Eidolon Hunting 101 by Sotiris https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting How to capture eidolons and what the frames do. en-us 2018-05-09 08:12:49 UTC 2025-10-06 14:12:15 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Playcontrol.png Focus school per frame alchameth https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259194214 Chroma : He is the one usually running Unairu. The reason for that is the node "Unairu Wisp" , doubling operator Amp Damage

Harrow/Volt/Trin : Madurai for the node "Void Strike" will allow your team to take down the shields fast as possible. ]]> 2018-05-09 08:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259194214 Harrow alchameth https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259194391 Harrow is utilized for his ability to block the magnetic wave after every limb break, and the Retaliation critical buff he provides. Your job is to provide covenant as soon as the Eidolons are about to cast their Magnetic Wave. 95-100% duration and max efficiency are needed. I prefer high strength as well, to maximize crit gain.

You need to grab lures required for capturing. Soon as your team is ready to head out, you want to grab 7 lures. 

Optimal Strategy : Help on first shield. Grab 2 lures and give them to chroma. Go back , take 5 lures, and wait on shrine.

Keep in mind, as trinity you have to teleport lures to shrine after Gantulyst and to gate after Hydrolyst.

 To do that as quick as possible, get on your Itzal archwing. Go to double or a single lure camp, use penumbra, shoot it, and blink next to it. Hack and use a cipher, and move on to the next lure.

You want to have enough ability strength to get 75% damage reduction. Get duration and energy efficiency as well.

 You want to use a self damaging weapon to get your buff, before the teralyst and while waiting for the shards on the shrine in the middle of the lake.

Keep in mind; It's your job as chroma to teleport the lure after teralyst capture.

His shields buff the Amp's Critical Damage, allowing you to get the shields down easier.
You want to have max efficiency and a lot of duration. Natural Talent recommended

On the final phase of the Eidolon, you must stack 6 shields 30 meters away in front of the Eidolon, so that your chroma benefits from added crit damage and electricity damage.

  • Rahn / Granmu / Shwaak / Raplak Prism
  • Shraksun Scaffold
  • Lohrin Brace

Virtuos Shadow for the amp arcane.

Regarding Operator Arcanes (if you own any), you want to use Magus Vigor as your highest priority, Magus Husk / Replenish / Elevate

    You are looking to strip armor as much as possible without removing it completely, for maximum damage bonus.
    The optimal setup is 3 Corrosive Projections with 2 Coaction Drifts, for a 99% armor strip.

This is the point where your Trinity has to be back with all the lures, and go inside the eidolon so that the lures absorb the vomvalysts instead. ]]> 2018-05-09 15:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259324893 Magnetic Waves alchameth https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259329108 After the limb is broken, there is a small charge-up of approximately 10 seconds, after which the Eidolon releases 5 magnetic waves. Harrow is tasked with providing protection, Chroma is tasked with providing wisps before and after the 5 waves, and volt has to position the shields in a desirable and approachable way (displayed on the volt section)]]> 2018-05-09 15:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259329108 Teralyst alchameth https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259331815 The first shield should be DPSed down using your granmu prism, an unairu wisp and the volt shield.]]> 2018-05-09 15:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259331815 Gantulyst & Hydrolyst alchameth https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259332086 Harrow and Volt DPS the first shield using wisp and shield, while Trinity moves a bit further to the back, to ensure the lures teleport]]> 2018-05-09 15:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259332086 Vomvalysts and spawns alchameth https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259340518 Vomvalyst usually spawns into groups of 2 or 3, and their spawns are scattered around the map in few locations, indicated here : https://goo.gl/R6wKtr
    They have a physical and ethereal form. Physical can be killed with amp or weapon and sends them into ethereal form. Ethereal form can be only killed with amp, dropping a core upon death that can add 1 charge to lure, or instantly be absorbed by 1 lure, adding 1 charge.

    A common strategy is to grab the Geyser Camp lure, and port it to the gate before everyone heading off. That prevents all the spawns from triggering at once.]]>     2018-05-09 15:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/259340518     Lure alchameth https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/260091578 Eidolon Lures are usually found in Grineer camp and they are necessary in capturing Eidolons. 
    Teralyst requires 2 charged lures, Gantulyst and Hydrolyst require 3 each.
    A lure can be fully charged by absorbing 3 vomvalysts each.

    Teleporting lures are now a mandatory part of Trinity / Chroma. 
    To teleport a lure, soon as you hear the DING sound from the capture shot, get on your archwing and quickly blink to the location you want the lures teleported and touch the ground. 
    (Example, chroma shoots teralyst, gets on archwing, quickly blinkds to shrine.)

    On the precharge run ,void strike users precharge for 10-15 minutes, and rotate between spending charges (volt>trinity>harrow) 
    On the normal runs, all void strike users shoot all limbs, per eidolon, and dump charges and recharge on the healing phase]]>     2018-05-15 21:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/alchameth/EidolonHunting/wish/261018894
