Warframe

Behold the Nuktron! Unholy amalgamation of Nukor and Latron!

In all honesty, just a little clipping issue but I found it amusing enough to share.

Hello everyone !

After a long break, I want to get back into warframe, and I want to play it on my steam deck. Unfortunately for me, the input from the mouse and the keyboard doesn’t seem to work well. For now I can’t even play and I’m sad !

Anyone here had the same issue and did you solve it ?

Thx in advance !

The first warframe, master of the sword, influence goes brrrr - Excalibur!

Passive: Excalibur has improved mastery in the Tenno art of the blade, receiving +10% Attack Speed and +10% damage bonuses for melee attacks while wielding swords, dual swords, nikanas and rapiers.
Slash Dash - Dash between enemies while slashing with the Exalted Blade.
Radial Blind - Emits a bright flash of light, blinding all enemies in a small radius for several seconds.
Radial Javelin - Launches javelins towards enemies, dealing high damage and impaling them to walls.
Exalted Blade - Summon a sword of pure light and immense power.

Acquisition: Available as one of the three starting Warframe options. Otherwise his main blueprint can be purchased from the Market, component blueprints can be obtained from defeating Lieutenant Lech Kril on War, Mars.

So, got in yesterday to check out the new update, prepped everything for the new missions, then headed onto KIM before starting to play, to get the chats out of the way.

I've been dating Lettie since first possible, kept the relationships through the resets. She had an unread message, opened it, asked me what would take me away from her. I went for the full-on romantic option, she instantly dumps me, and now acts insulted if I ask her to date me again.

Truth is, I can't complain about this, it's believable. I've been subjected to this kind of vehement and impulsive behaviour many times before, and it doesn't suck any less this time, so it has to be realistic. But, man, did it put me off playing this game, to be very honest. Just made me want to get away from the mess.

Let's talk about 'em! I'll drop a post underneath and update it as I get more weapons.

New Protoframes, new Warframe, Infested Coda, Excalted Weapons rework, Ash retouch.

And it's Zephyr! Specifically, Funnel Clouds seem to resolve before attenuation is applied. I've been successfully oneshotting acolytes with my heavy slam Melee Duplicate Magistar across both rounds.

I haven't tested if this a property of the blast interaction with tornadoes, or if non-blast heavy slams (which are rare) also nuke enemies before attenuation applies. I also haven't tested if this is specifically a result of Melee Duplicate shenanigans with tornadoes or if, say, Doughty builds such as the Ruvox would also work.

Zephyr stays winning!

I have a full gauss prime set and don't know if I should sell it.

More broadly, I hesitate to find the balance between building prime weapons and warframe or selling for plat because I don't have any slot available. I started to put some sell offers on warframe.market and now wait. Should I sacrifice a bit Mastery ranks and trying warframes for plat ? To conclude; good game to everyone, and I hope you can farm what you all want :)

A blade in the shadows, master assassin, the actual ninja in a space ninjas game - Ash!

Passive: Slash procs inflicted by Ash's weapons and abilities deal 25% more damage and last 50% longer.
Shuriken - Launches a spinning blade of pain, dealing high damage and impaling enemies to walls.
Smoke Screen - Drops a smoke bomb that stuns enemies and obscures their vision, rendering Ash invisible for a short time.
Teleport - Ash teleports towards the target, bringing him into melee range and making enemies vulnerable to finishers.
Blade Storm - Project fierce shadow clones of Ash upon groups of distant enemies. Join the fray using Teleport.

Acquisition: Main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. Component blueprints are obtained from Venus Proxima (Systems), Neptune Proxima (Neuroptics), and Pluto Proxima (Chassis) Survival, Defense, Exterminate, and Volatile missions.

Thermal Sunder, Nourish, Roar, and Xata’s Whisper.

With Emerald Shards as a passive.

🙄

This was an interesting tip I was able to confirm: if you have Last Gasp unbound and enabled on Vazarin, and you bring a Vasca Kavat with Transfusion, as long as you're solo you can use Last Gasp to Vaz-rez your Vasca who will then revive you. Transfusion does not have a cooldown when soloing. Although as Vaz, the only thing that can kill you is not having access to Protective Sling.

More methods I'm working on include using Void Sling to clip out of the arena and leaving some sort of distraction behind, like Decoy, an Ancient Protector, or maybe a Styanax specter.

As a Vazarin player I firmly believe nothing in this game should be executionally difficult, I just need to lab out the most convoluted cheese imaginable.

I was reminded on a lemmy post today of Little Duck's Disruption dialogue where she says

"Looks like Alad was so keen to make the sale, he didn't close every back door. Greed makes a person sloppy, hotshot, remember that. Enjoy the boost."

That got me thinking and I was curious what other Tenno's favorite mission dialogues are. Could be theme for a whole mission or one line. Fittingly I think my favorite is probably Little Duck in disruption, though Conjunction Survival gets an honorable mention with

"The Grineer and Corpus came here in search of treasure but only found oblivion. They are trespassers here. You are not.

And of course who can forget the terror of Mott itself Corrupted Vorr's speech haha

I’m getting into some heated discussions because no one else believes this info. And in fact, the wiki itself doesn’t match this info on the Damage page.

People seem to think that Corrosive is the be all end all of damage now, and if this is true, it’s just not right.

Because according to my codex, every faction is now resistant to everything they aren’t weak to.

The rock, puncher supreme, 0% neck slider - Atlas!

