Are there any tricks to beat a LvL 120 Infested Juggernaught

[Luther848]

In case you don't know there is a Design Council Challenge mission that is basically a lvl 120 Defense with a Jugger at the end of all the waves. I don't know how you can beat him with melee especially considering that even my Chroma can only take like 3 hits before dying. I don't want to call bull but it seems unbeatable with melee only.

Edit:

He killed me while I was invisible and he was facing a different direction.

Wait for it to expose its belly. 

Or use Nidus 1, it stabs it in the belly very consistently. 

 

Or combine corrosive and viral damage to poison

Since they nerfed the finisher with cover lethality i have no idea how to kill it.Maybe with the redemeer?

When I was fighting the Juggy it mostly did the quill attack, occasionally chaged, and only raised it's belly like twice. I don't know if we were just unlucky but that was my experience.

Fatal Teleport usual does the job nicely.

Nidus is an easy option. Mesa works extremely well, if you don't mind being revived occasionally. Beyond that, use Valkyr or Wukong and go nuts with a slash melee.

It's at the end of the Defense so there are no other enemies and it has armor so it doesn't take much damage. 

How does operator mode help?

[Kylo.]

Kavat to remove armour.

Valkyr's Hysteria.

[ZinGrin]

Turn melee auto lock on if it is off.

Wukong + your favorite melee.  (Valkyr works too)

Face him away from pod best you can.

Attack till dead.

you may recall that finishers dont work on juggernauts now, So unless you plan to spam attack it with that repeatedly and whittle away its HP...

[Trichouette]

I was playing oberon and didn't expect the juggernaut.

Then I just pressed 1 1 1 1 1 111111111111 like crazy and it died because of the insane %hp damage > 2k damage per projectile, 15 projectiles per cast... gg wp ez

It actually does not stab the belly I think, at 100 stacks you just deal so much raw damage that even the percentual reduction of the juggernaut won't help much. I just hit it with my nidus a couple of times and it dealt like 7k per hit, full damage would be around 45k on my build.

[Sar.K.Asmus]

Loki + Zenistar and he died^^

Just don't throw parasitic link on it and everything will be fine

[Chipputer]

Stay at a range and spam Smite.

It was? What did the patch do?

[(XBOX)FOCHOCLTstrfish]

I used table and the other 3 people aggro it.

[(XBOX)D34thst41ker]

I tried this with Octavia and Valkyr, and failed both times. Full group in the first, got it down to about a quarter health, then it started ignoring us and nuked the cryopod for instant fail. Second time was with Valkyr, 0.8 base drain on Hysteria, and on the rare occasion where I actually managed to land a hit (auto-target insisted on having me stand on it's back instead of the ground), I did 0 damage. I am using Atterax, and it does no damage either. I literally cannot do a single point of damage to this thing unless it's a Madurai beam (which does 200 damage a tick) or an operator beam (which crits for a measly 30 damage). I cannot conceive of a way to actually do this fight within the time limit imposed by the fact that it is an alert.

Patch 20.2.0 on PC

• Fixed Ash being able to insta-kill the Juggernaut by doing a finisher. Finishers are unable to be performed on the Juggernaut/Juggernaut Behemoth.

I managed to bring it down with Oberon, who was quite effective at the whole mission. Percent health damage on Smite is wonderful. In addition, he kept the squad topped up on health (when they didn't get one-shot), extended bleedout timers for when they were one-shot, and cleared out all that nasty goo the thing was spreading everywhere. The only thing that would have made things better would have been if someone on the team could have weakened its Armor (Oberon couldn't because Reckonig doesn't affect Juggernauts). Good times.

[hatchetman]

Operator can kill it in a few seconds if you hit it's weak spots.  If you die you just go back to your hidden warframe and then you just go back to operator mode.

[Gravitus123]

I did a few tests after i beat the mission.I believe a Peacemaker Mesa can kill it in about 15 seconds but the Juggernaut must expose its weakpoints toward you.Just get somewhere high up and make sure its aggroed on you use 4 and just keep holding down fire.When it exposes its weakpoints it will take a lot of damage and it should die quickly

[SeaUrchins]

Sonar and oneshot.
