Directional melee works pretty well with weapons that traditionally didn't copter well at all such as the Galatine. While it's not quite as awesome as I'd hoped originally where we swing hammers and fly across a room like Thor, it's somewhat vaguely believable at least.

Shove as much power range, strength, and efficiency as you can. Overxtended and stretch are must's, transient fortitude is very good. I find blind rage to be less useful than more efficiency. I like natural talent, but some people prefer to stack in more power strength. An infusion Oberon can make you murder everything more than anything else.

What are you guys doing for the combine weapons? like the Tipedo. Are you guys crafting an extra set of weapons and merging them, or just blending the old ones to save on inventory slots?

I built the stuff needed for the Redeemer because how else am I going to build it? I also took both weapons to 30 because mastery totally matters after rank 6, yup.

Depends on the weapon. If I have them sitting around unpotatoed, I'll just toss 'em in, otherwise I'll build new ones. I don't sell weapons that I've potatoed. Inventory slots are a non-issue since I have zero hangups about buying more (I'm fairly certain I'm well over 150 weapon slots at this point).

Redeemer is decent, but mostly for the fact that it's a silent hitscan melee weapon; which makes it good for spy missions.

My plan for a lot of weapons is to just build a bunch of extra ones in the foundry but NOT claim them. This saves inventory space overall but lets me have easy access to the weapons if I really needed it.

We have received reports of a factory that is developing artificial genomes for Tyl Regor. These genomes can restore broken links in the Grineer DNA sequence, producing many stronger clones.

You forgot that our PsyLotus has been replaced by the VorDog :stare: I think the image submitter hosed up.

I thought the rounded Psylotus was going to be the new Clan one and the VorDog was to be the Alliance emblem. Or did I have it backwards?

You got it backwards. All goons now have Psylotus even if they aren't in the main clan.

Now I wish I hadn't sold my Galantine :sigh:

On the other hand, I do have four days to get an acceptable weapon. I have a Scindo Prime BP, is it worth trying to get the blade and handle before the tactical alert expires? Otherwise I'll start making a Gram, I guess.

It's a level 20-25 Grineer Interception on Ceres. You're limited to Heavy Blade melee weapons only. As far as I know, that's the Galantine, Gram, Scindo and Scindo Prime. The reward is the Tempo Royale stance, presumably a Heavy Blade stance.

I haven't done it yet, unfortunately.

Correct, it is a Galatine/Gram/Scindo/Scindo Prime only alert, but it's on the Draco map. if you already have an Excal built for it... :getin:

running it a second time rams the conclave limit down to 500, though. Oof.

The new stance is nice, I like it, but it lacks the visceral "Fuuuuck youuuu" of being Guts and swinging your big-rear end hunk of steel through the Broken Bull combo with Cleaving Whirlwind.

We're doing it the other way 'round on PS4, because there as far as I know there's still no such thing as an alliance banner for the dojo and we've got to keep the Psylotus flags.

Heads-up, the second run of the tactical alert is 8 rounds long. I highly recommend a Draco setup to cheese through that tedious crap.

Edit: Or just don't do the second run at all. The stratos emblem still really sucks.

Has there ever been a weapon given the name of Redeemer that wasn't good? The numbers on the Ajackya look okay, but they've got Mareleg recoil from what I've heard.

Or you could have paid 20cent to save him (an additional warframe slot) but hey, thats just my crazy ideas. I would never sell a warframe let alone my weapons, i even have the mk1 versions. Could be useful if i want to taunt someone.


A question to the event. What are the rewards beyond the first round, stratos emblem and? I would like to avoid this event like all the others and just get my stance and run off to do fun stuff.
