Helminth and Titania (Razorwing)

[Effelious]

So I haven’t messed around much with the Helminth system. I mostly play with Titania at the moment and thought Empower would work well with Razorwing. However, I’ve read a number of posts from earlier this week stating that Empower does not have any impact on Razorwing’s damage output. There have been a few hotfixes since then and I haven’t seen any updates nor have I had time to try it out myself. Has anyone had any recent experience with this who can cofirm whether or not this is still the case? On a side note, any recommendations for subsumed abilities for Titania? Thanks!

*Went back and retested. Does not appear to work.

Yet to unlock it myself but i'd certainly try the infested ability that increases ammo efficiency because that seems pretty game changing if it works with the Dex Pixia

You are better off with a set of Arcane Pistoleer and use your subsume option for something else.

FYI -- empower is not the most useless skill in the game but it is not as good as it sounds even when it does work.

It provides a flat 50% increase to BASE stats e.g. gives ( strength + 50 )/100 * base stat

For instance with a 299 power strength Rhino:

Roar -- 150% boost.
Empowered Roar -- 175% boost.

If you have over 140 power strength you razorwing would be better with roar.

Empower is good if you lack a mod slot to reach 200-250 ability strength and you have ability slot to give to it.

Otherwise it's a barebone definition of a diminishing return. Guess maxing out strength for certain pre-made squads may make sense to some but it does not, we already do more than enough.
Max strength builds are not needed for anything in this game..

If you run Razorwing Blitz then you probably should look into not running too much ability strength cause then movement is so stupid fast you end up getting stuck. If I heard correctly - Razorwing Titania CAN break the sound barrier moving 340 meters per second.

Empower can make sense if you make build with less strength and focus on efficiency, then it makes sense.

Also if you have issues killing with Dex Pixia hit me up in game and I'll send you the build.

Arcane Precision is what makes her pew pew's shine,m don't do the crit build as 10% is a no no, full status, use viral+heat with one 90 elemental, one 60/60 and primed heat. As well as Maim for slash procs and enjoy scaling on any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ level and making lvl 200 targets feel like you are mowing down lvl 30's with soma.

There is new slash+status mod for pistols, I switched that instead of Maim. Don't know the name, carnis stinger or something like that.

Psycho, that seems to be the case still but Roar is sounding like a better alternative. Porgon, I did see a video using Energized Munitions and it was pretty crazy! Though Just Life makes a good point about Arcane Pistoleer but I’d have a hard time parting ways with Energize or Precision. Currently have power strength at 249% with duration at 194% and efficiency at 135%. Range isn’t very significant for what I use Titania for so that’s at 79%.

No_Quarter, appreciate the recommendation on Carnis Stinger. I actually don’t have the primed elemental mods (need to work on that) so I’ve been running viral/heat with the elemental/status mods. Carnis Stinger takes me from 70% status chance up to 85%.

I’m wondering if there’s a better alternative to roar since Titania’s damage output can already get quite high.
