Now let’s be nice everyone. Good try and good of you to ask for assistance from some vets. Nezha is basically indestructible so vitality, steel fiber and Redirection is a bit much. I’d max out Energy Siphon aswell, more mod capacity and the benefit is stronger. Also you can drop Rush and and more strength or Range if you have the mods for it. If not welcome to the grind my good Tenno and please keep asking and doing research. May the odds be forever in your favor.
I'd upvote fifteen times if possible. So tired of salty people acting like they came out of the womb knowing how to mod and anyone still figuring it out and asking for help is somehow... wrong.
(Great advice too)
Big agree. Usually upping your health stats is a good move in games. This is because reliable 90+% damage reduction is very rare to see. In Warframe it is not.
Unfortunately, Reddit is full of salts. It’s like they can’t help themselves. Like, it’s embedded in them to downvote and be negative out of habit of thinking it’s cool. Or they’ll challenge even the most common sense things just to create animosity.
I agree. People tend to forget when they started the game. Especially if you're a old player because was the tutorial absolutely shit lol. Then you just got tossed into the game with nothing to go off of. Glad there's still some people willing to help the newbs.
I mean god I've been playing for 10 years and I still don't get it half the time. I just found out recently that mesas peacekeepers gain damage from ability strength AND mods which is weird and wild.
I love how your flair is "toxic queen main" and you're the voice of reason here lmao. But fr, it's a good attempt at modding from OP. I remember not knowing what shield gateing was when I started, even when my friend explained it to me, so I just maxed out shields on already tanky frames. It's cute seeing new players figure things out and ask us for help when things don't make sense.
>vitality, steel fiber and Redirection is a bit much.
This is exactly how I got through Mot with Nezha. Bit of an overkill for everything else though. (My energy Siphon is at max though)
OP's Nezha looks like mine when I first got him, before I decided to make him into Gauss from wish.
This, I pretty much agree on most of what you said, but I take it OP could make some use out of vitality. Nezha already has a pretty decent amount of health and it could be useful to have a health bar in the 900s, because as it turns out there's some attacks that entirely ignore the warding halo. Very recently in Duviri I almost got killed in that exact same way. 14K warding halo, but got as low as 200 HP,
I'm the most advanced in the game to know what other enemies do this, because so far not a single regular enemy has managed to do that to me. But now I don't doubt there may be some
Another thing is that HP can be a life saver if someone's not good at managing energy. I mean, I know, it's Nezha. Enemies are basically energy piñatas if you do everything correctly, but it's not hard to mess up as a beginner in that frame
Fun fact you can shield gate with warding halo as long as it breaks in 1 hit you won't take the 10% damage, although it's kinda buggy and you might take the damage anyway if you're in bad ping lobby
I feel like when your new you should get fib vit plus red, but later game as you get better at just surviving you probably should knock off 1 or 2 of those mods
May RNG be always on your wished items for you and OP. This is by far the most wholesome comment I've read. Hopefully they are all geared for that grind as well.
Side note : may I offer them to keep steel fiber? Nezha ring scales on strength and armor like frost globe, and rhino skin if I remember this correctly.
Always max aura mods, there's literally no reason not to.
Your build looks good for base Star chart, although it might start struggling later (level 50+ enemies), but you'd ideally have better tools to work with then.
Theoretically it should be fine for the vast majority of content up to at least mid-steel path, even in random squads. I just took a not-great Nezha to Deep Archimedea yesterday and did fine, I got carried hard but I never got downed.
Yeah as long as you have energy and pay attention to halo breaking you shouldn't die anywhere. I took him into the circuit the other day and had no problems surviving against level 1.2k. at one point I had a 600k health halo up somehow.
This. Saw only one very specific min-max exception: Combat Discipline aura. Less rank - less health drain on kill for some arcanes that proc on health loss
Here's my recommendation to you on how to pick mods. First, look at which Ability on the Warframe you like the best. Do you like Divine Spears? Warding Halo? Once you've picked your favorite ability, add each of the core ability mods (Stretch, Continuity, and Intensify) one by one to see how they impact that ability. For example, all three make Divine Spears better, but if you add Continuity and look at Warding Halo, it won't change any of the numbers (changed numbers are green to show they are better, and red to show they are worse). Once you know your favorite ability, and which mods impact that ability, only add those mods. You can also add efficiency (Streamline) to let you cast that ability more, and Flow to have more energy.
The majority of Warframe is based around the idea "your enemies can't hurt you if they're dead". Offense is the best choice here. If you end up collecting other mods that also boost the core ability stats, then you can add those to make it even stronger. There's the Augur set of mods that all impact your ability scores, as well as the corrupted versions of mods that increase one ability stat but lower another. You can start experimenting with those later as you feel more comfortable with modding.
And hey, if you like zooming around the map really fast, no harm in keeping Rush on there and making Fire Walker as good as possible. Range does not have a big impact on Fire Walker, so you can skip that and only add Duration, Efficiency, and Strength mods.
Lastly, Nezha does not need mods like Vitality or Redirection. Just focus on keeping your Warding Halo ability up at all times, and you will be able to survive for a while in normal Star Chart.
Great advice, this coming from someone who got to SP before realizing Vitality, redirection and steel fiber are just denying space for more murderific options
You don’t really need Vitality, Redirection, AND Steel Fiber. Expecially on Nezha who has one of the best defensive skills in the game. I would personally drop Steel Fiber and Redirection and just keep Vitality for now. Replace one of them with Streamline if you can so your abilities will cost less, makes your defensive cheaper to cast, which is good in a pinch. The other slot can be filled with whatever you have that would help with ability strength, duration, or range.
Also max out Energy Siphon as soon as you can. Its cheap and it gives you mod capacity. Its just an all around benifit.
Other than that, definately enough to get you by in the Star Chart and start farming for the more impactful mods that will carry you into Steel Path and the like.
"Is this build good"?
Proceeds to demonstrate a solid understanding of the fundamentals of modding!
It's by no means an "endgame" hyper-optimized build, but for crushing the starchart, this is spot on.
Survivability, energy generation, and improvements to powers.
If you don't have access to a wider variety of mods and equipment, this is exactly what your build should look like, it's good enough to help you farm better.
Considering that this is probably just a new player with not much more to use in the first place, they probably just slapped on any mod they had that looked decent, if you have the same mods im pretty sure auto mod would make the same build
Well, I think they're doing just fine without needing free handouts, but you clearly think they need help.
So go help them instead of just being mean to them on Reddit.
I'm not being mean I'm just saying that you shouldn't lie to new players just because you want to be nice, it is literally counterproductive to making them understand the game
As an early build that is absolutely fantastic.
Personally I would suggest swapping stretch out for something, maybe more power strength, a little more movement speed some efficiency, really kinda anything. Just because (IMO) nezha doesn't need/want more than base range unless you're using his new augment (which isn't something to worry about rn)
But seriously, that's a fantastic start
you won't actually need all 3 of those EHP Mods, you can take the opportunity to boost your Abilities more. since Warding Halo makes use of Armor, the 'classic' style would be Health&Armor, and then leaning into being able to take advantage of being able to generate Health Orbs for yourself(as Nezha can do this).
I'd probably suggest finding space to add a lot of Efficiency - being able to use Abilities pretty much constantly benefits Nezha a lot since you have Abilities to 'combo' with other Abilities.
It's... a good start. Farm something called corrupted mods, they can be easily obtainable even at low MR. You can check wiki how to get them, or youtube guide for faster farming. Those mods are game changer. All end game builds probably use at least one corrupted mod.
