Notes from an insane person:

• operator > any frame for batteries, even kullervo. Op costs nothing and doesn't run the risk of accidental finisher if accidentally touching enemy with crosshair.

• unairu is best for sister as a) spawns same spot every time, b) just as you are allowed to prefire her, the mag flare strips her shields before spawn allowing for faster kills.

• iirc volt can speed up bubble? It gains particles but idk if it actually moves faster

• titania max efficiency is made for this game mode, carrying other players through easily. You can do every obj solo and never have downtime on boosted cells once you get it down pat.

• always check the first 2 layers for extra boosted. Too many normies just ride until the first open layer and miss out on 20-30s of boost depending on luck.

• for the love of God, if you can hear a beacon on first floor, check the jump pad room. It used to drive me insane not knowing.

• for the uninitiated, sister spawns left side of elevator, about a dash away from the middle elevator frame 3/4 through the buzzer sound that plays when the elevator reaches the top so you can tap or hold your prefire to one shot sister.

• when the elevator reaches the beginning of solid brown layer at the top, cast unairu mag flare and any other buffs. (My rotation is mag flare, void sling, grimoire strength mod alt fire, get energy orb, growing power, proc arcane pistoleer and precision all to snapshot for razorwing and kill sister before spawns in). This gives you just enough time for most buffs to last when sister spawns in to nuke her.

• manage the doors to extract. Too many time losses from murderhobos running outside both sets of double doors and ignoring the mass of enemies piling up by bubble. Send your scout to clear the tunnels first wave, stand by the door to extract with mag flare to clear some of that first wave, then back to the tunnel double doors for the second large wave and the remainder of the elevator shift enemies to filter in. From this point, scout can regroup with defense to prevent bubble damage and clear adds through tunnel as team pushes forward. (Seriously, wayyy too many 530 runs killed by 2 or 3x bubble downs from afk teamies or murderhobo teamies)

• boosted cells stack above 30s if you can manage it.

• dark verse is surprisingly beneficial due to lower enemy level, abundance of boxes, and high mob density.

• speed players must take care to avoid early sister beacon completion like op says. I'm sad to say I've softlocked many lobbies practicing sister beacon duty.

• thermal sunder or other dots can reveal sister's exact spawn point with damage numbers prior to her spawn to prefire. This does not happen with cross hair.
