I'm fairly active on reddit and this channel (alongside the kengineer) are the two main ones I now recommend for all players really, not just new players. Great job, keep it up.
"When was the last time you've ever used these augments?" I use Shocking Speed on my Volt, makes low level relic runs quicker, and helps get the Archon Stretch regen started earlier, and the fact that it spreads procs makes Violet shards surprisingly good for it.
Curious if this augment would work on her. I'm afraid the cats do their armor stripping much too slow compared to the usual movement speed with Valkyr.
Issue is you need 2 green shards which means 3x lower crit damage modifier and it takes 7s to hit the 14 statuses to strip. It's nice RP but just building her properly for damage will kill anything in less than 7. Take a look at the mission footage and how few red bars there are on those Grineer, even with the speed aura up...
@@monkaeyes you couldn't be more wrong. I play a lot of Valkyr who isn't even close to being considered "meta".

I appreciate that while you are a genius when it comes to warframe builds, you also properly credit others when you showcase builds that weren't your idea. You are an absolutely legendary youtuber
I'm now interested in making a Khora build with this Augment, putting Duplex Bond on my Vulpa/Kavat, and then just running around with an army of 10 cats
You're the absolute GOAT of showcasing fun/cool warframe builds and it's great to see how much you've improved when it comes to your delivery in the video itself. In older videos I would usually get lost by how fast paced everything was haha. Finally a build that will make me enjoy volt. Catboy Volt!
The triple Augment looks so cursed, but oh boy is it unique and the wiggly line cats that CC, damage and strip a room looks so good! I wonder who else would benefit from this. Maybe Atlas? Melee Crescendo Ceramic Dagger as a stat stick, and cats for armor strip? Does Dagath/Kullervo linking spread the curse as well? Ulfruns Decent Voruna over her 3 (I usually cant keep it up during her 4 somehow)? Looks like I have to test a lot of stuff tomorrow in addition to Helldivers Warbond. Exciting!
Okay, Catlas is kind of funny in simulacrum! Having 12x permanently + some CC and armor strip from cats is good! Mod space is very tight though. Dagath does not spread the cat curse, so I assume Kullervo is the same. Lastly, Cat Voruna also feels pretty good! A non-channeling Helminth that she can use during her 4, because the cats just exist. Also, her 2 status spread works nicely with the cats corrosive application!
@@00Grimreaper00wouldn't effect blade storm since slash already ignores armor, also bladestorm kpm is so slow that even if the augment did do something it wouldn't be faster then manually just shooting at it.
I wonder if khora would work, for maximum cats. The enemies get bunch up by ensnare, then kitties spread scarabs through them all for armor strip. Would the kitties be able to scarab the dome?
Okay, can't test it myself yet as I'm away from home, so I'll leave it here as a question: do the Swarm Kavats count as summoned allies for Theorem Infection and is their damage buffed by it?
I feel things seeing how Brozime gave up on 50 kpm all disappointed and my man here was not satisfied and kept researching until he got at least some serviceable kpm. (it's 100 15:12).
Chill people these creators are for different target audiences. Azn is way more in depth and for the advanced player as a lot of builds require max mods and all mods arcanes etc. Brozime is one of the best creators for a newer player to watch that’s his niche.
@@Shadybornsinner You know what's worse than not knowing? Believing you know something that is actually wrong. People that watch Brozime learn WRONG information about the game.

@@hypertips you can make claims about misinformation but I highly doubt you have a video or instance specifically proving g your point 🥱 the fact that you think new players are even playing the same game as us just shows how out of touch you are to the new player experience
Any more informations about sand kavats? Is Rhino roar can buff they're DMG is they DMG is affected by ability Strenght, pet mods, are they affected by ability duration??
I was considering using this on baruuk for an endless lullaby build entirely because forced finishers are kind of annoying to come by, but the damage buff does make some sense with this
Volt and Inaros were my top favorite frames in the olden days of Warframe. Really cool to see an interesting and fun merger of them here. I might have to copy this build and make a Pharaoh Volt.
