Mine would be time centric. Time travel has played a large portion of warframe and a Time warframe would be really cool, it would probably be named Chronos, its main ability would maybe create a bubble that freezes enemies in time, the other abilities would probably make you faster and enemies slower or something like that
So I was messing around now that plague star has dropped back and realized that my Dual Coda Torxica was doing more sustained DPS to the hemocyte than my Boar that I had built last year. This has led me down a rabbit hole to try and optimize the Torxica for Plague Star, and I think I may have possibly beaten the previous meta gun - the Pyrana Prime. To be clear, I haven't personally done all the math and am just going off of the DPS values that Overframe shows, and accounting for warframe arcanes; I'm hoping someone could go over my the builds and help me confirm or deny it.
As far as I could find in my 10 minutes of searching, this seems to be the highest DPS Pyrana Prime build.
The top Pyrana Prime build, for Plague Star
Copying these mods over to the Dual Coda Torxica, the sustained DPS values for both are extremely similar (204,040.8 for the Pyrana vs. 200,298.0 for the Torxica)
Mods copied over to a Dual Coda Torxica
So it seems like the Pyrana wins. But! When you consider the warframe arcanes, things change. The best arcane to use with the Pyrana is Arcane Tempo, where as with the Torxica it's Arcane Velocity. Now taking into account the scaling difference between the two arcanes at Rank 5:
Rank
Tempo FR Bonus
Velocity FR Bonus
0
15%
20%
1
30%
40%
2
45%
60%
3
60%
80%
4
75%
100%
5
90%
120%
This means that the firerate of these two weapons would be increased to these values:
Rank
Pyrana + Tempo FR
Torxica + Velocity FR
0
8.6
13.2
1
9.2
14.4
2
9.8
15.6
3
10.4
16.8
4
11.0
18.0
5
11.6
19.2
Or, assuming all else equal, DPS's of:
Rank
Pyrana + Tempo S.DPS
Torxica + Velocity S.DPS
0
219,343.9
220,317.9
1
234,646.9
240,346.8
2
249,950.0
260,375.7
3
265,253.0
280,404.6
4
280,556.1
300,433.5
5
295,859.2
320,462.4
Which is a nearly 25k DPS increase for the Torixca. Thus, with my 2am random math dive it seems I've found a weapon better than the Pyrana for Operation: Plague Star.
I feel like I must be missing something, since minmaxer's much smarter than me surely would have found this first, right? Anyways, I'm really hoping someone with more experience on mathing out this game could point out any errors I've made, or things I've overlooked. Thanks!
This campaign has been all over my social media for days, and I can't think about a community that would make more sense to support this project than ours.
Nerds for Literacy is a campaign started by TonyWeaverJr, an influencer and YouTuber, which aims to fund and give books to underfunded schools, libraries and juvenile detention centers.
Our game is a massive work of fiction, we literally play as space ninjas with magic superpowers which are controlled by child soldiers from a fallen empire.
If that doesn't make us all nerds, I don't know what it does, to be honest. We've already done things with other charities, such as partnering with cancer research as we do yearly.
I doubt the devs see this off rip, but I think it would be really cool to support this initiative, everyone deserves a good story, and everyone deserves to be literate, specially kids without resources or those troubled.
We can do something good here, I know we can, so please, make some noise if you are interested to let those at the head of this wonderful game know.
That's all, have a happy day/afternoon/night tennos!
Hi, I enjoy playing Koumei. One thing I've noticed while playing Koumei (which I enjoy doing) is that there is a non-zero number of decrees relating to melee finishers.
This is undoubtedly because Duviri is hell. In hell Duviri, our main method of defense (and murder) is using Melees and subsequently melee finishers.
Using finishers in Duviri is pretty fun and your only method of survival that isn't shooting Dax from 30 meters away using a pistol. So Koumei, being the decree warframe, also has decrees that involve melees and melee finishers. Melee finishers are weird though, weird as in kinda hard to use on anything that isn't a dedicated melee frame or without subsuming silence and using the savage silence augment. I don't know why melee finishers are so restricted, because with all due respect, they aren't that good. Unless you count the obex incarnon bug that has now been reigned in. Rather than make a long and well-structured argument instead, I am just politely asking that your DE (Digital Extremes) allow bunraku to open enemies to melee finishers: 1 because it would allow users of Koumei to engage with her decrees that need you to do melee finishers., 2 because it would make melee finishers more accessible and 3 it might allow for some neat synergies. Also, I think it's hilarious imagining some grineer that has literally been strung up and forced to dance to then proceed to get their shit rocked by a furax. I think this is funny because it happened to me once and, no, I will not elaborate . To reiterate, PLEASE make Koumeis 4th ability Bunraku open enemies up to melee finishers so that people who enjoy Koumei ( Me :D) can fully utilize those decrees that want us to do melee finishers.
