3 Phorid assasinations on Ceres-Exta, 2 Cells per 2 minute run (with almost no enemies killed besides the boss).

That's a rate of 1 cell per minute (double with a booster). Even half that is considerably better than in defense/survival missions, and you don't need a Nekros.

The trick to farming lots of these very fast is to take advantage of the conditions when they're at their optimum: When you have a Phorid Assassination on Saturn-Tethys or Ceres-Exta, and a Resource / Drop Chance booster as your daily log in reward, make the time to farm some.


 * Use a fast moving frame/use the opportunity to work on your parkour skills.
 * Have some kind of CC to handle swarms of mobs around Phorid, so you can get in close to focus damage.
 * This also avoids him doing his one shot missile attack because you're not at range while fighting him.
 * Stay behind him.
 * Bring a weapon with a ton of radiation damage.
 * Play solo. Waiting at the end for other players who can't parkour their way through the map fast really hurts your farming rate.

Nova is a really good frame for this, because MPrime doubles the damage of your weapon against the boss, slows him down so you can stay behind him, slows surrounding enemies, and makes them explode with AoE radiation damage when they die (it's actually possible to kill the boss by killing enemies around him). Save portals for the run to the exit. You don't want to get to the boss with no energy.
