I'm looking through the old 2023 stats page, and I see Caliban is extremely unpopular. Part of this is definitely availability, since he's gated behind a bounty farm after New War. But how much is it availability?

I get the sense that Caliban is a cult frame, split between people (especially YouTubers) who think he sucks and a minority that appreciates how wide his support toolkit is.

Will Caliban Prime give the sus space man some new appreciation, or will the stink stay on him forever?

I think equinox is in a pretty fine spot tbh, I put gloom over her single target ability and use the augment for extra slow and extra power strength on her 3 and just roll around with a crazy stacked slow (gloom and her 3 slow are multplicitive) with free great survivability with her 4 shield restore. Or, in lower level content, just be a giant area of slash procs. It's a good time

I have such mixed feelings about Equinox. On the one hand she technically has 7 buttons and basically unrivalled flexibility and capacity for self-expression. On the other, there's an aura of disappointment about her that her two big, unique abilities are both tied to Day Form, while Night Form seems to have slowly receded to being the prototype for other frame abilities. To me she feels conceptually inelegant and unsatisfying, a complex and nearly unique 7-button frame who's slowly faded into having two big buttons that are uniquely hers and remain powerful.

I think she deserves a deep rework to modernise her given the way the game is evolving past her, and to redress the way DE has basically pillaged her kit to give to later frames in an improved form. It's fine if she's a jack-of-all trades design that trades raw numbers for strategic breadth, but those numbers need tweaking and modernising.

Some things I don't like:

  • Peaceful Provocation's Pacify effect seems overly stringent, having four zones of effectiveness makes the outer slow pretty meh. I don't expect it to be Gloom, but maybe just two zones or reducing the harshness of the dropoff to the outermost zone. (Or maybe I've misunderstood and only the damage debuff falls off, I never actually labbed it.)
  • Energy Transfer should be baseline so you can play a form-shifting style out of the box without giving up an augment slot for it.
  • Mend's passive shield bump isn't really adequate with the amount of damage players take now on SP and beyond
