The huntress and her loyal companion, mistress of chains, Whipclaw goes brrrr - Khora!

Passive: Khora’s ferocious Kavat, Venari, fights alongside her with steadfast zeal. 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 is a monster. Lots of people use her for farming/interception, but I much prefer to run her as a whip-cracking DPS with Magistar Incarnon, Magus Aggress, and Amethyst Archon shards for melee crit damage.

    Definitely concerned that Khora won’t be able to casually hit huge damage numbers after the pseudo-exalted rework. We’ll see what happens, I guess.

    I’ve been playing a lot of Khora lately, she’s become my go-to DPS frame of choice. Large part of why is how much of a glow-up Venari got in the companion rework, with the Assassin Posture they lock-in on Eximus units or Acolytes and tear through their overguard and armor (thanks to Sharpened Claws) near instantly. Not to mention the general mayhem they can cause with the insane status chance their claws have coupled with Contagious Bond. I’m ever so slightly worried about the impact pseudo-exalted rework will have on her Whipclaw, losing the 30% crit chance from Ceramic Dagger means red crits will no longer be achievable which nerfs the damage considerably. Gaining an arcane slot does little for her as Melee Exposure already works on Whipclaw, any other arcane you will be able to slot in has to compete with the raw power of 240% of more elemental damage. I hope DE rebalances the numbers when reworking the pseudo-exalteds and doesn’t just copy them, Khora would likely survive just fine but frames like Atlas will become unusable without the crit chance buffs they get from Incarnons.

        I’m sitting on a pile of over 200k Endo and nothing to spend it on, it’s the damned Credits that are always a bottleneck for me! I would rather pull my nails out than do more Index so I always end up running short on them.

    If melee pseudos can: benefit from Influence and have reworked status chance numbers that can actually benefit from it, I think Khora is going to be an even funnier nuker. Being able to group enemies and turn them into a quadratic scaling nuke is a hilarious proposition!

    I don’t play Khora because mashing my 1 key makes my finger sore. I hope the coming patch adds an accessibility option to make it that hold casting pseudos just spams them.

    I need to try a Damage Decoy build on her, because I think with Decoy she could potentially be one of the strongest generalist frames in the game.

      Ohh, I do really want an Influence Whipclaw. Maybe Atlas will be saved that way too.

      Hold-to-spam for pseudo-exalted abilities would be really nice too. In the meantime, the OG hack of binding 1 to scroll wheel will have to do.

        Yeah, Influence Landslide would be the dream, forget the funny cat lady.

        I might steal that scroll wheel idea and start playing fun punch man again…
