Are Netracells difficult? The prompt says I should have a team and I have never done them before but I want to grind archon shards. Should I just go in solo and try it or does it really require a full team?
I have unlocked them but not attempted as I don’t play public 99% of the time (and all my frens quit). If I do have a crack at it, I will report back.

Solo is probably better than pubs for them (although this might be my bias from playing solo 99% of the time) - the main time gate on the mission involves killing enemies once they enter a circle and no amount of your personal skill will keep retards from killing them outside - it's that one Deimos bounty but with a significantly higher kill count required.

Exactly why I play solo. I do Archon hunts on my own so after looking it up on the wiki, should be fine.

Edit so not to double post.

Yup easy peasy except when the necramite doesn’t spawn. Then that’s a redo from start.

Yeah fuck Fortuna, glad this is coming though.

Holy shit finally. I refuse to step foot in the shithole that is Orb Vallis. I don't know what the fuck they did, but the enemies hit harder than Steel Path or archon hunts if you stay in one place for too long. The big bosses are also trash and I see no reason to do them other than Hildryn and Garuda for MR fodder.
 
So I got duviri paradox done and I loved it. Fun side story, combat wasn’t a slog and an interesting little open world.

Tried the circuit and fell in love, gotta get the steel patch version unlocked asap, can see myself sinking some serious hours into it.

I’ve tried all the content that I missed the last few years and am pretty impressed. The game seems like it’s in a good place, and there’s just so much to do I’m having trouble figuring out what to start with my limited free time.

Steel Path Duviri Circuit has Incarnons that rotate every week, so I'd grind for those if I were you. Incarnons add an alternative fire mode that builds up a special meter when you headshot enemies, and alternate fire will then often transform the weapon into something different using the built up meter as ammo pool. It also massively increases certain base stats on weapons like raw damage, stability, crit% and stat%.

My personal favorite incarnonrs are for Lex, Soma and Braton. This week has Braton Incarnon, which turns the weapon into a beast. My Braton prime is rocking 180% status chance with slash, viral and heat right now.

It's a rather long rotation cycle, so make sure you pick up the ones you want when they're available, otherwise you might have to wait 8-9 weeks or something before they're available again.

Melee incarnons are pretty useless though, I'd recommend you go for the guns. SP version is a lot grindier to rank up in, but the incarnons are well worth it.

The one exception being the Ceramic Dagger, which becomes the best stat stick in the game for most purposes, especially if you refuse to engage with the gacha cancer that is Rivens.
 
Went ahead and picked up WF again after stopping around the plains update (late 2016 or early 2017), a lot of the changes I've seen thus far are mostly good, however I now have no frens to farm with anymore lol.

The whole story being convoluted I can absolutely understand, I'm currently trying to get my hands on a Voidrig and that's been quite tiresome to start the new war quest and see what the new hubbub is about.
 
This weekend's alerts are pretty good for people who hate dealing with tedious Solaris United quests/want bond tokens for Star Days cosmetics etc. You get like 45 of em between two pretty short missions.
 
So I did my first Netracell and got shit all, but it was a decent experience. Nobody died but it took 20 minutes because my team kept killing enemies outside of the zone. Still I was a bit intimidated so I took my tankiest frame (Citrine) and it was smooth.

Working on Xaku now and I am pretty happy with this lazy build I made.

I know his 3 is unpopular to Helminth, but I like Pillage and this is for pure laziness. I pop my 1, make sure theres a decent amount of enemies and pop 2, then pop 4. I get a good 40 seconds of my 4 and just need to Pillage occasionally.

My main issue now is that I need to prime enemies with status's and my Acceltra isnt great for that. I really need to farm a Kuva Nukor or something, I can see my damage going up even higher with that. I have him paired with my Smeeta Kavat. Sentinel may be better but with the amount of weapons you get floating around you, it would just clutter the screen even more, plus Smeeta = more loot.

Having a lot of fun with the game again, I glad I committed to not using Wukong when I decided to give the game another go, its been great messing with frames I otherwise ignored over the years. Also I think I made my Xaku look hella cool.

I don’t know if you know, but the clone consumes ammo now so you really made a great decision here imho.

Thats lame but Wukong was really strong and needed some kind of nerf. Slapping an Acceltra or Kuva Bramma on him so the clone could aimbot things while you meleed through content was so easy. He was by far my most used frame at 30% on my profile, and he was the crutch for all content, it got boring which is why I stopped playing years ago.

I will still use him in open worlds, the clone killing things while I fish and mine was chill. Honestly I wish the open worlds had a pacifist version so I could just explore and farm non combat content.

There is a mining widget available in Fortuna to silence your mining laser but holy fuck is it annoying to have 500 level 1 idiots dropped on top of your head every time you try to mine/fish for 4 seconds. Thankfully Deimos and Orb Vallis have obelisks and Exploiter Orb respectively so it cuts down on some of the time just purely mining.

I had to pull myself away from Hildryn to not burn out a while back since I was just spending every mission bouncing off walls and pressing 3.

Dual Ichor's Incarnon is great, too, since that leaves toxic clouds when you kill an enemy. Murdering some dudes with them can balloon your damage and kills pretty easily.
 
Oh boy more weekly rotating bullshit that I will totally wait for on the off-chance I play warframe again hurray.

I guess I'll come back in march when what I want is in rotation. If I fucking remember (I wont). On the bright side I finally have an umrbral forma.

I like playing gloom chroma or gauss p for this shit. Effigy stripping armor is a godsend and gauss zoomies is funny with a zenistar especially with heavy attack spamming being a thing again - which also doesn't pop the turret.
 
If anyone has advice I would hear it. I am almost positive I should put serration as the last mod in here. I am trying to fit this riven I got in but I dont know if I should even bother.

EDIT: Decided to cycle the riven and got this so I am actually pretty happy.

The Infested week being as good as it is is some classic DE balance. Half the weeks are filled out with mediocre Incarnons, then you've got week 5 with the Torid, Dual Toxocyst, Dual Ichor and Miter (and then, admittedly, the middling Atomos).

Install an arcane adapter and get Galvanized mods? No other suggestions as I don't use this NPC weapon. I got two decent rivens for it that I can't get rid of, sadly.

Maybe something like this? If you end up going Serration, I'd use Amalgam Serration from the Vallis fissure events. You lose like 5% damage in exchange for 25% sprint speed that you keep regardless of if the weapon is drawn or not. Maybe drop Hammer Shot for this since Wraith doesn't get much out of crit and use Serration or Amal. Serration for the last slot. To be honest, I pretty much just used this weapon as mastery fodder and sold it when I was done.
