Help with chroma build. Is chroma viable on high end?

[Kronxito]

I want a full tank chroma (ice energy). But I dont know if he is good for high end missions like sorties or laws.

Here is my build and I wonder if this could be better.  

Arcanes ----> arcane grace and arcane victory

- (Aura) steel charge

- (Exilus) handspring

- primed continuity

- steel fiber

- vitality

- streamline

- intensify

- narrowminded

- constitution

- rage

 

Anyone could help me about this?  Thanks a lot in advance.

Main problem with your current build is you don't have enough power strength. You have excellent duration but your armor gain from Vex armor and Elemental Ward is low.

Here's a comprehensive guide on Chroma that you might want to take a look at: 

Here is my 4x forma'd chroma (still missing one more for the exilus qq) with double grace. These following builds should work fine with one grace set as well. I'm also running Zenurik hence why my efficiency is so low in most builds.

For the aura polarity I'm using - so I can switch between ES and CP, however, having D and using Rejuvenation with Ice tank Chroma is also very viable. If you find yourself often dying while tanking with Chroma I'd suggest replacing Vitality with Quick Thinking.

1. High duration and power strength, low efficiency (my go-to for sorties and 1h T4 Void Survivals)

Spoiler

2. High duration, medium power strength, default efficiency

Spoiler

3. Medium-high duration, medium power strength, slightly above default efficiency

you should look at some tactical potato videos on his chroma and the damage he tanks with him.

I would squeeze in Primed Flow & Quick Thinking in addition to Vitality.  Your massive armor will work with QT.  The more power strength the better this works.

Rest is your personal preference really.  Could swap Intensify with Blind Rage, Handspring with Power Drift.  Aura can be w/e, sadly overshields from Brief Respite don't count toward your Vex Armor.

I run with 214% power str and 254% duration on mine.  Currently waiting on Primed Vigor so I can get max Vex Armor buff without having to rely on waiting or Guardian to kick in.

I didnt know Armor works on Quick Thinking.  But how does power strength work on it?

So... power efficiency.... it doesnt matter? Is streamline prescindible?

As focus skill I'm thinking on Unairu (defensive armor focus) in order to get even more durability xDD.

I use 299% power strength and 227% duration. Vigor instead of vitality. Zenurik, Medi-ray/Guardian in the sentinel.

Tried this on sorties, and is fine and fun. On Mot, alone, is a mess for reach the full bar of focus.

I finally will try with "CASE 5 - Alternate Version 5" from the guide. It has 64300 effective life points!!!!!!!!!!!

Arcanes:  guardian & grace

Focus:  Zenurik (I think Unairu is not needed because of that f*****g insane amount of life points from that base build)

Thanks for your help.
