Any updates?

Same issues. Tried all the obvious things, and get the same error.

It's probably best explained with a video, but the idea of shield gating is that when your shield breaks (hits 0), you get a brief window of invulnerability. If you can consistently use that window to restore you shield, you'll never die. Easy, right? Rolling guard can extend that window, as well as purging any status effects on you.

It's an active playstyle, requires specific builds as well as never running out of energy, and if you screw it up you're dead, but it will take you all the way to level cap if you do it right. Personally for archon hunts I just run a tank frame.

Yeah, the levels on the Archon Hunt are comparable to Sedna or the Kuva Fortress in SP (130-150), but with respawns removed. The first planets of SP are only 100.

Primary arcane adapters cost 25 steel essence from Teshin, which is the exact amount of essence you get from doing the 5 daily steel path incursions. Put them on any gun you like, you can always farm more.

Yeah, I'm talking about the original Incarnon weapons from the Zariman, which are distinct from the new Incarnon Adapters you get from the Circuit. You can buy the blueprints from Cavelero with Zariman/Holdfast rep.

Rhino should generally be fine for an Archon hunt, you just need to get good at charging Iron Skin on enemy damage so that you're not constantly recasting (that is, don't cast it until you're in combat so you can build up a big buffer, rather than casting it before you get in combat).

Revenant plays similarly. Mesmer skin has a number of stacks, where any damage removes a stack and gives you a couple seconds of invulnerability. With about 15-20 stacks from a normal cast, that's ~30 seconds of invulnerability if you're constantly getting hit and usually more if you're moving around and dodging. Nezha is just Rhino but faster and more slippery.

Edit: Oh, liches/sisters. Yes, Tenet weapons are from Sisters of Parvos. I'd put them below steel path in terms of difficulty (enemy levels 60-100). Progression-wise, while you don't have to do it before archons, you'll definitely find it easier. Lots of good weapons in both pools.

Archon hunts are harder than steel path. I would try to get comfortable in SP before worrying too much about archon hunts. The Fulmin, particularly a 7 forma Fulmin, should be fine for steel path. An upgrade if you like that style of weapon is the Tenet Arca Plasmor.

If you haven't done much SP, I also wonder if you're using weapon arcanes. Primary/Secondary Merciless are a pretty big step up in damage, so I'd start farming steel essense for arcane adapters if you haven't yet.

In terms of guns for Archons, the Zariman Incarnon guns (particularly the Felarx for the archons themselves, and the Laetum for regular mobs) are good choices. The Kuva Hek is another good gun for taking out Archons.

In terms of frames, someone that can stay alive easily like Revenant or Nezha can be a good way to ease yourself into it.

The worst part of Warframe is host migration.

I actually like spy missions. I can deal with unfun game mechanics and my own dumb inability to deal with them (e.g. losing a defense target to a toxin eximus because I wasn't paying enough attention). What really bugs me is when I lose progress because the games lack of checkpointing and awkward net code causes me to lose an hour of progress.

Only pictures of John Oliver as a Warframe?

While it's a bit jankier, WFInfo relies on screenshots, and thus does not run afoul of the Warframe ToS. DE don't endorse it, but have publicly said they won't ban you for it: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/875096-wfinfo-in-game-ducats-and-platinum-prices/?tab=comments#comment-9176107)

Not being into cosmetics, I'm not even sure I'd buy at 75%. I've never seen one in 300 login days. It takes about 20 minutes to farm enough plat to buy a potato or some forma, and honestly that's about all I buy these days.

I should probably figure out a way to kick DE a few bucks. I did buy plat once at 50% off to get myself off the ground.

I don't think I'm going back to reddit much without a 3rd party app (and I'm not paying to use one), but at the same time, I agree about Lemmy. The web app is pretty buggy, and really not good on mobile web. For example I had to reload the page for the reply button to respond to this comment on desktop, and on several occasions I click on a random post on the mobile page and it's brought me to some kind of editing page rather than loading the post to reply.

That said, of the official forums, reddit, and lemmy, lemmy is the least bad right now and seems like it has the best future. It at least has 3rd party app support on mobile, and isn't actively trying to sabotage its mobile web experience even if it needs work.

From what I remember, the angel won't move if you silence the weapon and use an invisible frame like Loki or Ivara, so you can just shoot its unmoving head until you complete the challenge.

Honestly I'd hold on to most of it until you get a feel for the game. Spend a bit of it on slots (though you can sell most of the early weapons once you master them, they aren't that good), and once you start getting weapons and frames you like orokin catalysts / orokin reactors. Then, once you know what you hate doing, spend it to avoid doing that thing to farm something.

If you want to splurge on something early, buy the prime version of a frame you like (or like the look of) off of http://warframe.market. Prime frames honestly aren't that much better than the regular versions, but they're tradeable, and being the best version of what they are it's easy to justify investing forma and orokin reactors in them. Note that you'll still have to build the frame, so make sure you have or can get the materials required for the blueprint.
