[Koumei], the Threads' Mistress build.

Disclaimer

Hello Tenno. This is my first ever guide for Warframe, after watching and learning from other talented people way better at this than me. But! I finally managed to create something that, I think, works well enough to be presented and tested by the community. So, I hope you'll enjoy it.

This build started as a fun way to make [Koumei] work to my liking. I can't promise you that it will take her to the highest endgame content available but it is enough to enjoy some steel path runs.

[Overview]

This Threads' Mistress build revolves aroung the use of [Koumei]'s 1st and 4th ability. We want to inflict the maximum amount of different Status to the enemies, while preventing them from reaching us and recharging our shields via Condemn.
With a good Status weapon, this build can deal a lot of damage, while staying mobile and surviving (I'm using the [Kuva Kohm] at the moment and it works really well).

I wanted to focus this build more around the Duration and Range stats, while having more effects via the Archon mods and the many Status we'll inflict with our skills.

Playstyle

• On mission start, use Omamori (3rd ability) and refresh as soon as it disappears.

• Use Condemn to regain shield or to immobilize enemies. Really useful for your survivability and Arcane Efficiency.

• Try to find big enemies' packs, use Kumihimo and Bunraku to apply as much Status as possible. Sweet, sweet numbers...

• Get your gun out and start pewpewing. Enjoy and repeat. In that order.

Main elements

• The Archon [Trinity] ([Continuity], [Stretch] and [Vitality]) are mandatory for the build. They give us stats as well as additionnal effects very powerful for our playstyle. I didn't put Archon Intensify in there, as I prefered Equilibrium for survivability and energy management.

• Arcane Impetus is a must have in the build. This is our main source of Ability Strength, outside of Precision Intensify but this one only impact our 4th ability.

• [Equilibrium] or similar tools for energy management are a must too. We are very Energy hungry, as we spam our skills a lot.

The rest of the build

I like to use the Augur's mods to regain shields without having to spam Condemn but I think they can be changed. The same goes for [Precision Intensify], I'm pretty confident that Umbra [Intensify] and Fiber could be nice in the build but I haven't tried them yet.

[Rolling Guard], [Growing Power] and [Cunning Drift] are purely a choice for survivability and confort of use than anything else, feel free to try other setups!

Archon Shards

Regarding shards, my recommandation for this build are:

• 2 Amber shards (Casting Speed)
• 3 Crimson shards (Ability Strength)

Thanks for reading, hope you'll have a blast trying [Koumei]!
