Augment Mods can play a big part in perfecting some of the Warframe builds that you can use and with the arrival of Techrot Encore, you get new options for some of them.
The Techrot Encore update has added 4 new Warframe Augment Mods for Wisp, Gyre, Qorvex, and Koumei and these can be obtained from syndicates.
Depending on which Warframe you use, these can come in handy and it would be ideal to collect them for later on if you decide to make new builds for them.
How To Equip Augment Mods?
Equipping Augment Mods can be done the same way you would other Mods, which allows you to add them to any of the 8 regular slots you have.
These cannot be placed in Aura or Exilus Slots though, which makes it important to decide on what slots you will need to free up to add them.
List of New Augment Mods
1) Cataclysmic Gate (Wisp Sol Gate)
Cataclysmic Gate causes Wisp and 2 Spectral Images to cast a single blast of Sol Gate, which leaves an area with 500 Heat Damage per second.
Additionally, enemies hit by Sol Gate are guaranteed to be inflicted with Heat and Radiation Status Effects for 10 seconds.
Cataclysmic Gate can be purchased from Cephalon Suda and New Loka.
2) Conductive Sphere (Gyre Arcsphere)
Once Arcsphere has been cast, projectiles that pass through it will have a guaranteed Electricity Status Effect.
Additionally, these projectiles will also gain an extra 75% Electricity Damage by passing through the Arcsphere.
Conductive Arcsphere can be purchased from Arbiters of Hexis and The Perrin Sequence.
3) Fused Crucible (Qorvex Crucible Blast)
Fused Crucible turns the Crucible Blast into a channeled ability that consumes 20 Energy per second when cast.
Chyrinka Pillars will trigger chain reactions, and their duration will be frozen while casting at the cost of reduced mobility.
Fused Crucible can be purchased from Cephalon Suda and Steel Meridian.
4) Omikuji Fortune (Koumei Omikuji)
Omikkuji’s Fortune causes the cooldown of Omikuji to be reduced by 4 seconds whenever you kill an enemy with the weapon affected by Koumei’s Passive.
This makes it possible for you to cast Omikuji more often if you kill enemies affected by Koumei’s Passive.
Fused Crucible can be purchased from Arbiters of Hexis and New Loka.
Verdict
These Augment Mods can be game changers if you happen to use certain Warframes, especially if they can tweak your build to perfection.
Adding an Augment Mod can sometimes mean you will need to adjust your builds, sacrificing certain Mods that you already have equipped.
Mixing and matching different Mods after adding an Augment Mod can be a great way to ensure your build works properly instead of swapping out a random pick.
