    The main problem with Octavia is if you use a helminth ability, you're potentially removing something integral to her gameplay.

    Augur mods are fairly easy to obtain and are fairly reliable for survivability on caster frames, I'd advice against health tanking on Octavia, considering she doesn't have innate health regen nor high armor.

    Faster shield recharge is very valuable when you're dealing only against stray bullets and such, which is what Octavia will mainly have to deal with. Rolling Guard pairs up very nicely with it, giving you a breather, cleansing any status effects in the process, so it's not the end of the world if you get hit by an eximus fireblast.

     

    Overextended brings alot of range, but the strength loss that comes with it hurts her 3's buffs the most, if you decide to remove it, you can still reach up to 190% range with Stretch, Augur Reach and Cunning Drift (exilus slot), plenty to work with, 19m Mallet gets doubled in a 38m if it's on the 26.6m Amp. It's not so big anymore, but you also don't lose strength, so it's worth something.

    If you chose to go for a Helminth ability and it's in the 4th slot, don't forget Precision Intensify grants 90% ability strength on just that slot. Can be good if you're using Roar or Nourish.

    Red archon shards can grant free stats in the form of duration or strength, depending on your needs, I'm more into duration ones. As for arcanes, if you got your survivability in a good spot already, you could use Molt Augmented for even more strength. I still would advise against health tanking setups, as they would be more costly and not so effective.

    Thank you for taking the time to respond and helping me!

    I agree with her kit but sometimes I just get tired of crouching to turn Invisible for 19 secs the time I currently have before I get archon/Primed continuity and my 4 50% crimson shard duration and still dying to AOE or just random bullets 

    okay maybe when I said I wanted her tankier I explained myself wrong what I really want is a way to just stop dying and having to have my friend revive me when I used all but my last revive 5 minutes into the mission 

    and yeah thank to another responder I’m running fast deflection, quick thinking and I plan to get rolling gaurd soon

    Im not really worried about ability strength with the augmented molt im running I’ll get all the strength I need from that and even if I wanted more strength I would slot in some ability strength shards cause I can get strength from other places beside modes but not so much for Range

     

    honestly I was thinking about nourish but then I realized that I wouldn’t heal with it at least that is what I read if I’m wrong please tell me cause I didn’t think it was a healing move from what other people said but if nourish does heal I will try and remember precision intensify

     

    yeah I lean towards the duration myself and I don’t think I’m trying to do a health tank build on her I just don’t want to say so much

    No need to replace her abilities but I do highly recommend using Quick Thinking or Gladiator Finesse with Octavia as it will help keep you alive.  Not sure where you are in the star chart but if you have access to Archon Shards they can be very practical in providing extra armor so she can take a bullet or two, extra health and/or shields too.  If no Archon shards then try Arcane blessing, Reaper or Guardian to give you a boost to survive tougher missions. Also try the Auger Mods which can provide you with an endless source of shields as Octavia is constantly casting her music to do its thing which in turn provides you with extra shields.   She is a glass cannon no matter what you do but with a few extra tweaks she can be more viable to use.

     HERE is a really cool Forum post from @Buff00n that you can obtain any song you want for your mandachord simply by submitting your request to the Forum post@Buff00n  has a pretty quick turn around and additionally has a huge list of hundreds of current and old songs for you to use with your mandachord to make Octavia more interesting and fun to use, especially if used often. 

    Have a pleasant tomorrow!

    Thank you for taking the time to respond as for where I am in the star chart I just unlocked the steel path and thank you the mod tip I actually didn’t know what it meant I thought it had something to do when you are bleeding out not actually stopping you from reaching that point I will definitely try it out!

     

    And thank you for the link I’m definitely going to have to ask for a song I just have to deicide on which one first

    If i had to choose among those two I'd pick well of life. It's cheaper and protects from status effects as well on top of healing. With augment it can also  be a reliable source of health orbs for such things as equilibrium, arcane blessing, health conversion. But I wouldn't use subsume abilities on octavia in the firs place, tbh.

    And yet shield gating would be the best option outside of missions against infested. And it is very easy for octavia, there is no actual need for catalyzing shields and conversion of used energy into shields.  Just tossing fast deflection into build is enough on its own (though I prefer to add boreal's hatred as well for longer invulnerability window and better efficiency as a bonus)

    Thank you for taking the time to respond and thank you for the advice regarding wellspring I really appreciate.

    also I will try adding on fast redirection to see how it goes if it really is that easy to do shield gating I thought it was a lot harder with people talking about decaying dragon keys and everything

  4. Hey Everyone so I need some advice i love my Octavia but I do wish she was a little bit tankier so i wont die as much... so i was wondering which ability should i give her well of life or Blood Alter?

