Dunno about the others.
3, 4 - Color doesn't matter.
5, 6 - It needs to be killed within the aura.
I have never used Chroma for credit farming though so if I said something wrong someone else can correct me.
Quick look at the wiki indicates that I might be wrong about 5 or 6 but I can't say for sure. Btw doing index gives you credits way faster than farming regular missions. This is one thing I'm sure of.
But for your direct questions: Since the popular strategy was based on a different weapon getting the kills, I'm pretty sure enemies just need to be in the "aura" of the effigy for the credit boost to count, and it's not based on energy color at all.
We got my first replier who informed us on every use effigy has EXCEPT the credit farming - the topic of this post.
Then we got number 2 with some seemingly solid advice except he/she has never credit farmed with Chroma. Still, half points for that.
Number 3 miraculously stays on topic. Cheers bud!
Then we get number 4, taking offense because number 1 said effigy's damage suks and he/she doesn't agree with that.
And finally (hopefully) we have number 5 - the amazing Nihilus - who is trying to turn everything into one big idiotic joke about contradictional replies - and horribly fails at being funny in even the slightest of ways.
on points 3 and 4 i need to explain a bit so here's how this works:
red energy=heat damage witch is very good vs infested,infested also have next to 0 armor so they don't realy get all that tanky compared to say a grennier hence why people said red energy works u can still credit farm at lower levels with any color but for longer and higher level runs heat and vs infested is necesary(also infested have higher nr of units in a mision so higher credits chance to drop)
on point 5 and 6 i'm 100% sure the effigy needs to be the one geting the kills to get the bonus credits unless something changed very recently
lastly i do have to recomand index as it's simply a better way to farm credits but otherwise i hope this helped
Im not taking offense, I was clearing something up... you asked about/for that.
(also if you really want to credit farm, skip Chroma and just do index tbh)
Plus to be really effective, you need to bring an hydroid with you, and I actually don't know someone who farm credit in missions other than into the index.
I used to credit farm on Eris some times ago with an hydroid, chroma, secura lecta and nekros.
Then the index got "buffed" and everyone is doing it right now, seriously, it's a lot faster.
Yeah. Op or not.
:)
Do Index. 2 runs of Silver.
It does and will absolutely smoke any other Credit farming methodology.
The cut-and-dried version is, who cares how the Effigy farm works or if it does.
Oh and ennemies need to die inside the effigy's aura in order for the credit boost to apply, it was confirmed by rebecca 1 year ago.
Plus the aura range is a static 10 meter (can't be increased by mods), have fun o/
Effigy need to kill the ennemies.
After that, you'll make 60-80K credits with a credit booster applied every ~4 minutes on Akkad.
While others with credit boosters can go up to 240K credits every ~6 minutes in the medium index.
I'll let you do the math.
Use effigy for CC and a little extra damage. Forget about credit farming with it.
You want credits? Go to the index.
