MICROCOSM vs CAIATL

[@ninjy]

Wanted to see if we could one bell caiatl with microcosm and nova but unfortunately nova is very inconsistent when you are too close to an enemy.

[@Kable7VKords]

Could have used transcendence for extra damage

[@Reverb-SSZ]

I don't know if this would help, but whenever I use Nova Bomb on a boss, I try to get the little Nova Seekers to appear for extra damage. If you aim for Nova to hit her upper body, the Seekers should have a better opportunity to spawn and then attack after the first explosion. Then again, maybe they always appear and it really is just inconsistent, I'm not sure, but it may be worth a try.

[@Ibrahim-ho7bu]

you shoul only have one cataclysm nova other 2 should be vortex. Im 99% sure if you have 2+ novas the seekers dont spawn

[@pucksitv]

maybe pop transcendence?

[@lucienmoolman8017]

Truly the laziest dps in the game

[@coordenadascartesianas2368]

Still better than trashlord

Thunderlord+catalyst is lazy but this thing doesn’t even recoil

​@@coordenadascartesianas2368 thunderlord is decent, consistent DPS so womp womp

[@josh4228]

Maybe try getting her to turn around? Im pretty sure the back crit spot gives you more damage

[@dawsongranger4940]

If all the other tests are from the front why switch this one

Ok i'm seeing some comments about how they didnt use this trace rifle correct or right. I feel like you all dont know how this thing works. In order to get the damage buff it has you need to use your super to get it. And another thing purely using just the weapon itself with no debuffs or supers isnt a realistic scenario. Everyone in a dungeon or raid situation will be using debuffs surges and their supers and whatever buffs they get to do the most damage so yes this is probably how this would work. We know microcosm is more or less a good weapon but i think some of you are just nitpicking for a reason to complain

[@BlaringKnight3]

Minimum distance for nova to spawn seekers is about 9m iirc.

[@richardarguello1933]

That’s not microcosm DPS though… you’re fuckin’ weakening, using melee, AND nova bomb…THEN using microcosm… lol

[@JDB2005]

God forbid a realistic damage phase is set up or demonstrated, especially on a gun that gets a damage boost from your super

[@TheGamingSKITZ]

​@@JDB2005but the video says weapon vs boss not "throw everything you have vs boss"

[@TheGamingSKITZ]

My sentiments exactly!

[@JDB2005]

@@TheGamingSKITZ that’s not a realistic scenario, if you want to know how a good a weapon is go test it yourself, he optimized it and tested it in a realistic environment

[@mrpotatoes4083]

When you super quickly switch to the helmet that reloads your trace rifle

[@jkvosb]

So it really is the most new light friendly weapon

[@derianyounan1353]

Getting it is new light hell.

[@lucienmoolman8017]

@@jkvosb no absolutely not, this is probably the farthest weapon from new light friendly besides raid weapons

[@JDB2005]

@@lucienmoolman8017not even close, literally every aspect of getting this gun is easy, the only “hard” part is coop missions which people can easily carry you through

[@lucienmoolman8017]

@@JDB2005 first a _new light_ has to own final shape, then complete the campaign, then they have to do all the quests before the microcosm quest even appears at Micah-10, then they have to 3 missions with a required teammate. All this just for microcosm, a new light might take days to even get to the microcosm quest, my point still stands: it isn't new light friendly weapon

[@JDB2005]

@@lucienmoolman8017 so you are saying that a new light wouldn’t purchase the newest dlc if they played for say a week and really enjoyed the game? Doubt. Most people that enjoy the game buy the newest dlc, and almost everyone is going to go through do the new campaign and then do as many associated quests including the Micah ones, you are acting like it’s this giant daunting thing where literally any casual could get it done in a week, and if they have a friend or friends that have played the game before or have experience which most new lights do since most people don’t pick this game up on their own, it could be knocked out in 2-3 days tops playing around 2 hours a day
