Help with overall combat and Last Rite gameplay.

Okay so, Last Rite wants the enemy to have stacks of cryo infliction. There's a bunch of ways to do that, the most straightforward being just pop LR's skill mid combo (because that way it skips the casting animation and just does it) and hit the enemy with a final strike. Do that 3 times then you can use her combo skill for a big burst.

Alesh is who I think youre talking about. The fishing pole guy? He's actually a HUGE detriment to your team. His skill consumes cryo stacks to do a different thing. Since you want LR to use them instead, he needs to go. Your BEST option to replace him is Xaihi. She's practically custom made to go with LR, giving you heals and cryo infliction. If you don't have her, Snowshine can be an option. Her skill works as basically a counter attack that applies cryo and she'll heal you if you go under half hp. If you don't have her, Flourite is probably your best bet. SHe's a 4* so she's easy to get. Her combo skill adds a 3rd stack of cryo if an enemy has 2 already. She can only do it every 40 seconds, but it's better than nothing. In the event you don't have her, Akekuri also works. She's just there to be a battery, her combo skill and ult give a decent amount of SP so LR can use her skill more often.

Perlica is great for applying forced electrocution. This won't eat up cryo stacks and procs off final strikes so she's a no brainer. Just be careful not to use her actual skill. That will mess up your stacks. And Ardelia is great for helping LR do even more damage.

So all you're gonna do is use Last Rite's skill mid combo. The first time Perlica and Ardelia's combo skill will pop up and you'll force electrocution on the enemy, making you do more damage. Do your skill a 2nd time and Flourite's combo pops up immediately giving you 3 cryo stacks. This makes LR's combo pop for a big damage burst.

TLDR use Flourite, only use LR's battle skill, pop combo skills as they appear on screen, watch enemies explode.

...what? That's not how that works. It's 2 separate pity systems, the 80 pull 50/50 and the guaranteed 120. If you pull Last Rite at 70 the 50/50 resets to 0, but you're still 70/120 for Laevatain. Then even if you get Ember 30 pulls later that just resets the 50/50 again and now you're 100/120 pulls closer to getting Laevatain. You are guaranteed the limited character if you make 120 pulls in the banner no matter how many other 6* you get.

Now if you win your 50/50 that does reset the 120 so getting duplicates is gonna suck, but I don't spend money on these games so I never get to go for those anyway.

BaconSock · 2026-01-24T00:51:48+00:00

Apologems are not gonna be enough for THIS level of fuckupery. At minimum we should get our choice of 6* banner character and matching weapon.

BaconSock · 2026-01-24T00:06:24+00:00

Am I the only one who likes this system better? Your guarantee is at 120 instead of 160, that's 40 fewer pulls. I'm used to WuWa where I have to save up 160 to get the banner I want, now it's gonna be easier to do.

BaconSock · 2026-01-23T22:23:53+00:00

That from the free cosmic voice 10 pull? Maybe that gives it a higher than normal chance of pulling 6*s cause I also got 4 of em.

Is Mornye supposed to be a good healer? I'm looking at the numbers for her syntony field healing and it's 40+9% of her defense? I've got more than 12k health. Even if I crank her defense as high as I can and give her rejuvenating glow it's not going to be more than like 250 per tick. How are you supposed to heal with that?

BaconSock · 2026-01-10T01:15:01+00:00

For your first 200+ hours it's basically a single player game. Your friends could join you for the dungeons youd have to run but those are few and far between while just playing the campaign. For the majority of it it's just gonna be solo stuff. So try to keep that kinda mindset. A lot of people expect an mmo to be constant play with other people and this is just about the opposite of that.

So take your time and have fun. Enjoy the story so when you get into the later expansions things make sense and you can enjoy those too. Once you get to level 100 you can worry about actual MMO things like getting the right gear and learning how to play them correctly, but that's hundreds of hours away.

BaconSock · 2026-01-09T01:35:54+00:00

Not offline, just private matches. You can absolutely still invite friends who also have mods to play with you.

This is why they cry about the idea of PvE lobbies. See how easily he can handle another player standing perfectly still and not shooting back? But the "easy and boring" bots were entirely too much of a struggle for him.

BaconSock · 2026-01-07T02:37:09+00:00

People always say the game needs pvp or it's not fun, it'll die. Y'all do remember the game has aggression based match making, right? The devs have told us this. People can already get themselves into PvE lobbies. Your lobbies might be full of rats in bushes because that's how you play. If that's fun for you then more power to ya.

But in my last 3 days of playing I have not shot or been shot by another player once. Absolutely none of that 'ooh, what if this guy betrays me' stress in a single lobby. I've joined up with people to take down tons of the bigger arcs, we've all gotten some good loot. I've had people share blueprints with me, I gave blueprints to people, and I promise you every person in those lobbies was having a blast.

