Warframe - Melee Afflictions, explained: Broken beyond imagination. | 001

[@amolistic_]

Hope you all really enjoy this video, and the opening series of ["Explained" | by Amolistic.] ! I spend tons of time making this video, and it is seriously challenging to document nearly all the perks of this arcane, to properly showcase the true potential of this arcane. If you really like what I do, feel free to like and sub, any kinds of support is greatly appreciated :) ***If there is anything you would like to point out or correct me on something, feel free to comment, will try my best to fit into this pinned comment.*** Note 1: from @TiredDoktor6391 - Melee afflictions takes that damage value of all your procs (existing or applying), multiplies them by their remaining status duration and combines them. Then it will take that number and devided it by the status duration, then applies this proc 6 times. Note 2: from @Karmagasm - (with slight change) if melee attack is a forced form of ragdoll/knockdown, melee affliction will still apply the extra stacks even if the target didn't get the animations to indicate that it was afflicted by those conditionals, ie it still works against overguarded eximus units/demolists/acolytes.

Hello this is an awesome guide on the new melee arcane thank you for your hard work and research. This does now make me ask how this arcane interact with atlas' 1st? Anyway hope you have a wonderful day

My favorite is Sampotes as it does fling +fling + fling. It breaks the game and leaves enemy corpses floating in the air. Edit: Plus saryn toxin lash for millions of damage without roar or any other buff.

It takes courage to produce content in a language that you are still perfecting, you have very good information and pacing, thank you for showing me the true potential of this arcane!!

[@amolistic_]

Thanks for the words of encouragement, glad you learned something new from this video :)

[@TiredDoktor6391]

One thing that might answer your questions Melee afflictions takes that damage value of all your procs (existing or applying), multiplies them by their remaining status duration and combines them. Then it will take that number and devided it by the status duration, then applies this proc 6 times. This should explain why it will have exponential scaling beacuse everytime it triggers, it does this to all the procs.

[@devar7502]

Is this affected by status duration mods? God, I'm testing this *Edit: For a second I thought there was a negative status duration

[@dustinrichardson6533]

@@devar7502 you can get -status duration on rivens; the wiki says that a negative status duration won't apply their DoT/debuff at all, so that probably won't work. Without doing any testing, the farthest you can push this would be getting -99% status duration and using it to dupe electricity procs(which deal a tick of damage when they're applied, instead of having to wait for the next status tick to deal damage). Provided TierdDoktor's formula is accurate, with just the continuous misery mod (+100% status duration to rifles) and no rifle riven, you're looking at 12(6 second duration doubled by continuous misery)/.06(status duration of the melee with -99% status dur)=200x the damage of the base electricity tick. This assumes that the status is still at full duration, which is perhaps a bit impractical, but a more realistic 90% efficiency still allows you to hit 180x the base proc's damage. This won't work with heat as it doesn't deal damage on tick 0(the tick that the status is applied) so with heat, you'd need at least 1s of duration on your melee limiting just how high you can push the numbers. Also, if you theoretically hit the jackpot on a riven that gave -99.99% status duration (provided a duration so low isn't just truncated to flat 0), you'd be dealing 18,000 times the damage of the original proc. I'd like to stress that I have not tested this in game, so all of this could be completely wrong or just impossible to achieve due to something I didn't account for, but if anyone wishes to do some testing, best of luck!

[@alex140i3]

doesn't voruna's 2 work the same way with its status spreading?

[@KhristianBolano]

Roar also double dips on DoT effects since it's faction damage. So everytime the arcane applies, the double dip seems to be transfered as well, and since it's a new status effect then the faction damage mod will apply again. That's how I understand it, because it's the only way something can actually scale infinitely. You don't even need Roar or being Rhino basically, you need strong status effects from any weapon (even the melee itself will do) and a faction mod.

[@shadamethyst1258]

Wow, that's an incredibly detailed explanation, thank you!

[@amolistic_]

thanks :)

[@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT]

As cool as this is it’s hard to top influence for me with its rift piercing tech.

[@amolistic_]

Yeah, that's honestly understandable; anything that can pass through rift is just gamebreakingly powerful, regardless of the damage it provides.

[@MythicqI]

wait its WHAT? influence can do WHAT??

