So about the acid shells zephyr combo. I don't really have the time to go in, get the gun and do the tests.. so this is all speculation, but it sounds a lot like the interaction that tornados has with electric procs where it grants them the weapons critical stats. And notably, that interaction ONLY happens when you (playing as the zephyr) are the mission host. Its a kinda deceptive, since if you test it in the Simulacrum, you're almost always the host, so it always works there, but if you take it out in the wild, you don't always get those results. If anyone with the gun could test this out for me I'd really appreciate it.

My personal choice is to run the Kuva Sobek as a Cold Progenitor, cold by itself is really nasty as its 50% crit dmg buff really isn't something to scoff at. I am running the weapon a little bit differently as I plan to use it either with Frost or Hydroid to balance out the armor strip requirement. I am running a mostly critical and multi builder kit with no Riven in line up. Shotgun RoF Arcane and ability duration Arcane when shields are up help a bit, but I use Primary Frostbite Arcane with all active cold sources to apply an additional 3% crit chance and 2.25% multi per application of cold up to 40 times. Combine this with Frosts 1 if your looking to freeze targets currently (have to be close to 8 cold to freeze the target reliably (Subsumed ability), after which then you can have a 200% dmg to and 200% crit bonus (Frost Only augment) to that target, meaning its a cryo grenade with extra bitch slap follow up). I use a sentinel to apply cold rapidly as I got lucky and got a cryotra riven for a crap ton of status to max that cold application applying that 40 cold stack with speed (a lot of pets can do this though so don't assume its the only option) (PS: You can change this from Cold to Toxin and run a Toxin special build instead as instead of crit that damage type stacks and causes easy to apply faction damage bonus material working with Primary Blight, works nasty with everyone's favorite toxin frame) For the weapon itself, I argue the only thing to use a Riven for is to add a good chunk of damage and remove the blunt effect for something more useful to save on mod space. The point would be to add status and multi to remove a slot, if it exceeds 90% additional status you can remove Steel Meridian Mod in favor of a more target intense nuker, especially if you pass up Acid shells like I do. I at current use the Steel Meridian mod purely for the 90% status and the extra damage proc as it staggers the enemy and creates moderate stagger effects/openers at times for finishers (parazon is modded to automatically load me a free full magazine without a worry of the reload speed). Now that the fluff is out of the way, the weapon itself is kinda nice, with Galvanized Savvy and Galvanized Hell the shotgun itself can crank its pellet load to insane status and damage potential as by that itself the gun can have close to 20 pellets, add in Vigilante Armaments and the Shattering Justice mod pushes the status to nearly 87% status per pellet (keep in mind this means the damage amps per status type effecting the target and throwing enough pellets means some will crit, vigil will push the crits at random between yellow and orange (with enough puncture its guaranteed to be orange and will become red crits), in steel path after 2 kills the shotgun itself will be superior at amping its damage on target as it applies all its core status effects such as blunt for shield crush and executions, puncture for increased critical chance to target (you can add 80% crit chance against that one target at max stacks, meaning the weapon becomes a 52% crit chance base per pellet, which is scary), and slash procs will be present regardless of having a slash weapon on board so you will ALWAYS have a slash proc to work with after scoring your first kill. Modding I did was as follows (Reference, again 56% cold Progenitor) Arcane: Primary Frostbite 1) Galvanized Savvy 2) Galvanized Hell 3) Shattering Justice 4) Chilling Reload (Or Frigid Blast) 5) Hunter Munitions (increasing the speed of which you apply slash) 6) Faction Mod 7) Vigilante Armaments (Can be swapped with a riven for adding Multi and if you can get lucky punch threw wouldn't be bad, or take the new mod from Nightwave Clip Delegation which amps the status and pellet count to absurd levels) 8) Tainted Shells (Increased odds that the full shells will make target hit the further away the target is, could be switched with a riven if you take clip delegation above) Optional Exillus: If you want a bit more milage and have forma-ed the shit this far I'd say toss in Fatal Acceleration (Increase your total range to take advantage of tighter spread) or Shotgun Ammo Mutation. This should give you 13.5 base pellet count (with Vigilante Armaments, up to 30.3 pellets without arcane, if you have all 40 stacks of arcane and the effects via clip delegation it should be 57.5 total pellets) 69.3% Status chance per pellet base with up too 155.9% (depends on if you add more via a riven with any possible changes decided upon for the last slot as can be higher) total damage per pellet should sit around 192.54 per pellet (+40% per kill up to 2x for each status type counted on target) (Based on the 56% cold and a 60% cold dmg mod) Meaning this will effectively do up to 11,071 dmg per shell (with maxed mods and arcane with no stats on target) after getting amped up with a guaranteed status proc per shell with a 50% chance at a bonus stat per pellet. Toss in puncture stats: Maxing at 80% increased crit chance to target and 25% crit dmg taken + 50% crit damage taken at 9 stacks of cold (again, can be done toxin as well using the other arcane and you just lose a bit of the crit dmg from cold and CC for a higher damage potential over time), a good armor strip and this gun is ready to slump armies after its first magazine

I feel like a potentially strong combo could be Heat+Magnetic, especially with the incoming changes. Heat's only weakness is Proto-Shield which Magnetic more than makes up for, and Magnetic's only weakness is Alloy Armor which Heat proc will shred in half. Assuming these weaknesses stay similar in Jade Shadows with the health type streamlining, I could see Heat+Magnetic being a good combo and I'm looking forward to trying it out on Burston Incarnon.

@@naenae2350 As it is now, corrosive damage is strong against armor stat. No armor means no weakness to corrosive. The rework will make all resistances be universal per faction. Corrosive bonuses will work on both HP and armor, and to everyone in that faction.
@orunsir8394

@@naenae2350 Well I'd hardly say it's useless, it's just that the Corrosive procs have done their job: strip enemy armour. I think without archon shards Corrosive strips up to 80% which doesn't sound great but keep in mind that at full armour strip any health type bonuses are removed. Armour is getting changed in Jade Shadows to make partial armour strip more viable. Cold+Corrosive will be a big benefit of this, since the damage types compliment each other very well and both are very useful status procs too.

I hear HM mentioned here, for obvious reasons, its a good mod. But i saw it does puncture, had insane status chance, why no mention of iternal bleeding? Can you only apply one impact per shot. Is it not per pelet? Oike i actually have no idea how many impact procs and therefore bleed procs via IB it does per shot. I guess ill finally go do nerd stuff in the D-pad room.

I just wish they would ad a QOL bane all mod for anyone that levels all the faction mods of that type (rifle/shotgun and so on) how I see it working is when you have all the shotgun faction mods maxed you get to merge them into a bane all mod for a cost of X, I’m all about any QOL mechanic added to any game and the less you have to swap out mods the better unless you want to pay plat to unlock the loadout slots 4 &5 for each weapon you use, if your a F2P gamers that’s really going to suck.
