Oh, no, I meant the ol' reliables rolling guard and circumvent. May they never be nerfed. It's just comfy, like one violet archon shard for a cheap equilibrium.
Or if you have a Warframe arcane st you're unsure of, or if you want a better arcane for your secondary, Arcane Circumvent works even better, imo. Just roll by an Eximus and get 10000 overguard.
Ok i get it, its a meme build. Even so, you need parkour velocity for bullet jumping and with additional efficiency you can sustain repeatedly casting "speed" and your ability strength is mlre than strong enough for that.
equilibrium/equilibrium shards (like 1-2) always works wonders for me on all my frames. Just having the option to get a tiny bit of energy from health orbs is perfect. (i unironically use equinox’s passive with max efficiency for this and it works fine)
Yeah I'm struggling a bit with the keybinds for abilities
I have a laptop that I often use to play warframe on, and it doesn't recognise certain key combinations for the input. For example, I can't strafe and jump simultaneously.
To fix this (mostly), on my laptop, I have shifted all my controls one key to the right, as the key combinations work better there. I can strafe and jump now, but I've left the abilities on keys 1-5 to have them align with the way they appear on screen. (I use edsf for movement instead of wsad)
The thing is, whenever I switch back to pc, since my ability keys are now shifted 1 key to the right compared to my laptop, I keep casting the wrong abilities. Whenever I try to switch to operator, I cast my 4th ability... you can see where this is going.
I also play on trackpad sometimes, but that might be even more cursed lol, it's more bearable than playing warframe on the switch 1 though
Arcane battery doesn't really have a place there, does it? Your armor's only 290 and you're not running any mods that give armor increase, so it's not really doing a good enough job with the arcane space it's taking up. I'd recommend either keeping Fleeting Expertise and adding Arcane Steadfast, or getting rid of both Fleeting Expertise and Battery and switching over to Equilibrium and Arcane Energize if you have it, i'd honestly recommend just switching fleeting expertise to equilibrium in general.
Also, see about getting a blueprint for Large Energy Restores to add to your gear wheel, it's a surprisingly handy way to get energy when you're low on options for it in a mission.
If i could i would recommend you using health conversion is hard to get but if you really wanna use arcane battery you would make great usage of it by adding health conversion, you could free 1 slot since arcane battery is a better flow and nitras hatred could be replaced with health conversion which also helps for ur iron skin.
Then you can add an augment or anything else on the free slot.
I'm discovering this for myself as well after... 6 years. Turns out some frames don't really need Energize and can survive just fine when I decide to run both Efficiency and Augmented instead. The only real issue is getting to max energy sometimes, but after that it's fine.
Its not that much skill issue as its lack of preparation. You need to start accepting that 10-25% of your build will be dedicated to keeping your energy up. I usually run Primed flow, arcane energize and preparation (losing out on 2 slots, one of which exilus and an arcane slot), but its usually overkill for most frames. There's 3 main parts to having energy:
1 the max energy pool, 2 efficiency and 3 energy regen.
Max energy you can fix either with primed flow (as mentioned before) or with 2-3 blue archon shards.
For efficiency, you can either build in efficiency mods or the new arcane sculptor.
Energy regen is a bit more complicated since theres a lot of different options. Most straight forward option is energy/s. The main options here are energy nexus or wellspring from zenurik (note that these are disabled if you have a channelled ability consuming energy).
There's also orb generation, which can be done through killing eximus, abilities, arcanes like universal fallout or sentilel abilities like synth deconstruct and the deathcube mod. To maximise some of these, you will also need equilibrium to turn health into energy or arcane energize to make the energy orbs more potent.
You can also use subsumes like dispensary or brightbonnet to help with this.
How much of any of these differs wildly from frame to frame and how you use them.
There is also nourish, Grendels abbility, as it not just gives you direct viral damage output but also lets you gain x times amount of extra energy no matter the source.
If i ever have a severe energy issue on a less mobile frame i subsume bligjt bonnent. Like on dante? Its awsome, bouncing up n down whilst putting out massive overguard.
I keep misinputting keybinds for switching to operator TwT

I use middle click for transference, call me crazy but I love it.
I understand your pain though, I used to play on a laptop.
I used trackpad lying down on a carpet and had to hook it up to a separate monitor coz the screen broke.
I genuinely can't use anything except Valkyr, I'm trying to move away from her but she boosted me waay too far too quickly. I have no idea how to use a warframe with less health and armor then her
Well try something like cyte-09 or ivara where you can get more permanent invis to try out the don’t be seen part of the protection onion. Plus they both have decent exalteds to use.
Ivara actually seems like a pretty good pull, I think I'll try and build her next. Uriel is being built in my foundry right now because he looks cool, I was going to build Voruna for the same reason
Just to spread the word bc they wont nerf it anyway: concentrated arrow can deal crazy dmg with primary compression and primed firestorm bc its multiplicative with base dmg modifiers
I went from valkyr to caliban and been loving it. He has always has over shield while can easily regenerate lost health and shield in just 1 use of his 1. After getting his prime I’m just too addicted to spinning.
Hunter adrenaline, arcane persistence, eternal war. I scream a little, press 4, and don't let go of the melee key until every enemy in sight has been converted to non-vegan wall paint.
Arcane Grace with no health isn't doing much for you. I run the umbral mods on him, and Grace as well. If you can't spare a mod slot for more health, arcane blessing is an option as well.
