I would goddamn love a Hikou riven for my dumb throwing star machine gun.

Also, the words 'Ballistica Riven' just make me shudder in horror. I try to forget that gun exists.

Ugh, the last mission of the Inaros quest was a turbobitch to solo. The fight wasn't hard so much as it was a massive bullet sponge. Thankfully the door to the tomb didn't actually close so I was able to run back through the level (Grineer had all despawned unfortunately) and open crates for ammo. If not for that I would have had to just hide in a corner waiting for my newly unlocked focus to recharge so I could petrify then beat on him in melee for a bit. Maybe playing as Oberon was less than helpful.

Speaking of foci, what's the best way to use your first lens? I've got a Saryn Prime (first prime frame!) cooking so I was thinking of putting it on her.

I was fortunate enough to bring Valkyr to Inaros. The slide attack could one shot most of that fight.

Slap it on a high-power-damage aoe-heavy farming frame. Saryn works but she takes more effort now compared to the good old days. Visit Bere as the DPSer once a day and cap out your focus. Only level up the base ability, whatever point unlocks the passive for your tree of choice (always go zenurik), and the point that decreases the cooldown timer.

Focus is really dumb and useless except for the passive "rest of the mission" buff after you use its power once. Zenurik is the only universal tree, because 4 energy per second for the rest of the mission is good on everything.

Yeah, that's the impression I got after looking at the trees. Really wish I had done that before picking but I had no idea the choice was coming up, or what it was.

Lenses are cheap as poo poo, like 3 plat or something, if you need some lenses to put on all your poo poo just ask we have tons we'll give away, at least I do.

Capacitance Volt is a lot of fun (I think that's the name of the augment that restores shields)

If you don't mind constantly spamming powers you can run around holding a shield and melee everything while being super fast and stun everything with your 4. The shield in front of you blocks more than you'd think.

If you need to do pickups you can just drop a few shields and hit your 4.

You really need to micromanage all the timers but it's good fun for awhile.

Rollerball should be invincible. It does need some duration to keep it sustained.

Use her 1 to lay down a lure that does damage over time to anything in its range. If you throw out a rollerball, it will scoop up the 1 and draw even more enemies to it.
The 3 is an armor buff to anyone in the field, but it also gives you bonuses depending on how you "dance" to the music.
Her 4 is like her 3, but instead everyone gets a damage multiplier if you are within the Amp field. It also boosts the damage of her 1 and 2 if it happens to be in this field.

Basically, you want enemies in range of your on your 1 & 2. Drop 3 and 4 when you're near allies.

One thing to note about Octavia's 1 and 2 is that her 1 increases in damage based on enemies dealing damage to it, and her 2 entrances enemies into following it without dealing damage to it, so the synergy between them isn't that great.

Cool. Generally, should I stick with bows and kunai/shurikens when it comes to his ranged gear? When should I consider using other frames?


Any weapons work with Volt, although due to the specific bonuses his shield gives when you fire through it, high crit chance weapons synergize better. Slow weapons (that is, those with slower shot-travel time) also mesh well since you can stun an enemy in place. That said, and this is more general advice, but experiment with weapons and try out a little of everything and see what you do and don't like.


Also 2nding the advice to get Rhino when you can, as he's much, much tankier.


I find Volt is very useful when you expect to receive an enemy (like defense/mobile defense) and Rhino is better when you're taking the fight to them (like assassination and survival), but played well, you can use just about any frame for any mission.

I was going through the star chart bosses collecting all the warframe parts so I decided I'd get the Miter parts while I was at it. Four Miter handles in a row and an hour of Lech Kril impotently swinging his hammer later I decided the Miter could go gently caress itself.

I melted mine down to make a panthera a year ago and promptly binned that as well. With the panther buff on the horizon, I've got another miter in the oven with spare parts I had sitting around. Who says sorties aren't good for anything? :bustem:
