Yes yes, I know many of you may disagree with the existence of Ceres Draco or simply dislike it, but in my opinion it is still the easiest way to obtain Affinity. This post is a guide to show you how to run this missionmost effectively.
Speaking of Affinity, let me first explain how it works:
The Obvious-
Affinity (more easily identified as EXP) is what you obtain by killing enemies, completing objectives, or hacking consoles etc. (It is used to increase the levels on your gear)
What you want to know-
Affinity is channeled into your gear in this format:
Warframe: 25% of Affinity gained
Primary: 25% of Affinity gained
Secondary: 25% of Affinity gained
Melee: 25% of Affinity gained
How to make the most of this-
Knowing that all Affinity is distributed equally throughout your gear, you can equip limited amounts of items to maximize it forspecificitems:
Example-
Warframe: 25%
Primary: 75%
What I did above was simply taking out the secondary and melee andBAM, you instantly get more affinity for the primary weapon. (You can do this with secondary or melee as well.)
Important Note:
You may be hyped right now knowing that you can level up weapons much faster by only equipping one item, but wait, there's a catch. You can only gain affinity for your weapons(no, Saryn doesn't count as a weapon in this case) if you use either a Primary, Secondary, or Melee to get the kills. If you decide to bring a cc frame like ember and demolish everything with her 4,no affinity will be sent to your other weapons.
What do I do now?
The best way to counter this downside is to bringone weapon that can actually kill enemiesandanother weapon solely for levelingpurposes. (Unequip your sentinel or kubrow as well) In the end, what your loadoutmight look like is this:
Warframe (preferably a tanky frame like Inaros or Rhino for survivability): 25% affinity
Primary (your killing machine): 37.5% Affinity
*Skips Secondary
Melee (the thing you need to level up): 37.5% Affinity
-->(If you stay within 50 meters of your allies, any affinity they get from kills will go to you as well.)
All the information I posted above is for aggressively upgrading a specific weapon and also for when you run Ceres Draco with a random squad. If you want to take this to the next step, follow the information below~
MLG Team Draco
If you are running Draco with a squad of friends or people you know/you can talk to, consider doing the mission this way:
At the begining of each wave, capture 3-4 towers to get a boost. After you see your interception percentage higher than the enemies, ignore 2 out of the 4 towers so it takes longer to complete and more enemies can spawn. I prefer to sustain only tower D and C because they are more centralized and any enemies killed are almost guaranteed to be within 50 meters.
As soon as you exit the elevator, you should notice two black(ish) boxes immediately to your right. Those boxes are your camping spot as the waves progress.
RJ Excal- Your Radial Javelin is the group's primary damage dealer. After you help capture a point, rush back to the black boxes and spam 3.
Frost- Your sole purpose is to protect your team from damage. After you help capture a point, rush back to the black boxes and keep your snow globe up.
EV Trinity- Your purpose, well, is to EV. After you capture a point, head back to the black boxes you found to the right of the elevator, stand on them, and spam 2.
I hope this guide helped you maximize your Draco experience as well as explained some of the mechanics relating to affinity.
