just one extra addition I would like to add. No idea if it will help anyone. Subsuming elemental ward from chroma onto hyldrin is another great option. One of the buffs reflects shield damage to nearby enemies, and pillage removes overshield when it is applying a new one. These combine to create a rather effective room nuke at these levels and because shield is used in place of energy it is highly spammable. I have never tried these missions with gyre, but that looks just as good or better than hildryn with elemental ward. Just wanted to mention there was another way for people that don't have gyre.

Lavos main here. I used Lavos and brought the Cedo. Lavos’s 4 is a room clearer that scales up dramatically with each status effect. The Cedo’s alternate fire puts a bunch of random status effects on the target. So after you put a few status effects you can use your 4 to clear a room. When your 4 is down you should use your 3 on a big group of enemies as it will reduce the cooldown on all your abilities. Also if you use ice on your 2 it will put 9 stacks of ice on the enemies which makes them slow down to a crawl. If it gets hairy you can also use your 1 to get your health back when needed. Putting viral on the 1 before you cast it makes it very strong.

Just in caze people want some dumb down. I did it with Revenant + Synoid Heliocor heavy slam. Revenant 1 is the one we using, an spreading CC for cheap. The Synoid Heliocor has an inate 20 combo points, it ain't a "unique trait" so it still works during the mission. Heavy slam requires no attack speed mods and is relative fast, and we using the x2 combo to do more damage. It's COMPLETLY brain dead loadout, but it gets the job done.

I actually wish DE would make a star chart like this, that has weak base level enemies, but you can't sup up your build by normal means. You have to think outside the box and find good combinations.

I appreciate the video. I found it rather jarring, when you stopped short of speaking the headers (missions, primaries, etc). If I had one suggestion, it would be to go ahead and say them, as that would feel much more fluid. A subtle transition sound or tone might help, if you wanted an auditory signal when moving to a new section. Otherwise, seems great to me. :)

I love your Gyre recommendations. Subsume over her 1 or 2 with Pillage (I prefer over her 2 because Arc Coil amps Rotorswell and helps extend Cathode Grace with her augment).

I'd put Lavos as an actual recommendation, rather than an honourable mention. 1: He can infuse his abilities with elemental damage of his choosing, meaning you can put toxin damage on them to nuke Corpus. 2: He's got a high hp and armour pool, letting him tank easily. His first ability also has lifesteal on it. 3: If you use the augment for his first ability, that all but fixes his cooldown situation, allowing you to be super spammy with his abilities. Funnily enough, I didn't struggle much with Survival (though I don't quite recall what I used there). I had a much harder time with Excavation, as protecting the Excavators becomes pretty nasty at some point.

Sad that Limbo is not mentioned at all, he's amazing as a "second player" in Survival so as one player focus's on taking out enemies the Limbo player focus's on making sure to revive. Limbo can also trivialize the Excavation mission, just avoid nullifiers when possible. Limbo is also an amazing partner with Octavia, and/or Mesa and/or Mirage and/or Saryn and/or Gyre. Sad Revenant wasn't mentioned, he was one of the few warframes that can solo the defense and survival missions. Just beware any enemies you thrall prevent other frames like Saryn from being able to do what they do.
