Warframe | Concentrated Arrow is AoE but Fun 

Edit - a few things I forgot to point out in the video: firestorm and primed firestorm work for this augment, and scale additively with range mods. The explosion also isn't only blast damage, it just has 0% status chance and can't proc anything other than the guaranteed Impact (as far as I've tested at least). Also, you can abuse well of life to easily spam headshots on a single enemy.

you'd think a high damage no falloff AOE weapon would be meta, but it requires headshots so the monkey meta slaves refuse to use it cause it requires braincells

This is basically the only balanced aoe because even the loss in single target damage is perfectly made up with the aoe. We don't all of them to be a room deletion device

When someone takes the braindead meta and makes it rewarding, thoughtful and fun. Sounds good to me

Let’s turn Warframe into a MW2 lobby Sounds good to me

It's crazy because for a stealth frame she has 3+ completely unique mega DPS builds that can go way past Steel Path: - Conc.Arrow + Internal Bleeding (The explosion has innate impact procs but with critical delay it only gets the bow to exactly 2.5 firerate so unfortunately you don't get the bonus 70% bleed chance without wasting a mod slot on another -fr mod, also falls off eventually) - Navigator with Nataruk / Tenet Plasmor / Glaive with the augments giving a flat 50% base cc to give the weapons ludicrous number (especially with stuff like gas for leaving lingering clouds that deal millions of DPS but I guess people think it requires too much attention span to guide bullets to your enemies) - Multishot Artemis + Xata's Whisper (The original video by AznvasionPlays is called 32x Damage Artemis but it basically boils down to, if you have a single target you want killed ie. Demolysts you apply xata's void bullet succ to their head, shred armor with vastilok / sarpa shattering impact, go invis + drop an empowered dashwire to boost headshot / cd multipliers, ideally have galv chamber stacked to max, and then delete whatever enemy you want at whatever level, minus the infinite amount of spaghetti that you have to learn before doing it successfully) I just find it so funny that everyone sees Ivara as the 'spy only' stealth frame when the potential of her kit allows for so much creativity and flexibility to do whatever type of content you want, especially when all 3 of these builds are as fun as they are.

Warframe | Concentrated Arrow is AoE but Fun

as an ivara concentrated arrow main you cover so much detail that isn’t covered in most concentrated arrow builds, i see so many concentrated arrow builds that use elements which as you covered, don’t actually prick with the explosion! something i use for my build is internal bleeding and hunter munitions as you can double dip in slash procs that way

ill admit,the idea of explosive headshot weapons sounds more fun than m1 nuking...

Yeah concentrated arrow is really fun, especially if you like actually needing to hit targets

0:12 this is heresy, glomping (uwu) is SSS tier

*Me when I hear "Impact Proc:"*

MAKE SURE to include that the AOE range mods DO affect the aoe of C arrow. allowing you to skimp out on a decent amount of range, or to go full monke and have a 25m aoe.

That's always been one of my biggest problems with Warframe; in other games, the process of rewarding players with a higher yield of results for something as simple as clicking accurately on the enemy's head feel like a direct progression, gives players a simple goal to master, and feels cathartic.. whereas in Warframe, while many of the weapons feel good to use, the best way to often use them/the best weapons in the game just feel like you are shooting in the vague direction of a room, and everything therein dies with next to no input from the player. Unless I'm relic farming, I have a hard time playing with other players, 'cause it feels like I'm getting to play less of the game due to someone spamming an "I win" button.

Super impressive gameplay at 4:40!

The exalted weapon video has become your hydroid prime trailer

I've used this augment a lot in the past but never updated my build to use Internal Bleeding! I also didn't know the Eclipse trick, time to make a new loadout!

I’m so excited!! I love this augment, skill bramma all day!

When you play warframe alot the usual meta build gets boring real quick, funky but effective build like this are breath of fresh air to alot of people

So I realise it's been well over a year since this was posted, but figured I'd point out something else that's kind of neat regarding this augment. If you put Archon Flow on Ivara, and have any Cold damage at all modded on the weapon, despite the fact that the explosion is doing pure Blast damage, it will still trigger Archon Flow's energy orbs if the explosion manages to kill anything. I believe it HAS to be the direct explosion doing the kill, not slash procs, but you'll probably get some fodder enemies that'll be dying in this manner, so the extra energy from Archon Flow can help out a good bit.

