Boo for everybody who already has it! At least, maybe, the Dera Vandal parts I have will be worth more...
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.you know the dera vandal to karak wraith wasn't the only change, the two kinds of greater lenses in the sortie rewards got replaced by both potato B Ps, i think that's good
piggy ganon, piggy ganon, does whatever a piggy cannot...I took it myself, before really understanding what the different focuses were or did.
It's alright. It has its uses, but is also kind of flawed. The active ability is theoretically great for holding off crowds in defense missions, but petrfied enemies block the beam so you can't ever really hit that many enemies in a crowd. Not to mention the need to maintain the beam on an enemy to fully petrify them.
That said, it's still useful for taking a few enemies out of the fight for a while, and is a decent panic button. I've been at my Parents for the last two weeks and stuck on a Laptop that I wasn't even going to try Warframe on, so I don't have much experience with the upgrades and passives.
Frankly if you like Melee, from what I've seen the stealth focus would do better. Unairu is still decent for Melee, but in more of a long-term sense, what with armour shred and resistance bonuses and whatnot. Like the blurb says, good at outlasting enemies.
Actually, I do wonder how a decently level Unairu would do in endless missions.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.I know that Naramon pairs very well with crit weapons, 'cause invisibility. Its active ability is... OK, I guess.
In other news: got the Chassis; Nova P, here I come!
All Passives only activate after you've used the activated ability — it's really easy to test that with Naramon's Shadow Step (invisibility for five seconds upon melee crit).

It doesn't pair "very well" with crit weapons, it pairs only with crit weapon. It's not like you get invisibility on-hit or something.

Unairu's armor strip combined with the impact mods that remove armor would hurt the Grineer something awful. You just gotta be sure to survive their hurting.
As for the armor boost, it's like 15% I think at max rank. If it scales only from base armor, you're looking at something like 45+ armor with the likes of Chroma, Atlas and Valkyr. Now it gets much more interesting if it's applied after the armor mods.
With that said, I've had more success stacking armor with Chroma and Zenurik. 4 energy/second allows me to maintain a stupidly energyvore build with armor spiking around 25,000. I mean, sure, Unairu could get that number a bit higher, but what's the point if I can't cast the self buff?
I bought the Helmet for roughly 30p, IIRC.

with some fixes and, ugh, god knows which melee weapon in a row. And, aside from being dominantly puncture instead of slash, nothing really stands out about it. Oh, and it's going to eat five alertiums for clan tech and who knows what about blueprint.
