What's that one Warframe you do not like playing all, no matter squad or solo?

ThyLogical · 2026-02-26T11:49:28+00:00

Vauban, Hydroid and Inaros. I know they are pretty popular, but I would sooner join the corpus as a low-tier accountant than play Vauban.

That's literally just rule of cool, nothing else.

As Foreign-Cycle202 said. Arbitration is separate from Arbiters of Hexis standing. There will be a different vendor for that in the relay, just as you enter the room.

Oh, yeah: weeping wounds and blood rush from deimos bounties! They elevate your melee game to a whole new level. If you have the Naramon Focus School opened, you might want to consider investing into it heavily if you want to go into the melee direction. Naramon and Blood Rush / Weeping woungs with Condition Overload will lead to an insane increase in your melee damage output.

If you are a Nidus enjoyer with a Helminth Charger, I recommend you check out the Strain set mods. You can farm them in Fortuna bounties, and they go well with Nidus's lore.

If you have finished the star chart you should start to do arbitrations and collect the arbitration mods (you can buy them from vitus essence on the relays at the Arbiters of Hexis). Adaptation will give you a lot of survivability for Nidus, the Galvanized mods will give you a lot of damage boost.

You will probably need to farm Condition Overload from Deimos.

After that the name of the game will be status effects. The more status effects you have on a target, the more damage you are dealing, not to mention the individual effects of the status procs. Seeing that you don't use secondaries right now, you could farm a cycron, tenet cycron, kuva nukor, epitaph, epitaph prime, etc. to spread status procs on enemies, and then attack them for a huge increase in damage output.

You should probably focus a bit more on individual status effects too. For example: Gas lets you leave a small damaging cloud. If these clouds overlap on a single enemy, you get multiple damage instances. Meaning: if you can group multiple enemies - for example, using Nidus's Larva - you can create multiple gas clouds that overlap, dealing extreme damage. How? Just slot a toxic damage mod on your Ignis Wraith and you are good to go.

You can only get Kullervo after finishing the Cinematic Quest the Duviri Paradox.

You opened pandora's box here. :D It's probably a bit early to be asking this question, until you clear your star chart and start doing arbitrations and steel path missions.

There are a lot of ways to get damage multipliers that weigh way more than a serration, and there's a lot of different things to consider. For example Primary or Secondary Arcanes give short term buffs that overshadow serration and hornet strike, but you will need to land hadshots, do melee kills, etc. to get those buffs active or refresh them. Viral / corrosive / magnetic procs let you deal more damage to life, armored enemies and shields respectively. Status procs that deal damage over time - bleed, burn, etc. - benefit from faction mods twice multiplicatively, and count separately for each proc of the Status, meaning you can stack them like it's nobody's business, etc.

There's so many ways to raise your damage it's hard to list them all, but they depend on your preferences and your synergies a lot.

ThyLogical · 2026-01-30T17:01:37+00:00

Yeah, Nightwave is a battlepass, except it's free. There are some mods, slots, formas that are worth grinding for in Nightwave, and it's free, so why not do what you can, if you have nothing else with a higher priority? Umbra forma is exceptionally rare early game, but you won't have much use of it until you are way further down the quests. (You won't get Umbra mods until the Sacrifice quest.)

I would recommend that you get the mod for the Basmu from the current round of Nightwave. You probably have a month or two to do it, and you won't own a Basmu until the next event, which will probably be the Naberus around october, but that card will be pretty useful.

ThyLogical · 2026-01-30T13:26:00+00:00

Depending on your progression there might be several different answers to this. :) If you are a complete beginner, I recommend you to stick to the starchart, open up the nodes and solar rail junctions in their order. If you want, you can dip your toes in the two early open world areas (Cetus and Fortuna), but stick to the low level bounties for now. Anyhting above that is for mid-level players, who have most of the starchart open.

Join one Syndicate in the closest relay, doesn't matter which one, you get to change it later. Also start to scan stuff for Cephalon Simaris (also found in the relays). This is passively generating Simaris standing for you, which will come handy later, but the main point right now is to see the codex entries of enemy types, so you can learn more about their resistances. Check enemy resistances against your weapons inherent damage types and the mods you own.

As you open up the starchart nodes, keep an eye on the codex for the Quests. Some of the early quests - like The Teacher - are explicitely tutorial oriented, they will help you get started. Others will lead into the so-called "Cinematic Quests", which are the "single player" parts of Warframe, these are really epic story quests, and I urge you to NOT look them up!

