high level build advice and some general questions


Sol420

Question

I'm a player that's been out of the loop for about 3 or 4 months now and am starting to get back into the swing of things but I have some questions I haven't been able to find a straight answer to. At least, not one that is less than a couple years old. I've done all the quests except for heart of deimos so there's no danger of spoiling anything for the most part.

1) What kind of mods do you typically use to not get destroyed by higher level enemies? I did a few railjack missions in saturn and if it wasn't for excal's radial blind, I'd have been burning through my lives. I have maxed redirection and vitality on pretty much everything, even steel fiber on ones that have really high armor so I'm not sure what else to add on to it without sacrificing power. I haven't paid much attention to arcanes though, so I have a feeling that's part of it but the effects never looked particularly substantial.

2) building off of that, is elemental damage still viable at higher levels? or is pure crit more effective? I generally prefer building for elemental damage for most weapons but it seemed to be less effective whenever I touch anything higher than level 60. My typical setup is radiation for grineer, magnetic for corpus, and corrosive for infested.

3) is hydron still the best place for warframe levelling? It's still popular since I'm able to find a squad almost immediately, but most people seem to recommend it for weapons more that frames.

4) Do I have to do something specific to unlock part 5 of glassmaker? or is it just not out yet?

5) Also, how long is glassmaker going to be? I dropped off the wagon not long before it went live and I don't remember the previous nightwave series lasting nearly this long. I kinda want the ship but I have no idea what time frame I'm working with here.

I'd appreciate any advice at all! Thanks!

Abilities that control enemies or that make myself tankier.

Only Inaros and maybe Nidus, Valkyr can do without abilities.

Status vs Crit?
Yea Status is fine, Viral+Heat for Grineer and Infested. Toxin and more Toxin I guess for Corpus.

Sanctuary Onslaught is better imo.

Not out yet.

Until DE tells us when it ends.

Helene Saturn might be a better option to hydron. Same defense tile, negligible difference in xp. More relevant resource drops. The defenses are used for frames because you can’t take a below 30 frame to eso, you can also do regular onslaught for frames tho. Especially if you want to farm khora/lith relics.
