How do people use Wukong on stealth missions anyway? What is the Celestial Twin doing that is allowing people to sneak around in plain sight?

You can just not turn Celestial Twin on. Then you just turn into a cloud and do whatever.

I think (although have no data to back this up) aggro on them is wonky and they will often acquire you as a target when they shouldn't. Causes problems on Spy missions etc.

Also, it's just another thing to deal with and can ruin an otherwise nice feeling rhythm.

You can do them out of order, though.

There shouldn't be any reason they can't be opt-back-in once all five wedges have been filled. Maybe they could stop spawning in standard maps unless you're wearing a Glassmaker sigil? Or the opposite of that and the sigils are the opt-out, if DE really want the sigils to be a mark that you "survived the descent into the madness of the Glassmaker" or whatever the flavor text says.

I see them on spy, I see them on conservation, I see them on Steel Path.

Especially conservation. Holy gently caress have I had enough of Nora's voice. Give us by-NPC voice volume.

As has been said already, his 2 makes him invisible to cameras and immaterial to lasers/security fields. Also sensor drones won't react to wuclone, even if it attacks them, bypassing the usual need to one shot them if for some reason you absolutely need to kill one and don't have anything that can do it.

Celestial twin doesn't set off alarms or lasers. The only way it will set off an alarm is if it fails to kill a warden.

Most Wukong spies are taking advantage of free movement to fly directly to consoles while skipping a bunch of garbage. There's like one earth spy console that forces you to interact half assedly with the sneaking portion

There's only one or two goons online at a Time, typically. That said, all the research available is done so if you're ok with deathly silent fallen clans, then we can bring you aboard

Take Wukong, take only TWIN GRAKATAS and a carrier with the ammo case.
Make any specter with a primary GRAKATA and a secondary TWIN GRAKATA.
Build a clem specter.

Start mission, press 1. Launch both specters.
You are now using the maximum amount of Grakata, and are therefore clem.

So I'm finally starting to put some time into this game after playing and quitting multiple times over the years before I could even start to understand it. Apparently playing without a clan is a bad idea. Is the OP still relevant, or how should I go about joining a clan? I'm barely rank 4 but I'm enjoying this ninja mess that destiny obviously cribbed a lot of poo poo from. I'm on PC as Sebren.

The sign up in the OP is still relevant and so is at least much of the information, there's just a lot of other new and other stuff that isn't covered. Hop in the clan and the discord if you like and start asking all the questions.

Generic new player advice in the op is also still helpful, spend that starting plat on slots, chase quests and gear, and the sooner you accept that we're going to rain mods on you to help avoid leaving basic necessities to rng the better :)
We've got more of them than we know what to do with and we're probably still not immediately giving you any ultra rare end game stuff.

I've gotten to the point in helminth where the remaining frames are the pains in the rear end. Lots of simaris grinding for blueprints, sort of avoiding harrow and octavia neuro grinds. At least the simaris stuff is giving me a reason to gently caress around and clear steel path nodes stealthily, though all I have available to me anymore are things like defense, interception, mob def and the like so that's groan inducing. Oh well. GOALS

One of these days I'll resurrect a deimos pet, some day.

Vauban is very useful for Defense/Interception Steel Path. Use Overextended or something for a long range and just ragdoll anything in line of sight (almost) with vortex.

You got a build for that? I'll start clearing out Steel Path one of these days and I like to be prepared. I already put 3 forma into my Convectrix because apparently it's a slash monster that trivializes Steel Path enemies.

Lol I hadn't heard that about convectrix. I don't even have one in my inventory atm cause it was so lackluster. I'm managing to get by with headshots from my vectis atm but if it starts feeling underpowered I may have to look at your option

Just, use Overextended to get high range, who cares about your strength for most of his kit. Adjust duration/efficency/flow/surviving to taste. If things somehow shoot you, either position better or get more range. Maybe slap a Sentinel on for shield refreshes over a cat or dog.

He mentions ammo consumption being a problem and that you should load up on status chance.


Do both, together, with Efficient Beams -> No consuming ammo until you do damage + 150% status chance at max rank

Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





I have nearly 150 primary, secondary and melee weapons that have a riven, maxed primed and umbral mods, and as many forma as necessary to make it all fit without compromises. Not because I need that kind of arsenal - I could probably run clear through the Steel Path with only a couple in each category and be aces - but because a big part of the fun of Warframe for me is the huge variety of viable options available, and synergizing all my equipment to find the most giggles per minute :keke:
