If you're undetected you get two scans per scan. Therefore the superior option is perma-invis Loki.

I am given to understand it cuts max HP in half and clips current HP to that. So if the mob has 49/100 health a viral proc will make it 49/50, while if it had 91/100 it'll become 50/50.
I don't think anybody has any idea if the proc or the damage applies first.
(Also I think proccing gives extra damage for that damage type?)

Just bring Trinity energy vampire is based off CURRENT health and does not readjust after. This is why her 1 + 2 is a massively underrated killer. 1 gives the mob 10x health then when its duration is about 75% done use energy vampire, watch high HP mobs just disappear. This works with the viral effect to if EV is cast before the proc. And when it dies if you close enough you get all you energy refilled to do it again. She is my current Queen of high HP killers. Sadly her 1 does not seem to work on lephantis but EV + my trusty ATTICA brings him doen fast anyway. 800 blast damage and 1500 normal crits on top of that is just great.(note I am modded for blast in addition to thunderbolt)


Edit Oh yeah on crossbow notes, ballistica does about the same damage when fully charged as a paris, and the 4 round uncharged burst does about the same damage with the "drawback" of wasting ammo. Crossbows in this game are stupid good and while outclassed by some endgame weapons(bolter prime)they are still good in end game. Now I just need to find eth right pistol mods to make it really shine.

Miter is a comedy weapon, but in certain def or mobile def missions can be amazing, cutting a line of guys in half with one shot is funny as hell and you can get status chance to about 75% with common mods.

I feel like I must be doing something wrong with my Boltor Prime. I mean, it's amazing, but it feels like my Soma does it all better. What's the secret to maximizing my spike launcher?

Loki and Stealthdog. Stealthdog's cloak range is ridiculous and the codex scanner doesn't break cloak, and stealthdog will engage cloak while in Loki's invis.

Or you could do Ash and have a way to kill dudes without breaking cloak either, which is always nice.

Boltor Prime is still really good, but not completely amazing unless you basically use it like a full auto shotgun. The projectile speed and accuracy issues (plus how hard it is to see the actual projectiles) make using it outside shotgun range really iffy unless you're just spraying a crowd or something. By iffy I mean "still more than sufficient outside anything short of high end defense and survival".

Soma's paper DPS is lower but in practice, being hitscan, it's often a lot less hassle to work with and much easier to get used to, and it can double as a half assed sniper rifle on huge tiles where that one rear end in a top hat straggler mob way the hell over there is holding up the next wave.

Whichever gun you pick, you aren't really using it right until you slot Shred. Being not only able to take out three guys in a line in one shot, but also able to effectively ignore the plentiful cover every Corpus and Grineer clown hides behind is a great quality of life boost.

edit: keep in mind that Boltor is only comparable to Soma as a Prime, and Soma is a Tenno-theme weapon so it will eventually get a Prime

DE should really let new players "repair" broken mods by fusing them with a regular version, keeping whatever they invested thus far.

Running into lots of new and returning players it's kinda awkward telling them they wasted all those cores.

I'd like them to expand the Prime system so that it isn't entirely Tenno weapons, or add a similar system for Wraiths and Vandals. Hek Vandal/Hek Prime is the gun I most want to try out.

Seer makes a great dmr for when your loving about with close range primary weapons. Don't think of it as a pistol just a very short dmr and suddenly it is a descent gun. As a pistol though it sucks.

Also Volt + maxed speed and slotted to buff that is silly amounts of fun. You can slide then copter entire sections of the map in one go. Plus you get to impress noobs by hasty over shooting the landing pad 3-4 times. Must resist urge to paint volt sonic blue.

Omg it is so good. Some pubbie was showing me this with 1 guy using Paris prime, a bolter prime and a grakata. Oddly enough it seemed really finicky about the grakata but when it worked for him he owned both the bow guys. Attica and balistica both worked quite well due to higher fire rates than the normal bows.

Also of note valkyr can get into places that make the stalker funny. He poofed right next to our valkyr in mid air. Everything else went exactly as you imagine it did. Oh yeah and he is(always?) Ok to

This isn't my experience at all. Both guns definitely take a long range accuracy hit from max HC, but that is indeed a range you seldom need to engage. I'd tell anyone to use a Soma for mastery tests with platforms because the dummy mobs are of a negligible level.

Actually, this is bullshit and I hope at some point you fucknuggets get it through your skull that even a damaged version of serration is a GoodThing™. It's more point-efficient than a regular serration, and it stops leveling before a real significant investment of cores. But far, far, FAR more importantly is that it bridges the huge gap between not having one at all, and having something. It also clearly says "Damaged", along with all the other mods. Granted, pubbies are stupid, but for new players who are goony motherfuckers, it helps you get to Rank2 and get another goon to trade you a real one.

Did you have a Master Thief equipped at the time? It might've been showing you that your Master Thief had become active instead of that you picked one up.

Seriously, three tics is not that much to put into it. Relatedly, it always annoys me when people in trade list the stance mods they're selling as being maxed. Who gives a gently caress? It doesn't effect the price you goobers.

They are all fun and good, and you can acquire the other two later on. It is really not a big deal and only comes down to personal preference. Look up what each one's powers are on the Warframe wiki and decide which ones sound the coolest to you.

I got Mag and don't regret it, Pull is really overpowering in a pinch. It throws everyone on their rear end so you have time to GTFO and also can go through walls if you've got trouble getting a bead on someone or are stuck grinding lovely defense missions on Mercury. I guess the others have advantages as well though.

I had a Volt really early on and had a lot of fun with it, I'd say it's got the most 'fun' powers, Mag is probably the most useful though in the long run but yeah they're all good and viable.

If you plan to get all three eventually you may want to start with Excalibur just because you have to gently caress off all the way to Pluto to get its parts otherwise. Though I'm sure someone could help you with that if you asked.
