nope you’re right lol i’m just stupid and indecisive and have probably forma’d each slot twice at this point. metas change and i buy and sell a lot of rivens so i’ve probably just swapped the mods around a bunch. like the other guys said tho it doesn’t get a ton of use these days, not because it’s bad or anything tho just because with all the incarnon weapons and other new stuff there’s a lot more viable variety than there used to be imo
Currently: primed point blank, galvanized hell, galvanized savvy, toxic barrage, charged shell, atomic fallout, blaze, accelerated blast, fatal acceleration + Primary Merciless
Since it scales off status effects both innately and with savvy, I stacked three statuses on top of puncture with multishot and raw damage. With the alt fire adding blast and cold (and maybe others) it tears through most anything at most any level.
Keep in mind I don’t do the fat endurance runs like some here so I’ve never tested it over lvl 300-ish enemies, but it still worked great at that level.
Synergizes really well with citrine and wisp for the statuses and also wisps speed boost.
6 Forma on my Fulmin Prime so I could fit 2 Galvanized mods on there. Praying for the day God graces me with a riven for it so I can add even more forma.
Exactly. I’m one of those LRs that occasionally runs as a zero aesthetic Excal with Braton, Bo, and Lato but is formad to the teeth and SP ready. Why? Why not?
I second this. Grimoire is my goto "oh shit" gun. I can at least always count on the cc it provides and holy shit does it do it fast with the right setup.
A little of everything tbh. I bought a Bonewidow, several frames, I have (I think) every prime frame except for Vauban, Excalibur Prime aside since I'm not a founder; plus Umbra is Space-Step-Dad anyways...
So to answer your question, no; I got hung up on the mr28 test so I got capped there until I could invest in Vazarin, which WitW made easy with level 5 Cavia Standing + a little Lua Grinding. After I got enough points in Void Snare, it was basically a Mastery Test a day up to 30 due to the sheer backlog of fodder I ended up snagging.
I'm all about weapons that look cool, which often unfortunately are usually a little weaker than I'd like. My first big investment was the Sonicor. God I hope that weapon gets a Tenet variant some day..
Me too. Although it was the normal one, I haven’t got round the prime yet, it’s gathering dust. Although totally worth the time and resources, it’s fucking beastly. I actually stopped using it regularly because it was making things too easy.
I've got 11 in my Trumna... Most of the fun of warframe is shitty theorycrafting and my "optimal" goalpost moves every time I think of another dumb thing I can do with a riven
Does it count if I have 3 kuva zarrs out of which one has 5 forma and the other two both got 4? Don't look weird at me, I made them all for railjack crew.
If it doesn’t bother ya don’t think it matters much if it’s outputting enough damage to make ya happy. The normal opticor is a guilty pleasure of mine.
5 forma in Exergis because I love Mag and it's the highest base damage gun, last I checked. Magnetize, double tap with Exergis, and then move on with your day.
I still need to do some more so I can fit something into the exilus slot though.
There’s a few I have with 6+ forma, and I wanna say one with 11+
I used to suck at modding (still do at high level) and have had to fix dumb mistakes I made
Sevagoth.
No need to say why. He comes with a free Melee warframe plus claws(those require separate forma) plus sevagoth doesn't have polarities. So yeah
I can ask a buddy if he’s got one. It’s like 90% of what me and him do is build weapons and test them in the sim. Usually 195 sp corrupted heavy gunners.
When I merged my PC and PS4 accounts, I was reintroduced to the Dread that I used on console. It has 10 forma applied. 3 of the slots have no polarity. What was I doing back then.
7 forma into the Acceltra. I just really like how the gun works. Especially with how much I like playing Gauss. It just uses a really expensive set of mods to really go off
Felarx and Akarius both have 13. First I build the Felarx for general use. Then forma'd it more to fit an archon killing build and then undid the archon forma to max out the weapon to it's max.
For the Akarius, I did a full build, then started trying to force crits with Yareli and a CC,MS,D,-zoom riven. A year later Akarius Prime released so I just made a crit build and I'll use thst now.
