The maximum achievable power strength

[lukinu_u]

As probably a lot of Warframe players, I love theorize about possible build and calculate things in the game to create the most optimezed build but also to just try hilarous thing such as achieving higher damage in a single hit, the higher firerate, the higher number pellet per shot in the game.
For these sort of things you may need the maximum possible power strength ever in the game. That's why I'm creating this topic, that will explain how to reach it and what is the exact value, because it's a fix number you will need to multiplie by the base value of your abilities.

So, let's start with what you need :
Equinox and Nidus (the buffers), all power strength mods (including energy conversion) for the buffers and the buffed and full squad of 8 player, each owning Gowning Power Drift,Coaction Drift and a good weapon to proc status. (You will also need Arcanes Pandragon and Squall for Excalibur and Frost).

Now, let's talk about every step and how they will affect the final number :

• First, equip both Growing Power and Coaction Drift on each member of the 8 players squad. Coaction Drift will increase the effectveness of everyone Aura player to 115% and your own Aura effectivness by another 15%, meaning you get 115%*(1+0.15)=132.25%.
  This mean when everyone's Growing Power (really often with the high status weapons), you will 7(25*1.15)+(25*1.3225%)= +234.3125% Power Strength.
• Next, let's talk about Equinox Pacify & Provoke, and more precisely the Peaceful Provocation augment. The max power strength buff is capped at +50%, but it can be increased to +80% Power Strength with the said augment. Consideing the Max is reached with 250% power strength, you won't need any power strength mods, so can build for full duration/efficiencly/range if you Strength don't go under 64%.
• Now let's explain how useful Nidus would be. Nidus Paracyst Link increase the total current power strength of the target by 25% (increased by Power Strength), meaning if it's even bigger than every other buffs.
  Note that it's really important for the Equinox to reach the +80% cap BEFORE Nidus use the link on the target to buff in order to get the higher Power Strength.
  With all Power Strength mods, all active Growing Power, the Equinox buff and the innate +15% power Paracyst link would increase target's power Strength by 25(1+0.15+0.3+0.99+0.55+0.15+0.5+0.8+2.343125)= 169.578125%, meaning you your Nidus will multiply power strength by ~2.70x.

So, now, lets add all the power strength mods with Equinox and Nidus buffs.
You get 100(1+0.3+0.99+0.55+0.15+0.5+0.8+2.343125)*2.70= ~1520.94% Power Strength.
The calcualtion is a bit different with Nidus with his passive +15 power strength and with Excalibur/Frost with their Arcane helmet. It would be 100(1+0.3+0.99+0.55+0.15+0.5+0.8+2.343125)*2.70= ~1831.44% Power Strength.


EDIT : As @Emolition suggested, I added the calculation for a 4 players squad, but using the fissure Warframe buff, and the result is even more impressive !
Plus this one is even better because totally acheivable on regular missions and dont force you to do a Raid, where this wouldn't be useful.

• Growing power buff is 3(25*1.15)+(25*1.3225%)= +119.3125%
• Equinox buff remain +80%
• Nidus buff is 25(1+0.15+0.3+0.99+0.55+0.15+0.5+0.8+1.193125)= 149.578125, so multiply strength by ~2.60.
• The fissure buff double the Warframe power strength.

The buffed warframe power strength is 2*100(1+0.15+0.3+0.99+0.55+0.5+0.8+1.193125)(2*2.6)= ~5702.45%.
The strength for Nidus and Excalibur/Frost with their arcane is 2*100(1+0.15+0.3+0.99+0.55+0.15+0.5+0.8+1.193125)=~5858.45%.

Hope it can be useful for anyone :D

from the wiki "Currently, Coaction Drift does not affect the Ability Strength buff."

Perfect.

From my tests, it does and I dont see what you mentionned on the wiki. Maybe it's an error that was fixed ?

Don't forget to calculate all frames with corrupted buff from fissures =P

I had fun with my oberon when me and my friend on nidus both hit frame corruption at same time I was able to get up to 2800 armor buff.

Sadly, there arn't Raid corrupted fissures and this calculation use a 8 players squad with the auras D:

But you are right, I forgot the fissure boost so let's see how better it is considering itdouble the total strength, but we will have to reduce the aura number to 4.

• Growing power buff is 3(25*1.15)+(25*1.3225%)= +119.3125%
• Equinox buff remain +80%
• Nidus buff is 25(1+0.15+0.3+0.99+0.55+0.15+0.5+0.8+1.193125)= 149.578125, so multiply strength by ~2.60.

The buffed warframe power strength is 2*100(1+0.15+0.3+0.99+0.55+0.5+0.8+1.193125)(2*2.6)= ~5702.45%.
The strength for Nidus and Excalibur/Frost with their arcane is 2*100(1+0.15+0.3+0.99+0.55+0.15+0.5+0.8+1.193125)= ~5858.45%.

That's... insanely strong, and totally acheivable on a regular mission, compared to my own method that require to be 8.
That's... good, but... I WANT MORE !

:hand over lip:

Keep it down,  [DE] is Alive, I tell ya!

Honestly, that sound nice, but I like to Volt on rare occasion, 200~300% Strength is nice, Fragile and Stunning
