I can barely hit headshots when standing :shepicide:

if you have limbo, use his skill that freezes a bunch of enemies, headshot them point blank, so as soon as you unfreeze the shots will hit them, then jump in the air, hit your aimglide, and unfreeze. They'll all die instantly from headshots. It does take a bit of timing, but the hardest part is working out what level enemies will not be instantly killed by being rifted, but still die to a single headshot (start at around level 30 iirc?)

One time, I did a thing.
Do a void defense and shoot down the long approach with any gun at all.

That's the secret to the "3 headshots in 1 aimglide" condition.

The last time I had that condition I got it with the very first shot I fired.

it is trivial.

The Neuroptics drops there, but the Systems is what gives most people fits since it's in Defection rotation C and fuuuuuuck that.

I know a lot of people have already given you tips but one thing I don't think was mentioned is that you can use the air vents on Jupiter to keep yourself in the air permanently. You'll have to get used to bouncing up and down a bit but I've gotten two of these mods so far and doing that made it much easier.

Thanks for the plethora of good ideas people. In the end it was low level defense+zephyr+patagion+corpus kindly sending a dropship straight over the target giving me target rich enviroment that cracked the thing (tried eidolon shooting before that but apparently my idea of where the... thing's... head is doesn't quite align with what the game thinks).



Considering slash penalty this will need re-rolls but hey, I'm not complaining. Tigris riven is a tigris riven.

tigris has minimum disposition so unless you get a completely perfect roll it is unlikely to be worth using.

Does make Limbo’s 1 and 3 more dangerous and useful, though. Now you can shoot rifted, paralysed targets outside the Cataclysm bubble from inside the bubble.

Using 1 would require you to leave the bubble (and thus the rift) first and using 3 would require you to wait for the enemies to enter the cata and then waiting for cata to shrink enough for them to leave cata before it does anything.

Those two skills are incredibly shittily designed and IMO better off not touched unless you want to do something extremely specific.
3 in particular is incredibly good at leaving unnoticed stray enemies in the rift that gently caress over both you and your team.

The actual best way to do aimglide rivens is to use Zephyr. Stand still on the ground and hold down 1 until the circle finishes filling, then when you release it you'll launch into the air and float in place for like half a minute and can aimglide for the full duration without moving. It makes it completely trivial.

Pubbies pulled me through my first eidolon fight, I couldn't make sense of anything when the shield restorers went in, too much glowing crap on my screen, and got me enough sentient cores to let me get to level one with the quills, enough to learn that I now have to farm and fish and mine the plains, literally, and I just wanted to play a spaceninja game.

I'm not saying I should get those shiny amps for free, I'm saying I should get the materials by doing spaceninja poo poo. I wouldn't even really mind a tea ceremony minigame instead of fishing.

Unless it's for 6 Dargyns pilots before they hit the ground while aimgliding.

I'm going to try wandering round the plains and finding them before they take off, rhinostomp with max duration, and then seeing if I can hit them while aimgliding using patagium.

E: nope, rhinostomp just kills them. gently caress it, I'm selling it.

***A Children's Treasury Of Warcrimes***


Today at the children's treasury, let's discuss Umbra Mods. What are they, what can they do for you? Why do all of the top builds on WFBuilder suddenly need 5 extra forma?

What Are They?
Umbra Mods are a set of mods you will get, half levelled, for free from The Sacrifice quest line. They have a special umbra polarity, which currently only matches the polarity on the Umbra Excalibur you get from that quest as well. They are kind of power-intensive, costing 16 power each and giving basically the same stats as the regular vitality and steel fiber mods, when used individually, though the Umbral Intensify is almost 50% better than standard Intensify, by itself. But here's the thing about the Umbral Mods- their set bonus makes them all more powerful. And it scales up really hard.

Umbral Fiber- Alone, 110% armor. 2 Set Mods, +137.5% armor, 3 Set Mods, +192.5% armor.
Umbral Vitality- Alone, 440% health. 2 Set Mods, 550% health. 3 Set Mods, 770% health.
Umbral Intensify- Alone, 44% Power Strength, 2 Set Mods, 55% Power Strength, 3 Set Mods, 66% Power Strength.

What Can They Do For Me?

Practically speaking, any build that benefits from having some amount of health/armor and some amount of power strength, is going to be better off fitting these mods instead of the regular ones. However, because you can't set umbra polarities with forma and these suckers cost 16 power each, you can only reasonably equip 2 before you have to start cutting mod slots. Sometimes that's okay, sometimes you are better off fitting other stuff. Umbral Intensify is so good you might as well slot it on any frame that currently uses Intensify, and eat the forma cost for that extra 14% power strength.

Here are some builds from the treasury to demo what these mods can do for you.

Mesa Before: https://goo.gl/9rnv5F
Mesa After: https://goo.gl/xkYEvQ
Explanation: A 2-set UI is the same +PStrength as TransFort without the -30% duration malus. I dropped Quick Thinking and TransFort, replaced with Umbral Intensify and Umbral Vitality. Now Mesa has 700 more health, and her shield lasts 10 seconds longer. You can find these kinds of edges anywhere transfort and a survival mod are currently used.

Rhino Before: https://goo.gl/yr42aA
Rhino After: https://goo.gl/kELAJV
Explanation: Rhino here gains 80 more base armor and 30% more duration with no downside by doing the same kind of mod swap.

Umbral Nidus: https://goo.gl/ZuHkev
Explanation: Here's a Nidus using all 3 mods. Why not take 1600 base health and 1000 base armor?

Umbral Titania: https://goo.gl/Zayyw3
Explanation: 800hp and 630k sustained DPS in pixie form.

Umbral Valkyr: https://goo.gl/mxwLv9
Explanation: More survivability, better duration for a longer Warcry.

Dropped stretch for augur secrets on Mesa.

I tried this but I couldn't see anything because Zephyr's body was blocking the reticle.

i don't think this is everyone's position because I've read "rip 423" more than once, but I dunno. x23 for dolon, prism of your choice, as always. some people just like the 4

I do not have the patience to forma a frame upwards of 6+ times for an unnecessary power boost to my already unstoppable hellframes. I'm still holding out for DE to let us forma in the actual umbra polarity.

the unrevealed wisp frame should have exactly one power. when you enter the plains, you use the power and automatically collect every wisp on the map. it would still be more useful than limbo.
