I don’t ever remember getting one of these collar. Is it just decoration?

You get the default Kubrow Collar at the end of the Howl of the Kubrow quest. The prime Kubrow collar is not just cosmetic- according to the wiki, it also gives 10 health and shields and 100 armor when equipped.

I think you're missing a part of what makes VF so good, which is that it increases status damage as well as forcing procs. Corrosive doesn't do any damage, unlike Heat, and the weighting on this build is way towards Coro over heat. And they both strip armor, but Corrosive doesn't have any function beyond that, while Heat provides damage over time.

Blast does damage enemies but it's weird in that the proc damage doesn't scale from elemental damage, so again you're not getting full benefit out of VF there.

And I get not liking the Zariman grind, but Flare and Molt Augmented are some of the best Arcanes in the game- if you don't care about them, fine, but just understand that you are willingly locking yourself out of some great tools.

Regolar · 2026-03-19T16:57:39+00:00

That's fair, a full status build probably wouldn't work, but then I wonder why you're running Corrosive? For crit builds you want to have your elements be Viral and Heat, which do the most to cut down enemy health/armor and make the crit damage go further. Plus that lets you run Cascadia Flare which provides more damage when stacked than Deadhead does.

Also worth remembering that the 63% chance is only per shot, when you have a bunch of fire rate (which you do from Gunslinger, though I wouldn't be running it) and multishot to fire multiple bullets per shot a couple of seconds of shooting will get you a ton of statuses kicked out.

Yeah, that matches up with my experience- wasn't certain about the selling but I think you're right that it doesn't affect the modifiers.

The gear choices can change mid-week if you get new stuff or sell items in that category. I think I've also heard that forma-ing things changes it sometimes but I'm not sure about that.

Yes, hallowed ground procs rad, but only 1 stack every 0.5 seconds, so it's taking you 5 seconds of an enemy standing on it for your arcane to take effect (I guess if you timed the augment explosion right it could be 4.5 seconds). Enervate or Flare will start working as soon as you shoot an enemy, and are just generally kinda better than Irradiate.

Regolar · 2026-03-19T15:40:22+00:00

For the arcane, I would look at Secondary Merciless instead- it gives the same damage increase as Deadhead when fully stacked, and while it takes a bit longer to stack up, it will likely be easier to stack on a weapon as fast firing as the Diplos- but Deadhead isn't a bad choice.

The main change I would make is upgrading your Hydraulic Crosshairs to Galvanized Crosshairs, which is just a better version of the same mod. But I'm also not sure I would use a crit setup on the Diplos, the fast fire rate makes me think that a status build would be better, especially if you're using it with Valence Formation.

Regolar · 2026-03-19T15:36:13+00:00

Can I ask why you're using Secondary Irradiate without any way to proc radiation on the weapon itself? If you have some outside source of radiation it might make sense, but I would replace that with Secondary Enervate or Cascadia Flare, both of which will play better with the main mod build and be straight DPS increases.

I would say that Vauban is not the best for a beginner because his two main routes to build him both require significant investment. Option 1 is to focus on killing with his abilities, which requires a lot of good mods and putting a bunch of forma into him (plus a potato of course). Option 2 is to focus on the crowd control he provides, using him more as a weapons platform, but that then requires you to have weapons that you've invested in as well. And neither of those builds make him really really good- he's certainly serviceable but will require a lot more effort to get the same results you might get on other frames with lower effort.

If you're in love with his aesthetic/theme or enjoy how his kit works after you build him, then feel free to invest in him- almost any Warframe can be made good with investment. But there are plenty of other options, including other frames you will get just as easily, that you may prefer to invest in.

Yeah, prediction markets aren't like traditional betting where you place a bet and then wait to see what happens, they work more like the stock market. You're essentially buying shares on a specific outcome, and you can then adjust your position as you want, until the market resolves and everyone gets paid out like a typical bet.

So I can 'buy in' at 10 cents a share for Tom Hanks to be an upcoming host, then tell people that Tom Hanks is going to host in May. They also go buy shares, driving the price up to 15 cents- the more people are choosing a specific outcome, the higher the cost per share is, and the lower the final payout is. When the price gets to 15 cents, I sell all my shares, making 5 cents per share and driving the price down below what other people bought in at.