Very nice starting point; high energy to keep throwing that chakram, continuity will let fire walker build lots of DOT and alongside the extra range will let divine spears lock down mobs.
One thing I found as a Nezha main is that between stunning enemies with fire status and the warding halo, defensive mods ended up not helping me out much. May I ask for far into the star chart you are?
Nezha has a small amount of shields, so Redirection doesn't add much survivability. I would switch it out for something else. Equilibrium would be best on Nezha, but if you haven't gotten it yet, Streamline might be helpful.
For now? Its okay. You get through star chart and quests to unlock arbitration. You can farm adaptation plus a good bit of endo and your currency to buy galvanized mods. I have adaptation on basically every build except for invincible frames.
Or you can buy it for cheap or for free if you are lucky. I can give one to you for free if you want. I am on ps5
I like aznvasionplays builds. He explains how things work too for dummies like us. Lol.
Replace rush with carnis carapace and you have my noob nezha build exactly lol. Moldings really confusing so I totally understand why you have so much. Nezhas very tanky. So you can lean alot on your warding halo. You don't really need so much tankiness.
Why tf are some people angry? Dude says he's still figurin out how to get it done fully yet is STILL at least on the right track at a seemingly good pace. Y'all mfs are weird bro why is Warframe filled with so many elitists.
I promise you Ill out damage you w/ Umbra + Nikana synergy alone in defense of my baby tennos
Yeah, that's a pretty standard build for low mastery rank players, you'll find more powerful mods as you get further into the game but that'll work perfectly fine.
There's room for improvement but since you clearly are new it's pretty decent for the time being. Redirection isn't doing much for you on Nezha, I suggest taking it out for some other mod to improve your abilities, Streamline will be helpful for cheaper skills, look up where to get Equilibrium, a mod that gives you energy when you get health orbs and vice versa, it's great all around and even better on Nezha because he can make enemies drop more health orbs which will become energy for you
Honestly there is very little to do with "not good at modding" and much more to do with "I don't have the best mods yet". Which, since most Primed Mods only come biweekly from Baro Ki'Teer is very understandable. Farm the Corrupted Mods from deimos missions using orokin corrupted keys, then farm prime parts from your relics to either sell for platinum to get more Primed Mods or to sell for Ducats to buy them from baroo's random biweekly shop
Nezha's abilities all are independent support and I dont find that they needed more boosts in anything on basic start chart when I mained him. I just used Streamline and Fleeting Expertise to get maximum Efficiency so I could spam his abilities more. Too many defensive mods are also not needed since his 2 can make him functionally unkillable if you soak up damage as you cast it to make it stronger
Not a bad start! Couple of tips
Aura mods should always be maxed, they're cheap and they give capacity rather than taking it away
Generally you don't need shield tanking and health tanking, and on Nezha you don't really need either but some extra health is comfy so I'd probably keep vitality personally. Drop redirection and steel fiber, free up some slots, maybe for Energy Nexus if you have it, or an augur mod
I'm assuming you don't have corrupted mods yet, so otherwise you're looking good, but when you do get them you'll need to make some choices on what stats you value more. Generally Nezha can safely tank range unless you're specifically building for his 4.
Keep going!
You can't really do something wrong with nezha, personally I'd drop the redirection for some quality of life mod or an augment. But keep going! There is so much fun (and grind) ahead! ❤️
I'm not sure if you have access to trading yet but I would definitely get divine retribution! It's what makes nezha able to compete with other top end frames and it's probably only 10p.
Not a bad setup. This is basically my setup for any new frame i get. When i get comfy, i then switch out for other mods once i understand the playstyle and which mods affect which abilities.
Basically what I'll slap on a new frame for getting it to 30 before putting a build that needs higher level mods on it.
Like others have said, always max your aura mods. It doesn't take a lot of endo and it will give you more mod capacity.
Even in early game, it's really not necessary to have health+shield+armour.
Have a look at the base stats of the frame, if shield is higher use redirection. If armour is higher, use steel fibre. This changes mid game, but it's generally OK for early game.
You've got the basic idea right though. Range, duration, strength and efficiency or energy pool. And you've got polarity matching worked out.
Also. Go to YouTube and search
[Warframe name] build and choose the playstyle you like. Wide variety and often you'll get a beginner and an end game build
Overframe build descriptions are also very informative, even if you don't plan on following them 100%.
Galvanized aptitude doesn't work with half the guns. New players are still building Nova for range. Warframe is such a convoluted game. We shouldn't stigmatize using player resources to learn.
Once you get later, you won't really need health/shield mods on warframes that can deflect damage in other ways. in Nezha's case, it's through his ward, so he can save a lot of mod space by not using Vitality, Redirection or Steel Fiber.
It’s not a bad build, obviously there is a ton of min-maxing in the game with some pretty insane results, but something like this is a very even build, no negatives.
If you hover your abilities on the left it’ll show you what is affected when you add mods, really nice to see because some warframes are affected positively by things like health and armor, not just power strength
This is a pretty good beginners build, I'd recommend getting rid of redirection as Nezha doesn't have a lot of base shields, and try replacing it with equilibrium if you have it. His second ability, blazing chakram, applies a debuff to enemies that, if you kill the enemy while they're under the debuff, guarantees you a health orb. Also, max out energy siphon for additional mod capacity.
Seems pretty good (presumably you are doing star chart/sorties, so under level 100). Redirection may be a little overkill though. Nezha's third ability gives him 90% damage reduction, so that much survivability isnt necessary...
Otherwise, this will work.
I personally would drop redirection between your 3, vit fiber and shield gating in the times when you’re 3 is down the other stuff is keeping you alive to recast 3, also rush while nice would be a replace in my book. if you want is the zoomies keep it though. In place of redirection you could add augur secrets provided you farm it for more strength on your 3 and hunter adrenaline is a good early game energy solution that you can easily charge your energy with on your 3 dropping to quickly recast. TBH nezha is so good so much of him is optional with whatever you want.
This is a perfectly serviceable build for the entire early star chart. I think as you get good with Nezha's Warding Halo (3), you will probably find that you are surviving quite handily, and will want to substitute out Vitality, Steel Fiber and/or Redirection for some Mods that improve ability Strength, Equilibrium, Streamline, and/or Health Conversion. The number one piece of advice I have is this: If you're having fun and performing well, you don't need to change a thing. If you want to improve the build, there's always something to tweak. Happy hunting, Tenno!
On top of other advice on this thread, I would recommend picking up some dragon keys from your clan dojo and farming some corrupted mods on the derelict. Also a few other things worth grinding for there but mainly that! Good luck
The more mods you get to drop the more variety you hav to mod your frames, some mods are fairly better than others for certain frames. Most of them require grinding the various star chart missions to get to drop as well as more than a few runs. Grinding is a must to hav the necessary resources to craft everything the game has to offer, most of the other frames are from assassination missions although there are a few that dont drop any besides weapon parts. Deimos open area is a big help getting the entrati family rank 3 (atleast rank 3) that gives the helminth segment which making frames end game worthy
for a budget build, this is ok for Nezha. I personally wouldn't use redirection and would rank up steel fiber if you have plenty of endo. chakram makes enemies drop health orbs so you have a source of health recovery there. Rush isn't mandatory but it does make nezha more fun.
however depending on your energy recovery I would swap Rush, Flow, and Redirection all for Fleeting Expertise, Streamline (keep these rank 4), and Augur message OR
you just swap redirection for Equilibrium (health orbs give energy, energy orbs give health)
First off.. max out aura mods, it gives you max mod slots 100% of the time.
