Can't 1 shot an Eidolon limb?

[Brimstone]

So, I've been building my Chroma, getting to 30 with it, Working hard to get my 6 forma Lanka, With hopes of being able to 1-shot an Eidolon limb like I have seen in those videos. But Even though my chroma damage buff is 662%, and my lanka Is polarized 6 times, with radiation damage (see the build below), I still don't seem to 1 shot an Eidolon limb, far from it even. 

Now, i know that i could be maxing Heavy caliber, and Serration but it still wouldn't be able to 1 shot, since it's still far from being a 1 shot. So what am i missing?

Help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I wonder if the one-shotting requires a certain kind of Riven (Crit Damage perhaps)?

Good riven

Rivens probably. Also why would you need to oneshot it? Even if it takes like 2-3 shots to destroy a limb that's still way faster than drowning it in heavy gunfire by 4 players for 10 seconds

I thought they changed it so you can't one-shot an Eidolon anymore.

It's possible, I personally haven't read anywhere that they changed it though. Probably just need a good riven honestly, but 2 shots isn't so bad either 🙂

Maybe they did? i didn't know that, but it could answer my question.

In the viedos i have seen they build it exactly the same, and they seem to do a LOT more damage than i am doing.

sniper shot combo too low perhaps?

What does that mean?

each shot does more damage based on how many shots you have landed consecutively..works kind of like the melee combo meter. Multishot is the best in raising your shot combo quickly.

I found the part where it talks about Chroma.

From the Update 22.12 (Shrine of the Eidolon) patch notes:

Back in April 2017, extreme damage boosting was not really a problem, so we left the ability as is. However, the Plains of Eidolon update marked a shift in community mindset by introducing Teralysts - featuring multiple large health pools on each weakpoint, damage boosting abilities became an important part of efficient hunting teams. While other damage boosting options require more team coordination, a single self-damaging Chroma could bypass the weakpoint damaging portion of the fight in an instant. At its simplest, we do not want our Eidolons one-shotted.

are you using Madurai void strike buff?

[Xhobract]

662% buff is on the lower side of things. Then there are things like CP aura to reduce armor that depend on your team. If you have a Volt you run regularly with ask him to include Shock Trooper in his build to buff you and maybe place shields for you a bit farther away as well.

Your mods aren't maxed nor optimal: Primed Cryo Rounds/Cryo Rounds instead of Heavy Caliber and most likely you will also need a Riven that replaces Hammer Shot. Though it won't help with one shooting limbs, replacing Serration with Vile Acceleration will really help the Lanka feel better and improve DPS.

And are you building your combo counter up to 2.5-3x? Just shoot the Eidolon in the healing phases/when it's down to get that higher.

Just start at any point here and slowly get closer your goal, though again... you'll still most likely need a Riven.

I am not, and that's a good point.

Could you please explain to me how Cryo rounds instead of heavy caliber would be better? i mean it's 90% cold damage as opposed to 120% damage that Heavy Caliber currently gives me?
And will replacing Serration with Vile acceleration really help DPS?

Your Vex armor is like one big Serration. Modding in stuff like Heavy Caliber/Serration don't get buffed by that, elemental mods do. Vile Acceleration 15% dmg loss is irrelevant and the fire rate is worth it on so many levels. If you don't have the mod try out with Speed Trigger and then imagine that but better.

 I Didn't know that thing about Serration and Heavy caliber, But i do have the mod. Well sucks, looks like ill have to Re-polarize my Lanka.

Thank you!
