I would farm parts if at all possible, but its ultimately up to if the price is worth the trade-off in time spent doing missions and then what you intend to do with the warframe once you have it.

But should I? 

I always suggest farming, save the plat for the primes you want but are vaulted. Nidus is the worst out of the three you listed. Just look for a premade and it should go quick. I have farmed her three different times now to help friends out. Not sure I would do the same for Nidus... rotation C is a monster (for any drop).

Its definitely not as bad a farm as Nidus or Harrow.. its just very lengthy because each fight takes ages.

I personally bought her only because my laptop kinda sputters in the Exploiter Orb fight and its tedious long for my potato machine. Other than that, the fight is fairly easy so I would vote to farm if you can.. Atleast try.

+1 for farm her. 

You get many different ressources, 12K Toroids (good for standing) and don't forget the Freezing Step & Shocking Step Ephemeras. With a good squad, you can do a easy-run in 5 -max 10 minutes. You dodn't need to fly back to Fortuna, kill this beast an go back into the cave.  😉

Farm her.

You must consider that she's meant as an endgame reward, one that drops from one Orb Mother. It's not that she's a top tier frame, or that it is difficult to get her. It's just that she's at a spot that new players can't get her easily, as she's locked both behind "endgame" and an event.

The main point here is that there's lots of other frames that you are able to get much earlier. Because other than the conditions I speak above, she's very easy to farm. Really, she's just in a boss fight like any other. No bs like with Khora or Nidus where you have to play entire game modes for over and over because one of the rotations refuses to hand you the frame part.

At least that's my opinion. If you really want her badly, well... I guess no regrets in just getting her faster with plat. As long as you do enjoy her and as long it's worth it.

If you can access the mission, then definitely farm her.  Even if you don't get the BPs that quickly, the Exploiter drops a ton of other resources that will help with building Fortuna items.  Plus there are a couple Ephemeras that can drop, and the fight is really easy once you understand what to do.  You just need a frame that can take a hit and decently powerful weapons.

Farm.  It's an easy fight that takes a handful of minutes and rewards a ton of random Fortuna materials anyway.

The only thing is that cannon during the first half, it can be a pain to deal with without some form of mitigation, Zephyr's been my go-to frame for Exploiter.

I think it's supposed to be restricted by the amount of Thermia you farm, but I'm not actually sure since it has never actually consumed any of mine.

Farm her, if you don't wanna farm, maybe reconsider playing the game all together. 

Not to be mean, it's just that once you buy her, you'll use her to farm something else. And if farming is a problem, you'll start spending plats to skip the grind. All until you bought everything you want, have nothing else to grind toward and then nothing to do with your shiny stuff...

But you know yourself better than me, you do you.

Just know, farming hyldrin is not that bad. Even if you don't have thermia, people generally rush to use theirs. Even when trying to I would rarely get to use mine.

That said, I can't remember if you need to be max rank in fortuna for exploiter, as I was profit taker ready when she came out. That would be a good point toward buying her.

 

TLDR, try to farm, it's what warframe is all about. But you do you Tenno

to be fair, Hildryn is not really worth the farm or buy 😞

shes a very boring frame, that's VERY niche. you can either build her like a shield version of innaros, or as an Iron man team buffer..

Both playstyles are very boring 😞

I fell into the trap and bought her, potato and exilus instantly... and within a week immediately regretted my decision, now I like never play her 😞
