I have the 36 hour bake going so I'll be able to continue the Archwing quest Saturday night.
I'd like to join in but I'm imaging between quest and (different) mods etc etc its pretty unrealistic.
So I'm figuring this event only prompted me to get Archwing stuff, unless it's something smart effort/play can handle?
I'm in a clan / have xb1 friends but I'm also not the type who looks for a carry - more curious than anything - thanks!

Thanks for the Relay add, caught you on the PC with that question :-)
And I definitely appreciate the spoiler tags, works very well for this guide.

I started off feeling it was worth the jab in the arm early in my Tenno career so I got a Carrier Sentinel with plat.
- Carrier Potato'd, has its gun, believe it also added 'vacuum' and 'striker' mods
- Sweeper Potato'd, since it leverages my shotgun mods, I *don't think* it came with any/basic mods
- Added 2 new slots to a generous Sentinel/Sentinel weapon pool (more-so than Frames and reg weapon needs IMO)
I've since been thinking of adding a couple, Helios and Shade, for codex and complementing my Loki, respectively.
I'm not really worried about the extra Sentinel/gun slot, and I'm really not (or nowhere) near needing Potato'd Sentinels.
Even my carrier gun doesn't arguably need the potato. This of course may change as I move higher in MR/mods/etc.
So finally to my queries, are either Helios or Shade 'plat-worthy'? [Or a different one I really need to look hard at?]
* Helios I've bough the blueprints (clan 10/15K) and outside 10 Fieldron to farm and a Forma, looks like a slam dunk.
BUT unlike Shade (and just about any other Sentinel) I don't seem to have any (of the 3) Helios mods already.
-> In building the Helios I have to imagine I get Deconstructor wpn? I know I won't get new slots or potatoes this time.
-> In building the Helios I'm not entirely sure I'll at least get any/his basic functional mods? - My immediate concern.
* Shade I have Ghost and Revenge which as far as I can see is the only two it offers. I have not bought the 100K BP.
BUT unlike Helios who I feel may work with any of my warframes, this seems like a niche 'help Loki be more Loki' add.
-> I'm hearing a lot about how flighty his cloak can be, but I'm also not that close to a 'perm invis' Loki setup so...
-> Sounds like between cloak recharge nerf, needing LOS etc it could still help Loki on stealth missions/really hard stuff
* Any other Sentinel I'm missing here I really want to take a hard look at?
Looking past the Carrier I do hope to see the added value of:
* Helios for filling in the Codex and then hoping to get extra dps out of its vulnerability functionality across my Frames?
* Shade thinking only for Loki / stealthy Frames / play, but might it allow me to do the toughest hits (alerts/nightmare)?
Thanks much!

Just to point out, Exalted Blade replaces your equipped melee weapon, and as of 16.10.1, counts as a longsword, so you get the passive when in EB no matter what weapon you have equipped, even if you have no melee weapon equipped at all. Also the passive applies to Dual Swords and Katanas as well.
^ Interesting, as this makes it to consoles we may start with the 16.9 'not a longsword, effected by current wpn' and catch-up in 16.10.
Not a big deal perhaps but noteworthy to the min/max-ers.
At my stage in the game I'm just looking to adding it to my melee arsenal over super jump!

^ Thanks for all the refinements and great detail/testing guys, also adding your take Padre - yes, I already enjoy long term engagements and while I am arguably under-powered (rank / weapons / mods) for some of the invites I receive, as I'm built for survival, smack-down and smart use of radial blind w/o overextending, I tend to do better than many who should surpass me equip-wise/numerically.
[Doesn't mean some Grineer teleporting me around in 30-40 scenarios didn't give me some serious lumpage tho too, ouch]
And yes I am looking for Lifestrike. I'm happy I was able to nab rejuve but energy siphon might do me better (I think), Agreed though that it's fun to theory-craft to a point, I need the pieces/experience to see where I'm short and where some of this is unnecessary.

Thank you Gelkor/Surtur immensely for catching me up on the incoming exalted blade fun
* I just broke into syndicates so I'll look to understand / figure out what to go after there
* Much appreciate your explaining exactly why/how skana can be one of the best blades for it
It does seem you could simply use your favorite melee weapon and Exalt Blade more on need
- But it also seems not building with a mind to EB (possibly as often as you can) might be a mistake
I've been a Radial Blind / kill everything with Melee fan with a bit of defense into my weapons - EB having some may get me to shed a bit

Rather new to the game and a heavy melee player, as I near 30 I hear we're getting a tweak to really be melee! GREAT!
I have some things to do which seem to be still, or even more applicable now -
Energy Siphon, Potato for Frame and finding the right melee weapon to complement will be the next key
But with what I already picked up, Skana may already be great for it? And.. I guess Potato for it then too?
I already have it at 30 but haven't run it through with any formas, any suggests there or is the base just fine?
[i have other melee weapons including dual ether on the way and had plan to potato something 'newer', but...]
On that note I shouldn't assume the best aura is Energy Siphon, right now I have Rejuve and a couple others, thoughts?
Thanks! Can't wait!!
-
very happy about this - recently got going in warframe, chose Excalibur first, and always do melee first
the fact that I near 30 and now I near such a terrific appropriate tweak is most excellent! :-)

thanks for all the input - I hadn't dug into kubrows as they seem a maintenance pain in the butt, but good to know that's a better stealther
