Wisp Builds
Wisp Build for Speed and Strength
This build uses only two forma!
Two of the mods are Augar and one is prime ,It’s good when you need speed in capture and farming missions.
Wisp Build for Range
This is also a two forma build that has more than double armor compared to the speed build and 175 range.
It has Less efficiency and duration but almost the same strength.
It’s best for utilizing wisp cloak where she can stay longer in the air while been invisible.
Wisp Build for Duration
This is a 3 forma build that has 152 duration,less efficiency than the first build, same range of 100 and some
less strength of 234 .
Good build for exploiting Wisp’s abilities to make duration longer.
Finals
Wisp is the 40th Warframe and a very nice addition to the game.
She can be a great buff, crowd control, defender or tanky Warframe all according to your
preferences and your personal play style.
It may be hard to farm Wisp but I defiantly love playing her and I think she’s excellent frame in any Tenno arsenal.
