วีดีโอ

really awesome video, thank you :D

hope they fix thermal sunder augment, not working, blast/cold/heat are cool stats to give to the summons, i have already apply viral from my primer and companion, also, the melee ones don't seem to apply nourish viral at all, but the ranged ones yes, seems the "tau status chance" also applies to the other effects

quick question, is the kitgun you use just a random one or is there a specific build to work with the arcanes?

I love my Ortholyst

Great video I was wondering how I could improve my Caliban's performance (at least the summons, the summons were what got me interested in him waaay back upon release) and the info here is perfect for that! I know there are other better subsume abilities for him, but I want to give a special mention to desiccation's curse, which can allow him to summon 5 cats, for a total of 12 friends (16 if you add companion + Duplex Bond) and create the Swarm experience

personally I use empower to get 50 more power strength and pump the level of the summons up even higher

Nice video! I suggest maybe an AI voice? Would be nice to not have to read along and focus on the visuals and gameplay :)

excellent video. good text. well done i just got a 200% invigoration and now have 500% power strength before camisado >:) gooded video i say again. thank you

Hey since we're leaning into electricity damage, could i use archon stretch for energy generation since it works with companion abilities? Might be a way of circumventing calliban's energy hungry playstyle lol

First of all: I absolutely love this video format. You make a 15 minute video actually enjoyable in the era of 10-20 min that don't say anything at all. From the editing, actually watchable in-game clips (not guaranteed in the chaos of Warframe), to the music choice. You deserve many subscriptions just for this. About the video: I stopped playing consistently since before Warframe 1999 because I played a lot of whispers in the wall-jade shadows and the new content really doesn't appeal to me. But I was experimenting with Caliban's summons right after the rework, they were bugged as hell, and I found it a fun AND somehow innovative way to play the game. While Nekros may be the "master" of summons, I just think being able to not worry as much about dying is way more valuable than "stronger" summons. All those tools feel great to me. Also I always tend to not subsume Nourish in any build. It may be very powerful, but relying on it really kills build diversity which really hinders gameplay in Warframe IMO. Once they'll fix Shock Trooper not applying to sentients again, it might be a good idea to run it on Caliban AND still run Theorem Infection-Residual Arcanes for a support status IMO. We have the DoT from Electricity, at that point Cold might actually be useful so that our mindless Sentients can actually hit enemies reliably, boost crit damage by a flat amount, and maybe even trigger some cold-related arcanes.

calling Caliban tech obscure is an understatement to be honest

SUMMULYST GANG

finally, I’ll be able o use the skin I paid for. Yippie

Good stuff! Also something else to mention and it's regarding Arcane Camisado. You gain stacks when your summons deals damage, which for Caliban is pretty much everything. But it also includes the Conculysts' Fusion Strike beam! And it makes getting max stacks of Camisado trivial. So if you want to snapshot Ability Strength for your summons, you can do something like: summon Conculysts -> Fusion Strike for Camisado stacks and armor strip -> do whatever Ability Strength snapshotting you want to do -> Summon Ortholysts/Summulysts -> if you have a subsume for elemental damage, give them that -> get Residual buff.

man , fck. now i need to get into this theorem-residual stuff and get an updated kitgun, Great video thank you for the information.

This is such a good video wtf !!!! I initially thought this must be a 50k channel at least. Wow.

Brooo the kitgun 😭

Really salty how alot of things interact with summons Like you'd think its pretty straight foward (and it is in some cases,aka nourish and roar) Also appreciate the theorem one as i never underatood if i was doing something wrong with it,or if it worked on him,got frustrated and never touched it again I do hope we get an augment for these guys,or ya know...fixes...

Hey man, I gotta say, 10/10 on this one. I'd love to hear more videos from you about things like base caliban's kit (especially since i consider a no-helminth setup the best) and some weapons that go well with him. Instant sub from me

Yeah I saw a guidemaker trying to say Ortholyst is bad, I just sat there and went "did he actually use it?"

Finally, a caliban video that teaches me something new, and is posted after summoner's wrath and camisado dropped.

Fun fact from dante all new/rework warframe can buff operator and necramech that why caliban 3 can overshield operators

Would you consider making a Cali-bibble (Caliban bible) at some point? I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate that. Edit: Holy shit, i did not realize how new your channel was. This video was really well done for such a new channel. Keep up the good work!

