So, I just decided to try fighting the tank again after my last post about it. Tried to make use of all the advice I’d gotten to see if it’d be any less frustrating.
Took the Phenmor as my primary, brought Jade for flight, made a new preset on my Corufell as a fallback, and… forgot about Primary Sure-Footed. The Phenmor was OK for breaking the weak points but not great. Maybe the Felarx or Corinth Prime would’ve been better.
I tried jumping more and even riding the tank. It kind of worked but I still didn’t like it. I think subsequent times I’ll just default to cheese weapons like the Corufell. On that note does anyone have suggestions for improving my heavy-attack spam build? I’m only ever going to use it against the tank, already I’m doubting Life Strike’s usefulness here.
A maxed rank Corrupt Charge might be better here, with Galvanized Reflex, it’s enough initial combo to hit 8x. Still some diminishing returns going from 7x to 8x, but you aren’t really bothering with combo duration anyways so it’s free damage.
*only true if you’re using a weapon with an initial combo gimmick
I think I didn’t max it because it wasn’t enough to get me to the next multiplier
Looks like it was down to the weapon being tested, I used the Sancti Magistar incarnon and wasn’t aware that it had some initial combo once it’s in the incarnon form which pushes it just over the point needed for 8x combo when using a fully ranked corrupt charge + Galvanized Reflex. With the Corufell, you’re right that all you need is a rank 2 Corrupt charge, and that a rank 3 mod won’t make a difference.