Man its a shame that you cant subsume over the 4th without losing 3 cats. I wanted to try this on Voruna just cuz it sounds thematically hilarious having 5 cats commanded by a wolf frame
@@rowankeltizar5961 Late to the party but using this right now and it's absolutely incredible. It's convinced me to invest in getting her the shards to fully strip armor via corrosive procs. The cats are just perpetual, man. You finisher to get the first one and occasionally when it's quiet for a bit and no enemies spawn you have to refresh them, but when there are enemies on screen your cats just *keep on spawning* whether or not you're using finishers. Combine with a Beast companion with Duplex Bond and you're basically impossible to hit because of all the extra bodies on the screen and the constant shock proc stuns as all of these melee creatures run around and zap shit. It's phenomenal.
I have a terrible attention span for shieldgate builds and occasionally am messing up and wondering if theres anywhere else I can off-load a bit more survivability onto as a buffer or for the health tank variant. Are there any melee builds with health regen that would still melee influence well? Or any melee fortitude builds that would be decent enough to miss out on melee influence?
something thats really cool is if u die with the cats active they stay till u leave the mission but they dont spread their ability but its still cool because all of them plus a cat with duplex bond and khoras cat u can have well over 30 cats lmao
I made a version of this using Wisp. The synergy between this, motes, and breach surge is crazy if you want dumb levels of ability damage. Managed to hit 38M from abilities only on corrupted heavy goons.
Unless there is something specific in the code that causes Shocking Speed to proc the spreading, there are a couple other frames that should be able to pull this off. - Heat elemental ward (Everlasting Ward optional but highly recomended) Should work on both Chroma and more importantly Inaros himself. Another important note, the damage radius of the heat aura is locked at 5m; however the "buff shareing" aura is 16m with range scaling. - Wisp's shock motes may also work though not being able to subsume over 4 without gutting your cat number is... rough. That aside, shock motes would technicly prime targets slower then auras, but have the potential for hugely increased range. Not to mention, if you have all your cats buffed, thats 15 targets per pulse. - Gara's Shatter Shield may work but trying to get the buff on a cat is a whole different story...
Knew this whole interaction on the subsume but I completely spaced on the speed buffing. I'm glad at least SOME frames can do this now because I noticed this interaction when I was messing around with caliban awhile back. His summons are just like any other spectre, cats included. And his summons kind of fucking wreck if you can summon them on top of a wisp haste mote and buff them with something like roar/nourish. What a crazy time to be playing warframe, inaros useful AND his subsume serves some vague purpose.
You said the swarm spread doesn't work on any other frame. But I'm curious as to why it wouldn't work on something like Wisps shock mote. It works with sentinels so I don't see why it shouldn't work with sand kavats
why is it that I cannot perform finishers with Desiccation? I gives me the little arrow but nothing I press activates the finisher? I've tried melee and my 'interact" button
I've been running this but I don't use cat shields, use Cap augment with the 4 for perma overshield, as long as you can kill quick enough to get energy drops it's sustainable.
Very nice build, you should try it with Wisp. The motes applies to the sand kavats… You end up with 5 speeding sand kavats shocking everything , stunning and amor striping everyone
i have a question can you replace augur message and augur reach and cataclizing shield with volt 4 augment and rolling guard and you have a free slot to for shield income or it would be to much energy to use?
Yes that can work, there is a bit of freedom there. Also depending on how willing you are to put up with the 4's cast time. Survivability can be done a few ways, even with health tanking if you drop Cata/Message/Reach for Adap/Vitality/Stretch. Energy was never really an issue. Energize was also kind of a flex slot.
