Warframe: Time stop Nekros build

This isn’t a “Steel Path to level cap” kinda build. It’s more for highish level lazy materials farming. You replace Shadows of the Dead with Gloom, which gives Nekros a reliable heal to offset the health loss from Despoil. Use Soul Punch if you want to create shadows instead. I use Umbral Vitality to get more health and power strength. Adaptation also helps with survivability, but you can replace it with whatever durability mods you need. For very high level, I’d recommend Rolling Guard instead.

Terrify gives you 3 things – CC, slow, and armor strip. Full armor strip occurs at 167% power strength, which is why I have Power Drift. Archon Shards are another option to hitting that with only Umbral Intensify. When you stack Creeping Terrify with Gloom, enemies basically stop moving entirely.

The rest of the mods are pretty optional as well. Continuity and Streamline are nice for maintaining energy, but you can use Equilibrium, Primed Flow, Arcane Energize, or Zenurik or whatever. As long as there’s something there to maintain energy. At least some range is required since Terrify, Gloom, and Desecrate all need it. I don’t really like using Overextended because you have to put a lot of other mods on to get the power strength you need back. You can replace Streamline with Auger Reach if you want +75% range.

Note: You could also use Helminth to add Terrify to Nova or Sevagoth to get a similar double slow effect.