Passive: Atlas is immune to Knockdown while in contact with the ground.
Landslide - Bash enemies with an exploding sliding punch, and repeat for a devastating combo. Petrified enemies take extra damage, and drop Rubble when destroyed. Rubble can heal Atlas and bolster his armor.
Tectonics - Summon a rock-wall, activate again to send the rocks crashing towards the enemy.
Petrify - Atlas' hardened gaze will fossilize foes, heal Rumblers, and create Petrified Bulwarks. When shattered, petrified enemies drop healing Rubble for Atlas.
Rumblers - Summon two elemental stone brawlers to the melee. Summoning petrifies enemies in close proximity to Atlas. When finished, Rumblers collapse into a pile of healing Rubble.

Acquisition: Main blueprint is awarded after completing The Jordas Precept Quest. Component blueprints can be obtained from defeating the Jordas Golem on Jordas Golem Assassinate, Eris.

Spend your tokens or grind more for the arcanes you're missing before that day!

Speaking of... which arcanes are you getting / are worth getting? Arcane Velocity is a must-get considering how useful it is for some builds and (relatively) cheap in terms of event tokens, right?

Anything else you want to give a shout-out to?

The necromancer, master of the dark arts, the original loot frame - Nekros!

Passive: Nekros and his Companions regenerates 5 Health when an enemy dies within 10 meters of him.
Soul Punch - A blow so powerful, it turns the enemy's very soul into a deadly projectile, damaging all in its path.
Terrify - Casts fear into the hearts of nearby enemies, causing them to run away in terror.
Desecrate - Forces fallen enemies around you to drop additional loot.
Shadows of the Dead - Summons shadow versions of vanquished enemies to fight alongside you for a short period of time.

Acquisition: Main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. Component blueprints can be obtained from defeating Lephantis on Magnacidium, Deimos.

So I think moa companions are really cute and charistmatic but other than a blast shield equipped moa being a tankier but much less reliably shooting alternative to a verglass / contaigous bond sentinel I can't really justify using one over a beast or a sentinel with more useful precepts.

Anyone got any cool moa secrets for me?

It's another broken slam setup!

Styanax is an interesting candidate for a slam character, for a few reasons:

• His kit is innately defensively complete once he uses his Intrepid Stand augment.
• He has innate shield generation to fuel Empowered Blades
• He has a passive that directly buffs most slam weapons

Styanax's defensive power also means he has very flexible modding, which I abused to combine Arcane Consequence, Nira's Anguish and 4x parkour shards for a very speedy boy with frightfully powerful slams.

Not needing to run knockdown exilus in general opens up Nira's Anguish, which is in my opinion the most unreasonably powerful exilus in the game: it provides 15% parkour speed, 100% pressure point and 100% seismic wave-type damage to slams, including combo slams and slam-type ground finishers. (According to the wiki, at least--I haven't rigorously labbed and replicated all of these findings.)

At 180% strength, Rally Point totally refunds the cost of Empowered Blades. Going past is still preferable, as it leaves room for enemies surviving and more importantly charges Styanax's passive. To recap, his passive is that every 40 shields, including Overshields, he gains 1% modded crit chance on all weapons. With Primed Redirection and full overshields, this is 94% CC totally for free.

For less KPM-intensive missions, Styanax can pivot this build to a single-target killer by opting instead for Melee Retaliation and Ready Steel aura, giving him a 6x initial combo and 420% pressure point.

So, what is the build?

The skeleton is very minimal:

• Blind Rage or Transient Fortitude + Intensify for >180% strength
• Primed Redirection or similar shield stacking
• Empowered Blades aura
• Intrepid Stand

And you're done!

My personal loadout is:

• Blind Rage, Umbral Intensify
• Overextended
• Primed Continuity
• Primed Flow
• Primed Redirection
• Nira's Anguish
• Intrepid Stand, Axios Javelineers
• Arcane Consequence, Molt Augmented

I run Overextended and heavy strength stacking to round out Styanax's objective defense and party support.

The huntress and her loyal companion, mistress of chains, Whipclaw goes brrrr - Khora!

Passive: Khora's ferocious Kavat, Venari, fights alongside her with steadfast zeal. While Venari is alive, Khora passively gains a 15% movement speed boost. If Venari is killed, she will respawn beside Khora after 45 seconds, or instantly if summoned via the third ability for an energy cost.
Whipclaw - Send enemies reeling with a deafening whipcrack.
Ensnare - Bind a hapless target in living metal, entangling others who stray too close. Whipclaw will refresh the trap allowing it to capture more enemies.
Venari - Command Venari to focus on a target. Hold to cycle between Attack, Protect, and Heal postures. If Venari is killed, use this ability to revive her instantly.
Strangledome - Weave a dome of living chain that ensnares and strangles any enemy within, and any foolish enough to approach. Foes outside the trap will try to hasten their comrade's deaths by shooting them. Crack Whipclaw on the dome to further damage any trapped enemies.

Acquisition: Main and component blueprints are acquired from standard Sanctuary Onslaught.

Does the critical DMG multipler from the Melee Doughty arcane apply to primary and secondary weapons as well? Does show in the UI but I wonder if anyone has tested it

Pretty neat toy for all movement enjoyers.

Seem to be good with bullet jumping for rapid change in direction.

Nezha has an interesting bug where coptering right before you touch the ground preserves his low slide friction property, letting him skate along extremely quickly. You need to hold the crouch input, but he'll retain his upright run animation despite having low slide friction.

I managed to trigger coptering to inherit Zephyr's Tail Wind once, but never again. Not a bad tool for her though, and an okay blast implement for Funnel Clouds memes.

Generic tech where full-body casts retain the copter speed boost, so cancelling the copter into a cast lets you continue moving forward at speed while you cast. Great fun with Rhino Charge cancel and Blending Talons cancel.

With a high enough attack speed, coptering can be strung into an aerial heavy slam. Great for double Nira builds wanting to do something a bit different from punching the ground or hitting it with the Magistar incarnon.

What have people found? They're certainly unique, and I love getting new mobility tools.