Since bullying apparently works, I should now start a counterbully campaign since I missed the premiere when you moved the time. If your takeaway from this is that you will always make people unhappy no matter what you do, you're god damn right

Thank you coolkid369 for this amazing video I wuvb you

Welp, time to go try this. I love Ivara but I’ve had a lot of people basically tell me she’s not worth the forma

Bruh I was gonna watch this before I went to bed but nah you got it premiering at 1 AM. See y’all in the morning I guess.

I DO infact like to get me some sweet headshot action. this video has triggered my neuron activity.

randomly had this vid pop up in my recommended feed and I must say I'm intrigued that said take my sub as I go re-forma my Artemis Bow for the first time since I picked the game back up 4 years ago lol

The furry is back

Btw, Zymos and Pax Seeker are both very powerful AoE tools which also reward headshots. Great for if you want that extra effort in your nevertheless effective nukes.

Only factual statements were spoken in this audio visual presentation.

This build finally works again!

Hysterical assault lets you have .5 more seconds of invincibility when using a weapon outside of hysteria so it can be used for cheesing.

You have one of the most beautiful Ivara I ever did see. 😍

Whats the Galvanized mod on the bow? Chamber?

Very well done video. Thanks.

I like hysterical assault though :C Gives Valk some good movement and combines nicely with her prolonged paralysis and tharros strike

Blast rework should make this interesting.

Concentrated Arrow combined with sleep arrow or snare helminth ability for grouping with Galvanized mods equipped on Artimes Bow = bye bye Acolytes. You don't even need that much strength. You lots of range however.

Wait, MWG didn't similar build + well of life? (meme builds) About AoE, I don't remember but obex had a mod, similar to jat kitag and sobek PD: good video

Fun fact: I dunno if this has changed since the release of the video but the explosion DOES use elemental mods. Due to slash not being that effective against shields, I have been running Infected Clip on the bow. The explosion does health damage directly to the foes, ignoring shields, and I do have Galvanized Aptitude on it as well for a pretty okay chance for toxin procs to work on killing any survivors of the explosion. I'm five forma deep on my artemis bow prime, four forma deep on my ivara prime, and have a collective 53.9% of my total play time on ivara/ivara prime, so I'm definitely an Ivara main. I never knew that quirk on prowl + eclipse though! I usually actually use Empower instead for a flat +50% permanent bonus on her bow activation, because I actually run a negative power strength build for the sake of being able to have max range + high duration/efficiency + augments. Between Empower, Zenurik's Hardened Wellspring, Molt Augmented, Molt Vigor, and the new Archon shards, I'm hitting stupid high perma-bonuses to the bow's damage without needing to finagle around Eclipse's quirks. In fact, I don't use Prowl on the build, because being able to pop a stealth bubble to remove status effects with the Empowered Quiver augment and use it for cover is far more serotonin-inducing. 😉

I have lost early access

this is why im a drakgoon enjoyer, Fomorian accelerant trickshots my beloved its also genuinely a sidegrade to launchers for just clearing low level content and taking out obstacles like sensor bars or electric traps or cameras

Commenting before I lose early access

I haven't used this build in a while. It's still good to be fair.

Im wondering if elementalist mods would make this augment more powerful now. Gotta give it a try!

Pls do a sick 2013 montage of our trickshots

i had no idea people thought this was bad lmao. most of my clannies said it was pretty good if you build for it

"Before we talk about Concentrated Arrow, we should also talk about-" PARALLEL WORLDS!! "...artemis bow." Oh, yeah. I-I knew that.

I like your videos fr

I'd love to see a video about every exalted weapon.

Wait, I come from the future. Did the "exalted weapon video" ever come out?

so no need for multishot if its only one arrow?

The only issue with this augmant is that we already have like 4 explosive bows and only one shotgun bow

Almost makes me want to play Ivara. Hell, fuck y'all I WILL play her now

Tbh i run this from time to time but use ensnare since i cant be bothered to aim for half of the games content

Eyyyy Let's gooo

this is the mod when i really need to proc millions slash proc on 20m+ radius...

