Wayfinder Venomess Leveling Build Guide - High Critical Build

[@CalebWarta]

Did some testing while editing can confirm you want to use either Longshot or Nightshade. Tempest is too slow for Venomess to be effective at stacking venom.

[@tzanax]

Tempest stacks a venom per pellet. You can cause a poison cloud with one shot from close range or two from mid range. Also you can abuse it's hotspot reload buff by shooting once, hitting reload and holding for 3 shots. The weapon is objectively broken strong and I hate it. Problem is Nightshade is only available for $90 right now.

[@CalebWarta]

I might revisit tempest once I get the 15 point ability, I’m curious to to find out how abusing the reload mechanic will effect this build since the crit buff is based on the amount of ammo reloaded.

[@MeSiah1S]

​@CalebWarta whats a 15 point ability?

[@CalebWarta]

@MeSiah1S the Crit one I believe focus

[@CalebWarta]

@MeSiah1S ooooh sorry I didn’t read that right when I woke up haha. Check my video on affinity it will explain it better than I can in text!

[@TheSymphonic_Rogue_Elite]

Thank you I’ll definitely do that

[@Noise_fm]

Great vid very imformative , imtrying to decide on my main are you planning on doing a kyros build vid its the two wayfinders im torn between , any help on picking one would be awsum aswell lol

[@CalebWarta]

I’m working on Wingrave, Kyros at the moment but honestly Ven is #1 after the bug fix for Kyros

[@m__zombi]

Really appreciate the is. I love Venomess so this guides been really helpful

[@CalebWarta]

Thank you! I’m glad it helped!

[@TemMonke]

Amazing video, thanks for your help

[@CalebWarta]

Thank you for your comment! Glad you found it useful!

[@CasualPlayer4099]

Amazing video guide. Thx. Hey quick question here: where can the Kalar be farm?

[@CalebWarta]

The crit effect echo? That’s off the beast master boss fight it’s a late story fight.

[@MaddestMadHatter]

Keep up the great work bruh

[@CalebWarta]

Thank you man!

[@MaddestMadHatter]

You know it!

[@FVWolf100]

Venomess can craft by getting part from battlepass tower thing, one on each tower level, nightshade is not crafteable yet, as essence part comes from wormwood, which isnt in game yet, supposedly being added with content update in two weeks. Think people who have it either got it from beta tests, or test versions of the game given to streamers, didnt see it listed in the max ugrade version.

[@CalebWarta]

Nothing from beta or test carried over, the signature weapons are part of the premium pass so 90-150 tier at the moment. Unless you can buy rewards tower upgrades? But I would check the GD fight as senja drops there but should be wormwood as well.

[@FVWolf100]

Ah k, thanks, will try gd runs n see.

[@CalebWarta]

@@FVWolf100 I’m going to farm it some but for the artifact I’ll let you know! One of the guild members on discord farmed him for 8+ hours so I’ll have them check if they got the drop or not.

[@FVWolf100]

thankyou, UK time so was Zzzz, not sure how to register for reply, so will check back here periodically.

[@CalebWarta]

@@FVWolf100 oh no worries haha, UK is actually a good chunk of my subscriber base lol

[@TheTugger50]

where did you find your accessories at? been farming all over and cant find them

[@CalebWarta]

Working on an updated melee version of the build I would craft the revers gauntlet and farm the bone doll from the snow areas. That’s a good 2 piece bonus and slap a third high weapon power or high crit power accessory on.

[@wilazn]

Tempest attacks fast with the Hotspot reload. Pretty much reload acatwe every 3 shots and the buff stays up.

[@CalebWarta]

Problem with is in this build is you sacrifice crit chance doing it. I’ve got to test it more to figure out if it’s worth the trade off.

[@professorofdieology4002]

Thanks for the info as always Caleb!

[@CalebWarta]

Any time!

[@Diduszek]

can you make also any ideas for melee venomess build

[@CalebWarta]

What type of melee if you have a preference

[@Diduszek]

Daggers or maybe epitaph(scythe)

[@CalebWarta]

@Diduszek I’ll mess with daggers I wouldn’t run scythe with her since that’s an AP weapon and I don’t think venomess is good with AP builds

[@Diduszek]

doesn't she scale with AP? or maybe im missing something and only her heal scale with it

[@Noddy-Gaming]

she scales heavily with ap, her healing and all her damage and even the DoT passive poison clouds scale off AP, I think OP just doesnt like AP@@Diduszek

[@ironfist6762]

Can u make a video for niss please

[@CalebWarta]

Working on that one!

[@ironfist6762]

@@CalebWarta ok thanks can't wait to watch all the builds videos they really helps me

[@PrimeAlphaMorph]

Yo brotha your video has the last 5 minutes is blank

[@CalebWarta]

I’ll fix that! Damn export error!

[@CalebWarta]

KZbin is processing the changes now! Thank you! I use a buffer at the edit for editing clips and forgot to trim it before the export :( Sloppy mistake from taking a bit of time off from making content while I waited for early access to start haha!

[@CdoubleG]

0:55 after that? do you know something we dont about resetting affinity's?

[@Noddy-Gaming]

what do you mean? he says put 5 in all (which is correct) then pick one of the 2 better options to max to 15

[@Shiraion]

Actually you can put 15+9+5 since you have 29.

[@Noddy-Gaming]

@@Shiraion yes, 9 does not matter and unlocks nothing, I think myself and the op would think that is self explanatory to use up your leftover points.

[@CalebWarta]

Yes the actual way I would do it is 5,9,15 because the middle one gives Crit power. I didn’t didn’t lay I out every point to give the user flexibility if they wanted more defensive stats

[@JasonDHLJ]

Is there a way to get back to gloom zone ?

[@CalebWarta]

Which gloom zone are you talking about? What are you trying to do in that zone maybe I can help with the objective you’re trying to achieve.

[@JasonDHLJ]

@@CalebWarta the first zone when the player meet Omen

[@CalebWarta]

@JasonDHLJ like the zone where you try all 3 wayfinders out before picking?

[@TheAWDKilJoy]

I know this is a leveling build but man you echos are bad. Ap should definitely be a higher priority them crit power. It should be abilty power, wep power, crit rating, then crit power. I argue phys/mag defense over crit power including health. Following this build will not be very helpful later on.

[@TheSymphonic_Rogue_Elite]

What are the echos that u are using

[@CalebWarta]

I’m not sure if you can stack them the same way now. But you want to focus on anything with crit power

[@CalebWarta]

I’ll try to get some updated stuff out soon

[@TheSymphonic_Rogue_Elite]

Also I was wondering where I can find the codex

[@EntitleWolf]

Nightshade is unlocked?

[@CalebWarta]

If you have the premium rewards tower it comes with venomess. I’m not sure if it can be crafted yet though but it isn’t in the cash shop.

[@CalebWarta]

I would recommend the long short over the tempest for venomess though if you don’t have access to Nightshade.

[@EntitleWolf]

@@CalebWarta Thank you for the information. Then I should go get the longshot first.

[@CalebWarta]

@kevincheng7220 I would recommend Longshot honestly it will out damage Nightshade in most cases. Tempest is pretty garage on Venomess though since the Venom stacks so slow with it and you can’t empty the clip within the time window that you have the crit bonus from reloading.

[@merryexmus]

you can craft nightshade1
