The tektolyst artifacts allow any warframe to 1-shot an eidolons shield and limb at the same time with just an amp now. Without void strike.

**TL; DR** \- Keep reading for the why and how but:

Madurai - Only need the crit damage and amp damage node.

Amp - raplak prism, certus brace. Proppa scaffold is ideal, but I basically don’t use the scaffold.

Artifact mods - Multishot, Amp damage, Crit chance, damage bonus after using void mode, final mod is dealers choice. I use fire rate in-case I miss.

Mod names to search for: Hayan-Dobor, Hok-Kaal, Omn-Evi, Ubri-Kaneph.

Artifact arcane has no impact on this.

Mutalist quanta for the alt fire (dont use bursting mass)

Melee - Vastilok  or sarpa (only if you dont have vastilok) for armor strip

Secondary - Anything you want for killing lures.

OP/Amp arcanes - Magus melt (operator), Eternal Onslaught, Eternal Eradicate.

Have fun.

As for the how and why

I don’t like the way the eidolon meta plays. I don’t like volt and getting used to timing things is not fun for me. So I always set out to do it my own way, leading me to “amp only” eidolon hunts with jade for the longest while.

Now the tektolyst artifacts add so much power to these amps, you don’t even need jade anymore. You can still use her and perform the same with any focus school, but if you use madurai you can run any warframe and straight up instantly down an eidolon the second the shields are vulnerable with 1 shot. Without void strike.

Yes, this isn’t exactly beginner friendly. You need a tektolyst artifact which is a steep grind. But I’m sure there’s a lot of people who don’t want to engage with the eidolon meta but are still behind in their focus trees and just want to get it over with. I don’t like fighting eidolons much, but it’s gotten so easy over the years, especially now, that it’s a decently chill farm comparatively.

If you want a similar amp-only eidolon strategy you can do without the artifacts. Just run jade with everything I’m about to mention.

Refer to the above TL;DR for the gear used. Here’s the explanation for it.

**Mutalist quanta** \- Alt fire is a mini volt shield. Bonus electric damage, crit chance, crit damage. Stacks 3 times (bursting mass stops them from stacking). It’s a bit jank since the balls aren’t very clear to shoot through and if you fire the balls too fast they end up in the floor. You can stand inside the ball to see better and if you space out your balls slightly, you can work with it very easily. Both this and magus melt can be prepped during the/just after the magnetic scream for every limb. By the time the eidolon can be shot, you have nothing else to do but wait for the sound of it being vulnerable. There’s no rush to set up really.

It’s more overall actions than standard eidolon strategies, but less precision is needed.

Yes, the electric and heat damage of the quanta and melt don’t affect the eidolon shield. But the end-goal is stacking so much damage that all of the void damage demolishes the shield and the remainder alongside the heat/electric spills over and instantly takes out the limb too.

**Vastilok/sarpa** \- There for armor strip w/ shattering impact. Vastilok is vasti superior because of it’s higher pellet count.

**The amp** \- Raplak for the 1 shot because of hok-kaal’s 3x boost on the first shot. For cantic, it only affects the first hit in the burst. You can absolutely run cantic still. Raplak can 1-shot with only eternal onslaught, though it’s a little RNG due to multishot and crit tiers. Doesn’t happen too often but it can take you 2 shots to break the synovia sometimes. Slowing down that phase by a grueling 0.35 seconds. This is fixed with eternal eradicate on top.

If you aren’t going for the 1-shot, the cantic is much more flexible overall for basically no speed loss because it can kill a synovia in 1-2 bursts using the same setup.

Seriously, the difference between a 1 shot and a 2 shot with either amp is so miniscule I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m just showing off how insane you can make the amp individually.

As you probably would guess, once all the limbs are gone. The amp absolutely torches the eidolon. So any secondary weapon you bring is largely a hacking lures.

**Focus school** \- Madurai specifically for the small boost to base amp damage and the 100% crit damage when going between warframe and operator mode. Void strike can still find a use as it lets you burst a limb instantly then buff during his screech. But it doesn’t really help much overall.

Because of this you can run a trinity, oberon, dante, and not worry about lures at all when playing solo/pubs. Or run anything you want, if you kill the limbs fast enough the eidolon basically never attacks and the fights end so fast the lingering damage doesn’t have time to chip away at the lures.

**Substitutions:**

You can use any focus school if you run jade for the warframe slot thanks to her symphony of mercy damage buff affecting amps. With cantic, melt, the mutalist quanta, and the artifact mods you can kill the synovia either by the end of the first burst or start of the second. Helpful if you have an artifact but it's not madurai's.

Despite the lures having the visual effect from lights judgement, it still doesn’t heal them sadly. Since you're decoupled from madurai, however, you can run vazarin to cover the lures and yourself from mag procs with protective sling.

If you don't have an artifact, you need to run madurai alongside jade to get away with the amp only life-style however. I'd also suggest virtuous strike instead of eradicate if you don't have an artifact. But either work fine. With strike you can pre-fire to proc it before the eidolon can be hurt. Cant do that with the artifact because of hok-kaal.

If you have the artifact AND jade, you can skip the mutalist quanta and just blast them down with the cantic set up. I don’t know if the raplak 1 shot is still possible because the quanta provides a TON of damage. I’d test more, but the day/night cycle is ass and gives you no room to actually test shit without wasting valuable hunting time.

(Edit: jade with the artifact and cantic can 1 shot/1 burst a limb through the shield without the mutalist quanta. Hard to tell if the first shot does it, but it definitely takes less than 1 burst. raplak is probably doable then.)

You don’t need a spectacular build. Anything with decent strength and duration works. I use energy nexus to help with energy sustain.

If you shall excuse me, I'm going back to sniffing eidolon shards now.
