A Fun Little Trick With Chroma

[Impulse_Nine]

So I've been trying to get SOMETHING useful from Chroma in PvP. Have found this one oddity that fellow PvPers may be interested in trying:

 

Poison in PvP is heavily nerfed because it ignores shields and is very effective against the flesh (+50%) and ferrite (+25%) that makes up tenno health.

 

Poison Chroma therefore has a very weak breath attack that is largely unusable. However DE seems to have overlooked the fixed amount of damage (per second) stored up and dealt by the augment Afterburn, a weapon that has a very fast projectile speed and a small splash radius.

 

- The attack will only work on motivated assailants- but try bullet driving into the air, going into a slide on the way down (so you don't get the sticky landing animation) while activating spectral scream (the breath attack).

- The second or so it will have charged in the air means when you land will give you a good 100/150ish damage (+modifiers for tenno vulnerabilities) allowing you to 1 shot any attacker that didn't also leap into the air.

- It's not what I would call "competitive" and it doesn't work on anyone trying to run away from you- but I find its energy-cost effective, fun, and a great way of getting "Focused Void Painter". Maybe something you might like to try if you feel you need a change of frame.

ppl have been doing this since the beginning of pvp 2.0 :D and yes its fun

[Bizzaro21]

void painter? *grabs an iron shrapnel*

focused void painter? *grabs nyx*

 

on a serious note, I might try that, but personally I hate Chroma, so I don`t think we`ll get along too well, great idea however, had it tried on me before, the damage in insane lol

[HoakinBlackforge]

Yeah, chroma has become my main frame for pvp, hes a beast, nightmare of nyxs.

 

"nyx noob spammer uses absorb"

 

"I Charge afterburn"

 

"Nyx blasts and i take damage but i survive"

 

"200 damage toxin spit"

 

HoakinBlackforge: ABSORB THAT

Yeah this isn't something new. This is pretty much the only thing Toxic Chroma is useful for.

Actually, aganist melee spammers, frost chroma is the best.

nah, kittag/Vectis is the best, for frames, Ember, they come, they burn

[(PSN)ThePhantomGnome]

@HoakinBlackforge - yeah except this is Toxic Chroma we are talking about. You might want to read what I typed again. I said what Toxic Chroma is useful for, which is nothing other than Augmented Spectral Scream.

Well, frost chroma rips off everyone's shields, around 100 damage per tick with spectral scream, if you manage to freeze the enemy, you have a deserved kill.

"kittag"

 

"KITTAG"

Again, we are talking about Toxin Chroma. As in NOT Frost Chroma. It doesn't matter what Frost Chroma does seeing as that doesn't mean anything to what Toxin Chroma can and can't do. Toxin Chroma is near useless outside of this 1 tactic.

Frost chroma deals higher damage. Toxin Chroma needs to charge up afterburn.

 

Frost chroma can proc. Toxin cant.

 

 

Both are good. As a main chroma user, im pretty sure you dont have used him enough.

[(PSN)ThePhantomGnome]

On PS4 at least, Anything but Frost Chroma is useless in PvP.

That reminds me, i tried everything aside from Lightning for Chroma. How is the lightning ?

Im not really sure, but i think has a higher range and some kind of "auto-targetting". Not very damaging though.

[HoakinBlackforge]

Well, the spread cone could get a buff, its sometimes quite short.
