Dread Build

[Ala Netra]

I have two dread builds that i've created via warframe-builder.

The first one has Split Chamber, Serration, Speed Trigger, Point Strike, Heavy Caliber, Hammer Shot, Crit Delay and Vital Sense

The second one is only different in that Crit Delay is Sawtooth Clip.

The biggest thing is that the first build has 149% crit rate (49% red crit rate) versus the second build which has a 125% crit rate (25% red crit rate).

I'm open to suggestions. Feel free to use my build if you want.

First rule of using bow, never put Heavy Caliber with it. Bow shots must be precise. Reducing its accuracy is the same as killing it.

Try putting slash mods instead of HC.

Use buzzkill instead of sawtooth clip and (this is my own personal preferance) shred for the extra firerate which makes it easier and more practical to use.

Speed Trigger is faster than Shred and the Dread has innate punchthrough m8

more punchthrough never hurts




to OP: hammer shot, sawtooth clip and crit delay are DPS losses, you will get way more damage if you use 3 of 90% elemental mods
heavy caliber isn't really convenient for bows, i recommend you change that with something else too, see if you can get your hands on Fanged Fussilade

b-but why would you need more punchthrough if you're gonna be destroying everything

innate punchthrough is around 1 meter, which will go through about two enemies and hit a third one, with shred it will add 1.2 more meters, so this time it will be around 5 enemies total from one arrow
also there are some walls which are 2m+ thick, with shred you'll be able to pass those too
well it all comes down to taste and skill really, but my point is that it's not useless or bad

true that

Don't ever use physical damage mods, the proper elemental mods will always outdamage them.

Hammer Shot, Crit Delay
Replace those with Argon scope and Bladed rounds. And replace Heavy caliber with Buzzkill. Those mods can be expencive ATM, but they turn Dread into monstrosity.

Edit: Dread simply doesn't have palce for elemental combos, and single elemental is outshined by Buzzkill. Not to mention it also buffs bleed damage

I have both speed trigger and shred on and yes the extra punch through makes for more collats

In my experience both methods work but you need fanged fusilade and not the crappy sawtooth clip mod which isnt worth putting on. For elemental build I have made a status proc build for dread once which is very good but its not good for varied enemy types like the ones in the void.
