Additional sombat strategies
Equip Incendiary weapons before entering—Golden God’s ricochet or Onslaught’s stacking buffs shine here.
For Gravitar, use Bio Robot to amplify singularities; Sirens benefit from Technomancer’s elemental melee. Dodge environmental hazards like red webs, which deal DOT damage.
In co-op, designate a rod-grappler to streamline phases. If underleveled (below 15), practice on normal mode first. Recent player tips highlight using underbarrel grenades for add control and pairing Dancer with Exo Soldier for hit-and-run tactics.
