Also decent odds half the useful abilities will get a nerfed version for Subsume except the one that leads to really dumb meme builds that DE will ignore for the next 5 years.

I mean, I still love the game, and the people at DE but.

DE said they were buffing the abilities. But its going to be boring abilities like the earlier frames 1s and the later frames 2s or 3s. I'm thinking the support frames will probably rule like Harrow or Trinity.

Just a reminder that Harrow Systems are available for people watching the Twitch stream today at 10 AM Eastern (roughly an hour and change from now)! Be there or enjoy farming Defection!

You're going to want these systems. Defection is a boring game mode subject to some pretty horrendous RNG and can become a giant pain in the rear end due to relying on downright silly ally pathfinding, and the only reason to really do it is these systems.

Is there any reason to keep my second Hydroid Prime, since the tennocon stream ended up giving out two?
I believe they said prime frames can't be fed to the Helminth, right?

I'm personally selling the second one to free a slot to use for subsuming frames.

They said it takes 24h to subsume a frame, so you can't claim them all at once. So claim one, subsume, once it's finished, claim/subsume the next, etc.

No but I can tell you what is going to happen, there will be about one best in slot Buff ability, CC ability and Movement ability, nobody will use anything else to replace their frames worst ability and there will be no reason to ever subsume more abilities beyond those, except for completionism and the vain hope that farming that second Grendel to subsume will fill the emptiness inside you once you get 100%

The reason to subsume different abilities will be based on stats

One best in slot cc ability for frames that are pumping range, one for frames that are pumping duration, strength, etc....

No, but apparently the WarframeInternational stream (which streams at different times, including in ~4 hours from now) also provides drops. No idea what the upcoming drop is, though.

I haven't had issues with the mid-week stream rewards. Now all I have left is some Nidus and Gauss parts and the Revenant and Garuda BPs, I think. Might build another Nova, since I use my old Nova for speedva to make selecting it easier. Maybe I'll just build another Nova Prime.

I play nova enough that I dedicated two loadout slots for speedva/slowva.
But those are annoyingly limited. You really should get one per warframe slot imo

A lot of resources will be gobbled up via Helminth so it's possible we should be running resource boosters to better prepare for rushing Helminth abilities which are separate from warframe abilities.

i doubt it will be anywhere near that expensive. if they made it cost enough resources to actually put a dent in veteran players' stocks, it would make it inaccessible to everyone else

My prediction is that Helminth swapping will be de facto gated by some new resource or new affinity grind. Nothing you do now will really matter.

Index is largely obsolete, and there are two much stronger alternatives depending on whether you prioritize accessibility or pure credits/minute.

Railjack missions reward huge amounts of credits compared to normal missions, although probably still a little less than Index, while also rewarding a shitload of one-time mastery via Intrinsics. It's also not as mind-numbing as Index, although that might just be the novelty factor.

On the other hand, if you've done the standing grind in Fortuna, you can run Profit-Taker, a boss fight that can be completed ludicrously quickly if you have a coordinated team, and still pretty fast even with just one solid carry. It rewards half the credits of Index in significantly less than half the time. Also it's a lot of fun once you're properly set up for it (if kind of miserable before then).

There's kind of two jobs in Profit Taker. One's dealing with the chaff, because they're annoying as hell. The other is bringing a few elements and just using void damage to cycle the shield into the ones people brought. Archgun's mainly for knocking out the legs. I use a Blast Rubico and a Radiation Sicarus, but that's just what I did since people don't run those often.

I also think Profit Taker's awful and boring, personally.

You want as much coverage of different elemental types as possible on your guns. If you have multiple coordinated players you can spread them out, if not then cover as many as you can on your own. Archguns for solo, pub, or carry + goons runs should be modded for radiation.

(Super-tryhard coordinated builds can just use archguns for the whole fight because it ends so quickly you don't run out of ammo, but the above is far more reliable and less reliant on everyone doing their job perfectly.)

The Zenith is also worth bringing because it can shoot through the bubbles around the pylons the spider shoots out between damage phases -- they normally block all damage but the Zenith's infinite punch-through bypasses it, which saves a ton of time, especially solo.

I stole all my builds for solo / carrying from this dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJLBXz2Z46Y, although there are a couple of alternate weapons you could use in place of the ones he suggests. Note that most of them are Chroma-specific (e.g. no Serration or other basic damage mods since his ability stacks with them additively, not multiplicatively).

I prefer to really focus in one one element per gun and cycle out of elements I'm not carrying as quickly as possible. Doing a smattering of damage of different types has never seemed that effective to me, but I run Rhino, so I don't have the crazy scaling a Chroma player would have.

In addition to Chroma's sheer damage output, if you don't at least have a Chroma on your team, you won't be able to use his 4 to double the credits drop at the end.
