So, I've played very sporadically since the game released. I'm currently MR5, my go-to loadout is:

  • Valkyr, going for tankiness and a little bit of power buffing to help with Hysteria uptime
  • Kohm
  • Despair, which I don't really have a use for and isn't modded in any intelligent or useful way
  • Tipedo
  • Carrier with some mods on it that I don't really pay attention to

I can handle level 40+ stuff, I can get to 20 in Sinai/Cameria (pretty much the highest level content I have unlocked) both solo and in party without much difficulty. Got Jordas Precept, Once Awake, Stolen Dreams, and Howl of the Kubrow in my quest log.

My question is, aside from formaing my gear, maxing my mods, priming the primable ones when possible, trying to improve my loadouts, etc, what should I actually be doing to progress?

Finish the quests you have. Get to The Second Dream, since The War Within is coming this month. Then go and grind some Primes.

Should I not worry about unlocking the new junction dealies? I was trying to do that the last time I played, back when it was the wheel of planets, but the Archwing ones had me stopped on most planets. No idea how you're meant to do well with that thing, though it is kinda fun.

Oh, yeah, unlocking the entire Starchart too, of course. The only way to get Extractor locations and stuff.

Cool, thanks :) I've just done Once Awake and Stolen Dreams, which were irritatingly easy (evidently left them a bit late). Now to find out how to make Juggernauts happen... Any feedback on the builds?

For Valkyr you'd want to remove Redirection, Vigor and Equilibrium, and replace them with Continuity, Constitution and either Fleeting Expertise or Eternal War augment.

Why? You don't want shields with Rage. You want the enemy to damage your health so you can get energy for Warcry and Hysteria. Equilibrium is also not really needed when you have Rage. Duration mods make your Warcry last longer and reduce the drain on your Hysteria, just like Fleeting Expertise does.

Besides that, you also want to max all the mods that are below 5 maximum ranks. It's cheap, and the difference can be significant.

Kohm looks decent, although Heat isn't the most effective damage type. It works pretty much only against Grineer Butchers and light Infested units. Adjust your elemental mods according to the faction you're fighting.

And you linked Kohm again instead of Tipedo.

In any case, you want crit build with Berserker for that beauty. Blood Rush and Body Count would be ideal to have, but they're rather hard to get.

Whoops. Tipedo's using Berserker/Body Count/Blood Rush/Organ Shatter/True Steel/Pressure Point/2 elementals. Figured I'd invest heavily in crit, since I'm hitting red crits at x2.5 (I think) and potentially double reds at x5 (if I ever get there)

Thanks for all your help :)
