"Cadus is technically Wukong's signature because they launched together" has the same energy with "Nikana got primed with Saryn so it must be her signature, she even uses it in the trailer" sentence one of my clanmates said once. Whenever a weapon comes out with a Warframe, it doesn't mean that its a signature weapon. Otherwise since Saryn and Banshee came out with Viper, Fang and Paris, one of them would have to have a signature interaction with them aswell or to give a more recent and accurate example, Qorvex and Ekhein. Ofcourse, there are signature weapons without signature interactions like Yareli and Kompressa and Banshee Prime and Euphona Prime or even unimplemented signature weapons like Kullervo and Vaenn and according to his Levarian, Ash and Causta but im ignoring those to avoid possible confusion and complication. Signature weapons are what the original versions of the Warframes prefer to use in lore aside from their exalted weapons if they have one. Cadus and Wukong came out at the same time but both Wukong prefers using his own polearm "Iron Staff" just like the original Sun Wukong in the Chinese Mythology favorites his own polearm above everything else which cancels out the posibility of having a signature weapon (atleast a signature melee) and their releases arent related despite happening at the same time as Wukong released 1 month early over there for the promotion of the Chinese server's launch which was followed by Nezha being released 1 month early over there aswell while Cadus was released as an alert drop to celebrate the Chinese holiday of Singles' Day. As for why they decided to bring it over here: ever since DE sold the Chinese server to another company and abandoned it a little more than a few years ago, they have started releasing Chinese exclusive stuff to the Global version overtime like Excalibur Umbra (Was founders reward for Chinese server but then swapped with Excalibur Umbra Prime so they could release Excalibur Umbra to Global), Nikana & Spira Prime (Were launched with Excalibur Umbra Prime and were exclusive to there until they launched to global with Saryn Prime and which is the reason why Nikana has a Dragon variant for seemingly no reason), Prisma Machete (Was Chinese exclusive until Baro brought it one day)... When they brought Carmine Penta with the Railjack Retrofit, it left Cadus as the only Chinese exclusive weapon. Ever since they released Junctions, Trinity Specter was using Cadus so they had to bring it eventually and bring they did. If I'm not wrong, currently we only don't have the exclusive skins Bronze Rhino, Bronze Galatine and Bronze Drakgoon but we got all the exclusive weapons and exclusive Warframes obviously excluding Umbra Prime.

Do a kuva weapon then

I am incapable of not doing your mother

honestly it'd probably be funny if you pulled the inverse of these "hidden gem" videos- bring an absolute meta weapon and test it under the worst circumstances like "yeah this braton prime incarnon can't even kill a diemos jugulus with a whole clip, here's my viral slash setup. DE doesnt know how to make good weapons smh"

Haiyaa

But what about the bullet jump damage mods like Firewalker

Literally the same happened to me

Those are some of my favourite weapons in the game and one of my favourite stances. I love the animations and the forced slash procs, and the weapons have serious reach. I use the ceti lacera on my melee Saryn and she just wrecks everything (condition overload build, and healing return to stay upright).

Shattering impact needs to do impact damage to strip Armor. Melee influence does not spread the IPS damage, only elemental. and this the Armor strip does not spread. Amalgam argonak strips Armor on hit, not on just impact damage. And so melee influence and spread that

@@rugino3614 guess that makes sense yeah, have not noticed melee influence not spreading ips procs. A bit sad that it does not then.

outside of elements, mod placement literally means nothing

​@@SR64.Dual stats and especially Rivens figure in prominently too....if you have a single element I usually try to put it the last slot...but for cold, toxic...or Rivens with 2 elements....I usually try to slit them in earlier to allow for more build options.

It just looks nicer. And It also helps to have them aligned when doing build videos ,so you can go through them in order.

Its also just the way we think while modding. In my head I go " hmm yes, damage, multishot, critical ,status." So pressure point just naturally goes first while elements go last

For me it depends on the weapon. For a high status weapon I put my status mods up top. For a crit gun I put crit mods and multishot up top. My galvanized mods usually go on the left side and then the mods I associate with them. This helps me focus on the why and how I use a weapon in warframe and prioritize the mods I select accordingly.

Rivens are Extremely Overrated.

​@@lookalike4805How are they overrated? On many weapons, they literally give you 2-4 mods worth of power in a single slot, and even the drain is about the same as primed mods. Well-rolled ones are obviously much more powerful than any non-conditional mods, as long as your build can actually benefit from the stats.

​@NatiiixLP to the unseasoned player they can easily come off as the be all, end all of mods, especially when people talk about riven Plat values. Yes they're strong and slot efficient, but that doesn't mean they can't be overrated still.

You want to know what makes this even better? Nova's molecular prime. To put it simply: the on kill explosions inherit some stats from the weapon that killed the enemy. It's a little bit more shields... But also AoE armour strip as it inherits being classified as a dagger hit.

@@electrospaghetti8388 Yup. If you want somewhat tanky Nova, use Rakta Dark Dagger with melee influence.

You mean Caustacyst?

Yes sorry@@guppyitsallgood

@@Darthmufin Darth you probably spend so much time typing about Warframe every weapon is in your autocorrect right? I'm pretty sure I've been seeing your name around as long as I've been playing, which is a very long time now.

Yes ive also been developing forms of dyslexia over the years, first it was my fingers not typing the words correctly or typing letters out of order, and starting a couple years ago i type words that im not thinking lol. In this case i was thinking of and figured i was typing caustacyst but i typed that instead. @@guppyitsallgood

Man. The Caustacyst used to be my go-to for a few gimmick builds centered around finishers, thanks to its heavy attack.

Honestly the Cyanex gets points just because I don't have to aim with it.

Despite the rumblejack literally being a free weapon it kinda gets overshadowed by...well...The naturuk from the same quest.

Yeah, Melee Influence carries so many weapons right now. So long as you can make your melee weapon deal Electric procs, and add in some viral/corrosive, even thrash MK1 Skana/Bo can clear base level SP missions with ease.

Repo Audit precept disarms enemies, unequip it or change to any other Audit you have. Null Audit is pretty fun as it steals Eximus auras and cuts their Overguard In half, but can be annoying when it steal Frozen bubble blocking your shots.

Needs buffs to really work. The explosion deals damage that scales with enemy max health, so it'll never kill other enemies on it's own. Faction damage mods affect it, but the only other way to easily scale the damage is through abilities. Roar in particular is a subsumable 'faction damage' bonus. Toxic Lash counts as an additional weapon hit, and triggers on Acid Shells damage instances, and mods affect Toxic Lash toxin procs, so you can buff Acid Shells damage in a very significant way in a roundabout fashion by using Toxic Lash. It's also supported by Saryn being able to full strip with spores and shards. And buff the initial shot with the spores augment. The other big synergy is on Garuda, where Acid Shells will trigger slash procs on marked enemies, and those slash procs will scale off the enemies health and naturally ignore armour, making them scale indefinitely. The slash procs also count as Sobek damage, which in turn can trigger more explosions, which then can trigger more slash procs. It's all about figuring out what buffs affect the Acid Shells damage.

No

they would do more
