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.

    I’m not. The Corufell’s heavy fires a projectile that pierces all the Tanks parts and hits it multiple times per shot. Pops weak points along the wide projectile’s path and does a decent amount of damage per shot, spread between the several hits, even without weak points.

    Spamming Heavy Attacks with the Corufell almost brings back the good memories of the OG Opticore from many updates ago.

      Here’s the build I’m using presently as my default for corufell, galv might not be the best seeing as you need a few kills but there’s enough adds in the fight it’s probably fine

        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.
