The weapon changes allows the Supra weapons to staggerlock enemies if you mod them with Heat damage. The Supra Vandal used in this video did not have a riven equipped.
(pretend there’s a 4th forma there and power drift in the Exilus slot since that’s what I’m planning to do for it just for a smidge more power strength)
Range is useless in fighting Eidolons since you can’t use thurible or condemn to chain enemies or get energy. And Covenant goes by affinity range by default anyway.
When timed right when an eidolon unleshes it’s proc wave upon a limb being destroyed, covenant will last long enough for you to get his shields back to and wail on his limbs again.
I pair my Harrow with a euphona prime built for crit and use mainly that for the fight.
It’s been pretty effective thus far in the hunts I’ve used it in. Though I hope to try it out with a chroma on my team with the updated vex armor. I’m curious to see what kind of damage numbers the covenent crit multipliers and the furybuff together will yield.
Since it’s Black History Month, I’m making sure you folks know about Mike Pondsmith.
Mike designed, amongst other things, Cyberpunk 2020 and its wonderful spin-off Cybergeneration. He designed the critically-acclaimed Castle Falkenstein. A black man kicked off interest in two incredibly white-dominated genres in a white-dominated hobby is a remarkable achievement.
Which is why it bugs me that I didn’t know he was black until a couple of years ago. I figure the least I can do is make sure other folks know too.
I’m actually kinda angry at the collective hobby for never communicating this to me before now. I recognized his name and of course immediately recognized the games he’s designed — Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0 and Castle Falkenstein are profoundly important and influential works. I don’t think there was much at all in the way of steampunk in the TTRPG world prior to the latter’s introduction (and after it came out I remember arguments over whether or not it “counted” as steampunk).
Mekton 2 was the first time i remember seeing a black dude on a RPG cover
If anything, the OP’s description is underselling Mike Pondsmith’s influence.
The guy is single-handedly responsible for creating enormous chunks of the tabletop roleplaying hobby: from Mekton, the first giant robot RPG; to the Urusei Yatsura-inspired Teenagers from Outer Space, the first anime style slice-of-life RPG; tothe above-cited Cyberpunk, the first cyberpunk RPG; and even to Castle Falkenstein,
which is often labeled a steampunk RPG, but is more properly considered as one of the foundational works of the then-nascent gaslamp fantasy genre.
In a just world, the name Pondsmith would be spoken in the same breath as Gygax and Arneson – he’s Kind of a Big Deal!
