My personal tier ist:
5. Helios, 4. Smeeta, 3. Panzer, 2. Nautilus, 1. Hounds
Why hounds? The Repo Audit and Synergized Prospectus Mod on them are insane! Number 1 disarms half of a room, while 2 deals very good damage on top of priming everyone to the moon and back. Thanks to this amount of CC (disarm has a short stun), you can easily run Reinforced Bond making every weapon feel twice as good.

Crying at the sight of a 120 forma Grendel js to see another 200 forma Grendel next to it

Hey Bro, very nice list! I gotta agree, the Hounds are absolutely crazy compared to how they used to be before the rework :O
If you have the time, you could also try out a Sentinel with Verglas, Duplex Bond and then Shivering Contagion on the Verglas ;) Love the passive room freeze ^^

[lerosallyn]

Just a tip for the Hounds:

You’re better off using them as status primers rather than enemy killers as nothing rly beats the KPM of your weapons with Gun CO. Hence, using the Batoten as their weapon is better as it doesn’t have any slash on it. The reason for this is that since most top tier weapons focus on dealing slash damage, it’s better for the slash procs on enemies to be solely those procced by your weapons whereas the hound can focus on proccing statuses you’re not proccing often like Puncture and Impact!

The weapon he recommended is definitely better if you do want your hound to deal more damage, but if you want them to be solely built around priming your guns, use the Batoten instead

considering that panzar is the only companion besides the wyrm prime that can give ALL warframes a permanant 60% fire rate boost, im still considering him a number 2.

[igreshi]

Not gonna lie
I hate smeeta
Instead of smeeta I'd put the wyrm prime and specifically the prime because it has high enough shields to make use of the bond mod that gives every gun free 60% fire rate
Then vulklak as the weapon with the bind mod for a final 1.2x multiplier
Sacrifice will get your ass up
Guardian will keep you safe
Negate will remove the fear of status effects
Contagious bind will make sure everything is always off cooldown
And the bond that gives 18s less on respawn after eximus kill means that just 2 eximus killed means you're only at 7s downtime if it dies

It just makes every warframe tanky! And it buffs your guns a lot
Especially recommended on mesa! Fire rate, crit damage and status immunity is perfect for her

I used to run Panzer. I just wanted perfect fetch and animal instinct uptime.
Now I run a Moa, for tenacious bond, reinforced bond, vacuum, animal instinct, whiplash mine. I haven't messed around with hounds, but if I can make one with 1200 shields I'll probably swap eventually for priming.

Great video, i love how in the past year also we have got so much QOL in Warframe. Companions really did need it and im all for having a wide range of choices when going into a mission and at this point in time we do and i hope the Companion part 2 update improves this with a minor smeeta buff.

[purplelurple]

The deathcube will reign supreme at phase 2 of the rework, mark my words. All hail the MEGAdethcube

[coreyano]

I use the huras kubrow to go invisible to catch my breath and use the bond mod to help build melee combo counter(tandem bond mod i think)

[RMeitzen]

Nothing in this game brings me more joy than seeing my hound steal a frost exímus bubble or a jade exímus beam and pretty much solo sp missions

[kumbajamalord]

Panzer still numbers one, it Providers Viral spread and best Bond Mod uptime. And is one of few companions that keeps the Bond mods up while down and still spreading Viral in the process. Objectively best in slot.

[myramedchan]

I think moas are underrated they can meet the shield requirement for reinforced bond while carrying a weapon for tenacious bond. And they have an aoe skill similar to the hounds(not quite as powerful but hounds can't run tenacious bond [maybe with a riven but it would need to roll 200-300 cr which I don't think they have the disposition for it])

[danielmason]

Me and my MOA be putting in work, its all i need

[palea]

No Wyrm Prime? Tandem Bond, Reinforced Bond, status clear (toxin procs), and lesser priming all on one companion? With Vulklok, it's objectively the best buffer companion in the game.

[lilytrx]

wrm not being on this is sad he makes ur wf survive longer and u can fit more dps with bond mods

[ianhenderson]

After many years finally built diriga recently and its beet pretty nice, but is helstrom better than verglas for priming? I built out a verglas and have been using it, but now i will definitely build out helstrom. I think i fell i to the verglas hype lol. Great vid thanks!

[notdynn]

whats your digira wings accessory at 3:50 ?

[pablojkl]

DUDE ? the formas on Grendel and Grendel prime??? That's more than 10 k pl just in buying formas 💀

[joshuathomasverghese]

Panzer Vulpaphyla, once the only pick, not even top 5...how the mighty have fallen.


But such is life, such is change, and such is the fact the Panzer is the only companion that can AoE armor strip with Viral Quills Vicious Bond combo but hey, you didn't hear it from me...
