Steel Path Circuit Tips

[pcdeltalink]

Hadn’t played the game for several months. Come back and see incarnons exist and are op as hell. Most locked behind this circuit. Never really done steel path before. Got some decent frames set up for it now but still struggling completing circuit missions.

Also struggling with steel path weapons. Atm Nataruk is the only primary I have that seems to handle them easily. Have tried others but they don’t seem to do nearly as well.

My intrinsics are decent at this point for the non horse categories (7 - 9).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Latron Prime was my first prime so many years ago. I really would love to upgrade it. Thanks.

depends on what decrees you get. the default mods are pretty trash in SP Duviri, but if you manage to get good decrees, then you should hit 8 with no issues.

what are good decress? the ones that increase your damage.

experiment and find out what is good for your setup.

if you're not good at min/max, then it'll be harder for you and 8 rounds is probably beyond your reach until you can understand the damage modifiers on what to pick to maximize your loadout

The basic idea is to get frames and weapons that can handle the steel path and then cycle the circuit by doing one round of the regular solo circuit until you get those weapons and frames. The unfortunate reality is that the default gear that DE setup really isn't up to snuff for the SP circuit. You can hope you get carried, and a lot of times you will, but it's a lot easier when you at least have some good gear.

For weapons, you can start with the Zariman stuff. Phenmor and Latum in particular are really good. You've also got tons of options with Liches and Sister. Frames really can be whatever. They just need to have potatoes and maxed out mods with some type of survivability. For mods, you should have (maxed out) galvanized mods if you've already done the base star chart. But even standard redirection, vitality, and rolling guard are often good enough for most frames for at least 4-6 rounds.

Warframe with exalted weapons should be a priority because their weapons will always be built.

You don't have to min/max them, just build them up a bit. 1-2 formas is more than plenty. Bane/Smite/Expel Corrupted mods would be great if you have them.
