What are your thoughts on the Ascension game mode/Belly of the Beast?
  • CC could be a little more usable on eximus in general, I wish they got the Sentient/boss nerf to CC abilities where the abilities just have diminished effectiveness rather than it either works or it doesn't.

    I've been running around with a resonance Banshee a lot for this event, it's nice seeing lots of highlighted enemies spreading the debuff around. I don't think Silence makes that much of a difference when you can out walk the beams of death, their damage still seems bugged to me though, Covenant shows almost 2M damage prevented if I stand still for the duration of one of the beams. I don't think it can damage objectives though.

  • What are your thoughts on the Ascension game mode/Belly of the Beast?
  • It would be nice if they would add some of the new game modes to the sortie rotation. It's nice that they've done that they've added some of the new missions from Zaramin/Sanctum to the steel path rotation and Omnia Fissures though.

  • What are your thoughts on the Ascension game mode/Belly of the Beast?
  • The dev shorts today mentioned something about a hot fix possibly today which should have some general QOL fixes for the game mode and they did mention elevator speed/charges, so hopefully that get's better communicated to players in-game.

  • What are your thoughts on the Ascension game mode/Belly of the Beast?
  • Overall, I think the game mode is pretty fun/relaxed. It doesn't feel like there's a meta loadout being enforced, and for the most part, you have the freedom to bring whatever you want to the mission.
    There doesn't really seem to be any failure condition either (other than maybe the first objective, but I've never managed to fail there).
    The pity system is also nice to have for anyone who doesn't have the time to farm or has terrible luck and the event cosmetics also look really nice.

  • Weekly Warframe: Hildryn
  • Hildryn is one of the more fun tank frames to play, and is actually pretty good for harder content if you're having trouble staying alive.

    Balefire unfortunately falls off in higher level content, exalted weapons are probably in need of an update to make them on par with current weapons.

    Pillage is a very versatile ability, removing armor/shields from enemies and replenishing the players shields and cleansing status on the caster and their allies. As long as you can keep Hildryn's overshields active with this ability, toxin damage will not be able to bypass your shields.

    Haven along with the Blazing Pillage augment makes Hildryn usable against the infested too while providing a bit of extra CC with the Heat procs.

    Aegis Storm is also kind of useless, it reduces your mobility and only lets you use Balefire as a weapon. It can generate energy orbs but those are really only useful for your team mates and only moderately useful to Hildryn.

    Rakta Dark Dagger is a pretty good weapon to pair with Hildryn as an alternative to Blazing Pillage or if you just want to quickly max your shield without waiting for Pillage to end.

    I also like using Chroma's Elemental Ward (Electric) and replacing Hildryn's 4. It both gives Hildryn even more shields and reflects damage done to Hildryns shields back to enemies. Abilities that drain Hildryns shields like Haven will also trigger this effectively turning Hildryn into a walking shock mote. This used to be really fun with the old Unairu's damage reflect, just being able to walk into a group of enemies and killing them with all the reflected damage.

  • Weekly Warframe: Harrow
  • Harrow is probably one of my most played warframes. He has great survivability and some very strong weapon buffs which make weapons that have usability issues a lot more viable and fun to use. It is a lot easier to play Harrow if you only focus on modding for solo gameplay rather than team support. Missions I would typically use Harrow for would be Disruption and Survival, and mostly focused on duration and strength.

    Condemn works great for quickly freezing important targets like Demolysts in place for easy headshots. It still won't hold them for long but with Harrow's fire rate buff and crit chance, you should be able to kill most Demolysts very quickly. I would not bother using the condemn augment, especially with how easy it is to get energy now.

    Penance has a useful interaction with shield regeneration mods like Brief Respite and the Augur set, If you don't have active Overshields with Brief Respite equipped, the shield regen will prevent your shield gating from tripping making it a lot safer to use around enemies. The Augur set is a little better if you can fit one of the mods as it can prevent penance from triggering shield gating even when cast with active overshields. Penance also gives a large boost to your weapons fire rate and reload speed making certain weapons much more usable without wasting mod slots.

    Thurible is mostly just used to keep your own energy up and allows you to run around with negative efficiency and always have a cast of condemn ready for emergencies. I don't find Warding Thurible to be very useful.

