Warframe | Infinite Damage Got Even More Infinite? | Kullervo | Steel Path | 2023

[@kyaii]

Hey guys! So, just to give some more thoughts I didn't put in the video... The electric mod on Balla is *not* needed and if I'm being honest, probably better filled with berserker fury so you can open up an Arcane slot for another buff! Will you be able to tell a difference? No, but just wanted to point that out! Hope yall enjoyed!

[@caladur2092]

Vulcax as well as Vulklok can get over the 50% mark, if someone wants a second option.

[@unknownmist9640]

So i tried this build using Zephyr and the Rakta Dark Dagger instead, Same build for all the weapons, Zeph focusing on range and duration... one melee attack on the Tornadoes pretty much instantly armor strips and kills enemies inside - its insane. Great build btw! Kullervo is such a fun frame to play

yea i covered her in my original amalgam argonak video

[@vonrelevanz1963]

Yep, Kullervo is the incarnation of power creep. At some point I stopped adding multipliers, as everything already dies to him.

Got a Gram Prime with 131% chritchance and 7.1 crit multiplier. And I still couldn’t one shot an archon

[@nucleatomic]

sounds like a skill issue

[@mathieuaurousseau100]

Note: gas+Kullerervo is "only" cubic scaling, as you're replicating gas's quadratic scaling (x²) on every ennemis (*x) If collective curse copied status procs it would be quartric scaling Same thing with Exodia Force, Collective Curse is only applied once here Two things to consider are that Exodia Force scales with Pressure Point but not with Condition Overload and that when using a hitscan AOE on a ragdoll enemies you get a damage multiplier for each limb the ennemi have, typically at least 6. (Gas, electricity and I THINK Exodia Force are hitscan AOE) So there may still be way to upgrade this build

[@timelord6259]

[@joyce_rx]

btw if any of you are worried about missing out on damage by using karyst prime or any non-zaw dagger without exodia force, dont worry. exodia force with gas + armor strip + collective curse is the most overkill thing in the game. without exodia force, it scales to level cap easily

[@freshoranges27]

overkill? yes. is it gonna stop me from doing it anyway? hell no.

[@John7Wirth]

Came back to check this, and yeah - love it! This is THE peak Kullervo build/playstyle. Add in melee influence arcane novadays and it increases the potential insta-kill radius of the gas clouds.

[@L1amba]

This build is crazy and all, but I’m starting to think, to an extent, damage isn’t really what matters. Seems like basing the power of builds on their kpm might make more sense since if i can do 2b damage to enemies but only kill 20 per minute it doesn’t matter. If a build can kill 100 enemies a minute and not fall off at later levels that should be what matters. Again though, this build is crazy and I’m sure it took a lot of effort to make, just putting that idea out there.

[@kyaii]

Is this setup as fast as just spamming curse and heavy attacking? No it isn't but thats also not the philosophy behind it. The entire goal is to create possibly the most insanely powerful damage build in the game, and I think I have done that. Other setups like my Khora do what you seem to be outlining!

[@L1amba]

@@kyaiiyeah i see what you’re getting at. Ive been using your khora build since the video released and she makes sp a cakewalk along with gauss (who you should make a video on, his 3 is busted with archon vit).

[@L1amba]

Also love how active you are in the comments here, thanks for all your builds lol

[@excaligaming2435]

well, this is the weird limbo warframe hangs in for quite a while now. We only have two "viable" endurance modes, being disruption and void cascade, where the goal and requirements are very different, mostly specializing in taking down very tanky single units (demolysts and thrax). Any "horde" killing game mode scales so slow, damage is at current powercreep levels really irrelevant and anything that can speed up spawns and kills is heavily favored (->Speed nova), since most meta weapons wipe rooms til ~1k on their own and that is already very very long into a survival mission. Obviously, the KPM requirement drops rapidly with every loot mechanic frame present. So, currently, it's definitely a problem with mission/game design, holding back builds like this in terms of "usefulness". We need faster scaling and rewarding horde modes or the next SP level (starting enemy lvl at 800-1000ish) to finally enjoy and use builds like this.