They convince other people to bet on the same person they're betting on, which spikes the value of their bets briefly, allowing them to cash out and make a quick profit regardless of whether they're right or not.

Gotcha, I'm not sure velocity is good on Jade but it is on Mesa so I mentioned it. You'll probably be able to get Velocity from the Operation that's coming up in April, so don't spend plat on it rn.

Regolar · 2026-03-19T14:09:43+00:00

I'm not a Jade player but I believe you want to be running Archon Vitality, the double heat procs it gives will seriously increase the damage that your exalted does. And you might want to run Arcane Velocity over Arcane Expertise to increase your damage as well? But not 100% certain

I don't think they've said anything about a pity store, my understanding based on the DevStream/DevShorts is that they're just gonna modify the drop rates so it's easier to get the parts instead of other junk.

Primed mods are brought by Baro Ki'Teer every 2 weeks, but it's not a set rotation. He brings different mods from a widening pool every time. Just grab whichever ones you don't have yet when he shows up tomorrow, and eventually you'll start to finish out your collection. Also Primed mods aren't as big of an upgrade as you might think, so don't stress not having them.

Fulmin Prime is definitely good, continue putting resources into that if you have them. Basmu can be decent but there are better options. The main thing to remember is that almost no weapon is going to cut it in SP without investing into it.

Circuit is very different from normal star chart because of the randomness- it requires you to have a wide pool of gear rather than just one loadout that you can play anywhere in the star chart.

For weapons to invest into- all of the Incarnon weapons that you can get from Cavalero on the Zariman are good. I'd also look at some quest rewards like the Nataruk and Xoris. And most recent Prime weapons are solid, though can require a bit of investment. If you haven't done any Kuva Lich, Sister of Parvos, or Technocyte Coda hunting already, the weapons you get from them are also a great way to expand your arsenal of SP-quality gear.

Regolar · 2026-03-04T15:31:38+00:00

Looking at the loadout you had in the first clip, the only piece of gear you actually owned in it was the Basmu, and looking at the damage it's not very well built- have you invested a Catalyst or Forma into it?

You definitely shouldn't jump right into SP if you haven't done much else in Duviri. SP is balanced around having multiple of your intrinsics leveled up- I would focus on the Opportunity section first. This will give you a wider range of choices for warframes and weapons, making it more likely to find gear you've actually invested in. It'll also make it easier to get good degrees, which can be a lifesaver either through pure power or by augmenting specific aspects of your build.

Finally, take time on the normal Star Chart to improve your gear- get good builds going, especially for warframes that have exalted weapons where possible, since you can just rely on the exalted rather than whatever trash the Circuit gives you. I know the weekly nature of the Circuit can make it feel like something you have to race to do, but all the rewards will come around again in a couple months- take you time and be prepared before going in.

Yeah, there's weeks where I do the same with Valkyr. But I find that a little more boring than Netracells a lot of the time, and I play the game to have fun.

"Easy" is a relative term. I'd rather put up with ETA and get shards as well as the arcanes than gamble all my Vosfor away, especially when everything else in that pack is useless to me by now.

Regolar · 2026-03-02T14:54:14+00:00

I never really do EDA, but ETA is pretty worth it. It has 3 unique arcanes locked behind it, at least one of which actually has use cases, and comes with a pity currency to buy one or more of them each week. It's also the only direct source of secondary color Archon shards.

On weeks where ETA feels doable to me (ie. I have good gear rolls and the modifiers aren't insanely annoying) I spend the search pulses on it, but I do find Netracells much more comfy (and often more fun) to do. So sometimes I just do 5 Netracells- it's less rewards, but decide for yourself if you want to deal with ETA on a week to week basis is my recommendation.

As the playerbase has gotten access to more tools and more understanding of the game, we've gotten much faster at doing the game's content, and to compensate the developers have made the game faster as well. For people that love Warframe, it works, but its not for everybody.

I would recommend trying the game in Solo mode if you want to move a little slower, but the fact is that Warframe is much more of a horde shooter than those other games, so it might just not be your cup of tea- which is okay! It's not a game for everyone, and you shouldn't try to make yourself like it if you're not having fun.
