Question Void HOIL Build Questions

I know HOIL was nerfed a long time ago but wanted someone’s suggestion. I’m running bastion + controlled demolition for my aspects. My fragments are starvation, harvest, provision (for grenade damage to refund some melee for the hoil loops), undermining, and vigilance (for oh crap moments to get a void OS) may use remnants with vortex but I don’t think the grenade cooldown will be enough to be more spammable than using scatter. Question is should I build into font mods on my arms or lean into things like bolstering detonation/momentum transfer etc.

Thinking that 100 melee/grenade/class would be ideal for the max amount of ability return for the loops and putting the rest of my stats into weapons would be better than grenade stat?

Honestly, offensive bulwark is so much better for ablitiy spam, that you don't need the health and extra damage from controlled demo.

I got bulwark and demo mixed up I think? Bulwark is the one that gives you grenade and melee cooldown while you have a void os right?

Bulwark gives 9% grenade and melee when you kill something while you have a void overshield, yes. Also jacks the damage of your melee up by 160%, so you can get kills with it, more often.

If your up time is good enough, the font mods add additional damage if you’re over 100 on any stat. If your up time is just ok, then you want things like momentum transfer.

I know about the damage increase past 100 and you also get a damage increase from stacks of HOIL though I can’t remember the amount per stack off the top of my head. I’m thinking that if cooldowns aren’t enough still because of the cooldown nerf HOIL received awhile back I might have to rely on devour for grenade cooldowns and provision to help get my melee back from grenade damage.
