A frame with dual purposes, Equinox is essentially 2 frames in one, with focus on either huge damage, or focusing on more CC. Once you understand Equinox’s mechanics, they’re a really fun frame to play.
I have 1 forma on Equinox, and that’s to add a Naramon(-) polarity.
Equinox’s passive is that energy orbs will give a small amount of health, and vice versa.
Your energy colour determines which form you spawn as. Dark hues correlate to night as light hues correlate to day.
Day form has more focus on damage, while Night form has more focus on enemy control, with slowdowns and damage reduction.
Mend and Maim’s damage burst is determined by a percentage of the max health of enemies killed in the aura. This means that the more health an enemy has, the more damage you’ll get upon killing it, so this ability scales very well into endgame. Consider frames like Banshee/Nova to help kill enemies faster to build up your damage.
A build for Day Form. Peaceful Provocation will give an additive 63% power strength boost, so casting Maim after the boost is ready will leave you with 243% power strength.
This build is a Night form build, for use with the Pacify augment that gives the ability to slow down enemies in the radius. At max slow (80%) enemies become incredibly slow, and since the slow effects stack with other slow effects (Nova’s MPrime, Cold procs,) you can make enemies living statues. Since you need to be damaged to build up the slow, self-damage or level hazard damage can speed up the process.
Duality lets you create a clone of yourself when using Metamorphosis, and said clone can do absolutely ridiculous amounts of damage when given the right weapons. (I gave the clone my Tigris and it was decimating lv. 135 bombards) Definitely try this build, it’s just ridiculous.
That’s all for Equinox, ask questions if you need too!
