I am confused on the lootrun beacons

Hello,

I recently did some lootrunning activities in the Molten Heights (it was easier than the Silent Expanse ones) and I am confused between the Aqua and the Blue beacons. I had to get the blue beacon since I need some boons to complete my mission to get some more reward pools. I did not see any difference between the Aqua and Blue beacons and which one is better.

Another thing is how do I get better at lootrunning? I chose beacons like a picky eater and I still struggle on lootrunning. Any tips?

 

Aqua doubles the effect of the next boon

 

Take a look at the wiki page for more info on the beacon colors.

The main thing with lootruns is to create a beacon picking strategy based on the offered / chosen missions (and in extension trials). There's also ways to combine certain missions together to create stronger bonuses. For example, some missions will allow you to passively accumulate boons (and thus get ahead of the difficulty curve and survive longer runs) while you can focus on gathering extra challenges, pulls or flying chests.

 

Thanks, I didn't know that.

 

There is a loot-run guide google document written by Rover and Rem here. It might help you out

 

Thanks for the link, you made my day.
