Duality52 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Aside from what you usually expect in Scalet Spear (Mesa, Limbo, Nova, and perhaps Rhino, Volt, Chroma), what are some frames that are not only considered to be abnormal to use in Scalet Spear, but you find enjoyable at the same time? My list: Garuda: Dread Ward's lunge gets very meaty against Sentients. The 40% instant kill threshold bypasses Sentient resistances entirely, and even the Aerolyst's invincibility. She can hold her own against the Grineer now that Seeking Talons got fixed. Titania: Lanterns help group up the Sentients and Grineer, while preventing them from attacking. If Tribute works properly, Thorns can help with the team's survivability. Loki: Disarming Sentients and Grineer never gets old. Quite important as the Battalyst and Symbilyst's arm cannons deal unforgiving AoE damage to you and your Companions. Both the Battalyst and Conculyst abilities do not damage the Oplinks. Atlas: Petrifying the Sentients is also quite effective. Petrified Aerolyst's canisters are still vulnerable to damage. Even the Rumblers can draw a bit of aggro. Your list? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpicyDinosaur Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Rhino and chroma's buffs do not increase dmg against the condrix. Volt is the exception to that rule. You might want to advise anyone you run with that plays Chroma or Rhino that Volt would be a significantly better option. Also isn't mag's crush causing a bug with the condrix?

Highresist Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Accidently used ESO Volt build instead of the Edilon one an I found it hilarious. I also realized that it made no difference what frames you use, as long as there is a Limbo, Gara or Nova in the squad, which made me rethink my involvment in the game once again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent choice. I'd only add try Irradiating Disarm. From what I understand (and experience supports it), the when their AI switched to melee, it's programmed to make a beeline for the defense objective. Irrad Disarm will keep most of them from doing that. Some will still try to melee the OpLinks in their confusion. But you can swiftly dispatch them Suggest ranged, full auto & watch the OpLinks like a hawk. The mobs can pop up behind you in the 0.9 seconds it takes to melee them off the target.

vegetosayajin Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Gara is a great choice, I've come across some that played her and it was really easy. I want to play wisp more but...when I do there is no limbo, frost or something in the team and in the end I just load up limbo and do the missions.

ConsumerJTC Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Volt, makes trekking towards the next condrix faster, pocket CC and his damage boost is good for making it a faster process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran Wisp earlier with a Nova and a Rhino. Fifteen waves then Little Duck pulled us out. We had to work but it was fine. No panic. OpLinks took very minor damage. To be clear, I'm just an regular player. Anyone could do it. It's different in some games, but here the meta is just the (assumed) fastest & easiest, not the only thing that works.

Hypernaut1 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I use Frost. His freeze comes in handy and snow going isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FadeToNull Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 You know who's great for this is duration Trin. With Vampire Leech overshields, plus her 4 she won't go down. Her 3 prevents knockdowns. She doesn't need Zenurik, so she can maintain combo. Redeemer builds combo fast, one-shots everything for most of the mission. Falls off a bit toward the end, but still viable. Last few waves, she can keep everyone on their feet, including pets. Speedup right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILOHARTA Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 on ground mission: Gauss. High mobility, solid defense, good DD. on space mission: Revenant, why bother fighting Sentients when they can work for you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it with Vauban also but they took a considerable amount of damage. The thing is if you don't bring some kind of cc or defence frame(loki even worked for some time) when they level up to 150-160(that's about 15?) they just destroy the links. The other comp that worked was 4 mesas, shooting all the time. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a feeling of accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General-Pacman Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Mirage with Explosive Legerdemain is suprisingly effective. It straight nukes the grineer in early stages of ground missions, and at higher levels its still very useful for CC.

JackHargreav Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) By far I used 2 frames. Mag and volt. Volt is pretty good for boosting your damage and protecting the oplink. Also his 4th is an awesome Cc ability. Mag is also pretty good. Polarize and magnetize solves most problems and then you have pull for fast Cc and Crush is nice if you need that overshield.
