Navigating Warframe’s Plague Star finale requires tactical adjustments, especially for newcomers aiming to secure Forma. Mastering specific mechanics transforms this encounter from frustrating to manageable.

Three critical vulnerabilities define this encounter. First, targeting exposed weak points during attack phases proves essential. Second, armor-reduction effects enhance damage output despite immunity to status procs. Third, sustained high-DPS builds outperform burst weapons due to damage attenuation mechanics.

• Three cranial weak points require destruction for victory
• Vulnerability windows coincide with attack animations
• Armor-stripping abilities enhance weapon effectiveness
• Rapid-fire armaments and pellet spreaders excel
• Slash/Heat modifications optimize damage profiles

Optimal loadouts blend mobile survivability with sustained firepower. While specialized builds exist, accessible configurations often yield surprising success rates.

These Warframes enhance combat efficiency through distinct mechanics:

• Xaku – Xata’s Whisper bypasses damage reduction through additive projectiles