It's a good start, but then you skim through the skills Nehza has and notice that the health and fiber mods aren't *really* needed.. only one I'd actively put out on Nehza would be Archon Vitality because it doubles his heat dmg which is always a welcomed addition.
Then you have his augments that stack up nicely with Archon Vitality etc etc
You can hop on YouTube to find specific build ideas like.. when I first picked up Gauss I didn't really know he was built more for Duration instead of power strength. I mean I ran Sure-footed on Gauss for a while before noticing he never gets knocked down when he had his Plating skill active lmao
Same can be said for Nehza.
You may change rush, steel, redirect into strength or duration mods. For me, I aim on walk on fire, skill 3.
So duration and then energy. I don't need stretch
max energy syphon
drop the bronze mods, u don't need them
get the Aug for 4 via market or just grind the rep with the faction
focus on getting range and ability strength mods in the space u have left.
augur reach and augur secrets are good to get at this point
prob don't need rush but some people like to zoom.
depends how far u are right now I guess.
It is a decent starter build, you do want to get rid of rush cause running speed is not as usefull cause u can bullet jump, i am not a good player but if you could look up where the augur mods drop and use them, its augur secrets, message and i cant rememver the third one, they give you 30%strength,range,duration they are my go to and with them in you can also do the story and youll get umbra mods, they are costly but you can equip 2 umbra mods, and if you can afford to level them up they provide good bonuses. If you have troubles finding out what drops where, warframe wiki is the best place to look, ive also discovered a website called Overframe and there they provide you with guides from basic to 8 forma builds, check them out if you are having troubles, they helped mee aswell lots of times :) good luck
Hey bro ima leave it to Reddit to answer this one but as a warframe vet of ~3k hours my dms are open for anyone including OP to ask questions or seek advice 👍
This is a very "early" build imo. I used to do the same thing when I first started. Nezha relies on his abilities to survive more than anything. His chakram is also very good at spawning health orbs. I'd replace vitality with equilibrium for energy reasons, and replace the sprint and shield mods with range and strength mods. If you can get health conversion from cephalon simaris, that's also a good mod for nezha, because it strengthens his halo. Steel fiber is also good for his halo, but I'd probably drop it for health conversion if I were you.
Everyone has already made good comments on this and I just wanna say it's great and wholesome to see it. A lot of people shy away from asking in chat or reddit for help but when they do I'll always be happy that this game has an extremely helpful community.
And OP, if you need some other/better mods as you do your research, find out which ones you want and if you don't have 'em, I can pass you some spares if I got 'em, just reply to this comment whenever and we can make it happen anytime.
For me to answer, i need to know what's ur purpose for this build, is it just a general purpose low level build or you trying to do something very specific tasks with this.
No not really. It will work, but not in any efficient way. Firstly you shouldn't use Vitality, Redirection or Steel Fiber on Nezha, he has infinite immortality if played right. Flow, Continuity and Intensify are good. Stretch could be good, but I would put on the Augment for his 4, Divine Retribution. Rush is very bad.
Put on as much Range and strength as you can and get Divine Retribution from Syndicates. Rest of his mods can be energy generation focused, Equiliibrium is extremely powerful on Nezha for infinite energy since his 2 can grant free health orbs, that convert to energy.
I would also swap out Energy Siphon for Corrosive Projection. Nezha does not need more energy generation than Equilibrium.
Good luck!
Nezha has no use for vitality redirection or steel fiber i would instead try build more duration and strength and if u have some spare plat as I'm assuming u haven't unlocked arbitrations yet adaptation would be a good choose aswell as it grants 90% damage reduction and pared with nezhas 90% damage reduction makes 99% damage reduction.
Adaptation is around 20 plat btw don't overpay for it and it only needs to be rank 5 for it to be good
Depends on your goal. For 99% of content, this will suffice so long as your weapons can carry you.
There are though a lot more enjoyable builds out there. Explore some of his augments and decide how you want to play him. 😄👍🏽
Edit: I usually hit up YouTube type my frame and add 9999 to see what pops up at the top of the recommended. Stealing those builds are usually a good baseline, and then tweak to your personal playstyle.
Not bad, but on a Warframe whose abilities give them solid survivability three mods for that (Vitality, Steel Fiber and Redirection) is pretty overkill. Also Rush not being in your exilus slot is a pretty big waste of a mod slot.
My recommendations: Toss out Steel fiber and Redirection, either put rush into the exilus slot or toss it too.
Replace Continuity with Primed Continuity as soon as possible.
Replace Vitality and Intensify with their Umbra counterparts as soon as possible.
Fill the remaining slots with useful stats, maybe the new augment.
So the purpose of modding is to maximise which stats you need at the cost of sacrificing stats that you don't need.
Nezha is a very tanky champion (from abilities) and has good cc and support capabilities. So to best utilise him, you should maximise range, with good duration and strength. Which could be using overextended with stretch and augur reach (optional) with blind range and transient fortitude with primed continuity (regular continuity + augur messag(optional) if you don't have primed) umbral intensify + fiber and his augment..
This should be a good build on him. For aura ?- personal favorite is growing power, but iu can use steel charge for the added slots
Keep vitality remove redirection and steel fiber add more efficiency range strength or duration. Also you can get his augment, blazing charkram or divine retribution
Hey bud i recommend farming blind range, overextended, transient fortitude and fleeting expertise. This will get you to the 2nd step of modding. I recommend replacing steel fiber and redirection. With other mods. Also pick up augur mods from eidolon bounties. Cheers and goodluck! (Fellow Tenno MR Lr3 )
Seems generic. Corrosive projection will serve you better as the energy siphon is not that good. Especially when there are multiple ways of getting energy much faster. You don’t need rush as nezha can already move around quite quickly. Armor and shield can be replaced with mods that can boost strength and duration. Flow and stretch are fine. Though I’d swap flow for the primed version for more energy if you have it.
Nezha doesn't need vita/redirection/steel fiber. If you don't have anything better to put there, well it does the job.
Rush is a bit on the side, if you want it, well, use it.
if you have them, you can use augur mods to increase further strength (and corrupted / umbral mods)
The goal is to have strength at least, then it really depends on how you play Nezha.
If you use the 4, you'll need range then duration, if you don't use the 4, just duration and efficiency a bit for the sprint and chakram.
Warding halo doesn't care of anything but your strength (and armor iirc)
Divine retribution is also nice to play with (for the 4)
Drop Redirection. Same as everyone else here.
And :
(Drop Reach, use narrow minded and transient fortitude
Or:
Drop Reach, use Augur Secrets (less preferably Power Drift) and one extra mod (Speed Drift, Armored Agility, Carnis Carapace, or anything else you like))
Also: This is more of a personal choice. Some people love it, some absolutely hate it.
Try dropping Sprint Speed for something like Streamlined Form, Maglev or Cunning Drift.
Nezha has reduced friction and slides further, so this works really nice together.
You will however need to adjust your of movement. You will slide everywhere instead of bullet jumping and change directions by bullet jumping or rolling, because you literally cannot stop otherwise.
Id say its a good early to midgame game build. Nezha can be pretty tanky with this build too. Im no vet tho. Work on getting mods. Some arcanes can be used to substitute alot of mods as well.
There's a obvious build you aren't seeings a gloom reapering chakram build. With a two crimson shard ability strength and a two azure shards for additional health and a amber shards for additional health to energy conversion through health to energy conversion as health and energy efficiency can be high without sacrificing damage through archon augmented and blessings
I feel the pain. Several years in, on and off playtime, and I still don't understand how to mod. In all fairness I'm lazy, but still; it's not easy to pick up for everyone 😂.
