before i overdo it, what is considered a “normal” amount of forma to apply to weapons/frames? i main nidus and i can’t see myself using 7 or 8 forma unless there is a really specific high cost build that is extremely efficient, but just curious what the average stopping point is, before i waste forma upgrading more than really necessary.

Entirely dependant on the weapon/frame. I basically just create the build I want, figure out how many forma is needed after which I decide if it’s worth the investment. For me the key part is to have the build in your head (or just make it on overframe I guess) before you start.

I have very few things with 7-8 forma though since most builds are finished before that, and too many forma can be limiting if you want a alternate build (changing elements on a weapon for instance or a different focus on a frame build), the only thing I have that is fully formad is I think the trumna.

At this stage though I don’t really mind just burning a forma for random stuff, and sp circuit has caused my forma usage to increase drastically since if I scout a weapon that could be good but that I never really played outside of leveling or that has a really old build I might as well drop a potato/arcane adapter/forma into it if it can benefit from them. I found a few fun weapons that I’d just leveled and moved on like that.
