2 Billion Damage Stropha (2025) | Warframe
NOTE: Arcane Truculence only activates when GAINING overguard. This won't proc when you're at max overguard.
Melee Mods:
In addition to the base damage from Primed Pressure Point, I was also able to get Corrosive and Viral Damage on my Stropha, much like my Arca Titron build, thanks to Melee Exposure, and North Wind and Primed Fever Strike, respectively. I also modded in Killing Blow for the additional damage on heavy attacks since this build focuses on, you guessed it, heavy attacks.
I also modded in 3 critical damage mods: Galvanized Steel, Organ Shatter, and Gladiator Might. Since I get a lot of critical chance from Kullervo's first ability already, I didn't see the point of adding any more critical chance, which is why I opted for more critical damage.
Finally, we have Smite Orokin for the additional faction bonus on top of Roar.
TIP:
It is very much possible to be more flexible in terms of critical damage and faction mods assuming you have either Tauforged Red Shards or any Violet Shard for the extra critical damage. Unfortunately, in my case, this is what I ended up with given the resources I had.
Warframe Mods:
Nothing interesting here, really. I went for 300% strength just because. Furthermore, the duration COULD be increased but I don't mind spamming the abilities since this ensures the uptime of Melee Exposure. As for efficiency, I don't really see any problem since I almost always don't run into energy issues, especially considering that I spam my abilities half the time.
Warframe Arcanes:
In addition to Arcane Fury, Arcane Truculence seems to work really well with Kullervo since this primes the enemies around you with max viral stacks. However, as mentioned, this doesn't proc when you're at max overguard, so it's important to be mindful of your overguard to ensure that Arcane Truculence procs when you need it.
