Since it has innate cold, chain beam, and doesn't need incarnon transformation (torid), this is a great weapon for deployable allies (specters and on call crew). Full procs will freeze enemies after update. And this weapon at base still has decent status chance.

[@midivilplanet]

I've been using mine as a primer for Gyre. It deals pure viral and electric (and potentially magnetic) damage with high status chance to several enemies at once. With Rotorswell active enemies will take bonus damage from viral and also electric if you are using violet archon shards, and your ability crit chance has a chance to ramp up before the lightning strikes proc.

[@KamuiOmega]

Thing is, I wasn't planning on using an Impact bonus for Internal Bleeding or such, it was primarily for the constant stagger/CC on the enemies, in addition to the boosted finisher threshold for higher levels. I need to double check if the Cold status would also slow down the stagger animation, though.

[@LuminousLuna01]

I've been getting magnetic or radiation for my tenet and kuva weapons for the extra unique status is a great bonus

[@wubwubdododo5656]

id argue the weapon is best as a primary primer, taking care of unusual status priming, crowd-control AND energy concerns with the new augment. Nowadays a properly build companion can be used for viral-priming, meaning you can go ham with this thing with magnetic, radiation, corrosive and cold.

[@NeightrixPrime]

The viral build is inferior to the corrosive/cold build against armor anyway. Unless your name is Saryn, of course.

[@P0P218]

chained targets not taking quite as much damage is unfortunate but you can still apply plenty of status effects on them. so i'll be using cold+corrosive to reduce armor and slow enemies down. i wonder how well the enhanced cold is going to work with the element update. i suppose freezing enemies 100% would render them a non threat which is pretty sweet in most situations. extra crit damage is nice too, i doubt biting frost would apply to enemies frozen via cold procs but if it does then.. that'd be pretty good

[@HeckinDoga]

Just reminder that impact isn't a bad idea on this one due to Primary Exhilarate and this weapon dropping energy orbs. If you really want to use it as a energy utility weapon, it might not be a bad idea to have it assuming you can kill things still.

If you have a solution or advice on how I can fix this problem I would very much appreciate it pls and thank you 🙏🏻 😊

[@Balance127]

Doesnt a tauforged emerald give you +3 Max Corrosive stacks which is 13 and not 14 for 100% armor strip?

[@TheKengineer]

Correct. You don't need total armor strip in most circumstances which is why I suggest the tauforged, but for extremely high levels it can be beneficial. For example on the SP level 200 Corrupted Bombards, that extra status proc takes us from around 0.214 seconds to kill them, to 0.076 seconds to kill them. While proportionally a lot faster, we're talking fractions of a second for most content.

[@SkeasySimple]

10:12 can you please explain why you keep them ranked up? I learned, that you want to have less viral than slash/heat.

[@brobdingnagian100]

when you use unranked mods, the weighting of viral goes down, but so does the status chance. this means the chance to proc heat doesn't always increase enough to be worth losing the dmg from unranked mods

[@jasonglebe3235]

I think you're sleeping on Primary Frostbite. At rank 5 it provides the same crit multi as Vital Sense but with multishot on top.

[@lesvegetables5014]

So let me write this down, and tell me if I got it wrong: Heat, Cold, Rad, and Magnetic are good for being simpler and safer combos to add to your glaxion. You are recommending a setup that allows for a combo of cold and corrosive, since having photon overcharge is simply a great bonus for your mod setup and energy production, alongside allowing you to apply two normal or one tauforged emerald shard(s) for 100% with two normal, or 98% removal with the single tauforged. The damage from this build is partly with status and crit given the arcane and galvanized mods. You can choose to have photon overcharge which can give a lot of energy orb drops, but you should choose between losing point strike to get the highest potential damage ceiling, or choosing to remove galvanized scope to raise the damage floor, but lower the damage ceiling. Would that summary be correct? I do want to know where in the build you are able to reach towards red crits, as the tenet glaxion doesn't seem to have a high enough base crit chance to support a setup with red crits, even with galvanized scope. Where is the crit chance coming from for this build? Is galv scope really carrying the crit chance that hard, allowing for red crits? I'm looking at the wiki and my understanding is that it's an additive buff, similar to point strike and critical delay. Is it not additive, and the buff for galv scope is added AFTER the crit chance initially? If so, then red crits makes sense.

[@hypersycos3202]

Given he's simultaneously getting yellow, orange and red crits, it's likely a vigilante mod on his sentinel's weapon.

[@YourBoyToy1769]

He mentioned Arcane Avenger and seemingly was using it in the mid mission footage. If I'm not mistaken, its buff icon is visible around 8:30 mark for instance.

[@TheKengineer]

Hypersycos3202 is correct - Vigilante mods on my sentinel's equipped weapon. This gives a chance for critical hits to be boosted to the next tier, turning some oranges into reds.

[@lesvegetables5014]

@@TheKengineer I didn't know that! I started playing just before dante came out, so I'm still relatively new. Just checked the wiki, and I assumed also that arcane avenger would proc and apply to the base weapon, but no its after that!

I don't agree at all to abort mission if you don't find a hand before you reach the capture target, ive only 'failed' to spawn a candidate maybe 4 times in all my times playing as the hand was too close to extraction, thats all.

[@lookalike4805]

Something most players don't Realise is the Capture Target only Runs Away if they Appear in the *Frustrem* (Also know as the Camera's Viewing Angle) . So as long as you don't look at them... They Wont Run Away. Even if you're in the Same Room. You can use this Trick to *ALWAYS* find the Golden Shrine before Capturing the Target... And this Always guarantees a Candidate Spawn... 100% no Exceptions !!!

[@Darthmufin]

@@lookalike4805 Correct, ive known that since they changed how capture missions worked in fact.

This guide is aimed at keeping things consistent and simple. I made that suggestion following the number of players who've come to my streams wondering what they're doing wrong because the candidate didn't spawn for them (precisely they were too close to extraction - the game doesn't tell them this). You're welcome to try after doing the capture so long as you understand why it sometimes doesn't work.

Your advice on Sister spawning is incorrect: There is no need to go slowly on the Capture, the Sister Candidate is always 100% guaranteed to spawn unless you just... leave the mission, for some reason. It doesn't matter if the Cap target was instakilled and picked up 20 minutes ago or if they're still roaming.

[@dententciokezyte4336]

And another scenario that sister wont spawn is if you rush the mission and cant find golden hand until it's 150-200m to the extraction point. It is counted as mission already accomplished and no enemy will spawn at that point. I've waste so much time because of this, so his saying is kinda true.
