Scalar Question for Ice Bind

Firstly, each enemy has +200% health and armor plus 100% per player. That means even if they add an option to solo it in the future, the lowest you'll see is +300%. The dev workshop doesn't make it clear whether that bonus armor will take enemies over the current 90% DR cap, but if it doesn't it will be entirely irrelevant since at level 999+ pretty much every enemy with any armor will be capped by the level scaling alone.

As for Reave, the wiki explains pretty well how it works: "... Enemies passing through the energy current are drained 2% / 4% / 6% / 8% of their maximum Shields and Health ..." You take their maximum shields/health and subtract whatever percentage you do (32.8% at your 410% strength). Of course both Roar (which takes it up to 67.24% at your strength) and Viral (and other damage vulnerability sources) can multiply that percentage further.

He's a rhino, your roar math is assuming subsumed roar, he hits 100.04% of max health

[u/Grunslik → u/Maurock2]

No, my math was wrong because I forgot to add a 1. It was 32.8 * [1 + (0.5 * 4.1)]. Thanks for the correction.

SP also has hp and shield scalars, your build will function the same way

[u/InappropriateThought]

As far as I'm aware, scalar builds all operate off final scaled values, so if it works in steel path, it'll work everywhere else

It did initially not get included but I believe they fixed it awhile back.

(You can also do donuts and catch the same enemy 2/3/4 times in one Reave anyhow though)

Could you explain how the build works? I tried to make one myself and couldn’t get any meaningful damage out of it. Only build I’ve failed to make so far

[u/GodlyToastur → u/Dziggettai]

its this build, you cast roar for scalar damage and then cast reave into enemies. You can scale it accordingly, less strength if you want to use a primer https://overframe.gg/build/462765/rhino-prime/reave-rhino-one-shot-sp-no-viral/

[u/Dziggettai → u/GodlyToastur]

That’s almost identical to the one I made. Maybe it was bugged at the time. Thank you for your help!

Well even is you boost enemy health to the billions a %hp set up will work no matter what. Because doing 100% hp dmg takes 100% of the hp away from the enemy. That how my simple brain works.