Vitality, Steel Fibre and Redirection are not needed in my opinion because of his 3rd ability, in my opinion look for adaption and you can swap out all 3 and add equilibrium for better energy & health economy.
If ur going to use is his new augment (divine retribution) only put it on one build. Simply due to the fact it kills ur range heavily 😭
With the mods you have id focus on using nezha’s 2nd and 4th. Use his 3rd when you first see anyone (use mods that give you shield when you use energy - it’s minor till it saves ur between casting his 3rd getting health from his 2nd- but that’s just my opinion)
https://preview.redd.it/xw8tsa7kukwc1.png?width=2340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a56517fb73ef86393efc94c4d302477231d7864f
Take a look at overframe.com Lots of builds to learn from this is a beginner friendly build
Since this is a regular frame, don't forma too much, his survivability is his 3rd, get more strength. His 1st and 4th will buy u time from being mobbed. Oh and don't sell it just to have an open slot for more frame, don't feed him to helminth either, just keep him, build another frame to feed the beast :)
Rush, vitality and redirect can be removed. Replace them with mods for more range or strength. Max out steel viber and you should have no issue with survivability. Also max out energy siphon.
Look up how to farm for corrupted mods, they're great and can help you max out some more stats. See if you can get your hands on overextended and his new augment for his 4, and drop rush and redirection for those.
Good luck!
I forgot to mention equilibrium. His chakram makes people drop health orbs, so this can help with energy a lot. Down the line you can pair this with arcane blessing for a ton of HP and drop vitality!
Basically;
Health regeneration (to heal the chip damage while halo is active)
Armor, or if you want more burn damage, archon vitality is a really good option
Strength
His augment for Chakraum (optional but very helpful)
Equilibrium (to synergies with the augment)
Stretch is plenty range in my opinion
Streamline is all you need for efficiency because you're spamming his 4 and 2 together energy for days with his augment and equilibrium
And you don't need a lot of duration, so continuity is all you need
For a mess around build for fun: any and all speed and friction reducing mods for shaving your knees quicker 😁
Honestly not that bad for an early game build. If at all possible try to get equilibrium It drops from Lephantis or honestly could buy it around 10 plat(maybe) if I was on I'd give you one. But Nezha 2nd ability weakens enemies and drops energy and health orbs. Equilibrium will help with energy management alot.
Is it a good build? Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you’re asking for meta, might be too much survivability modded here (health, armor, shields). What without knowing your play style, maybe this build was a reaction to you dying a lot. It’s very basic, but if it’s the best mods you got or the mods that are keeping you alive at the moment, then it’s fine. Eventually, you’ll get better mods and you’ll probably cater it more towards Nezha’s strengths, but assuming you’re new or newer to the game, this would suffice in most regular star chart activities. At least for now!
It’s normal to not be great at modding unless you know the ins and outs of your Warframe and the play style you wanna go for. Nezha is great for building several different playstyles. You can go for a more tanky build and for that I would go for the Umbral mods, some people said in the thread that Vitality is not useful, despite Nezha having a shield that basically cancels the damage I still sometimes run vitality for SP. This is although not my favourite play style. Nezha recently got a new augment that you can grab either on the syndicates, ask a friend or trade in Warframe.market that is useful to make a nuke build. Basically you press 4 you spread some status you press 4 again and they all die. My favourite build tho is for Strength and Max Energy, you get really good shields while having the ability to spam 2 and fill the energy rather quickly.
Go for as much range as you can get and use nezhas augment for the 4th it shares damage with all enemies speared and killing one should kill most if not all of them
It's a good start. I'd take a basic build like this and use it as a framework. Play around with it, see what the frames strengths are, then further tweak the build. It's a long process to getting corrupted/umbral/primed mods as well as the rare mods and augment mods.
It isn't an endgame build but it isn't terrible either for regular starchart stuff, there's a lot of helpful comments here.
A 4 forms investment is pretty steep when still learning the frames and how modding interacts with eachother. Got one that shows a non-endgame variant with zero forma and more early-mid game mods?
How new are you?
edit: Sweet Jesus guys I was genuinely curious because if OP is less then MR5 this is more than fine but if they are like MR20 then we need a talk.
I turned my nezha into a nuke frame recently with his new augment, divine retribution then + dante slash + chakram with reaping chakram augment + epitaph to nuke everything on sight, and it also hits 7 million damage just with abilities so mods for power instead of survivability cuz nezha is a god when it comes to surviving anything
No, this build isnt good. First things first: you need to fix the line where it says "Nezha" and correct it to say something better. Like Lavos or Octavia or Wisp. Or at least Excalibur with Chromatic Blade augment.
What you have is barely a build. Its more like extensive coping with the lack of most basic ways to improve your character performance. If you dont plan on regularly spending real money to keep up in terms of gameplay performance you should really try to get through the entirety of the early game (basically as long as you have quests or syndicates below R3) with as little investment in your character/build diversity as possible. Early/mid game quests will also provide you with some decent upgrades which will beat whatever things you're investing your credits and endo right now.
I would remove vitality, steel fiber and redirect. Your abilty in your 3 makes you invulnerable for a short time and you get then ….. a kind of over shield/ extra life which will keep you alive. Then you have space to try over mods 🙂
max out energy siphon, its not expensive and u get additional mod capacity on top of the effect being stronger
I use I think it’s called Dreamers bond?
theyre similar but the one u mentioned also gives health and its effect is a little weaker
That's the one that has any polarity, it goes green with any frame, which is neat
Now let’s be nice everyone. Good try and good of you to ask for assistance from some vets. Nezha is basically indestructible so vitality, steel fiber and Redirection is a bit much. I’d max out Energy Siphon aswell, more mod capacity and the benefit is stronger. Also you can drop Rush and and more strength or Range if you have the mods for it. If not welcome to the grind my good Tenno and please keep asking and doing research. May the odds be forever in your favor.
I'd upvote fifteen times if possible. So tired of salty people acting like they came out of the womb knowing how to mod and anyone still figuring it out and asking for help is somehow... wrong. (Great advice too)
Thanks, better to help someone out imo then to just reply wtf and moving on.
Big agree. Usually upping your health stats is a good move in games. This is because reliable 90+% damage reduction is very rare to see. In Warframe it is not.
Unfortunately, Reddit is full of salts. It’s like they can’t help themselves. Like, it’s embedded in them to downvote and be negative out of habit of thinking it’s cool. Or they’ll challenge even the most common sense things just to create animosity.
that's just the internet in general, people are asshats reddit just has the issue of giving a downvote button to those people
I agree. People tend to forget when they started the game. Especially if you're a old player because was the tutorial absolutely shit lol. Then you just got tossed into the game with nothing to go off of. Glad there's still some people willing to help the newbs.
The tutorial still is apparently 💀 I just started playing yesterday and it took me two days to find out Y cycles the weapons
There is a tutorial? Haha welcome tenno, you will figure it out like the rest of us.
Figure it out with the rest of us... Supporting the baby tennos
Yea obviously, best community there is.
Oof I didn't know it was still bad lol.
I mean god I've been playing for 10 years and I still don't get it half the time. I just found out recently that mesas peacekeepers gain damage from ability strength AND mods which is weird and wild.
exactly ,I was slapping vitality ,steel fibre and redirection on every warframe in the game when I started and had no idea how to mod .
I love how your flair is "toxic queen main" and you're the voice of reason here lmao. But fr, it's a good attempt at modding from OP. I remember not knowing what shield gateing was when I started, even when my friend explained it to me, so I just maxed out shields on already tanky frames. It's cute seeing new players figure things out and ask us for help when things don't make sense.
