Gilding a weapon is the only lovely task this week, mostly due to a lot of people having to build a weapon they already have. That being said, it's by far the best week imo, if you really wanted to you could do it in a single day. Unlike the 5 sortie thing of last week.

For me it’s the gilding something I already have finished. Even worse, I gilded my final amp about 6 hrs before the night wave flipped. I’m just going to have to figure out what zaw takes fewest resources and go to town on it

I think it'd be best if Nightwaves just never expire until the very end. This way, someone coming in at the final two weeks can still knock out a ton of poo poo if they put their minds into it (well, other than Profit Taker cause standing is gated) while someone playing more casually can take their time with it. The UI would need some work so it could guide you to places that let you fulfill 5 different challenges in the same node without having to alt tab to do research.

The new Exploiter Orb bossfight has some bits of story Aside from that, if you had reached Sedna and cleared the star map before taking a break, nothing big, I think. Nightwave is going to have a reveal at some point but that could be when this season ends or in 5 years.

I have a lot more trouble with Profit Taker than other fights in that class (Eidos and Exploiter), so I'm a little salty there. Exploiter, btw, may be my favorite fight I terms of villain. Tyl Regor still has the best boss, but abusive mom is an incredible story.

I lucked out with a very good opticor riven, but six forma later the Opticor Vandal has become my favorite primary weapon in the game. It's enough damage to 1-2 shot just about anything in the game that doesn't have heavy armor, and It's incredibly satisfying to shoot it down a hallway and melt 7-8 dudes at once.

I'm not even mad about that, since the Nightwave objectives (aside from sporb) this week were very doable in a normal fashion. What's wearing thin over the last two weeks is how it's all stacked. You need to do your Nightwave, do your fracking, farm your exploiter stuff, farm for Baro, farm the weekend doublers, and do your daily stuff as normal. God help you if you still need to do bounties to max Cetus/Fortuna rep. No part of that is insurmountable in and of itself but they've got so much of it running concurrently that I feel like I need a text file open with a todo list just to keep on schedule.

I would have cleared them all in an evening but I didn't want to befriend a pubbie in order to do the sporb. Will just run it with goons later.

Ok so I finally have shield lady cooking, and will probably get the torroids for monk boy this weekend.... Thing is, everyone told me shield lady is painfully mediocre, and from what I've seen from people streaming I have to agree. She LOOKS amazing, the detail they put into her and the polish that went into her animation is laudable, but her skills are soooo.... eeeeh. Her exalted bolt gun really seems like the most interesting part of her kit, and it's looking like a worse Staticor. She doesn't really DO anything. Is this another dud? At least her heavy plasma gun is amazing. EDIT: Holy poo poo also the voice acting on the Exploiter Orb is soooo on point. I actually felt kinda bad for killing her the first time. Like, after the profit taker ended up being this batshit insane rhyming robot I just assumed "Oh so they're crazy sentient killer robots with broken alien language" . But the exploiter orb has actual sentences....and a personality, and doesn't just rely on ice puns. I'm actually curious what they do with the other ones now.

Finally lucked into a Kohm riven, and apparently Kohm is rigged to always have maximum disposition? Which is nice. Which other guns have that, anyone know? Also what are the must-have new amp parts? I know it's in the thread somewhere, but someone be a mensch and save me hunting back through all these posts? e; PS y'all need to give yourselves a break re the Nightwave stuff. If you don't hit that maximum tier by the end, you're only missing out on some cosmetic armour bits that probably look like rear end anyway. Do the tasks that seem easy or fun and just sack off the rest. Seriously. You're not going to miss anything important. Pipski fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Mar 18, 2019 |

I used this nightwave as an excuse to forma up Hildryn a bit more and she's beefy. No real reason to use 4 except for emergency CC, but her 2 and 3 are her bread and butter. You cant hurt her, and she doesnt need to do much other than be around and enemies will literally die in her prescense while she flexes. Then you have 4 for emergency crowd control and her 1 is a ridiculously powerful Sonicor Ultra. quote:Shots have a 150% critical multiplier, with a 5% critical chance and 10% status chance.

Balefire is way better than Staticor. Her 4 still feels super clunky and I basically only use it in the super rare case where an objective might fall. I feel like her 4 isn't going to be relevant until they allow us to cast Shield Pilfer during it, maybe through an Augment mod in 3 years. It feels stupid and I don't think she's that crazy strong that she shouldn't be allowed to do just that. Even without floating around she's very strong though.

Hildryn is one of those frames that's like, 2-3 relatively small tweaks away from being really good. Right now though she suffers in a lot of content beyond being functionally immortal, which I mean, not much of a shortage of frames there. She's also extra-reliant on arcanes in order to survive harder missions, especially in groups running corpro. Balefire is the star of her kit but it's exceedingly awkward to use because they decided charging up balefire should slow you down for some reason. It also deals self-damage iirc and if you mod your frame for range you can deal a bit of chip damage to yourself, though thankfully Hildryn is possibly the best frame to use for self-damaging weapons in the game and is the real reason why you should use her. Shield pillage is okay and key to her survival without arcanes, but the problem is that it's useless against enemies without shield or armor. So if you bring her to a grineer mission while running corpro, it's a dead ability. So half the time it's great, half of the time it does nothing. Haven meanwhile is great for supporting your team since it gives allies invulnerability when their shields go down. The humming is incredibly obnoxious though and the damage/CC is whatever, considering I've hardly seen it work. And her ultimate is just kind of there. The dual-wielding Balefires is just cosmetic and doesn't actually buff your first ability. If you could use your weapons and cast shield pillage while in her 4, then she'd have a really interesting dynamic in that you want to constantly be around enemies, draining shields to stay floating and to stay killing. All they'd need to do is continually ramp up the shield cost on her 4 to prevent her from staying in it forever. Right now though it's not particularly worth using which is a shame for what's supposed to be an ultimate ability. Hildryn just desperately needs a reason to use her 4 more often and for her shield pillage to actually do something to targets with only health. Rest of her kit is fine if not a bit awkward.

A bunch of weapons have max or high dispo, some of them are even good. The wiki has a list, scroll down a ways. Nightwave's mostly been pretty unobtrusive with just a few standout obnoxious things. If you don't have everything yet it's not bad to do some vault runs or w/e the specific farms have been, the really lovely ones aside. They've also matched relic nightwave stuff to the last couple of Baro weeks, I hope that's a pattern. And yeah, not farming stuff is always an option. It's just a game and if you're not having fun playing it, don't.

I'm assuming theyd have to make a bunch of new animations or something if they let us use guns in her 4, because it doesn't even make sense--it doesn't functionally limit hildryn's power since balefire is pretty good. I'd be happy if balefire became akbalefire and you got something useful from having two of them
