Alright, guys, so I’ve been messing around with Draco in Warframe, trying to find a build that just absolutely shreds. And let me tell you, after a lot of trial and error, I think I’ve finally cracked the code. I’m gonna walk you through my whole process, from the initial struggles to the final, glorious setup.
The Grind Begins
First, I started with the basics, you know? Throwing on some Serration, Split Chamber – the usual suspects for boosting damage. I figured, “Hey, more damage equals more dead enemies, right?” Well, yeah, but it wasn’t enough. Draco’s enemies are tough, especially those Grineer heavy units. I was getting okay results, but I wasn’t melting faces like I wanted to.
Experimentation Time
So, I started digging around online, looking at forums and videos. I saw a bunch of different approaches. Some people were focusing on status effects, others were going all-in on critical hits. I even saw one crazy build that used a bunch of fire rate mods. I decided to try a bit of everything.
- Status Build: I slapped on some status mods, trying to proc a ton of Viral and Corrosive. It worked… sort of. It took a while to strip armor, and I felt like I was waiting around for procs too much.
- Crit Build: Okay, this was more fun. I used Point Strike and Vital Sense, and yeah, those red crits were satisfying. But it felt inconsistent. Sometimes I’d one-shot things, other times it felt like I was tickling them.
- Fire Rate Madness: This was… interesting. I used Shred and Speed Trigger. It sounded like a machine gun, but the damage per shot was so low. Definitely not the way to go.
The “Aha!” Moment
After all that experimenting, I realized I needed a balance. I needed some crit, some status, and a good base damage. And then it hit me: Hunter Munitions! That mod that gives you a chance to proc Slash on a critical hit. Slash damage ignores armor – that’s the key!
The Final Build
Here’s what I ended up using, and man, this thing wrecks:
- Serration: Gotta have that base damage.
- Split Chamber: More bullets, more damage.
- Point Strike: Boosts that critical chance.
- Vital Sense: Makes those crits hit even harder.
- Hunter Munitions: The star of the show. Turns those crits into armor-ignoring Slash procs.
- Infected Clip & Stormbringer:For that sweet, sweet viral, will increase the damage that health takes.
- Malignant Force & Rime Rounds:We need some status, and extra Viral procs never hurt!
Putting it to the Test
I took this build into a high-level Grineer survival mission, and oh boy. It was a bloodbath. Those heavy gunners that used to give me trouble? Melted. Bombards? Gone in seconds. The combination of Viral procs (to increase the damage health takes) and Slash procs (to bypass their armor) was just devastating.
So, there you have it. My journey to finding the best Draco build. It took some time, some experimentation, and a whole lot of frustration, but it was worth it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go shred some more Grineer.
