archon shards?

[[Gravitons]]

the last time i grind for them shards is when i decide to filled Voruna with 5 big shards of different colors, most are red for melee crits. and i randomly got the motivation to farm these shards again, but i don't know what the fastest way to get it other than doing archon hunt. i know that netrocell is one of em, but i dont think me and most of my warframes are built for it nor do i have the right mods/built for doing netrocell. i can see myself getting nuked randomly by an eximus two minutes into the game mode and i aint gonna embarrass myself by doing it public either

1. Archon hunt = 1 per week
2. High Cavia standing = 1 per week for 30k standing (edited standing cost. I confused it with another purchase)
3. Netracells = 5 runs per week with a chance at shards or other rewards
4. Archimedea = spend 2 "netracell pulses" to unlock a set of missions that can earn 3 rewards from the netracell pool, but with better odds. Weekly
5. Elite Archimedea = replacement for regular Archimedea with the same cost of 2 pulses but gives up to 5 rewards with better odds. Requires doing a "perfect" normal archinedea to be able to choose this as an option for future weeks


Edit: if you're struggling with survival here are a few things to work towards
1. Unlock and run arbitrations to earn the Adaptation and Rolling Guard mods. Adaptation is a reliable stacking defensive layer that makes OTHER sources of defenses even better. Rolling Guard gives you a way to remove status effects on shield-reliant warframes as well as giving up to 3 seconds of invulnerability.
2. Maybe invest in a copy of Arcane Guardian. The 900 armor is extremely useful for "health tanking" warframes especially when combined with adaptation or an ability that gives direct damage reduction
3. The Helminth system gives you access to many abilities that can provide additional survivability. Harrow's Condemn is a cheap, fast, and effective source of shields, Hildryn's Pillage is a slower source of shields but doubles as status removal and armor strip, Mirage's Eclipse is not only one of the strongest attack buffs in the game but can also be held-cast to instead provide up to 75% damage reduction. There are other abilities that give armor or healing, but this gives you an idea.
4. The companion set mod Synth Deconstruct when combined with a companion that damages a lot of enemies gives a reliable source of health orbs (such as the common Diriga status primer builds you see around). Combine this with the warframe mod Health Conversion to provide up to 1350 armor. This works especially well with the mod equilibrium to give consistent energy for maintaining abilities (this is admittedly a very high cost to pay due to the significant drains of these mods in addition to their lack of core stats)

netracells isn't that serious, even just using saryn's spores once can outperform 20% of the random pubs and no one bats an eye.
if you are still worried about dying, just stay mobile and in the air at a distance, it's almost impossible to die that way.

To edit the above.

1. Archon Hunt. Guaranteed Archon Shard with an increasing chance to reward a Tauforged Shard (up to 80%) until you get one (then resets back to 20% chance).

2. Cavia Standing = 1 per week for 30k Standing, not 50k.

Search Pulses: 5 per week.

3. Netracells = Consumes 1 Search Pulse per completed run. Regular chance: 52.5% for a Regular Shard, 12.51% for a Tauforged Shard per run.

4. Archimedea (requires Rank 5 Cavia). Unlocks using 2 Search Pulses, can only receive rewards once per week. Three back to back missions and grants rewards from 3 pools.

- Pool A = 52.5% for Regular. 12.51% for Tauforged.
- Pool B = 39.39% for Regular. 26.2% for Tauforged.
- Pool C = 50% chance for Tauforged.

Two versions of Archimedea:

- Deep Archimedea = 2x Pool A rewards, 1x Pool B.
- Elite Archimedea = 2x Pool A, 2x Pool B, 1x Pool C rewards.

Saryn's killing stuff outside the circle flashbacks.
*REEEEE*

And to Op. Depending on what your prefered warframes are. I could offer tips.
You dont technically need an ultimate build for netracells.

Just take wisp, built for aim glide and lol through the mission after planting a few flowers for the team since shes invisibile in the air doing nothing.
So built with eclipse, she can be a buff tower for the team.
Or spamming other abilities while jumping and 'hiding' in the air.

Easy to build, no big mods required.
At most you need access to helminth.

soon in the future around October or November, they will change Netracell so you can kill enemies outside of the circle but only Warframe must be inside the circle.

You can switch out those Umbral Mods for normal version. You'll bit less effective but not by much. I have 2 blue shards further increasing my armor and possible 1 red shard.

Inaros will tank absolutely everything. Other than the odd damage reflect ability some enemy has on those missions. But you can live through it by just being able to revive yourself due to the passive ability he has. I think it's one of those sentient beings that has some sort of damage reflect.

The ability I have slotted into his first spot is Embers fire nova ability. It was for stripping armor but I'm not sure it makes a difference anymore.
But now I just use it for crowd control because it makes enemies drop to the ground.

All you do is activate Nr 3 and then kill enemies with the strongest weapon you got. Get a melee weapon with life strike on and IF you're running low on health, heavy attack literally anything that is an enemy. Full health.

Works the same in Steel Path missions unless Stalker has damage reflect. Then you need to be careful.

Edit: if you're struggling with survival here are a few things to work towards
1. Unlock and run arbitrations to earn the Adaptation and Rolling Guard mods. Adaptation is a reliable stacking defensive layer that makes OTHER sources of defenses even better. Rolling Guard gives you a way to remove status effects on shield-reliant warframes as well as giving up to 3 seconds of invulnerability.
2. Maybe invest in a copy of Arcane Guardian. The 900 armor is extremely useful for "health tanking" warframes especially when combined with adaptation or an ability that gives direct damage reduction
3. The Helminth system gives you access to many abilities that can provide additional survivability. Harrow's Condemn is a cheap, fast, and effective source of shields, Hildryn's Pillage is a slower source of shields but doubles as status removal and armor strip, Mirage's Eclipse is not only one of the strongest attack buffs in the game but can also be held-cast to instead provide up to 75% damage reduction. There are other abilities that give armor or healing, but this gives you an idea.
4. The companion set mod Synth Deconstruct when combined with a companion that damages a lot of enemies gives a reliable source of health orbs (such as the common Diriga status primer builds you see around). Combine this with the warframe mod Health Conversion to provide up to 1350 armor. This works especially well with the mod equilibrium to give consistent energy for maintaining abilities (this is admittedly a very high cost to pay due to the significant drains of these mods in addition to their lack of core stats)

Where are the Archimedea missions located? I heard people are getting lucky with the Tauforged shards they are getting.

from what i've heard, to unlock the Archimedea is that you need to be in rank 5 of the sanctum anatomica and then talk to necraloid there. i could be wrong, but that is what i've heard

I just do an elite archi most weeks and be done with it. Usually gives 1-2 tauforged shards.
