Hi, havent played since 2019, looking for meta builds.

[ForsakenCrusader]

hi, havent played this game in years like 2019 was the last time i played, are there anyone who can help me with meta builds for some of my fav frames like ember, nidus,wisp,saryn and nova?

check Overframe.

AoE > Single Target is pretty much the only "meta" thanks to SP x10 enemy density.

Since the status system and enemy scaling changes. Nothing else matters all that much.

Some of the people here believe you can mod anything against levelcap enemies, but don't worry, the gas company has been notified and the leak will be fixed eventually.

The meta right now is incarnon weapons, most will do fine, namely the ones from the zariman itself, though the melees aren't as strong as the guns.

Revenant is the new wukong right now in terms of a brainless buff tank, he likely will be nerfed down the road once the equip rates ramp up, but Grendel was buffed, hydroid, baruuk got a prime, many many more frames are viable as damage dealers thanks to the helminth upgrades.

Could you elaborate? Is DE aware of the levelcap builds and are planning on nerfing them?

It was a joke about some people in another couple of threads giving bad advice regarding what can be taken into levelcap enemies, but no, the only nerfs currently on the horizon are for nourish and eclipse subsubmes, because DE (seemingly) balances solely around equip rates. 

Hence why once revenant's numbers get high enough, he also may be nerfed.

Overframe is outdated. Overframe will tell you Nukor is S tier, but not Furis (Incarnon) or Lex Prime (Incarnon) that just walk through Steel Path with zero buffs outside of the weapon loadout screen. Acceltra Prime is "S tier", while the broken af Burston Prime (Incarnon) is B tier.

In the 3 hours since you've posted this thread you could have watched a dozen build videos on youtube for whatever frames you wanted. There are people out there with the information you're looking for and they share it freely. You just have to click on the video and watch it.

Not really since I don't play either of them. But I do know if meta is all you care about, there's really no reason to play Ember in the first place (anymore).

For Saryn, you should probably search for a "nuke build", and "steel path endurance build" separately.

So yeah, essentially what the dude above said.

I think most players are just too lazy to math anymore so they just proclaim invulnerable windows as level cap.

The level cap was beaten via old enemy Defense scaling back in 2015-2016. Offense cap was beaten not long after with 1.4 billion eHP.

In the right group. Nearly everything level caps. Esp now that you only really need one good damage amp in the party.

Meta builds are overrated. 

[Aruquae]

The best meta is the “you” meta. Which is the gear you want to play vs playing it just because it works best

Which means you the you meta can technically be what’s meta right now, you just need to enjoy playing it.

So the question stands, do you want to use the meta because you enjoy it? Or are you just using it because you heard it’s the “best” option?

we got these things called archon sharda now, and the green ones can increase the Corrosive proc cap to 10. Easy armor stripping with Spores. 

As for ember... not really sure, though I think a breach surge build will work nicely on her

There's no overall meta, but there are specific metas (e.g. optimising tricaps) and certain aspects of builds which have metas. Some popular things currently include:

• Incarnon weapons.
• Viral + slash, armour stripping, status stacking.
• Nuke + speed builds.
• The use of some combination of invulnerability windows (health/shield gate, vazarin, etc), invisibility, mobility, and crowd control to survive at higher levels.
• Taking meme loadouts to level cap (if you take a "proper" loadout to level cap, the hardest part is staying awake).

Regarding those frames:

• Saryn builds for range. The rest depends on what you're doing.
• Wisp typically builds for strength. The rest depends on what you're doing.
• Nova, look up "m.prime inherit nuke" or similar for her flavour of the month.
• Ember spams 3 + 4, probably does some heat inherit thing with Archon Vitality and (as suggested by someone above) an AoE complementary ability like Breach Surge.
• Nidus wants strength and range. At higher levels would probably build to stack Mutation as fast as possible for his Undying passive (a kind of health gate).

I've got nothing for Ember, but this Saryn build will still work wonders despite the minor nerf to the Incarnon Dual Ichor:
