      He mentioned it in the video but I think it could use some extra emphasis. I couldn't make much headway into SP until I maxed out the acolyte arcanes, and one of the best ways for an SP newbie to get ez acolyte arcanes is to get carried in incursions.

    You also get a handy bundle of Steel Essence upon fully clearing a SP Planet for the first time, if you're close to the end but are left with only the most annoying nodes like Interception or Defense, you can always just ask nicely in recruiting chat and you'll usually find players willing to help. It's how I've handled literally all of the Interception missions I've done on the SP. Also Also, you can still pop relics on nodes you haven't unlocked on SP. Finally, the Ceramic Dagger is a very convenient Melee Incarnon even outside of being a stat stick. Even if you don't plan on using it for Khora or Atlas or whoever else, the ability to passively charge it with Primary kills makes it very convenient as it's basically a free Parkour boost.

    This was an amazing and informative video. Thanks for giving me a path to start advancing in Steel Path.
    I got stuck at Sorties and the game has so many options to choose that I was blocked, not knowing what's the best way to move forward.
    I made this condensed step by step doc based on this video:
    Steel Path objectives:
    1. Increase survivability (starter frames: Rhino, Revenant Zephyr, Lavos, Yareli, Dante):
    a. 95%+ Damage reduction (armor), Adaptation mod
    b. immortality: Revenant (Mesmer skin), Valkyr (Hysteria), Rolling Guard + Augur mods,
    c. Evasion: Ivara, Zephyr

    2. Increase damage:
    a. Weapons: Kuva (Nukor, Sobek), Tenet (Arca Plasmor, Envoy, Plinx) Incarnon (Praedos, Phenmor, Felarx, Innodem), basic (Nataruk, Grimoire, Xoris)
    b. Weapon mods: multishot mods, Galvanized + Condition Overload (for Status Chance, Damage)
    c. Arcane Adaptors for weapons (Farm Steel Essence)
    d. Weapon arcanes (Primary + Secondary from Acolytes)
    e. Status primer weapons (Epitaph, Tenek Nucor, Tenet Cycron, Cedo)
    f. Companions: Diriga + Arc Coil mod, Panzer Vulp. + Viral Quills mod, Nautilus for the Verglas weapon
    g. Companion mods for status chance (Galvanized)

    3. Crowd Control improvements:
    a. Energy regen mods (warframe: Energy Nexus, Equilibrium; companion: Synth Deconstruct)
    b. Wellspring operator ability from Zenurik
    4. Advanced builds:
    a. Vauban / Khora for the 4th ability
    b. Infuse damage/CC abilities: Roar, Eclipse, Breach surge, Nourish, Ensnare, Silence

    Incursions are great for 2 things, there usually are people running them in open squad, so it's an easy and fast way to get Steel Essences. And it serves as a "taxi", meaning you discover the node it takes place on even if you didn't get to that planet yet. I unlocked most of the Steel Path star chart that way, there was no rush anymore, at that point it's just a bit of rank mastery XP.
    I still remember my first venture into Steel Path - normal Rhino and Broken War. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't the fastest, but it got the job done quite alright :)

    When I first encountered Steel Path, I was in no way ready for it because I hardly invested in any of the weapons I had...until I stumbled on Protea Prime. I feel that her alone can clear the entirety of the star chart on SP and a good majority of those nodes WITHOUT a weapon of any kind. There are some exceptions though...I built mine around her fire turrets and well, funny enough, those turrets don't shoot capture targets. Still, she has damage (Blaze Artillery), survivability (Grenade Fan (Hold)), control (Blaze Artillery and Grenade Fan) and sustainability (Dispensary) all in one. I could not tell you how many countless times I've used the Grenade Fan's shield giving properties on Defense objectives or Excavators and it wins the mission alone because I can focus on other things while my target is safe.

    Tip : dont rush steelpath
    -get good mods.
    -if you're in a group, try not to think abt killing, but surviving. Most of the time you'll get some wukongs on your team killing the ads when you just started aiming at the enemies.
    The jump when you could do really high lvl mission will feel really good after taking your time.
    One thing that sometimes can make me a little bit eh in certain SP mission it felt like playing 'The reckoning' in Destiny. You're too strong that the only way to kill you is throw a dozen of enemies at you. Thats where aoe damage comes in. And get blinded by all the lights from all the abilities that you dont know what you're shooting at.

