Finalizing my Master League Hangar: HMGs, Blast Shotguns, and Inventory Swaps?
With the new Lumen and Vulcan meta taking over, I am trying to figure out some smart counters without spending to chase the new gear. The recent rebalance completely destroyed my Hippo/Kroko plans, so most of my weapons are sitting at mid-MK1.
First, I am looking at my Anaksor. Has anyone had success running Smuta/Razdor to counter Vulcan? Since Lumens bend around corners but still need a soft lock, I am thinking I can hide behind tall cover and safely arc HMGs over the top, preventing the Vulcan from getting the damage it needs to evolve.
Second, for brawling, I'd prefer a Vector build that works in both PvP and Extermination mode. (Note: I already run a Flame Vector which is likely facing a nerf soon, so I definitely do not want to build a second one!) I currently have Shatter/Splinter, but I am thinking about pivoting to Mace/Cudgel for that localized AoE blast effect against spiders. Is that the smarter move?
Finally, my Ammit is dying way too fast after the Defensive Absorber nerf. I am considering benching it and digging into my inventory. I have an MK2 Ravana (thinking Transcendence can wipe off the Lumen Thermal Breach stacks) and a Pathfinder (heard Track is amazing for focusing HVTs).
What is everyone doing with Ammit these days, and which of those inventory options should I slot in? Also sitting on Typhon, Fenrir, Shenlou, Lynx, and Curie with their legendary pilots if those are better!
