Warframe Temple: Stage Defense Farm, Abilities and Build

Temple's main blueprint and all 3 part blueprints drop in Stage Defense. The mission sits at Solstice Square in Höllvania.

1. Finish The Hex quest.
2. Raise your standing with The Hex to Rank 4, Hot & Fresh. That rank opens Stage Defense.
3. Start Stage Defense at Solstice Square.
4. Hold each round of waves. Every round pays 1 reward, then you choose to stay or extract.
5. Keep the Beating Heartstrings from every run for Flare's shop.

The main blueprint, Neuroptics, Chassis and Systems all share these odds. Rotation C gives the best chance, so stay for longer runs.

The same reward table also holds the 4 blueprints of the Riot-848 rifle.

Stage Defense also pays Beating Heartstrings. Flare of The Hex sells every Temple blueprint for them at Rank 4.

Temple blueprint	Beating Heartstrings
Temple Blueprint	195
Neuroptics Blueprint	65
Chassis Blueprint	65
Systems Blueprint	65
Full set	390

The shop is the steady route. Buy the 1 part that refuses to drop and keep farming for the rest.

The Market sells the finished Temple for 370 Platinum.

Ability	What it does
Passive: Backbeat	Cast abilities in time with the Backbeat metronome. On the beat, each ability gets a stronger effect and 50% more Ability Efficiency.
Pyrotechnics	Blasts targeted enemies with pillars of Heat. On the beat it lights even more pillars.
Overdrive	Sends a wave of Heat forward and makes enemies more open to Critical Chance. On the beat that Critical Chance bonus doubles.
Ripper's Wail	Temple rips on the guitar to turn briefly invulnerable and heal. Allies in Affinity Range gain extra Heat on their weapons when an ability lands on the beat.
Exalted Solo	Once the metronome builds a charge, Lizzie becomes a flamethrower. Aimed, Lizzie fires sound waves in the element you pick. On the beat it costs no Energy.

Lizzie is Temple's Infested guitar. It also serves as the weapon of Exalted Solo.

Current builds play Temple 2 ways at once. Ripper's Wail lights up the squad's guns, and Exalted Solo deals the frame's own damage.

Slot	Pick
Aura	Corrosive Projection
Strength	Blind Rage, Transient Fortitude
Survival	Archon Vitality
Energy	Equilibrium
Duration	Primed Continuity or Archon Continuity
Range	Stretch or Archon Stretch

Rhythm Guard is Temple's passive augment from Update 43. The newest top build gives it a slot.
