General_Durandal Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Why are all Synthesis targets immune to all CC? Why can't I CC them to make them stop running around in circles? The only reason I can think of them running around so randomly, is that they know you are trying to scan them, and that doing so will technically kill them. Why do they know i'm trying to scan them? Why do they know it would turn them into data? Why can't Limbo just stasis them then scan them in the rift? Why can't Nova Prime slow them to make them easier to scan? Why doesn't X frame's CC power work? I can understand Atlas's Petrify getting in the way of scanning them, since you coat them in stone, but what about the others? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-CdG-Zilchy Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I don't think I've ever used a siphon trap on a synthesis target except during Chains of Harrow.

-Krism- Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Pretty much the same as the ones above, never used one Edited November 25, 2019 by Xenox_Ilz-ot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnossosTNC Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I usually just bring Ivara and stay in stealth, but I've been wondering if Magus Lockdown works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TARINunit9 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I've found they only gain immunity after you've scanned their first weak spot, so maybe it's some kind of failsafe where Simaris is disabling your abilities? I do agree that it's stupid gameplay though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taiiat Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) in addition, Exodia Epidemic probably works, and maybe Lockdown works. Sleep works IIRC, as do Slows. Edited November 25, 2019 by taiiat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lluid Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Seriously, air kick (jump + slide) feels great and works well, I recommend it. Sadly it doesn't work anymore on capture targets. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuri_Doujinshi Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I don't use any CC, I just pull out my scanner and try to scan it while it's running around. Generally if it's running away the nodes are pretty easy to scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)CaligulaTwily Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Then don't. In all my years of playing, I don't think I've ever used one. Maybe once? Like the first one? I just get good at tracking the target and getting the points while they're running from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade343 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I mean, it's not like they're expensive to buy. Even got them set up with a key in the gear wheel that I can almost instantly cast, and just bring them anywhere since... I barely use the other gear stuff anyway.

Shrintoo Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Many of us forget with such a vast array of deadly abilities, companions, aoe weapons etc that you can in fact "aim" at each point and capture the target. Quite easily. If you need some sort of CC you maybe just need some practise at the target range 💜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCToxic Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Ivara and Equinox's sleep abilities work on synthesis targets. I don't know if it still works in the current update but I have gotten synthesis targets entagled in Khora's Strangledome and Ensnare before (do not recommend getting them caught in her dome). My usual issue with them is them running behind other enemies, thus making tracking of the targets useless anyway because other enemies interrupt your scan.

Once you get the hang of it, especially when they run in a straight line, you can scan each point rapidly. Progress is not immediately lost when your aim breaks so if you can keep wiggling you mouse around those points while tracking their center of mass, you will tag a few surprisingly fast. Funny enough, once you get used to it, you can even scan the points through those with invisibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)TehChubbyDugan Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 They don't run if you're invisible. Also, I know Khora's 2 works to CC them because my Venari straight murders them when I've tried to use it to CC them in the past. So it works, but uh... maybe don't use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
