do the manics in the anniversary alert drop ash parts?
i do NOT want to do more defection to be able to craft the ephemera :/

I know defection has the highest chance of spawning them but doing any Grineer survival mission for over 15 mins also spawns them. I trashed dozens of Ash parts recently and needed that systems for ephemera and got it in few 20 mins sessions.

well, 15 mon survival just for 1 drop? which can be not systems? sounds awful :( Tried defections for like 2hours - no Ash systems :( reeee

15 minutes is the maximum for a guaranteed manic spawn. I believe the first one can come at 6-7 minutes

In a survival of "medium" difficulty or higher (level 15+ IIRC), it will be a guaranteed spawn at 15m (and I forget if any subsequent spawns are, but it's not a fast spawn rate at all). You're better off running a non-endless mission and just triggering the alarms, or doing a defection.
Survivals are nice because you can guarantee a manic will spawn within literally seconds of 15 minutes (10s in either direction), but it's also reeeaaally slow.

Slow yes, but I do 15-20 mins survivals solo recently just to get those fugitives and/or Wolf. Basically it is a guaranteed that at least 1 group will spawn during this time and often it happens it spawns 2 at once - made over 1k NW standing just today.
Hey, I got Wolf 2 times today doing Selkie survivals. OFC got awesome Cold damage mods from him but at least I saw him finally!

Oke, sounds better. ty

They should afaik.
You could also do kuva survival for manics since a lot of groups prefer to do long runs of that.

Unfortunately they don't. I scanned them, and the codex doesn't show any ash drops on nightwatch manics, while it does show them for regular manics.
This is correct. Nightwatch Manics (and Drekar Manics, while we're on the subject) don't drop Ash parts.
