User:Arcalane/Marelok Corrosive Build

A custom, high-power Marelok build for dealing with just about anything that moves-


 * Catalyst: Yes
 * Forma: None required (but recommended)

This configuration deals massive damage to just about any unarmoured enemy, and for those that are armoured, its 88.4% proc chance means they're likely to lose their armour advantage in short order. It's most effective against Ferrite Armour and Fossilized Tissue, dealing massive damage to most types of Grineer soldier, and Infested Ancients. Whilst it does deal significantly less damage to Proto Shields, the sheer amount of damage is more than enough to 'bulldoze' through such defenses.

Synergizes well with a Magnetic-spec'd Synapse or Amprex, for obvious reasons.

With additional Forma usage, Hornet Strike can be levelled up further, the ranks of the Pathogen Rounds and Convulsion mods can be bumped up to max, and the Pistol Ammo Mutation card could be swapped to something else (such as magazine capacity). No more than two to three additional Forma should be required to bring the weapon up to maximum performance.

This build could also be applied to the Vaykor Marelok without too much difficulty, though using Forma to switch the polarity of the innate -polarity slot will likely be necessary.
