I use magnetic for Corpus because it wrecks shields. But I also take a blast or corrosive secondary along for bursas.

Those all-rounders are good just about everywhere, but the rad/viral combo in particular is my go-to in a 4xcorpro environment.

As for magnetic, it takes a damage penalty against drat near anything that isn't a shield. Also, Toxin and Slash (provided by Hunter Munitions) completely bypass shields and go straight for HP. This completely invalidates magnetic because it's only going to do increased damage to something that can be flat out ignored and is largely irrelevant anyways. Shields aren't very hard to bring down and they only time they're an obstacle (enhanced shield sorties) again, can be completely circumvented. Magnetic is worthless, never mod for it.

Yeah, after learning more about damage n stuffs I'm going to have to revisit my corpus setup.

You must build every weapon and grind them up to 30. Think of the mastery!

I agree the community overall seems better than many other games. Although there seems to be a lot of people who play the game but don't really enjoy playing it. They just hop in and scream through the new content as rapidly as possible and get annoyed if someone is holding them up. I think better matchmaking would help a lot. It's annoying to have people dipping in and out of the squad in game just because everyone's set up isn't 100% optimized for whatever. No farmer's hands, just play the mission--it's super rare to fail completely. Stick around for 10 waves in Hydron even if your stuff is all leveled after five. If someone is dumped into a fissure late, wait for them to get to 10 too... stuff like that.

Do you like dags? I like dags. Here are my dags.

All the kuva weapons are worthwhile simply for their mod capacity. I have a kuva tonkor and love it—six digit damage all day long.

I wish you could melt spare relics into void traces (instantly and in bulk, not spending two and a half minutes on a fissure each).

Either that or do the four for one thing like with mods.

What do I need to be a good Frost in Scarlet Spear? All in on power strength for avalanche armor stripping?

I use a lot of power for armor strip (85%) and some range to cover the area. I stand right in front and every time the condrix spits more sentients I cast and the rest of the time pound the goatse with contagion.

It's only good if you have crappy weapons. Operator stuff doesn't scale and, for better or worse, DE's explicit design goal is to make Operators not worth using for damage, only utility.

Meanwhile their utility powers are REALLY good and you usually want to save operator energy for that.

Op powers (and amps) definitely need some boosting. But even at high levels zen lightning is still great for dishing out extra damage, particularly if another frame like nova is crowd controlling. Zen lightning plus magus lockdown is just silly.

Who would you say is the better Oplink defender? Limbo, Frost, or Vauban? My fashionframe with all three is strong, and while my Mesa is the destroyer of worlds, there simply aren't enough defenders. I saw someone with a Hydroid who perfectly complimented my Frost -- my Snow Globe stopped bullets while his ability to summon Urotsukidōji, the Overfiend took out most of the melee units.

I was honestly surprised Hydroid was useful, and if I had Hydroid Prime I'd potato and forma that sumbitch.

Limbo is best because you can leave toward the next point immediately. Frost is great for armor stripping (and in general. And by in general I mean stripping).

Also there's no way to tell how many random thingamajigs you gathered without loading loading loading the clue scene (maybe I missed it, but I couldn't find it). How many times have they failed to put the amount of currency you hold in a screen that needs it?

Searching for "resonance" in the general inventory works for me, if you mean what i think you mean.

The glassmaker standing you get just goes into your nightwave xp bar tho, no inventory items there.

That does work, thanks. Still, it should be on the drat nightwave screen how many times have they made this mistake.

Is there a faster way to get the initial set of lich requiem mods yet? I've been basically dreading coming back to the game because i still only have 2/8 of them and i'd cracked about 20 relics

weirdly I enjoy cracking normal relics, but grinding and cracking requiem ones for days and days in order to get to play with this system was a nightmare

The old kuva siphon missions are good for relics. Flood guarantees. Or goons. If you’re on switch I have plenty to spare (pnp17).

I have to add that continuing to crack kuva relics is a great way to make plat.

BTW today's Darvo deal isn't awful, Twin Kohmak is a huge pain in the rear end to build, it costs 3 forma (35p), 1 slot (6p) and 1 potato (20p). Getting all that for effectively 29p isn't a bad deal.

Report from MR3 on a new account in a non-goon platform: I finally managed to scrape together the plastids for Rhino. All weapons hit like tissue paper. Energy lets me use one ability before having to find like eight more balls to charge it. I regularly get clowned by corpus shield generators. I picked Volt so I don't even get to use the cool energy sword to clean house once in a while. Everything is horrible.

If the new player experience feels like this to someone who already knows what they're doing how the hell does anyone ever stick with this game.

What platform?

I also started again recently on a new platform (switch) and found it fine. Now I did join the goon clan but theres usually just 3ish people online and all I asked for was unflawed basic mods like serration so not exactly a massive power boost. I could pretty much just mash melee to deal with most problems until I got to MR4 and then its Hek and yknow. I also started with excalibur cos on my PC account I went volt and that kinda screwed me for relay fights. Amazing how much easier it is with radial blind...

Yeah, my ign is pnp17. I’m on everyday and would be happy to help you with anything.
