Warframe – How to Beat Tyl Regor, the Boss of Uranus

warframe

Tyl Regor is proving to be a particularly tough boss to beat.

He has a rapidly regenerating shield, can teleport, become invisible, and owns up close.

Energy drops around his arena are extremely infrequent, ruling out most abilities.

I've tried:

Magnetic – strips his shield fast enough, useless against his armour.
Radiation – best damage against his armour, but struggles to chip away at his shield as fast as it regenerates.
Toxic – if I could spend a few hours dodging his attacks this might take him down eventually.

I've tried with a variety of different combinations, but generally run out of ammo in his first phase.

I'd happily team up to defeat him, but I'm on Xbox, so not much chance of finding a team for that.

How do I beat him solo (using abilities and weapons unlocked before Uranus/Natah)?

Best Answer

Radiation damage, as you've noted, has a large bonus vs his alloy armor, but leaves you with a damage penalty vs his shields, and provides no benefit vs his "cloned flesh" hp type. It would seem that viral or cold damage provides you with the best combination of strengths compared to weaknesses, but magnetic could also help destroy his shield if you felt it necessary (with a penalty toward his armor).

In this situation, it might be helpful to have your primary equipped with one element, and your secondary with another element, then switch between them as necessary. Lex Prime and Euphona Prime come to mind as secondary weapons that might be suited to this fight, but other options such as the Gammacor or maybe even the Seer could work

Tyl Regor gets around very quickly, as you've also noticed, which leaves a couple key strategies:

Have a weapon capable of dealing large burst damage very quickly.

Your Hek is a good start; make sure it has an Orokin Catalyst installed and high levels of mods such as Hell's Chamber, Point Blank, and elemental mods as desired. Remember: if you have unused mod capacity, empty mod slots, or all the mods are not maxed, the weapon is (almost always) not being used to its full ability. Scattered Justice is also very helpful.

Slowing him down.

I know you said ability usage is limited, but there are ways to get around this, such as:

High efficiency builds on your Warframe
Leaving some empty mod capacity on your Warframe so that you start with extra energy (contrary to weapons, unused mod capacity on a Warframe actually serves a purpose)
Taking your time killing as many enemies as possible on the way to the boss room so that you have a large energy pool to work with by the time you reach Tyl Regor (The "Flow" mod helps with this).
Energy Restores
Zenurik (included for completion; by the time you unlock this you won't need it for Tyl Regor)

In light of that, there are 2 popular ways to slow down Tyl Regor: Frost, and Nova.

Frost

Build for efficiency and range. Place a few snowglobes in the arena. This serves the double purpose of both slowing him down so you can get a few shots off, and greatly helping your survivability.

Nova

Nova's fourth ability, Molecular Prime, will change the speed of all enemies around relative to Nova's power strength. High power strength means every enemy around will be slowed to a crawl. Nova is not the easiest frame to survive solo, however, so Frost would be my suggestion.

How to auto equip mods in warframe

Go to your Arsenal, select your warframe and click upgrade. Then click "Actions" pictured below.

Now you'll see a menu which allows you to start auto-installing mods.

Also, mods aren't very difficult to figure out.

Firstly "drain" and "drain capacity": The number in the upper left of the card is the "drain". Your warframe and weapons have a drain capacity. For example, my warframe currently has 14 capacity. If I equip a 2 drain mod, I have 12 more capacity for other mods.

Secondly "polarity": the symbol next to the drain number is the polarity indicator. There are at least seven of these. Slots also may have polarity. Based on whether the mod matches the slot's polarity, you get the following outcomes:

Slot has no polarity: no change to drain of the mod.
Slot polarity matches Mod polarity: decreases the drain of the mod.
Slot polarity does not match Mod polarity: increases the drain of the mod.

So you want to match polarity to be able to equip more mods.

Lastly Fusion: When you unlock the mod station in your ship, you can power up mods by spending credits and endo. This is called fusion. Each upgrade to the mod increases its effect and its drain. Keep your warframe's drain capacity in mind when upgrading so you can still fit all the mods that you want.

Warframe – How to Level Focus Efficiently

Leveling your focus schools is done by acquiring focus points. Focus points can be acquired via focus lenses, which drop as bounty rewards from the Plains of Eidolon (alternately, these can be traded for from other players, and/or purchased off the ingame market with platinum).

Once you have a focus lens, apply it to a piece of gear that is rank 30. Then, when you enter a mission, you will sometimes see a yellow orb pop up somewhere on the map. Collect this yellow orb. For the next 45 seconds, a percentage of affinity earned by a piece of gear with a lens on it will be converted into focus points for that school.

At your operator, you should see the 5 schools, and how many points you have in each. Upon selecting a school, you can click on nodes to allocate focus points to them and unlock them for use. You can also click on unlocked nodes to toggle them on and off. You can only have a certain amount active at a time, but you can increase this cap (known as the "pool") with focus points.

¹Make sure you buy the correct type of lens for the school you wish to level! Though if you get the wrong one, fear not! Leveling all 5 schools is possible, and some would say, recommended.

²It is also important to note that once you put a lens on a piece of gear, this lens cannot be removed. It can be replaced, but the original lens is destroyed in the process.

³Also, there are upgraded forms of lenses that you can craft: you can turn focus lenses into greater focus lenses (blueprint available from the market), and you can turn those into Eidolon focus lenses (blueprint available as a rare drop from bounties).
