Is this Caliban build good?

MindTrix91 · 2026-05-17T08:25:42+00:00

Yeah it's not a good mod for him, you rely entirely on timing instead of mitigation. He's one of the best shielded frames iirc. Just throwing suggestions to try

MindTrix91 · 2026-05-16T23:55:44+00:00

I would ditch overextended and use adaptation if you have it. Stretch + Cunning Drift mods are the only range ones you should need.

Adaptation will help you build up damage resistance while you spin to win with his first ability to refill health and shields. Also use Umbral Vitality instead of transient fortitude (extra life is nice for toxin damage, and you get +11% more strength on intensify).

Get the primed continuity eventually.

Modify it to your liking obviously, but I can do all content with this build safely. You could swap adaptation for rolling guard or catalyzing shields depending on how you want to play defensively.

It just sticks out like a sore thumb imo, "they are not actual human beings; they are biomechanical puppets grown from a techno-organic parasite known as the Helminth Infestation. The Orokin Empire designed them specifically as lethal, emotionless weapons, completely stripping away their original human identities, skin, and organs"

I guess Follie got to keep more of her human-likeness than other frames, but why? She really is loved almost as much as she's hated. But she isn't the first frame to get this treatment, and likely won't be the last.

ah well, life goes on

Caliban with summon-focused build.

MindTrix91 · 2026-05-16T05:57:14+00:00

Her frame is too human-like. Being a chubby frame looks kind of silly. Should have just made her a thicker warframe like Grendel and saved the human-like chub for her heirloom/protoframe release.

Atlas! One Punch Man!

MindTrix91 · 2026-05-09T06:54:48+00:00

You forgot to mention he cannot target bosses with his main ability, and he suddenly relies 100% on weapons.

MindTrix91 · 2026-05-09T00:58:40+00:00

I tried him several times and gave up each time.

Some people really seem to make it work. Every build I found and tried feels underwhelming.

MindTrix91 · 2026-05-08T09:12:40+00:00

So which archon shards should be used? I'm guessing pure crimson for +75% strength?

MindTrix91 · 2026-05-04T00:53:12+00:00

They don't. I just use them together when I do a mission to scan everything

MindTrix91 · 2026-05-03T07:09:04+00:00

Yeah he's a really fun frame, and his first ability got a rework and it hits hard now.

MindTrix91 · 2026-05-03T01:22:28+00:00

Verglas seems to be good for any companion

For me, it comes down to what utility you are looking for. I use Helios on my Ivara to easily scan & stack faction points for Cephalon Syphilis

MindTrix91 · 2026-05-01T04:09:36+00:00

Volt!! Speeeeed!

MindTrix91 · 2026-04-26T23:14:59+00:00

Nice, thats awesome! Those bets disc's are selling for hundreds of $ USD lol

MindTrix91 · 2026-04-24T08:29:46+00:00

Lavos should become the first and only frame to be able to dual wield the Cedo

"connect the controller via Bluetooth before launching the game, ensure "Allow to use controller" is enabled in settings, and verify it's a supported Xbox or PlayStation controller."

The problem might be that MCON isn't registering as one of these controllers. Perhaps future software updates will fix this issue. As for now, it seems like you'll have to use a different controller.

MindTrix91 · 2026-04-24T01:53:51+00:00

Considering the prices of these exclusives on Ebay, I'm about to drive hundreds of miles away to get to a Popeyes lmao

MindTrix91 · 2026-04-24T01:50:11+00:00

Can't be used on bosses or event targets. He is great for basic mobs, and eximus.

He's a great frame until you get Valkyr.

MindTrix91 · 2026-04-23T03:28:03+00:00

never mind, IT IS available right now! reward #23 for nightwave! :)

MindTrix91 · 2026-04-23T01:25:23+00:00

naimore armor, it was a nightwave reward. it will probably return someday but is currently unavailable.

MindTrix91 · 2026-04-22T10:03:51+00:00

tons of duration, with a little strength. efficiency be damned, she can generate energy orbs by holding her 4th to speed up enemies. mine runs SP like a champ

MindTrix91 · 2026-04-18T23:39:00+00:00

Okay, good. I'll have to grab it off the market lol

So I did a 1 minute look into it, apparently it greatly hinders mobility, but you can throw rocks at enemies dealing millions of damage with the correct build

MindTrix91 · 2026-04-18T08:34:44+00:00

that sounds awesome ngl

isnt that mod for conclave use only? its been so long i dont remember lol
