Before it got nerfed and power crept (but also long before Hydroid got buffed) the Zarr used to be a permanent part of my Hydroid loadout. I also used it on Mirage, because lol Harley Quinn.
This is better with the normal Zarr. Not only because it has 10x better ammo economy, but unlike the kuva version DE never nerfed the bomblets, so you can fire off like a dozen little bomblets on impact which can add blast procs.
I really appreciate this one because everyone loves the Zarr and I've just never been able to see the appeal: the tiny magazine, the insane reload time, the paltry single-shot. Watching this has taught me *where* to shore up those deficiencies and *how*, by which I mean I have to grind out a full Merciless and actually put on that Prime Sure Footed. But even before patching those gaping wounds, I'm already having a lot more fun with this build. Thank you!
I like the elementist mods cause that 90 percent damage is basically just under having one stack of viral on an enemy for the status damage. So it let's you swap viral for one of this and another mod. Though multiple stacks of viral would do more. Still let's you try things
If you're looking for armor strip I think Zarr users are contractually obligated to use Hydroid as their armor strip source for even MORE explosions sourced from cannons.
Big dumb explosives build has got me thinking... do you think concealed explosives could be more than a meme build now? Bring out the old hikou, with an expel mod, fire rate, and roar on top (subsumed on Mirage for triple cloned explosives) - and maybe pistol elementalist could help boost the damage where Hornet Strike never could? And even if not, blast damage isn't awful anymore, so it could still be a good time
@@sekinafi29 they stack, but it's additive. Generally you want to avoid that and have all multiplicative modifiers. But, since it's concealed explosives, you can't affect it with base damage, crit, status, or elemental mods. Which... kind of just leaves fire rate, multishot and faction mods. Plus whatever special BS you can think to put on top, like Mirage clones or (I think) Saryn's toxic lash
The thing with the new blast is that it acts almost like slash but without viral boost, so after some testing I've found that corrosive/blast setups are kinda bonkers perfect equal to slash/viral... finally thanks DE 👏👏👏
You can pretty much have a normal viral/hunter munitions build with cannonade and rifle elementalist if using a toxin zarr, just using primed cold damage to get the viral and give extra damage
You might consider dropping plain Aptitude and putting Elementalist there (although I'm not sure how that punch through behaves with the explosive) and running Radiated Reload to further help with the reload.
Every time I think of or see someone using this weapon, I immediately think of Hydroid Prime because he's technically a Pirate. On top of that, his Prime variant looks just like one.
The silliest of blast builds is still the paris prime incarn with its mod :P Also build suggestion, the lex prime revisit for that spicy oneshotting of stalker fanbois (and everything else also of course), my go to on ember to make em go away
Mr UA-cam man sir, I can't tell if the blast proc effect is actually doing anything. It looks like the Zarr is just killing everything in one shot. Is it actually even giving the enemies 10 blast procs? Or is it just the upfront damage that's doing it's thing there?
thanks for reminding me that i have a zarr riven that's been sitting around for four years at this point. Hard deciding on which kuva/tenet weapon to hunt with all the new mods, might go for this one, or the chakhurr, or...
I think I’d rather use Hammer shot in place of vital sense. A neat way to squeeze in crit damage and status chance while keeping Firestorm. Though this may be cause I want to use a cannonade mod in there too
taking a decent melee (Im using my nami solo since its incarnon & the one I wanted to work on next) and putting blast on it to use with inaros new 2 and augment, with breach surge over the 1. Calling it the sand blaster
Currently getting some Incarnons and leveling them, and while browsing some of your builds, i was surprised to see the Magistar wasn't among them. How come!?
Wondering if is worth to change the progenitor of nemesis "2 instance explosive weapons" (zarr, brahma, lenz, proboscis cernos and ogris with nightwatch napalm) from heat to eletricity so it frees mod slots to get both blast and eletric. I personally would use hammer shot instead of rifle aptitude. Then with the freed slot (60% innate eletric + 60% eletric mod + innate blast) I would put vigilante armaments or heavy caliber for more base damage and spread, or even cannonade (except in the brahma case).
I now begin to wonder can rivens now be generated with status damage on them since it technically is a new type of stat bonus for rivens to roll. It would be broken as a stat for Ocucor but sadly the mod slots are saturated on it.
How about the Incarnon Paris Prime with its signature status mod, and maybe some Splits Flight for maximum silliness? That or the Incarnon Soma Prime for explosive machinegun with the Incarnon Mode.
I tried blast On soma prime incarnon It's weaker Both blast corrosive Blast electric Blast toxic It's eh Corrosive and cold was doing better and ramp up faster
Firestorm is a huge waste here when compared to something that actually favors your stat gaps like Hammer Shot: This isn't really a silly Blast build when you don't even hit 100% status chance.
Pablo: "We heard you guys like AoE, so now you can put AoE into your AoE weapons."
At least more thought went into it this time, rather than big boom do big damage to everything with no weakness or downside
Can you explode twice? Yes
Mr Torgue enters the chat: "EXPLOSIONS!!!???"
Okay, I NEED to pair this with Hydroid. Imagine the pirate warframe using a literal FLAK CANNON as his primary weapon.
Plus it also Armor strips.

