Is the Stand United Aura good?

[(PSN)Karelxss]

I was thinking putting this on nekros, chroma, and inaros is it worth it and does it stack with like steel fiber and buffs?

Only bad thing about that aura is D polarity

[Naftal]

It's not very good on even the biggest armor frames.

It's next to useless on Nekros.

[Trichouette]

No it's not.

And especially NOT on nekros. He has 65 armor, what good will that do ? Nothing really.

I don't see any use in that aura at all, even on valkyr who has the biggest base armor in the game.

I thought it would stack with things like health conversion

I don't think it will, but won't make much of a difference when it comes to Nekros. Nekros (both regualr and prime) have 65 armor which is nothing compared to other frames, adding 30% (less) of that to him will make it about 90 which is still nothing. All the squad members have to equip it in order to make it effective (this is why it called "Stand United"), but it's still not enough to Nekros with about 130-140 armor now, still not much. A good enough armor will be 200+ that fits for melee.

Health Conversion gives +450 flat to the armor and it stacks up to 3 times, this is why it's better. Take 65 base armor + 450X3, you will get 65+1350=1415 armor. When all the squad members use Stand United, if I understood how the mod works, will make it 130+1350=1480 armor, tankier, but not much of a difference.

Health conversion is (I believe) added on top of the base armor + mod.

So it would be base armor + mods (including the aura) and THEN + health conversion.

Even if it did, you get severe diminishing returns in damage reduction from Armour past 900, i.e. 2 Health Orbs with Health Conversion. A Health Conversion Nekros is tanky enough as is, what you need is to help edge out his damage in order to kill faster, thus activating Desecrate more often.

So far, I think it might work fine on frost since he has a matching D polarity and the extra armor can be used for snowglobe.

To get what ? 300 more health ?

Better use something more useful like CP or even rejuv
