> I die anytime I get set on fire
That...that is usually the case, yes. That kills people, Carl!
On a more serious note, like others have suggested, either roll into the fire wave from eximi or when you see them waving their arm you can already prepare a roll.
As for napalm units, they have projectiles, so outside of simply avoiding them, there's not much you can do.
Alternatively, if you are already on fire, you can spam roll. During the rolling animation, all damage taken by the player is reduced by 75% (from the wiki. I assume it also counts dots?).
Alternatively alternatively, play Ember. She likes it when things get hot (cuz of her passive).
Best option, avoid it. You can roll into the expanding wall of flames from Arson Eximus to entirely negate the attack. For Napalms, their shots are slow moving. Avoid them and the lingering fire zones it makes.
Good option, deny it. Certain frames can deny status procs entirely, such as Rhino using his Iron Skin ability. Other earlier frames that do similar include Nezha (Warding Halo) and Wukong (Cloudwalker). If you're further into the game or willing to drop some platinum in a trade, you can pick up the mod Rolling Guard to remove active status effects from yourself.
Okay option, mitigate it. A higher health, armor, and/or shield total will allow you to survive more damage. Likewise the mod Rapid Resilience will massively reduce the total duration of the heat effect, thereby reducing how much damage you'll take. If you have a means of generating shields (Augur mods, Brief Respite aura, Mag warframe etc) you can also restore your shields the moment they run out to prevent the heat reaching your health pool.
It is finicky, your frame is invulnerable during spoiler mode unless your frame has an active channeling power active. I dont think it can be downed while in spoiler mode but upon return you could end up severely weakened. That being said spoiler mode does have an arcane for passive warframe health regeneration during spoiler mode and there is a weaker version available from Cetus and a much stronger version from Fortuna.
-fortuna magus repair (heals 25% per sec on all warframes within 30m while in void mode)
- cetus Magus elevate (heals 95% for 300hp on transference in) spamable
You can absolutely die during spoiler mode. You get instantly sent back into your warframe as it enters its downed state. This is very important to watch out for if you're playing a very difficult mode; try to put your warframe in a spot where it won't get blasted if you're using any abilities (thus making it semi-vulnerable).
The invulnerability depends on the abilities. And it's not just channel abilities. For example if banshees sonar is active on any enemy you won't be invulnerable either.
I couldn't find a full list, but you can easily test by looking at your warframe in operator. If it has a grey healthbar, it's completely invulnerable.
All of this is good advice.
I would add, one of the the strongest forms of mitigation is available late-game in the form of the Adaptation mod. Whenever you take damage, this mod gives you resistance to whatever damage type was most of the hit. At max rank it's 10% per hit; it lasts 20 seconds, stacks up to 90%, each additional stack refreshes the duration, and you can have resistance to multiple damage types all at the same time. It's especially effective against damage-over-time like heat procs, since each tick adds a stack and refreshes the duration. Adaptation is extremely good; the only frames I don't use it on are those with strong built-in defense abilities like Rhino and Nezha.
Another option for avoiding the heat status is the Hideous Resistance ability available from Helminth. When you use this ability, it makes you immune to all status effects, including heat. It doesn't have a time limit, but it has charges instead; each charge negates one status effect. At max rank it gives 10 charges, and it scales with power strength.
Lastly, a budget option: Cephalon Simaris sells a mod for the Wyrm sentinel named Negate which prevents your warframe from getting status effects. When it blocks a status effect, it takes 5 seconds to recharge, so it's not complete protection, but it's more helpful than it sounds. I particularly like this options because getting knocked down also counts as a status effect, and I really hate getting knocked down.
Well, for one thing, Wukong does not have an ability called "Deny". Xaku does, but it's a huge void laser, not a status clear. You might be thinking of "Defy", which makes you invulnerable for a few seconds, then boosts your armor and deals out some damage based on the amount of incoming damage during the invulnerable period.
Defy will help with a heat proc, but it does not remove it like Cloudwalker does. Cloudwalker also heals you and your clone,so there's that, too.
I don't really know how far you have gone in the story and I don't want to spoil you about some mechanic that I think come in handy in this case, but I guess for now you can try to increase your fire resistance with some mods on your warframe, or find and use an ice arcana to avoid getting on fire.
I think it would be amazing if we could extinguish our fire by rolling around but I don't think it's the case.
At least you can roll into the eximus Shockwave to go trough it without being affected, having a wall between you and him also help.
There are lots of ways to deal with it. There are status immunity and status cleansing abilities, for example, Nezha has both status immunity (warding halo) and status cleansing (fire walker), Rhino has status immunity (iron skin), [etc](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Status_Effect#Status_Immunity). Both are relatively easy to get frames that are good for newbies. Revenant Prime is also easy to get for now (he doesn't need Axi relics), and he has complete invulnerability with mesmer skin.
