Warframe: Best Coda Sporothrix build

With the right build, Coda Sporothrix can now easily claim the spot of the best sniper rifle in Warframe. The original was already an underappreciated gem, and now the Coda variant has taken the weapon to the level of recognition it deserves. A sniper rifle only in name, the Coda Sporothrix absolutely thrives against crowds. Shots embed into enemies, causing a Viral-Slash radial explosion in a respectable radius.

In this Coda Sporothrix build guide, we will tap into its insane potential to become one of Warframe's most fun AoE weapons. The build will also work on regular Sporothrix, but we advise you to go and get the Coda variant (which is actually much easier to farm).

Sporothrix has one of Warframe's best augment mods

Generally, delayed damage proc traits feel clunky to use in Warframe. Thankfully, Sporothrix has a unique augment mod called Volatile Variant that makes it instant, adds a massive amount of punch-through, and also triples the radial range on direct hits. Which, due to the punch-through, is much easier to land thanks to the mod itself.

This singular mod is the difference between night and day. It works with Coda Sporothrix too, so as you would expect, this is going to be a centerpiece in our build. With this mod alone, Sporothrix easily becomes an instant S-tier Coda weapon.

As expected, Volatile Variant is going for over 150 Plats on the open trade market right now. It should eventually appear in the Nightwave Cred shop, though, so grab it from there if you don't have the budget.

Mods used

• Semi-Rifle Cannonade (add a forma and run Spectral Serration if you are running an invisibility frame)
• Galvanized Chamber
• Thermite Rounds (or Widlfire)
• Rime Rounds (add a forma and run Primed Cryo Rounds for even higher total damage)
• Rifle Elementalist
• Vital Sense (replace with Vigilante Armaments if not using Arcane Avenger)
• Volatile Variant
• Primed Bane mod for the double-dip on status procs, or Hammer Shot

Arcane

Primary Crux is a match made in heaven for the weapon. Due to the front-loaded high base damage, we don't really need Merciless for the Coda Sporothrix, while the Status Chance and Ammo Efficiency both synergize perfectly with its build goals.

Progenitor

Since we use a Blast combo on the mod setup, you can roll with any progenitor you get. Simply getting the Cold or Heat base progenitor will pump up the Blast weightage, but you can also go with Electricity if you have a group-up tool.

If you want to go for something really nutty, pair this up with Gyre's new Augment mod, Conductive Sphere (although most level-cap grunts would be dead before you can see the Electricity procs in action).

Build breakdown and additional setup

Coda Sporothrix is so self-sufficient that you could take off the base damage mod altogether and coast through base-level Steel Path like it's nothing. This build is an amazing one to play with, as the Blast procs will reach multiple enemies per shot thanks to the huge amount of punch-through we are pumping into it.

For the Vital Sense to work, though, you'll need to run Arcane Avenger on your Warframe (alongside Combat Discipline if you're running something elusive). If not, you can replace Vital Sense with another elemental mod or a fire rate mod.

This build also benefits greatly from Roar if you don't want to bother with juggling Bane mods. Other alternative Helminth options include Xata's Whisper for some funky interaction, and Spectral Serration with Evade.
