It never gets old seeing you dash into anything new without the slightest idea, me screaming "time!" at my screen and you just somehow making it every time :)
For your understanding: Index isnt some regular horde of zombie elemination place, it is arena - arena where best Corpus solders fight for their life for money
So I realize that by now you've started to figure out how the index works, but there's a quest you can do that helps teach you how it works if you wanted to do that before grinding the index. I think it's the Glast Gambit quest, but don't quote me on that. Maybe doing that will help you with the index. Thanks for sharing your journey with us! Always fun watching new players enjoying this game.
Each enemy in the Index has unique abilities, attacks, defenses, and fighting styles, and every Index match you fight a randomly chosen collection of them. I'd recommend going in with a team of three experienced squadmates so they can both handle the killing/depositing and help answer questions as you're getting used to the game mode. Pay close attention to each of the enemies to learn their unique abilities and how to recognize and avoid the traps they'll leave around the arena. Get familiar with each map (there's only two) and learn where the health, energy, and ammo pickups spawn. Always keep one eye on your radar so you can spot enemies around corners or above/below you (I like to switch from minimap to overlay for the Index so I can see more of the map at a time, but that's personal preference). Every time your team deposits points, more time is added to the clock, but every time the enemy deposits, time is taken OFF the clock - so preventing their deposits is important not only to collect their points but also to protect your timer. Also, if you continue to play multiple rounds in a row, enemies will get increasingly harder, and if you fail a single time, you will lose ALL accumulated rewards, _including your winnings/profit from every previous round_ (just like in any other endless mission). In Low Risk, the financial stress debuff (which buffs your damage but drains your health, energy, and shields) doesn't apply until you're holding 5 or more Index points, at which point you also start earning deposit bonuses. The points you're carrying, your deposit bonus, financial stress, team score, and round timer are all on the left of the screen to easily keep track. It's recommended to bank at least 5 points at a time for the added bonus, but not more than 15 (as the bonus barely increases past that point while financial stress keeps getting worse). However, if you see your timer getting low, go ahead and bank to give your team more time. One final note: All the enemies in Index have both shields AND armor, so they can be tough to kill (especially in later rounds) unless you're equipped to deal with both. Some things that can help include the aura mods Corrosive Projection and Shield Disruption, Corpus faction damage mods like Bane of Corpus, damage types that reduce shields or armor (magnetic, corrosive, heat) or ignore them (slash, toxin, viral), and crowd-control abilities (abilities that confuse, slow, disarm, or incapacitate enemies). For example, Jade's Ophanim Eyes ability permanently strips both shields and armor while slowing enemies to a near-standstill, making Index enemies incredibly easy to deal with.
Mastery Rank 9 challenge (and 19 for that matter) can be cheesed by using the Kestrel, it's a melee weapon, but it's a boomerang. It belongs to the Glaive type category. If you hold your melee, you can throw it, and when you use your heavy attack while it's off, flying, it will explode. In the case of the Kestrel, it sends enemies and their corpses flying. Doesn't even need a whole lot of modding for it. As for your Warframe, I'd suggest Banshee, with enemy radar mods.
It may be worth putting some consumables on your gear wheel for situations where you're low on health/ammo/energy and are...tactically hiding behind a crate. Alternatively, the Sahasa Kubrow can also help in such situations due to its "Dig" precept.
That Bursa robot - is basicly walking safe\vault. They have green shield at front that hold any damage, also their front legs have shield-panes that do same thing.
Hi new to your channel 😂 my goodness that was freaking hilarious. Running into index blind. You're brave! Thats like playing volleyball without knowing the rules haha. But honestly cheers to you for playing and learning as you go well done. Hope to catch you on twitch eventually!
For MR 9 Test I highly recommend the Rakta Dark Dagger and Wisp. That will turn the MR 9 test into a piece of cake. Good to have with that would be the Mods: Aero Vantage and Boreal's Anguish + any kind of Enemy Radar. If you can get it: Arcane Trickery but that may be overkill on MR 9
You have two ways to overcome Index: throw milions of damage from afar and when its clear pickup indexes, Or - Pick every enemie weak point, be accurate to not get hurt of any attack.
Ah, Index. I avoided it until I had to do it for Glast’s Gambit…and then tried it solo for that and ignored the quest for…a year or so before finally going back with Octavia, the Preparation mod, and a bit more understanding.
I get the feeling that you're tempted to do everything that the game has to offer. But, I feel like you should do things at your own pace. I'd say the story quests are a good place to start.
Last time I got credit booster from daily login, I took my Revenant Prime, best wep and did few hours of caffeine induced solo index. 6 index, 4 rounds each, bam. 12 mil credits. That'll last me a while.
Every enemy at Index throw granades at you, someone cast fireballs and so on... If you do not pay attention what enemies do, does someone after you, does they throw big exposive thing at you or near you, or some traps at your feet.... Just try to avoid them?)
Rhino is your best early choice for index, easy to farm and his second ability will keep you safe - no more running back for health, you just have to remember where the energy restocks are located to refresh his iron skin once it runs out. The credits you get from Index are affected by the boosters, so before you go for a farming session remember to pop at any relay for the credit blessing, it will make your time spend on arena more worthwhile. Once you switch to defensive frame gathering points will be easier and you can start doing it the proper way, to get more bonus points. Start with 5 and as you get more comfortable go as far as 17 (+8 bonus points), more is not profitable. Each round will get progressively harder, so it might be better to leave after 1-2 and reset the mission than risking losing it all. Good luck

Stronger enemies can survive finishers, yeah. I didn’t like discovering it either.

I believe I used Xoris in the end, the exploding frisbee
It can also be cheesed with redeemer from the start

I would recommend you go to your options and turn on enemy highlights so they stand out.
That Bursa robot - is basicly walking safe\vault. They have green shield at front that hold any damage, also their front legs have shield-panes that do same thing.
Also - Index is not only for your team, enemy can pick index laying at floor that you left at kill.

Assuming MR9 was the sneak mission (it's been a while) I believe I cheesed it with Xoris but ty for tips!

Heya! No comment, really. Just know im still watching and enjoying the content!

Or never fking sue her 2nd ability to save her life and she had plenty energy to do it...

I almost failed at the test yesterday, MR8 with a new warframe without all the agility mods? Yes of course I forget those mods xD
I don't know why you don't, but I think it'd benefit you on certain activities if you use the map overlay
Got invited to a game called hide the sausage. Hope he hides it in the place i realy wanna feel up
no.
