Just to be clear: This video is NOT meant to be a criticism of any fellow Creators. And I don't think that Shironature blaming Knightmare Frame for having too complex builds is thought through. After all, you can't blame the No1 Min-Maxer in the Community for using late game gear. This video simply wants to supply you with the easy to access Steel Path builds that apparently many of you wish for So let's keep the discussion about that😉
Seen that video a while ago and it really made me mad to see all those people actually agreeing with it . I found it cringe that people were bashing on creators that create helpful guides . And the whole "IM POOR" is just a cop out . Every thing i have in my warframe game is farmed . Traded up for voidrig and extra slots for weps and warframes .
@@namingsway dont think it was meant to be that serious i think he was just being satire and making a joke i watched it thought it was funny but i still like kmf
Hello MHBlackey. I hope you don’t think I dislike all content creators. I actually been a fan of yours when I first started and your guides actually helped a new player like me. I like your positive attitude and I can tell you work very hard on your stuff. I def have my own silly takes on things but it’s all in good fun. I don’t mind end game builds they can be very useful! Thank you for including my video and would love to talk with you ❤ PS: thank you for not butchering my name 😊
YOOOO YOU SAW MY COMMENT Big love for your content. Absolutely amazing guides that are genuinely achievable and overall amazing. Keep up the great videos brother
About the critique: KF is completely focused on making endgame content, on getting to level cap with as many outlandish builds as possible. Of course his builds are ridiculously complex, because his fanbase is people who are searching for some stupidity and fun in Warframe endgame. If you want builds as efficient and effective as possible, please refer to GazTTV, he usually makes builds for farming and to get shit done. Blacky here is a beginner focused channel, which is definitely something we definitely needed, since as nice and welcoming as the community is imho the game is insanely exhausting and time consuming to properly get into. So yeah, good to see this vid, Blacky, tyvm.
A lot of content creators do try to suggest replacements, talk through choices and say when certain things are 'overkill'. I personally don't watch Knightmareframe's stuff for a myriad of reasons, but I feel singling him and his builds out is disingenuous. He's an exception, not the rule.
I agree in a sense as most of the builds I find across all have helmiths, maxed arcanes, primed mods, crystals, etc., so they're a bit baity for newer players as most of them don't really come online until you have most of those things in place. I'd like to see more of a tiered approach from the build makers with better transparency on what the minimum specs are for being reasonably playable and then delving deeper into min max. It'd also be helpful for more "focus on getting these items first" than just showing your full setup. A lot of the items in these builds can cost a ton of plat or highly intensive grind so knowing what's a required item vs nice to have would be helpful.
I feel that you have included "budget builds" in most of your videos. They are probably not aware of your amazing content. I have never seen that problem of only using out of reach mods. You always state clearly that you are aware of where players are and make so many recommendations. Thank you for the great content.❤
First of all - totally agree. Current content creators create vids that show off crazy builds that require a crazy amount of resources and guess what ... it requires to have an account with a crazy amount of hours behind it. And to be honest ... If I had this kinda account - I wouldn't care about their videos because I already know everything they are showing us. So... who are they creating them for? Not us - regular casual players. Also... recently a LOT of old players came back into WF after cross save got introduced. And I (like other ppl) am kinda lost where do we begin since it's been almost 6 years since I had an opportunity to play this game. They need to start showing 2 versions of builds then ... builds for casual players that are reasonably easy to achieve and builds for try-hards who put 3k+ hours into the game and never took a break.
The worst part about the later game content is that noone at that point in the game should even need those videos. Being able to construct your own builds is something 99% of players will learn by the time they have enough plat to get a max rank Energize. It very much feels like bait for new players at some points, trying to farm views and interactions even with the knowledge they will not be able to complete the build before they forget the video even exists. Examples being creators like Knightmare Frame who, while having noted his builds are for level cap content, makes next to no effort to ensure new players do not try and mimic him. He knows new players flock to his videos because of the big numbers, and makes no effort to provide the necessary context on how viable the build is for anything BUT level cap. Even just some context on these videos on what they are and arent good at would work wonders.
Absolutely unreal timing of this video. I was literally about to watch one of your older videos on how to survive SP then this was the first video that popped up upon loading TH-cam. How wonderful
I wish more Warframe TH-camrs would make budget build videos. Realistically, your average player isn’t gonna have anywhere near most of these. Especially with all the new players starting recently they could use more of these vids. Thank you for this bud!!
Thank god, I was getting frustrated and unmotivated to look up any content guides because as soon as I see arcane or primes I’m just checked out. I’m not there yet
OMG! Thanks! I've been trying to build some Warframes for weeks (Not for Steel Path but just in general to progress in the game) but all the guides that I find are ridiculous, requiring mods, arcane, crystals and many other things which are only available in the End Game and with a very low drop probability. You can't understand what a relief this video is.
