Right but there are five beams, and status appears to be split among them like a pellet shotgun. Going to 100% status makes a significant difference in this case.

I don't see how it could change the status chance unless the gun has really wide spread.

Because beam weapons only deal damage as one tick, and multiple beams hitting the same target only adds additional damage without doing anything for status chance. From what I've read about beam weapons on the wiki it shouldn't make any difference unless each of those beams is hitting a different target.

Amprex (or another high crit primary) to boost Venari's crit through Hunter Synergy's Crit-Link, Synoid Gammacor to look cool and feed me energy while I whip people. I will occasionally use the Gammacor to apply corrosive procs to heavily armored targets, otherwise it's all whips all day.

Strategy: Spam 1 and 4 a lot, use the cat to heal yourself. Use 2 to pull people into your 4 and then whip them.

Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?

I just started playing this after giving it a try a few years ago. A lot of the game has changed and I'm basically starting from scratch but I played all weekend to figure out most of the game mechanics and power my way up to MR5.

I'm in the Goon clan and have already started using the Dojo for trading (earned 200p already!) but I'm really lost for what else I can do in there. I've read that there are special clan-related weapons/blueprints that I can get? Where do I go to access these?

I built my khora with as much range and power strength as I could - I'm not min-maxed in any way, but I want my Stangledome to cover as much ground as possible, since watching a dozen enemies dangle and flail helplessly as barb-wire hooks yank them into the ceiling will never not be hilarious to me. If you've never seen a fissure range-boosted Khora cover an entire map in barbwire webs you haven't lived.

If you have a good melee riven, definitely use it with Khora, since your melee weapon's stats are transferred to Whipclaw.

drat that is a lovely catte. I'd love to get imprints for them but... I don't even have the cattery built, so it'd be a bit of time before I could pass the imprint on to another goon after.

Today in my newbie adventures I finally got around to getting a dog. And had the last piece of Oberon, friend of dogs, drop. The dog (Raksa) is fugly but she's big and strong and my friend.

I'm pretty excited to try out Oberon. So far I've only had a chance to play Excalibur, Mesa, Rhino, and Trinity Prime. Mesa has been my favorite so far due to her kit covering a lot of bases, and I see Oberon also has a pretty versatile set of abilities. Hopefully I'll enjoy him as much as Mesa!

I'm still 3 days out from actually being able to use him, but whats the general idea I should be going for when gearing Oberon? I just hit Saturn, so I probably won't have the best stuff but it'd be good to know what to aim for.

I don't mind, as long as you vow to eventually pass on the :perfect: catte. But can you use the imprints even if you don't have the cattery? I thought you need the kavat incubator segment to use them at all?

I'm also a newbie and I've been really loving my own Oberon. Power efficiency and strength seem like good things to build for to me so that you can keep your 3 rolling at all times, at least until you start running into enemies that drain your power.

speaking of which I'm trying to make my Nidus as absurd as possible, anyone have any Great Builds they'd like to post? all I seem to do is smash 2 and then 1 to build stacks, 4 whenever I'm sitting still on a defense target or something, and I'm not sure how to make the best use of 3. nor do I really know what to build for in terms of range/duration/str/etc, so, tell me all about infestedman's best abilities beyond being essentially invincible

For his 3 you have two options. One is target an enemy to become even more invulnerable. The second is to find the person that benefits the most from power strength and slap it on them so you both get a nice, beefy buff, since you're probably built for strength anyway. Pro picks for this are Oberons, since they really like strength, along with the obvious Exalted weapon crew and casters like Volt.

It took me ages to get to grips with Nidus, but iFlynn Brozime did a great video that explained a few things I didn't know.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk8EHY7X5BY

Initially, yes you hit 2 to clump everything together and then 1 to kill them. If there are more than 4 enemies you get energy back from your 1. Keep doing this to build stacks.

Once you have more than 3 stacks of mutation, you can start to add 3 and 4 to the rotation.

3 is great because you can suck on an enemy for huge DR, or pump extra damage into a friend. But either way it also turns the target of your 3 into another starting point for 1, so it will shoot toward your target point from both of you.

4 heals you if you stand in it, and spawns maggots, which head off and build stacks for you. Also if you hit an enemy that's got a maggot on it, it will explode for silly damage and give you a fuckton of stacks.

So when the level starts, you go gather a nice crowd, use your 2 to cluster them together, use 1 to detonate them.

Once you get to 3 stacks, you gather a crowd, drop a 4, 3 a random enemy, then go back to your 2/1 loop until your 4 wears off. Remember to hit 3 to release your poor cumslave before moving on.

If you're in a defense or survival mission, you will hit 100 stacks very, VERY fast.

Psion, Nidus is an great candidate for an umbral build. I am terrible at knowing what else to put in, but I went with the 3 umbral mods, range, efficiency, primed flow, duration & and primed duration because I don't have a huge amount of corrupted mods.
