An overview of Amps and how they perform when using Madurai, Eternal Eradicate and Eternal Onslaught and some info on where to get these components and my very brief opinion on how they feel to use.
A lot of this post will be aimed more at people who have recently unlocked Operators/never really bothered with Amps. You may still find the brief captura previews helpful if you wanted to see an Prism/Scaffold's fire-mode though.
Video showing how various Amps perform when buffed. The first Shield Break after a captura preview shows damage with Void Strike while the second Shield break does not use this buff.
Table of Amp Components
*Numbers represent parts in this order. A 1-2-3 Amp would have the Raplak Prism, Shraksun Scaffold and the Lohrin Brace.
This should only be considered a rough guide for Amp performance for various reasons:
For newer players with only a Mote Amp, roam around the Plains of Eidolon at night and hunt for Vomvalysts. Return to Cetus and fast travel to Quill Onkko to trade in the Sentient Cores for standing. You want to replace the Mote Amp with anything else as fast as possible but do not sell the Mote Amp until you have finished Guilding it and finished ranking it back up to 30. Prisms are the only Amp Component that count towards mastery, Scaffold and Braces are ignored.
The easiest place to level an Amp would be Sanctuary/Elite Sanctuary Onslaught, you must be in operator mode for affinity to go to your Amp. Return to Onkko to Guild your Amp and level it back to 30 one more time to get all the mastery from it.
First start with the first Amp you can craft, and continue ranking up your standing with the Quills until you reach rank 3 (Adherent) to unlock Guilding and the Lohrin Brace becomes available which is the best Brace that will be available to you (for the majority of Amps) until you get into ranking up Vox Solaris on Fortuna. In the meantime build an Amp with your favorite Prism + Scaffold + Lohren Brace (x-x-3), and if you have extra Quills standing consider picking up Magus Nourish, Virtuous Strike or Virtuous Shadow.
Find a guide for capturing the first Eidolon that focuses on basics not doing it fast (first you get good then you get fast). The Sentient Cores dropped from the Eidolon are worth more than what come from Vomvalysts, so its worth it to try taking down this Boss for its drops (Arcane Nullifier can be farmed here, and is helpful for anyone starting out Eidolon hunting). Public lobbies usually aren't too bad for this bounty, and tend to go faster than solo. Eidolon Shards are also one of the possible ways to can rank up your focus schools, the others being killing Thrax on the Zaramin/Duviri or Focus Lenses.
Once you get to Fortuna and rank up Vox Solaris (one of the harder Syndicates to rank up, try farming for Toroids if you have a resource drop booster from Sortie, Special Event, or get a Relay Blessing) you will have access to the Amp components 4-7 on the table linked earlier. The Certus Brace (x-x-7) is generally considered the best brace for most Amps.
Play missions on the Zaramin to farm Eternal Onslaught/Eradicate as well as Amp Arcane Adapters which can be purchased from Cavalero to fit an extra Amp Arcane.
Here is a link to the previous Amp video I made which is closer in line to the damage newer players can expect without the damage boosts from Madurai, Eternal Onslaught, or Eternal Eradicate. If any Prism/Scaffold seems to take an excessively long amount of time to break shields/misses often, you might want to consider using a different Prism/Brace.
If you want to build an amp aimed towards Void Angels, you will want to take into account the range required to hit the Void Angel depending on where it in the Arena as some amps may have issues hitting it depending on where it is in the arena.
For most missions, you probably won't have any issues killing a Void Angel, but if you're doing Steel Path/Void Armageddon, you may want to increase your damage a little more to deal with scaling. I'm not sure if this is an oversight but inside the arena, Void Angels have the Flesh health type. This means that you can use Virtuous Trojan to convert some of your amp's Void Damage into Viral which does 50% damage to Flesh. You can inflict up to 4 stacks of Viral on a Void Angel. *Avoid using a Maxed ranked Virtuous Trojan as you will be reducing the amount of damage that can be done to a Thrax in its spectral form.
Another Arcane that you can use is Magus Melt which will add Heat to your operators attacks on Void Sling. This Arcane does not convert a portion of your Void Damage the way Virtuous Trojan does, so you will not have any issues using a Maxed Ranked Magus Melt. The 4 status cap still applies to this status type.
The Focus School which works best for this is probably Unairu, thanks to its ability to spawn Wisps which double your Amp's Damage, and its Abilities which fully strip Armor and Shields.
