Violet Archon Shards - Damage Powerhouse! | Warframe

The ability to place the Violet Shard in the rightmost slot for greater than intended power has been fixed (Update 35.5, Dante Unbound)

I bet I can tell you exactly how the weapon buff bug came about. On the check for 'is this shard the right color' they should have set the default boolean value to 'false' and checked each slot for a viable shard that would match. But they did it backwards. The default was set to 'true' and is only being changed to false when a certain color is detected but they didn't code for an empty slot so those always show a 'true' value and thus give the extra damage.

HELP!! Does the ability damage on enemies affected by electric slow down novas molecular prime or just increase the damage

The purple shard for energy is such a nice slot replacer. Sure it is an smaller buff than equilibrium, but it is a fair trade to free a whole mod slot, specially for such a drain heavy mod

Another education lesson from TheKingineer. Thanks man for helping me understanding this game better. I actually used the Equilibrium effect of the Violet Shards on Nekros with Despoil and it works VERY well, completely removing the need for the mod itself as Desecrete seems to take a little over the amount it gives back, so with 2, it completely counters Despoil's health cost, might be worth looking into for frames that use health as a resource instead of energy (just a thought)

This information makes me feel like my builds may never be kenough.

I can feel Baruuk's eyes boring into the back of my skull to slap a flow mod on him and give him 5 Tauforged violet shards

Wasteful but....enticing

You have me wanting to make a meme build with Harrow, Arcane Rage, the Amprex, and 5 tauforged violet shards. I’ll have to build a whole other Harrow to pull this off. This is what you do to me Ken 😂😂

Violet Shard Melee saved my Excaliprime from oblivion.

What's with these things? Archon shards have like two good effects and the rest are nonsense, what's the rationale here

I just finished fully sharding my Kullervo with tauforged violet shards so enjoying an extra 375% crit damage on his auto crits after using his 1, with a 25% crit damage dual ichor i am melting steel path adds

The third abiltie english is bad i have excatly 500 energy on my frame but im alwahs just below it while actually play will i always have double affect as long as i can get 500 energy

how did you get vorunas energy colour to be black? Whenever i try that it just becomes see-through

Did they already patch this? Just got my 1st few archon shards but have not slotted them in.

Mildly annoyed the electric on primary combines with existing mods... otherwise not half bad. Probably 3rd best shard? 4th?

Use fused arcon shards like a cave man and just stack a bunch of the same effect

For those watching this now. DO NOT use electric bonus on a warframe with which you plan to use a status based primary, you're gonna destroy the proportions. Use ele bonus if you plan to use the warframe with a primary for full corrosive OR radiation dmg (magnetic too if you really plan to)

So, I have been playing a lot more Gyre lately. In doing so, I want to see what people think of using Rumblejack w/ Gyre? (Obviously with Melee Influence)….

Also, (I don’t know if this is allowed here, and I’ll gladly remove it if so) I’m definitely looking for people to play with if interested add me BloodedNytmare42

i used the 500 energy crit one on my infinite anger valkyr, with another shard but not sure it works it somehow seems weaker

Golden......arse!

Violet archon shards make me look at gyre like a piece of steak

Equilibrium lite might only be useful for health orb tanking with health conversion. Or maybe with dispensary, as empowered health orbs woud give 20 energy, almost an energy orb's worth

How does this affect abilities that are effected by melee weapons like Khoras whip, etc ??

Hola soy Dora, can you say amprex?

spaghetti code

Kullervo eating with that melee crit buff

PhD in warframe 😂

At this point, I want DE to add the ability to infuse one Archon Shard directly into weapons

Gyre gonna love this

The archon slot testing must've been expensive on bile 😂

Are multiple shards using the ability damage buff work multiplicatively or additively with each other ? If I put 3 violet, do I get 30% Ability Damage or I get a measly 11.1% (I might be wrong I suck at math) from them ? And do they cross over with different element (like a topaz for radiation and a violet for electricity) ?

"Volt's 4 doesn't cause electric procs"........ whaaaaaaat

The problem is that to get a purple shard you have to give up a red and none of the buffs really beat a permanent buff to str or occasionally duration and the melee boost for yhe melee exalteds or the secondary crit for mesa

Can’t wait for topaz

I use the tau shard 30% conversion effect only on citrine, she produces more health orbs than i need, which is more than sufficient to keep her energy up and to free up a mod slot.

dose the yellow shard combo with the violet

The power creep is beautiful

Nah I’d proc

Great video! Good to know about the electric damage bonuses working differently based on slot position. Just some constructive feedback, you should've mentioned the Tauforged violet shard's "equilibrium" amount at the end of the video - its more useful than I think you let on.

Im only getting 30% electricity damage on Xbox no matter what slot its in or if everything is filled with correct shards

I’m curious, for the gyre build you had her using arcane steadfast. What’s the logic behind that one?

im trying to make a dagoth/amprex build. the idea is to subsume her 1 with tharros strike to completely armor strip enemies and then hit them with doom. then spray at them with a amprex with hunter munitions, viral damage, and lots of crit and status. so lots of damage from the bleed procs. will these purple shards increase my electric damage and therefore increase the procs from the slash status effect from hunter munitions?

Am I missing something or is 5 purple tau forged crit shards on khora just broken combined with a magistar Stat stick and whipclaw

Why are violet shards so weird

This is interesting. But I still wonder, how would the primary electric buff work with shock trooper?

considering balance, I don't mind empty slots counting as not interfering with the purple shards, as long as this effect counted all empty slots, and not just the ones to the left of the shard. if this calculation took into account all slots, I think its fine. limiting it so empty slots don't count seems too harsh. Empty slots are inherently worse than a filled slot of the right colour, so there is still incentive to fill those up.

I dont know why but you having a stank bug on the screen puts me in a rage.

Man, I love this channel

Way to long winded bored after the 1st shard description lmao
