MR 28 test is BS.

[CrazyJoe]

The time on the canisters is to freaking short. I have been trying to do this test for the last year +. I have tried watching other players youtube videos on this test. I have tried every build and all that to no avail. I guess I will never get to MR 30.

It's a mastery test. This means you may have to use a different frame from what you're comfortable with to get good results. I personally don't remember what I used, but I do remember having to practice for a while before going for realzies. It's not that bad I think if you get the right playstyle down.

What is key is to gather a large group of enemies before throwing the canister. If you cannot hit enough then you're going to take too long and will fail. Plenty of frames can help you do this. First wait for the spawns. Lure them together and then use a skill to pull them closer together, throw the canister and kill them quickly. It'll take some practice, just take your time. It's fine if you fail a practice run. That's what they are there for.

Rhino, Loki and Excalibur are not good frames for this, although it's probably possible to use them and succeed. I would suggest using another frame.

If the catch of this test is rounding up enemies to then "throw the (killing) canisters" then I'd probably suggest you trying to use Mag's Pull (her 1st skill) to clump those together and or Khora's 4th skill to cage'em together inside it and also with the help of Venari and her 1st Whiplash skill.

Those 2 are the initial ones that come to mind, although I recall that Octavia had a luring ball skill amongst her natural skill set, which can also help you gathering those around for the Cannisters, but truth to be honest I never was much of an Octavia player because it seemed too brainless to use for my particular tastes (even if despite being quite effective on many sorts of missions).

i HATED that test.
it was so buggy for me. if i use any ability while carrying the cannister, it simply disappear.
if i pick the cannister with operator, it disappear.
if i throw the cannister in Vauban Vortex or Mag Bubble, it phases through it & disappear.

i ended up using Rhino Prime to finish it. just spawn, cast Iron Skin, use operator to travel to cannister, switch to frame & pick it up, jump in the middle of enemies & wait, throw cannister at 4 or 3 second (cause it will despawn when time runs out even if it already mid air) & kill till next cannister spawn & repeat.

i used Ignis W, Nukor & Nikana. also make sure to pop up some ammo Restore.
did 2 test run before trying it to get used to it and it worked.

Mastery Rank tests are meant to be cheesed and I am not ashamed to cheese MR 30 Test using Lavos...

MR30 test is just a dps test. So not very hard. Or shouldn't be hard at that point.

And I did that effortlessly using Lavos.

I think the phase through floor is a random bug. I've had it happen too on a trial run without those abilities active.

never thought of using Lavos myself, but I think anything will work here if you know what you're doing and are appropriately equipped.

Most of them I have already tried. What it comes down to is the short time limit on the canisters. they expire too fast.

If you have been using the training mode and running this test more than one time a day, and have tried everything (including using video guides, numerous frames including Vauban/Nidus/Octavia/anything with AoEs, numerous weapons), and still have not made progress, I would almost argue "what's the point of beating it?"

Maybe try adjusting your DPI/adjusting your camera speed or something as it sounds possible that you maybe are not locking into targets and killing them fast enough? I am atrocious at FPS games as I usually take a little longer to lock in, so I just started setting my DPI a little higher to close the gap. Otherwise, just like when that doesn't help me at Halo or Quake, skill issue is really the only other thing I can think of unfortunately.

i just got hung up on this test for 4-5 days. first i was trying wisp, and using motes + airborne invisibility to work it. i managed to pass the test one time on practice, but failed the actual run.

then i watched a video where a wukong seemed to do it effortlessly. i spent 3 days practicing, then attempting a real run when i pass a practice.

i passed by using celestial twin, i used melee so the twin was forced to use a radiation element gun. starting to move befor the next canister appears seems critical, and wukong's cloud form speeds up getting to the canisters.

i ended up completing the test just before the last canister became active.

This took me a few times as well, one of the only few I had to actually practice.

The first couple times I did it, I kept picking up the canisters to quick. During the start you should just basically be kiting the enemies trying to build them up. If you do the initial build up, and keep kiting and maximizing the time between canisters, its doable. Pretty sure I just used octavia and ignis wraith. So I could kill them quickly once they were marked.
