What Focus Path should choose?

[The Flash]

Just at the end of the second dream quest!

What focus patch should i choose? whats the best?

[Spook]

Uhh. Ehhh.

Look up what they do, I guess. I still can't see myself ever using something other than Zenurik for the energy regen. Using my abilities without a trinity has always seemed more interesting than any of the other options to me.

Zenurik gives you alot of energy
Madurai gives you damage buff
Unairu gives you armor buff
Vazarin gives you health buff
Naramon is just there, like with random tiny melee buffs

[Watermelons]

Madurai is all about damage, increasing your weapon damage and the damage of your impending Operator mode. You will also be able to increase the ammo of Amps, but that won't be available until you complete the War Within and Saya's Sigil.

Vazarin is about health and healing and instant revives.

Naramon is about melee and Operator speed.

Zenurik is about energy.

Unairu is about armor, yours and enemy armor. As well as damage deflection.

[Spook]

To immediately counteract other summaries: Do not go for Unairu because of armor. The armor it offers is pretty terrible. On the other hand, Unairu probably has the largest number of unique seeming abilities with an arguable use. Look into them and see if they'd really catch your eye.

edit: Oh, and if you're looking into it, make sure whatever info you find is about focus 2.0

Doesn't really counter act the summaries. More of just an added note.

AFK Energy - Zenurik (5 mana per second)
Additional Damage - Madurai (30% phys + 30% elem IIRC)

I dont like others but Vazarin can be useful for insta revives.

which found the most useful

thanks for suggestions cheers

Continue on to the War Within and then Saya's Vigil in the Plains of Eidolon, to open up the Focus system further.

i would highly recommend you open up zenurik and invest in energizing dash and then in energy pulse. this will give you energy regeneration which is something that will help you a lot for pretty much the whole time you are gonna be playing warframe. as for the rest you should focus on the way bounds if you are planing on using your operator to hunt eidolons or simply playing with him in missions.

i wouldnt say tiny. that combo counter were it goes down by 5 hits is really amazing for melee builds. like say a def you no longer lose that entire stack of combo just cause of the long time between waves starting up.
(side note i would gladly keep this over getting shadow step back lol)
plus extra xp is nice xp. the extra tenno speed is nice as well.
i would say naramon is melee and operator speed focused

maybe you're right, i haven't checked naramon much since focus 2.0

[bobes sponja]

madurai for damage zenurik for free energy

[The Shadow]

Pick Naramon and invest in melee affinity + 1 level in combo (in the top right of the focus tree)

You can get insane levels of affinity for any focus school by getting them in the plains of eidolon, and using appropriate methods (equinox sleep build with spear and meming strike if you have it, or just getting a lot of stealth kills with loki/ash/ivara...). You can also jut use the obelix method if you don't like stealth and kill everything with your melee weap with a melee warframe like excalibur, valkyr, wukong etc, but it will be slower, though still effective if you are strong enough to fight very high level ennemies on your own, in high level survival sorties for example.

Also, the combo buff is insanely good, because even if you don't find ennemies for a littler longer, you won't lose all your combo at once. Even though it seems to bug out and not work sometimes, but when it does it's one of the best buffs in the game for a melee playstile if you build around combos.
Arguably the best tree in the game to do long endless missions vs very high level ennemies solo or farm focus.

To activate any focus bonus, be sure to use your operator once at the very beginning of the mission to get the bonus (be it madurai dmg buff, naramon affinity buff/combo etc).