Came for the Caliban guide, left with more music in my playlist

May I say that I genuinely love this video. Both for its informative and detailed breakdowns as well as providing the names of the music tracks used. I now have some new favorite tunes to listen to.

fun fact: ive been working on a strength build myself, and well... 30k tau is very satisfying to see

"avid caliban fan" not gatekeeping here, all my calihomies are valid, but how long have you been one?

Aphex twin ahh soundtrack

This is really cool! A good guide to Caliban’s kiddos, and I now know how to use residual arcanes. Thanks!

12:35 "Summons dont seem to get the Theorem buff on summon but rather on refresh." Wait... So I have been doing it all wrong? I thought it snapshotted at the time of casting. At least for Nekros summons.

I got into an argument with some brainlet in a TH-cam short about Atlas being outdated and needing a rework, this MF had the audacity to say Rumblers were better Lethal Progeny. *_Fucking Rumblers._* If that buffoon ever sees this comment, you're still dead wrong.

Informational Warframe guide with a banger playlist?! Now that's what I'm talking about!

I actually took caliban to an EDA with a friend of mine but didn't have any weapons to deal with necramechs. I was SHOCKED to see my conculysts absolutely obliterate them for whatever reason, the tornado attack specifically

Honestly, as a Caliban main, I've found all of his guys are really good if you know what you're doing. They've been the reason I do so well most of the time.

As @snivyland2878 pointed out, the buffs from Shock Trooper and Smite Infusion don't seem to be working at the moment. This was originally an issue that was fixed after the launch of the rework, but it seems it's gone back to not working anymore. Nourish still works though and they've already fixed the issue once so here's to hoping they can do it again!

Great video but I think you missed a really weird and important quirk. If you use shock trooper and smite infusion for some reason the ortholyst barrage attack will not proc the element you applied to it. I’ve tested this a thousand times and I still have no clue why it doesn’t

Awesome video! Always wondered which goober was doing the best

i see a pattern with the bgm. i like that pattern.

As a huge caliban fan/main, I greatly appreciate this video. Very well done! I can't wait to try some of these interactions with the residual arcanes!

Glad more people are warming up to Caliban since the rework. He is definitely my preferred summon frame. I have been gunning really hard for an ally flood build. Pretty much consists of lethal progeny for a max of 7 sentients Mind control over razor gyre (with mind freak and the bugged primary acuity kuva chakkhurr (talking 10,000% mind control damage if you land the right priming hits)) A hound with duplex bond, manifold bold, momentous bond, contagious bond, and null audit (dog weapon modded for as many status types I can fit) The end is an eximus dog that can apply pretty much any status type assuming I am killing a bunch of eximus units 90% efficiency means the hound copies itself every two ability casts at most. Best case scenario you have 7 sentients, 1 10,000% buffed eximus, and 4 hounds (the main hound being a super status priming eximus 90% of the time)

Absolute banger video. I was trying to figure out why theorem infection wasn't applying. Because the weird thing is, at lower stacks and lower power str, the buff applies even if you summon after getting the buff. Finally understood it after so long😂

I'm actually surprised that that summon damage mod and Rhino roar are Faction Damage buffs. Is faction damage their version of "true damage" buff? Also, now I'm curious how these summon mods interact with Dante's birds. Are those birds considered an "entity" in game that is affected by such buffs? I love this video. Gave me things to think about when I'm going to tinker with my own Caliban.

Came for the info, stayed for banger music playlist

3:38 excuse me what? I didn't know that, even tho I've played Caliban for a loooong time. Guess something about it breaks on certain missions or I'm simply unlucky

This video rocks holy hell. Super informative, well edited, based music choices, it's all there

mmm good caliban soup

This video is badass as hell. Genuinely amazing video!

I don't want to detract from the work you've done here, it's legitimately very good and very useful information to have, but if you're going to list BRCF in the music credits, could you add JSR and Umurangi Generation too? Also (as much as I'm sure you're aware I'm pointing it out anyway in case you're not), Scraped on the Way Out and Last Hoorah should be included as BRCF OST tracks.

This is esoteric tec and I will be using it, thank you

Honestly? Fucking Impressive, I've always been interested in Caliban, the multiple summons, the massive utility, the complexity but I always found it infuriation the little in terms of information about his kit works, this might be one of my favorite Warframe videos ever, keep up the good work <3.
