In terms of Cetus bounties what's a good starting setup for T4 Solo? I'm currently running Frost with Soma, Atomos and Orthos Prime and I've got a pretty good hold on T3 but the T4 is usually a fail.
I'm MR9, I have Mag, Rhino, Gara, Oberon and Limbo. I'm thinking of switching to Rhino as my 'main', as I've become overly reliant on snow globe and I don't think that's doing me any favours

You can do it with anything, the problem isn't your loadout. The bigger question is how you're modding them and whether you've upgraded your mods enough.

Watch a video for rough route to practice once or twice. Also as a fallback i think the usual banshee/redeemer cheese might still work?

yeah banshee + gunblade (with reach and a stance that makes you shoot) and lots of enemy radar makes stealth challenges trivial

Enemy sense will also show you the enemy's sight lines (or at least points towards where they're looking) which can make it easier to stay in their blind spots.

I'm reasonably confident the expected value on unveiling rivens is negative. Like it's cool when you sell one fit like 500, but that involves getting 10-20 that are effectively 0, but veiled rivens move decently.

That's another thing, a veiled rifle or shotgun riven will sell for 40-50 fairly reliably.

more like 65-70 for rifle rivens, if you're selling them for less you're getting ripped off

this unlock is extremely easy with khora on the defense on eris. you just press 4 for 5 waves and occasionally whip an ancient that doesnt just die to the dome immediately.

in the "teaching me bad habits" category i think iron skin is much worse than snow globe. thats not saying rhino is bad or anything but you dont have to learn positioning or movement when you just ignore damage.

The mastery tests are kind of all over the place. Some are really annoying and some are dirt easy, and they're just kind of randomly distributed, at least as far as I've gotten. I was expecting MR15 solo interception to be a mess, and then it just spawned like seven low-level enemies across the entire test.

my least favorite one so far is the one where you have to stay in moving capture zones while enemies spawn around you, and the capture zones are all moving faster than sprint speed lol

I just did the test to get rank 24 and it looked like it was going to be an even bigger pain in the rear end than it was. It stars just your starbaby and the basic version of your hand blast, and you have to drain the HP of this weird orb thing while enemies try and kill you. After you fail the first time though it respawns you with your amp so you can just three shot the orb after that lol

Even with the baby blast it's not a difficult test, you just run circles around the thing from energy refill to energy refill taking the occasional pot shot at it to stop it regenerating.

thats the only one Ive failed, I thought it would be easy but I brought a ignis+some garbage sidearm and the arena was too big to shoot at the other points with the ignis while capping

The hardest test, IMO, is the one where you have to kill a set of enemies while the time runs out and you can gain some extra time by hitting spheres with your melee. Even after getting the hang of it - always prioritize the spheres - it was still a close victory.

I literally just cleared a point out at close range, sat on it until it was capped, and then ran to the next clockwise and repeated, over and over. I only had to recapture a point once, and by the end I was just bullet jumping between the three points because no enemies were left to fight. Maybe they screwed up the rate of enemy spawns when they focused an update elsewhere, who knows :shrug:

Khora makes those much easier. Just let Venari slit throats while you pop orbs. Ember's World of Fire works too.

I've spent so much drat time getting Riven juice this weekend. I've finally got my Ferrox riven in a place where it does that awesome gas combo from earlier in the thread, but I've got Phantasma and Velocitus rivens that are hot garbage and at the 3500 mark already. The velocitus has been particularly aggravating as it NEVER rolls +crit chance, but I only ever wanted to use it for Eidolon hunting and I've got a decent Lanka anyway.

How is the gaze these days? Does the beam-splitting thing work decently? I saw some 5x3 Eidolon hunt video where the guy was using the Gaze to pop joints and seems like it worked pretty well.
