Warframe’s update 35 introduced a host of new content, tome mods, and weapons for players to unlock, including the new Grimoire Warframe. One new toy added to the Whispers of the Wall roaster is Qorvex, a radioactive rock golem Warframe. Qorvex deals extensive Radiation damage to foes before they detonate with a powerful energy blast.
While this overpowered Warframe can oppress opponents on the battlefield, it’s only as good as its build. The best Qorvex build improves performance across various stats, including Ability, Strength, and Range. To push the limits of Qorvex, here are several excellent builds that ensure match victory.
All Warframe Landing Craft Air Support, Ranked
Need to call in additional support to complete a mission? Here’s a list of all Warframe air support for landing crafts.
Best Warfarmae Qorvex Build
Players can equip Qorvex with various tome mods, arcanes, and archon shards to suit their playstyles. There are two main types of builds players can go for - Adaption and Shield-gating. Both builds can be used as scaling casters for endurance runs, Steel Path missions, or general gameplay. However, the Shield-gating build is the best choice for Warframe since it's more durable and lasts longer.
Best Mod Interactions
For the Shield-gating build, here are the best mods to use:
| Mods | Effect |
|---|---|
| Power Drift | Increased Ability Strength and Knockdown protections |
| Brief Respite | One-shot enemies, especially on Steel Path missions. (Replace it with another mode for Adaption) |
| Catalyzing Shields | Takes advantage of shield damage cancelation upon depletion |
| Fleeting Expertise | Improves Efficiency and Crowd Control |
| Augur Reach | Increased Ability Range |
| Primed Continuity | Counteracts Transient Fortitude and Fleeting Expertise |
Best Arcanes for the Build
| Arcane | Effect |
|---|---|
| Arcane Guardian | Armor when hit |
| Arcane Grace | Regeneration when hit |
| Molt Efficiency | Increased Ability Duration |
| Molt Augmented | Increased Ability Strength |
Best Archon Shards for the Build
| Archon Shard | Effect |
|---|---|
| Azure Archon Shard | Improved Armor Strength |
| Amber Archon Shard | Improved Casting Speed |
| Crimson Archon Shard | Increased Ability Strength |
This Qorvex Warframe build focuses on improving the weapon’s Ability Strength and Range, ensuring players deal more damage at long ranges. Ability Strength makes Qorvex’s Crucible Blast much stronger, and its Chyrinka Pillar performs consistently.
To use Qorvex, simply press the trigger button to cast Chyrinka Pillar, which is the first ability. This will cast Radiation on enemies and irradiate foes with containment walls and pillars. To detonate enemies with a powerful energy blast, use Crucible Blast, the 4th Ability.
