When it comes to signature weapons in Warframe, there have been a few interesting approaches over this year. For Temple, we got Riot-848 without a unique synergy. Then, we got Oraxia with Spinnerex that had a distinct synergy between the two, similar to Nokko and the Arbucep. Vinquibus, being the signature weapon for Uriel, is interesting because there isn’t a unique synergy between the two, so much as it has its own synergy for its dual weapon functionality. Before talking about that, below will be our recommended build for it first!
Recommended Build for Vinquibus
Below is our recommended build that you will need 3 forma for. Please make sure you are selecting the right polarities, as they are shared between the Rifle and Melee versions:
For the Rifle version of Vinquibus, I went for a pure critical build that uses Primary Acuity and Semi-Rifle Cannonade alongside all the fixings. I also went purely for Puncture due to the low status chance the weapon has.
Now for the melee build:
Similar to the Rifle version, I went for a pure critical build that uses Dreamer’s Wrath, Melee Duplicate, and Galvanized Steel alongside normal damage boosting mods.
Vinquibus Review in Warframe
The Vinquibus, despite not having an Uriel-specific synergy, is one of the most interesting weapons we have ever gotten. As you can see above, the Vinquibus in Warframe is a weapon that has 2 versions by force when you equip it. It is both a rifle and a melee weapon. The rifle, when you get kills with it, gives bonus damage to melee attacks, while the melee version gives free ammo to use for the rifle when you get kills with a melee attack. It is an excellent synergy, and I am genuinely impressed by the fact that it is both strong and unique to use.
The Vinquibus has been a crutch for me in Steel Path recently, and I highly recommend farming it out alongside Uriel (or getting the bundle with platinum to get both and a lot more for a low cost).
