Best way to deal with grineer ships at high level?

[ZoSo]

I'm kinda sick of being bombarded by those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grineer ships in the plains while i'm just fishing, relaxed.

My euphona prime with 4 forma doesn't do much against them, i guess it's because of the lacking status chance and the distance.

What do you guys sugest to take them down at high level? Opticor?

[Siats]

I've been using a formaless max rank Opticore against level 25 Daryn fighters or whatever and that gets the job done in 2 - 3 shots. But those bombers take up a fourth of my ammo reserve to even put a dent into, it's insane.

I just fire the Ogris at them three or four times. That's usually enough to blow up a drop ship and it's occupants.

Opticor, or just ignore'em while using invis based frame.

I don't want to ignore them, i want to EXTERMINATE them. And i need a weapon capable of doing the job at level 60 bounties, fast a from a good distance.

From what I heard, Ogris and Opticor (tried it, very good at taking it out) does the job well. Sniper rifle ain't doing much, more so secondaries in that regard. Haven't tried Euphona though.

I tend to pepper it with corrosive akstilleto prime then shove a Tigris up its ass

In bounties 1-3 the Euphona will 1-2 shot the ships. Afterward the armor rating skyrockets and you need to use something different.

Exactly. At lower levels, pretty much anything with corrosive and puncture will destroy them, the problem comes at level 60 bounties.

It's even worse when you need to kill one at the end of a "clear enemies" event. Taking no damage, one shotting you, flying everywhere. It's ♥♥♥♥.

Could have sworn the hotfix yesterday said that flying enemies wouldn't be necessary for exterminate any more...

Akstiletto Prime with hybrid-crit status build shreds the ships within 2-3 secs max.

I'd say start with a high-status weapon modded for corrosive damage (Akstiletto Prime being an ideal choice) to strip its armor. Akstiletto might be powerful enough to finish it off with a second clip, or you could switch to a high-damage weapon modded for Radiation to finish the job.
