Eclipse Builds
Eclipse Builds
Builds for frames using Eclipse (subsumed).
This section covers generic builds for frames using Eclipse. This includes: Volt builds, Mirage builds, Saryn builds, etc. They are generally tailored to specific primary weapon setups. Suggested Warframe Arcanes include: Guardian, Avenger, Acceleration, Velocity Suggested operator Arcanes include: Elevate, Repair, Lockdown, Cloud
Frame Builds
This build is nearly the bare minimum for a Kuva Ogris setup, assumes you use a crewmate to cover toxin.
- This build relies on the Vengeful Archwing Intrinsic and 5 str shards to 3-tick pylons, will need 4 otherwise
- If you don't have Primed Sure Footed, you can use Sure Footed+Fortitude, can cost you pylon time
- With this build, a rivenless Kuva Ogris will destroy pylons in 3-4 damage ticks
- Vigorous Swap will always boost pylon damage when you leave archwing.
- destroying the pylons in one tick is only possible with a riven.
- Since Dante Unbound, oneshotting Pylons rivenless with Zenith and subsumed Eclipse is no longer possible. This build relies on either Sling Strength or more added strength (about 40%) to 2-shot with Zenith.
- If you have Primed Sure Footed, remove Fortitude and Sure Footed. Put Primed Sure Footed in the Exilus slot.
- Any empty slots are flex slots.
- Streamline is flex.
- Augur Secrets is there so the build goes to about 280% power strength. Make sure you maintain high power strength or Zenith will start having performance issues. Transient fortitude is a reasonable replacement.
- If you can survive, consider running Zenurik to reduce energy pad use or replacing Umbral Vitality with a QoL or power strength mod.
- Consider using Sprint Boost in the aura slot to reach Profit-Taker faster.
Saryn notably has Toxic Lash and Venom Dose, which provide additional Corrosive and Toxin on all weapons.
- Mods on the first build can be replaced by Mods on the second build. The second build relies on Unairu Poise for knockdown resistance.
- TriUmbral is unnecessary, you can replace Umbral Fiber with Transient Fortitude.
- The general Eclipse build is an option for Saryn too.
- Consider running Zenurik for Energy.
- Can also run a Pogris build, would need to replace Narrow Minded and add Total Eclipse

These builds differ from basic builds due to expected skill level and specialized tools.
Please do not mindlessly copy these builds. As a rule, they are extremely specialized.
Low duration Volt build. The higher range is so Total Eclipse more reliably buffs On Call Crew. Amar's Hatred is a flex slot for this build and only used because of its polarity, because these polarities are compatible with both Eidolon and Arbitration builds. Relies on Ancient Healer Specter and/or shield pads to stay alive.
Natural Talent can be replaced with Augur Secrets and yellow archon shards or cast speed can be dropped altogether. Primed Sure Footed can be replaced with Power Drift past a certain pace as knockdowns become increasingly rare and Wyrm can pick up the slack. Unairu is also an option if using Power Drift or if you don't have PSF. Arcane Awakening is flex and can be replaced by either Molt Efficiency if you need more duration or Arcane Guardian if you have trouble staying alive.
Weapon Builds
Weapon builds for Eclipse setups. Missing elements can be covered via: Warframe abilities, primary weapon, on call crewmate, manually cycling, Amp Arcanes, or Arquebex.
Overframe Link (Basic) | Overframe Link (Speedrun)
- since Dante Unbound, Pogris needs 427% to only take 3 instead of 4 damage ticks to destroy Pylons with the provided frame build, Sling str and 5 str shards. An alternative to this approach would be to double shot pylons to require two ticks instead
- Nightwatch Napalm will damage Pylons as long as they are in range, even through the Pylon bubble.
- Damage is extremely sensitive to warframe power strength, very few things will increase Nightwatch Napalm damage.
- Normal Ogris also works well enough if Kuva Ogris feels too grindy. Does less damage but only needs one ammo mod. Damage can be offset a bit with Heavy Caliber, but that makes it less accurate. The other ammo mod can be replaced with Firestorm on a standard Ogris, for slightly less required accuracy especially if combined with Heavy Caliber.