[@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT]

@@MythicqI ye

[@Karmagasm]

It should be noted that if your melee attack is a *forced* form of lifted/ragdoll/knockdown melee affliction will still apply the extra stacks even if the target didn't get the animations to indicate that it was afflicted by those conditionals, ie it still works against overguarded eximus units.

[@amolistic_]

Ye, I accidentally found it out as well after this video (doing testing), lifted afaik does not work but ragdoll and knockdowns work.

[@chilX3467]

Arcane afflictions made gram prime great again. I've been testing melee afflictions with gram prime using a gas crit status build and it was killing level 200+ SP corrupted enemies with ease. I've found out the best stance for this build was rending crane standing combo since the combo only has 2 inputs with a guaranteed knockdown, it's fast, has a high damage multiplier, and doesn't throw you forward like other heavy blade combos

[@fran11390]

new amolistic video dropped, and its 15 minutes long? god damn son we bout to learn a lot aren't we thanks in advance for explaining this arcane, cause its description sounds very unimpressive to a pleb like me

[@gabrielsalinas4386]

Tenet Exec shockwaves can proc the arcane multiple times (force ragdoll) on a single slam. It's insane. Only problem is that the waves cannot proc status by themselves. Works great on a hybrid build with Tennokai, and as hyper Sickening Pulse for some warframe elemental abilities.

[@vitae1342]

Can lavos aug proc forced status on waves?

[@gabrielsalinas4386]

​@@vitae1342 most likely yes, might be busted

[@bartoszmoczkowski3225]

Exec with saryn 3 and this arcane is so stupidly op. I was able to one-shot steel path enemies without any additional mods on the exec

[@Josephkerr101]

12:07 "just look at this ramping speed. Holy s**t!" XD that had me laughing.

[@freedisappointment815]

Rhino some how became one of the best melee warframe because of those arcane and un-nerf roar. Even some frame intent to focus on melee are not as good as Rhino. Yeah, that is Rhino. Like everything work on him.

[@MAGAPARIS]

Good work good flow and narration love the little camera angle moves , keep going see you at the top

[@Johnny_no_smiles]

This and voruna is absolutely insane.

[@chetasaur]

hell yeah, i have been having so much fun with this arcane on the harmony and reaping spiral stance!

[@anthall1768]

Melee Affliction Harmony Heavy Attack with Yareli Sea Snares and Aquablade's Slash procs makes enemies evaporate. The procs from the abilities plus Harmony's innate Heat. Even though Sea Snares isn't procing Melee Afflication, Harmony is still "ragdolling" the target. Fun to watch.

[@amolistic_]

Yes, because it carries over the damage dealt, including the slash proc from aquablades as well, like what I mentioned in the video. I am glad that you are entertained by the result you get. *Ragdoll and knockdown seems to work at all times, regardless of it being applied or not.

[@Kiribandit]

Ive been thinking about getting this arcane, it looks rather powerful in status builds

[@HO1ySh33t]

this really made slam meta even more broken than it already is.

[@devar7502]

I like to call this the "Status Potential Energy"

[@Benzinilinguine]

I really hope they clarify the effect instead of...changing it...

[@igamuramasa8876]

Congratulations on the video great content of explanation.

[@OggerFN]

Melee Duplicate the rarest (until jade shadows) melee arcane is also arguably the worst as it "only" doubles your damage when dealing specifically a yellow crit. While we have absolutely broken arcanes like influence and now this

[@amolistic_]

The double hit can apply orange crits as well, thus you want to yellow crit and that hit to orange crit for max damage, some calculated that the best threshold for it is around the near-middle of 130-150% crit.

[@nguyenhuyduc9151]

The problem is when i need it to shine, it dont! It happen with demolish and other boss

[@amolistic_]

From what I heard after this video, forced knockdowns seem to have a bug where it will just work even though they can't be knockdown'd.

[@nguyenhuyduc9151]

@@amolistic_ nice information. Because if i really want my melee do the hardjob, it will be demolish! Demolish before just armor strip and spam spam in one second( burston, toxocyst). And yes, heavy slam is still meta and got buff more and more after dante update. But it is boring as hell

[@yokeekee]

quality of content and information are really good. i appreciated. but what the point of this arcane when we can do just 1 slam kill everything ?