    Covenant and the Lasting Covenant augment are what I usually try to mod for on Harrow. This is mostly for precision weapons or if you loadout is focused around headshots with arcanes like Arcane Pistoleer or single target weapons. If your team is nuking or CC focused with Gloom/Shock motes, it's best to find a group of enemies alone to get your full buff or find a couple exploding barrels to take self damage.

    For weapons, generally I like to use snipers, Penance and Lasting Covenant help to work around the lower fire rate and reload speeds, and the Sporothrix is pretty fun with this setup and its Volatile Variant augment. For pistoles, Arcane Pistoleer and anything that's full auto and has a high fire rate like the Twin Grakatas. As long as you're getting headshot kills, it's like running around with an infinite ammo fissure buff. The melee weapon typically doesn't matter, Rakta Dark Dagger to quickly refill shields or the Furax with Amalgam Furax Body Count if you want to have even more fire rate on your pistols. It's also probably one of the few warframes where spearguns like the Scourge and Afentis can be useful.

  • Weekly Warframe: Octavia
  • Probably one of the harder warframes to farm because a blueprint is on a Rotation C mission. If you see her as a reward for the Duviri Circuit it can save you a lot of bad RNG trying to get her Neuroptics from a Survival mission.

    Her abilities make most difficult missions doable even while solo, and my favourite use for her is to use Mallet to quickly spawn a Sister of Parvos. Her kit is pretty versatile giving mild CC, damage, invisibility, and even energy regeneration which can also be granted from Octavia Specters.

  • On Call: Ideal Crew for Tenno Support
  • I like to mod my On Call's weapon with some form of status CC. They're normally pretty strong on their own but it can still help with slowing down enemies. Normally it would be something like Radiation + Cold so enemies will target each other instead of trying to take an objective in Interception and Cold is the only CC status effect that works through Overguard.

  • Weekly Warframe: Dante
  • Getting Dante is generally less grindy than some of the more recent frames especially with the pity system they added. It also came with some nice updates like better markers for Disruption and in a recent patch, made Rage/Hunter Adrenaline/Vex Armor usable even with overguard active.

    From the time I've spent playing him, he feels mostly like a caster/Equinox with faster ramp-up and better survivability. I tend to play more weapon buff focus frames like Harrow/Wisp/Saryn with augments so Dante probably isn't really the frame for me. He isn't a bad choice though for anyone that likes caster style warframes/nukes though assuming you're fine with line of sight checks.

  • No issues for me on desktop this time!

  • Having trouble finding synthesis targets
  • The Synth Scanner has always been like that. What you need to do to fix the particle trails is swap to a gun and aim down sights, then pull out the Synth Scanner again and the trails should update.

  • Weekly Warframe: Wukong
  • Wukong kind of got hit kind of hard by that ammo nerf. The clone tends to burn through ammo fairly aggressively, and his abilities aren't really focused towards killing enemies.

    He's still a good choice for missions like Spy and Capture, and his abilities offer a lot more survivability compared to other frames.

    If you want utility from his clone, give him a weapon with Radiation/Cold for some minor CC, or something that's good at applying multiple statuses for CO mods.

    Cloud Walker is great for avoiding enemies and covering large gaps like the ones on the Gas City tileset.

    Defy greatly increases Wukong's armor, it's kind of disappointing that this ability is still nerfed from the Helminth, and would have been a great alternative to requiring shield gating for endgame content. Obviously armor only goes so far, but for non endurance missions the survivability from this ability would have been more than enough.

    Iron Staff is pretty disappointing, it seems it's only use would be to get one of the buffs that require you to have a channelled ability active.

  • Any tips for a returning player?
  • If you're going to touch content on the Zarmain, you might need to invest a bit in an amp if you haven't already so that you can deal with Thrax/Void Angels. Madurai/Unairu are the two focus schools I'd recommend for these missions if you're after Void Angles.

    If you struggle at all with steel path, play the daily 5 missions in public. It's an easy way to get the steel essence required to buy arcane adapters for your weapons, and a chance to get the Deadhead/Merciless/Dexterity Arcanes if an acolyte spawns.

