@@notflamingsuns I'm not quite sure, though I would assume it does.

Check the pinned comment, El Papi gonna do Nova justice.

@@user-ji3cj2co9l Very true, a lot of augments in the game are just fixes that should have been part of the base ability.

@@walkelftexasranger Soul punch and the others are very much worthless abilities, but I don't think decoy is bad, it has been very useful for me when in tough spots. While there are definitely frames that need a lot of help, I don't think every frame needs to have high usage. We've gotten to the point of having over 60 Warframes, and that number just keeps climbing, DE can't realistically have every frame be great when the sandbox changes all the time due to being a love service game. Even if an ability isn't seen as being very good, all that really matters to me is that it is at least somewhat practical. Decoy does exactly what it's meant to do, so I have no problem with it. Things like Haven or Soul punch do not work well for what they are trying to do, so abilities like that are a negative ghostrider. Loki could use a few small changes here and there I suppose, but overall he fills his intended role well, and that can't be said for quite a few other frames.

full aggro is really good man, its like a better resonator and you don't see people complaining about that ability. only ability on his kit I could understand actually being outdated or bad would just be radial disarm. "There's a GOOD reason why these Warframes have low playrate. They're either outdated, have weak numbers or their kit have major flaws" i don't know if you are talking about loki here or not either because loki doesn't have a low playrate, same with hildryn. also ngl I think every single warframe would rather use helminth than their base kits so its not really an alternative more like a meta. nvm I forgot gauss

Nidus also can't level cap, he loses stacks faster than her can build them. Sheild gating is such a advantage at endgame.

@@QseftJohn but there's an augment that helps him gain stacks faster when he uses his 4th. With that augment, he can gain stacks as quickly if not faster than when he loses them.

@@janovmi2 Chroma has 2 useless abilities but his vex armor is insane, so it helps balance out, he still needs reworked though tbh. Even with arcane battery Oberon is still doo doo imo. Equinox is mostly fine as is I think, but I would like it if all her abilities could stay active when switching forms. Pseudo exalted and exalted weapons are an issue, but they aren't big enough to completely kill most frames. DE has mentioned in the past that they will look into maybe changing pseudo exalted weapons in the future, and I'm guessing they at least realize the disparity in power between exalted weapons and normal weapons right now, especially melee weapons. Grendel has only one main issue for me, and that's the fact the enemies in his stomach still suffer from status effects. If they fixed that, he'd be quite strong.

@@potatosalad3655 I never thought of that, that's a massive brain play.

@@Einzweig there was a point in time when you could switch teleport the defence objective and I'd take it with me to the extraction point Now THAT was big brain lmao

@@potatosalad3655 That sounds orgasmic.

What would you suggest for changes to his kit?

@@SillySpaceMonkey Rework his Switch Teleport and Decoy into something useful (right now it's garbage) and for love of God give him ACTUAL PASSIVE.

@walkelftexasranger decoy is not garbage. Fair on the passive. Switch teleport is scaling duration iFrames, which is outstanding if you don't wanna be invisible all the time, or if you end up getting AoE'd super hard. I have safeguard switch over rolling guard.

Yes and no. I just test in duviri. Our decoy is too strong but too weak at the same time. It can almost 1 hit thrax but be 1 hit too( 1 with aug

@@BlazenR3d Sad but true.

I'm not sure if this is still the case but it used to be that nekros shadows counts towards the spawn limits and effectively reduces the amount of enemies in a mission, which goes against the idea of Desecrate. Out of pretty much every frame, he's one of the few that I never cast his 4 with. For any reason.

@@noughtic8204 Her 2 needs range to actually nuke stuff, that's not duration. Her 4 is dependent on strength being high or low for speed or slow (hey that rhymes) which is also not duration. Her energy economy is raging doo doo, so you need efficiency or equilibrium to fix it, which is also not duration. If you build just duration on her, then everything she does is below subpar to the point of not even worth having. The build I showed with her augment was purely in relation to her augment, that isn't a build I'd use normally, that was kind of a given. I thoroughly explained all the issues I have with her abilities, and you didn't address most of the problems I brought up. If Nova is a jack of all trades, then I'd alter the saying that goes with it, to be more accurate to her kit in the current sandbox. "Jack of all trades, doo doo at all." That joke sounded way better in my head, but it ended up being so cringey that it's humorous in its own way I suppose.

