I really like her abilities but to be completely honest I haven’t figured out what kind of a build to go for on her. Damage seems good even if you just spam and spread doom around, #4 is a really good “ohshit” button when you find a large group of enemies that need killing, but her survivability seems a bit low, she doesn’t have any damage reduction or even healing abilities by default (and low base armor value as well). She seems overall solid but doesn’t really excel in anything and doesn’t do anything extraordinarily fun?
I kinda mitigated the low defense with a few blue armor archon shards, as for healing her signature melee weapon can restore health but it seems like bad synergy - her #3 boosts crit weapons but her Dorrclave is a status weapon? So that seems like a trap.
Adaptation, arcane grace and her #3 lifeguard do a lot of heavy lifting but all in all, it doesn’t seem as reliable as other frames. Maybe subsuming gloom would help but I’m not sure what to replace, and that’s kind of a boring thing to do anyway.
So anyway, any thoughts, how have you been playing Dagath so far?
I’ve yet to find a build for her that truly feels right but I’ve been running high strength, negative efficiency and average range/duration. With some blue archon shards for armor and mostly focusing on health tanking but with catalyzing shields and brief respite for shield gating too (just her 1 is enough with blind rage and brief respite).
As far as abilities go I’m getting 150% crit (300% on doomed enemies) and the horses flatten pretty much anything I encounter if I doom them first.
IIRC they said that overshields and shieldgate are bugged/OP at the moment and having too high of a duration but that will be changed with the next major update? So dunno if brief respite is gonna stay that good. Could still be a good thing tho, and its the default aura polarity a well so maybe you got something there
Not for the overshields, just for the usual 1.33s shield gate using catalyzing shields.