    I know some people might say that i dont need to replace her abilites as long as i stay invisible or to try shield gating but i still get hit with AOE attacks while invisible or just stray shots and shield gating seems a little bit too complicated for me to get into right now.

    Especially since I don't think i have a free mod space to make catalyzing shield to work without going over my build again and I just dont feel like changing it again right now.

    Any help is appreciated please and thank you

     

    Edit: also I’m sorry I realized after responding to a few responders that I never told what my mod on Octavia where at the original time of me posting this question I had 
     

    Aura mod Energy Siphon I don’t have a different aura to fit in the mod marking thing otherwise I would have Steel Charge for mod space or rejuvenating/Physique for healing/max health

    Exilus is Handspring for faster Knockdown Recovery

    Overextended, Blind Rage, Continuity, Flow, Stretch, Umbral Vitality and Umbral Intensify. And I’m trying to farm vital essence I think it called for rolling gaurd from the arbitration for the invulnerability and removed all status chance

     

    As of right now after few suggestion from some people down below I have deicided to remove the two Umbral Mods and add Fast Deflection for shield gating and Quick Thinking to see how they work ether together or separately 

     

    2nd Edit: sorry I once again forget to mention something and this time it was my arcanes they are

    molt augmented it stacks ability damage all the way up to 250% as long as I don’t die

     

    and my second one is Arcane Gaurdian so if they do break my shields I have a 15% chance to get a flat addition to my armour

    they both are rank 0 right now

    Vaykor Hek is a good long run weapon, not much at MR25-MR30+ where Zakkhar and myself are ... (hi zakkhar ^^).

    Thank you for taking the time to respond and help me!

    So what weapons are viable to use if I ever get up to that Rank?

     

    15 minutes ago, RLanzinger said:

    -With 3 Forma only, it's a good n' versatile weapon for Critical build or status (10% x 7 pellets ~50% to at least 1 status).

    That plus the last quote is good to hear I was starting to think that it wasn’t a good weapon not gonna lie I mean I was still gonna use it but I was starting to have doubts about it

    Spread is usually bad unless you shoot at close range or using MAG / bullet attractor or Phage.

    Huh ok guess I’m checking out MAG, Phage, and the Phantasma later also you do mean the Warframe Mag right and it not something else?

    AFAIR, Reload is per magazine (unlike most shotguns) so go for magazine mods and fire rate is very good.

    -The innate blast+health is a good side effect,

     So until I get the mods for Zakkhar build I should replace Vicious Spread with a fire rate mod and add in a reload one to?

    Shotguns really become miraculous with Mag by shooting on the upper bubble to trigger headshots (that OP with latter zariman's weapons)

     

    So If your style play is more casual with Mag or Aggro+ close range, Go for Vaykor Hek and keep it.

    If not, you may consider Zakkhar as a best advice around ... Steel Path level 🧐...

    Im looking at Mag’s ability’s are you talking about the magnetize bubble cause now that I’m looking that seems really cool looking and I’ll remember to aim near the top for head shots.
    Also yeah I’m gonna say that I’m a casual player I don’t really play it everyday but I do enjoy when I do even with the grinding I had to do for some mods and blueprints. What do you mean by Aggro+ though I assume it a type of play style

    By better weapon I mean pretty much anything that is not a shotgun. Incarnon maybe. Felarx if you are into shotguns so much. Classical pellet shotguns without a gimmick are pretty niche choice nowdays. Because they do not work very well. Cedo is good but it has gimmick, Sobek can be made good but even has even bigger gimmick, Tenet Arca Plasmor is good but it is not a pellet shotgun AND it has a gimmick. Bubonico, Zarr, Phantasma, those are not typical pellet shotguns either.

    Hello thank you again for taking the time to replay to my question!

    That sucks I love shotguns so to learn that their not that good kinda sucks but I will check out the felarx when it unlocked.

    I’m stuck grinding for the necramech right now for the new war quest

    I do not mean it is not good. I mean that there are better mods to use if you are playing formaless/potatoless. You want mods that increase your damage always, not give you a chance to increase it by a lower margin than rifles (Rifles Vital Sense adds 120% cd, compare to normal Ravage 60%).

    When Baro sell the prime Ravaged mod (or if I can buy it by selling syndicate mods for plat first) I’ll get it I just don’t have it right now

    You should not bother with doing any builds on a weapon that is just mastery fodder, because that would require (wasted) catalyst and forma investment. I assume you already slapped Catalyst on it. If you want to see how a build looks like if you have everything and infinite resources to use it would be something like this (it is actually both crit and status)

    I was actually going to make it my main gun unless the kuva Hek proves to be that much better. yeah your correct I already used a catalyst on it along with 2 form. And thank for the link I’ll definitely try to build it like that I really appreciate it

    also I didn’t quote the bottom of the messege cause of how long it is but 1st: yeah that is a bud difference compared to the others.

