Sick javlok riven riven...or is it?

[DefectiveMagus]

After months of playing sorties and getting 2k endo,4k endo,lens,lens,greater lens and so on xD i have finally got a riven mod.Mission was kill 17 enemies without touching the floor,ez just took nidus to a infested defense and hoped around like a bunny on crack.

And what i got is this:

I have tested it out,during primary fire its barely noticable but with the secondary trow the spear goes twice the lenght and barely drops since it goes twice as quick.

But i personally dont really like waisting a riven stat on faster flight speed,but i dont know how everybody else feels about that.And this is the first time in like 5 riven mods i got that when i unveiled it i actually got decent stats on it.

So im wondering if i should reroll it or try to sell it? I am not a big fan of the spear thing but with these stats vs the grineer it absolutely destroys so i guess it could be sortie viable.

IF only it dealt any damage to begin with, then maybe riven would have been good xD

If you like flight speed, roll the mod to catch better stats and then put a, for example, ville acceleration

But vile acceleration increases fire rate not flight speed

Honestly, that riven isn't good at all.

Flight speed and potential other (better) buffs aside, don't forget that this is almost a fully ranked primed bane of grineer, which is pretty strong if you know how and when to use it. I'd still reroll it, because you can definitely get a better roll, that is maybe also suited for other factions.

correction: it's not as best as it can be, but I believe that's not enough flight speed, if i remember correctly, i've seen 130+ before.

And it does not have other beneficial stats. That grineer dmg is to specific.

I'd reroll, but as noted up and down, these stats make it an impressive anti-Grineer weapon.  Reroll it, and if you get a better Riven with the same Grineer-killing property, cool.

Given Grineer are present on Mercury, Sedna, Saturn, Uranus, Derelicts, Mars, the Kuva Fortress, and in the Void to an extent, it's not bad.

 

Contrast with the Corpus, who are on Venus, Phobos, Europa, Jupiter, Pluto, and in the Void, or the Infested, who are on two nodes every planet, Eris, and Invasions.  And the Void.

 

It might be too specific, yes, but among the factions, Grineer are the most plentiful, so...

i thought the fligth  speed really makes it fly quickly so you can snipe with the spear on longer ranges and cause of the +dmg to grineer it would make it really strong against the grineer since the +dmg is dealth at the end of all the dmg calculation so its better than just pure +dmg,and the gun is meant for vs grineer i guess? i mean you wont use it vs the infested cause of the slow fire rate and maybe against the corpus

It's actually pretty fun when you have enough room to play with it. Let the infested surround you, bullet jump straight up, throw javlok straight down.

An element such as toxin or electric is >>>>> grineer bonus damage

More versatility and you can indeed get grineer bonus damage from the element.

You will see some rivens which have a negative faction stat, but people keep that because the other stats are just much better in comparison.

But then that added elemental damage adds to the bonus damage versus the Grineer as well.  You can run Magnetic and use the flat damage boost to compensate at lower levels, or run Corrosive and go full-on anti-Grineer.

idk, I feel it isn't worth it to use a faction dmg mod, when elements already do the same thing with bonus effects.

more flight speed, maybe status, and multishot would be better on this gun

It's a good riven, but only to reroll I think. A v polarity riven for a new weapon? I'd say its got a good bit of potential.

[DefectiveMagus]

Are you serious??? xD third reroll i got +~80% multishot,+~80% toxic dmg and i think -~45% fire rate