This is the 3rd guide I've watched on this cat build, I'm not sure what I'm missing but these cats just don't sustain. I can get one, sometimes two of them and then they're just gone. Exact same mods, stats are number for number the same. The build all makes sense, and the self replicating cats is a sound theory with scarab swarm.. but they're either despawning way to rapidly (2 to 3 seconds) or they just aren't being created. Still like the video, and am a huge fan of these creative playstyles.
so i had pocket sand on rev as a meme origonally was over the 4 then switched to 3 and was able to get stable life support and kpm and well i somehow bugged out like 7 sand kavats
Glad i wasn't the only one using and experimenting with this. Also, heads up, this is bugged on frames with no energy pool (Lavos/Hildryn) and they can only summon 2 cats total. edit: i should watch videos before i comment lol
spectre kills not counting towards the acolyte spawn really hurts those builds. Been trying it with a few frames. Never occured to me to try it with volt tho :D
My first thought was to combine with the craziness that was MCGamerCZs Swarm build. Then my second thought was, combine that with Khora. 5 Scarab Cats, Venari, And 4 Hounds from Duplex Bond. Can get your stripping from the Scarab Cats and subsume over Venaris ability and still keep her, and get a bunch of priming potential from the Hound. Might even be viable as an AFK build TBH. I gotta subsume an Inaros and try this out now XD ~edit, just though, Scarab Cats + Duplex Hounds + Nekros Shield of Shadows.... Anyone wanna build an army? lol
Already thought of a interesting idea toxin elemental ward? Doesn’t it infinite scaling the issue historically being how weak the radius and armor which the cats help with
Cats only need to spread swarm for new cats to spawn. They do not need to kill. So it is as infinitely scaling as the actual warframe and loadout you bring
hey I'm still using shocking speed just for proc archon stretch while speed running i am using inaros helmith for banshee just to proc / get crescendo buff up to 12x combo but thanks for this video i did not know you can buff cats
@@Argomundo capacitance is far slower due to cast time Aura slot is empty anyways Speed is way cheaper than discharge You're not wasting any slots with BR and you're advising to use a 4th augment What slot would you replace with capacitance? If it's catalytic shields, you're going to run into partial shield gate issues and go down way more often I'm just confused because everything about using capacitance is just worse than shield gating regularly.
@@RapTapTap69 Since were building range anyways, capacitance will give you full shields anyways. Its additional cc. You can use Archon Stretch instead of reach, and dont have to use the other Augur mods either. And catalytic shields is an extreme waste of a mod slot.
@@Argomundo you don't need archon stretch with 300 energy and energize If you replace catalytic with capacitance you're using the same amount of slots for a far worse shield gate Discharge is a full body several second animation while speed has no cast time or animation. There's literally no reason to run capacitance over a regular shield gate. Heck you'll shieldgate with a cast of discharge with the Brief respite build as well so if you desperately want to use discharge as your shield gate you can do it without the augment
My special chroma build Growing power Cunning drift All umbral mods Flow Overextended Continuity Blind rage Guardian armor Arcane energize and molt augmented This build is meant to be played with a team or a roaming pet like a hound, kubrow, or kavat. Its hard to die with this build, but if your solo its easier if youre not paying attention. I took off his first for infested mobility. With this amount of range, his 4 is usefull especially for mobile defenses. Pop it down, wait for it to scream and pick it up again. My archon shards are meant for strength and casting speed but aren't needed. Be careful with aoe weapons, no primed sure footed. Enjoy😊
For those looking for (any) health tanking set-ups, arcane blessing and health conversion are totally slept up HC gives flat base armour, up to 1450 and AB gives another 1200 health on top. With those two alone, it's almost enough for banshee to walk through netracells. (I personally find you need 1 more layer of protection, ie augur mods, brief respite, resonator, etc Throw on equilibrium or a purple shard, have an appropriate companion and you have substantial, warframe agnostic health tanking. Don't quote me but iirc that's more bulk than all 3 umbrals combined give you
i love your videos but sometimes i feel like you put too much info into 1 video i was looking at dagath build video of yours and iwhen throu the builds one by one to understand them but i could barely retain any of it and had to rewatch multiple times just to understand a part of it

Very nice build, you should try it with Wisp. The motes applies to the sand kavats… You end up with 5 speeding sand kavats shocking everything , stunning and amor striping everyone
How is it possible to equip an augment mod for Inaros onto Volt? Did I miss something lol? Did Volt have Inaros’ Helminth ability?
That’s exactly it
Isn't that easier to maintain on Wisp with her Shock mote?
