Warframe

[Astro Galactic Megalul]

Fun fact: the knockdown from Ulfrun's Descent applies to Acolytes... who seem to have no recovery animation... which means they just lie there while you claw their eyes out. So, if your fast enough, you can RKO that bitch and not have to worry about his silence.

I just watched Brozime's build video where he mentioned and demonstrated it, pretty damn funny

Now I suddenly feel like finding all the other ways to knock them down on their ass

That's the thing, though: it's really carried by it's augment.

Isn't that largely the case with most frames though? At least as far as more "recent" frames go, it took my Sevagoth both of his two available augment mods for him to really pop off and start getting somewhere with his 1/2 combo.

Yup, the ol' "Bandaid Augment" argument. Some I agree with (like Sevagoth and Lavos) while others feel more like actual sidegrades (like Kullervo).

Maybe for Wrath of Ukko, but Volatile Recompense is probably one of the most cracked augments in Warframe. That shit might as well read "you are unkillable for 25 seconds" and they also sprinkled some free CO stacks onto it as well. Between Volatile Recompense and Persistance, if someone goes into bleedout, I'm leaving their ass because there is no excuse for dying as him.

I only dabbled in the game for a bit and started playing a bit more recently. Currently, I'm just playing the waiting game to farm the Necramech blueprints so I can start The New War. And I'm currently directionless besides following questlines and trying to finish the star chart (still a long way from Steelpath).

I don't really know what frame or weapons to farm for atm. I started with Excalibur and now using the Umbra version because I do like melee but going with something a bit more generalist would probably help me. I have not gotten any other frames yet. And the MR fodder Boltor is already feeling so bad to use especially in more open layouts that I'm using melee most often (Skiajati atm).

I watched some Youtuber say that I should join a clan and get Wukong first but his explanation boiled down to it lets you cheese spy missions and it dies less than your starting frame which doesn't really convince me.

So what frame and weapons should I work towards?

Rhino's a safe bet. His kit is reliable even as you move to the Steel Path, and a year or two back DE reduced his final crafting time from 3 days to 1 day. All his component blueprints drop from the Jackal on Venus, while his main BP is Market-purchasable. If you can luck into Rhino Prime via trade, that's fantastic (and he has no MR requirement), but the plat cost is around 80-90 for a full set (and his final crafting time remains 3 days).

Joining a clan, even founding a solo clan for your own personal use, gives a ton of advantages since a good chunk of weapons (and 3 warframes) are only available there.

So what frame and weapons should I work towards?

Ideally, everything as everything you level increases your mastery rank allowing access to more stuff (plus more standing earnings per day, more void trace capacity for relics, loadout slots, etc), but if you want to focus on melee oriented warframes then Wukong is indeed the Chinamen's choice, alternatively Valkyr if you want to Rip and Tear. Rhino is a very good option for warframes that are both durable and can dish out damage, and Mesa is a decent option if you want a warframe that focuses more on ranged combat and is basically immune to damage from ranged attacks once built. Saryn's a warframe you play if you want to kill things you can't even see.

For primary ranged weapons for large open spaces, the Rubico Prime sniper is generally my go-to.

If you want to join a clan just for quick access to clan warframes/weapons just say the word as I have mostly everything unlocked in my solo clan. Alternatively, you can build one up yourself though you will be spending quite a lot of forma to do so.

So what frame and weapons should I work towards?

Everything right now. I'd say make your goal to get to MR8, MR10, then MR15. MR8 is where you start getting fun weapons that you will use the rest of the time you're playing (and the helminth), MR10 unlocks even more weapons good weapons (stahlta and aeolak are my most used rifles), and MR15 basically unlocks the entire game for you.

Warframes are pretty easy to farm and a lot of those missions will also give weapon parts, buy a bunch of the market weapon BPs and build them, so you can just have a bunch of finished weapons you can sell after maxing them. Just make sure you don't need the weapon for another BP like the cernos. I'd also work on ranking up Deimos. you can get the Cedo, good companion mods, and the Helminth there.