- Speedrun: Kuva Ogris is entirely for pylons. Magazine size mods are so that you have enough shots for all pylons. Damage and multishot on riven lets you always twotick with decent power strength (rip Eclipse). Projectile speed gives the most QoL out of any third stat.
Covers toxin. Twitch is flex. This is the bare minimum build required to oneshot Pylons with the Generic Eclipse build and Sling Strength / Transient Fortitude. It relies on Multishot to oneshot, so to increase its consistency you can:
- You can use a maxed Vigilante Armaments and Galvanized Chamber to have 3ms
- Invest in a dmg ms riven of any kind, this will allow you to oneshot
- if you don't need Zenith to do shields, replace the crit mods with more fire rate
Overframe Link (Basic) | Overframe Link (Speedrun)
The Successor to Tenet Diplos. Rivens will ideally replace Tox/CC/CD Mods on the build. Cold and Heat are replaceable, but slightly less ideal, due to replacing either Ice Storm with its additional Magazine Capacity or Primed Heated Charge's higher Heat Damage.
Incarnon Adapter Evos;
EVO II: Feigned Retreat +40 Base Damage
EVO III: Extended Volley +12 Base Magazine Size
EVO IV: Commodore's Fortune +14% Base CC.
- Covers IPS, Magnetic, Radiation, Viral and Heat.
- Use the Exilus that benefits your situation the most.
- Cascadia Overcharge assumes shield pad usage. If you don't use shield pads, use Secondary Enervate.
Overframe Link (Basic) | Overframe Link (Speedrun)
- Diplos have been superseded by Sicarus Prime with an Incarnon adapter. Only use if you don't have access to Sicarus Prime Incarnoff.
- Covers heat, magnetic (progenitor) and viral
- If you don't have Diplos, you can use the Tenet Detron, Tenet Cycron, Synoid Gammacor or any weapon with innate (or progenitor) magnetic, really.
- Reflex Draw is flex
- Cascadia Overcharge assumes shield pad usage. If you don't use shield pads, you can use Deadhead for less recoil or Merciless if you are able to build stacks.
- Speedrun: Tenet Diplos doesn't have much build variety. This build expects riven to have both toxin and cold, however, a riven with only one of the two will work, in which case replace Accelerated Isotope with the missing element. Diplos uses magnetic progenitor.
Overframe Link (Basic) | Overframe Link (Speedrun)
- Covers IPS, cold, radiation, gas, corrosive and blast.
- Rank 0 Melee Exposure is just fine on most builds.
- Rank >0 Exodia Contagion is not necessary.
- If you don't oneshot elements, consider replacing attack speed mods with Primed Pressure Point and/or Organ shatter or modding for more strength.
- The Zaw is Balla+Peye+Vargeet II Jai. If you have a different strike, see How to Build A Zaw for making a Zaw with a different strike.
- Speedrun: High attack speed build, it saves a few milliseconds. Volt shield, Vigorous Swap, and Eclipse makes damage-increasing mods unnecessary. The riven goes over one of the elemental mods for gas and cold, in this example it replaces the heat mod and is otherwise only for increasing attack speed.
- See Mech Builds for mech-focused archgun builds.
- People commonly don't have Primed Dual Rounds or Critical Focus, if so, replace them with Normal Dual Rounds, Sabot Rounds or the Cold/Electric 60/60 Mods for best results.
- Running Ammo Chain instead of Automatic Trigger to avoid cooldowns, especially between second and third legs, is a possibility.
- Running Vigorous Swap greatly impacts the amount of damage you deal with Heavy Weapons, as it applies after the animation has finished, and is therefore usable for doing the leg phase
Prisma Dual Decurions: Runs the same build as Mausolon but has a faster fire rate. Prisma Dual Decurions are quite unforgiving when it comes to wasting ammo, consider running Mausolon instead.
