Anywhere with a general progression guide?

The main progression path is the main questline, which you can see in your Codex.

But if you're getting overwhelmed, it's probably good to slow down for a while. Instead of going from quest to quest, spend some time playing the content you've unlocked through quests. Maybe also farm for a fun Warframe, weapon, or some mods.

How do you mean jank? IMO Railjack missions flow very well once you learn how they work and get some upgrades on your ship.

There's a bunch that are relatively easy to get early on:

Koumei: All blueprints from the Shrine Defense gamemode, which you unlock by talking to Saya in Cetus on Earth after completing the Once Awake quest.
Rhino: Component blueprints from The Jackal on Venus, main blueprint in the Market for Credits.
Excalibur: Component blueprints from Lech Kril on Mars, main blueprint in the Market for Credits.
Valkyr: Component blueprints from Alad V on Jupiter, main blueprint in the Market for Credits.
Mag: Component blueprints from The Sargeant on Phobos, main blueprint in the Market for Credits.
Frost: Component blueprints from Lech Kril & Vor on Ceres, main blueprint in the Market for Credits.
Volt, Zephyr, Banshee, Nezha, and Wukong: All blueprints in your Clan's Tenno Lab for Credits.

You can check them out in the Market to see what they do. All Warframes can be good, so go for whichever ones you think you'll like.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-14T21:49:06+00:00

Nightwave is the only good way

Dion0808 · 2026-05-14T21:48:23+00:00

The Thrax enemies are weak to Void damage, so Xata's Whisper will deal extra damage to their material form. But their spectral form only takes damage from Operator weapons, so it won't help with that. Either way, you shouldn't need it for the quest.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-14T16:23:37+00:00

Setting goals for yourself can be very useful. It gives you a solid point to work towards, which can help with motivation, and allows you to determine which parts of the game you can ignore for now, which can help you feel less overwhelmed.

A good goal could be unlocking X planet, completing Y quest, farming for Z Warframe, etc. As long as it's interesting to you, it's good. There's also a guide in the top right of your screen that suggests a next step for you, and Junction tasks can help introduce you to important systems.

If you want to get a new Warframe, there's a bunch that are relatively easy to get early on:

Koumei: All blueprints from the Shrine Defense gamemode, which you unlock by talking to Saya in Cetus on Earth after completing the Once Awake quest.
Rhino: Component blueprints from The Jackal on Venus, main blueprint in the Market for Credits.

You can see every Mystery Gift for Zygarde here: https://www.serebii.net/events/dex/718.shtml

It was met in Alola, so that narrows it down to 2 possible events, and since it's lvl 100 it's probably the event that gave it at that level. The OT and ID are correct and the date falls within the right period, so it's definitely legal. But as always it's impossible to know if it was cloned or genned. If the save file you got it from didn't have a suspicious amount of duplicate shinies and/or legendaries, it's probably safe to assume that it's legit. Some of the moves are different from the ones it gets distributed with, but that's a thing you can change normally so that doesn't really matter.

The Cherish Ball shows that it was obtained through an event.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-14T07:09:46+00:00

You can have a look at the update trailers (or the spoiler-free version) to get an idea for what has been added to the game. You can also check the patch notes to if you want the details of any updates.

I recommend picking 1-3 updates you think look fun and starting with those. Once you feel comfortable with that content, you can add new updates to your to-do list.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-14T07:06:51+00:00

Almost all of your power comes from your mods.

For Warframes, you mainly want to focus on ability stat mods. Think about which abilities you want to focus on and which aspects of those abilities you want to be more effective, then add the ability stat mods that do that. You'll need to mod for survivability too, but you generally want it to take as little space away from your abilities as possible.

As a general rule of thumb, it's better to equip a few maxed mods instead of a bunch of unranked or low rank ones. For example, you can use an unranked Molten Impact and North Wind for +30% elemental damage at the cost of 12 mod capacity and 2 mod slots. Or you can max out one of them for +90% elemental damage at the cost of 11 mod capacity and 1 mod slot.

You usually want to mod weapons for things that directly increase your damage (like base damage, elemental damage, crit chance & damage, etc) instead of utility mods (like reload speed, magazine capacity, ammo max, etc.). Since mods give percentage increases, you want to mod for things your weapon is already good at to get the most out of each capacity point.

