How the ♥♥♥♥♥ are you supposed to survive Profit Taker?

[King of Sorrow]

I mean, I've done the bounties prior to the fight, but actually trying to attempt the fight has resulted in nothing but going to the battleground, and instantly dying!

A close buddy who isn't even near cap for Solaris United is swearing that I need a 100p mod called "Adaptation" to get the survivability I need, and that's some ♥♥♥♥ I can't afford. Plat's never been easy to make for me, and it's worse than ever now. Any particular protips for getting some survivability so I can actually get Profit Taker kills?

[Grey Star, The Rival Defender]

Are you using more than just Vitality?
Are you even using Vitality?

Did you bring something that dies when sneezed upon such as Ivara, Banshee, Mag?

[GunsForBucks]

It is an advanced fight and can take some advanced mods.. also some frames will be better than others.

I would clear the star chart and start doing Arbitrations. That is where you can get Adaption for free.

[Ivara Ara]

Yeah that friend of yours know nothing then. That mod is a luxury, not a must. I do it solo with a Chroma using Rubico P, Catchmoon and a redeemer prime.

[PeripheralVisionary]

Some frames use their abilities to survive more than others. Then, there's just avoiding hits.

[Walrus-Sama]

First, Adaptation won't solve your problem. It's only good when you use it correctly.

Second, Profit Taker fight is pretty intense, enemies and Profit Taker do a lot of damage. For that reason frames with a lot of survivablity are prefered. Even then I've found even some Tank frames like Rhino can have issues in this fight.

Chroma is most common choice, he has survivablity and a damage buff, he's the 'Boss Killer' frame afterall.

[Aerond]

Bring high str and high shield Revenant with your best weapons.

The problem being, I have a 6 forma Chroma Prime, and can't survive the fight at all. I don't get how you're supposed to avoid brightly colored attacks on a whiteout condition. Furthermore, I still need that 100p survival mod just to do the content. To answer other questions...

I've tried as Trinity Prime (who can't survive enough to get the "immortality engine" of EV > Link > Blessing going, Chroma Prime (Who dies once the fight starts up), and Rhino (regular. Prime's too expensive and plat's impossible to make.) - who dies instantaneously once buffed up yet paper thin iron skin goes down.

I mean, I guess I can use an excuse to quit Warframe, but I rather enjoy it minus this nonsencial blockade of Vox Solaris that's stopping my proper amp building.

Can't do arbitrations since the star chart is no longer actively run en masse. I lack the capability and skill to do interceptions solo, and they're only the beginning of the problems. Thus - it remains incomplete.

If your struggling with interceptions solo take any long range cc or nuke frame, i would highly recommend Nyx as a personal choice since her chaos will cause enemies to attack eachother so not only stops them from taking objectives but also turns them into little sentries to defend objectives from existing enemies

Second Profit Taker (PT) is hard to solo because corpus units constantly spawn and PT constantly shoots homing rockets, laser beams and other consistent damage outputs, this is why Adaptation is almost mandatory on Chroma in PT fight since it gives damage reduction on damage types you are hit by and PT fight is just constant sustained damage, even with Adaptation you still need good "awareness" to make use of the mod correctly.

If you dont have a Chroma with Adaptation i would highly recommend using a different frame with more survivability, best choice is probably Oberon due to the high sustain he has which can offset the large amount of continuous damage you receive from PT fight, Downside with Oberon is the lack of damage which becomes an issue in the final stage of the fight where you are given 5 minutes to deplete PT's shield and kill it, You need a high damage weapon to compensate for the damage you will lose if you pick Oberon over Chroma.

Finally PT isnt meant to be a soloable fight unless the player is capable, dont take offense to this but if your struggling to complete interception missions solo i would not recommend trying to beat this fight on your own, try recruit chat or just load into a public instance of the mission and you will have more luck.

[PeripheralVisionary]

Rhino is not a tank. If anything, he is the most well rounded frame in the game, with health and shield stats on the high end. You are better off with Inaros, Nidus, or Wukong in terms of not dying in general, with emphasis on Inaros.

Sounds like this is the main issue. If you can't do just a single round of a regular star chart interception solo, why are you trying to solo an endgame boss?

[primobrainlet]

Clearing the ads is the key to this fight, and I HIGHLY reccomend getting together with some other randoms (you with a supportive or ad clearer since everyone normally goes dps for randoms) and taking it down that way

[massgunner32]

Wich is your best gear?

Meanwhile:
Try finding something rare and tradeable, sell enough of it to get platinum and use platinum to buy rolling guard from soem players, it grants you some invulnerability (nine seconds cooldown BTW) and cleans status effects, usefull for the hard to avoid attacks.

[!nstinct]

use wukong youll never die ez

[Xhal]

Fully decked out chroma with 299% power strength.

Dual elevate arcanes to infinite heal yourself.

Bring a rubico and a good kitgun.

W/E archgun with triple physicals you prefer, I use Imperator Vandal.

Wreck it as your teammates watch in awe from the sidelines.
