Contagious Bond is so strong it CRASHES | Warframe 

my worries about them over nerfing it like many other things were wrong i suppose, 100 procs is still significant damage but not insanity.

A little testing let me find that mixing this set up with citrine for her gem makes the process faster and still allows to melt groups

Noooooooo, i was wondering why the mod wasn't working as shown. I was using it with Diriga and bought the nautilus just to see if im maybe doing something wrong. it is unfortunate that i couldnt test it before they nerfed it :/

Pretty much as useless as it used to be now. They did all this trouble to rework companions but anytime something is found so that companions aren't just your vacuum slaves they take a baseball bat to it. At this point just get rid of companions and put an innate, vacuum, loot and enemy radar on the players. God knows how many tens of thousands of man hours were spent on the rework when they could have just saved us all the time and gotten rid of them. Much better than killing any semiviable builds. You only MELEED enemies amd this build was able to do no more than a quarter of your kills, if you played normally then it would be lucky to reach 10% and its pretty much worthless in group content. It was only viable in a solo endless mission. But DE cant have anyone not spazzing on their keyboards for 20 mind numbing minutes, so they need to neuter that

@@StevenTLawson i think the reason it was caped at 100 stacks is actually more so it dosent crash the game, also build still does work and as far as any fodder enimies it does alright and starchart it will take on just fine so its still good for say fissures or alerts or nightmare missions, or farming, or a whole list of things just not steel path. now i do wish other companion weapons could do meaningful damage especially the beasts.

Had to go back to see if he had said that. Kinda wish he did, would have been a wonderful opportunity.

when lets game it out plays warframe

Nope, he solved a practical problem but only converted to severe one.

@@xbetax275 Watch his video on how to be the "BESTEST FRIEND" in warframe. He uses that opportunity to great effect there :D

I mean, Rhino's stomp is already strong enough to alter space time within the stomps radius, and limbo just exists

now that i think about it there isn't a warframe wich abilities are based mostly on time right? idk if nova and limbo could count but, it'd be a pretty interesting concept

@@juanix9948 Protea can rewind time with her ult

@@MrMordethrhedan oh yeah i- kinda forgot prtea existed lmao

Mans created a practical problem for them to solve lol

They're gonna find out when they see one of their servers starts having its CPU maxed out for 45 seconds at a time whenever he plays the game!

@WinterAyars Servers are only used for Matchmaking and Progress Saving. No actual in game information runs on the Server... It runs on the Host machine using a P2P Connection... So yeah... They're going to Crash your PC. 🙃

I wish they would nerf it. Right now it just crashes the game...

@@harukun3651 Wish Granted, ig

Surprised he left out this Detail (we know he knows already)

Been this way for a long time not just this update

Sorry if I ask, but this would work for example with verglas and Torid incarnon?

@@Sarazan97 if you have galv chamber on both yeah and you proc it on Torid

@@RossKyle95 very nice!! Thanks 🫡

I member when Sentinel Rivens came out and I was so proud that I made a Diriga "bodyguard" that could reliably oneshot Lvl50 Bombards. Always thought Sentinel Dmg would stay low with how DE stressed that they dont want afk strats. Now here we are xD

​@@IplayTeemoasaWardwhy can't we have semi afk farms? I already do so by playing my switch in solo survival while watching Netflix on the TV lmao. I just find a good hallway and xoris spam in 2-3 directions for an hour or two. Ez money

Yeah probably. That's how I expect them to fix it too. Maybe label the new status procs as coming from the player instead of the companion.

Yeah it shouldn't be Recursive.

