Savage Silence

Now it does

If they didn't see you before you approach them(shown as a not filled out red symbol on your minimap instead of a full red marker for an enemy that is alerted and saw you) you get the finisher damage bonus as long as you kill any enemies in line of sight during the stun. it is a bit awkward to use but once you get the hang of it you get the finisher damage easily. keep in mind if enemies see another die or hear them die they will become alerted which looses the stealth multiplier aswell. personally i would not mod above 160range since enemies will be stunned so far away you won't reach them in time

Finisher damage only affects finisher attacks. Just hitting the enemy normally with your melee weapon isn't a finisher attack. The stealth damage bonus and finisher damage bonus are two separate things.

Thank you, this is exactly what i came here to find out.

They only increase finisher-attacks dmg, not ANY finisher-type dmg!

Hydroid's kit does not include any finisher, so no "finisher" damage or surprise there. Tentacles deal true damage ticks to captured enemies which should not confuse you as it does not perform a finisher. Every finisher deals true damage but not every true damage is caused by a finisher (bleeds for example).

His trick to enable stealth multiplier against any enemy by being invisible with Undertow may have also been changed.

Hydroid's damage being changed from finisher damage to "true damage" is one of life's greatest disappointments.

100% + 300% = 400%

Excalibro's Radiant Finish works the same way and has 25m range instead of 20m FYI (just tested because it's page didn't say anything)

I did try Savage Silence with Balde Storm and Teleport + Fatal Teleport and it's awesome.

The advantage of Savage Silence over Radiant Finish is that the area of the ability moves with the player insad of being in the point of activation, also the duration is exactly the double, so moving the area of Silence is more efficencient both in energy and ease of use.

Except the stun that opens up finishers and that this augment works for only lasts 2 or 3 seconds. The actual silence skill lasts double yes, but the window for finishers is very short. The Radial Blind lasts and stuns for 15 seconds.

I make use of Helminthed Savage Silence on both Ash (with Fatal Teleport and Bladestorm you don't NEED the stun from the silence to set them up) and on Ivara (it's a short range high strength build.) I regularly see damage numbers in the millions with both of them, using Karyst Prime with Finishing Touch and Covert Lethality. I've had Ash break 200 million damage easily. It turns your Teleport button into a Steel Path Eximus Deleter, because the combo ignores Overguard.

This mod already sets up enemies for finishers, what do you need the Bronco mod for?

It onlu opens enemies to finishers while in their stun animation, which is like 1 second or so?... So its a combo that works wonders...

wrong

how do you do them? I think i am, as i've seen people say that you need to use another button, but i tried both the heavy attack key and the interact key and neither are working for me

Finishers are binded to context action just like how you do Mercy Kills with your Parazon.

It’s pretty ridiculous if you ask me, since it lowers the rate in which you can efficiently do finishers (and indirectly nerfed Banshee in having more i-frames because of the lowered rate to initiate finishers).

I want to know this out too. According to the comment below from feb12th, "enemies open to finisher damage take 4X more melee damage". This would imply that they should take more damage when affected by this ability but not take extra damage from a riven that increases finisher damage if you are not actually performing a finisher (ex: you are doing a slide attack). If you do perform a finisher then of course it works.

He also says "see radial blind" but the only thing i see there about that is " Blinded enemies are vulnerable to melee finishers (default E ) and susceptible to stealth damage multipliers." Someone on that page also says that "finishing touch increases the damage done to enemies affected by radial blind". The stealth damage multiplier is 8X.

Please test it and let me know your findings to anyone reading this. I would do it myself but i don't have access to the simulacrum which makes it a bit harder for me.

Finisher damage granted by the mod stacks additively with finisher damage rivens.

So: Base Finisher damage + Mods/Rivens + Savage Silence Bonus = Total Finisher damage

Enemies open to finisher damage also take 4x more melee damage, for reference see Radial Blind.

For spin 2 win this does not increase slide damage but it does help lead the lamb to the slaugher:

• Also causes Silence's stagger to set enemies up for standing finisher attacks. Silence without the augment will not set up enemies for finisher attacks.

While the augment provides no bonus damage to slide attacks, I still consider it a must have for solo focus farming.  The last two bullet points under the notes section explain why:

• Approaching stunned enemies upfront and killing them won't break the stealth affinity multiplier.
  • In similar fashion, bumping into stunned enemies won't break the multiplier either.

I've tried focus farming without the augment and could barely keep the stealth affinity multiplier going.  Inevitably, I would accidently bump an enemy while sliding before the spin attack killed them.

Low range high duration banshee, enough said

This augment makes me reach focus cap in under 5mins. How is that useless. Also naramon is good now. Before it was just stupid

@Netzwerkfehler can you post your banshee build for focus farming please?

Go look up H3dsh0t's Banshee Focus Farm on youtube.

No.  This cannot increase Slash proc damage since standing finishers cannot inflict Slash procs.  Blade Storm would be the exception, but its bleed effect is actually applied alongside its attacks, rather than from them; both Steel Charge and Savage Silence boost the damage of its attacks but not of the procs.  

more like Naramon, king of endgame. or noobgame.

i'm so looking forward to the tenno schools getting removed and seeing all those naramon noobs break down in tears because they're too dumb to play the game like it's meant to

Like it's meant to? You mean using the mechanics and abilities provided, such as Naramon??

They work the same way, but radial blind doesn't give the extra damage multiplied this mod does. It's mostly unnecessary, but eventually normal finishers will fall off while this mod allows you to continue doing insane amounts of damage.

Covert Lethality says hello.

All joking aside. the answer to "why not just use Excalibur Radial Blind?" is the same as the one to "Why any weapon other than dagger with Covert lethality?".

It's simple - we like playing more than one single character/weapon. Because diversity is fun. And games exist for fun.

Covert Lethality also exists. Just a reminder.

covert lethality is boring man