You're definitely a refreshing sight for a returning player (haven't played in 3 or 4 years, just pre cambion drift) who never got any arcanes and only had a half decent Soma Prime and Nidus to his name haha - it's so refreshing to be shown paths into endgame that aren't full of "just play for 900 days for this build" or "it's only 1200 plat bro". Keep up the sick work through 2024 bud i'll keep watching.
The worst part is, all of these builds include incredibly rare and near-unobtainable mods on top of having several formas and arcanes. I love warframe, I really do. I'm especially excited to keep playing after I just got my age-old console account back on my PC, as many other people just have with cross save. But here I am, grinding to endgame builds, meanwhile I'm still actively doing older quests that are required for the new content. Can't blame the folks who just bought a necramech instead of trying to farm that junk. My damage felt so iffy when back in the day my soma prime was able to shred, now it struggles to take down some lvl 50 world enemies.
The only thing that stops me from buying the necramech is my pride in not buying anything else in the game (meaning railjack, helmith, etc.). But the temptation is real. Don't get me wrong i have nearly 2k plat in my account for I don't have a problem to throw some money on the game every once in a while. But i consider the necramech farm a thing of personal goal.
@@cwaldacwaldovic4572 fair enough. I'm, still waiting to be able to do any endgame content until my necramech finishes cooking for 2 more days. Not to mention half the builds I see require Umbra Formas+ access to steel path.
@@TheFellHeart Chromosome issue 🤣 do you even know what Chromosomes are? Clearly not because if you did you'd realise that makes no sense whatsoever Lmao! A+ for effort though, at least you made me chuckle PS: Skill issue 😉
PSA once you feel the slightest amount of confidence in any of your builds, go STRAIGHT to steel path circuit. Incarnon weapons are currently amazing and some are definitely upgrades to weapons.
i mostly watched kmf before, well i still now but not that much anymore until you pop out to this community and start building guides for beginners is really good to us, even i started warframe since 2018 my account still not able to qualify in steel path and there's still "main missions" i dont want to active
+1 on the Convectrix recommendation. Also, no; Harrow's 4 is additive crit, a.k.a. absolute value. "The critical chance applied to the weapons is a flat value applied after mods. " (From wiki)
I have a video suggestion, how about showing 2 complete loadout for steelpath/late game, one being the optimized expansive one and one being the budget decent one, with some gameplay advice (frame, weapons and stuff with some more detailed explanations) ? Whatever, I love you videos and you helped a ton so thanks a lot !
What a lot of Veterans forget is the struggle of a new player there are so many things locked behind artificial daily timers (or 3 day timers) the criticism of the video you referenced was most likely in relation to that and not "budget" builds a lot of things you NEED are locked behind syndicate/reputation which is limited daily especially if you are new there are so many blueprints locked behind not only rank up for reputation but also cost reputation to purchase. Long story short as a semi new player resources arent the issue for me what is the issue is that even if i can play 16 hours a day it doesnt matter because the timers hard stop me from progressing not the resources.
I understand where you’re coming from. But this is a video about doing steel path. This isn’t really for “new” players. You want something to do while your warframe is cooking in the foundry tho? Go after prime parts using the relic system. Even if you don’t manage to build full sets, you can always trade with barrow on the weekend to get better mods. Why not collect and build all the star chart frames while you’re at it? There’s a lot to do while your foundry is cooking
All the syndicate mods you will ever need can be traded, with the exception of things like the helminth segment. Even if there is things you need that are locked behind a daily limit, its always good to split your goals into other areas and do a little bit of everything, and trust me there is no way you can fit all of that into one day of playing
@@tigiexethis part is so important. Don’t spend all your time in one place. Move around. Taking breaks from playing is also a huge help. You won’t burn out as fast if you take regular breaks.
Absolutely incredible video. I’m mr17 so I don’t have all the crazy stuff of min-maxing so your videos are always awesome. You show a variety of different builds that everyone can use. Thank you so much and keep up the good work👍👍
As a returning player of over 5 years, I was pretty psyched to see that almost every build video from Brozime has end game builds but also absolute 'poverty builds' that even i could put together. Its shocking to me than in 2023 there are any creators not bothering to put together a 0-2 forma build for new players
Welcome back to the Origin System then ;) Hope these builds could help you a bit ;) I know they have tons of Forma but that's just because my Frames simply happen to have that many Forma applied. To recreate the builds in this vid you don' need all of them ;)
I just got access to Steel Path last night (and Arbitrations, ofc) and was curious how to build for it. I play a lot of Wukong when I want to make things easy so seeing this video is aces. Thanks
First step is not to look at your build, but to practice survivability through being mobile. Enemies literally lower their weapon accuracy the faster the player moves. Then, once you are confident in mobility, build your abilities to their strengths. Wanna build Wisp for good motes? Build strength. Wanna build a Zephyr that can bunch up a room of enemies? Build range. So on. Then look at your weapons and make sure they are built right. For that, you need to remember the categories of damage multipliers. Base damage (Serration, Hornet Strike) Faction Damage (Bane, Smite) Elemental damage (Toxin, Heat, Cold, Electricity) Multishot Crit chance and damage. You need to be investing in each of these EQUALLY. Do not go all in on base damage or elemental, cos otherwise you will get less damage than if you invest equally. Also dont forget to take advantage of status effects like bleed and Viral, as they can increase your damage drastically.
