Granum Void farm inconsistency?

[A1 Steaksauce]

So i'm trying to get Protea parts and have so far only gotten the Chassis (from the Exemplar Coin if i'm not mistaken) but i've been having a lot of inconsistency with being able to even accomplish it. I've been using my Octavia Prime and have been able to get over 75 specter kills no problem for the most part, while other times I barely make it halfway. Is there a key to this that I am missing? Like is there a prime place to stand for them all to come to you? Even then, sometimes they just don't die or even take damage like they should be while they are in my music circle, meanwhile the very short timer is already counting down. This is getting a little frustrating...

How much range, str and duration do you have on your build?

[Mr. Smiles]

Frame is irrelivant, Xoris is all you need. Throw, detonate, profit. EZ 70 kills with no effort. Just run around and grab the heaps of time tokens if for some reason the timer ever gets low.

154% duration and 130% strength. I want to get Transient Fortitude for more str, though. Probably would help a lot.

grab the yellow triangles they drop to extend the time
switch to mesa, or use xoris, or spawn your on call crew theyre effective too sometime kill over 80

Are you running Augar Reach, Stretch and Over Extended? The reason why I ask is that with her 4, the range on her mallet will be insane. Let the mallet kill while you pick up time pyramids.

No, the only other ones i have are Stretch and Cunning Drift at the moment. That's what i've been doing for the most part, it's just that the specters don't come fast enough and don't drop enough time extenders for any of it to seem to matter some of the time. I'll have absolutely no trouble getting over 75 kills in one run on a Solo, and then the next I can only seem to get 50-60 and there's nothing different that i'm doing. That's why i'm wondering if maybe it really does count WHERE you choose to be when you start the Granum Void, because I know the spawns/pathing for the AI can be either totally in your favor at times, or not at all

Yeah it's kinda weird, I had it the same with Atlas. Sometimes I get 75 no problem and other times I can barely reach 40.

It's because sometimes I get lots of time bonus drops and sometimes they just don't exist. I don't know if it's pure RNG or is there a system behind it.

I find the spectres get stuck behind rocks and whatnot pretty often. I can get the 75 kills like 99% of the time but there are those times where I'll run around the map just...nothing..maybe 1-2 of them and that's it.

I wonder if we are just not meant to succeed 100% of the time, then? But then again I also see people saying, "Just use the Xoris it's that easy you'll win every time." and i've tried that and I do even worse.

Trying to do the Zenith run for Liches, reaching the max rank is impossible, while doing it with a friend just makes it easy. We farmed Protea with a Mirage + Volt combo, we reached the kill count with a lot of time left. Mirage's 4 is very efficient at clearing the area.

Use the Xoris. All you have to do is charge throw, detonate, and repeat. If time is a issue, look out for yellow shards dropped by some of the Void Specters, they should increase time. I used Oberon for his healing for all the Void variants and got max rank for them.

Sometimes there just aren't enough shards. Other times i'll find them all over the place. I don't know what gives. I also find the Xoris to be too slow compared to good AOE abilities like Mallet that can just kill in an area as soon as they enter it, or at least it's supposed to in theory...

Are you running mods such as Killing Blow and Amalgam Organ Shatter? They help alot with charge windup speed.

Nope and i'm not even close to a point where I have all these end game God-tier mods that people keep mentioning. Octavia Prime is my first Prime frame that I unlocked by luck, so the Xoris isn't really viable and even if I had those, i'm not sure how it would make a difference unless i'm picking up enough time shards, which, again, sometimes there just aren't enough, and I am wondering if it's pure RNG and the specters just don't spawn fast enough and don't drop them when they die on certain runs.

As much as the wind-up speed mods help a lot with comfort, I'd actually advocate the Volatile mods (Volatile Rebound, Volatile Quick Return), because they seem to help catch more specters in the blast per detonation. The only problem is those mods are sold by Baro, so it's up in the air whether or not he'll have them next time he shows up

Apart from that, make sure to be freeing the slaves, because they each give you a ton of time