[@L1amba]

@@excaligaming2435i 100% agree, i vaguely remember a few years ago when there was an alert with a mission that started at 9999, and i found it fun trying to do as much damage as possible even with how limited builds were back then. Took a while just to kill a single enemy

[@andyh2783]

[@AhamkaraMommy]

I KNEW Zaws were being slept on with this, I have been using a Zaw with Zodia Brave to get energy back.

[@tiltskillet7085]

I've done the Kullervo thing, the Gas Argonak thing, and the Exodia Force thing. And I've done some combinations. But I hadn't thought of putting all three together. This is hilarious stuff! Playing with it a bit, I came to the same conclusion as I did when Exodia Force was broken: It's so over the top with my crit zaw, I don't know that I need to make a status version.

[@kyaii]

for any frame not using wrathful advance you want a hybrid zaw but for kullervo specifically, status is the way to go

[@canaxican5328]

The thumbnail is the best description of kullervo I have ever seen

[@elise-3198]

For the Kullervo build, I was having trouble with energy without Arcane Energize, so instead replaced energize with Molt Augmented, Streamline with Equilibrium, Blind Rage with Augur Secrets and Zenurik with Madurai. This gives much better energy economy while also getting slightly higher strength, as long as you've stacked Molt Augmented and are keeping up Sling Strength.

This is amazing. Although I still do think the ol' "feature" like a year ago w/ a certain xata's whisper + chroma was goofier.

[@ArtemSayapov]

I think it's cubic scaling (20^2 from statuses, *20 from his skill, so 20^3)

just collective curse damage redirection is quadratic when talking about statuses and the armor strip is gets a hell of a lot more complicated

Have you guys tried using the fragor prime with kullervo? Your bar to the right stays on 3 infinity and you can one shot everything in the game with a heavy attack

[@kyaii]

with tennokyaii existing alongside the perma 12x heavies, can be used on better melees than fragor

[@peddypeoples941]

The only problem Kullervo has is not surviving the mob levels he could oneshot. I can easily -2 billion a small room of mobs but overguard gets eaten real fast (adaptation/armor doesnt work). Khora for example can survive through shield gate and has the cc to outlast, but 30-40k overguard is a wet paper.

why use constitution? stretch is better if you need more ability range and to save more mod slots.

It will proc cold regardless of what element you add in anyways.

Hey Kyaii, is there a way to catalogue all of the builds that reach/has the potential to reach infinite damage? I wanted to set out on this endeavour, but I don't play warframe enough, and opening overframe makes my head spin. I appreciate all the builds, but with warframe's history on KZbin, there doesn't seem to be a catalogue of higher kpm builds, or infinite damage scaling builds that, even though not necessary, could make for a more fun experience, in exchange for a little more grind? Or, if there's a collection of above average builds that are relevant in the current update, I'd love to be directed in the general direction of it

[@kyaii]

To my knowledge there isn't but there are plenty of them on KZbin, look around!

[@senpafl4405]

Kullervo suffers from the same fate as Banshee for me, both frames really show how good they would be in higher levels, when crunching those numbers become important. But on the high levels, they simply lack any reliable survivability option.

[@jacobhertl1398]

Kullervo is my tankiest frame. Use armor and health mods with adaptation. Then use life strike on your melee as long as you are using his 1st ability or heavy attacking you will basically be invincible. I also use rage on him so i have pretty much infinite energy. I replaced his 2 with an armor strip ability and you should be able to handle lvl500+ with a decent melee

[@adrianfajardoperez8162]

Haha you miss the changes of kullervo's overguard

[@senpafl4405]

@@botao4456 That's what I meant with higher levels. There are so many damage options that melt regular Steel Path, but Kullervo's ridiculous damage would become really interesting in 4 digit levels, when many other options just fall flat. But there he has only his 0.5 second overguard gating, which means you're either so busy spamming his two that you can't do anything else, or you die. Armor and health are useless if you play a little beyond regular Steel Path. And he has no regular shield gating that would give him that 1.3 second extra that he needs. If he can't apply his million digits to someone who needs million because he can't handle their damage, then what is his purpose? Memes? I don't give a damn about numbers for the sake of numbers, I want results, and he doesn't bring me those the same way other frames do
