Galvanized Reflex works great on Excalibur and Baruuk exalted weapons, since kills made with the aoe attack don't increase your combo but counts towards building Galvanized stacks, granting you permanent 5x combo which you would hardly get without it.

[@demonman905]

That's an amazing point

[@alexsherzhukov6747]

except Excaliburs heavy attack does not produce energy wave iirc, and Blood Rush / Weeping Wounds can't be used, rendering the combo count kinda useless

I've created an excel sheet that lets you calculate the relative effect of the Steel mods! It's available on Warframe's subreddit, and lets you check which of these two is better for you based on your current setup :) I can guarantee that everything @TheKengineer said in this video is absolutely accurate. At the end of the day, the difference between both mods is tiny, but can be relevant depending on what you have available to you. For example, if you want to build a frame, but lack the Tauforged violet shards, then Galvanized Steel will almost certainly be the superior choice due to its crit damage bonus. Conversely, if you don't have access to Blood Rush yet (or are using a weapon that can't equip it), then odds are Sacrificial Steel would be better.

[@SephDerg]

There are some exceptions like glaive prime where sacrificial steel puts it in the sweetspot for melee duplicate

[@wolfingitdown2047]

woah i just searched for this video and you just posted one about it. unreal timing

[@aggammer3485]

Some details that weren't mentioned in the video: While all the Galvanized mods do apply to pseudo exalted weapons (such as khora's whipclaw) they do not TRIGGER from pseudo exalted kills, meaning that unless you are killing with your melee weapon you do not want to use them on stat sticks Some weapons, such as as tonfas or dual swords (probably more those are just those that i remember) hit twice, meaning that with melee afflictions an existing proc (or one that you proc on the first hit) will get +12 procs, meaning that if you slap some blast on your favourite weapon with guaranteed slash you can cover both single target and aoe, since heavy attack builds generally lack room for status chance Galvanized Elementalist allows you to proc blast way more consistently, especially when hitting groups While Galv Steel is technically better that Sac Steel in most cases (supposing no outside buffs), do consider that typically in heavy attack builds it'll be the only crit chance mod you'll be running and in most cases, getting over or close to 100% crit chance is way more important than getting more powerful crits, a weapon with 20% base crit chance will have 108% final crit chance with sac steel but only 64% with galv steel, meaning that if you are using galv steel you'll have to hit 1/3 more than 1 time, likewise at 30% base crit chance you end up with 162% and 96% final crit chance respectively, in which case you want to use galv steel

[@Voldrim359]

Yes, but galvanized steel also allows you for mele duplicates if your crit chance doesn't go over 100% when you heavy attack, the best use of this is on Glaive Prime and Corufell as i tested it, you have more cases when you have heavy attacks builds, but not for fast attacks or Tennokai builds... I forgot the double dips, i don't know if melee duplicate double dips status procs

[@lunarezlycablood1838]

​@@Voldrim359mostly correct but for Glaive Prime, Sac steel still come out a tad bit on top of Galv Steel if using Melee Duplicate. This is because the duplicate hits will reroll crit chance separately from main hit. Sac Steel put Glaive prime at 118% crit chance which is on a very sweet spot. it has 80% to proc double hit, with the dupe hit having 18% to be orange. where as Galv Steel only put GlaiveP at 70% chance to proc, and 30% chance of dupe hit to not crit at all. ofc if you have a crit chance riven, sac steel will fall out of favor. but if you don't, sac steel generally has a bit more dmg with far more consistency.

[@CrownedLadybug]

I don't know if this is the first time you're running around with a kavat named after Evie but it's the first time I noticed. Had to sit with the video paused about it for a moment (and also prod Rev to look while making big wet eyes at them), it's very sweet Thank you as always for the very clear and informative video! I will no doubt be back for a rewatch eventually when I've got these mods (and have more braincells online). The sober approach that at this level, 10% more or less really isn't all that important is also very appreciated (Also, the touch of shrinking down the image of a mod while talking about it being the weaker option was really nice for my foggy autumn brain to help follow along)

[@mahaok1]

A neat little combo ive been playing with is galva steel and melee duplicate. If you have arcane avenger on your frame the average crit melee weapon will be somewhere in the 100-110% crit chance range which is perfect for the arcane. Essentially lets you get orange crit damage without having to build any combo which is very nice

[@Voldrim359]

I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't realize that the initial combo doesn't immediately regenerate after heavy attack lol (though Focus Energy essentially nullifies that issue for me now on my Glaive). I'd also add that using the Sacrificial set also works well for weapons that *don't* have access to Blood Rush (i.e. Exalted weapons, in my case I use Sevagoth's Shadow Claws for heavy attack spam, and Violet shards are too narrow of a use case for Sevagoth as a whole, I'd rather just use strength shards)

