So I always check the frame’s themes before writing this bit and apparently one of hers is arachnid… Not what I would’ve given her, but it’s what we will go with. The chain spider mistress herself - Khora!
Release date: 2018-04-20
Passive: While Venari is alive, Khora passively gains a 15% movement speed boost. If Venari is killed, she will respawn beside Khora after 45 seconds, or instantly if summoned via the third ability for an energy cost.
Whipclaw - Send enemies reeling with a deafening whipcrack.
Ensnare - Bind a hapless target in living metal, entangling others who stray too close. Whipclaw will refresh the trap allowing it to capture more enemies.
Venari - Command Venari to focus on a target. Hold to cycle between Attack, Protect, and Heal postures. If Venari is killed, use this ability to revive her instantly.
Strangledome - Weave a dome of living chain that ensnares and strangles any enemy within, and any foolish enough to approach. Foes outside the trap will try to hasten their comrade’s deaths by shooting them. Crack Whipclaw on the dome to further damage any trapped enemies.
Acquisition: Main and component blueprints are acquired from standard Sanctuary Onslaught.
Khora might be the “best” loot frame but I feel like relegating her to just that is doing her a disservice. With a good statstick she absolutely tears through most content. She does suffer from the Atlas issue of being an incredibly spammy frame, bind her 1 to your mouse wheel to alleviate some palm pain (DE please give us hold-to-chain-cast on all melee-like abilities please).
Totally forgot about Khora outside a loot frame, gonna see if I can make a crazy cat lady build using venari, a kavat with duplex bond and the sand kavats from inaros’s subsume. Should total 8 kavats I think.
I really want to like Khora, but her prime is just so noisy looking and I’ve yet to put together a stat-stick for her. Maybe one day I’ll get her a nice setup, but in the meantime i’ve got Nekros for farming stuff.
She’s absolutely worth having around, not just for resource farming but as a general fantastic frame. Her Ensnare works on a lot of things you wouldn’t think it would, namely Acolytes and Demolishers. She makes quick work of any Disruption mission with that and her incredible damage potential. Incarnon Melee weapons only made her better, because for some unknown reason their passive buffs work on pseudo-Exalted abilities, give her an Incarnon Ceramic Dagger and she absolutely shreds anything!
