Warning to new players who are rushing meta
For those of you starting next week and slapping all your starchrom on 3p savior / 2p darkreso or treach sets. I see you.
Yes, its the meta. All of us use that set. Thats fine. Because we keep getting questions why your HP is stuck at 1. That is how the set works. It draws health and pushes your max cap down to basically 1 health, then relies on shields generated by hitting mobs to survive.
First, do not corner yourself into low capacity guns like sn700, even if its the meta for bosses. Use something that fires fast and has a high mag size. You want to live so you want something that can rapidly create shields.
Second, UNDERSTAND what are the prime killers of 1 hp players. At 1 hp you can literally get kill locked in a loop. Flying lantern head lady that shoot homing missiles, fat blubber boy that explodes on you. Some dungeons have toxic gas. Do NOT walk in there without a shield. You will be stuck because reviving only to drop 1 second later due to toxic gas is a you problem.
Cradle that gives 30% shield when drawing deviant out is absolutely important.
Quickly eat a sanity gummy when you get hit by electricity during low HP/sanity. Greater powert generator whim is no joke. Even today veterans with 2000 hours are getting kill locked because their ass blasts 2000 volts of pain the moment they revive and it drops them back down.