    Nyx and Ash are also great for steel path, Ashe with arcane trickster and silence is basically always invisible and with enough strength and efficiency you can just kill them all. And Nyx has Chaos to CC a large area which is great for defense, Psychic bolts which is great to armor strip needing just 130% strength to full strip, and Assimilate on Absorb which will allow you to move without taking any damage. I have 2 builds, 1 working around max duration and efficiency with Assimilate, and another with max duration and range for Chaos, both work great just be careful of Acolytes cutting off your abilities.

    Back when SP was new, I completed entire SP chart solo with Nyx (and Vauban for Defence and Interception). Pacyfing Bolts locking entire groups of enemies while stripping defences was a godsend. Nowadays defence strip is less important and Xoris can obliterate half of tile with Melee Influence that can be farmed in non-SP, its much easier than before the enemy defence changes. Hell, even decently build Verglas with Contagion Bond can clear groups for you. If at the point you reading this Nautilus Prime is not available anymore, you can achieve similar results with Cryotra that is craftable and can be bought for standing in Fortuna.
    Healing arcanes can be also helpful, either Magus Elevate for operators or Molt Reconstruct for Warframes, depending on what content is comfortable for you (Magus Repair too, but it requires farming toroids, Profit Taker or Exploiter, which can be annoying). Use Specters to complete your loadout, with Styanax or Citrine specter being a standout.

  • @NoStLinuxGaming
    @NoStLinuxGaming Місяць тому

    Thanks for the tips. Personally I find it best not to rush things: get good weapons and all the essential mods, optimize your builds, test them in the Simulacrum and then go for it. I'd say surviving is the hardest part, because with the galvanized mods (and possibly arcanes) once you get the necessary initial kills you should be able to clear out the enemies without breaking a sweat.
    Also, if you have a good secondary weapon, I'd recommend using the arcane Secondary Fortifier. Not only it helps with dealing with enemy overguard, it also gives a part of it to your Warframe.

Which with just 2 mods (precision intensify and shield of shadows) on top of your usual strength setup can make Nekros damn near unkillable with dessicrate paying for itself through health orb drops

  • @SignificantOwl
    @SignificantOwl Місяць тому

    The real answer is that any frame can be SP viable if you have the build components to do it available, but I still take issue with some of your recommendations for starter frames. What on earth is Lavos doing in this list? Rhino is honestly kind of questionable when it comes to starting SP. There are much, much better options available that don't require refreshing Iron Skin a bajillion times. Yareli at least has Merulina as a 90% DR, even if that requires that you live on a K-drive, which is its own detriment. Overall, the recommendations are a bit iffy outside of Revenant and Zephyr. Citrine has built-in DR and healing, for example, so I don't know why Lavos would ever be picked on this kind of list over her. Or literally any frame with a built-in 90% DR ability.
    Also, literally any halfway decently modded melee will be fine to start SP. Especially if Tennokai is also available. But even that isn't required. Back when SP came out I was still a newer player, but I solved it easily with Nezha (who has a 90% DR ability), Adaptation, Health Conversion, an unmodded Daikyu save for the amalgam mod that makes 1h nikanas get life steal, and a Zaw 1h nikana. Do people ever even use Zaws anymore? Anyway, my point is, I know TheKengineer loves Lavos for incomprehensible reasons, but he's not a good SP starter recommendation.

    I still wish they didn't go as crazy on the power scaling with sp. it's not a such a big Difficulty wall like you said, but it still feel like they very much skipped a step difficulty wise. Like, a fair amount of stuff that is too strong for star chart also end up being too weak for sp.Let's not forget that galvinized mods and acolyte arcanes were not a thing at release, and they had to add that bit of player powercreep because they just went too hard with enemies.
    personally i'm really not a fan of it's current state, mostly due to the damage scaling on enemies that just make less mobile playstyle very hard to play, since their damage increace exponentially while our defensive stats are static. I do hope it gets ouched up to be less extreme on the entry difficulty so it's more of a proper starchart continuation, because we needed the harder mode, but not to that extreme

There is a reason why Rev prime is the most used frame, and we all know it's not because his kit is out of this world

      He has a very good video about HCET and combining elemental damage.
      Assuming you are talking about the Verglas build on 10:20, the malignant force and rime rounds combine into the viral (toxin and cold), thermite rounds add heat. His radiation damage type is from the Radiated reload mod, so heat doesn't combine into more radiation damage, because radiation was added as an element, not as a combination of elemental mods.
