sorry im quite new to the game and i recently got octavia can you give me a general idea on what to build on her?

[GnarlsDarkley]

Energy Siphon/Corrosive Projection
Narrow Minded, Primed Con, Primed Flow, Streamline, Stretch, Transient Fortitude, Quick Thinking/Vitality, Intensify.
For Exilus go either Power or Cunning Drift.
Song: sth fast paced (there should be a note in every percussions and melody). easiest way to get the buffs
Wrecks (non armored) enemies in seconds, till every level

edit: 4 Forma build

[Nayroy]

stamina mods and shield mods

range is the most important stat for her. get like 150 duration and max range, then power.

[StormX]

Try to get near the following stats

Range......: 160%
Strength...: 95%
Duration...: 220%
Efficiency.: 115%


Octavia is a well balanced Frame. Your 1 only deals [Damage Taken x Multiplyer] so it is good to have a maxed duration.
My 4 Forma Octavia has a 45s duration for 1 + 2 + 3 and a 65s duration for the Ult.
Max duration also helps with the Buffs from your 3. From me, Players get 32s stealth.

-----------------------------------------
Edit: My Octavia (4Forma)

Duration: 227%
Primed Continiuty (max + v Slot)
Narrow Minded (max + d Slot)

Efficiency: 130%
Streamline (max)

Range: 169%
Overextended (max)
Stretch (max + ~ Slot)

Strength:110%
Transient Fortitude (max + v Slot)
Power Drift (max)

Extra:
Primed Flow (max + ~ Slot) = 638 Max Power
Vitality (rank 8 + d Slot)
Energy Syphon

-----------------------------------------
Mallet: 17m Range // 45s Duration // 2,75x Multiplikator
Resonator: 45s Duration
Metronome: 45s Duration // 20m Range // 34s Buff Duration
AMP: 68s Duration // 24m Range // 220% Multiplikator

Her range is abysmal while her duration doesnt scale much. Sure you will get more small scale dps out of that, but not overall. Her hammer base range is 10 meters. Remember attracting more is adding more. You might as well control the field in the process.

Range for what purpose?
you throw down 1 and cast 4. double range which covers whole rooms and since it only deals dmg in line of sight, range is the least important stat

all of what 10 meters? Attracting more is adding more dps. You might as well control the field for your team in the process.

I'm at 80% range and, like I stated above, my 1 has about 20 meter diameter, so it's way then enough

I wanna know what map you're on because npcs shoot farther than 20 meters. Also Keep in mind thats 20 meter "diameter" Not radius. its only 10 meters to the left or right.

[GnarlsDarkley]

that is true, but your 1 only does dmg in line of sight. imo it's not very effective to get any obstacles in my way.
i'm not saying range is unnecessary, but i think it's the least important one.
if I want to clear whole maps on the spawn there are better frames, i.e. saryn/banshee

[StormX]

Range is not important. That is why you have the Resonator. The ball moves your AOE Zone to the enemy.
You need a bit of range for your Metronome and your AMP

And like GnarlsDarkley said, Mallet damage is only "line of sight" from your Mallet Center

Mallet deals 0 Damage if it takes no damage, so a high duration equals a Higher Damageoutput since your Mallet (in its lifetime) can get shot more.

the balls charm is just as small in range and based on diamter.
