Looking it up, both TrinityP and VaubanP require 9000 cryotic, so it's not like you got off easy on that, either.

I am specifically going to keep a Chroma for dolons and one for normal groups that has Corrosive Projection. Very, very few frames that warrant multiple variants. The only other one I can think of is Excalibur Prime.

I liked War Within, but it's the weakest of the quest trilogy. At least you've opened up the Sortie and Kuva missions :keke: Be sure to visit the Quills on Cetus to get properly equipped before starting The Sacrifice.

What sort of gear do you need to start doing Sorties? Do you need to have forma'd a couple times to squeeze good mods in, or is it doable as a 4th with basic equipment and okay but not great mods. I'd like more rivens.

how to play mirage:
1. put up both buffs. they have the same long duration, so this is easy.
2. shoot dudes with hilarious sci fi guns, but never boring bullets.
3. use her 4 if you want, it doesn't matter and it's not like you need the energy.

In Cetus. But I think you need to so the Saya's Vigil quest (also in Cetus) first.

If you have a decently tricked out frame (most potato'd prime frames will do) and weapon set then that'll do you for the most part. If you're not sure then just go for it anyway, worst case scenario you have to be carried by someone who could probably solo the sortie anyway.

Behind Konzu, up into the hilly bit, if you follow grafiti and see a door with a familiar pedestal activate your War Within power to enter a new room. EDIT : But you also need Saya's Vigil completed first (thanks for the reminder other goon in thread)


On what you need to do sorties? Hmm. I'd probably say a frame with a potato in it (I think they have to be level 30 to enter the missions?) and a decent weapon with a potato in it will be okay if you are with goons. Take something survivable though as level 100 enemies are pretty spicy. EDIT : And Corpro if there's any armour in the mission because Sortie 3 grineer and corrupted take so long to kill. Like, seconds.

For reference, my normal sortie loadout is Nezha (can't kill what you can't catch) with my Arca Plasmor, Atomos and Prisma Dual Cleavers. All potato'd but the Atomos is the only one of those with any forma in.

Nezha with some range and duration gets to CC enemies and look metal as gently caress, which is nice.

What you need to be a fourth in sorties:

1) A level 30 frame
2) Corpro
3) One of each type of weapon (assault rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, secondary, melee) for weapon restriction sorties

Point of order: the absolute deluge of pellets that comes from Mirage using Mara Detron is hilarious, and I feel like it should be an exception to number 2.

But yeah, for best results pick something hilariously flashy like Ignis W or Lenz or Arca Plasmor.

The Arca Plasmor goes well with pretty much anything from what I've seen. I've had mine for about a week and haven't been able to bring myself to switch away from it yet.

On a side note, Chroma is now in the oven, just in time to be ready for the weekend.

Ignis is especially hilarious on mirage because its beam is so drat fat you'll be hitting with all 3 more often than not. Plasmor probably too? I haven't tried that yet.

Bring your sunday best to sorties, and if you're going to get into them regularly then consider setting up some kits of high-end hardware. It's not Eidolon levels of "these specific frames with these specific builds" but you'll still want to be equipped to deal with handicapping mission conditions and some seriously hench enemies.

For the new sortie-doers, make sure that you have one weapon from each category (rifle, shotgun, sniper, bow, secondary, melee) ready to go. If a mission has a condition "Sniper Only" and you don't have a sniper rifle, then no sortie for you that day :haw: (e,f:b)

That said if you use a frame like Titania, Excalibur, Mesa, etc., you still have to bring the sniper rifle or bow or whatever, but you sure as hell don't have to use it.

Telling a melee-only Survival sortie to gently caress off in dex pixia is great.

Those don't qualify as boring bullets, so you're safe.

Speaking of clouds of doom energy, I'm still greatly enjoying the Mirage/Phantasma combo. Favorite stupid extraction antic: lobbing grenades straight up so they explode just above head height.

Oh yeah I forgot this bit, remember if you don't like regular bows (and don't yet have the fieldron to build a Lenz), its worth putting a bit of time into an Attica or Zhuge since they still count as bows despite basically being assault rifles.

one of my favorite things recently has been using zephyr on the plains and/or in more open tilesets and more or less acting as a floating mortar battery due to the intense airtime letting me easily get off 3-4 phantasma grenade lobs