    If you don't have Galvanized mods yet, you can pick them up from the Arbitration Store for Vitus Essence.

  • What do you need to get started in Steel Path?
  • A good point to start is just running the daily public missions to get Primary/Secondary Arcanes, and the steel essence required to purchase adapters from Teshin.
    Hildryn isn't a bad choice for steel path, Pillage is great for armor strip, she's very tanky and had some minor CC if you take her Blazing Pillage Augment. If you really want to use Hildryn for the infested, it might be worth putting Harrow's ability on her or the Rakta Dark Dagger to regenerate shields.

  • Devstream #177 Megathread
  • I wish they would just bring back self damage instead, it's a lot easier to get the vex armor buffs when you can bypass shield gating and don't have to deal with team mates nuking/CCing the entire map.

    Depending on what they consider an ally, you might run into issues where Shadows/Thralls become an issue for Chroma or objectives with a large hp pool.

  • Weekly Warframe: Equinox
  • Equinox is kind of interesting having two frames in one.

    Its passive could use a QOL update to match the recent change to equilibrium, allowing Equinox to pick up health orbs if its energy isn't full. I'd also like to be able to forma/mod the two forms independently (like Sevagoth) because of how energy hungry the night form is. Unfortunately, Equinox is a very RNG heavy farm, so it probably wouldn't be worth the extra time and resources to do this.

    It would also be nice enemies with overguard were still effected by CC/Debuffs, but with diminished effectiveness, rather than the all or nothing approach.

  • Warframe | Gauss Prime Access - Available Now On All Platforms!
  • Aya/Prime Resurgence was a pretty big upgrade over the prime vault system, and even Nightwave became less grindy this season with the elite weekly challenges that essentially complete themselves making it easier to passively get the cosmetics.

    I generally like making meme builds, and playing around with gimmick weapons, even though they're generally outclassed.

    A Guide to Amps in Warframe

    (Some Spoilers for anyone that has not gotten this far in the game) An overview of Amps and how they perform when using Madurai, Eternal Eradicate and Eternal Onslaught and some info on where to get these components and my very brief opinion on how they feel to use.

    A lot of this post will be aimed more at people who have recently unlocked Operators/never really bothered with Amps. You may still find the brief captura previews helpful if you wanted to see an Prism/Scaffold's fire-mode though.

    Video showing how various Amps perform when buffed. The first Shield Break after a captura preview shows damage with Void Strike while the second Shield break does not use this buff.

    Table of Amp Components *Numbers represent <Prism><Scaffold><Brace> parts in this order. A 1-2-3 Amp would have the Raplak Prism, Shraksun Scaffold and the Lohrin Brace.

    This should only be considered a rough guide for Amp performance for various reasons:

    • Overflow damage is hidden (if the boss has 10k shields, 10k is the highest damage number you will see)
    • After breaking the first synovia, the Eidolon only recovers 50% of its shield
    • Teralyst has ~29k shields, Gantulyst has ~41k shields, Hydrolyst has ~52k shields

    What's boosting my Amp's damage:

    • Void Strike (Madurai's 1, Only on first shield break after captura previews)
    • Contamination Wave (Madurai's 2, every shield break)
    • Volt's shield boosts Crit Damage as long as the beam/projectile passes through it
    • Eternal Eradicate (Zaramin from Thrax/Void Angel or purchased from Cavalero)
    • Eternal Onslaught (Zaramin from Thrax/Void Angel or purchased from Cavalero)

    For newer players with only a Mote Amp, roam around the Plains of Eidolon at night and hunt for Vomvalysts. Return to Cetus and fast travel to Quill Onkko to trade in the Sentient Cores for standing. You want to replace the Mote Amp with anything else as fast as possible but do not sell the Mote Amp until you have finished Guilding it and finished ranking it back up to 30. Prisms are the only Amp Component that count towards mastery, Scaffold and Braces are ignored.

    The easiest place to level an Amp would be Sanctuary/Elite Sanctuary Onslaught, you must be in operator mode for affinity to go to your Amp. Return to Onkko to Guild your Amp and level it back to 30 one more time to get all the mastery from it.

