Synoid Heliocor

[Duckboy3825]

Based on the stats, It looks like the normal Heliocor is much better than the Synoid Heliocor. But is the Synoid Heliocor actully better at all? Has anyone here forma'd one yet?

It said it would create a specter of the enemy you killed after killing an enemy with a channeled attack.

Build this thing for channelling and status.

So, is it better?

I think it would be, considering you could potentially spawn like an Ancient Healer Eximus if you can kill that. Plus I would assume it scale with level since it did mentioned that it will spawn whatever you kill with channeled attack, although you can only have one at a time.

But what about dps?

Think of it as a pocket specter spawner. Kill one and recreate it. It seems more of a situational weapon than the usual whack-it-hard weapon.

Well if you consider the stats, yea it seem bad compare to the original, but with that spawning specter thing, its quite a good trade off.

Only downside is that it only spawns an enemy if that enemy's codex entry is complete.



Not much of a downside considering this thing scans em for ya.

I find this weapon deleriously fun. So fun I haven't even bothered to look at stats. 15/10 in my book.

On a side note, I can't seem to get it to spawn specters. Anyone else having this issue?

Also, this weapon has made me dust off my channeling mods. Anything that makes me revisit an old mechanic gets a 10/10.

*looks at codex. Everything except around 15 enemies remains*

Now, if only there's an archwing variant of this weapon, that would be great. (Scan by kill)

And knux doesn't need to be an archwing only

Empowered Blades looks like it'd fit pretty nicely with the Synoid Heliocor: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Empowered_Blades

Looks like fun to use with the channeling build in mind for the weapon.

The DPS *with the weapon is lower* - but once you start spawning kills as allies your actual DPS will be much higher.
