Really solidified it being a TheKengineer video when he whipped out his SECOND forma’d Lavos
Doesn't everybody have a second copy of their main?
I needed a second Sayrn because my full Ubral setup couldn't fit shield tank or gating setups. I also ran out of loudout presets for more helminth abilities.
@@Cloakdasasin0 as a die hard harrow main i can confirm that most of player that has main has a second copy of their frames. My first harrow is for general purpose vanilla harrow gameplay so the subsume isn't that crazy on that one. The second one however i put 3 tau amber shards for orb energy effectiveness to replace his 3rd ability for wackier builds.
@@Cloakdasasin0 At this point I have 3 copies of Khora even though my usage of her has dropped in the last year or so. Umbral base version + Non umbral base + Umbral Prime. I only use one umbral forma on each, but that's what having multiple copies of the umbral mods at different ranks are for.
In recent times, I've been enjoying the "toolkit" approach to the game more often so I have different frames for different tasks. Plus a few "cool youtube builds" like the Blood-Altar Mag and Amalgam-Argonak-Rakta-Dark-Dagger Armor strip SpeedVa Nuke...
A second Lavos has hit the Galleon
@@Cloakdasasin0nah just 6 configs
Me, a lavos main: runs lavos on everything
Me, a lavos main after this augment: runs lavos on everythinger
The HUMBLE BRAG as you switch to an entirely separate, different forma'd Lavos 😂
TheKengineer: "Hold up, this doesn't look right, let me break out my second Lavos with the infinity gauntlet of archon shards to fix that"
A caster nuke, weapons platform, health tank frame with a fun mobility option.... I think I might need to go and get myself a lavos.
He’s a love him or hate him kind of frame. I love his versatility but it’s A TON of button presses and that turns some people off.
Go for it but i'd wait with investing too many resources into him because his prime will most likely release this year.
@@johnnykay6083 How many primes release in a year? Protea will be next and afaik Xaku comes aftet
Don it! You won't regret it!
@@Marin117. one prime release every 3 months so 4 per year. Yeah, after protea it should be xaku's turn but after their release lavos should be next. So he should release around autumn or winter .
Lavos mains eating good right now
All three of ‘em
@@novAviator01it’s me I’m all 3 of them and let me tell you I’m over the moon
@@novAviator01I'll have you know there's 5 of us get it right next time
@@novAviator01I'm the 4th. It's okay, you'd rather play an inferior frame and that's okay
Damn right I am >:D
YES, i have been refreshing your page daily for this video you have got me LOVING lavos, built him two days ago, knew you would do a vid
That's what the Bell Icon is For. 😳
This is my daughter's tablet I don't have one.
With this crazy augment I really look forward to Lavos Prime. Been holding off on sinking too many forma into him so far, just me personally not being fond on spending too many forma on frames that will be replaced with a prime variant later.
Same, really started getting into lavos recently but I've been holding back from putting formas on him considering his prime comes out later this year.
@@chiffoncakeandtea The only formas you should save is Umbra you can get the core build with 3 formas and switching swift bite for stretch or augur reach.
This is such a good augment mod! (it feels like an augment mod rather than a band-aid like Swift Bite cause adds another level of power onto Lavos imo). Everyday I yearn for Lavos Prime and Cedo Prime and this amplifies the desire.
Again, Thanks for another solid video Kengineer. I await your next video to solve another practical problem. Much love!!!
Now he just needs a deluxe skin... Still annoyed Yareli and Styanax got one before him.
I havent seen a yareli deluxe?
@@matyaskomjathi6511because it was probably the most disappointing deluxe I've seen for a frame so far, it doesn't even look like her, then again it's the concept so hopefully it'll change
@@matyaskomjathi6511 Been shown off as in the works, at the same time as the Sevagoth deluxe. The one that looks like Ivara.
Ive been waiting for you to drop the vid Kengineer, so glad your main got some love. Time to make some popcorn and watch a quality vid.
I went through your content over an hour ago and was sad to not see any new videos on the new augment... Reset the YT home page and what do I see? This video! Thank you so much!
I was waiting for you to cover this aug! Ive been having so much more fun with lavos with it
I'm genuinely so happy for you
I've been waiting for this video, thank you! Had my Lavos on the back burner for a couple weeks now waiting on your advice on how to rebuild my Mad Alchemist. Just in time too, it's going to be a fun Double Credit weekend nuking Profit Taker!
