User:User Talk/Tigris River Build

Like the River, this build can sustain those who feel they are chosen to wield the highly underrated and unorthodox Tenno double-barreled shotgun. I impart this knowledge to those who seek to make the most out of this weapon, nothing more.

You will need:

1 Orokin Catalyst.

4 Forma (2 V polarities, 2 Line polarities)

A moderate degee of patience in waiting for your prey to cluster for optimal shots.

Mods
Point Blank - Rank 5.

Blaze - Rank 5

Hell's Chamber - Rank 5

Vicious Spread - Rank 5

Seeking Force - Rank 4

Tactical Pump - Rank 5

Cleanse Corpus/Grineer/Infested - Rank 5

Chilling Grasp/Charged Shell/Contagious Spread (or Toxic Barrage)/Incendiary Coat - Rank 5

Loadouts
This build is primarily used for the main three enemy groups, as indicated by the Cleanse mods required for this build. I have courteously added the Incendiary Coat for those who desire to take it into the Void.

For Infested: Cleanse Infested and Contagious Spread (or Toxic Barrage if you have it) to combine with the Blaze mod to create Gas damage. This makes the weapon satisfactory in terms of dealing with light infested.

Note: Despite their weakness to Gas damage, and the inclusion of Tactical Pump, it is probable you will still get swarmed by light infested if you do not remain diligent in killing them as soon as they appear. This shotgun's overwhelming Slash damage in conjunction with your Gas mods will still annihilate most light infested even at medium range, so do not be afraid of using it farther away since even a near-miss is capable of killing any light infested.

For Corpus: Cleanse Corpus and Chilling Grasp. Since Corpus do not have any particular weakness or defense against Blast damage, this makes the Tigris effective against most Corpus enemies, and the opportunities for the knockdown proc give it passable crowd control capabilities. Merely switch Tactical Pump to the second Line polarity, and Chilling Grasp to where Tactical Pump previously was to make room.

For Grineer: Cleanse Grineer and Charged Shell. Some would argue the most problematic Grineer for a Tenno to encounter are those who are classified as wearing Alloy Armor. Napalms, Bombards, Eviscerators, Elite Lancers, and numerous Grineer bosses all wear Alloy Armor, which this Radiation damage build chews through.

For the Void: The Tigris can function here by using Incendiary Coat to buff the Fire damage already granted by Blaze, and replacing one of the Cleanse damage mods with Chilling Grasp to make an extremely powerful Blast damage shotgun.
