Lavos Prime is here, and if you want a build for the dark alchemist to take on most of the content offered inWarframe, we have you covered. Below is a build that will consist of mods, subsumed abilities, Archon Shards, and weapon choices.
This is going to be a late-game build inWarframe, given that some mods and setups are not available until after Whispers in the Walls.
Best Lavos Prime build inWarframe
This build will turn Lavos more into a weapons platform. Since his abilities are more about inflicting status effects or having utility, this will make builds that use Galvanized mods or Condition Overload very powerful.
Mods:
Arcanes:
This setup will seem unconventional since you’re using a lot of shield-recharging mods and Catalyzing Shields toexploit shield gatingessentially. It’s strong even after nerfs, just to prevent full immunity.
You only need some range and efficiency so that your abilities can connect with more enemies and be cast more often, synergizing with Transmutation Probe.
Best subsume abilities for Lavos Prime
For this build specifically, here are the following abilities you can use. It’s also best to replace Vial Rush since it can disrupt the flow of this build.
Best Archon Shards for Lavos Prime
Since Lavos acts as a weapons platform for this build or an elementalist, these are good uses for each shard. Mix and match to your liking with these abilities:

These weapons are the best ones to use because they can inflict several status effects and benefit greatly from elemental damage stack builds.
Lavos Prime build playstyle
Playing this Lavos Prime build requires good timing and placement of your abilities and survivability.
You can take a good amount of damage before the Shield Gating stops working. Once your shield stops charging or when your health bar becomes gray, perform a dodge roll right after the Shield Gate wears off to activate the invincibility of Rolling Guard. This will refresh the recharge loop for Shield Gating to work again.
While fighting enemies, cycle your abilities to inflict unique status effects, with Transmutation Probe being cast last. Doing so in a crowd of enemies can reduce the cooldown of your abilities significantly.
Spreading procs will make all enemies susceptible to damage if you have Galvanized Savvy, Galvanized Shot, or Condition Overload.
Survivability and spreading elements is good for solo play and group play, being more of a support role.
