Akstiletto – Standard Prime Build

The very first build that we will discuss is the Akstiletto Standard Prime Build. If you have made up your mind to get the Akstiletto to build, then there are high chances that you might need some substantial mods that can be useful for you in the mission.

This is because Akstiletto Standard build is a straightforward build and needs a lot of control over the high Impact Damage. Though there have been Convulsion mod and Corrosive damage mod that is standard damage mod, you might need a backup mod such as the Pummel.

The Augur Pact, Hydraulic Crosshairs can also be your go-to mods that are the most important and used in this build. Although you do not need the energy and efficiency in this mod as it is not necessary as well as not required that much, you can still go with the Vitality mod. This build also allows using of its Pathogen rounds or any other elemental damage mod as the build is pretty much about the damage only.

Full Status – Akstiletto Build

The next significant build is the Full status Akstiletto build that allows you to use the damage output that helps in killing a group of the mob in few seconds. However, in this build, the Energy Siphon and Corrosive Projection mod will not be the right choice, but you can choose to pick it up if you think you

Since the build requires a faster fire rate, you could switch to the Multishot ability of the Vigilante Armament. Damage output must be relatively high in the build. Otherwise, the focus will be lost. However, you must know that picking the right mods will help you win, but you will have to make sure that you are using the damage output and high-status chance in the build itself.

Conclusion:

By now, you must have understood that Akstiletto is a manipulative Warframe, and it can be hazardous for the enemy as it has some dreadful abilities and mods that can be used in the mission. However, to use these abilities, you should go through the polarity and projection of the builds and mods so that you use the right set of mods together. So, the only thing that you will be needed to worry about is the elemental and damage mods.
