    @AvalonGuard That's a great starting point then. On the Zariman you have access to the Laetum (arguably the best secondary in the game), Phenmor, and Praedos which are all Steel Path viable with a good build. So make sure you're maxing out your daily rep there, Molt Augmented is a solid frame arcane for longer duration missions as well.

    One thing to note is in higher level content enemy armor quickly becomes the biggest impediment to efficient kill speed so frames with armor-strip abilities (or weapons that can stack loads of corrosive procs quickly) are important. If your frame of choice can't strip, look at subsuming an ability like Pillage or Terrify. After the companion rework Helios can fill this role with the Vicious Bond mod too.

    Start with Arbitrations, running the mission types you enjoy. They cycle once per hour and I usually ignore the frame/weapon buffs, the key is survivability and bringing a weapon that can nuke the drones quickly. You can't self revive here so not going down is key unless you're taking a group. The first Galvanized mods you pick should be the multishot mods since they're straight upgrades, the others are more niche (Condition Overload for guns, or Argon Scope on 'roids). They also get you the Adaptation and Rolling Guard mods which are great for survivability. Note that resource boosters will double the Vitus Essence that drops from the drones, but not the round rewards. Also doing Arbies will get you piles of Ayatan sculptures which you need for:

    Getting caught up on Primed Mods (Baro has four for sale today) to min-max builds but that's another long term project as you need high six figures of endo and tens of millions of credits to max them all.

    If you have Citrine already, keep running Mirror Defense for Arcane Blessing, which is a good and cheap health boost on longer missions, and Secondary Encumber can be combined with the above Gun-CO galvanized mods to to ludicrous damage.

    On Steel Path your biggest concern other than not dying, and enemy armor, is the Acolytes. They hit hard and have damage attenuation and partial status immunity, and have abilities like turning your own abilities off or negating your weapons with a bullet attractor. They drop primary and secondary Arcanes and Steel Essence (2x with resource booster) which you use to buy the adapters to fit an arcane to your guns, as well as other goodies on Teshin's rotating stock. Getting started on Steel Path the best way is probably to run the Steel Path Incursions on public every day (25 Steel Essence per day) as long as there's at least one decently geared player it should be a snap. Then start clearing the star chart in SP as you get a big infusion of Essence when you complete each planet.

    Weapons wise, any of these will work with a good build, there's more obviously but these are what stick out to me:
    Primary
    • Ignis Wraith
    • Cedo
    • (Tenet) Arca Plasmor
    • Hek variants, especially Kuva
    • Phenmor
    • Nataruk
    • Bubonico
    • Fulmin (Prime)
    • Gotva Prime

    Secondary
    • Kuva Nukor
    • Laetum
    • Atomos
    • Tenet Cycron
    • Sporelacer Kitgun
    • Epitaph
    • Gaze Kitgun
    • Occucor (with Nightwave augment)

    Melee
    • Glaive Prime (or Xoris)
    • Nikana Prime (or Skiajati)
    • Tenet Grigori
    • Lesion
    • Cerata (for Corpus)
    • Praedos (or Kronen Prime)
    • Reaper Prime (or Hate)

    Once you have some fully ranked Primary/Secondary Arcanes you should start looking at Steel Path Circuit in Duviri as the Incarnon genesis weapons can be stupid powerful, like delete the whole room with one click.

    Also do the Kahl garrison missions every week. The Archon mods are for fairly niche mods and I wouldn't recommend dumping Endo into them until you're set on Galvanized/Primed mods, but Styanax has a great Helminth ability and you can buy one Archon shard a week from the shop. Try to do the Archon hunts as well for a second (possibly upgraded) shard too as these are super useful in augmenting a Frame build or filling the gaps from absent rare/Primed mods. You can also get Shards from the new Netracell missions five times per week.

    Then there's Focus, which has never been easier to grind with Duviri and they put Eidolon Lenses in the new Cavia faction shop.

    Zariman/Duviri aren't too incredibly long in terms of quest, and I don't think anything after it has standing requirements or the like.

    Oh, well we shall have to see then! I guess I should fuck around and see what's what, do any available quests, and then make a list of some of the new (to me) frames and weapons and thingiemabobs and where to grind em out at.

    You absolutely, positively, 100% want to at some point go do Steel Path Circuit (Duviri activity) for the new Incarnon weapons. They range from "usable and fun" to "jfc what the fuck", and can be more busted than the Tenet Arca Plasmor could even dream of. (The Zariman Incarnons are also pretty good as a rule, one of the best secondaries, 2 of the best primaries, and a completely ridiculous set of whatsits, tonfas.)

    no, i really don't.

    Honestly, unless you don't like Steel Path at all, or hate the random-loadout concept, I don't know why not. It's kind of fun, and unless you're just not in possession of SP-level mods and equipment, it's honestly not that hard to do a couple-three rounds then dip.

    i hold an irrational hatred for duviri. i couldnt stomach getting through the quest.
    i like playing warframe, i dont like having to play a re-skinned operator with my hundreds of hours of progress removed so that she can equip swords that i'll never use.

    i know it's irrational and probably an extreme reaction, but don't take away my shit, DE. i wont engage, i'll go spend my time with one of the HUNDREDS of games different companies keep shoveling at me.
    but i will always come back for that sweet, sweet murderbot action that no one else delivers when you deliver it.

