my build is based on his 4 because i find it really fun however the energy is a big issue. but this video has given me the motivation to take a second look at it to try and change it lol!
Building for armor on Rhino is a huge waste. Iron Skin's health uses the following expression: Modified Health = (Base Health + (Armor Multiplier × Base Armor × (1 + Armor Mods))) × (1 + Ability Strength) + Absorbed Damage As we can see, armor and strength both ultimately scale up the Base Health of Iron Skin. However, the Absorbed Damage from the first 3 seconds of Iron Skin is just a final addition to this formula and is not involved in any of the armor/strength multiplication. In laymans terms, this means that if you create 4 million iron skin from your whole Ironclad Charge ritual, and then you absorb 50 million damage, that's just a total of 54 million iron skin health. Basically the 50 million doesn't interact with your armor or strength at all. Rhino has an innate ability to scale his survivability to match the enemy level, but by building around armor you're foregoing your scaling potential in exchange for a mere initial "bump". 4 million iron skin health is insignificant when it comes to endurance content. And i know what you'll say: "Endurance content isn't everything. Not everyone is playing to level cap. This is just a build to make you immortal at base-steel-path levels". But the problem with saying that is, ever since the Jade Light eximus was added, an unmodded Rhino can absorb 2+ million health from any Jade Light eximus beam. That's enough to last ages at base steel path levels. Plus, finding a single Jade Light eximus is a viable plan in even more mission types than the whole Ironclad Charge ritual is, as it's not dependent on high spawnrates and tight grouping that can only really be found in Survival missions. Since you're foregoing armor scaling in exchange for enemy damage scaling, you get to subsume your 1 off instead of your 4. This lets you use the Reinforcing Stomp augment which was recently buffed to be a % based heal for your Iron Skin instead of a flat amount, so after you create your 2 million Jade Light Iron Skin, you can perpetually maintain it by % healing with Stomp. Stomp is also just one of the best CC abilities in the game, having a huge base radius and no line of sight restrictions. You can pretty much cast it at any time, even with your Iron Skin at 1% health, and it'll be fully healed instantaneously. We've also freed up our Helminth Slot by foregoing Parasitic Armor, which lets you slot Nourish. This lets you combine the two best buffs in the game, Roar and Nourish, on a single build. Now Rhino gets to build Corrosive on his weapons instead of Viral (since he sources Viral from Nourish). This lets Rhino Corrosive-shard-strip, on top of Roar, on top of Viral. It's insane. The fact you're giving both buffs to the team too is just crazy. Nourish also fuels your energy economy so that you can Stomp way more often. This is how Rhino survives in endurance content- with enemy damage scaling and % healing.
I actually find the passive detrimental in open worlds more often than not because I end up accidentally kill a conservation critter, get screamed at, get depressed and it also distracts me from the objective Also, I'd probably swap out charge instead because of the augment Reinforcing stomp, I was plenty fine in a lvl 300 mission with 13k iron skin, was using nourish to keep my energy up and would stomp whenever I got noticable damage, and even if it runs out overgating and shield gating give you plenty of time to recast iron skin which will probably have even more hp if your previous iron skin got nuked
I tried similar thing years ago... It's a pain in the ass to setup and incosistent because of mob density etc. In short do NOT waste resource on that build...
This is a really bad build ngl... The power strength is good but the duration is really low and you don't need the armor. Rhinos iron skin is affected by enemy damage so it scales infinitely without armor mods, putting armor on is a waste. If you don't want to reapply iron skin a lot you can also use the augment for his 4 which "heals" your iron skin.
Iron skin scales of of armor aswell , with this build you almost have no need to cast iron skin and when you do it won't take longer then 40sec to get millions.To each there own i think the build is good😁
Yea Rhino can't match Revenant, But after playing both, Revenant is too boring because he's too immortal. Rhino is more fun because his iron skin requires more effort to maintain
