Ash is a deadly Warframe that hunts his prey from the shadows, stalking and waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
Dealing swift attacks and teleporting across the field, Ash takes enemies out one by one until none are left to kill.
Ash can disappear without a trace and may eliminate groups of enemies within seconds with the help of his shadow clones.
Warframe Ash Builds
1) Standard Build (All Around Build)
The Standard Build build allows Ash to cast all of his abilities, which mainly rely on everything but Ability Duration.
The only ability that is affected greatly by Ability Duration is Smoke Screen and aside from that ability, everything else will be more efficient.
This build is great for players who are new to using Ash and will allow them to alter the build later into one that suits their preference.
2) Nuke Build (High Ability Strength Build)
The Nuke Build for Ash allows him to deal more damage with his abilities while having a reduction to Ability Strength.
A lower Ability duration does not greatly impact Ash and he will still be able to efficiently deal damage to enemies.
Efficiency is boosted to 135% with this build, reducing energy costs while Ability Strength has been maxed for higher damage.
Shuriken and Blade Storm become very important in this build, being the main damage sources for Ash with such stats.
3) Seeking Shuriken Build (Armor Reduction Build)
The Seeking Shuriken Build is meant to deal high amounts of damage and reduce the armor of surviving enemies on a large scale.
With the Seeking Shuriken augment, enemies that have been hit by Ash’s Shuriken ability will take even more damage.
This allows you to easily deal insane amounts of damage to enemies because the augment mod’s effect is affected by Ability Strength.
Enemies with high amounts of armor can easily be taken out, which is why they survive the initial damage from the Shuriken.
4) Fatal Teleport Build (Finisher Build)
The Fatal Teleport Build allows the player to make use of the Fatal Teleport augment which causes them to perform a finisher instantly when teleporting to an enemy.
This allows them to deal even more damage to enemies you attack using the ability, dealing increased Finisher Damage which is increased by Ability Strength.
Ash can use this build to easily take enemies out in the field, crossing large distances as he teleports to each enemy and kills them.
With the Fatal Teleport augment, Ash will also regain energy when using Teleport and successfully killing an enemy.
5) Rising Storm Build (Combo Hits Build)
The Rising Storm Build focuses on providing Ash with a higher combo counter and allows him to sustain it using the Blade Storm ability.
Since the Rising Storm augments damage done by your shadow clones to increase your combo counter.
The duration of your combos gains an additional 10 seconds before disappearing, making it easier to keep your combo going.
This is effective for melee builds that focus on dealing critical damage mixing your combat with the use of Blade Storm.
Verdict
Ash is great for taking out enemies quickly and can deal a ton of damage depending on the Mods that you equip him with.
Sometimes players would often utilize specific abilities and focus on increasing stats for them while others tend to focus on multiple ones.
Focusing on increasing Ash’s Ability Strength can result in you being able to deal a lot of damage but maintaining the other stats is also important for overall performance.