Scarab spread should also work on Nourish Viral pulse, or very dumb idea, on Wisp shock motes
Unfortunately, the cats cannot be “hit” when shot at, and cannot trigger nourish pulse. I do not know about shock motes though.
very nice build 👍
i have a question can you replace augur message and augur reach and cataclizing shield with volt 4 augment and rolling guard and you have a free slot to for shield income or it would be to much energy to use?
and since you use the panzher you have more health orbits and the mast mod can be equilibrium and replace energize with steadfast for more consistency
Yes that can work, there is a bit of freedom there. Also depending on how willing you are to put up with the 4's cast time. Survivability can be done a few ways, even with health tanking if you drop Cata/Message/Reach for Adap/Vitality/Stretch.
Energy was never really an issue. Energize was also kind of a flex slot.
You should make a settings video, your game looks amazing !
mabe better on excalibut/umbra becoz is alredy dowing finishers?
now I wonder if this build can benefit from theorem arcanes
This is the 3rd guide I've watched on this cat build, I'm not sure what I'm missing but these cats just don't sustain. I can get one, sometimes two of them and then they're just gone. Exact same mods, stats are number for number the same. The build all makes sense, and the self replicating cats is a sound theory with scarab swarm.. but they're either despawning way to rapidly (2 to 3 seconds) or they just aren't being created. Still like the video, and am a huge fan of these creative playstyles.
does this work on chroma's elemental ward?
what are the yellow archon shards used in the build?
Most of the time he uses yellow casting speed.
In the few minutes you played, you had to use shield gating around 61 times and died 3 times. Looks like a great build and fun gameplay
Thanks, I’m surprised you counted it all, shows that shield gating that many times means you need the energy to sustain it :)
What about Titania, should work with razor wing blitz
What about Chroma, unfortunately you’d have to take off probably his one, but couldn’t he do everlasting ward and apply that to the cats?
acording to someone in these comments ward doesnt buff em
@@noahedenborg4221 Yeah I tested it, that’s disappointing.
The first thing am thinking is Khora.
Add an additional cat to the cat setup, and get more cats to the cat lady.
Khora + venari + cavat + duplicate bond + desecrate + augment = 10 x cat party
Shocking speed is used on void cascade volt builds
so i had pocket sand on rev as a meme origonally was over the 4 then switched to 3 and was able to get stable life support and kpm
and well i somehow bugged out like 7 sand kavats
inb4 patch im going to wait until to see if this will be nerfed for bugged interaction or anything
I have done it with my Hydroid awhile ago for a fun build, it was pretty good. Too OP tbh
Glad i wasn't the only one using and experimenting with this. Also, heads up, this is bugged on frames with no energy pool (Lavos/Hildryn) and they can only summon 2 cats total. edit: i should watch videos before i comment lol
spectre kills not counting towards the acolyte spawn really hurts those builds. Been trying it with a few frames. Never occured to me to try it with volt tho :D
Acolytes just spawn based on a timer. Kills don't affect acolyte spawns
14:30 ... or the build is bad or you are bad ... you almost die like 4 times (and die 3 ) in a couple of minute gameplay in a base level survival O.o.
shield gate is shield gate for a reason. you forget to cast, you die. It has always been like this.
Will this make me no longer regret building inaros prime?
It didn't 😢
Have they fixed the bug with the 4th slot yet?
Nope
My first thought was to combine with the craziness that was MCGamerCZs Swarm build.
Then my second thought was, combine that with Khora. 5 Scarab Cats, Venari, And 4 Hounds from Duplex Bond.
Can get your stripping from the Scarab Cats and subsume over Venaris ability and still keep her, and get a bunch of priming potential from the Hound. Might even be viable as an AFK build TBH.
I gotta subsume an Inaros and try this out now XD
~edit, just though, Scarab Cats + Duplex Hounds + Nekros Shield of Shadows.... Anyone wanna build an army? lol
Already thought of a interesting idea toxin elemental ward? Doesn’t it infinite scaling the issue historically being how weak the radius and armor which the cats help with
You missed the 2 Comments that Said it Doesn't Work 👀
do wisp shock motes work on cats? that would make them big aoe right?
also, this kinda goes infinite if the cats can keep killing? or you need to execute often?
