Hey guys, what’s up, Eelin here! In today’s Warframe guide, I’ll teach you how to efficiently run Netra Cell missions to farm Archon Shards, Melee Arcanes, and Melee Arcane Adapters.
Unlocking Netra Cell Missions
First, complete the Whispers in the Walls quest. After that:
- Go to Deimos and enter the Sanctum Anatomica.
- Fast travel to Tager, the goat-cat-looking NPC.
- Access Netra Cells from his dialogue.
Each week, you can run Netra Cell missions up to five times. Rewards include:
- Archon Shards (Crimson, Azure, Amber)
- Melee Arcanes
- Melee Arcane Adapters
Enemies in these missions range from level 220 to 240 and have various scaling debuffs and restrictions:
- Increased health and shield scaling per squad member
- Only allies can revive you
- 3-minute cooldown on restores
- Cannot summon anything
Beginner-Friendly Loadout
If you’re new, here’s a recommended setup:
Warframe: Rhino
- High ability strength & duration
- Iron Skin and Roar for survival & damage
- Optional: Subsumed Shock with Shock Trooper mod or Ironclad Charge augment
Weapons:
- Primary: Sporothrix with viral/heat setup
- Secondary: Any high-damage AoE
- Melee: Zaw or Zorus for quick CC with electric damage
Key Mechanics and Strategy
- You’ll collect 4 debuff keys that weaken your Warframe.
- Solo players must carry all four. In squads, each player takes one.
- Hack terminals to locate the vault, insert a key to activate it.
- Clear enemies in a defined zone to lower security and access the vault.
Efficient Enemy Clearing:
- Nautilus Sentinel with Cordon mod to group enemies
- Operator Mod: Magus Anomaly for enemy grouping when using transference
Recommended Warframes for Efficiency
1. Styanax:
- Great AOE and armor stripping
- Use Final Stand augment for overguard on Javelin hits
2. Dante:
- Ability spam nuking via Dark Verse and Tragedy
- Replace first ability with Roar for increased damage
3. Wukong (Speedrun Build):
- Cloud Walker for fast vault and terminal access
- Immortality from passive
- Melee-centric build with Dual Ichor & Melee Influence
- Use Magus Anomaly and Nautilus for crowd control
Recommended Arcanes & Mods:
- Melee Influence (spread melee damage)
- Primary/Secondary Dexterity (for combo duration)
- Explosive weapon (e.g., Aegrit) for drone phases
Drone Phase
- Around 67-75% progress, a drone spawns
- Use explosive weapons to quickly clear it
Fastest Run Showcase
- Sub-6 minute solo run using Wukong + Dual Ichor
- Skip terminal hacking if you memorize vault spawns
- Use operator transference + melee spam to rapidly eliminate groups
- Focus on Eximus units first
Rewards & Final Steps
- After clearing the vault, collect rewards:
- Unidentified item
- Two Inodilant resources
- Check reward upon extraction
Final Thoughts
This guide covers both beginner and advanced strategies for Netra Cell missions. Choose your preferred Warframe and optimize based on your goals: speed, safety, or pure nuking.
