Baro Ki'Teer: 23/04/2021

 

A few useful mods from Baro this time around, but nothing new of particular note.

New Items

• Xaku/Deimos Kymaeros Prex - Decorations. Previously available from the Deimos Twitch campaign.
  

Rankings

Must Buy

• Primed Target Cracker - +110% Crit Damage for Secondaries. Mandatory for all Crit Secondaries, giving them a significant damage boost.
  
• Primed Ravage - +110% Crit Damage for Shotguns. Crit Shotguns are not in the best spot as the Shotgun Crit mods are the overall worst. Nonetheless, Primed Ravage is a huge damage bonus for any Crit Shotguns you may have.
  

Good

• Prisma Dual Cleavers - MR9 Dual Sword Melee. One of many good Dual Swords with a very strong stat spread, but notably has quite short range.
  
• Mara Detron - MR9 Shotgun Secondary. Quite a capable Status spreader, notably with innate Radiation damage, but is a far cry from what it used to be, and faces immense competition notably from the Kuva Nukor.
  

Niche

• Split Flights - On hit, grants +100% Multishot/-180% Accuracy for 2 seconds, stacking up to 4 times. Cannot be equipped on Crossbows or explosive bows. Cannot be equipped alongside Split Chamber. The -Accuracy is usually a killer for the otherwise very precse bows, but it is extremely powerful on two specific weapons - Cernos Prime and Mutalist Cernos. Cernos Prime fires multiple arrows in a spread so the Multishot bonus is even more pronounced and the accuracy penalty is less of an issue. Despite being an AoE bow, the Mutalist Cernos can equip it, and can keep constant up-time with its lingering toxin clouds.
  
• 3 Day Credit Booster - notably useful this weekend as it stacks with the double credit bonus as part of the Anniversary event.
• Zanuka Hunter Beacon - Gear item to lure out Zanuka Hunter. Useful if you want to farm its drops, but does not offer anything outside of the standard random encounters.
  
• Combo Killer - +5 sec Combo Duration. On secondary kill, Melee combo timer is reset. Not very useful, as if you're serious about Melee, you run Naramon focus with the Power Spike node, making combo upkeep a non-issue. Additionally, it only works on Thrown Melee which currently prefers heavy attack spam anyway.
  
• Sands of Inaros - Quest for Inaros. Always in Baro's stock.
  
• Baro Void Signal - Key to exclusive mission line. Requires Inaros Prime to purchase and play. Offers exclusive cosmetics and decoration.
  

Do Not Buy

• Scattering Inferno - 60/60 Heat mod for Shotguns. Can be farmed from Spy missions, or bought for fairly cheap from other players.