[@73490kanel]

I would strongly disagree with xoris build - if we are not runing any external crit chance, the galvanized steel setup will crit 60% of cases, while sacrificial steel makes it up to nice 100% on detonations. And since it's a xoris we are talking about, if it has enough enemies hit, to +- guaruantee procing crit enough times for higher overall dmg, it will be enough cross multiplication influence procs to kill them with "weaker" crit output of sacrifical build(for example with focus energy replaced with a dedicated crit dmg mod). Meanwhile guaranteeing crit on every enemy hit in 2-3 mob packs gona make a comfortable difference for everyone but the Koumei's player base x)

[@SephDerg]

guaranteed crits are much more useful than stronger crits, there are some exceptions but it really feels like every warframe creator i see is overblowing how good galvanized steel is

[@ghosthero0806]

@@SephDerg especially considering how many melee weapons can get orange crits with just the sacrificial mods, 120% crit damage bonus is not going to make up the difference of a 11x crit multiplier orange crit heavy

[@schoolmonkey13]

I think you're underselling Sacrificial Steel here. From my calculations, pure heavy attack builds, assuming you're using at least Amalgam Organ Shatter for crit damage and don't have significant extra sources of crit chance, Sacrificial Steel wins by like 10-20%, even without Sacrificial Pressure. You make it sound (intentionally or not) that it takes a full set of archon shards to barely push things in favor of Sacrificial, while in reality it only takes Amalgam Organ Shatter. Any *more* crit damage than that pushing things *strongly* in favor of Sacrificial Steel. I think you're also ignoring the strength of using Sacrificial Steel *without* Sacrificial Pressure, which allows you to use either Primed Pressure Point or Condition Overload at your discression, so availability of priming isn't really a point in favor of Galvanized Steel (at least not a strong one). Overall your conclusions pretty much line up with mine, it's just that the language you use makes it seem like Sacrificial is almost never worth it, when in actuality the bar isn't that high for heavy attack builds, *especially* if you're only pulling them out to e.g. smack down acolytes every 5 minutes and not getting kills consistently.

[@SephDerg]

yeah galvanized steel is being overblown as a massive improvement when its really just another option

[@blepomorph419]

Somewhat related for 12x builds: Melee Duplicate is still worth it for weapons under about 30% base CC. Assuming you use Galvanized Steel to replace Organ Shatter in those instances.

[@KhristianBolano]

I have maxed melee duplicate and I don't really know why it gets all the hype. Hitting twice sure is good because other than double damage you also get double status effects, but is it better than orange crits? And most importantly, I feel like Melee Influence is still stronger even on single target damage because of how the status damage works

[@Voldrim359]

​@@KhristianBolano i think it is better than orange since is a double hit with the bonus crit damage, but also is another status proc, that's one benefit that have over orange crits

[@KhristianBolano]

@@Voldrim359 it's true but doesn't melee influence already basically deal double status to the enemy anyway? If you proc Electric while under influence buff you proc it again in 20 meters including the targeted enemy, and it benefits from the same things duplicate benefits from but it can orange and red crit. The influence damage triple dips into Roar because status damage double dips and then applies Roar again on the aoe effect. Status damage double dips for the same principle.. I guess the only theoric advantage of duplicate is being able to not build for combo or at least not for bloodrush, just run Galvanized steel and Arcane Avenger. You should save mod space because you technically don't need combo but nothing is going to give you weeping wounds' status chance which works well with duplicate anyway.. it's complicated

[@Voldrim359]

@@KhristianBolano that's when you are using bane mods that will thrice the damage procs, which, i didn't test it enough with duplicate to confirm since mine is rank 3,i know that melee duplicate is a second hit on yellow crits, i didn't test enough with bane mods if it every hit is also a double dip, and even less with Xata's whisper But i know that it works incredible well on Glaive Prime

[@KhristianBolano]

@@Voldrim359 I just checked, and the faction bonus doesn't seem to have some sort of particular interaction with Duplicate. Without 1.3 faction bonus: 498 damage (duplicate). With 1.3 faction bonus: 647 damage, which is 498 x1.3 = 647. The damage is applied twice of course, it basically acts as melee multishot, but there's no double dip.

