Inaros is a powerfully utilitarian frame, with top tier tanking, fantastic crowd control and some clutch healing. Baro will be here this weekend starting tomorrow, so grab the quest if you haven't already!

Inaros is the best, except in Sanctuary, which stripped his buff every round last time I checked. There I prefer Valkyr for the same thing. Same for Index because I don't think armor is affected by Financial Stress the way health is.

crazy vauban ideas

Roll Tesla into Mine Layer and buff the hell out of all of them. Make Tesla do low moderate damage at high level, make it chain, make it fire faster and be deployed at least as fast as it was before, make the charging mechanic up the damage, number of chains, and give a very high status chance. Make the Trip Wire wrap people up on the ground bola style for a couple seconds, giving slight energy back to players who melee them or some other utility. Give the bounce plate more charges, maybe make it give a movement buff on use or so other small QoL thing, maybe auto reload the currently equipped weapon. Double the range and damage of the Shred mine. Make it remove even more armor and for longer and give it some use against Corpus, maybe given it a slight cool down timer as balance, Vauban should be made of tools he rotates through. Cause the Concuss mine to make people take finisher damage from melee attacks. Give them all bonus effects when effecting enemies also caught by his 3 and 4.

Keep that as his 2 and give him a new 1. Something that also has synergy. Like a deployable custom corpus shield drone that has different special interactions with targets caught by his mines, bastille, and vortex. Or an offensive drone that will try to lock down an area another little deployable Vaub-ball, similarly with synergy with the rest of his kit.

To slightly tweak the new passive he just got just make all targets caught in any of his CC take 20 or 25% more damage from all sources.

His 3 and 4 don't even need to be touched, other skills can just have synergy with them. If his mines were better and fun, and if he had another skills that linked everything together, helped out teammates, or was just fun to use, Vaub could be a lot of fun to play.

If Vauban had a loving turret like TF2 Engineer he'd be perfect, but they don't want to do that for some insane reason.

You've done well, kiddo.
Is there anything I should be doing after finishing TWW? I'm kind of pootling around the star map, slowly unlocking Sedna, looking at Eris and wondering if I can be bothered, then looking at the focus tree and trying to work out how to use lens'. I tried onslaught and it was just killing waves of enemies until you run out of efficiency? But I didn't seem to get ay rewards for it really? I feel like I was doing it wrong?

I've heard of Eidolons, and the Quills, but no idea what on earth either is or how to find out. I've got the sortie unlocked at least, is it easy to run? Or should I be trying to team up with people?

Vauban used to feel very good, because you would use the teslas in random positions around a defense, and the teslas would one-shot stuff. Really good specially for mobile defenses against infested. Almost unfair and lol worthy, because it leave teammates with nothing to do. Gravity wheel would be some dps nuke you would use for lols, and the area control thing another thing you use has a oh poo poo button and to make things more manageable.
This was 3 years ago.

I have no idea what happened. I think the changes to damage, armour, the introduction of eximus. Teslas don't one-poo poo stuff, at least with normal mods.
And when really tanki mods appear, are useless. So you use your crown control abilities more. These CC abilities are really obsolete now. Nothing can shot trough gara wall, or frost bubble. Gara wall or frost bubble can stop a infinite number of mobs. Gara wall or frost bubble last forever. ... Is like vauban CC tool was supposed to be a oh-poo poo button.

Buffing pure damage for the teslas may risk making them too powerful. So giving them some utility would suffice. Make teslas charge friends shields. Make teslas apply the status effect of vauban equipped weapon. Have teslas optionally orbit vauban like a shield / doing a damage reduction thing.

I dunno. For 2018 warframe is a kind of meh frame. Maybe the rewords should give him something crazy and fun to spicy it a bit.

Edit:
Are all the guides for Ivara wrong? To test limbo, I did a spy mission where I just walked around the laser. Everyone spot me hacking the terminals. I activated the alarms. Completed A, B, C. But got a Ivara part. I was surprised because the guides says to get a Ivara part you need to hack the 3 terminals withouth activating alarms.

Also Ivara would be a great frame to get Ivara. But I think I will master limbo since seems getting spotted and having alarms start is not a problem (???).

Alarms don't matter for drops, so long as all 3 vaults are completed you can get an Ivara part.

Ash or Loki are best to do spy missions undetected because of invisibility. I think Loki is best if you don't want to be detected because of his moveset, whereas Ash is generally better at ninja murder.

What good rifles and secondaries are there at MR5? I'm getting tired of the tetra and cestra combo, as good as it was for me.

Salt Incarnate


Primaries that you got at MR 5 that are worth looking at are Ignis, a flamethrower; Kohm, the unholy fusion of a shotgun and a gatling; and Sybaris, a burst fire lever-action rifle.

Secondaries you got Atomos, a pocket flamethrower that also chains from target to target and the Kulstar a kind of cluster grenade launcher pistol.

There are a some thing that are recommendable that you unlocked on previous MRs, but these are all guns you unlocked on MR5.

As someone mentioned before, you can, but what wasn't mentioned is that you can't swap that polarity around. It's permanently on the exilus slot until you use another forma to change/remove the polarity. The same rule applies to auras.

It may be worth picking up a Primed Morphic Transformer in preparation for eventual Railjack. Possibly even two, since it's possible it will become part of the meta and the price will spike hard.
A long time to hold onto them first though.

How much of a difference is there between a vanilla weapon and the prime version?

The difference between a regular and prime version can be pretty big if you ask me. I don't have much experience with the entire game, but a bow like Cernos vs Prime is very different (The Cernos Prime shoots 3 arrows instead of 1)

The difference between normal and prime weapons is pretty huge. Usually it's most noticeable on status and crit chances, for example the Braton has a 6% status chance, while the Braton Prime has 26%. Pretty much every prime weapon will be better than its normal variant, then stuff like Wraith, Prisma and Vandal variants tend to be more like sidegrades (the Braton Vandal has lower status chance than the prime, but a higher crit chance and higher accuracy).

On a similar note to what guns to use at MR5, what guns should I use at MR 13+? I've been using the Hek since MR4 and ever since the 200% multishot mod it's kinda been just fine at deleting anything I point it at, any shotguns a straight upgrade to it besides the tigris and are there any good rifles for level 80+ enemies I should look into?

Astilla. Corinth. Kohm. Arca Plasmor. Opticor. Ignis Wraith. Lenz is also a ridiculous warcrime weapon that will easily handle high level mooks.

Get Sancti Tigris from syndicates too if you haven't already.

Baro's back, as previously mentioned.

Do not buy:
buzz kill, sweeping serration, maim: these are physical damage mods and they drop from eidolons now. Any regular dolon runner probably has a dozen of them and will give you one for free.

Do buy:
Quanta Vandal: It is a top-tier gun since the beam rework

Consider buying:
Primed Morphic Transformer: Archwing sucks, getting archwing mods sucks, this will give you a decent power strength mod for your archwing.
Sands of Inaros: If you don't already have it, Inaros is a great frame.
