Yea, it helps me a lot. If you happen to get yourself an Akstiletto Prime and bump up its Status, you'll see why it is so so good, it'll proc elemental dmg like mad.

So last night I was basically doing the same defense mission over and over again, well I entered it one time and there was this boss guy + the normal waves and he was one-shotting everyone. We fought him for a good 30 mins and only got him to half before we wiped.
What caused this guy to spawn?

To be clear there, status is the chance to proc the elemental effect, like cold's slow, viral cutting hp in half, corrosive reducing armor by 30%, etc. The elemental damage always happens regardless of status. Also, which proc you get is random, but weighted by how much damage each element has in it. An Akstiletto with a ton of corrosive dmg and a little bit of cold is going to do corrosive procs far more often than cold. There's also the normal slash/puncture/impact procs to consider too.
Shotguns get real weird too, if you can get them to 100% status. At that point, suddenly every single pellet procs a status effect, guaranteed. There's a whole world of difference between 98.5% (Sancti Tigris) and 100% (Tigris Prime).
And reminder: I have shitloads of relics for almost all of the current prime stuff and a lot of vaulted ones. I did all of Helios Prime's parts last night in about 90 minutes solo and Oberon P the night before. I don't mind dragging people along to get parts they need whenever there's good missions up, but no one's taken me up on the offer so far.

Stalker/Shadow Stalker? Killing bosses puts players on his hunted list and there's a 2% (+0.5% per other person in the group also being hunted) chance per mission that he'll spawn. He goes nearly immune to the damage types you use, forcing you to switch it up, and is a real pain in the ass to kill when you're new. Once you complete a main story quest and unlock focus, he's pretty trivial to take down.

I'd be down. Have a wide array of warframes to use really just want to finish some prime warframes and could always use more weapons. What's your name in game? I'll throw you an invite when I get home at noon.
Also have a ton of spare BPs I could throw your way Hekotat. Lot of excess warframe parts.

Svieri. Think you're already on my list.
Yeah, that was probably Shadow Stalker. He has most of the abilities of Excalibur, plus a select few from other frames. He's also immune to practically every warframe ability, or at least their primary/damage effects anyway. Stuff like Frost's snowglobe still slows him way down though. He'll also dispel any buffs you try to use on yourself, which is a real bitch when he shows up to missions when you're using Loki.
Never seen his name come up in Japanese though, have you limited your region to North America and set a ping limit to like 200? Otherwise you'll have a bad time in a lot of public games.

I didn't even know you could limit ping/region, there is so much to this game it's hard to take it all in.

Options > Gameplay. Not sure what the defaults are set to. I use N.A./200ms. Keeps missions playable, but doesn't prevent you from joining someone halfway around the world with a terrible connection if you need to buy something from them.

I'm only mastery rank 5 and still working on unlocking the planets, currently finishing up Europa and the void ones it connects to.

Concentrate on getting those Junctions cleared, the big story quests require some of them to be opened up.

You should be able to join anyone. I have my ping limit set to 175, if trading, I'll get a prompt asking if I want to connect to someone with a higher ping.

Yeah, by terrible I mean people in the 400-1000ms range that you'd never want to actually play with. 200ms is even a bit annoying, my macro for Zenurik doesn't fire properly and I end up having to void dash manually.
Primary - Hek (I can give you a Scattered Justice mod if you're lacking in Steel Meridian rep)
Secondary - Still Akstiletto Prime. Definitely try to finish up Lex Prime, and I'd advise building a Sonicor too.
Melee - Still Atterax. Build a Krohkur when you can get the tellurium, it's the new best 1h sword (and also the best dual sword if you build two more to make the twin version). Orthos Prime is a solid option with very low MR req too.
Ah, I thought you were higher MR. I'd change my suggestions to:
Primary - Hek (I can give you a Scattered Justice mod if you're lacking in Steel Meridian rep)

Melee - Still Atterax. Build a Krohkur when you can get the tellurium, it's the new best 1h sword (and also the best dual sword if you build two more to make the twin version). Orthos Prime is a solid option with very low MR req too.

Can I gain standing with all of the factions or is it a pick one and done kind of deal? I haven't done any of them yet.
I like the orthos so maybe i'll try to get the prime.

If you're a min/max type, you can stay positive with probably 3 Factions at a time, if you're not, then you'll focus on 1, which has an Ally that you'll gain rep with as you raise your primary Faction. Example, Steel Meridian is allied with Red Veil, so I get points with both each time I run a mission for either one, but I also lose points with those who are enemies / neutral. I'll reach General rank with both Steel Meridian and Red Veil, but be hated by all the other Factions.
Orthos is a great weapon, either one. Put a max'd out Reach mod on it and you'll hit mobs way outside their own melee range. Plus, there is some stance mod for it which allows you do crazy, long range parkour. It is still my most used melee weapon by a large margin.

I have 4 factions.
Steel Meridian gives 50% Red Veil.
Suda gives 50% Hexis but -50% Red Veil.
So you max Steel & Veil, then max Suda & Hexis while using Steel daily missions (and the occasional sigil day) to offset what you lose in RV so it never drops below exalted. Make sure to get the 15% sigils for Steel and Suda, Veil and Hexis go a lot faster that way.

Did one of those life support missions this morning where Lotus drops the life support but even if I used them as soon as they dropped I still couldn't make it to the 5th or 6th one without reaching zero. This is the first time I'm having issues with this type of mission, what am I missing?

Have to kill enough enemies to get their personal life support drops (+5%) to hold off activating the +30% beacons for as long as possible.
Or do like I do and get Nekros. I did a 40 minute survival the other day to farm a mod and Desecrate generated so many personal ones that I never activated any of the big beacons at all. Survival is a lot easier in a group too.