I don't really know what frame or weapons to farm for atm

You got good advice already, I just wanted to add one thing. Don't think too much about forcing progress, although ranking up anything will get you more MR. No hurry, it's a very grindy game.

Whatever seems cool for whatever reason (for example a weapon/warframe you see others use), make a mental note, check how to get there. Little goals you can set for yourself. In the end, WF is about doing cool shit and looking good while doing it, even after you've burned through a lot of the content.

When you find "your thing", be it a warframe ability combo, a weapon or a gamemode you really enjoy, it can be like an anchor point and the rest of the game starts to open up.

By the way, you don't actually need to make your own Necramech any more to start The New War. I was able to do that quest just fine with the loaner it gives you for it.

That being said, you should at least consider making progress with the Railjack system. You will need a working Railjack and at the very least a good few Intrinsics unlocked along the way. Engineering is especially useful since Rank 10 there (though not strictly required for TNW) allows you to repair your Railjack remotely if need be, but apart from that you should still be able to manage through it as long as you have decent enough mods equipped onto it.

I don't know why the playerbase is so ride-or-die on making Voruna's 4 an exalted when they could just add enemy level scaling and not require me to dump another 3-4 forma into her.

Cedo/ Prime, Coda Pathocyst, Kullervo, Volt/ Gauss for some reason is if you don't have one, Dual Ichor, Saryn, Dual Okina, Kuva Zarr on an elite crewmate with AR buffs, Tenet Arca Plasmor, Thalys/ all of the Zariman Incarnons, and Dante if you want to play AFK.

Really though the most imperative thing is that you need to farm mods. All of these are not really so good out of the box unless you farm corrupted/ nightmare/ primed mods.

Not really though. You can get through base game super easy with just serration and maxed basic viral or corrosive mods on your weapons and your warframes just need equilibrium and basic stat mods. Shield mods and recharge mods help too but aren't necessary. The big spike is when you can get galvanized CO mods and defense mods from arbis then again when you get to 1999 and can get acuity mods. Everything else is just quality of life or for specific builds and you can get most mods just by doing the content you have to anyway.

I definitely agree with what you said. Honestly they can just go farm prime parts and trade for all of the good mods. I was just thinking of mods as the building blocks where everything comes from.

I have received some sort of autistic clan drama document pertaining to Gladiator Legion, a collection of clans you've probably seen around the game. In short their leader is an e-girl who solicits cum tributes from members and also preyed on a minor.

The document is attached in all autistic glory, and I have also converted a markdown file for those who are afraid of getting AIDS from an office document.

If anyone else has the full background of this bullshit, please add on.

 

[Counterfeit Obol]

On more positive news, some lads are hard at work archiving earlier versions of Warframe for our nostalgiaboners. They're looking for any pre-7.0 builds to complete their collection, so if you have an old hard drive or two it wouldn't hurt to check.

Did my first ever Archimedea runs of each type last night, even getting the Elites done in that same session with all modifiers/handicaps enabled. Granted, I was fortunate enough to have a full squad of friends who knew what they were doing (including a Revenant to just slap Mesmer Skin onto us all the time), and I got blessed by the RNG on the frame loadout modifiers—getting Hildryn on ETA and Wisp on EDA was a certified "lol lmao", and my Wisp Prime wasn't even close to fully built.

One thing I've seriously neglected to touch, however, has been basically all of Duviri. I've been missing out pretty hard on some good shit like Incarnon Genesis upgrades, but I wasn't really sure if the whole "roguelite" style completely gelled with me at the time when I first attempted it. Maybe it'll be less awkward to play now after having done a handful of Descendia runs, though.

If you have 120 plat to spare, you can by an adapter + resources from Cavalero back at the Zariman, based on the current rotation. My best recommendation is the Okina Incarnon: homing cold daggers are fun as hell.

I would rather try The Circuit (and on Steel Path) at least once so I know what I'm getting myself into first, but I also generally really don't like to spend plat on something already acquirable just through gameplay if I can help it. I've heard great things about the Okina Incarnon though, so I'll keep an eye out for that rotation.

The Okina's rotation is this week.
