I don't remember, but honestly on base SP I feel you don't need a full strip. Pre level 1k you can get away with base corrosive or heat usually, but at the point of having good enough weapons to run no strip you probably have decent armor strip builds (or can just subsume strip on literally everything)
Green shards?
They had the bright idea of adding another layer of Warframe buffs called archon shards that usually give tiny bonus (extra energy, 10% more duration, more crit on secondaries, etc) but they relatively recently added fusion shards (orange green and purple) that are easily way stronger and meta defining. Purple works a lot with electricity and adds damage to electric abilities or electric to your primary. Green is almost exclusively used to add additional stacks of corrosion, and with two you can full armor strip. Orange just sucks.
Oh that, yeah I know about archon shards, I just didn't make the conneciton to green because I haven't bothered with the fusion ones, the only ones I use are red for power and duration and yellow for castspeed, everything else seemed like too much hastle for too little reward.
I have five orange shards on my Ember for the additional secondary crit on heat kills. Shit slaps, but I could get away with it because I got lucky on netracells/archimedian. Def not worth as a starting investment.
Yellow parkour velocity are a significant addition to the actual fun of playing the game - I've got three Tau yellows on Mesa and it's jarring switching to anyone without similar, even with Lightning Dash or Mobilise.
I felt the same about Vauban when his stacking vortex would also stack brightness. You'd just have this incredibly bright light in the middle of the screen that would go away if you turned like 5 degrees.
I'm suddenly stricken with longing for the Mirage Simulor days.
I'm not touching that shit since it decides the loadout for you. I've stuck to Netracells and have gotten shards almost every single run, along with a handfull of tauforged ones.
I don't mind the set loadouts that much. It's actually pretty fun for me running higher level content (where viral is useless) with almost random stuff, but running archimedea and netracells have given me a lot of shards. Except red. Also you can always pick one weapon or frame that's not on the list and the only thing you're missing on the reward track is the final vossfor.
Which, mind you, is so insignificant that it's not worth the extra effort.
Seriously. They should have made the total vossfor reward equal 200 so you could at least get an arcane pack. Classic grindy DE.
Better to have a guilt-free veto to make bad rolls slightly less cancerous.
Oh no, don't you know that phones are the FUTURE!? If we don't cater to literally everyone and their mother, the game will die!
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