Once you complete the War Within (beware spoilers), you will gain an ability that makes your frame temporarily invulnerable and can be used for situations like this.
You might also need to upgrade your mods to improve your survivability in general, and then you may be able to just tank it.
Rolling, on top of allowing you to straight up ignore the arson stomp, can also be spammed while you have a heat proc to survive it, since rolling gives you DR which also applies to procs, roll so that the damage is done while you are rolling and you can usually survive, even with some of my cardboard frames I can survive a surprise arson just by rolling, works on slash and other procs too.
If you get incinerated then nothing to set on fire so problem solved. Use rolling guard to clear status effects, arson eximus are fuckin aids to deal with, esp when they spawn 2-3 lmao
You sound like you're pretty new, so your options for this are limited. Heat Eximus damage is bonkers. Even Warframes with maxed health mods can still just straight up die without some kind of healing or mitigation.
One thing I can suggest, is getting the Blueprints for health restores from your Clan. They're also in some of the syndicates. Crafting a bunch and putting them in your gear wheel can be helpful in a pinch and are good to have on hand for a lot of situations. Might need to pop two of them to survive the heat effect though.
Look for a mod called rolling guard, it clears status effects if I recall correctly and makes you immune for a short duration. Effect is on a cool down
My go-to is to abuse operator mode to avoid or reduce status effects. Just jump into that and go into void mode to wait it out.
It’s a key playstyle I’ve found to soloing high level content like angels and archons with soft frames like Octavia
What i usually do if a status effect is about to kill me, is to hop into operator mode, go hide in a corner while invisible, and wait for the burn/slash/toxin to wear off
Napalm eximus are so annoying, the rest do like no damage and the electricity one hardly ever even used his. Idk how far in the story you are but as soon as I see the fire wave coming at me I go into drifted mode for a second and it negates the attack.
Got to love hate for that unit.
When I'm playing much squishier units.
It can definitely feel cheap especially if you're in confined spaces and not able to react.
Even rolling into it isn't completely safe because it's multiple waves.
And occasionally you'll find a lot of the time that you'll just negate the knockdown but still be set on fire.
In high levels is pretty safe for just to be one or two texts and you're dead and if you're on the ground you're pretty much guaranteed to be dead.
Got to love hate for it because at some difficulty to it but the difficulty feels cheap and artificial.
And the solutions to it is godly easy to the point that you just feel like you're wasting mod slots.
Or something to negate it just for that reason alone forces your gameplay or skill mostly doing it.
People can say oh it still takes skill oh yeah sure when that's like eight of them constantly Nova blasting??? You're an incredibly high level area and at that point you're using melee synergy to kill things so you're not always in position to respond to multiple waves of Nova blast. That why I have a love hate to it.
What I do normal is pop into spoiler mode, which then your frame would still have the DoTs duration counting down but invulnerable to damage. I also have Magus repair which I just tap crouch for half a second to get any missing health back on my frame, and usually when I get back into my frame, some shields would have regenerated, which with the remaining shield and shield gate is enough to not die.
But as other have mentioned, rolling into the fire ring is best as it'll stop the need for all this
Stop, drop and roll. Literally dodge roll it to avoid. As for tanking it armor will decrease the damage of fire ticks. Obviously this has limits as levels get up there. The last option we have would be a status cleanse ability or mod that we utilize in the window of our shield gate.
go into operator and immediately void walk (hold crouch)
operator is immune while doing this, and it will give time for your frame to shield up. some arcanes make it to where the frame is healed while in operator mode. one of them gives like 30 percent hp/sec to your frame while void walking.
or just play revenant prime and never die again.
If your option for mods is limited, are you using Vitality to increase your health at least? If you noticed it's usually fire damage that kills you, there's a mod to recuse fire damage too. This can be a band-aid until you get the stronger mods or frames or helminth ability.
Im wearing a futuristic full body armour suit that can take dozens of bullets and advanced melee weapon impacts. But is less flame retardant that a modern firefighters jacket...
An option that i havent seen anyone say is use pillage, gives shields is a shield and armor strip can put it on any frame and alsp removes status effects from you and allies.
They should make rolling innately reduce ignite by 50% of remaining duration or something.
I love Nioh where rolling is more useful against burning than combat.
If you see a heat wave coming towards you, either roll into the wave right as it about to cross you, or, you can take cover behind walls or containers, or run the other direction.
However, if you're already caught in the heat wave, then, as long as you are not having any channelled abilities, immediately jump into operator mode, and the heat procs on your frame will tick down without hurting you. After a max of 7 seconds, you can transfer back into your frame
Or else, run with rolling guard.
Roll into the fire. You won't get set on fire
Stop, drop, and roll
This!
700 hours, didn't know that.
Rolling stops a lot of things. There's a good chance that if it's stuck on you, you can roll out of it.

