Hello Tenno!

I just got Mr 17 and unlocked Archon Hunts, but it is so hard for me that I got unmotivated and honestly have no idea what I should do next. As soon as I found a favorite gun (that would be Fulmin), I spent some plat to make a good build for it and after 7 forma I honestly was really happy with the result, it was helping me through a lot of content (except Profit Taker) and I was really enjoying it... Until I reached Archon hunts. The mobs in Archon hunts barely take damage from my Fulmin and also do a lot of damage to my frames to the point that right now is impossible for me to solo it, and I don't like being carried every week because it feels like I'm leeching. So please help me what should I do next? I'm on my way to unlock Steel Path but I got my ass kicked so hard I'm not even confident enough to tackle SP without being carried again.

When I read "shield gating" someone said that it's a "complicated mechanic" so I just did not research about it cuz I didn't think I would need it so soon, maybe now it's the time to learn I guess. Thank you

IMHO shield gating abuse is kind of a boring mechanic, and mostly unnecessary (unless you're going for multi-hour survivals with enemy levels goings into thousands). I'm a veteran player and between spoiler mode, adaptation mod, warframes with damage reduction and now archon shards I never feel too squishy even for SP or archon hunts.

If you want to use it feel free to, just wanted to point out that it is by no means a requirement to be good at the game.

It's probably best explained with a video, but the idea of shield gating is that when your shield breaks (hits 0), you get a brief window of invulnerability. If you can consistently use that window to restore you shield, you'll never die. Easy, right? Rolling guard can extend that window, as well as purging any status effects on you.

It's an active playstyle, requires specific builds as well as never running out of energy, and if you screw it up you're dead, but it will take you all the way to level cap if you do it right. Personally for archon hunts I just run a tank frame.
