Struggling with Kepler Archwing mission

[(PSN)Pale_King]

Hi, I'm trying to get through the rush mission on Kepler, Phobos and I'm pulling my hair out. I tend to get to the area where the transports are leaving from with perhaps two transports still to go but I don't have long to take out the Nemes, but I then in up clumsily trying to take these small targets while while they spin rapidly around their transport and I feel lucky to even get a few shots on target. Targeting them on controller is horrendous.

 Other than getting to the end much much faster is there any tips to completing this mission? Cheers.

shooting the thing that procs you with cold to stop it from giving your the cold proc
having a player that is better with arcwing to take you on the mission just to get it finished

This mission is absolutely horrendous and shouldn't be this early in the game imo.  At least it's a node that isn't required to progress further.  I would suggest leaving it alone until you can build an Itzal and get some better archwing gear (Fluctus worked great for me).  It's not worth the hassle to try and do with an Odonata and Imperator.

I had the same issue, i recomend you to play it in solo, it give you more time until the ship depart, try to take down one of the transports with that youll be able to finish it, also recomend to mod your archwaepon damage a little(extermination mission on mars will surely give you some good mods), those drones are not easy to be taking with melee so you gotta use your archgun.

This is exactly how I was able to do it after 5 or 6 tries some time ago. Also, consider switching to Experimental archwing controls in Options. With these enabled, it may be significantly easier to steer through the maze. Nobody plays this mission anyhow, so it is almost impossible to find any team mates. Might just do it solo.

On a bright side, it is actually quite easy. Odonata and Imperator will do just fine with some basic unranked mods.

This is a horrible mission.  This mission and the 2 locked behind it were the very last 3 nodes of my entire star chart.  I still ended up asking a clan member to come help.  No idea why we passed it the time we did as compared to the times we didn’t, but eventually it passes.

You can just use melee on the shield drones since it has a sort of lock-on accuracy to help you. As for the actual mission, I don't care if it's called rush, unless you're confident, DON'T. Just fly normal speed and shoot all the things that slow you down.