Hi, i m really new to the game and i was looking for a build/frame and general gameplay that rewards you when you actually hit a cool shot instead of just spamming abilities. I still don t understand a lot of the info you shared in this video, but this build/frame looks like it may be what i am looking for. I wonder if anything changed since the release of this video, and if there are general suggestions for what i d like to play i will be happy to hear those out! Ty

3:03 anywhere I can read about this?

So what you're saying is that I can have _FUN_ in warframe? Blasphemy.

Ivara in general rewards you for putting effort into using her entire kit proactively so it's only natural people will just sit on their ass and stay invisible 99.9% of the time :/

Hunter Munitions and Internal Bleeding are still not working on Artemis Bow. Lol

No build? I really love this video but there's no build on screen

I always have this augment on my Ivara. Fun >>>> boring meta bullshit

I just wish headshots were not required, because if you DON'T hit the head, you deal significantly less damage than her bow without the augment, since you only fire a single arrow. If it was hitscan i could see myself using it but weapons that have travel time are usually a no no for me now, too used to explosives and chaining weapons to hit enemy heads lol.

How does one tell when eclipse is at max?

The cofi is pronounced as coffee except with an I

Quick question, Does Galvanized Aptitude work on the explosion of the Concentrated Arrow? I know the know the normal Artemis Bow works with Galvanized Aptitude but not sure if it works on Concentrated Arrow.

Also would a crit/hunter munition be worth it? Because of the increased crit stats Or would it not proc it at all?

Stynax doesn’t have an exulted spear 😢

you know, i like this... tho im a switch player so hehe pulling of a normal headshot for me is like pulling a trickshot for a pc player xddd cheesing the game like this sounds fun... and yeah the head of the infested sometimes are something. didnt know that about eclipse, cool. Edit: just tried next day... theres is something im doing wrong because i cant nuke 180 corrupted heavy gunners on simulacrum XD

How do people not try to aim for the head? We need Blacks ops 2 to be a requirement for the braindead meta monkeys so we can teach them the number 1 rule of shooters

future proofing this game is an art one that DE has yet to learn, but that's okay tbh this is a pve game

I play ivara with negative range do this doesnt really fit in

How dare you flame Hyterical Assault. its the only reason to even pick valkyr. its Amar mod set, but on crack! also i love being challanged for my damage output. having to hit headshots is nice. especially being this rewarded for it, is so much fun and nice. I swear, I fully agree, i hate the brainless aoe meta. I love this build, for ages now, but i didnt know about this high-end combo to make it viable again in SP

Do a video of Warframes you should not use to fight liches/sisies

Where did you got that ephemera?

What’s the bow build I can’t see it clearly

Blast rework should make this interesting

Does anyone know how this performs on bosses?

Don't forget to send forma to Bluprint27 on PC

Well AOE is going to be nerfed in the upcoming future DE is working on it as we used to nerfs :/

This build... yes THIS BUILD is what I think AOE needs for warframe. You want to clear a room? Play better.... Get those hit shots. Stop hitting the ground and killing things. Stop doing one build and breeze through the game. Make more mods and arcanes that reward good gameplay and good aim or good comboing. Imagine how great it would be to melee some enemies then shoot an enemy, causing massive damage and keeping hte combo up would keep the damage up. Or having an abillity that makes other spots on enemies to become "HEADSHOTS" too...(Think like doing a synthesis mission and having to scan multiplue points but now that code turns those spots into headshot damage). The game would be more fun in my opinion.

This build ain't beating goku tho

Build?

Does it proc viral if you use nourish on ivara?

get real

Mod loadout plz

I just dumped 6 forma on my Ivara (3 on her, 3 on bow) just to play with this build and oh dear lord it is amazing. The headshot trickshot potential is amazing and I get rewarded with 900k slash ticks.

Why do you have every non prime warframe as well

How to you get the mod though

Who thinks concentrated arrow is bad, I've never heard that take

this was so much fun. thanks for bringing this up.