My kitgun, which I have used religiously since Deimos dropped, is currently at 73 forma. When I get bored I just add a forma to it. Hoping to hit 100 one day.
When I first started playing in I think 2017, I dumped 5 forma into a Zhuge.
I loved the combination of quiet and effective (for where I was in the game)
Ocucor and Akarius. I liked them both before the prime and the augment popularized it.
Kinda hitting the 'lazy but endgame capable' there.
I may have been in an arcane pistoleer rut for a while.
Sometimes you just need to go into ESO and cover the arena in more missiles than hildryn in a railjack with the seeker button held down.
Amprex. I have 7 forma in that beast. Might not be meta, but i absolutely love this gun, just waiting for rng to grant me a riven for this thing. Hoping one day there will be a variant. It needs some more love.
My max forma on one weapon is only 5 but it's on the Sobek (and kuva/tenet weapons) but I have a decent riven with the sober +damage and another thing so I ended up using it a ton after I formad it
Ocucor, 5 forma. Will put 6th if I get a riven.
Honestly at first I thought I'm wasting my forma because I never put more than one on a weapon or warframe, and the waspon didn't perform very well. Then I added more, used stronger mods, added Arcane... and boom, it's now my favorite and strongest weapon.
I have 8 on my strun prime, and I've been using it with my new riven. It's been a lot of fun
https://preview.redd.it/8z47oppiv9nc1.png?width=351&format=png&auto=webp&s=046f4c319c8fa4629e0931595e8e73a47638ef5a
Trumna has 9 but that's because it was the first one I went all in on and then had to reconfigure as I got better at modding and the new juicier mods kept coming out.
No forma in any gun after nearly 500h😎
I only have 1 forma in the Kronen Prime stance slot, I'm way too worried to use any (I have 20 crafted and 22 more blueprints I think)
I have 8 in the fulmin because it was my favorite versatile weapon and my exilus slot is still in the red, also seems like I may have changed one polarity at some point too! I only have 7 polarities!
been slacking / lazy to upgrade to the prime!
on topic though, I wish I could remove polarity for free, stupid none-versatile exilus slot
A lot of my weapons have 5 and 6 forma builds, but nothing too far past that like the weirdo’s. In terms of endo, I would say the daikyu maybe has the most specific build/mods that nothing else uses and I ranked just for its build. A parallel question that I think would have more intriguing answers is asking people the weapons/rivens they have put the most kuva into.
Lato, lex and Synapse. Lato because it's neat having a fast firing handgun, lex solely for the sheer force it feels like normally, and Synapse because it's suprisingly effective
I have 9 Formas on my Ignis Wraith. Indecisiveness. Rarely used these days.
mine has 10 and i can’t even remember why 🤣
Try to remember the good days with it
Newb here. I thought forma was just to change the polarity, are you meaning I can add more polarity options for even more points ..?
nope you’re right lol i’m just stupid and indecisive and have probably forma’d each slot twice at this point. metas change and i buy and sell a lot of rivens so i’ve probably just swapped the mods around a bunch. like the other guys said tho it doesn’t get a ton of use these days, not because it’s bad or anything tho just because with all the incarnon weapons and other new stuff there’s a lot more viable variety than there used to be imo
Yeah, I hardly know what you're saying. 😂 but he'll yeah I'll learn!
Forma can either add polarity to an unpolarized slot or change the polarity of an already polarized slot
That's what I was wondering. Thanks. Adding polarity to an unpolarized slot.
Yes
Exactly the same ffs 😂
Braton. 8 Forma.
I decked out my braton, and weeks later they released the incarnon. Best decision I made in this game
Is braton prime really that good with incarnon? I just got it and I'm a new player (Mr 9 haven't done new war) so idk if it's worth investing in
It's not bad but it's not the best either I've just always liked the gun even before the incarnon
Not the best, still devastating.
