STF solution for assimulation problem

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
After much testing with my fleetmates in TDF I have found something that should help everyone when running Infected, The Cure, and KA. After many run as a science officer I was mystified why I never had to heal our engineers much. I continually questioned them what they were wearing or doing that kept them from dying when being assimulated. They had no idea what I was talking about and after 2 stacked assimulations were placed on me it hit me the common thread was the medical generator. No heals needed if the science officer heals are on cooldown and everyones hypos are still counting down have your teammates run for the nearest medical generator. This slows assimulation to almost none no matter how many times they are stacked. You can still fight and wait for the science officer to heal you with no worry as long as that generator stays up. Just a FYI for anyone that didnt already know. Medical generators are your best friends.

    Thanks for info.

    I'd like to know if there is anything that counteracts the Neuro-suppresant hold that those medical drones place on you.

    I havent found a solution to that one yet but I am still working on it. My next run I will be using the physician kit to see if it has any luck removing that debuff. If anyone else in the community has any information it would be welcomed and help cut down testing time.

    ^ Far as I know, nothing counters the Borg Neural Suppressent. I admit I haven't tested the Mental Hypos yet, but no Scientist in their right mind is going to carry the Hypo Kit during an STF.



    With Countering Assimilation, I've been advocating Cryptic give this ever since the STFs were introduced, after all that is what the first two STFs were about - a cure for assimilation. ;)

    (If you ask me, it would've been a perfect reward at the end of Infected to get a device that does that and not the Borg Space Set.)


    Another route Cryptic could take is Admirals above RA5 that completed Infected, unlocking some new crafting, which you can build a personal device. Or perhaps special hypos that counters Borg Nanoprobes (assimilation).

    For Medics, replace Nanoprobes with a Counter Assimilatiton ability in he Borg Medical Kit that drops off Armek in The Cure.

    Never tried it but the Sci-Skills Biofilter Sweep and Hypospray - Melorazine might work. Both say in their description to cleans the target from mental debuffs.

    I tried Biofilter while on my Sci, and didn't seem to work. :(

    Dome is a great asset. Even though they dont last longer than a blink dome works to push things away from you even in the cure. It isnt a long lasting dome but the initial effect will still clear a terminal or force any borg on top of you away for a moment of breathing room. Also remember in the other stf's tact initive used on a engineer will immediately recharge his dome for a quick second use. This is very useful for infected and KA.

    Has anyone used tachyon harmonic on the shields the cure boss puts up?
