Yes. And Fragor prime is even better. Throw on berserker if you have it so you can swing around a big hammer like its a nerf bat.

Is titania actually good? I love the concept, but her abilities other than her 4 rely on things staying alive long enough to be useful, and her 4 seems fragile as gently caress

she's got a few uses, but her 1-3 are useless finicky garbage. most people who use her at all focus on amping up her 4 with a stat stick. also, she's not especially fast in plains compared to the real speed builds, but she ignores terrain between bounties, can be modded to nuke drop ships, and all of the anti-air stuff there is based on knocking people out of archwings so it is useless against razorwing.

Pretty much any weapon can do enough damage to get oneshots with stealth finishers.
The one exception, ironically enough, is daggers. At least without the covert lethality mod.

ah, but what if you get the riven unlock with an extinguished key on a level 30 exterminate solo without being detected? it's doable without a hammer or covert lethality, but hammers make it a lot smoother.

My personal favorite is that fast weapons that deal slash damage are good against armor, while slow, heavy-hitting puncture/impact damage attacks are weak against it.

As long as your 6 butterflies are alive when using Titania's 4, you're actually quite durable. If they all die, then just refresh the ability and you're good to go.

And on the subject of scanning poo poo, has anyone else noticed Helios (prime if it makes a difference) not scanning things recently? I’ve put investigate mod in various slots, but it’ll scan 1 or 2 things and just stop. Thing used to burn through tons of scanners per mission, so it definitely used to work.

When the codex reaches the arbitrary number at which it considers a thing 'fully scanned', Helios stops scanning them. This is why it's not really usable for scanning kavat DNA; once the thing is maxed out, you'll have to go back to doing it by hand.

This probably means you're starting to fill out your codex. Since Helios only scans stuff for your codex, then a generic grinner that you see dozens of times a mission will only be scanned the first ten times then it will just stop.

Even for stuff that you need repeat scans like kavats. Helios will stop after the 4th one because the codex entry is complete. Even if you want all of the kitties.

Zero experience for AW stuff. But ask in clan chat for a few runs of AW MD. Easy carry and full 1-30 for guns and wings after one or two runs.

Enemy Radar/Enemy Sense stops being useful for sleeping after you run it a few times. However, it can still be useful for determining enemy density ahead and which direction is the "real" direction. The trick with this is to skip super high density packs when the focus booster orb is about to spawn. Then backtrack a tad when it spawns, or run forward and slay the new pack you see (so sleep expires on the old one), resleep while running at the old one, and get a 50k-70k focus orb. You can also straight skip packs and they'll respawn ahead of you later for high density or run at you from behind, but most of the time I don't skip packs I just leave stragglers up that aren't worth my time.

Do exterminates always spawn a set number of enemies, and you just have to kill X of them? I have no idea how the spawn mechanics of this game work and it'd be good to learn.

Also are focus orb spawns time based or XP based?

E: Trying to skip things just made them fuckin all wake up alert behind me and completely ruined my run, idgi

E2: Yeah I can sleep things and move like 200m ahead and they'll pull an Oblivion Town Guard and telepathically sprint me down across the level spraying their guns, alerting everything, and killing my run

E3: Oh okay so they sprint up from behind but they're not actually alert, which is actually pretty sweet for getting them to clump up so you can fry them all. They just seem to be like pseudo-alert and will full alert and shoot you as soon as they get into line of sight

Exterminate used to only have x number of enemies, but now you just have to kill that number and the continue spawning until you leave.

Focus orbs spawns are time based, I'm not sure of the timing but I know they last about a minute once they do spawn.

So, now that the acolyte event is over, did anyone actually need argon scope for some build they were going to do? I got 2 extra during the event. Only thing I couldn't nab was Meme Strike sadly Nevermind goons helping goons is awesome once again.

So if you need Argon Scope for whatever build you're trying to do and don't have one, speak up!
