What is the best rotation? After super, I'm doing 1 rocket, 1 honed edge, energy weapon damage, and then 2 more rockets with reconstruction. After that, what is the next best move

Unfortunately there’s no one true “best” rotation ordering since it heavily depends on whether you’re weaving Starfire/verity’s fusion nades, tripmines, are using radiant dance machines, have a lunafaction well, etc

#

some things I can probably recommend though:

  • people usually reload their honed edge shot immediately after shooting Izi, seems to be optimal
  • go Izi -> energy wep (sniper or slug) -> 2x rockets instead of 1x first
#

If the first rocket you shoot triggers BNS, it gets the damage buff even though you didn’t have Bait and Switch when you fired it (and even if the damage number/wipe screen doesn’t reflect it)

ahhh thank you! I thought you had to start with a rocket, should be alot smoother now

Getting the timing down with enhanced recon, your Izi shot, and 1-2 slug shots or 3-4 sniper shots will mostly take practice, since it depends on your handling and stuff

#

for further parts of the rotation

#

I’m pretty sure it’s not gonna be 100% the same cycle every time, just due to the recon timing

#

Sometimes it’s higher DPS to squeeze in a manual reload, and then the second proc of reconstruction happens during the rocket firing delay

#

you might be able to practice your rotations in the enclave with a lunafaction well and weapon handling mods

#

since the range behind the enclave gives infinite ammo (don’t remember if it gives infinite super as well)

#

a private crucible match with infinite ammo/super might also be good

yea I can usually time it decently but a bit of practice will deff help. Typically I have been reloading my izi after my 2 rockets which almost guarantees enough time for 2 rockets to reload but ill play around with it

I believe the reason people reload Izi right after shooting is because you can cancel the long end lag of the reload animation by swapping weapons

go on aegis youtube channel he has a video ranking every single dmg method and explaining how to use them

Yes it’s a great video series, but to be fair he doesn’t get deep into execution or how to map out your rotations, since they’re very encounter/weapon/team/armor/build/role specific
