Weapons
We identified one rocket launcher that outperforms even Exotics in terms of damage.
The current meta combination is:
Dvergar Drill + Four-Horned Ram
Dvergar Drill
An excellent single-shot Exotic for Ikora. Upon colliding with an enemy or surface, it splits into multiple separate projectiles.
It deals excellent damage and is very effective at breaking Spread Shinka.
Four-Horned Ram
The combination of Vorpal Weapon + Cluster Bomb makes this weapon’s damage absolutely insane.
Vorpal Weapon increases damage against bosses and elites.
Cluster Bomb releases 8 additional projectiles after the main explosion, increasing both single-target and AoE damage.
Alternatives:
Bellowing Giant with Fraternity and Polyploidy
or **Present Fleet with Fraternity and Polyploidy + Truth **(though personally, I didn’t like this Exotic at all)
Artifacts
If you own Maru, you’re in luck! After dozens of hours of testing, we found that Ikora uses exactly the same artifacts as Maru. The new artifacts are less consistent and don’t provide comparable damage.
Additionally, the micro black holes are classified as Summons, which allows us to use Rampaging Pact.
Defensive Artifacts
Undaunted Blazar
(Shield, Overshield, Defense, Barrier/Ranged)
— Grants 25% damage resistance when gaining Overshield.
Siphoning Blazar
(Shield, Overshield, Defense, Barrier/Ranged)
— Increases the amount of Overshield gained from AoE damage if you already have Overshield.
Offensive Artifacts
Rampaging Pact
(Weapon, Ability, Void, Signature/Super)
— +33% damage after casting the shield (effectively permanent).
Bellicose Blazar
(Weapon, Ability, Void, Signature/Super)
— +25% AoE damage, and AoE damage also increases movement speed.
Alternative:
Explosive Shell
(Weapon, Ability, Void, Signature)
— +48% Blast damage and +48% Blast radius on direct hits.
