BethTheBean Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Good evening. I've been slacking on the Quills faction for quite some time, so I decided to get my butt in gear. To date, what IS the best sniper rifle to bring for Eidolon hunting, and do I need a Chorma build for it? Currently, I'm using a rad/cold built Rubico and an Oberon build that allows me to weather anything the Eidolon throws at me. Thank you for reading.

(NSW)BalticBarbarian Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Rubico prime is the best, Lanka a close second. Although for semi-casual eidolon hunting, Voidring's ult works just as well if not better. Frame-wise, Chroma is not needed any more. Volt or Trinity would be closer to the Eidolon meta, but the Goat is very much capable of dealing with the eidolons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--ZeRo-- Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Rubico prime is the best rivenless option. Lanka is good for beginners but it has horrible quality of life, being a projectile and a charged shot. Vectis prime is very good if you have a solid riven. Saw voidrig mentioned, and it's good for beginners, but if you want to get into organized/faster hunts, you shouldn't even concern yourself with it. Chroma died for eidolons a long time ago, the blink changes killed him and self damage being removed buried him. Volt has taken his spot and is currently the strongest DPS available as he has shock trooper, his shields, and is able to subsume eclipse over his 4.

(XBOX)Obi Wan Dandobi Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Stat wise rubico prime is probably best but I've always used a vectis. Just prefer the feel of it. Try out both and see what you prefer. Lanka never worked for me, just feels horrible to use compared to the other 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Epical_Kaiser Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Rubico Prime is the best choice for Eidolons. Also Vectis Prime is a great alternative if you have primed chamber and/or a good riven. Lanka is good for beginners but terrible compared with Rubico and Vectis. Also Chroma is good for his Vex Armor, but not good enough after his nerf and with self damage removed. For this job I suggest to use one of these frames: - Volt if you want to get a damage buff with his shields - Oberon for survivability - Trinity to heal the Eidolon lures - Rhino to be tanky with his iron skin and to get a damage buff with roar - Ivara if you have a good zaw with exodia contagion (This is my personal to-go for Eidolons. The Navigator/Exodia Contagion synergy works really well.) I also suggest to subsume Xata's Whisper, Roar or Eclipse on them to get a good damage buff, if you have unlocked the helminth system. And also my best suggestions for your operator are Madurai to get a void damage buff for your weapons and your amp, Unairu for survivability and Zenurik to recover some energy if you are running out of energy pods.

(XBOX)TehChubbyDugan Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I use a Rubico Prime on a Trinity with Roar infused on her, but I also don't hunt very often. It does let me solo a tricap when the NW for it comes up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AegidiusF Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Rubico Prime is great, but I always use a LANKA, but its build depends on the way I do the hunt. If I strip up the Eidolons' armor (Stropha with Shattering Impact), I use an electric damage Lanka (electric is its innate damage) with a Trinity with a Volt infusion. If I don't strip up the Eidolons' armor (Redeemer with high crits and radiation dmg), I use a radiation damage Lanka with a Trinity with an Oberon infusion. I never use Chroma for Eidolons, as ha was nerfed : before he was able to kill Eidolons very easy, but today, it's easier to use a Volt or a Trinity.

Question
BethTheBean
Good evening.
I've been slacking on the Quills faction for quite some time, so I decided to get my butt in gear.
To date, what IS the best sniper rifle to bring for Eidolon hunting, and do I need a Chorma build for it?
Currently, I'm using a rad/cold built Rubico and an Oberon build that allows me to weather anything the Eidolon throws at me.
Thank you for reading.
