Soloing Defense Missions As A New Loki Player

[hwdge]

Defense missions seem to be better with groups but because of my current location teammates are hard to come by

i recently picked the loki frame and am having trouble keeping the horde away from the cryo-pod, i dont have any issue staying alive but it feels like my dps isn't enough to kill them all fast enough.

 

 

it also seems that invisibility is utterly useless because they just go shoot the cryopod when they dont see me

 

is there something i can do with a different mindset instead of just camping near the cryopod and shooting them?

I'm no expert on Loki, being a Nova fanatic, but I'd think the Decoy would distract them from the objective. Please correct me if I'm wrong :)

the decoy dies very quickly and i dont have the energy to keep spamming it :(

My advice then would be to do missions like apollodorus or find a taxi to Sechura in Pluto. Sechura is always full of people levelling weapons, frames, and sentinels/kubrows. Once your gear is at a higher level, you'll be able to solo pretty much anything. Loki is a good soloing frame for most missions, but defense missions are not his forte.

Well Loki is just not good for soloing Defense missions. You probably tried everything that can be done.

You should try getting another frame ex Frost, Nyx, Vauban, Nova etc

You could always try the Dual Ichors invisibility build.  That tends to be effective.

 

If you can't do that you may need to find a group to help you

Invisibility enables a stealth melee multiplier that will help you to cleave through anything you touch.  Use and abuse this to kill everyone around the pod, and drop a Decoy if the pod is getting too slammed.  Worse case scenario, Disarm your foes to stop them from shooting the pod and force them into your domain: Melee Only.

 

Focus on duration mods like Continuity, Constitution, and Narrow Minded to maximize the duration of your Invis, and/or power efficiency Mods to enable Decoy/Invis spam.  Bring a hard-hitting melee weapon.

 

Best of luck!

Try using radial disarm whenever available if fighting enemies with guns. It will make them so much easier to kill