    First start with the first Amp you can craft, and continue ranking up your standing with the Quills until you reach rank 3 (Adherent) to unlock Guilding and the Lohrin Brace becomes available which is the best Brace that will be available to you (for the majority of Amps) until you get into ranking up Vox Solaris on Fortuna. In the meantime build an Amp with your favorite Prism + Scaffold + Lohren Brace (x-x-3), and if you have extra Quills standing consider picking up Magus Nourish, Virtuous Strike or Virtuous Shadow.

    Find a guide for capturing the first Eidolon that focuses on basics not doing it fast (first you get good then you get fast). The Sentient Cores dropped from the Eidolon are worth more than what come from Vomvalysts, so its worth it to try taking down this Boss for its drops (Arcane Nullifier can be farmed here, and is helpful for anyone starting out Eidolon hunting). Public lobbies usually aren't too bad for this bounty, and tend to go faster than solo. Eidolon Shards are also one of the possible ways to can rank up your focus schools, the others being killing Thrax on the Zaramin/Duviri or Focus Lenses.

    Once you get to Fortuna and rank up Vox Solaris (one of the harder Syndicates to rank up, try farming for Toroids if you have a resource drop booster from Sortie, Special Event, or get a Relay Blessing) you will have access to the Amp components 4-7 on the table linked earlier. The Certus Brace (x-x-7) is generally considered the best brace for most Amps.

    Play missions on the Zaramin to farm Eternal Onslaught/Eradicate as well as Amp Arcane Adapters which can be purchased from Cavalero to fit an extra Amp Arcane.

    Here is a link to the previous Amp video I made which is closer in line to the damage newer players can expect without the damage boosts from Madurai, Eternal Onslaught, or Eternal Eradicate. If any Prism/Scaffold seems to take an excessively long amount of time to break shields/misses often, you might want to consider using a different Prism/Brace.

    Notes about Prisms/Scaffolds: Cetus Prisms

    Raplak 1-x-x:

    • Semi-Auto with reasonable damage and very accurate

    Shwaak 2-x-x:

    • Arca plasmor like projectile with infinite body punch through and able to hit multiple limbs

    Granmu 3-x-x:

    • A three round burst of slow moving grenades. Easy to miss if you are too far away.

    Rahn 4-x-x:

    • Fully automatic projectiles with reasonable damage

    Fortuna Prisms

    Centric 5-x-x:

    • Three round burst fire and feels similar to Rahn Prism

    Lega 6-x-x:

    • Flamethrower with very slow tick rate. Not very fast for taking down Eidolon Shields

    Klamora 7-x-x:

    • A wide beam with low range. Quickly drains ammo but does a lot of damage to shields in a short amount of time.
    • Not a great Amp for Ropalolyst fight, but great for Eidolons

    Cetus Scaffolds

    Pencha x-1-x:

    • Opticore like beam with reasonable damage

    Shraksun x-2-x:

    • Arca plasmor like projectile with infinite body punch through and able to hit multiple limbs
    • Less range than Shwaak Prism, can't reach Void Angel

    Klebrik x-3-x:

    • Teathers to enemies, low damage and does not always latch onto the enemy you want it to

    Phahd x-4-x:

    • Bouncing Glaive projectile with decent damage and some homing capabilities, similar to the Cedo's alt-fire
    • Easier to use up close because of projectile's travel time
    • Works well for dealing with tanky enemies if you are able to proc Void Status on them first to trap the projectile. You will notice a faint green orb around an enemy if it has Void Status applied to it, or in the case of an Eidolon, the orb can spawn around a limb that was hit by your Amp. 6-4-3 is what I would probably use for priming, the primary fire has good status chance and ammo efficiency, while the Lohren Brace boosts both Crit Chance and Status chance.

    Fortuna Scaffolds

    Exard x-5-x:

    • A very high recoil, low accuracy fire mode that mag dumps

    Dissic x-6-x:

    • Slow grenade projectile, consumes 50 ammo per shot

    Propa x-7-x:

    • A sphere that does high damage when it collapses, easy to self-stagger.
    • Very low range, not suitable for Ropalolyst/Void Angels

    Mote Amp:

    • Very low damage and long recharge, you will probably hate using this Amp
    • Constant Beam fire mode and no alt fire

    Sirocco:

    • Semi-Auto pistol with a perfect reload gimmick
    • Better than the Mote amp but still not great for sustained damage

    A Quick Guide farming the Granum Void

    This guide mostly applies to farming Protea parts from the Granum Void but you may also find it useful for quickly cycling through Tenet Weapons to Valence Fusion, or spawning a Sister with a Radiation Progenitor.