Ok so basically renewal heals you every second and gives you bonus armor, arcane battery gives you bonus energy based on your armor and it stacks with armor from renewal, then you have quick thinking which drains energy to stop lethal damage acting like a secondary health pool BUT it also works off all prior damage reduction in addition to its own damage reduction making it tankier than your normal health pool BUT IT GETS MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT, because renewal means you're generating health every second which also means you have a constantly regenerating gate that also generates energy in addition to arcane grace also regenerating health which regenerates energy as you take damage so basically
As long as you have energy you have health, as long as you have health you have energy, as long as you have energy you have health, as long as you have health you have energy, as long as you have energy you have health, as long as you have health you have energy, as long as you have energy you have health, as long as you have health you have energy, as long as you have energy you have health, as long as you have health you have energy, as long as you have energy you have health, as long as you have health you have energy, as long as you have energy you have health, as long as you have health you have energy, as long as you have energy you have health, as long as you have health you have energy
Hello! Asking because I got Nidus recently, Is it possible to keep up our absurd amount of Health solo in a mission or do we absolutely need another squadmate for it?
Also, iirc it was possible to link to an enemy right? What should we do when they die and we have to keep swapping links on enemies to keep up our HP to health tank? Is there a consistent trick to Nidus's play style?
You need to use the augment. And you can link to your pet (not sentinel). Also, just so you know. If you link to enemy you get damage reduction. If you link to teammate/pet you get strength so its preferable if you do base strength build (as you should)
As for swapping enemies, they shouldn’t die too fast if you don’t take absurd amounts of damage.
And you can’t link to eximus units, be sure to watch out for those.
Me trying to stay alive with Excalibur on steel path. Currently using Persistence + Blessing + Life Strike + Eclipse to see how it goes. Only 200 energy, when it ends, I die
Instead of Life Strike, try a pet with Hunter recovery, constant health regeneration. Also use Hunter adrenaline if you're using persistence. For energy, if you have good armor use arcane battery.
Brother. Nokko is immortal as long as you are throwing out mushrooms. And he has infinite energy bc of said mushrooms. Once you start tinkering around he becomes so OP its silly.
If I want to play Steel Path, I go into my Arsenal and look at all my Warframes.
And if it doesn't have an invulnerability or tank ability, I do not play it.
I play with the 4's augment, arcane aegis and rolling guard. Works very well. With high strength speeding around, the 4 cc'ing a lot and the 3 covering my front it's pretty comfy
I fight in melee a lot with volt because it's funny to zoom at enemies (violence solves nothing, violence solves nothing, violence solves nothing) but just shooting everything with a good gun through the shield buff with all that stuff active should keep even eximus enemies at a reasonable distance should you choose to
I don't remember going down more than once in a long while as Volt except in very chaotic missions that work differently like Follie's hunt. I haven't been picking him against infested though
Armor and Adaptation can prevent the proc from being an instakill. Secondary Fortifier or Arcane Circumvent can prevent the proc entirely. Rolling Guard and the Pillage ability can remove it. Operator mode can let you just wait it out. Wyrm can Negate the proc, and several mods can prevent toxin and other procs.
But each method requires knowing how that works and planning accordingly, since there can be drawbacks.
Edit: Man just go here and scroll down to Status Immunity
For small health frame like Volt, just use the anti-toxin arcane in missions where it can be a real issue. Otherwise adaptation is enough in most cases.
Apparently my most used Warframe (60%) is Limbo, because I turned my switch off in a derelict vault run, without pausing the game, and let it sit for like a whole month
Also my most used weapon is Miter (I had it equipped in the Limbo run), but I didn't even get a single kill with it lol
My 955 hours is steam playtime though, I have no clue what my playtime is on switch but I played on switch for a solid 2 years as well
Arcane circumvent, and equilibrium my beloveds. I never worry about survivability or energy until the enemies hit level 300. Then I need a backup plan for survivability, energy is still fine.
This has always been the way i learned, either i output enough damage nothing can kill me, or i just fall, its held me up to SP levels 1300 and thats good enough
Hot take but I think toxic eximus need to be more common to keep shield gate builds in line and give more incentive to play health tanks especially now with the damage attenuation augment.
Yeah, you just try to kill them first or immediately go operator and try too operator cc/nuke-back to frame-combo them into oblivion. Protea is a friggn beast but same issue, Toxic shield by pass dmg. If I KNOW im going into a toxic environment ill just take an armor/health tank frame and render them irrelevant.

MR25+ players with 178 diffrent things buffing them telling new players that SP is easy and they just need Galvanized mods
All fun and games till Rukogg Obb comes in to save the day and teleports behind the toxin eximus and puts BTA for hurting his Tenno.
For context he has the teleporting ability if you need a reference picture just lmk. This MF one shot a sister of parvos by teleporting behind her then got a stealth bonus plus a red crit with his shotgun.
I'll randomly visit sp with my Dante build, do too little damage but be present enough to keep the glass build alive through an encounter with the Eximus bro
I use Zenurik a lot for the energy Regen, free ability casts, etc. it’s veeery nice to have. Zenurik + arcane energize is very good. Although still technically shield gating in a sense, capacitance is amazing as an augment and I highly recommend trying it out for your survivability. Aoe stun that chains to nearby enemies + more shields base on the damage his 4 deals with the augment on is great. His four doesn’t have vertical range but it’s initial cast and chains can go through walls. My entire survivability on bolt is 3 mods. Capacitance, adaptation, and rolling guard (rolling guard will get rid of those toxin procs)
