The other sentients also gain the viral damage but they have much lower status chance compared to the Ortholyst which has 300% in the artillery mode and 100% on normal shots, spreading lots of viral very quickly. Unfortunately they don't appear to gain damage types like electric from abilities anymore, but nourish still works for some reason.
Neat! How aggressive are they, & will casting time speed-up affect their speed & animations. Because... I noticed a lot of movement, but couldn't make out very much shooting.
I do wonder if DE will ever provide more ways to add elements on companions,wasnt theorem arcanes for that? Anyway loving the rework,i just saw my silly sentient slap a heavy gunnee to death with tesla nervos (for nuking) tho im not surprised of ortholyst are the popular pick
even without the subsume caliban is a banger tank i went into steel path survival and nothing could kill me along with the fact when i did at some point lose my shields the whole thing just compleatly refilled all the way to 1800 in just 1 move
How would a build just centered around his artillery summons work? I liked his rework but I can't think of a build. This is good, I wanted something more like xaku
This is basically what you want actually. Unless you already proc viral through something else, then use roar. Roar also boosts damage but wont add viral obviously
There's no point in having sentient charge your shields when in sp got obliterated in 1 hit and have to wait the time recharge delay even with sentients there
I actually have no problem with survivability did a 40 min sp conjunction survival and had no deaths my shields only broke from thax doing their special attack. Also brief respite will make them recharge your shields after ability cast.
@@BoochieKatt i get shield break pretty easy on sp void from bombard, but nothing impossible to manage My point was that is weird having sentient recharging constantly my shield but still have the shield delay
caliban is a beast, what more could you want he has Inf shields from his 1 & lifts enemy's and does damage vulnerability and armor strips along with the fact his 1 basically is like nidus 1st ability and his 4 addeds damage to his 2 which is already crazy and his buddys not only give him meat shields the spinning guys copy you when you do 4 so now you can just nuke with caliban
@@grendelirl5426 or maybe i've played enough time to know when a frame is lame even with all the massive buff Frost got massive buffs, yareli needs to be redone from zero And not to be cruel, but even inaros today is still better than her
yeah with 500/s shield restoration and infinite shieldgate. Also with damage increase, paired with furis incarnon and torid... Caliban is tier S banger
Dude. You press 1 in a room full of enemies and you basically become a god with how much energy, health, shield, and over shield you are gaining like what are you talking about bro?
@@martinruston I'mma be real. What you basically just said was "All that matters is the gun" because literally your description of "500/s shield restoration and infinite shieldgate" could be describing Dante, Harrow, Hildryn, Protea, styanax and trinity as long as you just recast their respective abilities... exactly like how caliban would have to recasting his respective ability for the infinite shields. Sure a damage vulnerability is cool but with said weapons like furis and torid, a 1 shot weapon is going to still be a 1 shot weapon even if you double its damage.
@@MyLolmom If we talking about 9999 cascade - yes, only weapon, there is some scaling abilities like in xaku, sevagoth (not so comfortable), maaaaybe dante. And caliban boosts weapons very well, pairing with control and easy headshots (2), armor strip (4). Shields is constantly generated by 3rd, so you literally immortal with easiest shieldgate Dante, harrow, hildryn and protea is not so good weapon buffers, survivors and supports at the same time as caliban now. Some of them have bad not comfortable armor strip (protea)

If you use thereom infections they can apply heat
@@NinjaMaster23145 Nobody uses those but sure
Inb4 they make nourish not work on his sentients

“You’re a longg way from Texas boi” - Caliban from Team Fortress 2
Caliban main here
You are the first person youtube showed me talking about him since the update
Viral from nourish also seems to work with Nova's null star for some reason which allow you to spread viral with it
"That engineer is a bloody... Sentry"
taken literally
@@mavolent6332 “HOOOOHOHO HAHAAA…..🤣”
Nekros needs a buff like this for his shadows
Calichads got nothing but Ws with this update

theres the element claws right

Yeah he can be a helminth-less frame now if you want which is good, but his 1 is still best as viral imo.
@@Darthmufin agreed
TAUximum damage!
caliban is more engineer than vauban and protea and i'm oddly happy with that
Amazing rework and a ballin deluxe skin in one update. Caliban mains are winning rn.
Really glad I watched this before I took my caliban the opposite direction and built off the spin
His reworked first ability is fine, but its mostly a minor defense tool. if you dont have helminth yet its perfectly fine
How would a build just centered around his artillery summons work? I liked his rework but I can't think of a build. This is good, I wanted something more like xaku

His first is now good
I don't have augur secrets, what's a good replacement for it?
Power drift perhaps, but thats only 15%

I hope they dont fix this Nourish working with summons
Not a bug nourish affects all allies

Idk why jan thought that was a bug, it works on, on call crew which is really op

I was kinda hoping for something better but I mean... At least he's not (arguably) the worst frame ingame now.
He never been the worst, yareli existed
@@frosttheicelord1497Even tho I hate her theme Yareli is good now
@@frosttheicelord1497 Yareli got massive buffs. She's pretty good now.
Bro must be Brozime fan, because if he is not Protea level is shit
@@grendelirl5426 or maybe i've played enough time to know when a frame is lame even with all the massive buff
Frost got massive buffs, yareli needs to be redone from zero

Ngl the 1 really need a chance/rework and some qol for the rest of his kit, Thx for that DE and he's still mid