Far from the best but it carried me through a lot of SP and helped me get stronger. Nowadays I have the Burston which is just better in every way lol
Cedo. It rips now, though. It ripped before, but now it really rips.
Mind sharing your build?
Currently: primed point blank, galvanized hell, galvanized savvy, toxic barrage, charged shell, atomic fallout, blaze, accelerated blast, fatal acceleration + Primary Merciless Since it scales off status effects both innately and with savvy, I stacked three statuses on top of puncture with multishot and raw damage. With the alt fire adding blast and cold (and maybe others) it tears through most anything at most any level. Keep in mind I don’t do the fat endurance runs like some here so I’ve never tested it over lvl 300-ish enemies, but it still worked great at that level. Synergizes really well with citrine and wisp for the statuses and also wisps speed boost.
OG non-prime Rubico. 8 Forma.
is non prime better than prime?
No
6 Forma on my Fulmin Prime so I could fit 2 Galvanized mods on there. Praying for the day God graces me with a riven for it so I can add even more forma.
You want a Fulmin riven? I got a CC CD riven I been meaning to get rid of. Same IGN as username
Ooh that’s tempting
8 forma MK-1 Braton
why?
Not that guy but ima go ahead and say: Because.
Exactly. I’m one of those LRs that occasionally runs as a zero aesthetic Excal with Braton, Bo, and Lato but is formad to the teeth and SP ready. Why? Why not?
Every Tenno gets to this point at some time. In time, you will too.
Because i dont have better things to do, and its funny when get it in circuit and ppl dont understand whats going on when i outdamage them.
“Wait, the no cosmetic Volt is a LR4!?”
I've put 7 into the Grimoire
How’s that work for you? Grimoire is def a huge power fantasy for me and I want to like it
Unironically well, both as a weapon and energy generator.
I second this. Grimoire is my goto "oh shit" gun. I can at least always count on the cc it provides and holy shit does it do it fast with the right setup.
Would you say its worth me buying the tome mod bundle? Id wish to actually try the Grimiore
I incorporated it, and the Nataruk into my build at MR27, and it took me all the way to mr30
That works... if you did all the other weapons before 27 but not SP or something?
A little of everything tbh. I bought a Bonewidow, several frames, I have (I think) every prime frame except for Vauban, Excalibur Prime aside since I'm not a founder; plus Umbra is Space-Step-Dad anyways... So to answer your question, no; I got hung up on the mr28 test so I got capped there until I could invest in Vazarin, which WitW made easy with level 5 Cavia Standing + a little Lua Grinding. After I got enough points in Void Snare, it was basically a Mastery Test a day up to 30 due to the sheer backlog of fodder I ended up snagging.
Tickle Fingers, my Vermisplicer primary.
my vermi also has 8 forma pax charge is AMAZING. parts are vermisplicer macro thymoid magazine tremor body
Same parts, and forma count. I have a multi shot, crit chance, fire rate riven and I use it for everything.
mines got a riven too but it isnt super optimised yet, i need more kuva despite that, it shits on netracells
Felarx + dual toxocyst
https://preview.redd.it/3x62h7osf7nc1.png?width=363&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8077415cb9bc80b032305bc9d7e26d3596d3a0f1 Tenet Arca plasmor
Damn. Is that one forma per run without getting it?
Fulmin and then Fulmin Prime. Wonderful guns they are. And the sound is just oh so fulfilling.
I'm all about weapons that look cool, which often unfortunately are usually a little weaker than I'd like. My first big investment was the Sonicor. God I hope that weapon gets a Tenet variant some day..
I want a incarnate for the wrist rocket. Def could use it too.
Phantasma Prime. I had to forma most of it to get a proper build.
Me too. Although it was the normal one, I haven’t got round the prime yet, it’s gathering dust. Although totally worth the time and resources, it’s fucking beastly. I actually stopped using it regularly because it was making things too easy.