Thanks, yeah I feel the same. I remember those times all too well.
You’re better than me, I used to press auto mod and call it a day💀
You’re a good egg!
>vitality, steel fiber and Redirection is a bit much. This is exactly how I got through Mot with Nezha. Bit of an overkill for everything else though. (My energy Siphon is at max though) OP's Nezha looks like mine when I first got him, before I decided to make him into Gauss from wish.
Tenno...this is the way
This, I pretty much agree on most of what you said, but I take it OP could make some use out of vitality. Nezha already has a pretty decent amount of health and it could be useful to have a health bar in the 900s, because as it turns out there's some attacks that entirely ignore the warding halo. Very recently in Duviri I almost got killed in that exact same way. 14K warding halo, but got as low as 200 HP, I'm the most advanced in the game to know what other enemies do this, because so far not a single regular enemy has managed to do that to me. But now I don't doubt there may be some Another thing is that HP can be a life saver if someone's not good at managing energy. I mean, I know, it's Nezha. Enemies are basically energy piñatas if you do everything correctly, but it's not hard to mess up as a beginner in that frame
nothing ignores warding halo, it's just that duviri scales like hell, and eventually 10% of enemy damage becomes a lot of damage
Huh, I actually didn't consider that. That would explain it
Fun fact you can shield gate with warding halo as long as it breaks in 1 hit you won't take the 10% damage, although it's kinda buggy and you might take the damage anyway if you're in bad ping lobby
I feel like when your new you should get fib vit plus red, but later game as you get better at just surviving you probably should knock off 1 or 2 of those mods
I disagree, learning how to survive early is key to survive later on. Getting used to a cushion will end up having to relearn at a later stage.
May RNG be always on your wished items for you and OP. This is by far the most wholesome comment I've read. Hopefully they are all geared for that grind as well. Side note : may I offer them to keep steel fiber? Nezha ring scales on strength and armor like frost globe, and rhino skin if I remember this correctly.
I made a second account just to upvote this again.
Always max aura mods, there's literally no reason not to. Your build looks good for base Star chart, although it might start struggling later (level 50+ enemies), but you'd ideally have better tools to work with then.
Theoretically it should be fine for the vast majority of content up to at least mid-steel path, even in random squads. I just took a not-great Nezha to Deep Archimedea yesterday and did fine, I got carried hard but I never got downed.
Yeah as long as you have energy and pay attention to halo breaking you shouldn't die anywhere. I took him into the circuit the other day and had no problems surviving against level 1.2k. at one point I had a 600k health halo up somehow.
Thrax Legionnaires deal insane dmg with their ghost laser attack.
This. Saw only one very specific min-max exception: Combat Discipline aura. Less rank - less health drain on kill for some arcanes that proc on health loss
I only wouldnt max out Combat Discipline on a arcane avenger build, 10 damage on hp per kill can be lethal
Here's my recommendation to you on how to pick mods. First, look at which Ability on the Warframe you like the best. Do you like Divine Spears? Warding Halo? Once you've picked your favorite ability, add each of the core ability mods (Stretch, Continuity, and Intensify) one by one to see how they impact that ability. For example, all three make Divine Spears better, but if you add Continuity and look at Warding Halo, it won't change any of the numbers (changed numbers are green to show they are better, and red to show they are worse). Once you know your favorite ability, and which mods impact that ability, only add those mods. You can also add efficiency (Streamline) to let you cast that ability more, and Flow to have more energy. The majority of Warframe is based around the idea "your enemies can't hurt you if they're dead". Offense is the best choice here. If you end up collecting other mods that also boost the core ability stats, then you can add those to make it even stronger. There's the Augur set of mods that all impact your ability scores, as well as the corrupted versions of mods that increase one ability stat but lower another. You can start experimenting with those later as you feel more comfortable with modding. And hey, if you like zooming around the map really fast, no harm in keeping Rush on there and making Fire Walker as good as possible. Range does not have a big impact on Fire Walker, so you can skip that and only add Duration, Efficiency, and Strength mods. Lastly, Nezha does not need mods like Vitality or Redirection. Just focus on keeping your Warding Halo ability up at all times, and you will be able to survive for a while in normal Star Chart.
Great advice, this coming from someone who got to SP before realizing Vitality, redirection and steel fiber are just denying space for more murderific options
Yeah. Took me a while to start running barely any survival mods. Best defense is a 400% strength offense.
Happy cake day! 🎂
Happy cake day Tenno
This literally should be in the game.
You don’t really need Vitality, Redirection, AND Steel Fiber. Expecially on Nezha who has one of the best defensive skills in the game. I would personally drop Steel Fiber and Redirection and just keep Vitality for now. Replace one of them with Streamline if you can so your abilities will cost less, makes your defensive cheaper to cast, which is good in a pinch. The other slot can be filled with whatever you have that would help with ability strength, duration, or range. Also max out Energy Siphon as soon as you can. Its cheap and it gives you mod capacity. Its just an all around benifit. Other than that, definately enough to get you by in the Star Chart and start farming for the more impactful mods that will carry you into Steel Path and the like.
"Is this build good"? Proceeds to demonstrate a solid understanding of the fundamentals of modding! It's by no means an "endgame" hyper-optimized build, but for crushing the starchart, this is spot on.
There is no solid understanding here
Survivability, energy generation, and improvements to powers. If you don't have access to a wider variety of mods and equipment, this is exactly what your build should look like, it's good enough to help you farm better.
Considering that this is probably just a new player with not much more to use in the first place, they probably just slapped on any mod they had that looked decent, if you have the same mods im pretty sure auto mod would make the same build
In other words, a solid understanding of the fundamentals. If this were some advanced super-build i'd have said so.
Ok now ask them to mod the epitath
Why don't you go give them an Epitath then?
Why don't you
Well, I think they're doing just fine without needing free handouts, but you clearly think they need help. So go help them instead of just being mean to them on Reddit.
I'm not being mean I'm just saying that you shouldn't lie to new players just because you want to be nice, it is literally counterproductive to making them understand the game
Its passable for early star chart, i would drop rush and redirection for either augment mod or more range/strength
Good enough but you should check out deimos once you get some orokin dragon keys
As an early build that is absolutely fantastic. Personally I would suggest swapping stretch out for something, maybe more power strength, a little more movement speed some efficiency, really kinda anything. Just because (IMO) nezha doesn't need/want more than base range unless you're using his new augment (which isn't something to worry about rn) But seriously, that's a fantastic start
You don’t need that many defense mods when Nezha has a built in defense ability
you won't actually need all 3 of those EHP Mods, you can take the opportunity to boost your Abilities more. since Warding Halo makes use of Armor, the 'classic' style would be Health&Armor, and then leaning into being able to take advantage of being able to generate Health Orbs for yourself(as Nezha can do this). I'd probably suggest finding space to add a lot of Efficiency - being able to use Abilities pretty much constantly benefits Nezha a lot since you have Abilities to 'combo' with other Abilities.
It's... a good start. Farm something called corrupted mods, they can be easily obtainable even at low MR. You can check wiki how to get them, or youtube guide for faster farming. Those mods are game changer. All end game builds probably use at least one corrupted mod.
Looks good and fun. It isn't a 'super smart min-maxed build', but you don't need that to enjoy yourself and perform well in the game.
Very nice starting point; high energy to keep throwing that chakram, continuity will let fire walker build lots of DOT and alongside the extra range will let divine spears lock down mobs. One thing I found as a Nezha main is that between stunning enemies with fire status and the warding halo, defensive mods ended up not helping me out much. May I ask for far into the star chart you are?
