Magnetising a group on a choke point with strength and a moderate duration works well for DoT on enemies entering the bubble. Leveling my re-built Lanka for PoE was giving me 65-75% damage at Hydron so pretty decent. Range is most important she doesn't really need much power strength at all. Magnetize pairs best with base damage weapons crit weapons don't increase the explosion as much. I have 88% duration I like having a massive explosion every 8 Seconds. Max range also helps pull yank things into bubbles range. Pox/mara Detron work very well, I use supra vandle quite a bit now with her too. I got a pretty good Riven for it and you can charge a death bubble quickly with it, plus entropy gives more energy. Mag is really one of the most dominant offensive frames in the game at the moment. A lot of people still want to try to build her purely on her polarize ability but magnetizes where it's at for her now. if more knew how to play her optimally she probably get nerfed.

Hehe, I can agree with this. Thankfully, most still thinks she sux so nerfing her won't be happening anytime soon. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)JustinC5126 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So I never really used Mag in the past and to be honest it's hard for me to identify any one main for me as I like to pick frames based on their use case for each mission. Although excal might be a close main for me. Anyways: I really want to like Mag but I'm not really sure how to play or build her. What is your favorite playstyle with Mag and how do you build to facilitate that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Direct quote from some in game) so i like spamability, high damage and low duration, paired with the Sancti Tigris, Azima, Broken War and a few others that are mostly faction, mood or mission dependant.

Magnetising a group on a choke point with strength and a moderate duration works well for DoT on enemies entering the bubble. Leveling my re-built Lanka for PoE was giving me 65-75% damage at Hydron so pretty decent. My bubble spreads fast and large. Duration makes it take forever to spread like nova. With mag you want her fast. If you have the augment that syphons to her shield its really helpful. When i first used it. It crawled really slowly and it didn't make sense. Magnets do not work that way. I feel like mag works best with speedy gameplay not standing there with large slow casts like other frames. Being nimble seems to be the key to mag success for me.

Just change weapons to Arca Plasmor (was Supra Vandal w/Entropy Burst), AkMagnus with Crit Damage and Status Chance riven, and Galatine Prime to slice enemies that come flying my way after using Pull. That last combo is just so much fun. All while wearing Alata Skin in default HitsuSan colors with a white jet pack. Mwuhahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Chel-El Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) So today Lanka was finished another mag milestone reached! It feels clunkier and heavier compared to Rubico/Vulkar tho but I'll make it work with practice. The charge mechanic feels like Paris which was my starter primary. Any tips on punch through weapons like these? it has 5 punch through what does that mean for a Mag main? Gammacor gift from Neptune also done. With its beam mechanic it does feel like Symmetra mowing down with laser all over again. Pure Magnetic elemental weapon. I can't help but use it in tandem with Polarize to annihilate Corpus threats. Dual wielding it with a glaive for badass effect. I have to agree with Mag & mobility. I made the mistake of thinking her base speed is faster/better than other frames but it turns out to be average (1.0). She just feels nimble. Her bullet jump probably has something to do with this. Picking up items, energy and heals while dpsing (1,2,3 activates in mid air), it feels like she's accomplishing things just by being mobile. She's literally Chun-li with 3 midair attacks and constantly jumping to reposition, vacuum and evade. Have you tried bullet jump with a shotgun? Or Mag with any shotgun? Her prime comes with a Boar and a sword after all. How true is the rumor that magnetize does not work well with shotgun pellets? Thanks Mag mains the tips n tricks are spreading like shards.

Sajochi Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 My typical Mag loadout. Drakgoon, DetronM or Angstrum, any melee of choice as I don't really use melee on Mag. I rock a 200 strength build, 160 range, and 128 duration with FC or Shield Polarize depending on mission. Now for playstyle, I never hold still unless I have cover, which is built into Magnetize, which I fire a full charge flak shot into too get the DoT rolling. Once I ensure I'm a safe mag, I crush > polarize some fools for CC and debuffing, and maybe kills if they're grouped. I use pull if the enemy refuses to group and needs a reminder who runs things on this battlefield. For maximum magnitude, I take the graxx skin and use tonfas positioned to look like floating wings.

MagPrime Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I was too lazy to fix the poses. Spoiler One build is based off the other, with some tweaks. I wanted the second to be flexible while the first, I wanted a bit more specialization. Spoiler Yes, 10 Forma. It's crazy! But keep in mind, this was my very first Prime Warframe and I've had it for the last 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first thought magnetize was her safety bubble before unleashing 4 to compensate for 4's slow cast but Orsodan from another topic suggested the 3,4,3 combo. The initial polarize staggers them enough to create a safe space for crush and it's a more efficient primer Edited October 10, 2017 by (PS4)Chel-El Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