​@@EinzweigI didn't dismiss your points because you floundered so much on them, getting hung up on non problems that it's hard to identify what those points actually were lol, if you wanna get into Energy economy just minth on Nourish lol I'm sure you can find a spot amidst all her "trash" abilities, there are even modern frames that have terrible energy economy but for the utility Nova provides it's worth it. Nourish also makes her 2 a scaling nuke so there's dual purpose there but that's not even the point I'm trying to make. You're talking about her 4 scaling with Strength, you tank it you get Speedva for farms, you only need 145% for max slow, how in any sense is that a heavy investment? Your take breaths heavy "I don't play Nova but I'm gonna have an opinion about her without any more than the most superficial testing"

​@@EinzweigAntimatter drop doesn't scale with range, it's fixed at 15 meters. It also isn't LOS and has no falloff so it's surprisingly useful as long as you're not trying to exclusively kill with it

@@Einzweig Like you say "thoroughly explained" when you were straight yapping for almost 20 minutes being barely coherent beyond the most surface level criticisms again about things she doesn't even do anymore, if you compare apples to oranges in the metrics of you want all apples to be oranges, those apples are never going to satisfy you, if you criticize Nova on an ability that's literally free 90% DR but only based on an outdated pseudo ability DPS Augment (while also never mentioning the Molecular Prime Augment giving it nigh infinite uptime) then continue to complain about Energy Economy and Casting Speed like there aren't low investment means to fix both of those issues for any frame let alone one that literally only needs one stat to do what she does best, then ofc she's gonna seem shit. But that's not a criticism of Nova, that's a criticism of your understanding of Nova, which all you really managed to communicate in her little dedicated section was your lacking thereof. Furthering on this, if you judge a weapons platform in the metrics of an ability nuke then you're only going to see how that weapons platform underperforms in its capacity to ability nuke. These are anti-criticisms and non-arguments which is why I said it's hard to identify what your points actually were. You didn't give her any fair criticism or even talk about where she fits in the current sandbox beyond Speedva which speaks volumes, because she has a well established place in it, and while I agree her passive needs tuning that's where our neutral ground ends because beyond that you really didnt say anything of substance.

​@@noughtic8204 I still think several of the points I made stand, but after some more research and review of myself, I think you're right about me not explaining a lot of it well enough and focusing on some things that aren't as relevant as I made it out to be. I think it's important to accept the L rather than live in ignorance, so I'll gladly take the L here if it means I don't have to continue looking like an idiot. While I have tested and researched Nova, a lot of it turned out to be outdated info or just me misunderstanding it, and I'm quite unhappy with myself over it, as I genuinely wanted to give an honest review of her. I've got other videos recorded already for the next few days, but that gives me ample time to go over Nova again. I'm going to do a dedicated Nova video after making sure I've got everything right, so it'd be epic if you'd give me time and let me try to rectify this. TLDR, I accept this defeat and will now attempt to fix it.

@@pythonxz The problem is that he then has to be in his sandstorm 100% of the time to not die in high level content. All they have to do is reduce the damage scaling of enemies and he'll be way better.

​@@Einzweig "High level content" are we talking about base steel path? cuz if that's the case, he can survive there, no problem. With ~ 4k HP with a single mod, and 40% DR from armour without mods, he sits at ~ 6.5EHP, slap some armour and adaptation and he sits over 100k, at base steel path, enemies hit for like ~500 damage. Or are we talking lvl 9999? Cuz if it's the later, then no warframe can survive there without some gimmick, be it invis, shield gate, i-frames, etc, I don't think DE is making frames with endurance runs in mind. Reducing the damage scaling of enemies ends up hurting the warframe that can use enemies' damage, xaku, nekros, nyx, radiation procs, etc. Don't take it the wrong way, but do you even know what are you talking about?