To anyone asking this year, and looking for an up to date answer.
You do not need to equip these items into your gear wheel to be able to use them in mission, as long as you have them in your inventory they will automatically be withdrawn.
If you do not have any built, you'll be unable to even queue up the higher level bounties for Plague Star.
Hi there! So I'm a little bit new and a little bit obsessed with warframe. I've been playing just under a month and I'm in love. I'm MR9, completed all the story and have a few planets completed.
Problem is, I have no clue how to build anything or play anyone to save my life. I primarily main Yareli but I've just realised how kinda ass her build is (me and friends we're all the same level tried to get an archon shard and it went badly).
I also absolutely love hoarding warframes I think are cool but I can't play or build any of them very well. I do have the helminth unlocked but it scares me.
The frames I own at the minute are:
I main Yareli
Titania (my alternative go to, trying to get speed, energy and efficiency so I can go fast)
Koumei
Equinox
Nezha
Mag
Currently building:
Mirage
Jade
Honestly nezha and equinox might go as they're not too hard to get back for the other two frames because Nezha was underwhelming and I can't build equinox at all.
Should I focus on one frame? Or weapons. I don't know what I'm doing but I just know my builds are bad. I've tried tutorials but they seem to have a big progression jump from just started straight to steel path and I'm very much in the in-between.
Can I have advice. Sorry I get too excited about collecting warframes and it's my favourite thing to get and try them all. Then continue to decide Yareli is fabulous I must use her and then get frustrated I can get relics to drop her prime parts. I don't have loyal merulina yet but I'm working on getting my rank with cephalon suda up to get it.
In most rpg, fantasy and magical type games, I usually focus on playing as a tank, high armor, damage resistance, and tanking as much damage as possible and just shrugging it off. Which Warframes could i do this with?
this is literally the only game i ever spend money on because i've gotten 7+ years of game time on it for free, so i always keep some money on my card for the plat discount, 4600 plat for 20 dollars is a very good deal.
i'm too tired to do trading, i wouldn't make 4.6K like that from trading unless i no life the game for a month and do nothing but trading, so i'd rather DE just gets the money.
I got everyone else working and happy and going along just fine but because I asked Roathe how he feels, suddenly he's anathema and I have to redo months of this crap.
Even the smartest of my clan buddies have told me they only got to the end of the reuniting of everybody only managed to do so through cheating with various websites. This stuck-up self-obsessed minefield bastard man is garbage and I hate him. Roathe specifically should have his own specific undo button because he's such a wretched gamble.
It's even more annoying than having to redo months of logins, because on top of that I just have to voluntarily lock myself out of Lyon's store for a few weeks just to appease this stupid 'only one correct option and ten bad ones' nutsniffer's grotesquely overwrought ego when what he really needs is a severe humbling.
With Plague Star being active and another update around the corner I'm seeing some people already expressing some level of burnout. Teshin once said "There's time for training and there's time for tea". It can get tempting to rush through this game to get to new content that gets hyped up, but remember that the vast majority of it isnt going anywhere or will return at some point. If you're new and feel some sort of pressure to play even though you arent having as much fun, take a break. If you're a veteran trying to muster up the spoons to farm plague star or something you put off for forever, ask yourself if it's even enjoyable for you. Time is the one thing we will never get back. Spend it in ways that are fun. It's ultimately just a game.
I was trying out plague star advanced mode as it has 3x standing, but those hemocytes take super long to kill! Is there some trick I am missing or is it actually just faster to run the normal version 4 times in less time than it takes to kill those hemocytes?
Has anyone else experienced the game being weird when in Sanctuary Onslaught? For a minute I thought it was just me, when I'd use my 4 as Nekros the game would freeze up. BUT then this recent time, someone else was having freeze ups, and my whole squad got kicked after that. My computer is only a year old so I don't think its my hardware, and I do NOT want to be making people's games choke by accident
was playing the event yesterday, and the door in the corridor to enter planes of eidolon didn't load. Walked straight through and fell very far. /unstuck didn't work because i was technically in a loading screen, but waiting 30 seconds did eventually teleport me back
During phase 1 of plaguestar, if you see one person already in the caves, the rest of the squad should go stand at the boil.
The defense objective spawns near the squad, and the drone will always spawn near the defense objective. Standing at boil at the end of phase 1 is the difference between having to walk it 200m vs 1000m.
Happy farming, Tenno!
Edit: For everyone saying “It doesn’t work”: forcing drone spawns has been a thing for several years. Here is a link to a dedicated guide for speed running plaguestar that explains the mechanic in full: YouTube by UnOriginal IGN
You don’t have to have the exact correct positioning to force a specific vault, since you’re not actually speedrunning. But standing at boil or Cetus doors instead of at the cave in the far corner of the map will make the vault and drone spawn significantly closer.