    2nd: huh I thought the Hek gun family marrow spread would diminish the accuracy penalty some and I’m going to check out the phantasma now cause I did enjoy the ignis and ignis wraiths quite a bit.

    3rd:thanks for explaining that to me I’ve never really thought about diminishing returns before so I’ll try to keep it in mind now when I put mods on my weapons

  7. 14 minutes ago, Zakkhar said:

    I wouldnt invest Forma or Catalyst into this weapon if I were you (unless you plan to never get anything better). Just put anything that fits: %dmg, multishot, crit chance, crit damage.

    PPB is good, Blaze is ok. VIcious spread is not good. Critical deceleration is fine although because of how low budget Ravage is crit scaling is not best. As for charged shell, I would stick to 1 basic element for now. Heat is great all around (from Blaze), Electricity is kinda meh at your stage, Toxin is great vs Corpus but pretty average vs everything else, Cold is pretty good vs everything. If you slap Charged shell+Blaze you will get Radiation, that is used mostly for bosses and current Hub faction called Murmur (spoilers).

    Hey thank you for taking the time to help as for not getting a better weapon I was planning on getting the kuva Hek later but it requires a MR of 15 and I just got to 12 myself. So regarding the mods you said that a crit build is not good because of Ravage scaling does that mean I need to switch to a status build to make it better? Also why is Vicious Spread not good?

     

  8. Hey everyone so I just recently my Vaykor Hek recently and wanted to see if I could do anything else to improve it as of right now I have Primed Point Blank, Blaze, Vicious Spread, the Multishot mod, Critical Deceleration, Charged Shell, and Vigilante Armaments on it at this time plus I plan to add Ravage once I finish building another Forma or two any help or advice is appreciated thank you

    This barter is unlikely to ever happen.

    What you should do it capitalise on the fact we got currenncy.

    1. Go to warframe.market
    2. find a steel meridian mod that is most sought after (highest price/turnout) - Excal, Frost, Nezha, Nova, Xaku all the augumenent from the same side and need to be obtained on the market if someone is doing Perrin/Lokka/Veil side.
    3. buy it from syndicate
    4. make a sell offer that is undercutting the current lowest offer (unless it is already too low - check 90day statistics) All thouse the prices are pretty consistent within 13-20 range for most auguments.
    5. you should sell it pretty fast - obtain plat
    6. find the mallet mod on the market
    7. buy it for the plat you just earned

    Thanks for the advice I’ll try it out!

    Probably easier to trade for the Blueprints.  I'm online and can give 6 of them to you so you have 4 spares for anyone else you know. 
    I have been corrected.  Then I'm happy for you to join my clan for a couple days to grab what you want.  Open offor to your friend as well when he's the right mastery for it assuming the MR is needed to replicate.

    If you don’t mind that would be wonderful and while I appreciate the offer to grab all the blueprints (if that’s what you meant) I really just want to grab the ignis wraith (and I don’t have a lot of credits right now (steel meridian rank 5 cost me most of it plus upgrading a couple of mods got me down to 37,000 credits) so I can’t even if I wanted to) causing with time and materials we can research the others in case any of our friends deicide to play with us (which I doubt but fingers cross) except Ignis Wraith cause it is locked behind the need to upgrade our clan rank and I have no idea if that’s possible with only two people nor how long that might take

  11. Hey so I’m a solo player even built my own dojo and everything so I can research weapons and recently I’ve been trying to raise my master rank ( I’m at MR10 now) with a friend of mine who just started playing like two or three weeks ago and that involves using a lot of weapons as everyone knows so I eventually started using the ignis and I fell in love with it and I wanted to try out the wraith version but I need a clan at rank10 I think to be able to build it so I was thinking that I could make my friend the founding warlord and leave and join the clan of someone that does have the ignis wraith researched and wouldn’t mind if I left after I got it with there permission of course cause I think I read somewhere that it’s rude to just join a clan and leave after using there research station so I figured I ask first and this way I won’t have to rank my clan up to rank10 if someone said yes

    I'll be on, though probably not available right away.

    That's fine take your time.

  13. 5 hours ago, Tiltskillet said:

    I can give you most of those mods if we're both on at the same time, no trade necessary.  The only one I know I don't have a spare of is Shrapnel Rounds.

    When you're back online again just let me know.

    Hey sorry for the late reply I went to bed not long after I posted.
