raven2k01 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I was wondering what the best loadouts are to kill the Profit Taker. Currently I'm using Inaros for survivability, a Vectis Prime for ranged sniping. My Arch Gun is Velocitus for the opticor like charged damage.

I would go with: Chroma*, or other buff frame. *Note that Chroma has durability buffs too. Any high crit primary, and secondary. With different elements on each. The Archgun would be Imperator (Vandal if possible) Edited July 25, 2019 by krc473 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnarlsDarkley Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 There is no "best" build. Just the ones which most people are using and often referred as meta. And that's for sure not Inaros because he has no dmg boosting ability. Better try Chroma with sth like this weapons of your choice with as many different elements as possible or Rhino/Octavia 8 minutes ago, raven2k01 said: a Vectis Prime for ranged sniping. I think you first need to understand how this fight works. Just a Vectis isn't going to do the job for you http://wegaming.de/gnarls/#orb1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant in terms of weapon selection, but Harrow can provide crit chance boosts, but only for limited amounts of time I think. Personally, I use Chroma.

Autongnosis Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) il y a 12 minutes, lighthoof a dit : So , Harrow then? Not necessarily since you cannot prolong the buff. Chroma, rhino etc tend to work better. Or targeted exhalted abilities that you can use to cover more elements for the shield phase (hildryn, excal, ivara etc). I would also suggest running a zaw with tge exodia that throws a projectile for ease of use. Personally my loadout is: Toxic chroma for dmg buff and faster weapon swap / reload Rubico modded for radiation, cold and impact Aklex Prime modded for corrosive, fire and puncture Zaw with projectile exodia modded for magnetic gas and base blast from exodia. Archgun isn't relevant with chroma (they all take down limbs/body fast but imperator Vandal is the comfiest one. I like velocitus for style points. Bring an Adarza for extra crits and healing if you want. Didn't try very hard for NW and killed in 7 mins solo. I found in general as chroma you're gonna have a bad time without rage/HA. Other frames might not need it as much. Titania can also work if you can manage cause she can literally cover all elements with her 2 exalteds. Tho she has a quite hard time surviving. She's also great for pylons phase, not so great with archgun tho. Edited July 25, 2019 by Autongnosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltage Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) I use Chroma (Mirage when in a squad) with Speed Holster and max strength for buffing. Weapons: Synapse for (innate Corrosive), Gas, and Cold. Tombfinger for (innate Radiation), Viral, Heat, Puncture, and Impact Redeemer Prime for Magnetic, (innate Blast), and Toxin. I use these weapons due to Riven Mods and making use of all the Primed elemental mods I can, but Plague Kripath with Exodia Contagion, Battacor, and other weapons can be a good choice as well. Imperator Vandal is my choice of an Arch-gun which would employ both Electricity mods and Zodiac Shred. That accounts for all 13 damage types. My Operator uses Magus Repair and Lockdown, and my Amp has a Phahd Scaffold to one shot the pylons. It's pretty funky but it works great for solo.

844448 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I use nezha with reaping chakram, he handles the mobs just right and for weapons, bring any crit weapons with multiple elements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnarlsDarkley Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Just now, Voltage said: I'm curious what you have done that I haven't. I really cannot say. My usual setup is Chroma, Tigris Prime for Slash, Viral and Heat, Tombfinger for Corrosive, Cold, Impact and Puncture and a Whip to clear the trash mobs (and to not die) This week for NW I thought of trying sth different to not get bored again. First I used Redeemer Prime with Gas (and innate Blast) and I used the charge shots...and 0's all over its face. Tried a few times and eventually aborted after some minutes because too much trash I had no pleasure of killing. After that I tried with my Plague Kripath and Contagion and when Blast was on its face I used the Arcane and got 0 again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inaros is good at survivability if you have healing arcanes but Chroma is faster to kill it. It's useless to have +300 strength on Chroma if you will die every time, just use 3 umbra mods, rage and you need only 1 forma... You need few seconds to remove all the health with 200+ strength. To me imperator vandal is better than velocitus. Edited July 25, 2019 by bibmobello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caine2112 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I'm curious to know how you guys keep your Chroma healed. Clearly I'm doing something very wrong with my Chroma because I drop dead in 1 or 2 shots all the time with his third ability on. Armor mods galor, lots of health, energy color on White, yet I just die so damn often. It always feels like I'm playing Nyx. What advice can you give me that doesn't involve spending tons of plat on arcanes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piercing_Rounds Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Inaros with arcanes and imperator vandal with a riven are good enough. With Inaros, you won't have to worry dying constantly and you can just sit back while you watch some YouTube videos. Personally it's not fun to have a 300% str Chroma that dies constantly. But if you like that then you can go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, Nyx can stand in the middle of it all and blast away from within her bubble without getting damaged or tossed around, and also provide CC to the field. She's actually great fun for PT if combined with a buffing frame so she deal more damage. That's how I did it with my bro the first weeks. As for Chroma you just have to always be on the move and make use of your environment to avoid too much damage. He's slow af though, so use your operator a lot and heal yourself from Void Mode with arcanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat Chroma (heal and extra health to feed hunters adrenaline) Lifestrike modded melee + Hunter's Adrenaline (heal and energy regain) Adaptation (not essential, just some extra damage reduction which is nice) Edited July 25, 2019 by CephalonDizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagadyr Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I use magus elevate to heal chroma. I have tons of armor plus vex armor plus arcane guardian and adaptation. You must stay mobile. Too much clutter? Dash to the opposite direction. Destroy beacons to lower enemies spawn. Its even more difficult on bad pc because I dont have 60fps during the fight but still doable. When I start shooting legs with imperator, my frames just drop down to like 5-6. But then it goes back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
