stuff spreading status and kill like a nuke , it is uber fun. i use wth my twin kohmak focused on status multi shoot, with pistoleer and it is super fun.

[@Darthmufin]

But im saying even on a status weapon you get more damage from damage arcanes like flare, the kill rate is faster at least@@UNGGodYT

[@UNGGodYT]

Only info missing is that it can proc the laethum special evolution that increase damage by 2k%, makes super cool on archons.

[@MCGamerCZ]

FIRST!

[@NoisR]

Thats cheating

[@efestus5]

I thank you for this information, I been looking for ways to make the euphona prime work and this sounds perfect

[@KiuhKobold]

Fair Gentleman, I cannot thank you enough for your videos. Not only have they taught me important concepts for Warframe, they made my experience with the game better! Specially the amp building part, eidolons are dropping like flies!

[@blaze3495]

I'm so early, that I can only watch in 360p lol.

[@dizydeus]

That's a lot of plat to watch a video :/

[@pathfindersavant3988]

I unveiled a Pox riven yesterday and immediately thought of you.

[@Glamador]

The problem with this arcane is the opportunity cost. There just aren't many weapons that have low enough base stats and high enough status procs per second to get value out of it. Pox and Kompressa are the only two I have it equipped on. Everything else gets Encumber, Flare, Merciless, etc. because those scale the weapon damage higher than the hard-to-buff flat 750 of Empowered. The real deciding factor, I think, is Radial AoE. Gun CO never works on radial damage and that one mod is where most status monster weapons like Nukor get their strength from.

[@Joe90h]

Bronco Prime Incarnon uses this arcane amazingly. 24 multishot before stacks of Galvanized Diffusion, 144% status chance from 3 60/60s, Galv Shot and Dizzying Rounds, and the last mod opens for finishers within 8 meters.

[@leosklein2573]

The way I built Twin Grakatas, funnily enough, loves this arcane. Because even though the status chance is around 20%, it has a crazy high multishot, a 180 round magazine, and very good riven disposition, so it just brute forces corrosion procs with sheer BRRRRR

[@PoisonJarl71501]

As a player who only plays once or twice a year, it would be nice to see Content creators like yourself do something like a six month update of current good gear weapons, warframes companions, etc. it’s too overwhelming coming back and a lot of things I loved just not being the same

[@darkmugetsu6572]

I would love to see the devs introduce an arcane that is legendary that adds some of the incarnons ricochet ability as a low % chance (probaby 20-25% at max rank) to ricochet within # meters. Could be great for single target weapons in giving them slight aoe capability in exchange for not being able to put on something like merciless for more damage.

[@Tripleyou]

They could add it as a mod and that would be so awesome. Been hoping for that for several years

[@darkmugetsu6572]

nah too powerful to be a mod should be a legendary arcane lol@@Tripleyou

[@gunicorn466]

On the topic of buffing arcane's dmg If Kaliban's skill affects it, then, theoretically, sevagoth's reap buff should work, at least the dmg% buff. I'm not sure about his augment though.

[@Tripleyou]

Yep. Equinox Rage too. And since faction mods work, that implies Roar works too. One of these days I should check if Sentient Wrath stacks additively or multiplicatively with Rage and Reap.

[@s.domain]

This saves kohmak. When weapon does a cloud of numbers it tickles my brain!

[@dnighthawk204241]

I would love to see an archon shard that grants a small piece of cascadia empowered. Something like +200 damage on status effect or +300 on a tauforged. If it stacked with empowered, it would make these niche builds even better, and it encourages building for status more.

[@Chyguy]

If secondary weapons could have two arcanes, this + cucumber would be the meta for any weapon that has high status proc rates i guarantee it

[@SmoothTurtle840]

And that’s why you can’t equip two arcanes lol

[@SOULxxdragon]

It seems like Empowered is overlooked a lot and in the shadow since it's super niche, and it has to compete with Arcanes like Flare, Steel Path Arcanes, or Encumber. However, like you said it really helps with weapons who can't easily use those Arcanes due to either low base damage or lack of ways to proc the other Arcanes. Either way, thank you kindly for the helpful video, really helped show the usefulness of Empowered!

[@theta-rx2]

Hell yeah thanks for doing this!! Now to decide if I run this or secondary encumber on my hystrix prime...

[@thefurrydevil6211]

From my experience Cascadia Flare is WAY stronger than Cascadia Empowered, on the Kuva Nukor. But I also didn't do too much testing with different factions and weapons.

[@theunwanted-soul3646]

Here to remind everyone that qorvex's 4th also makes his 1st chyrinka pillar not only pulse faster but on every pulse all enmies get irradiated and explode . On every pulse, they explode, which then hits others and judt daisy chains infinitely till 1 remain. Caps at 6 per pulse, though it still chains on every enemy in range.

[@SmoothTurtle840]

I think the chaining has a cap of 6 though

[@praneelprasad5042]

A trib fan huh? Good taste

[@theunwanted-soul3646]

​@SmoothTurtle840 not noticed it yet but I'll pay more attention

[@ThePopeOfAwesomeness]

Mines not max rank but it's a fun arcane. The MIGHTY SEER works well with it of course

[@LemurLegiCZ]

Not that Dual Toxocyst needed the help, but it works pretty well with this thanks to the fire rate buff on headshot, been running both C. Empowered and Cucumber set ups and they feel fairly competitive.