The only thing better than one lavos is two lavoses!
This augment has been treating me really well, and I'm not even the kinda person who can make anywhere near the best of it. My weapons hit harder, my Catalyze hits harder, and it's finally given me a reason to go and get the Helminth Colour Theory Segment, for that tauforged corrosive shard. Lavos mains are eating well!
I was about to write a comment about how I don't like Lavos as a pure weapon platform, and then you talked about the dmg% from the augment applying to his 4 as well.
I love you! You made this augment instantly a lot more interesting! Catalyze with heat inherit as a single target killer and normal procs for AoE sounds amazing.
I really have to test how much damage per tick I can get to! 400% modded heat (P Heat, Riven, Valence), Banes, and then additional dipping via Archon Vitality. Yummy!
Awesome video! I love that you're a fellow Lavos main! one more thing I would've mentioned is putting two +corrosive stack archon shards on him makes it so valence formation give Lavos a full armor strip with just his base kit, simply by infusing corrosive. YOu should seriously give it a try if you haven't
Always find these videos interesting and helpful, thanks. Also, it always feels like it’s Loid teaching warframe class 😊
Gotva Prime also came back last week with Baro. So I've been having a lot of fun with status builds incorporating this augment.
Why yes very interesting! Very technical indeed..
Thanks for showing us multiple builds instead of one special use case.😊
I liked video, I probably won't be able to keep all this in mind while playing unless I play lavos for a month or more. Thanks for the videos in general they have helped me focus on efficiencies instead of brute effort.
Hello, great video as always!
Does it works with gotvas prime passive (chance for super crit after proc)?
This channel turned me on to the power of Lavos, and I've been waiting for this video. Thank you! :)
oh fuck its in the damage formula for ability dots. that makes so much sense but i was not expecting that at all!
wow this is incredibly cool, I used to run a roar saryn with the spore augment and her toxic lash as my damage platform warframe, but lavos seems infinitely more useful and way more tanky. My new life as a lavos "main" starts now
i have been loving this augment with the kunai incarnon where each hit will do corrosive or toxin and i have 4 greens 2 for corrosive stacks and 2 for toxin damage (tau) and lets me kill everything :D
Love the builds in this one, any chance for a Parasitic Vitality Nidus one?
As soon as this was revealed I was like "the kengineer gonna be eating well tonight"
Are you going to make a Video on the Reworked Inaros?
Hi question can I put nourish on his
2 or 4 for free viral and then activate his electric buff for melee infuence, with that i can also booster energy gain for my squad ?
I just knew a Valence video was coming from Ken as SOON as it was added to the game 😂
Finally some love for Lavos
Yes he was so desperately in need of a power boost, Lavos mains have been struggling to keep up for far too long 😔
I would love to see a refresh of Mecha Lavos with Contagious Bond and Valence Formation. It's so crazy that since the procs of status from Mecha set are considered the companion killing and then spreads the statuses, which is then considered the pet killing, which continues
Speaking as someone who watched you test this augment, I appreciate the references that happened during testing, and I'm sure Silansi and Miralabe will be more than overjoyed to see them as well.
oh boy, that two (three? idk anymore) umbral format I dropped on Lavos is gonna finally come in super handy
As a recent enjoyer of Lavo's (Been playing with my old Inaros Prime since he got reworked) I have been having a ton of fun with him. Quick question. Would you suggest to turn his ablities into Tap mode (inverting the button press) or leaving them as is. I've been trying to figure out which works the best for a run and gun Lavos.
I assume the augment procs work for melee influence? Could be cool
Here's another niche use of this augment : You can use electric version for guaranteed electric procs on a melee weapon, allowing you to use the Melee Influence Arcane even if your melee has 0 electric damage and 0 status chance. This arcane can then help you spread any other powerful elemental statuses you apply
It's not that niche, and there is completely broken build with this.
Raw toxin Dual Ichors + Electric imbuement + 2x Green Archon shards + Melee Influence.
If Melee Influence is just nuke, this one is mega nuke. instant armor strip + electric bomb. And fast at that. Single tap of "E" button will be enough to strip all armor in 18m AOE.
what if i replaced just umbral vitality with archon vitality? the other two umbral mods will slightly decrease but i feel like it’s worth the extra heat procs?
i have some questions.
1, if my current weapon setup does not include viral as a status, would that mean the ideal cast is always viral?