Zarr. NAMI and I forget the side arm but it's like a flintlock pistol.

Love the video, but... WHERE IS THE YARR HARR FIRE THE ZAR?! xD
Tenora Prime would be awesome, i haven’t seen anyone do videos on it in YEARS
YES

Definitely gonna try this on frost, his 4 with the augment will give overguard for knockdown immunity and do a full armor strip. Thanks for the build!
Been tempted to try some weapons that are very single target focused with a build like this, thanks for the helpful video MC!

Convectrix can get really stupid with its high status chance, it could be fun
I love this channel focusing on fun and not pure optimization all the time

Expel + Roar would be somewhat redundant, they both provide faction damage.
@@tanwenwalters7689 isn’t that a good thing? Do multiple faction damage buffs not stack or something?

thats just gonna hinder the build with less blast procs, since you're adding another element to the pool + reducing the status chance
Rifle elemenalist is there
I think you could’ve tried incarnon paris blast build with split flights. The radius is not that big, but infinite punch trough can make it work
Was that a Red Dwarf reference with "everybody's dead Dave"?

Chakkhurr is excellent with cannonade, I have an all upfront dmg setup that hits 1-5 mill on red crits (depending on pet priming)
Instead of rifle aptitude you could use hammer shot so you can have more critical damage
Hey, have you considered the zakti?
Have you tried Zephyr with the new blast mechanics? Blast chains like crazy if you round up a lot of enemies in the 4
I think I’d rather use Hammer shot in place of vital sense. A neat way to squeeze in crit damage and status chance while keeping Firestorm.
Though this may be cause I want to use a cannonade mod in there too
I wonder how would this build feel if you replace fire mod with cannonade. You have fire zarr so you don't need two elemental mods to create blast.
taking a decent melee (Im using my nami solo since its incarnon & the one I wanted to work on next) and putting blast on it to use with inaros new 2 and augment, with breach surge over the 1. Calling it the sand blaster

riven mod stats are set in stone and wont get any new stats that didnt exist upon their release
@@iconbluesn5648 that is admittedly lame considering they updated how dispositions on new rivens worked compared to release state.
Can you tell me how your screen is not shaking when firing auto rifles or other auto weapons?
perfect weapon for hydroid- a ship cannon.
I wonder how good a bane mod would be, probably very good since it's a status build
Just more damage
Yay for the silly blast build
Reminder: Please don't go too nutty with in sqauds. We don't want this nerfed, looking at you Mirage mains
You can take my Zarr from my 5 sets of cold dead hands.
Eh dw
It's ammo economy is soo asss
If i had toxin as the innate element and not heat would this build still work? even if slightly less effective
I read that title with your accent in my mind 😂
swap rifle aptitude with cannonade and for more serious builds use corrosive blast
Try Paris Prime blast build with split flights
I did blast and electric on the Aegrit and it's kind of silly.
Well now I gotta go get a kuva zarr
have you tried full fire rate Kuva Kohm? Dumb Fun
This thing on a Valence Formation Lavos
Is this still good? Last time I used it before they nerf cannon weapon... Wait I think it'sonthe 2023 updates kinda forgot.
Is semi-rifle cannonade of use in this build?
Kuva nukor blast build for the secondary please
rifle aptitude instead of hammer shot?
angstrum incarnon
BLASTSTRUM
kuva tonkor next pretty please 🙏
...are you trying to tell me that everybodies dead?
Build Idea: Kuva Chakkurr at home
Just rubico prime but built for blast
Mirage + ammo case + carrier + rifle ammo aura. Thank me l8r
This setup trully make blast blastier
Love it but I love the MIGHTY SEER more
Thank you for the video
If you're looking for a silly status damage blast primary, miter incarnon is the way. It blasts, it bounces, it blastsblastsblastsBLASTS
Should try hammer shot instead of aptitude…
Silly cannon, with silly bubble gun with silly boom boom beyblade with silly boom boom frame
I literally just got the Kuva Zarr lol
Yeah this would be good if DE weren't idiots and gutted the ammo pool for Kuva Zarr.
Kaboom?
Yes, Rico, kaboom.
Silly idea: Combine a Blast Sniper with Mark for Death. 450% aoe in a short area, overkill as hell but the *numbers.* Gather frame recommended.
Silly mr. UA-camman
How about the Incarnon Paris Prime with its signature status mod, and maybe some Splits Flight for maximum silliness? That or the Incarnon Soma Prime for explosive machinegun with the Incarnon Mode.
I tried blast
On soma prime incarnon
It's weaker
Both blast corrosive
Blast electric
Blast toxic
It's eh
Corrosive and cold was doing better and ramp up faster

Big boom is good = hits more enemies with blast = more blast hitting other enemies
Prob just replace rifle ap with hammer shot
I just got a kuva zarr from my first kuva lich he had one with radiation damage he was a bitch
Early yay
Time to nerf AOE again.