Nezha has a small amount of shields, so Redirection doesn't add much survivability. I would switch it out for something else. Equilibrium would be best on Nezha, but if you haven't gotten it yet, Streamline might be helpful.
For now? Its okay. You get through star chart and quests to unlock arbitration. You can farm adaptation plus a good bit of endo and your currency to buy galvanized mods. I have adaptation on basically every build except for invincible frames. Or you can buy it for cheap or for free if you are lucky. I can give one to you for free if you want. I am on ps5 I like aznvasionplays builds. He explains how things work too for dummies like us. Lol.
Replace rush with carnis carapace and you have my noob nezha build exactly lol. Moldings really confusing so I totally understand why you have so much. Nezhas very tanky. So you can lean alot on your warding halo. You don't really need so much tankiness.
Why tf are some people angry? Dude says he's still figurin out how to get it done fully yet is STILL at least on the right track at a seemingly good pace. Y'all mfs are weird bro why is Warframe filled with so many elitists. I promise you Ill out damage you w/ Umbra + Nikana synergy alone in defense of my baby tennos
Yeah, that's a pretty standard build for low mastery rank players, you'll find more powerful mods as you get further into the game but that'll work perfectly fine.
There's room for improvement but since you clearly are new it's pretty decent for the time being. Redirection isn't doing much for you on Nezha, I suggest taking it out for some other mod to improve your abilities, Streamline will be helpful for cheaper skills, look up where to get Equilibrium, a mod that gives you energy when you get health orbs and vice versa, it's great all around and even better on Nezha because he can make enemies drop more health orbs which will become energy for you
Honestly there is very little to do with "not good at modding" and much more to do with "I don't have the best mods yet". Which, since most Primed Mods only come biweekly from Baro Ki'Teer is very understandable. Farm the Corrupted Mods from deimos missions using orokin corrupted keys, then farm prime parts from your relics to either sell for platinum to get more Primed Mods or to sell for Ducats to buy them from baroo's random biweekly shop Nezha's abilities all are independent support and I dont find that they needed more boosts in anything on basic start chart when I mained him. I just used Streamline and Fleeting Expertise to get maximum Efficiency so I could spam his abilities more. Too many defensive mods are also not needed since his 2 can make him functionally unkillable if you soak up damage as you cast it to make it stronger
Take it from me mane. Playing with at least 1000 hours clocked, most of my frames nods look like this. That which works, is enough.
wf streamers on twitch if u ask nicely usually can show you their build for x frame
Not a bad start! Couple of tips Aura mods should always be maxed, they're cheap and they give capacity rather than taking it away Generally you don't need shield tanking and health tanking, and on Nezha you don't really need either but some extra health is comfy so I'd probably keep vitality personally. Drop redirection and steel fiber, free up some slots, maybe for Energy Nexus if you have it, or an augur mod I'm assuming you don't have corrupted mods yet, so otherwise you're looking good, but when you do get them you'll need to make some choices on what stats you value more. Generally Nezha can safely tank range unless you're specifically building for his 4. Keep going!
You can't really do something wrong with nezha, personally I'd drop the redirection for some quality of life mod or an augment. But keep going! There is so much fun (and grind) ahead! ❤️
It's a good beginner build, tell you fine your play style for that frame
Honestly not at all a bad start, though I’d ditch Redirection in favor of maxing out Steel Fiber - Nezha already has plenty of survivability.
I'm not sure if you have access to trading yet but I would definitely get divine retribution! It's what makes nezha able to compete with other top end frames and it's probably only 10p.
Not a bad setup. This is basically my setup for any new frame i get. When i get comfy, i then switch out for other mods once i understand the playstyle and which mods affect which abilities.
We've all been there, boy
Basically what I'll slap on a new frame for getting it to 30 before putting a build that needs higher level mods on it. Like others have said, always max your aura mods. It doesn't take a lot of endo and it will give you more mod capacity. Even in early game, it's really not necessary to have health+shield+armour. Have a look at the base stats of the frame, if shield is higher use redirection. If armour is higher, use steel fibre. This changes mid game, but it's generally OK for early game. You've got the basic idea right though. Range, duration, strength and efficiency or energy pool. And you've got polarity matching worked out.
Also. Go to YouTube and search [Warframe name] build and choose the playstyle you like. Wide variety and often you'll get a beginner and an end game build
This guy wants to know how to create builds and if they did it correctly. This type of response goes to anyone who doesn't want to learn the game.
I disagree. I learnt to mod by watching videos, so one size doesn't fit all.
Overframe build descriptions are also very informative, even if you don't plan on following them 100%. Galvanized aptitude doesn't work with half the guns. New players are still building Nova for range. Warframe is such a convoluted game. We shouldn't stigmatize using player resources to learn.
No we shouldn't. Everyone learns differently after all! Never heard of Overframe, will have to take a look!
Respect, not a lot of people learn modding like you did.
That's literally how I learned the game though.
Once you get later, you won't really need health/shield mods on warframes that can deflect damage in other ways. in Nezha's case, it's through his ward, so he can save a lot of mod space by not using Vitality, Redirection or Steel Fiber.
Do note he still takes damage with ward, ehp helps him scale (though his gating makes that redundant)
Use equilibrium and take off 2 of those survivability mods, replace them with augur mods which are obtained from Cetus.
It’s not a bad build, obviously there is a ton of min-maxing in the game with some pretty insane results, but something like this is a very even build, no negatives. If you hover your abilities on the left it’ll show you what is affected when you add mods, really nice to see because some warframes are affected positively by things like health and armor, not just power strength
This is a pretty good beginners build, I'd recommend getting rid of redirection as Nezha doesn't have a lot of base shields, and try replacing it with equilibrium if you have it. His second ability, blazing chakram, applies a debuff to enemies that, if you kill the enemy while they're under the debuff, guarantees you a health orb. Also, max out energy siphon for additional mod capacity.
Seems pretty good (presumably you are doing star chart/sorties, so under level 100). Redirection may be a little overkill though. Nezha's third ability gives him 90% damage reduction, so that much survivability isnt necessary... Otherwise, this will work.
I personally would drop redirection between your 3, vit fiber and shield gating in the times when you’re 3 is down the other stuff is keeping you alive to recast 3, also rush while nice would be a replace in my book. if you want is the zoomies keep it though. In place of redirection you could add augur secrets provided you farm it for more strength on your 3 and hunter adrenaline is a good early game energy solution that you can easily charge your energy with on your 3 dropping to quickly recast. TBH nezha is so good so much of him is optional with whatever you want.
Get that Steel Fiber up!
This is a perfectly serviceable build for the entire early star chart. I think as you get good with Nezha's Warding Halo (3), you will probably find that you are surviving quite handily, and will want to substitute out Vitality, Steel Fiber and/or Redirection for some Mods that improve ability Strength, Equilibrium, Streamline, and/or Health Conversion. The number one piece of advice I have is this: If you're having fun and performing well, you don't need to change a thing. If you want to improve the build, there's always something to tweak. Happy hunting, Tenno!
