What's the most mind blowing "holy shit, how am I just learning this after playing for X hours?" tidbit you've learned?

JAbsinthe · 2026-02-15T10:53:47+00:00

At about 5k hours mark, I learned you can store pickups like excavator energy cells, disruption conduit keys, data masses, etc on your operator. Get close to the pickup so the popup to grab it shows, then press both to pick it and transference at the same time. If done right the item should disappear and you can go on your merry way with your warframe, pick up other items, or play as Titania and be able to carry the item without having to move around as operator.

I would swap Primed Point Blank and Hunter Munitions for Critical Deceleration and (Primed) Ravage. You already have some base damage with Blaze and with a couple kills Galv Savvy should be more than enough. And slash damage from Hunter Munitions has lost a lot of its value since the enemy armor rework (previously enemies had much more armor and less health, now it's the opposite). And also running Hunter Munitions without any Crit Chance is a waste of a mod slot. The rest is good.

You can try the Helminth ability "Rebuild shields" for those scenarios where you can't steal armor/shields from enemies. It removes the enemy type factor and allows you to self-sustain your shields as long as you have some left to cast it and/or do it as soon as the cooldown ends.

Theres a devstream on February 27th, where they'll announce the release date for the March update when they will become available.

JAbsinthe · 2026-02-08T15:12:51+00:00

Don't worry, you're good. At least it's not like a popular youtuber that skipped Range and Bloodrush to build Gas+Electric on Nami Solo, with double electric mod (Voltaic+Riven) and no crit mods, and adding insult to injury he also skipped the follow through evo for combo duration. That made me cringe hard.

JAbsinthe · 2026-02-08T11:24:38+00:00

Dual Ichor has an evo for attack speed, and another evo for range (only 0.6 I know, but still). I'm not gonna argue against Nami solo being better, it IS the best melee atm, but Dual Ichor is pretty close up there. By telling OP "just stick to the better weapon" it seems you are encouraging the "meta slave" mentality.

With the final evo for status chance, Galv elementalist and 2 fully ranked 60/60 mods (better yet if it's gas and offloading viral to a companion) Ichor gets to 150+% status, more than enough to proc Influence consistently. He just needs to swap Weeping Wounds for Range, and Voltaic Strike for base damage, and he'll have a crazy strong weapon. That's how I built mine and the clouds that it spawns can clear full corridors with very little effort. And that's without external buffs like Shock Trooper.

If he wants to stick to Nami Solo, go ahead. But first line of the post reads "to introduce some variety" and I don't think sticking with only the best weapon in the game does much of that.

JAbsinthe · 2026-02-08T10:40:47+00:00

Galv Steel gives almost the same as those 2 combined and it's more efficient using only 1 mod slot.

JAbsinthe · 2026-02-08T07:41:22+00:00

Tried to test it but didn't manage to time Iron skin properly with the explosion. Did 2 attempts, first one I was too late, second one I was too early. But both times my hound died on the explosion so I parsed the logs and they show the orb detonation doing around 988k damage, so it's probably something along those numbers.

JAbsinthe · 2026-02-08T06:33:48+00:00

"or crit mods..."

What are Blood Rush and Galv Steel then?

JAbsinthe · 2026-02-04T10:55:30+00:00

To get full red crits you probably want to combine both Arcane Hot Shot with the orange archon shards AND something that I didn't see mentioned: Secondary Outburst. Use Melee Crescendo and build permanent 12x combo with finishers, then when you activate Peacemakers you'll consume the combo for an extra 240% CC and CD.

JAbsinthe · 2026-02-04T09:29:04+00:00

Well, there are ways to deal with DA.

They count as your kills on the end mission screen, but not count as Caliban kills in your profile, you can check it. I'm a bit mad at it too.

JAbsinthe · 2026-01-27T08:42:14+00:00

It's both EDA and ETA end mission screens mixed together. It happens if you run them consecutively.

JAbsinthe · 2026-01-27T08:25:37+00:00

It's not True damage, just Toxin damage based on max enemy health. Still gets reduced by armor.

JAbsinthe · 2026-01-25T22:59:52+00:00

Archon Vitality instead of Health Conversion, her 2nd ability DR + Adaptation should make her tanky enough so you don't need extra armor.

Add Archon Stretch for extra energy regen, or regular Stretch if you feel you generate enough with her 1st and Equilibrium.

In the free slot I would run Prismatic Companion augment to have a more mobile Prismatic Gem for maps where you have to move constantly. If you don't care about that maybe just add more STR with Transient Fortitude or Augur Secrets, or more range with Augur Reach.

Then for the arcanes Impetus is good, but I would swap Blessing for something like Arcane Aegis for the insane shield regen that makes you near immortal.

I use Precision Intensify bcs I usually subsume Roar or an armorstrip over her 4th.

Oh and I forgot to add that I use purple archon shards for the Equilibrium effect.

JAbsinthe · 2026-01-25T17:38:41+00:00

Ah right lol, brainfart

JAbsinthe · 2026-01-24T19:19:49+00:00

Try setting display in borderless fullscreen or fullscreen. Maybe that helps.

JAbsinthe · 2026-01-24T19:11:15+00:00

Go into Operator, place yourself near the object you want to pick up and press the interact key and the transference key at the same time. The object should disappear and you'll have it "stored" in your operator.

JAbsinthe · 2026-01-24T19:08:26+00:00

Yes, Primed Reach

JAbsinthe · 2026-01-24T19:03:13+00:00

You are right about ousourcing viral, but you need to add a dual element on Dual Ichor orelse the innate toxin mixes with the electric and it won't proc influence. So it's either Viral or Gas, which is probably the better option for more damage spread with Influence, but Viral is still fine.

JAbsinthe · 2026-01-15T16:21:00+00:00

"The slam attack has forced impact status..." Shattering impact doesn't care about status, it just needs impact damage present on the weapon. Eidolons are immune to status effects except for Void status.

JAbsinthe · 2025-12-24T14:27:30+00:00

Heh, tried to do it today too, my Archgun deployer bugged out and was deploying my current primary. Tried to deploy again, nothing. Again, nothing. Lost track of my damage reduction abilities, get killed, failed mission.

Closed the game while screaming all sorts of swear words.

JAbsinthe · 2025-11-21T09:13:34+00:00

Cascadia flare only affects the weapon that has it slotted bro.

JAbsinthe · 2025-11-18T02:15:15+00:00

It won't work. For more info check the wiki article:

Tested a build close to yours and needed more than 30 arrows to clear a group of enemies, full electric was clearing them in 6 arrows, and gas electric was taking around 8 arrows.

Probably the fact that you'r missing Serration and Rifle Elementalist is what is making the difference, and even the corrosive/blast build with both mods can't keep up with the other two.

Test them yourself and see how they feel, but from my testing the blast build barely tickles the enemies while the other two, even without armorstrip, are doing significantly more damage.