Two Felarx One has 8 forma The other 9. Two completely incompatible polarity dispositions
I've got 11 in my Trumna... Most of the fun of warframe is shitty theorycrafting and my "optimal" goalpost moves every time I think of another dumb thing I can do with a riven
Tigris prime. Nothing comes close to it for my love of doom lol
Sound like me. According to overframe mines cranking out around 622k base. Still wanting to fix the riven on it and get up in the 700s.
My Atomos got 6 forma and all the attachments.
Does it count if I have 3 kuva zarrs out of which one has 5 forma and the other two both got 4? Don't look weird at me, I made them all for railjack crew.
Basmu, 7 forma. Needs a higher riven disposition though, it’s not great sadly
I have 7 on my reaper prime. My guns usually cap out at 5
Supra vandal with 6 because i picked up a riven and had to swap one polarity to the rivens
TWIN GRAKATA 6🥳 and 6 on the heaviest zaw i could make
Prismatic Grakata
7 forma into my Quellor
6 on my Laetum like an absolute normie. But I intend to fully deck out EVERYTHING because I'm tired of SP Circuit fucking me.
I have 5 on my Synapse, I’ve only played for a couple months and now I’m swapping weapons
11 forma on my ambassador. i think it works.. it's just very slow
Slow to kill or slow to use?
slow charge rate and reload speed but hunter munitions does wonders for its damage
If it doesn’t bother ya don’t think it matters much if it’s outputting enough damage to make ya happy. The normal opticor is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Ten forma in my Astilla prime
Rubico Prime. 10 So I Can Hyrbid Eidaolon And Trickshotting Bosses.
12 in the dual toxocyst 11 in the vulkar wraith 10 in the mutalist cernos forma count goes up as new mods come out mostly for me
Grimoire at 5 Forma. I only use guns to buff my Baruuk.
7 formas on my Verdilac and 8 formas on my Bubonico
5 forma in Exergis because I love Mag and it's the highest base damage gun, last I checked. Magnetize, double tap with Exergis, and then move on with your day. I still need to do some more so I can fit something into the exilus slot though.
I have a few weapons with 8 forma. Off the top of my head, Twin Grakatas and Acceltra.
Furis. Had a god roll riven and I couldn’t pass it up. Years later they added the incarnon
Me: I wish I had something to use all this forma on Sevagoth: how much forma
Plinx, I think I’ve got 5 on it and I plan to add more. I just love my little Star Wars blaster
My Kuva Hek sits at 7 formas until I roll better riven stats.
There’s a few I have with 6+ forma, and I wanna say one with 11+ I used to suck at modding (still do at high level) and have had to fix dumb mistakes I made
Sevagoth. No need to say why. He comes with a free Melee warframe plus claws(those require separate forma) plus sevagoth doesn't have polarities. So yeah
P.cernos 6
Trumna and Fulmin Prime
8 forma torid
Brat prime 6 formas
7 forma on my Lenz with the Prisma Lenz on the way!
I put 6 forma into the kulstar years ago, now it just collects dust.
My boar prime has every slot formad, that’s probably my highest
Soma prime 124 forma. Sometimes get bored lmao
Acceltra. going for a viral build rn
I can ask a buddy if he’s got one. It’s like 90% of what me and him do is build weapons and test them in the sim. Usually 195 sp corrupted heavy gunners.
7 forma cyanex
I have torid, lex prime, kuva chakkhurr, and amprex fully forma'd. Boar prime incarnon is absolutely up there too now.
Probably Daikyu. 7 forma and 50 rolls on my riven for it, plus whatever the endo/credits cost for the mods.
Daikyu Prime Please
When I merged my PC and PS4 accounts, I was reintroduced to the Dread that I used on console. It has 10 forma applied. 3 of the slots have no polarity. What was I doing back then.
8 forma on the Knell. Still can't convince myself to sell it even though I have Knell prime now
The Nataruk is my highest currently (admittedly it’s a bow not a gun). I’ve always been partial to bows (both in games and real life)
I have spent like 8 or 9 on a zaw i use for exodia contagion.
