Effigy Chroma Build (Credit Farming) Help

[Gomaboo]

I want to farm some credits and I always see people saying they want an effigy Chroma. However, I'm just a little confused on how to build it so I was wondering if anyone could help.

Don't. Farming credits with Secura Lecta is dead. If you want credits fast you can either go to the Index and do low endurance or do quick runs in Hieracon and neither of those require specific setups.

Where is the Index?

I'm not sure right now since I'm in a mission and can't check but you should unlock it by doing the Glast Gambit quest. It'll give you an idea of what it is. Basically, as long as you can do raids easily you will have no problems doing Low Endurance Index (especially with a party since ally IA is retarded.)

These guys have insane health, I can't even kill them.

You probably need better equipment then and might as well stick to using the nerfed Secura Lecta, in which case, I can't really help you, sorry. I'd recommend you to run Hieracon if you have a defensive frame such as Frost and extract after the first excavator, in 3~ minutes you'll gain 25k credits + whatever the extractor yields.

I'm using an Akstiletto Prime modded with 95% status and corrosive and a Chroma with 700%+ scorn.

They still take no damage lol. Should I mod my Akstiletto for viral?

Or am I able to throw sand on them and stab them with Inaros?

That could work. I had no problems killing them with my Tigris Prime.

Well duh lol.

Maybe I could do magnetic and toxin?

[Aria]

Give it a try.

Nope, even with viral it takes two clips to down just one of them if I make every shot and get headshots.

This is ridiculous. I don't even see how a Tigris Prime would blow this out the water.

I'm not losing but I'm not profiting.

Thats not necasarily true. Effigy Chroma still works just fine. The "meta" way is not the only way. Plenty of people still run Akkad, its the most popular xp farm. Plenty of people run it to wave 20 all the time. You dont have to get a million credits in 5 waves for something to be viable. It was nerfed for a reason. I take my effigy chroma to akkad post nerf all the time when leveling weapons and net at least 28k credits in loot per run, with the gaurenteed 25k from the mission rewards, thats 50k right there.

Focus on stregth, and efficency/duration. Kills by effigy generate the extra credits, hence the high stregth requirment. Align with Ice, as that is the highest dps element. This isnt the ideal build, but i had to work with the polarities i had from my ice tank build. On a full charge with pads at the beginning, i can get thru the first 5 waves before needing more energy. By then i have Zenurik, and i just rechrarge inbetween waves.

This would be great paired with Peacefull provocation equinox, nova and nekros.

My Index weapon is a Vahkor Hek modded for Magnetic/heat. It served me well during the event . Havent really dont the new index, Ive tried the endurance and it just wasnt worth it to me.
Also tried an Ice/Gas Sancti Tigris that did well.

Akkad+Lecta is not dead. I would still choose it over index, even though I can successfuly run high risk endurance solo. Akkad still faster, less risky and much easier for the same amount of money, credit booster makes akkad even better. Moreover it is much popular, so finding a team takes a second.

For chroma effigy you have to cut the energy strength (overextended), and increase the efficiency to maximum (maxed fleeting expertise and streamline), thats it.

For secura lecta build - go for corrosive, reach, maiming strike (bloodrush+drifting contact+body count if you dont have maiming strike), organ shatter and berserker.

The best team for akkad is - chroma+speed nova+trinity ev+nidus. Yes, nidus is important, his larva will gather all mobs in front of effigy, that will grant addition credit drop from all the enemies. Many people dont know that, that is why akkad sucks for them. Just keep in mind that effigy has a 10m radius of additional credit drops, so you have to kill in 10m radius around it and nidus helps a lot. That is why you really want to gather as many mobs around effigy as possible!

When it comes to index - use naramon passives+crit melee (telos boltace+maiming+radiation or corrosive) for solo runs. A squad for successful index requires trinity ev, slow nova, buff and dps. But I would still stick with melee and naramon, since invisibily helps a lot! Also in contrast with akkad, where credit booster is more than important, it does nothing in index.

Good luck farming credits!

No you actually don't want chroma effigy to be killing. The secure lecta should be landing killing blows. The effigy is used for its credit boosting aura. So go high range efficiency build for chroma.

Range does nothing for effigy, aura has 10m radius that is unchangable. We use overextended not to increase the range of it, but to cut down the power strength in the first place.
