Zhuge, Mercury Pantheon grineer exterminate(enemy level 6-8). 1st mission, Unranked to level 16. Second mission. Level 16 to level 27. Third mission, Level 30.

I did cheat this. Used a ffinity booster and MR 16 allows me to add a mod or two. Still, if solo, stealth kills are the way to level up stuff. More if what you are leveling is either throw away MR fodder or re-leveling your recently forma-ed stuff. A simple level 6-8 mission like the above example has the potential of rewarding more than 100K affinity a run without boosters (counting end bonuses as well). Double that with one.

 As warframes go, I used Banshee, Ivara and Loki for these. Banshee for when the weapon is too low level to add sound mods. Loki mostly to level melee weapons and Ivara for silent ranged stuff. I used Ivara for the Zhuge mentioned above and got a dual skana to 30 in a similar fashion with Loki. Leveled a Bolto like that too using Banshee.

 Been leveling through exterminate only because it's the easiest mission type, but you could mix this into stuff like Spy or Sabotage, where objectives add even more affinity.
