Heliocor Q: Synthesis Targets?

[VKhaun]

I see in the patch notes it scans stuff you squish into the codex. Cool.

My Q is, can I murder the actual daily synthesis targets with it and get credit?

Nope.  Codex scanning is not the same as synthesis scanning.  Heliocor produces a codex scan on the target which won't count.  This is the same reason Helios, Ore Gaze and regular Codex Scanners cannot perform Synthesis on Synthesis Targets.

The only way to perform synthesis on synthesis targets is to actually perform synthesis, by scanning all of their target points with a synthesis scanner.

I doubt that, since you need to scan specific parts and it onyl scans on a finisher blow, even then it whould onyl scan one part of the target this way and whould also make the traps useless to catch it.
