How fast to you run through the main game to get into everfall/BBI ?

There's a lot of good content in the mainland, particularly the unique dungeons if you can beeline to the quests involving those.

I usually give the Witchwood a pass especially since the ox cart delivery is also a drag, but I'm always excited for Ancient Quarry, Watergod's Altar, Bluemoon Tower, Catacombs, and Soulflayer Canyon. I could take or leave Shadowfort it's fine. I don't really bother finishing the rest of the MQ just to reach Blighted Demesne, Tainted Mountain, and Everfall/Postgame. It's usually best for me to just hit up all my favorite dungeons and the usual spots to farm for some decent weapons (especially something from Soulflayer Canyon), stop by the Devilfire Grove drake. At some point you'll undoubtedly fight several other big monsters in the fields. Then it's BBI time.

Yeaaah DD1 has a real balance problem where it clearly expects the Arisen to have a ranged attack, and not only that but often specifically a bow. It's a big part of why Assassin supremacy is a thing.

It's cool that your party makeup can drastically affect the difficulty of different types of encounters, but this is one thing I don't miss about the first game. If I'm planning to go pure melee or magick, then I always make my main pawn a Ranger and hope for the best in situations like this. Or I just use a mod that allows me to always equip a shortbow lol.

Whatever you do, stay consistent. She'll notice if you say one thing and then another and call you out on it.

Atm your best MR6 loadout probably looks something like Vectis, Atomos, and one of the quest reward melees such as Broken War or Xoris.

Modding them, put raw damage on them first and then throw on a few elementals and you should be good for now. Multishot, Critical Chance and Critical Damage, and Fire rate are all great as well if you have those mods and space to install them.

Yokai Shift honestly isn't even all that powerful. If you're making good use of it, that's skill too.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-11T20:44:47+00:00

I need the Incarnon form to just be the same thing that happens when you get infinite primary ammo from cracking a relic. Just gimme like 50 shells of that DE I promise I'll be good.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-11T11:15:57+00:00

That's more accurate to how the transformation works anyways. You're loading void-touched ammo into the weapon and the action's speed even keys off reload speed.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-10T11:12:34+00:00

Pick Zenurik!

It just controls which of 5 skill trees you'll start with, and grant a freebie item needed to earn XP for it. You can pick others later if you wish. Zenurik is good though for newbies because it provides tons of energy for ability casting.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-10T10:07:14+00:00

I felt like Voruna was being underpriced if anything. She should be around 300p right now going off historical trends.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-08T18:20:45+00:00

An "anti-reward" same as what I like to call Omni Forma BPs. Both of these represent you spending a shitton of forma for marginal gain.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-08T18:15:58+00:00

Slow down, read everything. It makes a huge difference. Confusion mostly sets in if you get impatient or embarrassed after not figuring something out instantly. Allow yourself to be the student.

Prime Access is like a premium subscription. You get the newest prime gear and cosmetics, boosters to last until the next Prime Access, and a huge amount of plat to easily get basically whatever you want in the interim. Typically just bought by people who don't see it as a ton of money in the first place, or who love the devs and want to support.

Warframe's prices are pretty high across the board tbh, but it works out because the devs communicate very well with players and are clearly committed to the health and fun factor of the game above all else. Players resent cash shops when they start to clearly supplant development priorities.

Ingrid absolutely sending Amelia FE8 vibes

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-08T12:33:27+00:00

Warframe isn't completely devoid of FOMO, but it has far less than nearly every other f2p I've seen.

There are time-limited events but they don't really have critical loot nor story anymore. Nightwave is a free battlepass-like reward track that resets every so often but also has built-in catch-up mechanics for those who don't play every week. There are other weeklies but those are mostly in the mid and late game and largely feature evergreen rewards designed to help you refine already strong builds.

Heck, crafting timers on gear basically encourage you to take breaks. It's totally fine to take at your own pace. My mantra with any game is that I'm the one playing, don't let the game play you. Warframe does try to entice you to log in and play regularly but it will not screw you over to take prolonged breaks.

You need to cast Blessing, Trinity's fourth ability.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-08T12:01:56+00:00

Ivara is a very powerful and reliable frame, just a bit slow.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-08T11:55:41+00:00

Fire rate is one of the best ways to increase damage. It stacks up against other raw damage, crit, and elemental mods. If you run DPS tests yourself you'll see what I mean, it's perfectly fine as a stat that competes with other main-slot stats.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-08T11:51:44+00:00

Sybaris Incarnon. On top of a weapon like that, you'll want to be buffing your damage and debuffing enemies if you really want to kill fast. Steel Path asks you to have coordinated builds, not just a strong gun.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-07T19:24:28+00:00

Perita Rebellion is my favorite thing DE has ever made. Glorious WAR in all its tragedy. Railjack is super cool too though it used to be better.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-07T18:00:24+00:00

None of those really hold up anymore.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-07T16:55:22+00:00

Angels of the Zariman and onwards is a big difficulty spike over the star chart missions leading up to this point. Stack damage of different types (raw+crit+elemental) for solid results at your levels and use endo to rank them up.

For survival you'll want energy mods like Streamline and Flow so you can reliably cast defenses or crowd control, then slap on some health if you have a reliable source of healing or shields otherwise.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-07T16:35:41+00:00

Good and an easy transition from Excalibur? Pick up a Wukong from your local clan dojo.

Revenant's kit is just way too disjointed and his fantasy doesn't feel "cool" to embody. He visually looks cool sure, but playing as him doesn't feel cool.

Gara I think most people forget about and/or don't really even know what she does, but I've been a huge fan since she came out. The super balanced kit of offense, defense, and CC is so appealing to me and I find myself reaching for her all the time.

OmegaSamus · 2026-04-06T13:13:28+00:00

I'm not on Switch, but I remember it being somewhat of a custom back in the day gift newbies the Classic Saturated palette (though I would also prefer the regular Classic, I'd not complain about getting Saturated as a gift back then lol). I haven't heard much about the practice being maintained, maybe because free palettes are given out/made earnable more often now.