Madurai comes in second for making use of Last Gasp/Killing Regular Enemies. While it has higher peak damage than Unairu thanks to Void Strike, it only has this buff for 8s followed by a 40s cooldown. Madurai also has the Contamination Wave ability which makes enemies hit by it take 50% more vulnerable to Void Damage. At higher levels Madurai starts to fall off due to Scaling Armor/Shields.
Naramin's Void Levitation + Lethal Levitation is similar to Madurai's Contamination Wave, boosting damage for each lifted enemy (+50% each stack) up to 4 stacks. The enemy must be damaged while lifted to grant a stack. Enemies with Overguard cannot be lifted.
Zenurik/Vazarin don't really have any abilities that make it easier to kill an enemy with an Amp.
Arcanes like Magus Melt and Virtuous Trojan will make it easier to kill enemies with an Amp, and Debuffs like Banshee's Sonar also work to boost Amp Damage.
*Virtuous Troja converts a portion of Void Damage to Viral, this means you will do less damage to anything that requires Void Damage to be damaged.

This guide mostly applies to farming Protea parts from the Granum Void but you may also find it useful for quickly cycling through Tenet Weapons to Valence Fusion, or spawning a Sister with a Radiation Progenitor.
To farm Protea, you need to reach rotation C in each tier of the Granum Void (Neuroptics in T1, Systems in T2, Chassis in T3). The easiest way to do this is with an Octavia modded mostly for Range and Duration and some Strength.
When you spawn into the Void, you want to find an edge of the map with few obstructions on the ground (Mallet requires Line of Sight) and throw Octavia's Mallet and Amp between you and the rest of the map.
Like This
By being on the edge of the map you've restricted the spawning area of the Void Specters, and they should all be forced to spawn within Mallet's range.
My preferred mission for farming the Void would be Capture. From testing, the capture target can not escape on the Corpus Crewship Tileset (or the tile required for that fail-state just never spawned). Do not Capture the target until after after you've completed the Granum Void side mission as enemy spawning is disables shortly after completing the main objective and may cause issues if you're waiting for the Treasurer to spawn to drop a new Granum Crown. Once you're finished in the void it is safe to complete the mission's main objective, wait around until the Treasurer spawns to replace the Crown you spent to enter the Void.
(Neuroptics)
For this part, I would farm the Capture mission on Phobos>Skyresh. A "Granum Crown" (Tier 1) is required for drop table containing the Neuroptics. The Treasurer also drops this same Crown, so you only really need the initial coin to begin farming.
(Systems)
The "Exemplar Granum Crown" is required for this drop. The Rescue mission on Neptune>Triton is probably the easiest one to perpetually farm the Void. Be sure to complete the void first before saving the Rescue Target, or you may run into issues with the Treasurer not spawning, and the rescue target dying within the Void.
(Chassis OR Tenet Weapons)
"Zenith Granum Crown" is required for the Chassis to drop. The best mission for this is Pluto>Hydra, and everything mentioned earlier about farming Capture missions applies here, the capture target can't escape as far as I can tell, and completing this objective before the Void can cause issues with the Treasurer/Candidate not spawning before spawns stop.
For the Main Protea Blueprint, you either need to pick that up from completing the Deadlock Protocol (Don't think you even have access to the void without this mission completed), or from Simaris for 50,000 standing.
*I've tried to keep this guide as brief as possible while still explaining everything, if you run into issues or think I've missed something, let me know and I'll work on correcting the guide.
You can Bring the Xoris, and use it to free the Solaris Prisoners if you need a little more time in the Void. Collecting Spectral Debris will also increase the time you can spend in the Void.
Currently the easiest ways to get an Octavia if you don't currently have one is to check the Duviri Circuit as it is one of the possible Warframes on Week 9. (It can take a while to farm for her Neuroptics through Survival if you're really unlucky, and requires you to do her quest/pick up the main blueprint and Mandrachord from Simaris if you no longer have base Octavia.)
The other ways to get Octavia would be to wait for Prime Resurgence or selling your extra prime parts on https://warframe.market and finding someone selling her set for a reasonable price.

Warframe situates players as members of the Tenno race, newly awoken after years of cryo-sleep into a solar system at war. Reborn into a corrupt era, the Tenno are sought by the oppressive Grineer Empire for annihilation. Warframe armor is the key to overthrowing the Grineer by providing players with unique offensive and defensive powers to explore, upgrade and master during purpose-driven radical raids.