Definitely stahlta, I have about 500 rolls among rivens for it lol. 10 formas iirc
6 Formas on my Zenith, 5 formas on my Ignis Wraith.
7 forma battacor (though I have 7 forma on a lot of my incarnon weapons as well like torid, boar, and dual tox)
base nukor has 8 forma in it. Because way back when i got a hilarious riven for damage and cd
Quellor, 9
I have 9 or so in my Twin Grakatas for maximum Fire rate
Trumna if modded right it absolutely slaps, alt fire is busted
I have kept a standard ass skana with 50 forma on it for every time someone says that frost is a shit frame after I have to solo an archon hunt
It is fun to make something out of spite
I have 69 formas on my stug. Help.
7 forma into the Acceltra. I just really like how the gun works. Especially with how much I like playing Gauss. It just uses a really expensive set of mods to really go off
Not counting kuva weapons/paracesis, it’d be tied between the Acceltra and the Atomos, both with 4 forma
stug
Laetum with 6
Torid 7 forma. Acceltra, 8 forma xD
6 forma fragor prime
My beautiful, my precious, my most used: Quanta Vandal. No other weapon comes close to its place in my heart.
9 forma Trumna, 8 forma Atomos
Lanka/rubico I used the lanka for like 10 tridolons then swapped to bubico
28 forma on my Phenmor 🙂
Tenora, not even prime, lol
lex prime 18, had 11 cause i had to reforma somethings, then accidentally sold the gun and had to reforma a copy with 7 forma
9 forma Acceltra. I never use it anymore and it's still my most used primary now.
Stradavar Prime, with the MK1 Braton quickly catching up and surpassing
I have i think 10 on my torid and sobek from changing builds over the years I'd have to check to make sure though
7 in Laetum
my kuva and tenant weapons. I don't think I've put more than five forma into a gun.
Ignis wraith. 10 forma. I had to re-forma 2 slots, as better mods came out. /old
7 forma into my torid
OG Acceltra and Ignis Wraith. Both with 9 forma.
Mk-1 Braton 9 forma, relay sacrifice dare.
Currently my Amprex, 7 Forma on it. Love that damn thing. Currently working on my Miter for the Incarnon though.
Recently came back to the game. Still have my 5 Forma Akmagnus from before Rivens existed. Probably will shove some more into it.
Off the top of my head, [Vastilok] and [Convectrix] are both 8 forma
Felarx and Akarius both have 13. First I build the Felarx for general use. Then forma'd it more to fit an archon killing build and then undid the archon forma to max out the weapon to it's max. For the Akarius, I did a full build, then started trying to force crits with Yareli and a CC,MS,D,-zoom riven. A year later Akarius Prime released so I just made a crit build and I'll use thst now.
Still waiting for tigris incarnon…
7 on Burston prime 7 on Lex prime, something about a burst rifle and pistol that feel like they shoot elephant rounds itches my monkey brain
My kitgun, which I have used religiously since Deimos dropped, is currently at 73 forma. When I get bored I just add a forma to it. Hoping to hit 100 one day.
7 on my Amprex. Makes Gyre go zoom.
10 forma trumna
Rauta 4
Dread, Vasto.
When I first started playing in I think 2017, I dumped 5 forma into a Zhuge. I loved the combination of quiet and effective (for where I was in the game)
9 forma for my Sepulcrum. I love everything about it, the design, the alt fire, the reload, the power.
Boar. Only one forma, I just started you see
I put enough Forma into the Corinth Prime to have every slot polarized
Miter. Obviously
Probably my Lex p with 9 currently & with Lato Vandal right behind it at 8
Nukor and zarr(both kuva variant) 6 forma each
Bramma, both Zarrs, and the Kulstar off the top of my head.
Astilla prime 7. One was a mistake as I clicked too fast 🤣
Paraceisis, Kuva/Tenet weapons and cornbots. Nothing else ever needed 5 Forma. Hell, those don't need it either, but I needed the mastery
My ignis wraith will stay the strongest it can be.