@@omeganecron Nidus is a well designed frame that suffers from being outdated. If they changed the damage scaling on enemies and made his stacks scale faster and have a higher cap, then I think he'd be golden. I'm working on a Nidus max investment video right now, I'm finding some useful stuff with him.

One of its biggest issues is his Link ability. if he was more mobile he would work better in end game a bit longer. I replaced it with eclipse as a band-aid fix, but he still struggles at high levels. his lack of shield gating makes it difficult to survive end game combat.

@@Silentismn Elite deep Archimedea with all the debuffs? I was getting clapped out mega hard. The weekly debuffs do play a part though.

@@skylersather2918 Atlas needs some love yes, but he is still extremely strong. His ability to one punch almost anything while also having damage immunity is quite nice.

@@Einzweig Sure but having two ability be completely useless and total jokes makes him very boring and one dimensional. I just want his 2 and 4 to do anything but I don't see how to make them work besides changing them completely. And no, using his 2 to mess with the AI in the INDEX doesn't count as something.

@@walkelftexasranger Valkyr and Chroma at least have the upside of their good abilities being absurdly strong. I don't think Loki needs any changes for the most part, he's quite good as is. I have a video recorded about Loki that I'll post tomorrow, it goes over the reasons why I think he's so great.

Chroma is a better tank/weapons platform than Revenant is, even more so with Arcane Battery in the game now as energy tanking builds are laughably resilient with him

@@pancpete1975 That's actually a big brain idea.

No

I agree with you, because a speedva and easily turn into a slowva if your team mate are running power aura mods. I have held off on investing in her build because I don't know how much strength I want her to have.

@@QseftJohn run her at min strength (10% with Power Donation and Overextended) and run conditional strength mods/arcanes on Madurai (Sling Strength, Molt Vigor, Energy Conversion, etc) if you want the ability to switch between Speed and Slow on a whim

and trust me I get it im an Ivara main basically since she came out I get it that she is needing a fix but the bow is basically a helmet slot because of the amount you have to force it too work and would love a Rework but the way warframes with exulteds are is half the problem adding the ability to mod them didn't change anything

@@jjsmitescrib9787 Exalted weapons suffer mostly from being outdated. Pseudo exalted weapons are in a weird spot, but DE has said they will look into changing them in the future. I think that DE will likely fix both of them sometime down the line, so all we can really do is wait.

Got her to 30 and forgot about her

Nyx op turn the strong enemies in EDA into allies like nekros and watch your allied enemies kill demolysts lol

Nyx is damn fun with my lvl 9999 stug build though

@@lystenclosely752 I don't think Nyx is that bad, she just suffers from being a worse version of several other frames. She's getting reworked in 1999 though, so we shall see what DE does to her.

Nyx has been my main for a long time now. She needs something but honestly I don't think it needs to be too crazy. I don't want my main to become super op after 1999 because I weirdly like maining something that nobody really plays 😅

It's literally free unmodded 90% DR, Nova literally only cares one stat: Duration, you can full tank range if you want your particles to stay with you, if you want QoL for it there's the Molecular Prime Augment which on Speed or Slow is what you're building around anyway...

@@noughtic8204 Having your damage reduction go away and modding to prevent an ability from functioning is bad design. Just make Nullstar recastable to send out the projectile for maybe some CC and stop them from seeking out on their own. Make the augment for them do damage and heat. Problem fixed.

@@PhoenixXIII I agree with both those points, cos yeah as it stands it requires actual mod space for what is really just QoL lol

@@simongalecki9645 I recommend trying a shield gate setup using catalyzing shields, fast deflection, and vigilante vigor. So long as you keep moving around, you shouldn't have any issues surviving.

@@Sableye_Joe Nothing better than the cat lady having a cat army. If you use duplex bond on your pet, you can get another 3 cats, which puts you at a solid 10 cats. 5 from the desiccation augment, one with Venari, one from your normal companion, and 3 from duplex bond on your companion.

@@trashmonster2293 I do my best. 😎
