""The art of being useful," since when is it useful to kill an enemy that your teammate is about to kill, instead of engaging about the other enemies?"

- No such enemies usually remain.

"Warframe is not the killcount version of Hungry Hungry Hippos."

- Yes, it's merely about killing all the enemies fast. At higher levels killing enemies becomes slower. Kill speed is heavily reliant on pure DPS. Killing enemies fast(er than your allies) and doing other activities like CC, while also not dying means that you're being super useful, that's all there is to it.

""Please be more considerate of others in the future."  Maybe it's time to take your own advice."

- I provide people information I put some thoughts into, unlike the major part of the community that brainlessly follow the main horde. Iunno, but I think that I'm helping whoever's reading my posts anyway.

"OP, what's your build for the Lanka (aka Danka)? I want to be your apostle and spread the gospel around. "

Ah. Lanka builds may vary depending on the Situation at hand, but I believe that there are only two builds worth mentioning.

1. Serration, Heavy Caliber, Split Chamber, Firerate Mod (Vile Acceleration or Speed Trigger, you choose), Obligatory Point Strike + Vital Sense, 2 elemental mods. This is the build that is more consistent with its DPS, and doesn't suffer as much from enemy resistances as the next build. Best with 4CP if you build Viral.

2. Serration, Heavy Caliber, Split Chamber, Firerate Mod (Vile Acceleration or Speed Trigger), Obligatory Point Strike + Vital Sense, 1 elemental mod, Bladed Rounds. This is a redcrit-focused build that hits like a truck if it procs. It features less versatility as your choice of elemental combos is cut in half, and you also lose the relatively Neutral portion of base Electric damage. You can't get Viral damage with it, so it's worse than the previous build w/ 4CP.

Basic Lanka tips: 1. Shots that aren't fully charged deal a bit less than a third of full damage, which is still enough to wipe out fodder enemies. Be sure to utilize them. 2. Aim for the head at all times, if possible. It's a crit weapon after all. 3. Choose your elemental combos wisely, running a pure-Corrosive build 24/7 may get you in trouble when dealing with Shielded enemies, etc.

That's basically it. Ciao, hope I helped.