2, how do you get kills with lavos? whatever ability i try cant even kill a level 60 grineer in ESO even with an element infused into it.
3, how do you combine infusing skills with the status you want in the weapon? I feel like if you for example apply viral with skills then maybe you dont want viral on the weapon but whatever you infuse into the skill will always replace the current status that valence gives to the weapons
I literally had a dream about a worse version of this mod about a year ago, so I feel like I’m going crazy now that it’s in the game. Literally dream augment.
This augment really made the dream feel real, of swapping damage types on the fly based on what you're fighting
Which Archon shard and weapons you suggest ? for both Core build and Gunplay build :D
I love your outro quips so much. So many UA-camrs just go "I'll see you all next time! Peace!" and/or cite their pitiful subscriber view counts for some reason. Thanks for keeping it fresh.
Would you consider it a bug that the augment that specifies weapon damage is applying to his abilities?
If u subsume off his 2 safely if you've modded ur weapons for cold, as u can still summon all elements due to infusion.
Good use case in profit taker if you're running some subsume for it like eclipse or roar
The second Lavos for a different build is something I admire.
This also does extremely well for shotguns because shotguns have status apply per pellet.
I have only one nitpick: Lavos' Valence Block passive also prevents status effects (like knockdown) for 10 seconds when you pick up an energy or universal orb. For a quick mission PSF may make sense, but for any high enemy density mission as long as you're casting his 3 you're probably going to be just fine. I'd recommend running Power or Cunning Drift (or possibly Preparation for even more mental damage)
One of the best aug. u can build a gun with electric and viral, cast toxin with the aug and u’ll be doing corro+toxin+ viral meaning it can take on all factions and u dont need to switch
I really like your intro. It sounds like an old school borno.
Lavos is super enjoyable since Swift Bite augment, and even more with this. Too bad his Prime is coming, too long to wait but too early to spend some Umbra Forma on the regular one. The non-Umbra setup is neat enough anyway.
Also, love how you described him in Why Lavos clip "might not be the BEST answer, but rarely the WRONG answer"
Literally just watched your "Why Lavos?" video last night, talk about timing.
ever since this came out ive slapped on 2 tau and 2 normal corrosive stack shards
Something really silly you can do because of this augment is abuse Cascadia Empowered. The status procs from this augment are garunteed PER PELLET on all weapons.
Meaning on a weapon like the Bronco Incarnon, you can get a bonus 6750 damage of your choice BEFORE modding for multishot.
And that is ignoring the base damage of the weapon, the base procs of the weapon, the potential DOTs of the augment procs, etc. Not gonna work for level cap, but for ANYTHING else?
Not quite sure i understand, what do you mean at 2:33 where you say this is the only eay to get modded gas elemental damage?
Elemental damaging status effects (Heat, Toxin, Electric, Gas) all increase their damage with matching elemental mods. So a Heat mod on a weapon will make the Heat proc do more damage, and so on. However there are no Gas mods. We achieve Gas normally by combining Heat and Toxin mods, but the proc equation doesn't count those. This augment applies Gas directly as an elemental buff, so it's the only source of Gas that actually buffs the Gas proc damage.
@@TheKengineer huh I never knew, that's wild!
I wasn't able to solo Profit Taker prior to this mod's release. Definitely a MUST have.
Wait but lavos 4 gives him knockdown resistance when he picks up orbs, you can tell when its on by the swirling energy snakes around his body
Lavos just keeps getting better!
please do a video about tennokai glaives
Actually thought you had a 3rd Lavos until I rewind to look at config names on the first lol
Also, for any mecha set usage, also equip contagious bond, don't ask why, just do it!
Your welcome!!
Mind blown right now, I didn't know you could hold two abilities to get combination elemental damage on Lavos!
Your voice is not like those annoying mainstream youtubers, subbed.
I have a question about Lavos as he is also my favourite frame. (And I'll admit right now I can't remember the specific wording of it) But one of his many (many) passives is when he applies a non damage status, he actually applies 3, (I love to vial rush with radiation for 3 cold and 3 rad procs, it can really take the heat off you when you're getting overwhelmed , especially when cold still affects eximus AND they can't buff and cause damage to their allies too) but how far does that passive go ... Does the guaranteed proc from this augment also become 3 procs? Do the bonus procs from archon mods or other sources get multiplied? The archin mod that does 1 proc of corrosive could become 6 with a single ophidian bite if that works. Also tangentially archon vitality should proc 4 fire procs on his 4th with a bonus fire mixed in right? That is then multiplied by this mod?