@noahedenborg4221 glaives are op but they're just one class of melees among many others I was wondering if the huge status chance increase from weeping wounds could be dropped in favor of something else if you run Galvanized Elementalist, given that massive status chance doesn't translate to damage as much as massive crit chance/damage It's a tricky field, because if you use duplicate then you deal double status effects per hit and that's great if you have tons of status

one thing i would like to add is when you are using a heavy attack melee that can reach 100%(or much closer to 100) crit chance with sac steel and not with galv steel, i do find it more consistent running sac instead of galv, one example would be cerata

[@mathewkahotea3809]

[@aaronscott7467]

The main time I'm seeing where sac steel is better than galvanized is for exalted melees, because you can buff them with a lot of crit damage but you don't have access to blood rush.

I personally would vouch for xoris but better despite lower crit stats as not only as it flies faster (so you can slot in a tennokai mod if your preference), it has better homing and higher base damage on top of status chance. This is more once you get melee influence, but if crit% is necessary then we have other sources for crit chance (e.g. Avenger or Cat's Eye) to make up for it.

For my experience and simple math, Galvanized Steel is to replace Gladiator Might in any builds with Blood Rush and 12x combo, bringing around 10% more damage in crit monster like Dual Keres Prime. For glaives, Sacrificial Steel still better because of averagely low base CR and lack of mod slot for Blood Rush and combo building.

Not particularly and for two different reasons. Glaive Prime *does not* do a guaranteed Blast Proc on Heavy Attack. It does deal Blast damage on Explosion so any Blast procs are purely through normal Status chance of which Glaive Prime has a kinda low Status for Galv Elem to be your only Status Chance source. However, it does a guaranteed Slash Proc though which does benefit form the Status Damage effect *but* because regular Elementalist has Windup Speed that is a much more appreciable feel in gameplay.

[@russmorrow1428]

Putting the galvanized reflex on the okani incarnate works very well.

[@pathfindersavant3988]

Galvanized Reflex is surprisingly good for Sancti Magistar since building combo on that thing is already kind of a pain

[@SeekNeo]

So you're telling me the 40k endo to max sac steel was wasted...

[@ghosthero0806]

no galv steel is getting super overhyped. they're sidegrades in most situations, sacrificial steel is still king of heavy attack builds.

[@SeekNeo]

@@ghosthero0806 not on Kullervo tho, galv is much better

[@azimhaikal7393]

@@SeekNeoIf you're running full tau violet, I assume sac steel will still be better no?

[@joonashannila8751]

You intentionally posted a sub-optimal Xoris build so that anyone can use it?

[@Slayer_OfLight]

Jokes on everyone who told me galvanized steel was a straight downgrade on release. I knew you can easily replace sac. Steel with blood rush, and still keep some more CC and a lot of Crit damage. The thing I found dissapointing is pseudo exalted weapons don't trigger the on-kill effects, so you can't reliably use them with atlas or khora without switching to your melee constantly, which would totally be bonkers

39s late to the upload smh

[@private_el]

Ok

[@АлексейВерещагин-н5ъ]

thanks for reading 3mod descriptions for 11 minutes.

[@darkestcloister]

I'm disappointed they are all triggered on kill. enemies spawns so slow getting stacks is boring. are the devs just really uncreative?

[@ari-mariberry]

i can't imagine how one would ever struggle with sustaining the buffs from galvanized mods unless you're literally playing on a comparatively ancient console

[@darkestcloister]

@@ari-mariberry or you suck at killing?

[@noahedenborg4221]

Oh yeah mean EXACTLY like on the gun galv mods

[@dontassociate]

What a joke these shouldve existed back when aribitration dropped im fed up with de having such short sight with “new” mods

[@mahaok1]

If i remember correctly when arbys dropped we were in a very melee focused meta. Had these mods existed then they would have been stupidly overpowered lol

[@dontassociate]

@ yeah cause inverting the meta every 2 updates is a good practice

[@sunnydlite-t8b]

Write your local politician. Surely he cares about pixels in your video game.

[@ari-mariberry]

​@@dontassociate good job on figuring out how live service games get developed!

[@dontassociate]

@@EllaKarhu how about you make some mods with actually unique uses instead of heres upgraded organ shatter bc the sac mod isnt good enough we need to stack it 4x more and why not make it more op and cost 4 less slots and its usable with normal forma how about you just make every umbral forma on my melee weapons completely useless and now have to override the forma these mods arent new dumbass theyre copy paste from 3 years ago and i said meta flipping is stupid retard you have 0 critical thinking skills if you think what i said is what you typed just keep meta flipping until your players just wanna blow their brains out bc they cant have a decent time to play the game with their preferences but sure its “too op” in a npc slaughterhouse game
