How do I make my kavat vasca survive?

[Soleyman1]

Title says all, basically, I can't make my kavat vasca tought enough to survive at least 1 minute. I use enchanted vitality, and it has got 1k health but still, it doesn't seem enough?

Link Shields, Link Health, Link Armor

Stasis it.

Its the standard behavior for all pets.

Because health doesn't make it survive. Its the entire collection of stats that make it last longer.

However, it will never outlast your Warframe, or the enemy damage scale that its subjected to.

Except the previously mentioned link mods can give it more health, shields, and armor than your Warframe. I love when my Bella has 12k health from Inaros

... Which depends on the Warframe, but not everyone is going to run Inaros.

So basically vasca is useless?

You could use it as a resser with Transfusion (has 2min CD though) but for everything else it's the same as the other 2 breeds without counting their signature mods

wrong CD

I throw in Pack Leader, then I only have to do some melee to heal my pet back up. But, personally, I prefer Sentinels, then I don't have to pay any attention to them.

eeeh... thats nonsense... 

both of my kavats (Smeeta and Vasca) survivability is good - even on lvl 80-100 Missions... maybe they get down once or twice in a mission but thats it. normally they faster heal than get damaged.

all depends on how you mod them, forma them and which frame you use (normally Wukong, Saryn or Nezha in my case)

As is every sentinel/pet/moa. But threads of this nature step a lot into the preferential sphere of what a player uses or not.

yeah, already add some... but the general answer "Its the standard behavior for all pets" is just wrong.. some player can use them, others not.. like everything in warframe

You’ll want to invest quite a bit of forma for these mods.

Enhanced Vitality won’t cut it. Link Health and Link Armor/Shields, at min. Unless you somehow have a Warframe build with pitiful health (Assimilate Nyx is the only one I know) the Link mods will make your companion able to survive about as roughly as your Warframe can (unless you use DR abilities / Adaptation). This translates just to getting shot and getting shot is bad, but it happens anyways. Kavats are a bit better than Kubrows in avoiding getting shot, but not by much.

I don’t know how good Draining Bite is. I assume it’s bad, I don’t use it. Pet Medi-Kit gets outdamaged in higher level content, but gives your Kavat the ability to be downed for a minute without dying. Useful. Pack Leader requires proactive taking care of your pet, to keep it alive and no safety net for reviving unlike Pet Medi-Kit, but a properly built melee should restore one third to all of your pet’s health in a few swings. Powerful, but active.

Hope this helps. Ignore the “just use Sentinels” spam. Use whatever you want, it’s Warframe.

What Warframe are you using? I personally use Oberon when I want to use a kavat, or sometimes Inaros or Khora.

The trick is to use a Warframe that can help the pet survive.

And using link mods. Base survival stats on companions are too low to be of any use.
