Help with Baza build

[cynferdd]

I may need help for a build.

I was considering investing formas on my baza, since I quite like automatic riffles and it seems to do quite good damage.

As it doesn't have a lot of status chance, I didn't bother with status chance.

 

Here is what I came up with :

• Serration
• Point strike
• Vital sense
• Split chamber
• Hellfire
• Infected clip
• stormbringer
• cryo rounds

it requires 6 formas (4 V and 2 -), but this way I can easily switch the elemental mods to get either :

• blast + corrosive
• gas + magnetic
• radiation + viral

the main downside is that it requires 6 formas, which is quite a lot (I never used any forma so far)

What do you think about it ? is it a good build, and is it a good idea to invest formas on the Baza ?

>4x +90% elementals

Oh me oh my.

Get this:

Focus on Viral (Cold+Toxin) damage, you can slap whatever into the remaining slot (rivens, QoL mod, or just plain more damage).

You could save a bit of forma by using +60/60 mods, bumping up the Status a little - making viral procs more common, enhancing the effectiveness of Hunter Munitions.

Ok Thanks.

 

So something like that would be better ?

• Serration
• Point strike
• Vital sense
• Split chamber
• Rime rounds
• Malignant force
• Hunter munitions
• Hammer shot

On another note : Why would 4 elemental mods be a bad thing? the overall numbers on the builder didn't seem to be that bad. (Genuine question, I'm still quite new to this)

Gas is kinda bad without a high Status Chance, and Magnetic is meh regardless.
Against Corpus, you could e.g. go for pure Toxin (90% + 60%), Shred and Bane Of Corpus (both Primed if possible).

Against anything you'd want to use Corrosive on, Blast is never the best option compared to pure Heat or Cold
(or yet more Corrosive - via 60% dual stats - for more Armor shredding funzies).

I second the Viral (Status) + HunMun suggestions as a good all-rounder build (that'll shred Grineer especially nicely),
10% Status Chance is not useless given the high (accuracy and) Fire Rate so you'll still proc decently often.

It's not necessarily a terrible option, it's more that HunMun is just quite a bit more OP 😛

Ok thanks a lot to you both. That helps me greatly ! 😄

 

I'll first try to get hunter munitions and malignant force, and go for that build 🙂

To add to this, the Baza is so accurate with it's high RoF that Argon Scope works very well with it.

I would use Vigilante Armaments over Hammer Shot. More damage instances is better when using HM+Viral.
