It's still a good single target corrosive/blast modded weapon. If there is a damage cap on it then high fire rate weapons would be the way to go, I was just shredding it with a tiberon p on semi auto though. So high damage, hitscan, high fire rate guns are probably going to be best. This would explain why Titania's Dex Pixia work so well.

Outside of that just frames that can boost damage or slow or stun the boss, which is great for new players because Rhino is great for both. Large crowd control stuff is pretty handy for dealing with the constant and increasingly dense stream of infested.

The big advantage of Titania is that you can hover above all of the infested trash mobs.

Yep. Had a group that was slowing (or outright stopping) the boss when its face was open, and I would just fill it full of pixie power.

I've got a resource booster and I've been hitting Taveuni pretty hard to reroll this Penta Riven - so far the best I've got is +75 Multishot, +38 Reload Speed, and +63 Cold.

I've toyed around with it, but I'm not sure what I should be going for with this Riven. I'm unsure about multishot, since you can only have so many grenades out at a time, which include multishot duplicates, and with Tether Grenades that's going to limit the area that I can cover. Am I basically just looking for your standard +Dmg, +Elemental mods? I'll have enough Perrin rep in a little while to get the Secura Penta, so some crit bonuses would be nice as well, I guess.

Also, do Mirage's clone-grenade count towards the grenade total? If so I might just forget the whole thing.

Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





Don't even bother balancing it for the default Penta - what you want is crit.

Also, big time pro tip from a big time Secura Penta user: tether grenades, punchthrough or any modding dependant on the grenade making contact with a surface prior to detonation is at best a crutch and at worst a mistake. People confuse the Penta for a mine or trap type weapon, when in actuality it's an airburst grenade launcher. Learn to "feel" where the grenade is going before each shot, and always detonate in mid air. I have my second trigger on my middle mouse button, so as soon as I launch a grenade I can move my finger to the detonator. You'll get better at managing bouncebacks and bad leading shots with experience, and once you've got it down to the point where it's just instinct, it's just so satisfying. There's nothing else quite like it in Warframe :D

What other weapons do this? Displaying the extended (or reduced) mag graphically?

Edit: Wiki had the answer:

quote:

While weapons like Twin Gremlins and Soma also have animated magazines, the Penta and Secura Penta are the first and currently only weapons for which the magazine becomes visibly larger as magazine capacity is increased. With high enough capacity the magazine will protrude from the bottom of the weapon.

Wait, the extra mag capacity shows on the weapon? That's really awesome. Almost a reason to want a Secura Penta ...

I discovered I really love polearm animations, they feel really satisfying to use. I feel like slapping a potato on one, but I love both the Guandao and Orthos Prime. Kind of leaning towards Orthos because its shiny and faster.

Is there another polearm thats better I could work towards? (currently MR 9).

Also found myself in possession of 2 full Mirage and Banshee Prime sets somehow, on top of all the other warframes I currently have cooking. Too many! I want to keep playing Oberon or Ivara and feeling guilt at unmastered warframes stacking up in the foundry. I now understand the "don't spend plat on warframes" advice. I have a buddy who just started and I wish I could toss him my spare prime sets but both of them are MR 8 locked and it'll take him a while to get there.

A Plague Kripath zaw polearm is the polearm you use to kill an unknowable metagod, because the Guandao was already good enough for killing regular God.

The Zaw advice is what is given out, and it's probably good. I like my vaykor sydon because it's pretty good, the radial blind is cool though not super effective at high levels. We're also supposedly going to get Melee 3.0 so I haven't been going out of my way to build zaws yet. Go build that Plague Kripath zaw polearm since the event is here to get the plague parts.

No plague event on consoles yet :smith: (PS4 player)

I'll keep an eye out though. I really should screw around in Cetus some more, I've just been rushing my way through the star chart. Climbed out of Uranus finally yesterday, and blew past everything in Neptune so quick afterwards. I think I have stockholm syndrome though because I actually really enjoyed Uranus and the Sealab tileset. Cool environments and Arcwing is wonky but its not the worst (the worst are the Saturn and Phonos arcwing nodes that I still have no way to beat). Kind of disappointing going back to the regular Corpus tilesets in Neptune, although I did see one new one in a Dark Sector (infested Corpus ship).

Just need to start Second Dream but I'm scared. Also I haven't beaten regular stalker yet and I heard he upgrades after Second Dream. I've seen him twice, and without having looked up what he did I died to him twice...

Whooo boy, this Saryn grind sure is...a thing. I mean it's not even hard to grind out points to get to the boss fight, it's just that I have to grind out points before I can get to the boss fight.

If it makes you feel better, the arena probably is 'the' spot for endo grinds. And Kela herself also drops several good mods (medi-ray, acid shells) and Twin Kohmak BP (a better-than-average secondary)

I know what you're thinking: needs more forma! It's already bonkers, but there is clearly room for more fire rate and multishot. It really is a shame you can't stick two rivens in one gun...

A half hour of 2 minute runs of Vodyanoi in a well equipped group will get you a lot of endo and enough points to never worry about them again.

The only other issue is that it took me 23 runs to get one systems and I need to go back to get a second one.