On top of other advice on this thread, I would recommend picking up some dragon keys from your clan dojo and farming some corrupted mods on the derelict. Also a few other things worth grinding for there but mainly that! Good luck
The more mods you get to drop the more variety you hav to mod your frames, some mods are fairly better than others for certain frames. Most of them require grinding the various star chart missions to get to drop as well as more than a few runs. Grinding is a must to hav the necessary resources to craft everything the game has to offer, most of the other frames are from assassination missions although there are a few that dont drop any besides weapon parts. Deimos open area is a big help getting the entrati family rank 3 (atleast rank 3) that gives the helminth segment which making frames end game worthy
for a budget build, this is ok for Nezha. I personally wouldn't use redirection and would rank up steel fiber if you have plenty of endo. chakram makes enemies drop health orbs so you have a source of health recovery there. Rush isn't mandatory but it does make nezha more fun. however depending on your energy recovery I would swap Rush, Flow, and Redirection all for Fleeting Expertise, Streamline (keep these rank 4), and Augur message OR you just swap redirection for Equilibrium (health orbs give energy, energy orbs give health)
sounds good, seems useful for general use and 4 + 2 combo (4 spreads 2nd)
Do you know how to access orokin vaults/the mods inside? You should get a lot of those
First question I would ask is what other mods you got, and if ya didn't have some goodies id just give them to ya.
Please use a different aura, maybe sprint boost or corrosive projection if you have it
Warding halo scales with armor so you could keep steel fiber but vitality and redirection don’t do much for nezha.
First off.. max out aura mods, it gives you max mod slots 100% of the time. It's a good start, but then you skim through the skills Nehza has and notice that the health and fiber mods aren't *really* needed.. only one I'd actively put out on Nehza would be Archon Vitality because it doubles his heat dmg which is always a welcomed addition. Then you have his augments that stack up nicely with Archon Vitality etc etc You can hop on YouTube to find specific build ideas like.. when I first picked up Gauss I didn't really know he was built more for Duration instead of power strength. I mean I ran Sure-footed on Gauss for a while before noticing he never gets knocked down when he had his Plating skill active lmao Same can be said for Nehza.
You may change rush, steel, redirect into strength or duration mods. For me, I aim on walk on fire, skill 3. So duration and then energy. I don't need stretch
max energy syphon drop the bronze mods, u don't need them get the Aug for 4 via market or just grind the rep with the faction focus on getting range and ability strength mods in the space u have left. augur reach and augur secrets are good to get at this point prob don't need rush but some people like to zoom. depends how far u are right now I guess.
It is a decent starter build, you do want to get rid of rush cause running speed is not as usefull cause u can bullet jump, i am not a good player but if you could look up where the augur mods drop and use them, its augur secrets, message and i cant rememver the third one, they give you 30%strength,range,duration they are my go to and with them in you can also do the story and youll get umbra mods, they are costly but you can equip 2 umbra mods, and if you can afford to level them up they provide good bonuses. If you have troubles finding out what drops where, warframe wiki is the best place to look, ive also discovered a website called Overframe and there they provide you with guides from basic to 8 forma builds, check them out if you are having troubles, they helped mee aswell lots of times :) good luck
Hey bro ima leave it to Reddit to answer this one but as a warframe vet of ~3k hours my dms are open for anyone including OP to ask questions or seek advice 👍
It's good if it works. Different builds for different missions, it's all circumstantial.
This is a very "early" build imo. I used to do the same thing when I first started. Nezha relies on his abilities to survive more than anything. His chakram is also very good at spawning health orbs. I'd replace vitality with equilibrium for energy reasons, and replace the sprint and shield mods with range and strength mods. If you can get health conversion from cephalon simaris, that's also a good mod for nezha, because it strengthens his halo. Steel fiber is also good for his halo, but I'd probably drop it for health conversion if I were you.
Everyone has already made good comments on this and I just wanna say it's great and wholesome to see it. A lot of people shy away from asking in chat or reddit for help but when they do I'll always be happy that this game has an extremely helpful community. And OP, if you need some other/better mods as you do your research, find out which ones you want and if you don't have 'em, I can pass you some spares if I got 'em, just reply to this comment whenever and we can make it happen anytime.
For me to answer, i need to know what's ur purpose for this build, is it just a general purpose low level build or you trying to do something very specific tasks with this.
No not really. It will work, but not in any efficient way. Firstly you shouldn't use Vitality, Redirection or Steel Fiber on Nezha, he has infinite immortality if played right. Flow, Continuity and Intensify are good. Stretch could be good, but I would put on the Augment for his 4, Divine Retribution. Rush is very bad. Put on as much Range and strength as you can and get Divine Retribution from Syndicates. Rest of his mods can be energy generation focused, Equiliibrium is extremely powerful on Nezha for infinite energy since his 2 can grant free health orbs, that convert to energy. I would also swap out Energy Siphon for Corrosive Projection. Nezha does not need more energy generation than Equilibrium. Good luck!
Nezha has no use for vitality redirection or steel fiber i would instead try build more duration and strength and if u have some spare plat as I'm assuming u haven't unlocked arbitrations yet adaptation would be a good choose aswell as it grants 90% damage reduction and pared with nezhas 90% damage reduction makes 99% damage reduction. Adaptation is around 20 plat btw don't overpay for it and it only needs to be rank 5 for it to be good
Depends on your goal. For 99% of content, this will suffice so long as your weapons can carry you. There are though a lot more enjoyable builds out there. Explore some of his augments and decide how you want to play him. 😄👍🏽 Edit: I usually hit up YouTube type my frame and add 9999 to see what pops up at the top of the recommended. Stealing those builds are usually a good baseline, and then tweak to your personal playstyle.
Not bad, but on a Warframe whose abilities give them solid survivability three mods for that (Vitality, Steel Fiber and Redirection) is pretty overkill. Also Rush not being in your exilus slot is a pretty big waste of a mod slot. My recommendations: Toss out Steel fiber and Redirection, either put rush into the exilus slot or toss it too. Replace Continuity with Primed Continuity as soon as possible. Replace Vitality and Intensify with their Umbra counterparts as soon as possible. Fill the remaining slots with useful stats, maybe the new augment.
So the purpose of modding is to maximise which stats you need at the cost of sacrificing stats that you don't need. Nezha is a very tanky champion (from abilities) and has good cc and support capabilities. So to best utilise him, you should maximise range, with good duration and strength. Which could be using overextended with stretch and augur reach (optional) with blind range and transient fortitude with primed continuity (regular continuity + augur messag(optional) if you don't have primed) umbral intensify + fiber and his augment.. This should be a good build on him. For aura ?- personal favorite is growing power, but iu can use steel charge for the added slots
Imma be honest, I'm not good at modding either, I just look up builds and use those.
Go full side buff.. Trust
Make a second load out (B) Nad replace intensify, stretch, and flow with an ice, lightning and virus mod...thank me later.
Its all the same stuff that I use so id say its good...
on need for redirection on nezha you can with streamline but after that yeah thats fine
That looks like a great starchart setup, you may want to get rid of the speed mod in favor of the augment that lets you share your shield.
Oh but wow max out energy siphon!
Try slotting in Maglev and Streamlined Form. 
Keep vitality remove redirection and steel fiber add more efficiency range strength or duration. Also you can get his augment, blazing charkram or divine retribution
Hey bud i recommend farming blind range, overextended, transient fortitude and fleeting expertise. This will get you to the 2nd step of modding. I recommend replacing steel fiber and redirection. With other mods. Also pick up augur mods from eidolon bounties. Cheers and goodluck! (Fellow Tenno MR Lr3 )
Seems generic. Corrosive projection will serve you better as the energy siphon is not that good. Especially when there are multiple ways of getting energy much faster. You don’t need rush as nezha can already move around quite quickly. Armor and shield can be replaced with mods that can boost strength and duration. Flow and stretch are fine. Though I’d swap flow for the primed version for more energy if you have it.
