Bear Arms or be Eliminated!

Here is a little guide how to speedrun and high wave run an infested defense:

Quick kill guide for infested d (all defense maps):

What you need: Frame (Saryn, Ember)

It should be obvious what to do: The position should be close to the pod, about 10m (you can use waypoints to measure). You will spam your ult (Miasma, WoF). This means sometimes you have to drop energy plates. In the trinity case you will bless + link yourself and use penta on yourself. To kill them as fast as possible. 5 Waves. Restart.

Saryn build: max Range (max overextended and max stretch), max efficiency (max fleeting, max streamline), miasma and intensify(focus) + rank 2 blind rage.
Ember build: max Range (max overextended and max stretch), max duration (max narrow minded, max const. and cont.), WoF and intensify(focus)


Small FAQ:

Why Saryn?
@Wave 5 an Ancient Disrupter spawns. Miasma deals Corrosive damage which means: the Ancient Disruptors will take +75% damage.

Why Ember?
If you ask that you are a troll or check out the wiki

Why NOT Rhino?
Doesnt deal enough damage to kill them in one stomp.

Why NOT Oberan?
Deals Radiation damage. Bad against Infested

Why NOT Volt?
Doesnt deal enough damage to kill them in one stomp.

What NOT Nova?
Nova will slow down the enemy. If they are not around you have to run to them maybe even search for them -> waste of time. And if they are primed and you can't see them you can't shoot them, obviously.

Should i solo or go in a squad?
1) 4 Man team => 4x the score
2) faster spawns
3) 1 can kill, and 3 can leech => xp farm

5 Waves? ♥♥♥♥ that: i wanna do 100 Waves.
FIRST OF ALL: Run it in a 4 man squad! It's a huge waste of time and points. Vauban is a must have. The rest is optional.

1) You position yourself somewhere at top where:

1.1) Infested can't hit you (watch for range of the ancient's)
1.2) You have a free view and
1.3) you can see the pod area/vortex and can shoot without dealing damage to yourself

2) Vauban cast's vortex at the entrances plus a security bastile.

3) you shoot the infested with an aoe gun: Penta, Torid, Ogris, Stug

That's pretty much it.

How should you choose the other warframes?
You should use a warframe for:

1) Damage buff
2) dealing damage
3) healing
4) CC (if something goes wrong)
5) looting

Here are a couple of Warframes and what you should watch:

Nova: Low range (even max range is too much), max power, max efficiency. For mprime, ad.
Rhino: for roar and stomp
Trinty: blessing spec (4ppl with aoe weapons and end-game-laggs: someone will die)
Ember: damage buff and wof
Banshee: soundquake (and sonar). soundquake would deal damage + stagger them
Nekros: desecrate build (max range, max efficiency)

be creative choosing your warframe.

What about Weapons?
There are a couple of good ones: Ignis for example (could get buffed by Ember). Also a good one is Lanka: It should be a crit and proc build. I will post a video to this.