Noooooo

I think it’s intended as it loses its potential over spreads and for it to keep spreading like that takes luck and timing , most the time you’ll only get a few spreads at best , mecha set exists already and its aura mod is a bane mode effectively and they didn’t touch it

@@RossKyle95 But the Mecha Set has a significant cooldown and doesn't retrigger itself. Contagious Bond on the other hand might only be spreading 25% of its Damage (half the DoTs with halved Damage) but when 10 guys die from the spread damage it will spread effectively 250% of the original Damage. In most Gamemode it won't matter, it will take luck and timing as you put it, but in dense Gamemodes it just doesn't need either. I comfortably reached 20min in Steel Path Circulus with my Kubrow meme build doing all of the killing, me acting effectively as its support. If I can do that with a meme build and a Kubrow, I fear what AFK farmers can do with an optimized build on a Sentinel or MOA. Only time will tell.

I've not experienced that myself. Either that's a platform/system specific bug that needs reporting or it might be time to upgrade your hardware.

When the mods first came out, I experienced this when a friend used it with an old, (cosmetically) bugged companion. They’re on Xbox and I’m on PC, we both had the stutter- I reported the bug awhile back, hopefully it’s been fixed / will be soon :)

I use Duplex bond all the time, it's not an issue with the game, sorry to break it to you. I'm on PS5, friend is on PS4, another is on PC. None of us have had that issue.

thats on your end bud

This has happened to me and my friends, but when one of us was the host.

Iirv mecha set is bind to kubrow.

@@nguyenhuyduc9151 Sure is, what of it? Contagious bond works on kubrows.

Mag dump status secondary. Sounds fun

wait, that bypass the heat transfer? oh damn

@@JAzure-hk1sx It's normal heat inherit. If the companion heat proc is first, it's the master proc and all other stacks are considered a refresh of that one so the pet gets the kill.

@JAzure-hk1sx Indeed... This is called a "Heat Inherit" Build. It's been in the game for about 3 Years now and in all that Time DE refuses to clarify whether it's a Bug or not. (I say it's a Bug, as did The Kengineer when he first covered it)🤔

@@lookalike4805 huh, it's been that long? I just came back from a 4 year hiatus few months ago, so i guess this's still new to me

enjoy it while you can is all i can say. every part of this is going to get hard nerfed into oblivion.

Radiation

it would remain

By the way, this can be easily fixed by Capping the amount of Status Effects an Enemy can have at a given time

If it's almost crashed Kengineer's PC it probably will get nerfed for crashing PC's in pub missions regardless if it ever get super popular.

@@RiderOmega They nerfed Peculiar Bloom, after all.

@@RiderOmega lol fair point

just before DE decides to nerf it into oblivion where the other sentinel weapons sit.

Me who today got a riven for the gun thats a bane to infested and multishot and ive alreadh had my nautilus building, oh yeah its all coming together

The Bond mods all have entire setups possible around them, and have countless synergies. Even adapting existing builds by leaning into the bond mods at all almost always overclocks the game after a few minutes of gameplay, with the aforementioned Operator synergy being the fastest way of crashing and the only one that crashes everyone instantly. Hopefully there will be a workaround other than nerfing the Bonds into uselessness.

Can you tell me the mod set up it sounds sick

thought the same thing but base cold prevents corrosive heat

In this case I don't think it matters at all since Contagious Bond is already granting you Multitarget Capabilities already.

at least, 5000 stacks of heat, is already enough to kill most enemies, but is a very good hard cap

Mostly yes. Sentinel kills count as kills made by you for a variety of purposes including that arcane

It is... He's creating a Practical Problem instead of Solving one 🙃

is in the Zariman now

I didn't test either of those setups (focusing on damage boosting the sentinel and letting it run the show). Give them a whirl!

It's worth noting that the Blazing Pillage augment would have a lower Heat % than your sentinel's, which might mean a decrease in damage over time in some very niche cases.

I used Hydroid with Kengineer's sentinel+weapon set up. This was Lua Circulus SP. I'd splash Hydroid's 1 a bit to weaken the enemies. I could quite easily control and break the chain by splashing more 1, then wait for it to ramp up again. I'm not 100% sure, but I'd expect full armor strip would break proc combo easier, than removing some armor. The thing is, you don't need to remove armor at all - this was very apparent in my 40 min run, unsure about higher levels.