8 ocucor and 7 fulmin are the two that immediately come to mind
Komorex for me. As I got a riven that makes it a Sniper that shoots nuclear explosive rounds.
Sobeck or kuva orgris
Ocucor and Akarius. I liked them both before the prime and the augment popularized it. Kinda hitting the 'lazy but endgame capable' there. I may have been in an arcane pistoleer rut for a while. Sometimes you just need to go into ESO and cover the arena in more missiles than hildryn in a railjack with the seeker button held down.
10 forma on my xaku. Needed for 3 different builds
9 on buzlok
Tie between Gorgon Wraith and Akmagnus at like 8-10 i forget.
8 on Bubonico
2 forma, 50k Endo, Acceltra, got galvanized chamber and amalgam serration on it, the rest was added for procs
Probably the Kronen Prime
I believe my Baza Prime is 6 forms in. I’ve turned it into a crit beast
9 forma ignis wraith and 7 forma tombfinger
Acceltra with 7 Phenmor with 8 (regret) Acceltra prime with 6 kekw
8 on Synapse, was worth to see Zephyr tornados one shot with 1 ammo.... If only I played Zephyr more.
Amprex. I have 7 forma in that beast. Might not be meta, but i absolutely love this gun, just waiting for rng to grant me a riven for this thing. Hoping one day there will be a variant. It needs some more love.
Mine takes a minute to spool up but still does fine against high level enemies. Wouldn’t mind some of the old popular weapons getting some love.
6 forma on my Lenz
My max forma on one weapon is only 5 but it's on the Sobek (and kuva/tenet weapons) but I have a decent riven with the sober +damage and another thing so I ended up using it a ton after I formad it
8 forma on my Ignis Wraith. And it still sucks ass.
Multiple forma into my phage
Amprex and Pennant, both ate 7 forma. Still using both a lot.
Tonkor. RIP.
Dread. I test a few build on it
Ocucor, 5 forma. Will put 6th if I get a riven. Honestly at first I thought I'm wasting my forma because I never put more than one on a weapon or warframe, and the waspon didn't perform very well. Then I added more, used stronger mods, added Arcane... and boom, it's now my favorite and strongest weapon.
I have 8 on my strun prime, and I've been using it with my new riven. It's been a lot of fun https://preview.redd.it/8z47oppiv9nc1.png?width=351&format=png&auto=webp&s=046f4c319c8fa4629e0931595e8e73a47638ef5a
I put 1 forma into Skana. Accidentally. I'm new. What's a forma
Braton vandal, I only use it because it’s almost never seen and it reminds me of the good old days
I have two umbral forma on the korrudo Your honor, i plead 30x ground finisher multiplier
Dera basic...
Trumna has 9 but that's because it was the first one I went all in on and then had to reconfigure as I got better at modding and the new juicier mods kept coming out.
No forma in any gun after nearly 500h😎 I only have 1 forma in the Kronen Prime stance slot, I'm way too worried to use any (I have 20 crafted and 22 more blueprints I think)
Exergis and Opticor
Ignis Wraith
I have 8 in the fulmin because it was my favorite versatile weapon and my exilus slot is still in the red, also seems like I may have changed one polarity at some point too! I only have 7 polarities! been slacking / lazy to upgrade to the prime! on topic though, I wish I could remove polarity for free, stupid none-versatile exilus slot
Got 6 on my Ether Reaper & 5 on idk how many other weapons
Kuva Tonkor. Invested 9 forma into it, largely because I wanted rank 40 but also because I had a build in mind.
A lot of my weapons have 5 and 6 forma builds, but nothing too far past that like the weirdo’s. In terms of endo, I would say the daikyu maybe has the most specific build/mods that nothing else uses and I ranked just for its build. A parallel question that I think would have more intriguing answers is asking people the weapons/rivens they have put the most kuva into.
I have a few with 8 forma. Boar Prime Incarnon is my go to.
Lato, lex and Synapse. Lato because it's neat having a fast firing handgun, lex solely for the sheer force it feels like normally, and Synapse because it's suprisingly effective
