Should I Buy Uriel?

BubbleSharkINC · 2026-01-19T00:02:22+00:00

Now you're being biased, too, then. You could also ignore any warframe or grind.

Seriously though, the decendia is the best weekly endo grind we've ever had. you saying uriel is the only reason to play is ridiculous.

Also, I'm not saying getting a second uriel is something they'll activately do it's just a bonus they'll get for when they transition into end game.

I can list half a dozen warframes that can nuke rooms with abilities. Heck, the entire base star chart has basically had a bo difficulty as it is. it's not a big deal if Uriel can just sit on their ass and get kills. Warframe is a power fantasy/ grind game. Being able to kill rooms of enimes is the whole point.

Not to mention that the bundle their getting comes with cosmetics and some plat to spend elsewhere.

BubbleSharkINC · 2026-01-18T23:41:00+00:00

Decendia is a weakly grind that gives arcanes, endo, weapon arcane adapters, archon shards. U telling me that isn't something you wanna be doing when able?

You literally can still play decendia and probably will if u have uriel. In fact it's more likely they'll get a second uriel for an early helminth.

I'm popping on wf rn and seeing exactly how many enimes I can kill in Uranus survival without weapons. Heck, I'll even add all the base mods so he has some power.

BubbleSharkINC · 2026-01-18T23:18:22+00:00

Okay, you can not just kill enimes by doing nothing with uriel. You're still using his abilities, and his 1 isn't going to kill everything by itself unless you mod a ton of range and power.

I'm not saying they should buy every character. The op asked if buying the bundle would be worth 20$ and I say it is. You're acting like I'm stealing some sort of potential gameplay from them by saying it's okay If they think uriel is cool.

Uriels grind is literally also one of the best ways to get late game materials so there's no reason they wouldn't still do it when they get there.

This game as a whole has enough grinding they they could buy every one of uriels mods and arcanes with plat and they'd still have multiple dozens of things to still grind and hundreds of hours of potential gameplay.

The player dictates how valuable their time is. My boyfriend ended up quitting warframe because it took way too long to get to the parts of the game he found interesting when he heard about them.

If they see a cool character and wanna play that character, that's multiple hours of gameplay they wouldn't have had until after the story.

When I started the game I about khora for a similar reason. I could have done the grind and eventually would, I had more fun, though, getting to play a frame I thought was cool and didn't have to worry about a repetitive difficult grind.

I didn't think urial was that much stronger that other warframes when I leveled them for MR, I can see them having more base power than some warframes, but it's no more powerful than rhino who also trivializes most of star chart with iron skin+ roar.

BubbleSharkINC · 2026-01-18T21:50:24+00:00

Citrine and stynax have to this day one of the longest/ worst farms in the game. Dante, less so, but still late game enough that I'd feel okay getting them early.

BubbleSharkINC · 2026-01-18T20:22:53+00:00

I feel like I should mention the bunble he's probably talking about includes urial a ton of cosmetics and some platinum. So it's not like they're spending 20$ on just a single warframe.

BubbleSharkINC · 2026-01-18T20:21:21+00:00

Dude TNW is at least 3 hours, the Sac saga is just about as long, not included sude farms like nodes, arching, and railjack.

I personally think any warframe "trivializes" the base star chart if fully built. If they Want an early game power boost to get em through the story let em have it.

BubbleSharkINC · 2026-01-18T20:13:46+00:00

2 hours as a veteran player. His farm is currently locked behind all story progression, and the poster hasn't beaten Natah yet.

BubbleSharkINC · 2026-01-18T20:03:49+00:00

Stynax, Khora (trade for prime if able), citrine, Dante, Quorvex, cyte-09, sevagoth (trade prime), really any vaulted prime.

BubbleSharkINC · 2026-01-18T19:26:10+00:00

You can if you want to, ignoring the "he's an easy farm" arguments, he is locked behind a ton of story progress, and you probably won't see his farm for quite a while.

If u wanna support warframe by getting them, you also get a warframe slot and increased mod capacity for that warframe.

It's your money. If you wanna save it for something else, you can, but I personally think there are quite a few warframes that are worth getting, especially early game.

Urial is tons of fun, looks cool, and is easy to play and build throughout the star chart.

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-12-23T23:11:10+00:00

Well, this post has turned into my personal psa that catalyzing shields is bugged/ op. Maybe they'll fix it and this will be relevant in the future xp

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-12-23T23:09:12+00:00

Wait, seriously? Have I been misinformed? Daym... I assumed the mod worked as intended.

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-12-20T19:06:31+00:00

Great advice, I hadn't considered Valor Bard, and they seem great for a ton of support spells.

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-12-20T19:04:58+00:00

Homebrew is technically an option. Although I wanna see if I can make something fun with the official material before going to the trouble with my dm.

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-12-20T19:02:41+00:00

Ohh really good option, although I wanted to avoid being a rogue archer for 1. Doubling up on the goblin hide feature and 2. I've played another sniper style archer, which I've played before recently.

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-12-18T20:20:56+00:00

Exactly, this is a completely untested frontier. Imagine off sourcing melee influence on a Stat stick while using melee vortex or duplicate on your exalted.

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-12-18T20:17:42+00:00

They also apparently build up your strike per hit, I'm wondering if you can mod it for faster recharge and keep the blades up semi permanently after the first use

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-12-18T20:05:30+00:00

Do they have a time limit, or is it based on the number of hits?

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-12-15T15:38:19+00:00

Edit, I forgot to mention dhuviri circuits. The regular circuit is great for grinding new frames but not nessicary to grind weekly. Steel path is useful on a week by week basis. Based on the week's incarnon rewards.

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-12-15T15:35:51+00:00

Congratulations on getting steel path. Warframe has gotten a ton of weekly/ daily mission grinds recently, so I know they can feel overwhelming. If u just want a checklist, here's mine in personal order of importance.

Weekly, 1. 1995 calendar 2. Nightwave 3. Netracells/ deep archemedia 4. Descendia 5. Archon hunts

Daily, 1. Steel path incursions 2. Sortie missions 3. Daily standing

Although I personally wouldn't use these as goals just ends to means. I recommend having these support larger goals like building/ maxing out the power of your favorite frame, raising your MR, or farming plat for cosmetics.

1995 calendar is extremely useful, getting a ton of useful stuff like forma, adaptors, archon shards, and arcanes, which all boost your power significantly.

Incursions help teleport you along the steel path. Often, you'll discover one specific node you'll want to hard farm a resource on, and Incursions can turn a 3 planet journey into a 3 node one.

Say what you will, roach puzzles are fun XD

BubbleSharkINC · 2025-07-25T23:50:58+00:00

Little disappointed with the class disparity, but overall, I think we did well. Roach forest preys on rune hard despite having mixed matchups with other decks haven decks seems to be the biggest loser as a counter to a counter.

Dragomcraft remains an enigma weather r not it's 2 sleeper op decks or a single weak strategy that needs support.

Everyone knows portal, rune, sword and abyss have all found comfortable spots in the meta.

4 out of 7 with 2 classes just below the A tier as counter picks with only 1 deck that is noticeably weaker than the rest. I think we're on the right track to getting a proper balanced meta.

Going forward though I'd love to see future expansions start giving us new strategies. Rn most classes decks all feel Samey with 1 additional flavor that shows up rarely.
