Hello dear Tennos,

I got 3 builds and A) cant distinguish which one is best and B) Can't decide which mod to exchange for a Riven and C) don't know what best to roll for the Riven to fit in the build perfectly.

I would say the 3rd build with Weeping Wounds is the best one. With increased status from WW you will proc Viral and Slash more consistantly and profit more from CO in the end. That's mainly the problem with the 1st build you preseneted, as it just doesn't have enough status. Requires some wind up though.

I would not use that specific Riven, 70% damage is not worth it.
Maybe it could work out if you replace regular elemental mods with 60/60 to boost status chacne, then you could put that Riven in place of WW. Another route would be: you forfeit Viral and install Riven and maybe P.Reach or more crit damage in place of elementals?

That depends on the build you want to use.

Hi ShortCat,

I still have like 100k kuva left.

Lets see what I can get.

3rd one, but replace North Wind with 60/60 electricity or gas. Corrosive may be better against high level armored target but gas should make better use of the Riven and works better if you have external source of armor reduction. >

Edit : the riven is not that good and I would recommand rerolling until you get something with combo duration and other useful stats to replace drifting contact or electricity/heat to get elemental combo with using only one slot.

So what would be a perfect roll for the Riven?

Status Chance x%

Damage x %

Range x % / Critical Chance x% / Slash x% 

???

I'd look for a Dmg/crit.dmg/poison riven so it may save you one slot to get that viral, corrosive or gas. I'd also use sacrifical steel along with primed pressure point to get max damages and quite a decent amount of critical. Nikana prime isn't a good candidate for status and thus would be better at dealing crits.

Try to get rid of drifting contact and get the new aura (6s combo duration), i'd also only use 60/60 element mods to be sure viral or any other element is applied in no time. Orange and red crits is what you need with such weapon, thus Adarza kavat or even Helios prime/deconstructor prime with gladiator mods can be quite useful.

Low Riven dispo, only 2+0. Not worth using the riven.

What new aura mod do you mean? The new one that I can recall subtracts 6s combo from you but gives 12 to teammates..
