Kril is not anywhere close to as annoying. I ran Vor + Kril easy to farm miter but I have yet to beat Vay Hek one time because the fight is so miserable.
Also, I got a barrel diffusion finally. Happened to get it the same time as my Lex Prime and now that gun is my most powerful lol

What does Mirage bring to a squad?
I've only got her to lv15 but outside of her 4 her other abilities seem really lackluster. Is there a specific mode she excels because right now I feel like her 1, 2 and 3 do basically nothing worthwhile.

To a squad? Um. Well, she can blind rooms with her 4. But it's really slow to cast, and it requires enemies to have line of sight. It's something Excalibur is much better at. I've never been much of a Mirage fan. Her main thing is to hit 1 and then use AOE weapons to kill everything. She has that gimmick ability to trap doors and boxes, but I never felt like that was worth playing her for.

That's something I forgot to mention, the windup on her 4 makes her a sitting duck. I feel like I have to cast it just before it's actually needed or the enemies are gonna whale on me and she's not exactly tanky enough to take too much damage.

I remember using Mirage to share a 300+% damage buff with Eclipse. Using Sleight of Hand and shooting crates was a good Excal blind too. I used her a lot for defense maps.

Mirage with Hall of Malevolence, her augment, boosts the damage of her clones for every kill. With something that has a high fire rate or spread, such as the Surpa and Kohmak, or high area of effect, like the Simulor and Drakgoon or Zarr, it turns her into a room nuking machine. Her 3 gives her either a stupid high damage boost or up to 95% damage reduction. Her 2 is gimmick but actually useful in some situations for stopping enemies from activating panels. Her 4 has been nerfed from its old glory but it's still a handy blind and continual damage with better range than Excal. But you'll want Natural Talent or Speed Drift.

Her 4 used to be pure area blind, no walls nor chest high cover would protect the enemy from being blinded.

Technically, to don't need it at all, but good luck getting a combo multi higher than 1.5 without a way of increasing your combo time.
Fortunately, Drifting Contact is a nightmare mod you can get that will do the same thing along with a boost to your status chance. Riven mods can also increase your counter time.

Ahh that was it.
i remember games where the entire map was seemingly blinded, especially mobile defenses
Wow it really does. 2 less seconds but more cost efficient, and I have a copy of it already! Thank you for the tip. Now to forma the shiiiit out of my Orthos Prime!
edit: damn it, it really chaps my ass that there are so many unattainable mods out there. Would be really nice to have a copy of Maiming Strike...

Acolytes do pop up now and then, so there's always a chance. Also, riven mods given bonuses like maiming strike.
Yeah, I was looking into what mods are used in melee and it's all these acolyte event mods that are useful for crit builds. I guess I can farm/buy a Condition Overload instead to do status stuff.
At least have Baro bring back Shell Shock soon so I can fix my Hek: 👀

Interesting

edit: its slightly different

It made T4I hilariously easy.
Finished levelling Soma Prime and put the first Forma into it, but decided to switch to this Opticor that's been sitting in my Foundry for a week now.
I kinda dig it. Charge time is hella long, but it takes a max Shred from the get-go due to the polarity slot, so it's like a massive railgun sniper cannon. Was popping multiple mobs from across maps. Can't wait to see what it's like when I can dump a Split Chamber and Serration into it.

Opticor benefits a lot from fire rate. Try it with vile acceleration and speed trigger.

There's also Wyrmius.
Just did 5 Axi B2 radshares looking for a Banshee System to complete my set, aaand NADA. Really puts into perspective how lucky I got to get Rhino BP out of my very first radshare the other day and reaffirms that I won't be opening any of the 13 I have saved up chasing a 2nd Rhino set to sell.

Trinity is the backbone of most high level play. She can even give overshields with the vampire leech mod. Used to be invincible with the right build but now she's just to tanky.

I... have an extra systems, but I need a chassis for Banshee Prime to finish my set for that.

Farming at Akkad is no joke eh? Levelling up really fast now and the credits are pouring in.
I prefer Hydron - Sedna, you can get relics too while you're at it and usually people are there for the XP so there's less of a chance of people leaving a 5th wave for credits.
SirMossyBloke

I'll try that as well. Cheers.
Got about half a level to max out Banshee, then Trinity Prime is coming out of the oven.
I look forward to my newfound popularity.

Once more shows RNGGod hates me
As for leveling places i'm more of a Berehynia fan (and its predecessor Draco when it was an interception map) but I've been doing a bunch of Hieracon, Pluto missions since returning.

You'll face the classic support class problem of people bitching about you even if you do a good job. It's not your fault they have zero energy because they were channeling an ability the entire time, or that they died because they were on the other side of the map but why didn't you heal them anyway?!?!
Only have the one I need on me but I have 8 relics with the chassis in them. I'll upgrade them as I can and see if I can get a chassis to drop and maybe we can swap for em.

Yea...
Its why i haven't played much Trinity (non frame is maxed, haven't touched her Prime yet) because i cant be bothered with that shit.
Reminds me of a time i carried a Vauban with the wrong build (had a woefully low duration) in a sortie defense and i decided to compensate by using bounce pads. Fucked up the pattern i was going with and we eventually failed the mission, queue some asshat messaging in the chat how vauban sucked, calling be the f word, etc but when i looked at the mission stats i did better than him in most of the stats.
Instead of responding to that trash i just left the squad.

Ok, so Frost and Excal are level 30 and I'm just trying to get through the planet map now and level my MR. Should I be using any formas and reactors on my frames yet? I have the blueprints and ingredients for both.
My advice would be to save them until you decide which (prime) frames you would like to use later during the game.
SolidSnakeUS
Member
Let me know how it goes. Hope you get one!
Infinite Justice

If they are frames and weapons you are interested in and want to keep for the long haul then you can use both otherwise just hold on to them.
The first step is always gonna be adding a reactor then afterwards once you are convinced you want to unleash the full potential then you forma.
Its most advantageous to use them (especially Forma's) on the Prime Versions if available but adding reactor to a non prime frame/weapon because you don't have the prime version yet wont hurt if you have one to spare.
After about 2 weeks of playing I passed my MR11 test this morning surpassing the 3 friends I play with who are all MR10 and they've all been playing (admittedly on and off) for years. I think I've gone a little too hard.
In related news fuuuuuuuuuuuuck mastery rank tests. This latest one was such a stressful piece of crap by the final few seconds of it my heart was beating out of my chest and I needed a literal 10 minute cool down cause the adrenaline was making me feel nauseous. I'm too god damned old and fat for this.

If you go to Cephalon Simaris' room in the relay, you can actually practice for the next MR test so you know what to expect.

Some are chill, some not so much. Just wait until you get to the MR 19 test. No warframe abilities for a stealth rescue test, better bring your best metal gear game on.

I think i used Loki and the Glaive for that test lol.
Tricked that thing out to go as far as it could (or at least from the mods i had available)
