what skills/abilities/mechanics work in the index?

[psyclum]

one of the most frustrating things about warframe since i started playing is the lack of information and the index is no different. there are things in this game that DE simply expects players to miraculously "know" like what skills/abilities/game mechanic DOESN'T work on certain contents.... so... here are some questions about the index...

I have heard from one of the youtubers (by no means official information source but at least there is "some" information) that the mobs inside the index are immune to finisher damage? can anyone confirm this?

there are also some talks of certain abilities such as trinity's energy vampire wont work in the index?

I have NO idea what "other" the restrictions there are in the index since I don't think i know enough to even ask the questions.... I'm still trying to figure out what works and doesn't work in the arena to earn points for rathume....

wiki wasn't much help either for rathume and since index is new i doubt there are anything there that would be helpful...

so anyone? help?

I know that Volt can stun'em with the augment, saw one doing that in one of my PUGS, and Mag's Magnetize halfway works; it doesn't immobilize the targets and the duration is cut, but the damage increase is still there.

Excal is pretty much a bust when running the Index, none of his abilities really work.

I've had decent success with Rhino. Iron Skin will carry you until you can get Zenurik's Energy Overflow kicked in, in which you can judiciously Roar and Stomp the map.

That said, most frames will do decently well in Index until you get to Endurance.

Nova is pretty much reduced to two abilities, and one of them is only any good with an augment. Anti-matter drop is kinda okay if you can use it to absorb enemy fire with the augment.

It uses PvP abilities, for the most part. Just look a the data for them ingame (in conclave arsenal) or on the wiki.
