Jawastew: As a longtime overheater.. err Holosmith enjoyer, I very much agree with the Helldivers reference. I never knew you couldn't exit Holoforge when the skill flipped, that's too early to leave forge anyway! From my experience it's a lot more satisfying to keep your heat between 100 and 150.. You enter around (never over) 100, forge 3 -> 4, throw some utility and F skills and when you're in the red, you press 3 again and immediately exit forge. This is because forge 3 has some delayed heating, taking you up to exactly 150! And when you pull that off is when the enjoyment of playing this hits you :D
You didn't fly close enough to the sun, Muk! :D
gabrielpelegrini6135: The visual glitch is due to the legendary gloves skin you are using. The perfected envoy skins does that to some infusions too
Nex123: to be fair, if you're stacking together in a group, you can't see if you're low, medium or high heat. As an engi player, I don't use that visual. I just know which skills will give me extra heat and when to go down lower than 75 heat during phases that require CC so I can use the CC skill and not go overheat
obsidianchilly: Main Engi so i play Holo a lot.
Not a pro so I don't have lots of tips but I did notice you never detonated your mine toolkit skill - it's just sitting there.

If the boss is stationary (or if you practice on a golem) you have to trigger it yourself as it will not walk over them.
coffEEbot12: Main holo here. Yeah, all I want is to turn off forge at 149 every time, feels amazing when I pull it off.
CyberDoedel: In the potato we trust.
huna7a: Female Asura Engi - the best combo! I use power holo to farm the fractal dailies and find joy while doing so.
jurare89: in addition what the others already said, there´s a tiny detail you may want to keep track of: your minor trait "Laser's Edge" (every holosmith has that by default since it´s, well, a minor trait) is ONLY active when your holoforge is active. this reaches its cap at 100 heat (which is easy to keep up as you´re running ECU). So you want to make sure to use Laser Disk and Prime Light Beam while you´re STILL in holoforge (basically the moment you reach 100 heat you already want to use LD and PLB) because you want to have as many of the damage-ticks as possible before deactivating holoforge.
kumamarru5492: Big Tip for Holo Enjoyers.

Always Try to use Crona(Virus) Burst immediately before leaving forge. It will slowly fill the bar even after you leave forge, so you can cap out your heat without risk of overheating.
This is important because Holo does more damage the higher heat it has. Even outside of forge.
