Need help from Veteran Valkyrs- Valkyr Builds

[.Omoikane.]

So I'm relatively new, and i heard that Valkyr was one of the best frames to solo with (Which is something i do just about most of the time, for now) as she has her invincibility and massive amounts of damage (I even heard someone saying hundreds of thousands to even millions with slide attacks and slam attacks, though i'm guessing that's over-exaggeration..). My question was how to build her (And the Melee weapon i would use on her) effectively. I read a thread on her wiki page;

http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:828736.

however i'm not sure whether this is a good, effective build or not. They also got into a debate over melee weapons, but i thought that the actual melee weapon's stats don't matter with Hysteria.

I was also looking under the Corrosive projection effectiveness thread Here and i was curious as to whether or not putting on a CP+damage mods or Steel Charge+Corrosive element would work. Or even CP+Corrosive element.

So basically my question to veteran Valkyr players is basically just how do i build her and the melee weapon for her?

That first build will get you through most of the game just fine, but it's still a flawed build. A solo pure Hysteria Valkyr has no need of EHP mods, and really the only frame that makes good use of Rage is Wukong.

The second build is good, but I disagree with the use of the aura and the augment. It kills DPS. If you want faster Hysteria, then modding Berserker on your melee weapon does the job just fine.

This is the build I use. Gets the job done, and can absolutely solo even Sorties.

The reason for changing the aura to Corrosive Projection is that at high levels, the crazy armor ratings of enemies will nullify the damage boost you'd get from Steel Charge, and you need to cut that armor down. In those situations, CP will allow you to do more damage than if you had Steel Charge. And at low levels, really, Steel Charge doesn't matter since you're mowing enemies down anyway.

Note that this build takes a lot of Forma and a lot of high-rank mods. So, while this build works better, it is definitely harder to achieve, and if you don't plan on advancing that much that quickly, the build already suggested will do the job for a decent chunk of the game.

I main Valkyr and I try not to touch hysteria with a ten foot pole so I don't mod around it. Hysteria is fun when you start out, but the more you play Valkyr the boring it becomes. The claw animations become monotonous and start to put you to sleep.

So as a Veteran Valkyr player my opinion is to not build around hysteria.

My 2 favorite go to builds are these:

http://warframe-builder.com/Warframes/Builder/Valkyr/t_30_4230420030_2-0-10-6-7-5-12-1-8-19-4-10-27-9-3-34-8-5-59-3-3-479-5-10-481-2-10-518-6-3_2-6-12-7-481-7-59-9-19-7-479-7-518-9-6-11-34-14-27-9_0/en/1-0-19

Melee Focused build which I can take into any sortie and be competitive.

http://warframe-builder.com/Warframes/Builder/Valkyr/t_30_4230420030_2-0-10-4-2-5-6-5-5-19-4-10-34-8-5-46-6-5-59-3-3-386-7-3-411-1-10-615-9-5_2-6-411-8-4-5-59-9-19-7-6-6-46-11-386-9-34-14-615-9_0/en/1-0-19

Prolonged Paralysis build which is good for objective based missions and is really good with aoe type weapons.

I do not agree with that. First of all there is always a chance to run out of energy and Rage usually means that out of Hysteria it usually takes only a hit or two to instantly regain most of your energy while Vitality and your high base armor make sure that you do not get one-shot.

Also Nullifier can be really troll at times and having at least a max rank Vitality equipped means you are far less likely to go down immediately in case their bubbles touch you.

Good news is, I already have every one of those mods, save for P Flow and P Continuity. Only difference; very few of them are maxed. And the ones that are are the ones that only go to Ranks 3 and 5. The full Rank 10 ones are going to take a while. I may substitute a few of the less efficient (at low rank) ones for Vitality or something else, and make sure i have energy efficient mods on. Streamline+Fleeting Expertise is all i really need for energy efficiency, until i start adding in other mods such as blind rage, at which point i'll also need higher duration to make up for the lower efficiency, etc etc.

So that's it for Valkyr herself, but what about my weapon? Is there any specific weapon that i should use? My currently most-used weapons are my Nikana Prime and Fang Prime. Or does it make absolutely zero difference? ( I hear some people saying that weapon crit chance/status chance affects Hysteria, but i've also seen some that don't) I know Hysteria has it's own Base damage, crit chance, crit damage, status chance, slam attack radius, but i don't know about attack speed...And should i use Corrosive element on weapon?
