[Builds] Trinity Bless and EV- Raid Worthy




Trinity Prime is out and Trinity's (Vanilla or Prime) never been more in demand.

 EV has been a staple since the nerf of Mag's Greedy Pull Augment and Bless is a viable replacement for frost especially when the mission is not as static as defense or Mobile Defense. This makes a really good Bless Trinity important in raids.

I'll showcase My EV Build and Bless build pointing out the most important stats for each.

EV Trinity


Ev Trinities are relatively easy to build for and are very common given the demand. This particular trinity build replaced Mag as the "battery" of the team after the greedy pull nerf.


The most important aspects of the build are Min Duration, Range and Power Strength.

Given that the energy is delivered throughout the duration of Energy Vampire (EV), the lower the duration the faster the energy is delivered.

Range affects the max distance teammates can be and still benefit from EV.

Power Strength directly affect the amount of energy provided.

I left the 2nd D unpolarized and placed a Redirection there. That's a free slot that you can use for any mod you think will help the build.

you don't need as many polarities in Trinity Prime. I just put that much to fit in the Lightning Dash.

56 energy X 4 Pulses for a total of 224 energy over a radius of 58.75 meters.

Execution

EV trinity just spams EV. With the augment, you provide shields (and overshields) plus energy so your team mates can spam their powers.



Bless Trinity

Bless Trinity is more difficult to build and execute compared to EV Trinity because of the nature of the skill.

Bless Trinities take advantage of the damage reduction from their ultimate, Bless. It can go up to a maximum of 99% based on how much health (percentage missing) from the health of the team mate with the lowest health. So if you have 1/100 health and cast Bless you will get 99% damage reduction (DR) for the duration of the ability. You also get healed by the ability.

So aside from the Warframe you also need a weapon that will damage you enough, but not kill you. Thrown weapons are the best option here given that these do not run out of ammo and deal enough damage to get you 99% DR if built correctly.


The most important aspect of the build is Duration. You just need Intensify to get max healing.

I placed Stretch so i can EV in a pinch.

Streamline is can be replaced with any mod you deem helpful.

Flow (Primed or Vanilla) works with Quick Thinking to keep you alive with VERY low health so you can take advantage of the maximum DR rating of 99%.

Duration directly affects the length of the DR buff to your team.

Power Strength affects the amount of Shields and Health healed. As mentioned above, Intensify can provide enough to max the healing.

Try to polarize the Aura slot. "-" is very versatile allowing you to equip Enemy Radar (ER), Corrosive Projection (CP) or Energy Siphon (ES). Both Rejuvenation and Physique make it more difficult for Bless Trinities to get the highest possible DR from Bless.

Rejuvenation restores your health all the time so you might find yourself with 95% DR instead of 99% while Physique increases your health pool. If you have too much health you end up getting less DR from bless or more attempts at self damaging before you can get 99% DR.

30.7 Seconds of the DR buff thanks to all the duration mods and the Arcane Aura Helm.

Execution

Bless Trinity starts the cycle by damaging herself, then casts bless to get the highest possible DR. Then she has to wait for the ability to expire to repeat this.

you can also manually restart the cycle by casting bless at very low DR values then damaging yourself. This is useful when you are about to go into a dangerous area or a boss fight. It's also useful when you need to recast after someone is revived or after someone joins the game.

The best Bless Trinities strive to keep the buff up 100% of the time.

Reactively casting bless is a futile tactic since more often than not you never are fast enough. the method above is more reliable in terms of providing a consistent DR buff.

Weapon of Choice; Glaive Prime



This build allows you to deal damage directly to your health, bypassing shields, due to the toxin damage type.

Power Throw makes your thrown weapon explode on the last bounce or when you press the left mouse button (LMB) mid flight. It can be very tricky to time it consistently to deal self damage so you need Quick Return. This mod reduces the number of bounces by 4 at max level, making the first bounce the last hence making it explode on contact.

All these mods work so that you can throw the Glaive at your feet and get damaged by the explosion. This can then be followed up quickly with your ultimate, Blessing, to give you a lot of DR.

Hope this helps! Thanks for reading.