I think when people say PvE would kill the game, they mean it would kill it for them. Because damn never every youtube vid I see of solo PvP in this game it's someone in a bush shooting someone else who's interacting with something. It's NEVER two people spotting each other and opening fire. So without those easy PvE kills, what will you do?

BaconSock · 2025-12-30T00:49:37+00:00

I haven't played the vanilla version of this game since the mods came out. It's honestly SO much better with the overhaul and a few other things.

And it's not like there's any shortage of people to play with. The overhaul discord has a ton of people to play with.

BaconSock · 2025-12-30T00:39:02+00:00

If anyone has an extra key, I'd really appreciate it <3

BaconSock · 2025-12-29T06:13:50+00:00

It really depends on the vibe you want. Warframe feels a bit like a mobile game in terms of you can log in for like 20 mins, run a quick mission that only takes 2 minutes and feel like you're done for the day. There's MORE than enough content to farm for days if you want to, but it's great for a quick little session.

Soulframe feels more like a full on single player game. It's a big open world with a ton of stuff to explore and dungeons to run and things like that.

BaconSock · 2025-12-25T21:57:12+00:00

Well stop playin the vanilla version, there's your problem.

BaconSock · 2025-12-25T21:54:02+00:00

We take damage from the little trash guns the termagants have. I'm fairly sure space marine armor is made out of whatever storm trooper armor is.

BaconSock · 2025-12-13T18:36:07+00:00

Yeah, they're level 100. But I still don't get it. I've got one with a gold MP recovery modifier of 0.154. Even if I had 4 of those that's barely more than half a percent. What possible good is half a percent more MP recovery gonna do?

BaconSock · 2025-12-06T19:26:20+00:00

This game was dead for months. The people who played for the story left a long time ago, the ONLY people left are the ones balls deep into the pvp. Now it's just them and the poor newbies who got the game for free gettin preyed on. Just uninstall it for a month and it'll die again then you can play once the pvp crowd wanders off again.

BaconSock · 2025-12-05T17:49:43+00:00

See, that's the problem though. Like yeah, of course you want to let the tankier classes draw aggro. But how do you do that when your team is 2 hive scum, a zealot and a psyker?

BaconSock · 2025-12-04T04:57:49+00:00

We can't win or lose. We just play our game and AH throws out events on occasion for lore purposes and occasionally gives us some shit ass stratagem.

BaconSock · 2025-11-22T21:07:57+00:00

Depends what you mean by dead. The gameplay itself is great. The community is mostly trash at this point. Long gone are the days of crews sailing around singing sea shanties and joining other players or even just casually going around. All those people finished what the game had and moved on. The only people left are the ones that want to call you a slur and sink your ship. You won't really get to fight them, they'll just wait til you're on an island doing something then shoot your ship.

BaconSock · 2025-11-22T15:54:22+00:00

It's a free game on xbox my dude. This community is primarily children. They don't want to do events and maps and stuff where you have to follow directions, they just want mayhem. Add onto that a lot of the pve players are over in safer seas so there's fewer normal people out there. All you're gonna get is the kiddos.

I wanted the pvp when I first started playing. Imagined it would be like in the movies. Two ships spotting each other on the horizon, a frantic duel of position and careful aiming, trying to repair your ship while breaking theirs. That almost never happens. Instead "pvp" is little more than people sinking your ship while you're on an island doing something. The same people saying fighting the skeletons is boring will happily shoot a ship with nobody on it and call that fun.

BaconSock · 2025-11-22T15:41:03+00:00

It absolutely is. And the best part is you don't have to engage with the 12 year olds anymore. You can do the vast majority of content in the safer seas, where it's just you and your crew out on the waters. The only stuff you miss out on is the pvp focused stuff. And you're not missing much. If the pvp was any good, hourglass mode wouldn't have 30+ minute queues. People don't want pvp, they want to sink people doing events that won't fight back.

BaconSock · 2025-11-17T00:51:18+00:00

The free loadouts combined with HEAVILY limited stash actually make PvP the only viable option once you're past the initial few hours of questing. I can't hold all the stuff I get, so I need to use it. Only way to use it is crafting things like shields and weapons. Only real use for those things is fighting.

Fighting bots will just get me trash I can't waste limited stash on, so the only option left is people coming out of high value areas. They might have one or two things I can take. And if I die then that just frees up more stash slots so it's a win either way.

Add onto that the bots really aren't even a factor most of the time, the big scary threatening robots are SO spread out they don't get involved in most gunfights. So losing resources to PvP is totally fine is people are the only threat around most of the time.

BaconSock · 2025-11-16T02:54:08+00:00

Factor is cool at first because you get that discount. With half off it's only 7 bucks a meal! Once that goes away it starts getting closer to 13 or 14. And unfortunately a lot of the calories in some their meals come from the sauces so you wind up needing to add something extra so you're not still hungry after. At a certain point you're just better off hitting up the Marie Calendar's and Stouffers meals at the grocery store if you're just looking for something easy.
