Ivara + Grimoire

Before you guys jump me for showing a riven mod in a build video, please hear me out! I know people hate to see rivens when looking for builds, which is totally understandable, but you can get this bad boy for like 20-30 plat - it's really not that expensive. However, if you don't want to spend any platinum on this build, you can totally replace it with something else (e.g. Primed Fulmination, Lethal Torrent, Primed Convulsion). In fact, Ivara makes this weapon busted to the point where you might as well leave the mod slot empty and it will still deal ridiculous amounts damage.

Anyways, while doing my research I came across @KnightmareFrame 's channel and found out they had already covered this Frame/Weapon combo in one of their videos. However, after analyzing their build I realized that while some mods made a lot of sense, the build didn't really resonate with the way I play Warframe, so I decided come up with my own. Still, their video was VERY insightful and it did inspire my build so yeah, big shout out to @KnightmareFrame for their work! You should definitely check out their take on this Ivara build as well!

viable build alterations:
- dispensary instead of nourish
- add one regular violet shard for equilibrium
- yellow archon shard for energy on spawn instead of preparation
- rivenless is more than fine

Rogue maxes out on guiding magic.
I should build my grimoire
**looks at forma count*

Soothing music and artistic level warcrimes, it was hypnothic.

This is a super well edited video, I love that you used the finger-guns emote to point at the Riven.

I don't want to make Topaz Shards but at the same time this looks stupendous

[jwns]

Great video, straight to the point! Or should I say to the great floating ball of destruction

[vincentprajogo]

Your videos are so good. Uniquely formatted very well

[MyNameIsDin]

Your videos are pure gold, also very relaxing ❤

Might want to consider swapping Cascadia Overcharge for Secondary Outburst and running Venka Prime for the 13x max combo. The Outburst buff is snapshotted so the +260% crit chance and 2.6x Crit damage buff wont end when the duration ends, only when you detach Navigator from the Grimoire projectile.

Ok yeah confirming this doesn't need any riven to be good

[Jemini.W]

We finally got the perfect projectile for ivara to navigate

[MakhaiX]

I directly was searching to see if anyone built stuff like this but me

[DaniLuque-nsfs]

I just tried this synergy and it works like a charm without the archon shards and without the riven.
Instead of the riven I placed Prime Junk, which increases the damage quite a bit.

[GunterBunterWarframe]

This is so fucked up and cool I'm gonna make this build when I come back home

[Pendergast]

hopefully they dont give this the zenistar treatment and have the projectile directly hit enemies in order to increase the crit chance

2 questions about the Grimore build:
1. What to put in place of the riven?
2. Why magnum force?

[charquitos]

I love your build, don't they use weapons on the companion?

[meeowlord]

are these damage numbers before or after quiver stacking?

[Zeg-ehik]

Does nourish give a lot of dmg? I want to try this with Dispensary
