    You can increase the clip size, increase reload rate to recharge faster I think?, or lower fire rate by swapping out fire rate effects for flat damage or whatever. Those might not be Optimal Damage though. Her augment mod that increases speed and fire rate every time she casts something will always be an issue though.

    Talking about titana, is there a way to build her so that the guns don't go dry in a second flat, and then take multiple seconds to build back up?

    Mine full-reload basically instantly, but I have no idea what I did. Basically shoot bursts is what I do, and I tend to never really have moments of "run dry" unless I'm really laying into something. I don't use the augment, but I do use Arcane Pistoleer (the fire rate one?) so... Maybe that's it? I assumed the aug would make you run dry all the time and "not shooting" is "not fun".

    Edit: Though since getting a Torid incarnon, I uh... Yeah Titania hasn't been coming out to play as much. That gun's fucking stupid, is what it is.

    Fine, this update has convinced me to redownload Warframe. I have a buuuuunch of content to catch up on, starting with the Zariman content I believe, then Duviri? Plus all the weapons and frames and stuff that was added? Plus I think they reworked spoiler mode? I haven't even logged in yet so I dunno yet but I'm excited to start

    There's a limited time event starting on the 18th that you have to have finished the Whispers in the Wall quest to start. In case that affects your planning

    I installed it last night and ran the launcher to update before I left for work this morning. But even if I start playing as soon as I get home, I dunno if I'll be able to finish all the required stuff by then. But we'll see!

    I have to keep reminding myself that not everyone's been immersed in Super Robot Wars for as long or as deep as I have. (And I'm still probably a bit on the casual side.)

    Xabungle is a post-apocalyptic dieselpunky kind of adventure(?) with an upbeat mood that's a bit at odds with its bodycount. Also, the protagonists actually have two Xabungle machines for about half the series.

    You absolutely, positively, 100% want to at some point go do Steel Path Circuit (Duviri activity) for the new Incarnon weapons. They range from "usable and fun" to "jfc what the fuck", and can be more busted than the Tenet Arca Plasmor could even dream of. (The Zariman Incarnons are also pretty good as a rule, one of the best secondaries, 2 of the best primaries, and a completely ridiculous set of whatsits, tonfas.)

    I think I'm at the point where it's actually time to learn how to get more power.

    I've ignored so much of the game because I've felt that you never really needed that much power to handle the vast majority of the content in the game. I've never really dealt with arcanes, helminth, liches, steel path, exilus, rivens.... I could go on.

    But then I saw the new bounties and that's some big numbers on those enemies.

    So, if I were to start ACTUALLY accruing some power, what's the skinny on that?

    I've done everything up to and including New War, but stopped right after that. So I should be mostly good to go, minus having to fiddle with anything that's changed since I last played.

    In fact, I just logged in and got the new quest, plus several other messages about other smaller missions and stuff. I'll probably still run through the Zariman and some Duviri stuff first though, just to be a bit more caught up (and rejigger all my focus stuff and get used to the new void sling thing?)

    Honestly, unless you don't like Steel Path at all, or hate the random-loadout concept, I don't know why not. It's kind of fun, and unless you're just not in possession of SP-level mods and equipment, it's honestly not that hard to do a couple-three rounds then dip.

    The open world is weird, and you just run around and do flashy stuff. As in "stuff that flashes", then eventually you decide you've had enough and bounce.

    "The Lone Story" is just the 5? 6? story encounters and is kind of on rails; this is how you get Pathos Clamps in the most efficient manner without some fucker picking flowers while you try to kill a wyrm. (All side objectives are disabled in there.)

    The circuit is just matchmade warframe-only horde mode, go till you think you can't; fail a mission lose it all. It's definitely the simplest activity. The amount of affinity and focus you pull in from a Steel Path run is absurd, and the Incarnons may be the single biggest weapon power spike I've seen in the game yet.

    I mostly cheese my way through the game with overpowered builds and strategies that trivialize encounter types entirely. If any of you want to do the harder content and are ok with that kind of gameplay, I mostly play on the weekends and enjoy grouping with our own folks before randos. I stopped doing the circuit before they added the second round of new stuff, so if that's what you want to try I'm down, doesn't matter how powerful you are as long as you have access to the missions.

    i hold an irrational hatred for duviri. i couldnt stomach getting through the quest.
    i like playing warframe, i dont like having to play a re-skinned operator with my hundreds of hours of progress removed so that she can equip swords that i'll never use.

    i know it's irrational and probably an extreme reaction, but don't take away my shit, DE. i wont engage, i'll go spend my time with one of the HUNDREDS of games different companies keep shoveling at me.
    but i will always come back for that sweet, sweet murderbot action that no one else delivers when you deliver it.

    So, if I were to start ACTUALLY accruing some power, what's the skinny on that?

    Kind of depends on what your starting point is.

    Do you have all or most of the star chart unlocked? If so you can do Arbitrations for Galvanized mods and Steel Path for primary/secondary arcanes. (Note that several star chart nodes are locked behind late game quest progression. If you're returning after 18+ months away those quests would be top priority. You need to do those quests to get access to Archon Shards which is another endgame power system.)

    Have you killed any Eidolons? Do you have any rep with the Quills/Vox Solaris? Aside from Steel Path those are where most of the good arcanes come from, although the Voruna/Citrine farms have some standouts.

    Liches/Sisters reward some of the most powerful meta weapons but you should have a survivable frame and some hard hitting weapons before starting them. The system is a little involved but once you have a few kills under your belt it becomes routine. If you can do sorties solo you're ready for liches.

    Helminth requires Deimos rep to unlock but once open you can start feeding it non-prime frames anytime. It's limited to one per day so this is more of a long term project. I'd focus on subsuming abilities with the widest utility or for survivability at first (Rhino, Grendel, Hildryn, Banshee, Nekros are all good picks to start).
    EDIT: DO THE SEVAGOTH ALERTS! He is a PITA to farm in Railjack and his subsume is great for survivability.

    I wouldn't worry overmuch about Exilus mods as they're usually QOL related, with the exception of (Primed) Sure Footed because getting knocked over in Steel Path level content can be a KO.

    Rivens are very much not necessary and it's easy to go down a rabbit hole of hunting godrolls so I'd recommend treating them as an "oh, neat" when one pops up for a weapon you like.

    My recommendations for players looking to get into high level content is first find a frame with excellent survivability (Revenant is an easy pick because of how simple it is to make him unkillable), get one meta weapon for each slot tricked out, and use that loadout to grow your power in other areas.

    Especially with the new melee arcane mod. +30% melee damage per 200 shield (max 14 stacks). ie, If you have 2800 shields, get +420% melee damage. Which is a pretty hefty bonus.

    There isn't some weird gimmick way to get electricity and heat uncombined on melee, I assume?

    Like I keep workshopping ideas for the Melee Influence arcane, but apart from, like, using electricity+Viral as a primer spreader, I'm drawing a blank.

    I'm also very confused by one of the bonuses on the Topaz archon shard.
    Recover 1 Health per enemy killed with Blast damage. Max 300 Health.

    Like... Huh? 'Recover' implies a heal, but why would there be a cap? Do they mean 'Gain' instead of 'Recover' and it's instead a shard alternative to Arcane Blessing?
