Update 34.0 (2023-10-18)
- COMPANION STAT CHANGES
Two broad changes have been made with regard to your Companion's base stats to increase their staying power:
1. Health, Shields and Armor have been refactored across the board.
This simple numeric buff was made with the goal of increasing Companion survivability. This also means that the choice of whether to use, for example, Enhanced Vitality or Linked Vitality, will depend on your Warframe choice instead of the Linked Mod always being strictly superior.
2. Non-Sentinel Companions now gain their full Health and Shield values immediately when you acquire them.
Historically Health and Shield values would increase as your Companion ranked up, which you could see as "Rank Bonuses" in the Upgrades screen. We've removed this behavior and simply given Companions what would end up being their Rank 30 values at Rank 0. This should let you immediately take your Companions on more difficult missions after earning them!
Including both the removal of Companion Rank bonuses, and the base increase to stats, the following lists the stat changes for all Companions at Rank 0:
Revised Vulpaphyla Stats (all types):
- 680 Health (from 180), 370 Shield (from 95), 200 Armor (from 50)

I caught two of these, but when I got back to Son they didn't show up in the revivification menu, as if I never had any. Hopefully I'll find another during the next Vome cycle... yay...
Same guy here: Somehow, I revived all 5 other infested companions without knowing they have to be hit by infested enemies, so I didn't know it was a requirement. Lovely stuff.
This sounds like a lunatic wrote this to someone who isnt a warframe player
God i love this game
Got ten in one run LOL
Did the method to get a weakened crescent, it got one shot by the enemy and i had wasted my charge and my time.
Had to wait until the next vome cycle.
Fuck this shit.
The worst vulpaphyla you can get. Sly will give you evasion. Panzer will spread viral for you. Crescent charges at an enemy and lifts it, then often just stands there staring at it and dies.
Still better than anything not a vulphaphyla, though.
Sly is worse actually. The evasion drops when you attack so it has an uptime of exactly 0.00 seconds
Dick move to make the Panzer and Crescent cycle-specific.
1) Vome
2) Full Duration Loki
3) Archwing + Vulpaphyla Echo Lure
4) Vulpaphyla Pheromone Gland before the second echo location
5) When Son starts speaking use melee to exit the conservation hotbar and use 2 to go invisible
6) Right click to go back into the conservation menu and use 1 to take out the rifle
7a) Snipe it from relatively afar if you just want the medals (always perfect)
7b) Mark it and the archwing away to lure some enemies to it if you want the companion (the creature stays there indefinitely, you just need to be careful not to get caught before the enemies kill it)
3000 standings for everything (you can achieve with a single bounty from Mother)
And Rank 1 from Entrati
It's that easy folks, people just like to complain.
Yikes
7b is wrong, they do despawn if you go far away enough
Worked great! Took about 10 minutes total and got a crescent on the first try.
Lmao
Came back to this game a few days after TNW came out and after not playing for over a year, and this is the first thing that got me annoyed/frustrated.
I followed the advice here of getting Crescent during Vome and I did get it during that phase, but my experience about getting that is not straightforward as you think. I got 2 Crescents and both weren't captured, before finally getting one. The first Crescent encounter I screwed up because my Ivara ran out of energy the moment it appears. Okay that's on me. But on the second Crescent, few runs after the first one, a Necramech showed up out of nowhere redirecting the mob's aggro, scaring the Crescent away.
Even the tracks itself are a problem. Like a third of the tracks lead to a lure point where no mobs exist nearby. Finding mobs to weaken the animal is half the challenge.
And how I got my Crescent? Purely by luck and coincidence. I had to wait for the next Vome phase. I got a Panzer on one track, and while getting to the next track, I saw an indicator on the HUD (the one where to capture weakened predasite/vulpaphyla), and, to my luck, it was a Crescent. It was a Bad Capture, but still good for revivification. If that didn't happen who knows how much longer I have to grind for this.
No idea why, but i dont get one's even if i catch them. I get only tags from capture. Did some1 had similar bug?
You want to get an injured one for making your own pet? The Vulpaphyla has to be attacked by Infested enemies and at low health, you can interact with them to get both the tag and the injured Vulpaphyla itself.
It did work, but thats kind of a hidden mechanic, don't you think? Thanks for the tip anyway.
1000 vizier and still 0 panzer and crescent at this point i believe warframe just hates me
I have a panzer. fantastic never dies. best way t0 get is use archwing and fly ar0und map and wait til u hear their cry. a marker will p0p up g0 t0 it and u will get 1 evenualy. culd use a lure wait till infeasted attack maybe,
I nearly had a stroke reading that.
For anyone reading this, you can get a Panzer very easily by using pheromones, since it's the rare variant of the Vulpa.
Always sly during vome nothing else. 250 slys during vome y'all are giving out some false info.
Ive spent hours in Fass and Vome trying to get one of these since day 1, and it finally dropped today. I spent literal months farming with really terrible luck. As per usual in WF..
.
I was lucky medjay and cresent dr0pped right away. really pretty steady i have g0tten quite afew f b0th.