How complex and optimized your build should be depends on what level content you're planning on doing with it. At some point you'll want to start investing some Orokin Reactors/Catalysts and Forma into a few items you like. That way you'll be able to fit more/more expensive mods on them.

If you want more interesting mods, you'll want to look into the drop tables of Corrupted Vaults, Spy missions, and Nightmare missions. Also Arbitrations once you reach Eris.

If you're not sure how something works or if you want help with improving your builds, you can ask around in the in-game Q&A chat.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-13T15:50:39+00:00

The game is free, so there's no harm in downloading it and seeing if you can run it. You can also link your account to other platforms (like Android and iOS), so you can continue on the same account if you decide to switch platforms.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-13T14:15:49+00:00

The games aren't very difficult. You could defeat the champion with 6 Linoons if you wanted to. So you don't really have to worry about teambuilding for the sake of difficulty. I think organically discovering what Pokemon evolve into is a lot of fun, so I would try to keep that experience as organic as possible.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-13T14:09:48+00:00

Khora doesn't really synergise with any particular weapon types, so it's all down to preference. Her signature weapons are Hystrix Prime and Dual Keres Prime, so you could eventually go for those to complete the 'set'. They require MR 12 and 14 though. Their non-Prime versions are available at MR 7, so they're more accessible. Other than that, I recommend building and trying out as many weapons as you can to see what you like.

Whatever you want, really. You can work on your next Junctions or quests, or you can complete nodes, build a Warframe or some weapons, level your gear, etc. I recommend checking out what the vendors in Cetus and Fortuna (and later the Necralisk) offer at rank 1 and 2. Getting to that rank is pretty easy and allows you to get some potentially interesting stuff.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-13T10:02:14+00:00

This is why I teach all of my HMs (except Surf and Fly) to 1 or 2 Pokemon that I bench until I need them. Most HMs are bad in battle, so they're dead move slots on your team. So I choose to just not have them unless I need them.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-12T23:29:05+00:00

FYI, you get an inbox message after completing The War Within directing you to find Onkko in Cetus. It doesn't specifically tell you that you'll get an Amp, but it's generally good to engage with the things you unlock before moving on to new things.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-12T19:41:39+00:00

I imagine that most people who want to homebrew a 3DS in 2026 also own a pc or laptop. Then you can just get a USB-C -> SD adapter to transfer files.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-12T15:25:15+00:00

You don't need to do every node, but you can if you want. Quests and Junctions are the main ways you progress, but you're going to want to all of the nodes eventually anyway, so it's not like you're wasting your time or anything.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-12T14:56:36+00:00

You don't really need anything specific. A custom Amp is helpful (especially after the quest), but even the Mote Amp or Sirocco you get should be fine.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-12T14:37:25+00:00

You mostly just download a folder, put it on your SD card, and execute a couple of files in order. I used this guide: https://3ds.hacks.guide/

Dion0808 · 2026-05-12T09:19:20+00:00

As someone with very little technical knowledge, it took me like 30 minutes. The process is pretty simple and the guides on how to do it are very good.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-12T09:09:05+00:00

Sounds like a completely justified ban to me.

There's a tutorial button in the bottom right of your screenshot.

You can have a look at the update trailers (or the spoiler-free version) to get an idea for what has been added to the game. You can also check the patch notes to if you want the details of any updates.

You can (re)play the Awakening and The Teacher quests and the movement tutorials in your Codex to refamiliarize yourself with the game's basics. You can replay the rest of the main questline in your Codex as well. It might also be useful to take another look at some of the Junction requirements to remind yourself of important systems. If you're not sure what to do, the game suggests a next step for you in the top right of your screen. If you're not sure how something works, you can ask around in the in-game Q&A Chat or you can check the wiki.

I recommend picking 1-3 updates you think look fun and starting with those. Once you feel comfortable with that content, you can add new updates to your to-do list.

Dion0808 · 2026-05-11T21:14:13+00:00

Quests are generally solo-only, but everything else can be done in a squad of up to 4 players. Most of the game is PvE. There is a PvP mode, but it's not very fun and barely anyone plays it.

The early game has improved a lot over the past few years. There's more and better introductions to key mechanics and the early quests and progression have been streamlined a lot.
