Lavos is surprisingly strong
I made a post already about minmaxing all of the frames in alphabetical order and the last post I made was about Gyre and how strong she is. All the frames between her and Lavos, I had already kind of minmaxxed, only needing some minor tweaking, except Jade. I spent some time on her and moved on.
This is the exact build I am running on Lavos and it is really strong! I always just used Lavos as my Railjack captain with Roar or Xata slapped on his 3 and as much strength as possible, but his augment Valence Formation is kind of busted.
Current setup uses no helminth. I have 1 Tau Green Shard and still deciding what to use the other 4 slots for.