Yup, Crescent Vulapaphylas only spawn in Vome, I can confirm that.
Crescent Vulpaphyla is absolute impossible to get, im in Deimos for 2 Weeks grinding this piece of trash cat without luck. I have over 50 from all craftable deimos companiones... but... not ... a... single .... fcking .... Crescent Vulpaphyla. Doesnt matter what, iff i hunt on Vome or Fass, iff i use Bait i get either Sly or Panzer... iff i use no Bait i get Sly... iff i fly for HOURS over the map scanning with the dartgun i get every fucking animal but not a Crescent Vulpaphyla... I officialy give up on this one, nonsense bugged out MR Fodder.
I was JUST able to get this Crescent on Vome, by the Daemos Terminus. I used the Vulpaphyla Pheromone Gland and I was able to get this one and the Panzer relatively quickly! Hope this helps
They're definitely rare. My advice is to NOT use lures/pheromones and just fly around during Vome. Randomly spawning ones will likely be in combat with resident infested... this is important for revivification reasons. If you get a Perfect Capture, you almost certainly failed (you just get the tags essentially).
Lmao I just got mine while doing the story quest on deimos XD
I was gonna pay somebody plat to get me one but then out of the blue i wasn't even looking to get one, i was doing random stuff on deimos and had spawn in the wild. No amount of bait ever spawned one for me ,always a panzer .On top of all that it's garbo mastery fodder.
Can confirm, i had hunted full cycles during Vome - Crescent always spawns, and during Fass - Panzer. With pheromones or without. I do not believe that is just RNG or luck. If anybody can confirm it too, will be great.
Yes, i can confirm, i was trying do get panze and he never came, i was at the Vome cycle, only came crescent vulpaphyla.
After dozens of panzers, i got a crescent during vome, from the call point south of infested seraglio (sometimes it's a cryptilex), no pheromone used
Just caught one today. XD was really lucky too as I was doing something else in Deimos.
Throughout my playtime on Deimos, it seems Crecents only spawns alone and Panzers spawns in Pairs.
It's Important to note that catching Predesite/Vulpapaya and turning them into a companion needs them to be weakened BY ENEMY ATTACKS.
My method and theory is: and this applies to the Cresents and Panzers only.
Once you get your RNG Luck, when they spawn DO NOT TRANQ THEM IMMEDIATELY, rather wait above in the air with your AW remaining unseen and watch their neutral movements. Once enemies are near in range to them GET READY TO TRANQ. The second these enemies attack & damage your Crecent/Panzer, they will change to a different movement (alarmed/weakend behaviour) THIS IS YOUR ONLY TIME TO TRANQ THEM. Because if you don't shoot them at this stage, you only have a few seconds before they go into the ground. By then, if you've not Tranq them, it's game over. You need to try and find them again...
I hope these tips helps you guys out, Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
Another method other than Hunting Crecent and Panzer out in the open is to use Pheramone Lures (buy it from Son). Deploy a Pheramone Lure just before you use the Echo Lure to call your target animal. Now, WHEN you get to the Echo Lure spot, DO NOT INITIATE IT YET, instead scout the area for enemies and pull/kite them to your Echo Lure spot so that when you call to your Crecent or Panzer (it's RNG by using the pheramone lure afaik) the enemies will attack your Crecent or Panzer and be weakened. Be sure to get ready and Tranq them. It seems that by this method the Crecent/Panzer will stay and fight the enemies like Slys would, unlike the other method where they spawn in the open world without a pheramone lure.
So yeah another tip for you guys! hope it helps! Good Luck! XD
All these comments are about crescent being hard to obtain while I just wanna know if these things are worth it ;-;
Compared to Panzer? Not really. The precepts are completely useless. The one that causes lifted status only applies to a single enemy. If it applied to all enemies in like 10m then yeah this pet would be worth it for sure. The precept that turns it into a sentinel (living forever) is only useful insofar as it helps keep vacuum/instinct active. The charge it does while in larval form is useless.
So then why obtain it in the first place other than mastery?
Mastery XP
Its n0t a tank pet like medjay. its utility that never dies. imagine carrier except never dies. great f0r camping in survival.
after +250 tries i came to the conclusion that this is a very horrible joke from DE.
ofc after making this comment i got one. during vome by using pheromone
wow, each of these comments here are about how hard finding a crescent vulpaphyla is, when im here with one in under an hour of searching, in fact, it only took 3 calls, 2 of which i used pheromones.
Oh look i got one under an hour, I cant understand how someone could have a much different experience from me in a RNG environment where even majority of the vulpa hotspots that spawn are also RNG ...
Sarcasm and obvious stuff aside once u u find the hotspot that works its a 5 - 10 min thing depending on ur luck
5-10 min i've been at it for more than 156 hours bruh rng is a complete horrible thing legit
This seems to work:
https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1227678-bestez-way-to-get-crescent-vulpaphyla/
"1-buy pheromones / use pheromones for the calling hotspot
2-I only tested during vome/blue (try fass if u want to test), but get in and see if u got a vulpa calling hotspot a bit south of infested seraglio, if not reenter till u do"