    I'll be honest, at this point my <spoiler> is contextually more powerful than some of my frames/guns. There's some rogue necramechs in the new tiles, and they're "focused fire with damage caps/reduction from warframes" or "I pop a Madurai ability and flamethrower them with my amp in 5 seconds". A boss like Jackal, I just pop out and hold LB to go invisible/immune when he's doing the wall/missile/whatever shit.

    Yeah, it's different, but I'm pretty well convinced that it, like mechs/heavy weapons, is a pretty solid set of alternate tools you can integrate into the same gameplay. (Free/safe revives, anyone?)

    I tend to, if in doubt, chalk it up to "it's Void damage" and there's all sorts of special rules for that. Also, Madurai + waybounds gives you an absolutely ridiculous amount of damage multipliers available as well as massive crit; just the first ability is like... I dunno, a few hundred % extra damage, and orange crits for 10 seconds or something? It also resets immunities/resistances.

    Edit: Like, where my Torid is critting for 500-600 on one of those mechs, my amp will, after popping abilities, crit for 10k+ on every tick. It melts shit until you get into SP, but even entry level SP it'll do it for you. (And that's a 7-forma Incarnon Torid that usually crits beam ticks for half a million and up once stacked. It is a dumb dumb dumb gun and I love it.)

    Could be worse. Could be Titania.

    Also I hear there's a new mod that's 90% power strength to your 4th ability. I may need that. For reasons.

    Iirc it's an Intensify variant, so you have to make the math call whether it's better for the 4 to have 90% or everything to have 44-66%

    The itty bitty gunship has 700 energy and forgets there's any other buttons than BRRRRRRT. I'm sure the other ones are good buttons, but they're not as user-friendly as that last one...

    Mesa I'd just need to do some math and see if I'm still at the Shatter Shield DR cap if I swapped out intensify. (I don't remember what that is offhand at all.) Either way it's a nice choice, and once I get concrete guy his 4 also looks like it could make use of it, maybe. Better than "basically the same damn mods" I've been putting on every frame for ages anyway.

    Lantern is a fairly decent CC ability but yeah I just kinda don't bother with the other ones :tongue:

    Did the Angels of the Zariman last night, that was cool and weird. I liked the little tower defense-ish mission where you can place turrets, I've always been a fan of games that mash up TD and action like Dungeon Defenders. The Zariman is also an absolutely gorgeous tileset, I could look at it for hours and hours.

    Actually, everything is looking real good these days. Did the alerts for the Sevagoth parts (might as well build a second one!) and Jupiter and even the older Grineer tilesets are real pretty. Maybe just cuz it's been a year and a half since I'd really played, but I was quite enjoying the visuals.

    Having a second srvagoth is great if you don't already have him fed to the helminth, his ability is easily one of the best ones to slap on any other frame you want to be largely invulnerable, it's his slow/lifesteal aura.

    If you don't have the ability to feed frames to helminth yet you get the orbiter segment for it from Son on deimos at some reputation level or other.

    I just did Veilbreaker, and that was a super cool quest. I like when we get to play as different characters or use different skillsets and such. I love the base Warframe gameplay so much, but my ADHD loves to switch things up so gimme all the archwing, railjack, Kahl, etc., content.

    Also, I decided to break out some of the first cosmetics I bought way back when and base Kahl's color scheme around them because they're hideous and I love it. It's the Harkonar armor set!

    @-Loki- and anyone else, curious if you would recommend Ayaka? I had thought the next banner was Raiden but I enjoyed Ayaka in her trial missions and had been keeping an eye out for a while. I do have access to Frost through Layla and Diona currently though as support, this would be Ayaka running a team.

    I'm sitting on 73 pity and only really looking at Raiden, Alhaitham and Kazuha. Whiffed on the Furina banner, but she'd be the fourth.

    My current teams are Keqing/Yelan/Beidou/Bennet and Hu Tao/Xingqiu/Zhongli/Xiangling. I'm just slowly working on finishing building them out, have been holding off on Electro while I wait to see on Raiden Shogun.

    I've got most of the pieces for a Dendro team floating around. Been having a lot of fun with Beidou since I got her, the parry mechanic had my attention for quite a while.

    I unfortunately had to hold off through most of the current banner. I would have liked to pick up the last two XL constellations and I don't have Kuki at all who would be a great electro support but had zero interest in Cyno or Ayato.

    I think the go will probably to try and get Ayaka, and one Raiden who can then be that Electro support for a future Alhaitham/Dendro team.

    so far I've only figured out that the ones with obvious head-like bits have obvious head-like bits, and the two arms glued together enemy's head equivalent is the space between where the two arm rocks hover together. I have accidentally hit a head weakpoint on the culvereins but I cannot figure out how I did it. Maybe the vials on the shoulders are considered heads? but what about after you break both arms? I super can't figure out where the rogue necramechs' weak points are because they do NOT have a glowing weakpoint on their backs like the ones out in the deimos vaults do.
