Is there a better affinity farm for warframes now?

[Umbreon™]

It feels like Hydron has become a total slog and with so many people leaving at wave 5 or 10 it makes me need to rerun it a total of like five times before I *maybe* max out the frame I'm leveling. And this is while I'm getting the most kills in each mission with my weapon. I know about warframe kills giving better affinity to the frame, but when you use a warframe that doesn't kill directly with abilities too often, you're limited to your own weapon kills.

It's just as if Hydron suddenly got nerfed or something because it's slower than ever. I'd like to do sanctuary onslaught since it's miles better for affinity (even with how many leechers it has), but it can only be done with a R30 warframe equipped. I'm just wondering if there's a better node by now that I'm missing out on.

friend recently suggested Akkad on Eris and it does alright, but it doesnt seem to be super popular so shared affinity is rough

Akkad used to be great but for some reason it eventually got slower and slower until it got really tedious. And yeah, it's not popular so now you have to get lucky to get a full squad.

To level a frame? I just grab a melee weapon & naramon, and hit Gabii on Ceres. It's kinda zen, honestly

For weapons, I take Ivara over to do some high level spy missions. You can ghost them pretty darn quick with some practice.

Hydron is too slow and unreliable now, hence why I made this thread. Mostly because people keep leaving at wave 5 or 10. If people went to 20 it'd be a lot easier to max out frames, but that's not what people do at all.

i believe people leave at 10 because it's technically faster leveling to run 10's than it is to run to 20. i generally just follow the host

It is actually largely slower. I've had to run hydron so many times because people keep leaving around that wave count.

Guess I just don't encounter that problem
10-15 waves hydron is fairly consistent for me, and a fast 10 definitely feels like it adds up to faster xp gain than a slower 20.

Even at 10 waves, I don't really see how it is slow personally speaking

[Henry of Skalitz]

Steel Path Hydron provides a 66% boost to affinity when compared to normal hydron.
Still, both SO and ESO are way faster than that.

You can also max your frame in like 5 minutes or so by having a friend with a sleepquinox build. The method is similar to farming focus solo with an equinox.

Having to do it upwards of 6 times when the entire mission takes a good while already is very slow. This is also while I have the most kills in the squad every time. 15 waves is good however, as that's when Eximus enemies really start to show up regularly. But people still seem to refuse to go past 10.

Good suggestions, however I prefer to not drag my friends into farms and I'm too far away in steel path like to make use of any nodes from it. Thanks though.
