CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Venari's claws have an 86% crit base and a 6.4x multiplier. Hunter Synergy inherits your primary's crit and status, so a high-crit primary statstick pushes the cat into red crits.

The mods

Bite plus Maul plus Precision Conditioning are the crit and damage core; Shocking Claws makes it electric; Shock Collar adds a ranged zap; Hunter Synergy inherits crit and status from a high-crit primary statstick (Paris Prime Incarnon, Kuva Chakkhurr, Lenz).

Where it struggles

Khora-locked.

Needs the primary statstick.

Venari picks its own targets.

Variants

The Bonded Cat (#376) is the Venari support build.

Who runs this

Khora players who want Venari as a damage pet.