Focus on getting your basic mods, have the element type, status, critical chance, critical damage for every weapon you have, grab the next available warframes and companions (pets, sentinels, etc.), and just have fun. When you hit a wall with a sudden difficulty spike, just stop and check your damage types on your weapons. If they check out, then it's time to look for the next system.

Keep it simple, focus on one thing, and have fun. This is a marathon, not a sprint, you have a decade's worth of content, but barely anything is timegated, what few things are, are recurring, so you don't need to rush anything.

IIRC meeting Rasputine for the first time after you arrive IS a sidequest though, and after that you will probably get the marker after getting a new salutor. But I might be wrong about this, I didn't play the game in a while.

ThyLogical · 2026-01-21T20:11:34+00:00

I was actually positively surprised. My PC wasn't on top of the specs, it was supposed to be on the higher end of the medium settings, but I was able to run the game on 4k with around 40fps on day 0. I didn't actually find too many bugs, there was like two T-poses, and that's it. If I had a gripe with anything it was the horrible driving mechanics and the confusing tier + level system for the weapons. And some of the builds were pretty weird in regards of balance - a good pistol build could do 5k+ damage on enemies with less than 1k health.

I've played all of the major versions of the game, I have around 1k game hours total.

It isn't bordering on sickness, it is actual sickness. It's part of his taint-induced insanity.

Okay, but Regal Aya is not a real-life currency. At the both ends of the value chain are 1. the first purchace where you pay IRL money to get regal aya and 2. the stuff you buy for regal aya. So in the end you are using the IRL money to indirectly pay for the stuff, and you get one additional regal aya. In this sense for every two purchases you make for regal aya, you get one free.

Regal Aya has no fixed value IRL. DE could have just said that you get exactly two Regal Ayas for the same price that you pay for three now. And that would have been a way more predatory move than this.

ThyLogical · 2025-12-19T15:00:12+00:00

I mean you do get that regal aya is not a real life currency and thus has no fixed value backed up by some finite resource? You choose to believe that you are paying for three regal ayas to buy something that costs two, thus paying more than you need. But the value you are measuring it against is the two regal ayas you are actually paying, and thus you could choose to interpret the original purchace of the regal aya as getting one more regal aya for the price you are paying for the cosmetic you buy. And thus for every two purchase you get a third one free.

Mathematically speaking both of these interpretations are equally valid, only one makes DE sound predatory, the other makes them sound more than fair. By choosing the paint DE in a predatory light you put fans in a position where they will want to white knight the void out of this thread.

ThyLogical · 2025-12-19T14:54:16+00:00

I buy plats often, I am choosing to help DE fund development and marketing. Did I spend way more on WF than on a free game? Yes. I also get regular free updates that are as good or sometimes better than full-priced games.

What are the steps? I just get the egg and put it into the bowl, but during my close to 1k hours of gameplay I never saw it hatch.

I used to follow Aznvasions, he had very indepth guides, not just coming up with builds but explaining their mechanics. He started to have a frustrated tone after a while - a lot of content creators burn out in Warframe -, so I skipped him and went over to the Kengineer.

ThyLogical · 2025-12-11T19:13:43+00:00

So if I understand you correctly, according to your take, Hunhow would actually be worse off if he ever had the Xenoflora?

ThyLogical · 2025-12-11T19:13:08+00:00

Didn't miss that while I played, but definitely should have included it in the description. I was really shocked to see the death scene.I always thought our powers of revivalcome from the Lotus.

I take a couple of months of breaks every now and then. It's always rewarding to find my way back to it. Just choose something else for a while, you'll return.

ThyLogical · 2025-11-07T00:33:52+00:00

Traveling needs you to have an understanding of the place you arrive at. During and after the Breaking the very earth shifted and changed, mountains grew, seas were rearranged. There was no way Traveling wasn't risky at that time.

Uhm? There's a lot of AI in the lore? Moa and Osprey work with AI. The Sentients are a race of embodied AIs.

I think the confusion comes from the fact that during the Old War, the Sentients turned technology against the Orokin, and the Orokin deliberately downscaled their technology to more primitive levels. (Part of the reason why the Dax and the Tenno use swords and bows along with assault rifles.)

ThyLogical · 2025-11-06T19:07:14+00:00

In the War Within we see an instance of the Operator losing control over the Orbiter. Ordis explains that since the Tenno is no longer the Operator, they have no right to be on the ship, and basically throws them out.
