Thanks to whoever recommended the Galatine. Ranked it up and put a max-rank Fury mod on it for that 30 percent speed bonus.

Right now I've got it doing extra magnetic damage on the assumption that it should help deal with slashing being less good against robots. Is any of that correct? A lot of stuff I'm finding online just assumes you already know what's strong and weak to every damage type.

Magnetic is almost useless, its main purpose is to be an incredibly annoying proc that enemies use on players. Bring Corrosive for Grineer and Corrupted, Gas for Corpus, and Heat or Heat + Corrosive for Infested.

magnetic is the worst damage type sadly

its good against shields but shields aren't nearly as much an issue as armor is due to how scaling works

radiation or rad+viral is a good pairing which is mostly what i run with

if you aren't playing with goons so 4x corpro isnt an option, then corrosive is also good

gas can be nice cause it does good damage and kind of has an AOE also

I can relate, i'm sitting on 3 unbuilt sets of Khora (+10 more chassis), 2 complete unbuilt sets of Ivara (+11 more blueprints), 3 sets of Octavia parts, 5 sets of revenant parts, not to mention the 38 unused equinox parts etc etc

i don't even have the heart to melt them for credits, i guess i might just build them all at some point when i get incredibly bored.

Magnetic is the worst damage type by far. If you want a good elemental combo against corpus / shields, go with gas / cold - cold has a 50% damage bonus against shields, and gas goes through shields as well as having the aoe spread you mentioned. You can then use the spare mod slot for a raw dps increase like fire rate or multishot.

The problem with that is that Fortuna exists now, so shields are a thing that has to be dealt with at endgame level play. Corrosive is crap against shields.

I tend to have one corrosive/blast, one gas/cold, and a slash/viral melee to cover whatever situation.

I'm just thinking in terms of trying to solo fissure defences last week. I had a corrosive build on my stupid insane Tombfinger + pax seeker with a crit chance/multishot riven, and it was disappointing how little damage it was doing to corpus enemies. I almost felt like I must have built it wrong somehow. I added one cold dualstat and suddenly the damage went nuts again.

A few questions:
Are any of these weapons considered hard keeps: Simulor, Knell, or Spectra?

The knell can do just stupidly absurd amount of damage, provided you can get that first headshot, but then it turns into an infinite ammo DMR. Fire rate mods can help a lot as well.

Hit the riven market and see if you can pick up a knell riven for cheap, it'll turn it into an absolute beast. I think you could probably snag one for 30p.

I just keep corrosive/cold on 90% of my general-use weapons. Cold works well enough against shields, and corrosive smacks down units that are actually dangerous.

Confirming this. The gimmick is a bit too annoying to make it a "main" sidearm, but goddamn does it poo poo damage out if you can keep the buff active. The only faction it's really not viable for are the infested because so many of their units have fucky "heads".

DE really needs to double (or more) the buff duration, 3 seconds is not nearly long enough for a buff that requires headshots to keep active.

Yeah, I have the Secura Penta, and I am absolutely killing my stupid rear end with fire.

Napalm Grenades is weird, it removes the secondary fire from Penta, as the Grenades explode on impact. It boosts damage and status chance, but tanks crit, and can't be used with Tether Grenades (which would be hilarious).

Also real sad the Grakata one can't be used with the Twin Grakatas.

The crit tanking was a bug that's since been corrected, iirc, and the secondary trigger still exists for airbursts

Mining and fishing in the Plains is a slow but steady income, there's always people wanting to skip the grind for their arcanes or amp parts or rep. Vault runs are also pretty good if you get lucky with the drops and there's usually enough people who want to do them. Even rivens can be a good way to make plat, if you're getting poo poo RNG sell them veiled.

  • sell (raw) fish
  • sell (refined) gems
  • sell prime parts from relics (streaky and somewhat unreliable, but less so than rivens, that's for sure)
  • farm relatively guaranteed mods, e.g. Corrupted Vor for toxic dual-stats, corrupted mods from the Derelict, etc.
  • farm eidolons, sell arcanes
  • farm rep for virtually any faction, most of them have a way to convert to plat. easiest is probably Fortuna -> Pax arcanes but that also means they're the most saturated
  • find something that's a huge pain in the rear end that nobody wants to do, like archwing missions, sabotage 3x cache hunts, etc. and sell the exclusive rewards from that

Is anyone else having trouble with Syndicate medallion spawns? I've been running Syndicate missions with a friend (who is both hosting and initiating the missions) and we've had three in a row where absolutely none have spawned. On the second run, one of the pubbies we ended up grouped with confirmed that no medallions spawned for them, either; my friend restarted their game after that but no luck on the third mission.

None of the missions were endless/small map types, so that's definitely not the problem.

Cracking relics is probably the most reliable way to make plat. You can crack between 12 and 20 relics an hour depending on the mission type. 6 pieces of common "prime junk" will sell for 12 to 15 plat in trade chat depending on how close baro is. So cracking relics and selling prime junk will get you between 24 and 48 plat per hour, guaranteed. That's assuming the RNG hates you and your only get common drops. If you get some uncommon or rare parts, you can sell them individually or collect full sets to sell and your hourly profits will rise considerably.

Oberon's cool, he's sort of tanky, sort of a support, has some damaging skills, and has skill augment mods that can do things like "now your allies do bonus damage of a type no one wants to gear for BUT is good against a few annoying bosses when they show up" and "allies and you get autoresurrected during your healing effect" and stuff. You can set him up to do a lot of different things, and he'll probably be decent at doing them.

Also one of the skins you can get for him (Feyarch, iirc?) looks sick as hell.

For a really long time Oberon was "the healer / support who's not as good as the other one" and then DE released a bunch of scenarios where he's a perfect fit. He's still kind of ehh outside his niches (arbitrations, Profit-Taker) but you could do much worse, and his fashion game is strong.