Anyway I love the way you approach and break down all these nitty gritty bits so I hope I get an answer to this
lavos doesnt applie 3 from none dot procs
How long has that quick access navigation wheel been a thing? 3000 hours and I'm just now finding out about this?
Only very recently, you're fine
Lmao i was just binging your vids, great stuff even tho the math hurts my branium
Lavos prime is going to be a damn treat when hr comes out
i ddin't know you could bring augments to the grendel missions. well revenant is still a good choice, just let the mesmer skin tank and the thralls kill
Recently got Lavos specifically because I love the idea of Gas damage and Valence Formation is the only source of modded gas damage for the gas dot.
What have I learned in the past couple days?
Lavos is the third frame I truly enjoy. Hydroid, Vauban, and now Lavos. Next step is for DE to tweak Chroma so i can have a 4th.
What's a weapon that deals very few status procs, but has ridiculous crit and damage stats? That would exploit the guaranteed procs of Valence Formation the hardest.
A man with two Lavos is a man after my heart
What a time to be a Lavos main 🎉
so if im reading this correctly you can make a pure crit weapon into a cold melter, any melee into an steal path nuker, spred more lethal flames than ember and garenty emrald shard toxen healing on everything all with one mod. and thats not including the pur obserdity this can have with other frames in the mix, wanna help a voruna with lycaths hunt, viral, qorvex, rads for days, hydrodes pillage works with other players procks so you can help him out with that, this also helps topaz shards become somewhat viable aswell. this is what augment mod SHOULD be.
they gave me lavos in deep archimedea this week and i used this augment, dealt 80% of the damage in the last mission. this augment is absurd
Lavos for eidolons and pt?
ohhh, valence *formation* not valence *fusion*
I was so confused for a sec
7:11
How did you make Lavos fall? I didn't know you could do that 😅😅
Pretty sure it's a -Bug- "Feature" 👀
There was a bug for a day or so where you'd just randomly faceplant all over the place, they already fixed it
Well you didnt mention melee influence. With hes augment he can use any melee with any build.
So we're just not gonna talk about the fast travel wheel in the first 2 seconds of the video???
It got added in the patch and pretty much everyone I have talked to has either one of these reactions:
1) Ya, I love it
2) THATS A THING?
something that seems obvious now but i didnt know after having mained lavos since your build came out is that you can hold down 2 abilities at once for the immediate combo of them. i thought you had to do them one by one. might be worth mentioning in passing the next time you make a lavos video, for idiots like me
I saw someone, think it was Aznvazions, messing around with this on stream, and i immediately went to build for it. So so fun.
The sobek calls
Ooh, good call. I just put a bunch of forma on Sobek to make a proper Sobek Saryn and was thinking where else I could use it.
I’m thinking for caster Lavos, I’ll stick with Cedo and I’ll give Sobek a shot with a weapon focused build.
I thought the random knockdown bug was just me lol.
Oh my good how did you get so much endo bro?! 700k+!?
The reason I started playing Lavos lol
Mod melee for toxin, infuse electric, you'll proc both electric and corrosive
now u can melee influence armor strip
WE BECOMING MASTER OF ALL ELEMENTS WITH THIS ONE 💥💥💥💥
Sickening Pulse Lavos just got a whole lot stronger.
how does valence formation interact with Cascadia Empowered?
The weapon is triggering a status effect therefore the arcane triggers every hit. The arcane hit is still the fixed value with no status applied.
Essentially if your Weapon is already dealing more than 750 Damage Per Instance.... Then you just Wasted an Arcane Slot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If it's Dealing less than 750 then Exactly how Far Below 750 would you go for *Cascadia Empowered* to be Worth Using? 👀
This is why I love lavos
With all your smarticles why don’t you have Red Veil leveled when you rock with Steel Meridian?
Because that Specific Combo locks you to only 2 out of The 6 Syndicates.
Noobs fall for this Trap 100% of the Time.
How much heat procs do you like?
yes
As a GODFRAME lavos main. I solo profit taker with tenet dual diplos only with this and i love it
i have played this game for 1300 hours and today i learned about the orbiter gear wheel
They introduced this with Dante patch. So very recently.
I'm a lavos main now
Looks like update 35.5.8 has made it so Lavos' 3 no longer reduces cooldown on air support :(
Can't keep Snek Frame Down 👀
