I read the guide, and it seems like I should try to support if I'm new?
How important is each equipment piece? I only have the old archon shards but not the new ones.
I'd really appreciate if anyone can tell me what specific combos I need to get started!

Saryn Prime - have & modded
Mirage Prime - have, unmodded
Wisp Prime - can get
Chroma Prime - have, unmodded
Octavia Prime - have, unmodded

Primary: Kuva Ogris
Primary: Afentis - have & modded
Secondary: Sporelacer - can get (this one is from fortuna, right?)
Secondary: Akarius
Melee: Praedos

Smeeta Kavat - have & modded
Large Squad Ammo Restore - have
Ancient Healer - have
Railjack Crew - have
Sentry Gun / Med Tower - don't know what either of these do, never used them

i’d start off with modding these three

#

you can use the 3:1 method and use chroma prime with kuva ogris to learn how to dps

#

Start off with chroma maybe if you wanna get started right away

#

Wisp might be little easier cuz Ogris costs a bit of forma

#

Or you can do 2:2 so you can use Afentis with chrome

#

He’s flexible

To clarify, if I'm on wisp and supporting, I use the afentis instead of ogris, correct?
I don't have the kuva ogris yet so I'm trying to avoid it if I can. I remember farming for tenet weaps and those felt very tedious

2:2 means that chroma will slot Afentis instead of Ogris

#

3:1 is 3 Ogris 1 Afentis

Also, Wisp and Chroma are the 'go to' for starters, due to that, if you want to find quicker parties, I'd suggest trying Saryn as well (Play Mirage after 1 or 2 Saryn games)

#

Dont worry about being the best in your early runs, worry about understanding how it works and looting at the end of the wave (your vitus will become dust in 2 waves max)

#

Sentry Gun/Med Tower are used for the DPS (Saryn, Mirage (Ogris)) to step on and have a better PoV

#

Med Tower is the most used option, go for it. (You need to have a Mantis Ship)

#

No need for Sporelacer if you have Akarius imho

#

Also, if you go for DPS, think about using an autoclick macro, It will make your shots less accurate but will save out on your actual hand lol
