I lucked out and got 75% off platinum for a daily reward, so for $12.50 I got around 1k plat.

Does anyone have any advice for the 3rd mastery test (melee), I don't appear to be able to manage it at the moment, the grineer shield guys keep wrecking me (not to mention that they are massively overleveled and knock down 810 shields in about 3 shots.)  I've got a maxxed Skana with some decent mods, a Chronus at rank 17 with very mediocre mods, and an unranked Scindo.  Also my only warframe is still Mag.

Rhino absolutely wrecks that test. Iron skin kicks ass.
Jump, look towards ground, melee. Should knock them to the ground. Ground finisher move should do it.
I used dual heat swords at lv 17
If in doubt, run and replenish.


2nd level of any relay will take you to Cephalon Simaris. There's an anticlockwise staircase with mastery test practices.

Pretty sure you can't use powers any more.

Max out pressure point, throw in elementals, max the scindo since its probably got more damage if you have a stance for it. Use lots of slide attacks or knock them down with ground slams

I don't have a stance for the Scindo, my Skana has some elementals and a maxxed stance that can also be applied to the Chronus (if I go ahead and max that),  I'll grind some exterminations and see if I can get the Scindo up to a useful level.  I do have a maxxed pressure point to use, so that isn't a problem.  I've had some luck with ground slams, but I can't reliably pull off slide attacks (fingers don't respond correctly.)

If you don't have a stance for it then probably better off with the maxed single swords & stance, since it lets you fit in more mods. A big melee fight isn't a difficult MR test like the dang solo interception at mr15 anyway, at least.

Well, honestly the main problem is that I get killed, because they rip off my shields in three shots, then gang stomp me with their shield bash.

If surviving is the problem, bring both redirection and vitality. Jump over them for dodging or bulletjump over them for minor damage. Rolling has damage reduction. Knock them all down with Pull.

Also, you can do practice tests in Simaris' room. What level are they anyway? I don't remember there being difficult to kill enemies in any MR tests, just problems with time limits.

For survivability with mag, you really want to be building redirection, more as less as high as reasonably possible. You can get a huge amounts of shields that can handle most stuff. Vitality is alright, but doesn't have the synergy redirection has with mags naturally large shield pool.

Pull and ground slams are the best ways to deal with shield enemies I found. Following up with ground finishers is useful if you got everyone who has a shot on you.

((Disclaimer: Haven't played in a while, but this should still be good advice hopefully.))

Got past the mastery test, those pillars make for a good way to deliver ground strikes safely.  The various baddies were all level 15, and inflicted entirely too much damage, losing 810 shields in three shots (I had ample opportunity to count), then getting shield stomped into the dirt  is in no way a pleasant experience.

Also, you get endo and credits back for any partial-levels on mods you had before. Legendary cores are unchanged.