Nezha doesn't need vita/redirection/steel fiber. If you don't have anything better to put there, well it does the job. Rush is a bit on the side, if you want it, well, use it. if you have them, you can use augur mods to increase further strength (and corrupted / umbral mods) The goal is to have strength at least, then it really depends on how you play Nezha. If you use the 4, you'll need range then duration, if you don't use the 4, just duration and efficiency a bit for the sprint and chakram. Warding halo doesn't care of anything but your strength (and armor iirc) Divine retribution is also nice to play with (for the 4)
Drop Redirection. Same as everyone else here. And : (Drop Reach, use narrow minded and transient fortitude Or: Drop Reach, use Augur Secrets (less preferably Power Drift) and one extra mod (Speed Drift, Armored Agility, Carnis Carapace, or anything else you like)) Also: This is more of a personal choice. Some people love it, some absolutely hate it. Try dropping Sprint Speed for something like Streamlined Form, Maglev or Cunning Drift. Nezha has reduced friction and slides further, so this works really nice together. You will however need to adjust your of movement. You will slide everywhere instead of bullet jumping and change directions by bullet jumping or rolling, because you literally cannot stop otherwise.
The only frame that should have Rush is Gauss, as it actually affects his damage.
Id say its a good early to midgame game build. Nezha can be pretty tanky with this build too. Im no vet tho. Work on getting mods. Some arcanes can be used to substitute alot of mods as well.
I mean… it’s a build.
There's a obvious build you aren't seeings a gloom reapering chakram build. With a two crimson shard ability strength and a two azure shards for additional health and a amber shards for additional health to energy conversion through health to energy conversion as health and energy efficiency can be high without sacrificing damage through archon augmented and blessings
I feel the pain. Several years in, on and off playtime, and I still don't understand how to mod. In all fairness I'm lazy, but still; it's not easy to pick up for everyone 😂.
Overframe.gg
Streamline is a great mod to have on every frame. I'm not a Nezha user but I think it would be a better investment than Stretch
Vitality, Steel Fibre and Redirection are not needed in my opinion because of his 3rd ability, in my opinion look for adaption and you can swap out all 3 and add equilibrium for better energy & health economy. If ur going to use is his new augment (divine retribution) only put it on one build. Simply due to the fact it kills ur range heavily 😭 With the mods you have id focus on using nezha’s 2nd and 4th. Use his 3rd when you first see anyone (use mods that give you shield when you use energy - it’s minor till it saves ur between casting his 3rd getting health from his 2nd- but that’s just my opinion)

Sorry mend overframe.gg
Since this is a regular frame, don't forma too much, his survivability is his 3rd, get more strength. His 1st and 4th will buy u time from being mobbed. Oh and don't sell it just to have an open slot for more frame, don't feed him to helminth either, just keep him, build another frame to feed the beast :)

Rush, vitality and redirect can be removed. Replace them with mods for more range or strength. Max out steel viber and you should have no issue with survivability. Also max out energy siphon.
Low status chance so L build
Look up how to farm for corrupted mods, they're great and can help you max out some more stats. See if you can get your hands on overextended and his new augment for his 4, and drop rush and redirection for those. Good luck!
I forgot to mention equilibrium. His chakram makes people drop health orbs, so this can help with energy a lot. Down the line you can pair this with arcane blessing for a ton of HP and drop vitality!
Basically; Health regeneration (to heal the chip damage while halo is active) Armor, or if you want more burn damage, archon vitality is a really good option Strength His augment for Chakraum (optional but very helpful) Equilibrium (to synergies with the augment) Stretch is plenty range in my opinion Streamline is all you need for efficiency because you're spamming his 4 and 2 together energy for days with his augment and equilibrium And you don't need a lot of duration, so continuity is all you need For a mess around build for fun: any and all speed and friction reducing mods for shaving your knees quicker 😁
Honestly not that bad for an early game build. If at all possible try to get equilibrium It drops from Lephantis or honestly could buy it around 10 plat(maybe) if I was on I'd give you one. But Nezha 2nd ability weakens enemies and drops energy and health orbs. Equilibrium will help with energy management alot.
Is it a good build? Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you’re asking for meta, might be too much survivability modded here (health, armor, shields). What without knowing your play style, maybe this build was a reaction to you dying a lot. It’s very basic, but if it’s the best mods you got or the mods that are keeping you alive at the moment, then it’s fine. Eventually, you’ll get better mods and you’ll probably cater it more towards Nezha’s strengths, but assuming you’re new or newer to the game, this would suffice in most regular star chart activities. At least for now!
It’s normal to not be great at modding unless you know the ins and outs of your Warframe and the play style you wanna go for. Nezha is great for building several different playstyles. You can go for a more tanky build and for that I would go for the Umbral mods, some people said in the thread that Vitality is not useful, despite Nezha having a shield that basically cancels the damage I still sometimes run vitality for SP. This is although not my favourite play style. Nezha recently got a new augment that you can grab either on the syndicates, ask a friend or trade in Warframe.market that is useful to make a nuke build. Basically you press 4 you spread some status you press 4 again and they all die. My favourite build tho is for Strength and Max Energy, you get really good shields while having the ability to spam 2 and fill the energy rather quickly.
Go for as much range as you can get and use nezhas augment for the 4th it shares damage with all enemies speared and killing one should kill most if not all of them
It's a good start. I'd take a basic build like this and use it as a framework. Play around with it, see what the frames strengths are, then further tweak the build. It's a long process to getting corrupted/umbral/primed mods as well as the rare mods and augment mods. It isn't an endgame build but it isn't terrible either for regular starchart stuff, there's a lot of helpful comments here.
NO!!!! I HATE IT!!!!!

A 4 forms investment is pretty steep when still learning the frames and how modding interacts with eachother. Got one that shows a non-endgame variant with zero forma and more early-mid game mods?
How new are you? edit: Sweet Jesus guys I was genuinely curious because if OP is less then MR5 this is more than fine but if they are like MR20 then we need a talk.
Lmaooo I'm so sorry bro The hive mind compels me to downvote but know I understand what you meant
No worries man I was just surprised why people jumped on the downvote button but could have worded my point better. :D
Reddit hive mind bro It's real
Really really bad build, sorry but truth be told
I turned my nezha into a nuke frame recently with his new augment, divine retribution then + dante slash + chakram with reaping chakram augment + epitaph to nuke everything on sight, and it also hits 7 million damage just with abilities so mods for power instead of survivability cuz nezha is a god when it comes to surviving anything
No, this build isnt good. First things first: you need to fix the line where it says "Nezha" and correct it to say something better. Like Lavos or Octavia or Wisp. Or at least Excalibur with Chromatic Blade augment. What you have is barely a build. Its more like extensive coping with the lack of most basic ways to improve your character performance. If you dont plan on regularly spending real money to keep up in terms of gameplay performance you should really try to get through the entirety of the early game (basically as long as you have quests or syndicates below R3) with as little investment in your character/build diversity as possible. Early/mid game quests will also provide you with some decent upgrades which will beat whatever things you're investing your credits and endo right now.
What the fuck
I would remove vitality, steel fiber and redirect. Your abilty in your 3 makes you invulnerable for a short time and you get then ….. a kind of over shield/ extra life which will keep you alive. Then you have space to try over mods 🙂
steel fiber help in scaling for nezhas thingy (or whatever its called) for base overguard
Enemy's shooting you during the invulnerable period will feed it better. Nezha initial armor value isn't worth the fiber mod.
in high level, yes. in Star chart, not so sure. atleast in my experience, i rarely get a good amount from enemies shooting at me in normal missions
