    I think it's still the same.

    Pablo was making jokes about nerfing Charm, though, so player beware.

    Pilfering swarm augment on his 4. So 4 should now be a reliable stun&loot ability.

    …shields had a baseline 25% DR? It’s going to be 50% now? Does the damage math of this game really work off of assuming it’s all actually halved before other reductions start getting involved on shields?

    I am suddenly super sad about warframe. I earned the tauforged from listening to the devstream which I normally forget to do, but didn't get off work in time today to claim it.

    If any of you are as out of touch as I am, know that twitch only holds drops for 1 day, then they taunt you with them still showing in your alert dropdown but forever out of reach in your inventory.

    Can combine both tbh. Both love duration/str, so you can spam slashy grenades and then coat the world in turrets, no problem.

  • Duke 2.0Duke 2.0 Time Trash Cat Registered User regular
    Slashy grenades are energy cheap enough to build up Protea’s passive so the turret can get the ability strength bonus. May as well throw out a bunch between turrets

    I can't remember exactly how I solved them, but while 28 was hard it wasn't the hardest and 30 felt like a breeze.

    Going over the list of MR tests 13, 19, 23 an 26 were the ones I remember being a pain in the ass.

    19 is interact with 5 orbs without being seen and escort a prisoner out. After a few tries foiled by patrols on other floors I ended up cheesing it by using Skiajati. I slid behind first mob and executed, then had 5 seconds of invis to get to the next one. I killed them all then did the orbs. Kinda fun!

    Now that Hydroid is getting his rework, I think the next one should be Caliban.

    Yeah, I know, I know, Inaros. Valkyr. etc. But I actually think Caliban exists in pretty much the same zone that Hydroid did/does.

    His 1 is unbelievably shitty, even by warframe damage-cast standards, and is an automatic replace via helminth.

    His 2 is a middling damage amp that gets ended the instant the enemy takes any animation/stagger effect (ie. impact, heat, etc.)(similar to Valkyr's Prolonged Paralysis tbh).

    His 3 doesn't even do the thing you want them to do (restore shields) half the time and have the curse of being shitty melee AI with slow animations.

    His 4 is his only half-decent ability because it strips defenses, but it doesn't even vacc properly (just causes enemies to fall over after getting pulled MAYBE two feet), and the fallout zone STRAIGHT UP DOESN'T RENDER IF YOU'RE A CLIENT. This has been a bug SINCE RELEASE and has never been fixed.

    Bro doesn't even have a single augment to his name and he has been out for almost two years at this point. I think the devs forget he exists sometimes. Caliban needs God.

    I like how caliban looks, so I play him sometimes, but I almost never use abilities when I do but not so much because they suck as that they aren't really interesting. I'll work around a lack of function as long as something is compelling.

    It's interesting, after a hiatus, how I react to feeding Helminth-chan.

    There's 'frames I never once would have considered feeding prior to my break.

    3 is honestly a pretty strong defensive ability for two reasons. The first is because of how high the threat level is on his summons. The AI will shoot at them instead of you as long as they're closer. The second is that the shield recharge doesn't have a delaytime. It will reset his shields which will allow for shieldgating.
    4 is one of the stronger armor strips in the game.

    If there is a rework it should be Inaros, because Mesmer skin is more powerful than his entire ability set.

    yeah currently doing Caliban like

    1+2 is Spin2win

    3 is BEHOLD: MY ADDS

    4 doesn't exist

    this is still better than like. Excal.


    *edit* Mesmer Skin has been broke since day 1 and I resent the FUCK out of it because pre finisher rework my Index go-to was Fatal Teleport Ash which REQUIRED FUCKING SKILL, DE..... and even after I kludge'd that shit with Xoris and then they nerf'd Xoris and I was like OK, FINE

    And then I did Mesmer Skin Revenant and was like "Why do I even try" on Index because that's nearly AFK mode. know where the energy spawns are and just zzzz mmm energy and that's. it.

    Tons of frames are worse than Mesmer Skin because Mesmer Skin is fucking stupid. Why they buffed it like that around the release of the prime strains my good faith.

    excalibur's actually pretty good, purely off radial blind, and sword beams are viable if you use the augment and build for them.

  • FiendishrabbitFiendishrabbit Registered User regular
    The only thing sad about Excalibur is...why Excal when Kullervo is there? Umbra has his anti-sentient schtick, but Kullervo with Paracesis is again doing that better. Kullervo is a cool frame, but he's really crimping Excals and Ashs style.

    Excal has his Exalted blade (which is cool), Radial Blind (which is also cool, especially with radiant finish allowing you to stab for crazydamage. Good for those "10 finisher" nightwaves) and then slashdash and Radial javelin which are just not nearly as cool as they should be.

    To be fair, the "why Excalibur" question has been there for years, even with umbra

  • Commander ZoomCommander Zoom Registered User regular
    Because Excalibur is fun, was a fuck of a lot easier to get than Kullervo, and doesn't require a video to explain his meta and how you should build/use him.

    I can’t imagine I’ll be getting Kullvero unless I buy him with plat now that his event is done.

    That the event is done is not really a problem. As long as the spiral is Anger, Sorrow or Fear you'll be able to run his event (and it's easily soloable with a few decrees collected).

    The challenge with Kullervo is farming the materials if you don't regularly go to Duviri.

    Lone Story and Duviri Experience. But you have a better shot at it in Duviri experience (playing solo) since getting a few decrees makes it much easier (and you'll have to farm fish and chests and plants anyway).

    My understanding of how it spawns outside of the fancy event node, is that the duviri experience it will always be there, but if is grabbed as one of the story steps, you have to wait for that step to do it, and solo story if it does not roll as one of the steps I do not believe you can go and do it anyway

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    I'm a big fan of excal, especially in the circuit these days, he really does work. He's been a lot less appealing since the parkour changes though, peak excal was just before they added bullet jumping etc. when his power set was pretty much the only frame with the kind of mobility we have now. Was so fun back then in comparison to all the others.
