No. Assault Mod merely fires the companion's weapon. It does deal status effects from the weapon, but only based on the weapon's status chance. Manifold bond only applies to precepts that deal damage directly, not ones that activate a weapon.

He's not. Excalibur's energy waves also don't build combo. It's just that excalibur's energy waves are hard to hit with and baruuk's are basically arca plasmor shots.

We see your tennogen. The platform lock just prevents you from using it if you're logged in on PC using crosssave.

Here's a tip, the energy waves don't cause him to build combo. So as long as you stand back a bit, you can still use the same build.

Have you gilded your mote amp? Amps only give mastery after gilding, and that includes the mote.

If you ever played the game Mastermind, it's like that. Each lich has a secret code of three requium mods in a specific order. In order to kill it, you have to guess that code. As you kill kuva thralls and fail to kill the lich, you'll get murmers. Enough murmers will reveal one of the three mods you need. Once you know them all, it's just a matter of finding the right order. The requium mods go on your parazon, in three slots. The first slot is for the lich's first health bar, second for second, third for third. Once you get all three right, the lich flees to saturn proxma railjack node. You need to kill the lich there.

If he ignores the lich it'll stay on Earth. It can steal any rewards from an Earth mission, except relic rewards. Thralls only appear in kuva lich missions. Liches only spawn in lich missions. It won't level up unless he stabs it and fails or fully clears all the lich nodes on the planet. The biggest risk with leaving the lich on Earth is the potential to steal archon shards from the Boreal hunt. If you don't know what that is, then this wouldn't matter to your friend yet. Everything stolen will be returned when the lich is defeated. There is no way to get rid of i, unfortuantely.

No, but maybe. DE's official stance on macros is that they're okay for accessibility, bannable if they automate the game. This ammounts to use them at your own risk, but you'll probably be okay. The big risk factor is running macro software in conjunction with anomalous mission results. Like if you do a 90 hour survival and you use macros, that'll be a problem for you. (Protip, don't do 90-hour survivals).

The big advantage of melee influence is that it's AOE with 20 meter range. And that synergizes well with AOE damage status effects, specifically electricity and gas. I mostly use it on Incarnon Dual ichor built for gas/electric. Dual Ichor has the advantage that melee influence kills trigger its incarnon effect and its incarnon effect triggers melee influence. Depending on your frame, you can add viral with Nourish. Saryn is great because she can also add corrosive and toxin, plus a second damage instance.

You don't need to build an archwing for the junction. You need to complete the quest named The Archwing. You can activate it in your codex. It'll give you a free archwing. It'll work in every sort of mission that uses archwings except open worlds, where they're optional. The segment is for using the archwing in open worlds.

There is no junction between Mars and Deimos to unlock, just a path from Kadesh on Mars to Horend on Deimos. Have you completed Kadesh?

Easy mode frames for newer players are: Rhino. press 2 to not die. His Iron skin will carry you through the star chart no problem. Barely needs mods. If you learn how to optimize and and put in the work to build for it, it can carry you well into Steel Path. Roar is a meta damage buff. Nova. Mass slow. Her Molecular Prime makes interception and Mobile Defense a breeze. It's even good in Steel Path. It takes some work to get all the mods she needs, though. You want to build her for duration. Frost. Classic defensive frame. If you need to keep something alive, you can toss down a snowglobe to protect it. He's not strictly necessary at Star Chart levels, but can be useful if you have a hard time keeping things alive. Frost also scales well into Steel Path and can become very tanky if you build him right. Wisp. For Defection and drone escort bounties. But also just for general support. She's a very strong support frame. Can speed everyone up, regen their health, and give them shock auras. She's all about placing her reservoirs in the right place so people will run through them and pick up the buffs. Breech Surge is also really good. Farming her requires completing The Sacrifice, t hough. Trinity. The old best support frame, still extremely good, especially for a new player. Her big drawd are energy vampire, which gives energy in an AOE around an enemy, and Blessing, which full-heals everyone in affinity range and give them DR. Early in the game when energy is a limiter, energy vampire is extremely strong. Volt. He can boost everyone's speed. Shooting through his shields increases damage, he can boost damage with his augment. He's a meta frame in many situations, from hunting eidolons to running plague star. Saryn. For murdering everything. Saryn's spores make her an extremely strong nuker. She's also good at buffing weapon damage.

It works both ways. If you take a long break and your clan members need to do something with the clan that requires founding warlord privileges, then they're screwed. The rule of letting people assume leadership is to prevent clan abandonment from causing problems for the rest of the clan. This was a bigger issue when competitive clan events were common, but it's still an issue. Imagine being unable to farm Gargoyle's Cry because no active member of your clan has permission to build the Gargoyle. That would be frustrating. This is a communication issue, really. If you have people in your clan you don't communicate with and don't trust, that is a problem. Having someone you do trust and have a communication channel with and who you know will be active in your clan is the easiest way to prevent problems. DE will always hand over an abandoned clan to the highest ranked active member. IF there are multiple members with the same rank in the clan, they'll hand over to the one who has been in the clan longer. If someone you know and trust is an active Warlord, then you won't have any problems.

If you have two console accounts created before November 24, then you can merge those accounts, even if your PC account was created later. The November 24th cutoff is mainly to prevent people from intentionally exploiting account merge by creating new console accounts just for the free starter plat, or to buy tennogen for plat and port it over.

Mastery Rank requirements are for building or purchasing the weapon, not for using it. There are plenty of ways to bypass mastery rank requirements, like quest weapons or lich weapons, and bundled weapons. If you have the weapons, then you can use them.
