Grinlok Build?

[Maugre]

Alright, so I'm pretty in love with the Grinlok. Only problem is that it doesn't exactly hold up too well in the highest leveled missions, and I'm wondering if anyone knows a build that would resolve this. I would prefer not having to resign it to the pitiful state known as a "status build" (unless, of course, that happens to fit alongside general strength), so please keep that in mind.

 

Thanks for any advice, and I'm willing to put forma into it if needed.

 

Also, while it's nice, I don't really feel the Deadly Sequence mod has much of a place in a build without centering it around the new event crit mods. Opinions on this?

Augment + Crit mods and elemental damage.

This is what I use for the Grineer (Swap to Viral if you have 4 CPs)

Hope this helps!

 

If you don't have Deadly Sequence, using Point Strike would be fine.

The augment allows my Grinlok's Crit Chance to rival snipers'. That's enough for me.

Thanks for the help on this, guys. I'll play around with the ideas and see, probably going to end up using the Augment despite my concerns.

You shouldn't really have any concerns about it.

 

The augment is good on its own.

Yeah, I know. I just tend to dislike relying on crits that aren't absurdly high chance, but that's something I need to get over.

45% at a 4x4x is really substantial.

the sort of thing that you probably should go for with Grinlok.

 

Punch-Through is kind've important, but some people don't like it.

 

either way, 3 Crit Mods is what you just use. no room for new Crit Mods, as you need to have those three first. maybe you could fit another Crit Mod if you don't use Punch-Through.

Augment and Point Strike are both better than Argon Scope, and consistently getting Weakpoint Crits (which means you can't use Heavy Caliber, you're looking for maximum Damage, and that's Double Weakpoint Crits).

 

again, you're looking to Crit as often as possible, on Weakpoints.

obv use whatever Elementals you like and/or are pertinent to your Enemies.