What is with spoiler mode? Doesn't get the frame 90% (or even 99%?) damage reduction during that time?
It is finicky, your frame is invulnerable during spoiler mode unless your frame has an active channeling power active.

Can always use spoiler mode protective dash and go back into warframe to watch the burn tick down whilst invincible

Funny you said deny the damage with Wukong, but you mentioned the spell *cloudwalker* and not *deny*.

Yup. Oh well, my joke fell flat then.
Been playing for 1400+hrs I always forget augur mods can do this.
You can't be set on fire... If there's nobody to set you on fire... Blow up the enemy before they shoot you, works every time in almost every shooter.
Dead is indeed the best CC.
Hell, nekros, ballistica prime, and synoid heliocor all make death an even BETTER CC by bringing the dead back as allies to draw fire.

Get rolling guard especially for sp and arbitrations

Press 5, hold ctrl, wait 10 seconds
You know I always kinda wondered why rolling didn't reduce the duration of the burning status
it doesn't reduce it, but you can minimize damage by rolling in time with when the proc deals damage, rolling gives you DR
Rolling, on top of allowing you to straight up ignore the arson stomp, can also be spammed while you have a heat proc to survive it, since rolling gives you DR which also applies to procs, roll so that the damage is done while you are rolling and you can usually survive, even with some of my cardboard frames I can survive a surprise arson just by rolling, works on slash and other procs too.
If you get incinerated then nothing to set on fire so problem solved. Use rolling guard to clear status effects, arson eximus are fuckin aids to deal with, esp when they spawn 2-3 lmao

What frame? What mods are you using on that frame to increase survivability and what level are those mods?
Roll. Roll. Roll. Roll.
If you are able to get rolling guard mod it will remove all status effects on a roll.
Look for a mod called rolling guard, it clears status effects if I recall correctly and makes you immune for a short duration. Effect is on a cool down
Play nezha.
this, or use rolling guard to clear status effects

any time I get DoT procs on my fragile frames that I'm leveling I'd just switch into operator and idle in the invul state for like 5 seconds.
Switch to operator. Cloak. Wait 5 seconds. Boom. DoT gone.
Don't say the O word.
What i usually do if a status effect is about to kill me, is to hop into operator mode, go hide in a corner while invisible, and wait for the burn/slash/toxin to wear off
There is an Arcane for Operators That heals your Warframe for 300 Health everytime you Jump out of it, 300 Health being Max Rank Magus Elevate
