Sirius & Orion bring a unique playstyle to Warframe by allowing you to swap between two forms, each with their own abilities, strengths, and role during missions.
Because both forms have separate ability kits, builds can be tailored toward damage, support, crowd control, healing, or a balance of everything, depending on how you prefer to play.
Whether you focus on maximizing Celestial Clash damage, boosting survivability, or improving utility across both forms, there are several ways to build Sirius & Orion effectively.
Sirius Builds
Standard Build (Balanced Build)
Our Standard Build for Sirius is more of a starter build that you can utilize and later change, allowing you to test out the abilities or have a steady build until you want to modify it.
This provides Sirius with a good amount of Ability Strength to increase the damage output of his abilities and improve healing done with Light’s Sanctuary.
Archon Vitality has been added to the build to further increase his Ability Power when he uses Light’s Sanctuary, and the rest of his abilities can be utilized without any drawbacks.
Nuker & Healer Build (Ability Strength Build)
Sirius can deal a great amount of damage depending on how he is used, and with an insane increase in Ability Strength, not only do his abilities deal more damage, but Light’s Sanctuary heals more, too.
Ability Efficiency has been reduced; this does not really mean it is a downside, since the energy costs of his abilities are not that high, switching to Orion and vice versa gives 45% efficiency for 2 casts.
This also increases the damage dealt with Celestial Clash, allowing Sirius to deal insane amounts of damage, especially when Orion has a similar high Ability Strength build.
AOE Build (Range and Duration Build)
A decent balance between Ability Range and Duration can make Sirius’ abilities even more effective, but that’s not the end of it because Ability Strength has also been increased.
Sirius’ abilities become more effective in terms of more damage and healing, with the additional bonus of having increased range as well as duration.
This build can be useful for longer missions or when you have gotten used to Sirius’ abilities, allowing you to utilize his abilities better.
Orion Builds
Standard Build (Balanced Build)
Similar to Sirius, we utilize a Standard Build with almost the same set of mods, which is supposed to give Orion enough stats to fully utilize his abilities in most missions.
With a little more focus towards Ability Range to affect enemies in a larger area, this allows Orion to utilize his skills for damage, but also to apply their effects.
One of the abilities that Orion has that can benefit from the increased range is Gravitic Slash, to affect more targets with the debuff, as well as Event Horizon to suck in more targets.
Nuker & Debuff Build (Ability Strength Build)
Orion can deal massive amounts of damage when his Ability Strength is high, and this is mainly for Celestial Clash, but things don’t end there.
All of Orion’s damage-dealing abilities benefit from Ability Strength, making this an extremely effective build if you are looking to deal more damage.
When both Sirius and Orion have builds with increased Ability Strength, Celestial Clash is capable of hitting numbers that reach a million in damage.
Crowd Control Build (Range and Duration Build)
When Orion is not the only offense you have in mind, you can also utilize his abilities to establish crowd control in missions, but that doesn’t mean he can’t deal damage too.
This build boosts his Ability Range and Duration, making Gravitic Slash hit more enemies, and Event Horizon disrupts and pulls them from an even greater distance.
Casting Event Horizon can be amazingly helpful with this build when it comes to certain situations, capable of turning a group of enemies into sitting ducks that just ragdoll everywhere.
Sirius & Orion Playstyle
Separate Ability Utilization
Utilizing each of Sirius’ and Orion’s abilities strategically can help you disable groups of enemies, deal damage in a large area, and even make the fight easier for you and your allies.
Celestial Clash
Focusing on casting and switching between Sirius & Orion allows you to set up Celestial Clash, and doing this often will allow you to unleash insane amounts of damage in missions.
Offense & Support
Some find it easier to utilize Sirius or Orion as their main and offensive character, while others will be utilized as a support to cast their abilities.
Verdict
Sirius & Orion offer a flexible experience that lets you switch between offensive and supportive playstyles without feeling locked into a single role.
Their builds can be adjusted to focus on raw Ability Strength, wider area coverage, stronger healing, or a balanced setup that performs well in almost any mission type.
Once you get comfortable swapping between both forms and combining their abilities, Sirius & Orion become one of the more rewarding Warframes to build around and master.
