Help a potato player beat Eidolons in the most efficient way possible solo

[DasDeathGun]

So I've recently started doing eidolon hunts and the thing is I can't kill them fast enough or rather capture them in the appropriate amount of time before moving on to fight the next one

I have a really potato Laptop , its an Hp Stream x360 , (yeah i play with this , i know it sucks) and i run around 10-15 fps in the plains, and a while ago i did my first capture and it took me 35 minutes cause i always kill them before, and i did it again but this time its around 20 minutes, is there any set up or build that is efficient in a way to help potato players like me

I used a bless trinity, Lanka i have the mods like argon scope and vile acceleration but i don't know which is better cause i cant test it out that often., and i have a zenurik focus operator cause i mess up the last few months and forgot about the other trees.

I don't have sarpa yet just building akstilleto again , i have a riven mod for the lanka but it only has a +250 critical chance and +magazine size Capacity

if there is anything i could do to increase my efficiency for the sake of my sanity please help a tenno out, also i still dont get what arcanes to use cause i keep getting arcane warmth.

Title was more of a misdirect rather than a question

If you want to do solo Cap, or Hunt, use Chroma, with his Vex armor, and enough power strength, you can one shot the limbs, while using the operator to avoid the energy spikes. The usual squad is Chroma, Bless Trinity, Harrow, and I forgot the last one.

i tried chroma a while ago using the same setup i had and i manage to get two teralyst captures but it took me the whole night, i can't seem to one shot those limbs no matter hard i try

i would also like to try and fight the gauntulyst but i just can't cause i don't know how that dude fights and i might just waste a perfectly good night trying to figure him out.

So gantulyst uses a huge amount of laser attacks and shockwaves. his slam creates pillars of lasers that you really don't want to stand in. Even heavy frames fall fast if you stay in them. Also you have to stay relatively close cause he makes a huge barrier every so often that weapons can't pierce (think frost's globe but it moves with the gantulyst). He also has a stomp attack that sends out repeated ripples like a shockwave moa in sets of 3. Best to stay airborne during that. Then his launch attack (same animation that causes the skyfall with teralyst) launches an attack like mirage's prism but without the lock on. 

also a capture takes 3 drones instead of 2 because it has 6 weakpoints instead of 4 (2 are near the armpits)

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

so i don't have madurai fully unlocked yet so i dont have that void mode passive , I'm pretty sure that it would take me a long time to get his shields down even if i manage to capture a teralyst in under 10minutes which is a funny concept to me cause i can only do 20, also only have a 2,2,2 prism ill be ranking up at the quills tomorrow cause im capped now

Use Radiation damage on your sniper, and buff your damage, using a self damaging secondary. Remember to refresh your Vex Armor. Puncture does help against Eidolons too, but their biggest weakness Radiation. Build for Crit, since they are immune to Status effects, except the Void proc. Get a better amp, Mote Amps are the least efficient amp. You can either use a Shwak (the shotgun) prism, the Granmu (Burst fire) prism, or Pencha Scaffold (Quick firing Opticor, secondary fire). Use the Amp parts that boost your Critical chance.

The Granmu has Burst fire, and is explosive, and, unlike the Shwaak, it arcs, instead of dissipating, meaning it'll have less damage fall off, but the Shwaak will keep on traveling enemies until it reaches it max range, hitting enemies all the way through. The Granmu uses more ammo per shot, making it recharge more often, but the shots explode, doing aoe damage. I think it is personal preference, but do your own play testing to see what works for you.

The tracking beam is the tier 3 secondary fire piece.

[DasDeathGun]

ill update when i manage to capture a teralyst with my current setup, really want to do 3 captures in one night but time and loading is my main enemy here.

[DasDeathGun]

any help is greatly appreciated cause i really don't try to go to the plains cause of obvious reasons.

I like Harrow more than anything solo. You can heal lures with his 2, make them invulnerable with his 4th, have a great crit bonus for taking down limbs faster and the higher firerate and reload speed work wonders for Lanka/rubico magdumps. It's also nice for Gantulyst fight because you can cast his 4th when he stomps and creates the pillars and prevent lure death. Or use Warding Thurible to give them DR, but i need to test it more because I'm not sure ot applies to lures as well. 

Work towards getting the Madurai tree asap and get both the Waybounds and Void Strike, that will make the fight a lot easier. You cast thurible to protect you and lures from the mag waves and then go void mode to charge up VS that gives you a lot of extra damage, that in turn speeds up the shield takedown phase a lot. 

I've tried soloing with other frames, like Oberon, Trinity, Rhino, Volt, Chroma and it didn't feel good. 

As for amp the one i like the most is a 3-3-3 or a 2-3-3.

mostly just for eidolons for time saving from what I see. in regular missions I still see mostly zenurik

[DasDeathGun]

good to know cause this game changes it meta every time a take a break, and i won't be able to catch up unless i get a better pc. especially with venus and railjack coming "soon"

It's just for Eidolons. Madurai has an active node that makes Void Mode accumulate a damage boost % for each second you stay in there. A fully kitted Operator with maxed energy capacity can get pretty stupid numbers. And that allows you to take down the shields of the big guys incredibly fast instead of slogging through them for minutes on end. 

In normal gameplay madurai is nice but not that great, at least not compared to Zenurik and naramon and the S#&$ you can pull off with those.