Cats only need to spread swarm for new cats to spawn. They do not need to kill. So it is as infinitely scaling as the actual warframe and loadout you bring
I put this on khora while i also run a diversified denial/duplex bond hound
ALL THE PETS
hey I'm still using shocking speed just for proc archon stretch while speed running
i am using inaros helmith for banshee just to proc / get crescendo buff up to 12x combo
but thanks for this video i did not know you can buff cats
Theorem infection would be cool to incorporate.
Very nice synergy. I'm wondering if this works with elemental ward as well.
Edit: nope doesn't work.
wait augment mods works for other frames
Always did
Any helminth ability that has and augment works
is this still a thing or has this been nerfed ?
Nova inherit?
New gyre helminth?
Cats with chroma ?
I think you shouldve just ran capacitance instead of trying to force in brief respite.
Much rather use the far easier shield gate and not give up another mod slot to an augment.
@@RapTapTap69 capacitance is simpler, and youre wasting far more mod slots with brief respite build
@@Argomundo capacitance is far slower due to cast time
Aura slot is empty anyways
Speed is way cheaper than discharge
You're not wasting any slots with BR and you're advising to use a 4th augment
What slot would you replace with capacitance?
If it's catalytic shields, you're going to run into partial shield gate issues and go down way more often
I'm just confused because everything about using capacitance is just worse than shield gating regularly.
@@RapTapTap69 Since were building range anyways, capacitance will give you full shields anyways. Its additional cc. You can use Archon Stretch instead of reach, and dont have to use the other Augur mods either. And catalytic shields is an extreme waste of a mod slot.
@@Argomundo you don't need archon stretch with 300 energy and energize
If you replace catalytic with capacitance you're using the same amount of slots for a far worse shield gate
Discharge is a full body several second animation while speed has no cast time or animation.
There's literally no reason to run capacitance over a regular shield gate. Heck you'll shieldgate with a cast of discharge with the Brief respite build as well so if you desperately want to use discharge as your shield gate you can do it without the augment
does this build still work?
yes
My special chroma build
Growing power
Cunning drift
All umbral mods
Flow
Overextended
Continuity
Blind rage
Guardian armor
Arcane energize and molt augmented
This build is meant to be played with a team or a roaming pet like a hound, kubrow, or kavat. Its hard to die with this build, but if your solo its easier if youre not paying attention. I took off his first for infested mobility. With this amount of range, his 4 is usefull especially for mobile defenses. Pop it down, wait for it to scream and pick it up again. My archon shards are meant for strength and casting speed but aren't needed. Be careful with aoe weapons, no primed sure footed.
Enjoy😊
build is cool, idea is cool, but is just not efficient on public session and i dont really play solo, so its a no go
Can't wait to make my on call crewmate hunt an eidolon for me (if the attenuation thing works for all enemies)
i am not an expert on the topic but i believe eidolon hunters already use that
I just want a run and gun volt.
Unfortunally this using bug and maybe fixed. this fact just disappeard me and I hope it`ll one of specifications.
Hmmm this on ash 🤔
Pair it with an innodem and volt becomes Lion-O from the Thundercats :v
For those looking for (any) health tanking set-ups, arcane blessing and health conversion are totally slept up
HC gives flat base armour, up to 1450 and AB gives another 1200 health on top. With those two alone, it's almost enough for banshee to walk through netracells. (I personally find you need 1 more layer of protection, ie augur mods, brief respite, resonator, etc
Throw on equilibrium or a purple shard, have an appropriate companion and you have substantial, warframe agnostic health tanking.
Don't quote me but iirc that's more bulk than all 3 umbrals combined give you
Im sad i was gonna run this on hildryn man
I put it on nekros complete army of the dead. Shadows of the dead plus 5 cats
khora with this... so many kitties...
i love your videos but sometimes i feel like you put too much info into 1 video i was looking at dagath build video of yours and iwhen throu the builds one by one to understand them but i could barely retain any of it and had to rewatch multiple times just to understand a part of it