[@ryanspruce7447]

I slapped this on my Gaze kitgun that I built with as much status as possible back when Fortuna 69 was news.

[@MrFirsito]

nice

[@Thx4daheadshots]

So i got an idea fellas. Twin Komak. Rams up with fire rate, really hight status, and decent mutishot. I think that another weapon to try out next.

[@gamingbean6440]

I used this on the grimoire set up I run. Works pretty well. Very under-used arcane imho.

[@Tripleyou]

This sounds good on paper. (especially with the aoe strip tome mod) Time to try it out. Thanks for sharing

[@dustyflash]

I am not sure if you revisited the Twin Grakatas recently, but they are basically full auto shotguns that shred Almost anything they are aimed at. In simulacrum the only enemy they couldnt outright delete was the Murmur Worm things . . . on steel path at lvl 195, otherwise everything else (that doesnt have absurd reductions) I tried gets disintegrated, and that was without using any arcanes.

[@Noirshock]

Honey wake up, MCGamerCZ upload a new video!

[@BaeBunni]

Should probably note from my own test. IPS doesn't seem to proc so be careful about using status weapons or trying to use those demios status mods.

[@mayhemivory5730]

What I find interesting a out Cascadia Empowered, is that it is a bad arcane that makes bad weapons good. 750 isn‘t a lot of damage. And if your weapon has enough damage, Secondary Encumber with Galvaniced Shot is just better. But if you have a bad weapon like the Pox, which deals way too little damage, and you add Cascadia Empowered (again, a bad arcane), the mix of both is actually good. Which I find very cool, and I would love if they figure out how to make more things like that, since it avoids making either the weapon or the arcane meta!

[@UNGGodYT]

my status empowered twin kohmak with pistoleer is so fun to play.using on saryn with corrosive dose, venom, puting nourish and make weapon a different combo, procs so much. i made a video using a riven that make damage 0, so only empowered and later galvanized makes damage.

[@dragonoflegend8798]

Kinda wanna try this on My wild Twin Graks setup. It'd be a quick test I usually have the mighty cucumber with Gunditioned Overload and I'm running corrosive slash, but... I kinda wanna see how hard it's gonna hit pure toxin with Empowered and replace Jolt with Hornet Strike I doubt I'll be able to do boss kills with this setup like My main build, but maybe I could. The Acolytes will still be bullied of course lol This is why the "How" and "Why" are so important Love your videos ❤

[@danielanger1805]

I need that qorvex fashion it's soooo good 👍

[@Kilesfactor]

I wish you could use this for primaries, I would use this on the Mutalist Cernos or maybe the Soma Incarnon :)

[@CS0723]

I put empowered on my gas build Laetum. I wanted to amp up the power of my Fart Gun

[@JunkyardGod]

I only have a Rank 1 Cascadia Empowered on my Epitaph, but I got a riven ( Electric,Heat,Cold) haha

[@NinjaSyao]

One word: Kompressa

[@KingMasteron1]

I'm so sad you didn't mention Kompressa; it's CRAZY on that weapon. High status, high multishot, fast fire rate, aoe - it makes the gun crazy, especially with innate Viral

[@UNGGodYT]

only thing i dont like, it takes time to do damage, so direct damage like twin kohmak is better imo.

[@josepablotorresruvalcaba8232]

I have always wondered in what cases does this arcane is good to use or even better than other options, because when looking at the effect does not make you think it is very effective or a worth arcane to run. Because when comparing it to Cascadia flare and having a 480% extra damage, it does not sound so powerfull

[@abdrielsoto2020]

What about the epitaph with this arcane??? Like just a pure primer epitaph with every status you can fit in it and just cascadia empowered to do dmg for you? Wouldn’t that work? And since epitaph applies status on the 8m radius, 10m for the prime, it will still apply the status on the edge on the explosion therefor doing all the dmg from the arcane…. YOOOOOO I NEED TO TRY THIS!

[@FluxRaider2025]

I came to this vid right after seeing this arcane in my epitaph

[@Umbral_25]

Try it with kompressa :) Base viral, mod for corrosive heat

[@DanteorGio]

does epitaph work for every status you apply to a target? because my epitaph applies like 6 different status to targets.

[@cmdraftbrn]

did a nerfed version of the pox build. hehehe. wonder if the hystrix would work

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

Would this be good with the Kuva Brakk despite it being a crit weapon? (Yes Cucumber will probably do better but I don't have it yet)

[@Super787B]

I thought cascadia overcharge was patched for working with primary weapons? Did the fix get reverted?

[@manoflead643]

Wait, does Saryn's forced toxin proc on toxic lash also proc empowered? It counts as weapon damage and all... hm. What secondary does the most hits per second? I assume it's between kuva nukor, and maybe something like twin kohmak for single target?

[@MCGamerCZ]

It does trigger from toxic lash

[@arbit4468]

I'm kinda interested in trying this out with hikou prime and Toxic Lash. Concealed Explosives triggers Toxic Lash, and in a 10m range, further increased by Primed Fulmination. That setup already works pretty well against corpus, with Cascadia Empowered procs it could be ridiculous.

[@manoflead643]

​@@arbit4468 With no falloff on the explosion, too, thanks to empowered's flat damage. Subsume Roar over Miasma because it's basically the only damage buff that works, and o u g h. Funny.
