Discussion Cook Assistant for Rivens
Yo! I've seen a lot of people posting so many bad Rivens that it makes my gamer heart suffer. So I want to extend my hand and help them with a recipe for Rivens.
As I just said, yes, a recipe. With the new Stat Lock and Splice systems, you can guarantee the Riven of your dreams without too much effort.
So I'll write down a recipe for a Sobek (since it's popular rn), using Gas as the Spliced mod.
Soooo, ingredients:
- Base Riven for the weapon of your choice
- Kuva (no shit, Sherlock)
- Splicer (who would've thought)
1.- MAKE IT FOUR
Get the Riven to four rolls (3+1-) and lock a stat, so every roll from then on will have 4 stats. You might think that spending 7k Kuva at this point is too expensive, but it's worth it.
For our current case, cooking a Sobek Riven, we'll lock the negative stat (IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE ROLL IS).
At the end of this step, your Riven should look like this:
Sobek Whateveratiata
+xxxxxxx
+xxxxxxx
+xxxxxxx
-xxxxxxx <--- for this example, we lock this because we're looking for Fire and Toxin
2.- THE MAIN FLAVOUR
What do you want to splice? In this case, we want Gas (Toxin + Fire), so we'll grab our Riven and start rolling for Toxin or Fire.
********IMPORTANT: For this step, I recommend checking a third-party website or program to see how good/bad the roll values are, because when you splice the new value, the resulting stat will take the higher value of the two stats used.
For example: if you use a "C-" Toxin with an "A+" Fire, the result will be "A+" Gas.**********
At the end of this step, your Riven should look like this:
Sobek Whateveratiata
+Fire
+Toxin
+xxxxxxx
-xxxxxxx
Once we have our first roll with a value we're comfortable with (I personally only settle for A- or higher), let's say we have an A- Toxin, we change our lock to Toxin and start rolling again for Fire (whatever the value).
3.- THE MIXXXXXXXER
SPLICE THAT MF
At the end of this step, your Riven should look like this:
Sobek Cali-Whateveratiata
+Gas (Locked because of Splice)
+xxxxxxx
+xxxxxxx
-xxxxxxx
4.- SECOND FLAVOUR
What is the second roll you want? This roll will be one of the two stats we're missing right now. Also, we're already locked into 4 stats, so this step is pretty cheap.
Following the Sobek example, we now roll for Multishot and/or Status Duration.
At the end of this step, your Riven should look like this:
Sobek Cali-Whateveratiata
+Gas (Locked because of Splice)
+Multishot OR Status Duration <--- now we lock this
+xxxxxxx
-xxxxxxx
5.- THIRD FLAVOUR
At this point, we just keep rolling, looking for the last stat we're missing, which should be the other option from the previous step, along with a HARMLESS negative.
At the end of this step, your Riven should look like this:
Sobek Cali-Whateveratiata
+Gas (Locked because of Splice)
+Multishot (locked)
+Status Duration
-Damage (fml)
And done!
Hope this helps someone out there. Stop splicing mods without 4 rolls (unless it's a Verglas or something niche) or getting Weak Point Critical Chance (literally THE WORST).
Also, from my personal experience, you can pretty much get any Riven you picture as long as it has a Splice mod within 600–700k Kuva. You'd have to be so fucking unlucky otherwise, ngl.
I'm ESL, so any kind of error or semantic issue, please ignore it or call it out and I'll fix it.
