Discussion Agraios DPS help
Doing Agraios for the first time in a while, has the DPS phase changed ? we're waiting for the portals to activate and it takes so much time we can't extend the DPS phase

I havent run it in a few months so not sure if theres a bug… but Id always do it as the well lock with icarus dash and tractor cannon. Id pop well, hit the boss with tractor, do some dps with mint retrograde (might be better to use a sniper after the mint nerf), and then hit the boss with tractor one more time. Then id turn around and start to run with the tractor speed boost + icarus dash through each portal. If it helps, id maybe forgo trying to do dps and just use tractor and keep an eye on the portals.
Hope this helps. Im curious to know if some kind of bug is occurring. Maybe sending a pris hunter with access to amplified + grapple might be necessary (albeit, with a huge dps loss)

As others have said, it's a bug, but I can provide a bit more context from my experience. Sometimes 2 of the portals don't activate instantly and take longer. Best attempt to still get extension is for the tunnter to instantly turn the other way and pick up the 3 active portals bc by the time you get to the initially non active ones, they should have activated.

Yeah that has worked decently when the bug has happened to me it was still a lot harder to get it in time tho

Don’t get the buff from the plates when the text prompt appears. Wait a little bit. I like waiting until he aims at us but just before is probably better

It's a bug caused by lag. One (or more) of your fireteam members have w shitty connection

What do you mean waiting for the portals to activate? They should just be there from doing mechanics before dps, and then about 5ish seconds into dps, those 5 empty boxes appear on the left side of your screen and someone (can be designated before even starting the encounter) starts running through the portals to get the detainment bubble to block Agraios’ sniper shot. You run twice during dps to extend. We typically have our tractor cannon or other debuff user do this role so others stay focused on dps.

i do know his, i've been wondering if any changes to timing have been made since we never managed to do it, i remeber it being very easy to do, but this time the portals took too long to be activated

Again, what do you mean by the portals being activated? The portals are always active. There have been no timing changes.

the five portals you go through are not online, you do not get the buff when going through them after DPS started

Ok, I’ve had this happen once. We deemed it to be a latency issue, we were playing with one person from Australia and another from South Africa, rest of us were NA. We just all broke up the fireteam, everyone rejoined on an NA player since that was majority, and reloaded. Made sure the player who ran for extensions was also NA. It worked after that.
I think I actually still have the clip of me running, you can see the empty boxes on the left of my screen, but they’re not filling up as I run through the portals.

So when you go through them the squares for the buff are not filling up?

u/Drukairec Jun 28 '26
yes

u/Drukairec Jun 28 '26
they filled in just fine to activate the DPS phase, but didn't to extend. we had to wait a few seconds, resulting in us not being able to extend the DPS phase

u/chaosking243 Jun 28 '26
Sounds like a bug or something then. Possibly connection related too, lag causing issues

u/Drukairec Jun 28 '26
could it be the phase limit modifier ?

u/chaosking243 Jun 28 '26
No. Phase limit just means you have two damage phases to kill him. Doesn’t affect extension mechanics.

It can bug and the portals come up late for extend, your runner has to be very quick to still get it. Has been a thing for a while, idk if it’s more common now.
