Lua Sentients

[dziellsGamer]

So I need to kill those Fricking sentients that spawn on Lua For octiavia's anthem and im lucky if I can kill the first 2. Anyone able to give me a loadout to kill these..... things that should have never been invented.

1.do damage

2. operator beam em to remove all resistances

3. repeat steps 1 and 2

They are not that hard, you just need to take a proper load out. Have each of your weapons with different elemental combos on, take heavy hitting ones so that you`ll be able to deal with them faster. Take a frame with invisibility for something easier, Loki or Ivara work really well, or something that can CC them.

Im not the best with modding so im just trying to see if someone can give me a loadout. Weapons are not the biggest challenge to get (but i am only MR 9)

[MrJxt]

Any primary: Corrosive + fire/cold

Any secondary: Magnetic + gas/toxin

Any melee: Radiation + viral

Sentinel weapon: Blast + electric

 

Something like that. Or you can disable their resistance with your operator's void beam.

It depends a lot on what weapons you plan on getting. 

The basic rule would be Damage [ Serration / Point Blank/ Pressure Point / Hornet Strike]  + Multishot . If the weapon is crit viable, you add Crit Chance  + Crit Damage mods , if it's status viable you add  dual status 60% mods [Thermite Rounds, Rime Rounds etc], both if it can be a hybrid meaning at least 20% in both crit and status. If you are going for crit, or with a weapon that doesn't have good crit nor status, go with 90% elementals. 

A basic crit Rifle build would look like this :

Split Chamber + Serration + Point Strike + Vital Sense

2X 90% elementals + 2 mods of your choice which can either be for utility [ Speed Trigger, Shred etc] either more damage. 

A basic status Rifle build would look like this :

Split Chamber + Serration + 2x 60% dual status mods

Here you have 4 mods of your choice, again, you can add more status by adding 1 or 2 more 60% status mods, you can add 90% elemental mods to increase the damage , you can add utility. 

 

This can be translated to the rest of the weapon types. Unless you tell me what weapons you have, I won't be able to give you a proper build  for them.

I believe you need to have TWW completed to start octavia's anthem; this is good, because this means you have your operator mode. going into operator mode and striking sentients with your void-beam will reset any of the elemental resistances it has built up.

As for loadouts, I often run as a nidus with a sancti tigris, but nidus might have trouble getting stacks in a low-enemy-density quest mission. My friend completed almost all of octavia's anthem as valkyr; her hysteria is an easy way to get close to sentients and unload melee strikes with low risk of death. If you're using weapons, I'd recommend a hard-hitting weapon such as a tigris, a tonkor if you're into that, or even a dread or daikyu. This allows you to hit hard in the first phase of the fight. After that, I often switch to a full-auto secondary(akstips are my favorite), they won't deal much dmg but will allow you to whittle their health down some. After awhile you'll probably notice your damage falling off terribly; once the sentient is at or below 33% health, chances are you can bum rush them and take them down in sometimes as little as a single slide-strike from a heavy blade such as galatine prime or war. Even broken-war can deal a fair bit of dmg against them.

Again, as an alternative to switching weapons, you can always blast the sentients with void-beam.

Remember to outfit each weapon you take in with a different elemental damage type.

Or any other blind, or Rhino Stomp. Let's you work in peace. ;)

Easiest way I did it was with Excal's Radial Blind and taking them out with melee (I was using Nikana Prime at the time).

For the first two, I bullet jumped to the door. As soon as they funneled into it, Radial Blind and went to town. Stopped every 5sec to reapply blind. Took them in a few seconds each.
