I would have liked to have this video out BEFORE this week's update, but got delayed by a few days due to a medical emergency. Things are back on track now and look forward to info on the latest new toys we've got soon!

On the note of Eidolon Shards, I would love to see an Eidolon hunt video, but considering Tridolon hunts are their own meta game with so many strategies to remember, I’ll let a Kengineer video on Tridolons be a fleeting dream

One small thing to note(which most should know by now):
The EXP you gained will be different based on how you killed the enemy. 50% on frame and 50% on weapon, if you killed the enemy with the weapon; 100% on your frame if you killed the enemy with your skill; and 25% on your frame, and 75% on your weapon if your teammate killed the enemy.
Based on how you get your focus, putting the lens in the right weapon/frames is important.

By far the best focus farm I have ever seen is an eximus stronghold endless mission I was getting 100k focus with one focus bubble

[Umbrellie_]

I'm honestly really glad they added the focus boosts to the Thrax units and Angels. I've never enjoyed Eidolon hunts and ESO due to how specific the build requirements are to do them effectively, so it's nice to be able to have a way to gain good amounts of focus with whatever gear I want.

Now all I need is another way to get the Arcanes too... And no I'm not counting Orphix, that's just as bad for build variety since there's only TWO necramechs...

Dark Sector Survival on Ceres, Steel Path, with a Lua Lens on Khora usually reaches my 370K focus limit in about 25 minutes (no booster). Find any small room with 3 or 4 corridors connected, drop your Strangledome and spank away.

[paulamblard]

the elite sanctuary per day with 2 lua lens give the daily max in 8-10 rooms. do it every day for some moth, and you will have all maxed.
(give the focus stats with basic lens to compare to eidolon x6 is misleading.
and for sanctuary with public group : it is easy to do it solo if they leave. it not a problem to not have a good team.)

[MartinGreywolf]

There is one more type of focus farm: Dark Sector Steel Path missions. Bonus to affinity, infested enemies only and weapon arcanes and steel essence as a bonus. It's also more engaging that ESO since you can't quite go to sleep when you do it. Frankly, any SP mission will get you a nice chunk of affinity if you kill enough things, so get your Kuva Bramma warmed up and get to it.

Me starting to smile when starting to talk about Eidolons :D
Three seconds later:
"This is not going to become an Eidolons Guide !"

Amazing video keep going 🥳

[TravisBlandford]

Regular Sanctuary Onslaught is actually insane for focus too. With Volt spamming Discharge in a good room with an affinity booster equipped, I've gotten 200k+ focus in a single SO zone multiple times. Though 20-40k per zone (without a booster) is more typical. I think it's arguably better than ESO because your ults don't get put on cooldown. I can hit my daily cap in less than an hour easily.

The mobile defense for the Zariman Missions spawns more Thrax units than exterminate in my experience. May be worth testing.

[ZwSilenstripe]

Another great ability for adaro stealth farming is khora's ensnare as enemies ensared will not be alerted if you fail to 1 shot them allowing players to bring weaker weapons to farm with or rank up

[fenchellforelle]

note i want to make about eidolon hunting, as long as you have a voidrig necramech you dont need any primary weapon
his arquebex takes out limbs and the final health bar of all three eidolons in fractions of a second (assuming you hit your shots) and even a rank 1 energy bubble from zenurik is enough to make sure its available when you need it

[ThePopeOfAwesomeness]

my favourite way is to use the MIGHTY SEER either directly or asking it for some via its shrine. great video

[electrove]

worth noting that for eidolons, by the time you reach 6x speeds you shod have your focus mostly maxed

[OzixiThrill]

As someone who has been cheesing mastery with Loki since the game's release, I do have one thing to add - Alerted (even hostile) enemies WILL drop their alert state after a while, thus if you accidentally alert an enemy, just leave them behind. Even extermination missions spawn well over the required limit and enemies will crowd the extraction point until you're done, so if you somehow didn't kill an eximus in one shot (and some status effect doesn't finish it off), just leave it behind; It will return later on in the map, damaged and easier to take out.

[BlueeCatss]

Doing eido hunts will always be the top 1 absolute best way to farm focus, it ignores daily cap, what more could you ask for

[sarbe]

I usually prefer doing the zariman mission bounties, that way I'm not only getting a very respectable amount of focus but als loads of endo and standing I can use to get myself some of the stronger weapons and arcanes out there.

Bruh your vids are criminally underrated. You're like the Auspex Tactics of Warframe and have been an invaluable source of information for me as I've started playing lately.

[invisabro]

Thank you Ken! Your videos are always extremely informative!
