Hi all,
I’m a returning player, and I’m kind of stuck a bit in terms of progress. I have caught up on all quests and have a great wealth of frames and weapons, but I’m still struggling a fair bit every time I load into a steel path mission, or even really some particularly high level normal missions.
I was away for essentially the entire shield gating defensive meta and the AoE weapon meta, and while I feel my modding has caught up somewhat I’m still not sure I’m particularly good at finding or making builds. My warframes feel flimsy, almost regardless of defensive buffs, and while my Kuva Chakhurr hits hard enough to put things down, its somewhat slow and unwieldy while my more responsive weapons feel like they don’t put out enough damage to get the galvanized stacks rolling.
So what I want to know from my fellow Tenno is, what do you think is required to really excel in Steel Path? Arcanes, archon shards, helminths, focus trees, weapons, incarnons, specific mods, etc. Anything you can think of that you think “I need to have this set before I toggle over to steel path”
As far as weapons go you’ll want the Galvanized mods. You can get those by doing arbitration missions which cycle every hour. In those missions a specific enemy called Arbitration Drones will spawn. They are immune to all warframe abilities and give that immunity to nearby enemies. When they die they have a chance to drop a material called Vitus Essence, which is used to buy the Galvanized mods from the Arbiters of Hexis syndicate at a relay. The mods you’ll want to prioritize are the multishot ones.
As for your issues with your frame survivability, you’ll have to give some more detail on who you’ve been playing and I can make some suggestions for builds.
Realized I just missed the part where you said you’ve been using Galvanized mods. My bad. What MR are you currently and I can make some weapon recommendations.
