SP Europa Ošė (interception)

[(XBOX)Player244024418]

Ok so I cleared all SP Europa except Ose and just ran it solo (tried). Could not even capture a single tower at all. Got it to +54% then it started going down, lost. My lich appeared. I had a vapor spectre and a rolling spectre with me. Nothing. It was a sea of eximus literally from the first 5 seconds. Usually you get a bit of time to capture a tower. The enemies were so numerous and kept coming it was insane. I thought I could build my stacks on my merciless arcanes. Nope. Wasn't enough. Just waaaaay too many. Never seen so many until maybe like 30-40 minutes into a SP survival, and with a full squad of four.

I know they're ramping up difficulty but my goodness that was too much, DE. Sheesh.

1. Control frame, I prefer Khora built for range and duration (standard 40% str double Aug build)

2. High enemy radar (Khora's Venari double Primed Animal Instinct helps).

3. Control enemies (do not kill) at one of the spots - they usually rush the first caputured spot. Only kill between rounds (it is not even necesary as the next round will start after some time regardless whether you kill stuff or not).

4. If you are overwhelmed at one of the spots just go to the ones that have little or zero enemies. You do not need to have 4 spots captured, 2/3 are fine. Khora's Dome instantly gives you control over the spot as long as all the enemies are cced.

5. Have some kind of interrupt for Eximus units hacking - I prefer Magus Lockdown. Ensnare works but their overguard needs to be down first.

Killing enemies only produces the same amount of enemies, instantly respawning on other sides of the map where they are not cced and obviously has a chance of more Eximus spawning.

The other day I soloed Archon Interception this way.

Khora. Open your map overlay (press M) (i run map overlay on Disruption and Defection as well).

Grab a spot somewhere on the outskirts (not the central one). Move to the spot on the opposite side. Grab it. Come back to 1st spot put a 4 on it/kill any eximus. Go to center, grab it, go to third spot, grab it. Put the 4 on spots that are being attacked (you can have two at the time). KIll enemies sparingly as killing them will only make them spawn in other places on map while not cced.

Monitor the situation on map (amount of enemies moving, consoles being attacked) and act accordingly.

Other frame options are Octavia, Limbo or Sleep Equinox/Baruuk, but the technique is a little different.

Hmmm, have you run this node recently? I was using revenant and used enthrall, until it no longer worked, and had two spectres and could not capture even one tower. There were so many enemies swarming, already at the first tower before I even got there (tried three times). Everytime the enemies beat me to the tower.

So I went to the far back location the third time thinking I'll beat then there. And I was able to capture it but the moment I went to another tower before the indicator entered white % numbers the first tower I captured was already lost. And I void sling between towers super fast.

The amount of enemies was ridonculous lol. 

I'm going to wait a bit and try again, hoping DE makes some adjustments because ive noticed huge differences in # of enemies in nodes. Especially ESO. Ive also gotten some survey questions asking "how would you rate the difficulty in Warframe today?" So they are certainly making changes lately. Got that three times in the last few weeks, or so.

I never liked Khora for some reason I don't "get" her kit at all, but I'll try her though my Khora has zero forma so I suppose there goes whatever forma I've been able to accumulate last few days haha. Going on vaca and accumulated forma BPs last couple days so with the app I should be swimming in forma in a couple weeks.

Dont need any forma or even potato. Slap all duration and range mods you have on her, maybe also Streamline/Flow. Run Zenurik and some energy pads.

She will not have a use for STR especially if you lack her auguments (for 1 and 4) and proper stat stick (she doesnt use STR with those either i guess).

Try a Slow Nova. Subsume Pillage for shield-gating.

The goal is to hold three points  while the enemy is at one point CCed with all his troops.

I just tested if its really "impossible", have fun with the footage.

[Zakkhar]

Ah, yes Slow Nova is another control possibility.

Just did it myself with Khora, Took me 6 minutes (mostly having all 4 nodes up). I wanted to check wether I can do it without killing anything, but sadly Acolyte said no. I kept majority of my enemies on C. And a bit on D.

Start, put 4 on C and grab it, go to B and grab it (was empty), back to C refresh 4 on it, go to D/A grab it, back to C to refresh the duration of 4. 

Observe. I thinnk I had 3-4 eximus total and only one had an idea what he was doing.

I think Khora 4 making you instantly take control of the node without the need to kill stuff makes it trivial.

I'm clearly not thinking about leaving enemies alive during interception missions and using that to prevent new spawns. Good tip. Nova is not in my wheelhouse and even if Nova was I don't want to use several forma on a Nova right now. At some point I'll try with Khora after cooling down about all the bugs and lost progress ive experienced  in WF recently. But I do appreciate the replies. Revenant is clearly a great frame but just not equipped for a node like this as solo play, even with two spectres and full thralls going. I was going to try nekros but the summoned won't move to other nodes. I thought about my hildryn with subsumed elemental ward but I should be able to do it with my Khora.

Yeah strength would work against you. I would think you don't want to kill, just capture and hold in the dome so the lowest strength possible is best. Capture and hold as long as possible to prevent new enemies from spawning elsewhere.

[(XBOX)Player244024418]

My 1 forma Khora with a potato and R3 arcane energize got 70% of the first message and enemies got 100% 

I was unable to cast 4 in the beginning until I killed some enemies I think.

Forgot about zenurik and the energy pads. What are energy pads and where do you get them? Tried to look it up on wiki and nothing comes up. Found it. Squad Energy Restore I assume.

Starting energy can be taken care with:

1. Leaving some of the capacity on your frame.

2. Yellow shard (likely out of your reach atm)

3. Preparation mod (likely out of your reach atm). Once you get it remember to not max rank it because all frames always start with some energy.

4. Zenurik - it allows first cast for free (Inner Might), gives a regen (wellspring).

5. (Primed) Flow + Squad Energy Restore. As you need to stay at the point for a while.

Even with maxed STR Khora dome is not capable of killing SP enemies, by itself. STR is simply wasted on Khora, because only ability scaling with it is her Whipclaw (1) and her 1 has augument that gives 350% str/dmg to it. Not to mention this ability also scales with other %dmg. Range and duration are much better both for control play as well as nuking.

 

PS: All this time I assume you want the challenge of completing it solo. But if for some reason you just want the node completed I could help.

There is only one message, it is not a sortie. Mission is complete after a timer (hidden) evenn if you fail to kill enemies (annoucer makes a big deal of nnot doing that).

[(XBOX)Player244024418]

I do have preparation and was thinking that before I saw your reply. I slotted it in instead of enemy Sense...not sure what I was thinking there since my kavat had primed animal instinct.

I would up just repeating the mission, forgot about zenurik again but just went for it. Having the strangledome immediately helped big-time, as well as forcing myself to not shoot! 😎

I think it was 100% to 12% at the end or 17%

I died three times tho. Once while doing the .mission which probably helped since I ran out of energy for the dome. Twice trying to clear the tileset since Khora is a wet sponge.

Oh and thanks for the help guys. Forgot to say thx!
