Don't shoot him?

from what it looks like baruuk lives and dies by having energy. having adaptation would also be pretty good, i feel, because his base health is so low and can probably use a way to shave off damage for when he does get hit.

Yeah, I bought Baruuk, too. He's definitely better suited for higher-enemy content. Going to take a bit for me to figure out the defensive balance, though. I think he likes armor a lot, though, Adaptation will probably be best once I get one.

Yeah he needs Steel Fiber and you could maybe skip Vitality. It's gonna take me some time to unlearn my typical slotting habits. I wonder how wide the #1 skill gets. Certainly not 360 but I hope it goes beyond 180.

Wiki says you can get to 360 with 200% range.

Is there a way to increase attack speed on Desert Wind? Doesn't seem like Berserker or Fury do anything.

This game is perfect for empty-headed dunces that don't like to think much!! Of course, I'm a genius... I wonder why I'm so good at it?!
I started messing around with Revenant, wasn't expecting much, but he seems pretty cool actually. I really like the weird frames like harrow that have abilities that all feed into each other. I stuck him to the side for now so I can put more time into him when I'm not churning through all the warframes I've got built.

I just got revenant as well, I thought the abilities were cool until I hit 4 and was like, welp who needs all this other poo poo

I guess on that note, is there a good "pet" build for any of the frames? Nekros is ok I guess but it seems like it's just useful for the damage reduction mod, Nyx I still need to mess around with after the buffs, I just got Khora so I need to try some dual cat action. I wish you could command Nekros' minions like Pikmin or something, they kind of scatter all over the place.

Oberon's my favorite frame with good ability synergy. Undocumented boosts to the other three on Hallowed Ground. They really should make tutorials for the frames.

How the gently caress are you supposed to play Pursuit missions? I get the fundamental idea, but it seems like the soft targets on the ship are so small it's impossible to hit them all before the mission times out. Are you supposed to run something with explosive damage or high-range melee or what?

You get a fluctus and completely forget the concept of “aiming”. It’s a bad mission.

His minions are pretty good on defense based missions since they not only remove a threat but also distract other incoming threats and convert them to your side.

Is there some place that tries to document what the community's figured out about these? There's so much that's a mystery about frame abilities.

For example, I'm new and found out just this week that Energy Vampire is fixed total energy per target and not constant energy per unit time, so it's ok and even good to kill targets after you inflict EV. Would've been good to know when leveling Trinity Prime.

Oberon was fun. Vauban so far has not been great. Are there any hidden mechanics to his abilities?

Bring a good accuracy gun(imperator, velocity sniper, Soma but bigger and home schooled,)
Shoot out the engine from behind till it stops, blow out one or two orange dots.
Blow out engines when it moves again. Kill all orange dots and defend it for a minute and you're done.
If you're missing important mods ask for Vayan in game and I'll hook you up with the basic elements and crit, multi shot.

RE: dumb realizations

I played this game briefly way back when it first came out. Thought I'd give it another shot a few weeks ago. Couldn't remember what the gently caress was even going on and I didn't put much time in before so I'll just make a new account and start fresh and play the tutorials and poo poo.

Looked at my old account yesterday just to see if there was anything valuable and realized I had Excalibur Prime but now I've put three weeks into this new account :negative:

See if you can gift it to your new account somehow maybe? Whatever, you should definitely sell it somehow, because someone will surely give you thousands upon thousands of plat for it.

Many years ago when I was just starting out, TheEvilKit very kindly gifted me the newest warframe Mesa during tennobaum. Mesa has served me well through the past 4 years, and now I'd like to pay it forward to another goon.

So I'm running a Most Chirstmassy/Yule Warframe contest! Show me your most festive/terrifying warframe for the season. Designs representing local holiday traditions are welcome and encouraged, especially if you have a neat explanation! All you have to do to enter is to quote this post with your IGN and a screenshot of your fashionframe.

First prize gets a brand new Mesa prime set!
Second place gets 150p worth of stuff of their choice from the market
Third gets 100p worth of stuff if their choice from the market

Contest ends on the 23rd at 11PM GMT. Here is my example entry from the December holiday traditions of my homeland, China

In warframe survivability means two things: First is high sustain, and second, high killing power (kill everything before it can even shoot at you). It's easier to get sustain at first, and killing power comes with better mods, frames and weapons, which will come in time.

For now the first thing you should do is build yourself a rhino and/or nezha. Both have ridiculous, easy to use damage negation.