    To farm Protea, you need to reach rotation C in each tier of the Granum Void (Neuroptics in T1, Systems in T2, Chassis in T3). The easiest way to do this is with an Octavia modded mostly for Range and Duration and some Strength.

    When you spawn into the Void, you want to find an edge of the map with few obstructions on the ground (Mallet requires Line of Sight) and throw Octavia's Mallet and Amp between you and the rest of the map. Like This

    By being on the edge of the map you've restricted the spawning area of the Void Specters, and they should all be forced to spawn within Mallet's range.

    My preferred mission for farming the Void would be Capture. From testing, the capture target can not escape on the Corpus Crewship Tileset (or the tile required for that fail-state just never spawned). Do not Capture the target until after after you've completed the Granum Void side mission as enemy spawning is disables shortly after completing the main objective and may cause issues if you're waiting for the Treasurer to spawn to drop a new Granum Crown. Once you're finished in the void it is safe to complete the mission's main objective, wait around until the Treasurer spawns to replace the Crown you spent to enter the Void.

    Farming Tier 1:

    (Neuroptics) For this part, I would farm the Capture mission on Phobos>Skyresh. A "Granum Crown" (Tier 1) is required for drop table containing the Neuroptics. The Treasurer also drops this same Crown, so you only really need the initial coin to begin farming.

    Farming Tier 2:

    (Systems) The "Exemplar Granum Crown" is required for this drop. The Rescue mission on Neptune>Triton is probably the easiest one to perpetually farm the Void. Be sure to complete the void first before saving the Rescue Target, or you may run into issues with the Treasurer not spawning, and the rescue target dying within the Void.

    Farming Tier 3:

    (Chassis OR Tenet Weapons) "Zenith Granum Crown" is required for the Chassis to drop. The best mission for this is Pluto>Hydra, and everything mentioned earlier about farming Capture missions applies here, the capture target can't escape as far as I can tell, and completing this objective before the Void can cause issues with the Treasurer/Candidate not spawning before spawns stop.

    For the Main Protea Blueprint, you either need to pick that up from completing the Deadlock Protocol (Don't think you even have access to the void without this mission completed), or from Simaris for 50,000 standing.

    Some notes about farming Tenet Weapons this way:
    • You technically only need 25 kills (solo) to spawn a Candidate, but I found reaching the 75 Kill Cap was faster than waiting out the timer. Complete the mission after downing the Candidate (without mercy killing) to add the previewed weapon to a blacklist.
    • A Radiation based Sister is probably the most annoying to fight because of all the ways it enables Friendly Fire; All Tenet Weapons will be able to proc Radiation status, instead of only the weapons that have base Radiation like the Tenet Arca Plasmor. Arcane Healing, or an ability with Status Cleanse/Immunity works fine to mitigate this, but it still makes it extremely easy to fail a mission like Defense.
    • A Sister spawned from a Radiation Progenitor also has the ability Magnetize, like Malice any shots fired will be redirected at whoever has Magnetize on them. It is possible to roll out of it, but the ability is not very visible from inside the bubble, so there is a very good chance that you will end up downing yourself before you notice you've had Magnetize cast on you.

    *I've tried to keep this guide as brief as possible while still explaining everything, if you run into issues or think I've missed something, let me know and I'll work on correcting the guide.

    Currently the easiest ways to get an Octavia if you don't currently have one is to check the Duviri Circuit as it is one of the possible Warframes on Week 9. (It can take a while to farm for her Neuroptics through Survival if you're really unlucky, and requires you to do her quest/pick up the main blueprint and Mandrachord from Simaris if you no longer have base Octavia.)

    The other ways to get Octavia would be to wait for Prime Resurgence or selling your extra prime parts on https://warframe.market and finding someone selling her set for a reasonable price.
