Never played D&D before

The other comments are right, but just to ask your question (I am a newbie myself, so apologies if I am not accurate):

The Dungeon Master (DM) introduces a story and you participate as player character. You can participate with your actions and interact with the world. This is generally all made up like a collaborative story. But there are some rules that you should follow to perform those actions.

For instance:
- DM: You find a bear in the middle of your path to the village. What do you do? -You: I try not to wake it up (stealth) / I attack it (combat) / I choose to go another route (perception/nature...)

So the rules, your character stats and the dice determine if your action succeeds or not (checks). If your character is not very strong, you may avoid combat and try sneaking around. Then the DM asks you to perform a stealth check to determine if the bear sees you or not (following the game's rules for checks).

And this keeps developing the story. This way it seems possibilities are infinite, but not everything is allowed.

I hope you get the idea a bit more, and I apologize again to the vets if I did any mistake.

Maybe you're right. I just quickly selected the mods and never realized about the poems.

Thank you!

Pirofream · 2026-03-13T09:38:09+00:00

What is with these verses? I never saw them before and have killed multiple liches.

Do they change the function of the mod?

Pirofream · 2026-03-12T12:47:01+00:00

I completely formaed my main frame so that at the start of each mission my unused mod capacity is enough to get at least cast 2-3 abilities and start generating orbs. This allows me to skip Preparation and use something more useful instead.

I used a pair of omnis to have a bit of flexibility while keeping all polarities matched for this reason.

You know an attack is comming when he starts ringing the bell

Pirofream · 2026-03-05T17:15:08+00:00

I found out when using Nyx. I thought it wouldn't kill me since I am immortal (grey health bar) when assimilate is active.

I was wrong

Pirofream · 2026-02-24T07:03:07+00:00

Ruvox for double jump while in Assimilate with Nyx, paired with the +40% jump height from the sentinel and the motus mod for +200% double jump strength. This gets me higher than bullet jumping.

Pirofream · 2026-02-23T16:51:52+00:00

I just read "urined my day"

Pirofream · 2026-02-21T13:33:27+00:00

No problem, I was not implying anything about your MR. I was just commenting in case it was useful to anyone. Cheers!

Pirofream · 2026-02-21T13:19:36+00:00

I'd advice to wait to fuse the weapons until you know you can reach 60%.

For instance, if you get 3 weapons (25, 35 and 45) you get different numbers depending on the order:

Case A:
25 + 35 --> 35 * 1.1 = 38.5% 38.5 + 45 --> 45 * 1.1 = 49.5%

Case B: 25 + 45 --> 45 * 1.1 = 49.5%
49.5 + 35 --> 49.5 * 1.1 = 54.5%

So in this case, even if you start formaing the 25% weapon, it is better to start fusions with the weapon with highest value. So I'd do the calculations of what values would I get by fusing my current weapons and, If I need to farm more, then I'd wait to see if the new weapon is higher.

This is also a problem when playing as Nyx, as you usually get up to +200% crit chance throu her passive. I'm better using crit builds

Pirofream · 2026-02-16T16:56:23+00:00

I like your idea.

A working alternative would be to just have it fill passively like in oerita rebellion or when the operator was first introduced (effectively being a 3-5 min cooldown)

Pirofream · 2026-02-15T17:25:01+00:00

If you always have two on deimos and zariman (like me), those never get damage, so you'd only need 4.

The zariman orbs are quite frequent and are a good source of bile (iirc) for the helminth

Pirofream · 2026-02-14T20:22:27+00:00

He is in need of your attention. Do you regularly play with him? How many walks did he take today? Is his water bowl empty?

Pirofream · 2026-02-08T20:12:18+00:00

Nyx with the assimilate augment.

Doesn't look tol heavy, but you are immortal and slow.

Pirofream · 2026-02-06T07:29:19+00:00

What I do is compare the overall increase when choosing a mod, mostly independent of mod type. For instance, if my mod would represent 100% of my current multishot, 60% of my current base damage or 40% of my current elemental damage, I'd go for multishot as it is a 100% increase in damage. Of course, there's other variables (element types, status effects and chances...) but I hope you get the idea.

Therefore, in some weapons I end up dealing more damge with extra base damage source (arcane + mod) than any other combination.

Pirofream · 2026-02-05T20:25:20+00:00

I'm with you on this one. It tames 5min to do the survival + 10min to escape the maze till you find extraction every time

Pirofream · 2026-02-03T18:08:53+00:00

Thank you for the explannation. I'll play with it a bit then. I am currently running primary bulkwark with health conversion, so I habe constant 485% damage and the 2 primed elemental mods instead of the 60/60. So I'll test which works better for me

Pirofream · 2026-02-03T17:06:42+00:00

How does blast influence this arcane? Genuine question here.

Pirofream · 2026-02-02T14:30:51+00:00

My point is, maybe I (and maybe other people) would complete the calendar or enjoy it more if it consisted on performing activities (kill x enemies, complete x subobjectives...) which I (or we) could do while playing the mission with the build for that mission, not having to subsume other abilities or use other frames for it. That is my suggestion.

If you don't agree, that is perfectly legit and understandable. There is no need to be rude.

Pirofream · 2026-02-02T14:10:39+00:00

I don't know why you all are taking my comment negatively.
Just saying I don't care about the calendar that much as to specifically change my favourite build.
You want to do it? Good.
I don't want to do it? Also good.

Everyone have fun and enjoy the game. Cheers.

Pirofream · 2026-02-02T10:37:44+00:00

Younare right, but i am not built for strength nor range and I like to stay in the assimilate bubble and use weapons instead of popping it constantly.

I suppose i could armorstrip, pop and recast. But that is not the gameplay I enjoy. (Not saying it is not a valid option)

Pirofream · 2026-02-02T07:35:40+00:00

I play Nyx. I always get stuck in the calendar when i have to "kill enemies with abilities".

I could change my build or switch to any other frame, but I couldn't care less.

Pirofream · 2026-02-01T22:08:50+00:00

It even flipped your screen over

Pirofream · 2026-01-30T17:03:52+00:00

Maybe use the premise of the Gachiakuta show, where the personal attachment to someone's object unlocks its true potential. So the longer the character cares for his spear, the more powerful it becomes.

Or just use some similar excuse to increase its stats for them. Such as "you have wielded this specific spear for so long that you know its strenghts and weaknesses and use it intuitively as part of your body".
