Index stratz?

[Ahniar]

Hallo fellow Tenno, 

Searching didn't give me reliable info so... 

I come today with a simple information request: what kind of setups do you use for long index runs? (solo or team comp) 

I've been trying Limbo with little success, Revenant is great at not dieing but energy becomes an issue and Nova seems great until I get into one-shot territory... Feels like I'm missing some root info so... 

Any help Is appreciated :3

Cheers

At what stage does your nova get insta killed? Slowva can be a super tanky frame, she's my go to frame for this.

If that helps:

Very low range for her 1, to keep your null stars from flying away to enemies, it's not hurting her 4 because its range is affected by duration and the augment helps keeping her 1 maxed forever,(x16 with this build)

With this kinda build, you're tanky af, and everything is slowed down enough to make it a piece of cake.

Hope that helps.

I just use Wukong and Iron Staff everything. They all die in 2-3 hits. With Wukong Prime they all die in 1 hit. Haven't tried my new CO, Berserker, Primal Rage set yet, but enemies can't die any sooner that 1 hit, so....

 

I highly recommend Wukong for Index if you like to have fun and wanna have an easy time farming credits. Regular Wukong hist as good as Prime, so if you don't have Prime, regular is really easy to make. He's really easy with garbage builds, too. Just keep an eye on your energy and you're golden.

With Limbo, the trick is to use a long duration with a slightly lower range (60%-100%) to cover your goal while your teammates kill enemies and grab points. Obviously, if an enemy gets into your bubble, kill them and pick up the points, and run said points to the opponents goal once you have a few. One thing to note: you can pick up points in Cataclysm, but not while in the rift outside of Cataclysm. You can, however, bank points while in the rift.

Other good frames are Rhino, Hildryn, and Chroma. If you are having energy problems, you can run as Trinity if you know that a Limbo will be in the group, as Energy Vampire can be cast from in the rift.

@S4lF

I am using a build similar to your on my nova, the only diff is the Aura (energy siph) and instead of steel fiber I have handspring. Tough around the 5th rotation I just get obliterated if I'm not flying high.

Could work... Would give me a reason to finally forma the monkey. 

@-AoN-CanoLathra-

Ty for the Limbo rundown, it helped. 

Would an EV build for trin work there? Or is there some better build for her that would fit better? 

Also keep forgetting Hildrin... Need to do a few runs with her to get a better feeling for her. 

Thanks all. Will be testing later. 

Cheers

EV or Bless. You don't typically have enough enemies nearby for Link to be effective.

For Index run I regularly take Hildryn, her 1 can OS enemies evem around level 90 with the right mods, her 2 can keep her alive all the run as ennemies have a lot of shield, and as her energy pool is based on shield, I can use powers directly instead of waiting for orbs.

I started with Rino like most players, but Hildryn is my goto unless I'm running with friends and we're trying something different. 

Enemy Radar is, in my opinion, a must have no matter what frame you bring. It helps find the enemies faster. My Hildryn's blaster is built for Radiation/Viral. 

Last night, for kicks, I ran an Ash Prime with Fatal Teleport and a covert lethality dagger zaw. It worked well except on the bursa.

Learn how many points you can comfortably carry. For me it's 10-15 unless I start to run low on shields. 

I also recommend you play a frame that you know well and are comfortable with. It helps to know your abilities and when to use what.

All you need is a tank and a good radiation weapon.

If you wanna go for long prodman run, I suppose a team comp would nice.

Something like a limbo to lock down your goal, a tank to pick up coins (I like rhino cause you can still iron skin by picking up an energy orb and still going while holding a ton of coins, but other tanks should work fine), a heavy dps (mesa is my go go) and an EV trin to keep said dps energy up and apply status on late ennemies.

Never had the patience to go to prodman, but it worked fine for about 40 mins. 

I wouldn't be surprised if there were solo strats for LONG runs, bug a comp makes it so much more chill.

Edit : people are righ, hyldrin makes a lot of sense for index tanking.
