Increase Effigy passive range?

[Jodyxe]

Hi all. People in game keep saying that Effigy of Chroma has a passive ability of credit multiplier. I was always thinking it works for a credit drop from kills that Effigy makes only. Anyway, if that is true is it possible to increase the range of that passive ability somehow? Like would "stretch" mod work for that?

Enemies KILLED by Effigy have a 60% chance to yield 100% additional credits and chance isn't affected by mods.

A bit of description:

On latest credit farms that occur on Akkad, people are now playing 40 waves with Nekros+Chroma+Speed Nova+Trinity EV/Volt+Secura Lecta, and they keep saying "stay close to the effigy to get more credits". That I can not understand, since quite majority of kills are done by melee weapon Secura Lecta, but they keep Effigy around as if it increases chances of additional drop...from Lecta? And they keep saying it has passive ability of credits drop? Am I missing something?

Havent played the game for some time so I do not quite get some new things. But I did play Chroma a lot previously so I am totally confused now - either people are wrong about what they are saying, or there are actually a new thing as "Effigy passive credit drop multiplier"...

Effigy must KILL before you have a chance to get +100% more credits.

All you need is a squad full of secura lecta, nekros and NO SPEED NOVA, it actually hurts the credit gain.

Secura lecta was buffed/changed which is why people keep assuming that effigy has a passive that applies to non-effigy kills.. You need to have it equipped to get the bonus credit buff.

how does speed effect lector?

The ability SAYS it's based on kills done by the effigy, but... this is warframe. If the sorts of people who try to meticulously figure out and test the best way of power farming things think it's actually an aura, I'm genuinely more willing to believe them than I am the game's in-game description of the skill.

edit: As far as the supposed aura goes, current claims seem to be that it doubles credit pickups within 10m of the effigy, unaffected by range mods. Person who put it up on the wiki claimed it was tested with the Secura Lecta in the simulacrum. I suppose it would be easy enough to try making the same investigation to anyone who owns both.

Effigy passive IS an aura-type thing. Effigy no longer has to kill for it to proc; at least on PC it doesn't. I'm not sure if it is affected by range mods though. Found this thread looking for that info.
