How yall dealing with the 1999 tank?

[Suskun Durgun]

Personally i like using Hildryn for it since she can float and shoot the weak points on 1st phase thats on the top of the tank easily without much need for aiming or worrying about acid on the ground.
On phase 2 she can float the enemies so tank doesnt heal back from them.
Only problem is on phase 1 if youre doing solo you gotta cancel your 4 and grab the rocket launchers.

Any other strategy/frames that works well against tank ?

Which of the 3 tanks are you asking about ?

[Tasha Vulpine]

Nyx with Assimilate, Primed Flow and good energy economy. Just slowly wear the tank down while it can't do anything to you. Just don't get hit by the puddles.

revenant. wont die as long as you keep his 2 up. his 4 makes killing the adds in the healing phase easy.
for weapons, i use anything that does a few hard hits with easy time hitting the weak spots. like the sybaris, it has burst fire with good damage, and extra nice if you got the incarnon mode.

[Zanzuki]

Stropha is a great pick IMO because its projectiles pierce the tank and can hit multiple weakpoints at the same time. ALSO it does a truckload of damage

[FubarOne]

Mirage clone build with Halikar Wraith using Melee Doughty on a combo build. Clears out the weak points in ~3 throws, each damage phase is 1-2 throws since it just does so much damage. No need to pick up rocket launchers when it's doing as much damage already.

Farming out the Accolades for H-09 SP gave me a pretty solid loadout. That being:
- Latron Incarnon (easy armor strip for p1 & good damage output)
- Laetum (anticrit, for shooting balloons & eximus)
- Sampotes (built for slams for p2 + Melee Afflictions for status damage on the tank)
- Wyrm Prime (built around resetting the cooldown of Negate as often as possible)

Rolling Guard is also hugely beneficial (particularly when running a shieldgating setup & you didn't have Negate up for getting hit by acid clouds).

P1: Pop the weakpoints, strip the tank's armor, gun down balloons & RPG units with Laetum, repeat once.
P2: Literally just spam heavy slam & let the waves do the work for you. Remember that the beginning of the second healing segment spawns nullifying rocket towers & to blow those up before they can start shooting at you.

Enjoy your accolades.

Dante...with a Glaive (Xoris).. Ans the Tennet Cycron for the weakpoints...

For the normal fights, Titania also works pretty well. Same concept; hover and shoot.

Arca Titron Hulk Smash with Wisp

[JOKER]

smash magistar build + incarnon latron, that's how I got all Glyph accolades from doing the SP Apex tank in solo mode. for the warframe mods... pure tank build with arcane nullifier

[Douchebag Extraordinaire]

Besides just staying in the air with a good incarnon weapon?

Zephyr has a mini tornadoes build that nukes the boss in all phases.

It's not particularly difficult aside from the tick damage from stuff but any frame with any weapon can do it (have solo'd Apex with Excal MK-1 Brat, Late, Skana) with a rolling guard+psf even against the Apex.

[IRMcG]

Titania. Just fly around it shooting the growths off and picking off the drones that appear. Energy cap and regen on mine is so high I rarely need to land to drop a pizza.

The fight is tedious and annoying with the way the infested phase wiggles around, so I don't really bother with the bounties, but I also used Hildryn and for most of the reasons you already listed

The thing I find tedious about it is the healing phase that doesn't seem to do much except waste your time while it is invincible and nothing in the arena is going to pose any real threat to you while the tank isn't attacking. So you both just stand there for a long time.

They're not a threat to you. You just supposed to clear them to prevent them from healing the tank, like with Tridolons.

Honestly, I feel like the actual fight was designed as the Apex version, and then had the various elements removed or dumbed down for the normal versions.