nice material. more videos like this. I'm not in a clan and when I want to build something on Path of Steel (in my case, Revenant, Hildryn, Nataruk, Code ,Trumna), I see Mods that I can't get solo. Regards
i ended up on Nezha for early SP grind/getting my galvanized mods & acolyte arcanes, either nataruk or amprex depending on the content, picked up panzer vulpa & finished off my helminth to subsume roar, made things pretty easy & was able to grind relics for other frames/weapons quickly. Unfortunately word of mouth & personaly trial and error were the only way i really settled on that lol, youtube really didn't help me out much. Which is as much an algorithm issue as it is a content creators issue, the "mid game" phase isn't exactly a popular topic to cover.
Build a full crit sporelacer for nezha and that setup will be a nuker without ammo restrictions. Also subsumes that work good is mirage for around 500% extra damage and makes nezha the best early and mid game eidolon hunter. Also terrify from nekros for full armor strip of steel path enemies.
as a returning founder that has not played in multiple years this is a huge help as so many new systems and charges has made most of my knowledge useless
Gr8 guide as always. Steel path isn't as scary once you start clearing all the nodes on the star chart with any of the builds mentioned. keep up the gr8 work MHB
I also find that Nidus can work really well, He can regenerate health which gives bonus survivability, and his third ability which gives damage reduction. and as you hit things with your abilities they get stronger, i dont think there is a cap and i have gotten to the point were i could one shot eximus in non steel path.
Yeah nidus and hildryn with blazing pillage are my go to frames for survival or defense. Hildryn works great up to around lvl 60 or 70 enemies but nidus can go way past that due to his abilities just multiplying every time you suck em up then kill em. He's kinda slept on too. I dont see many people play him
This is why I love your vids, you always give 2-3 build, OP, Budget and new player friendly. I've only been playing this game for 65 days now(760 hours MR17) and wouldn't even remotely be enjoying it as a am now if not for your amazing vids. Keep up the great work.
Wisp DOES NOT need any range at all! If you want big range wozäth your breach surge just teleport into one of your reservoir by looking at it and pressing 3. On top of that your will-o-wisp clone will also cast breach surge when you use it. So you really don't need range at all! Go for better buffs by going for more strength
....Harrow's covenant does NOT apply crit chance by multiplying the base crit chance of weapons. It adds FLAT crit chance so a weapon with 10% crit chance prior to Covenant's buff will have 60% crit chance afterwards, so you do NOT require a weapon with a good base crit chance to get a lot out of Covenant.
Blacky i am a returning vet FOUNDER and man your guides helped me get back in the swing of things cus i missed ALOT man its been a journey finding snd seeing shit and going dfauq is that dafuq are those what the fk is a arcon.... arcanes are candy now ??? Bruh. But yeah the blast on other warframe content creators is well deserved they recommend prime surefooted swear by it .... dude thats 700 days logged wtf u cant just do that . And one guys voruna build how ever op easy to play and absolutely destroys SP SHE STILL REQUIRES 7 FORMA .... 7 WTF man ( yeah 7 forma isnt any thing to majority of us nor me ) but man saying hey guys ( cus whos looking up warframe build vids ) not vets!!!! try this frame out ( that has a crazy long but easy grind ) and level it up 7 times to make this build and press 1 button to delete things 😂
Hi, Inaros main here. As someone who has 1st hand experience on using this frame from early to late game set-ups, I have to set expectations that Inaros with Non primed mods alone may not handle steel path beyond earth. I have taxied many friends to steel path(when it was still allowed). Some who tried the Inaros method as well, did poorly even with umbra mods. My two cents for this, if I were to recommend non- primed mods for newbies. A value of 800 armor and up along with adaptation is needed to clear survivals or other horde clearing missions. As well as some form of Passive healing mechanism, relying on Inaros's skill for healing is very bad. My recommendation for a cheap build would be getting the Umbra mods maxed out at least vitality and fiber, having intensity unranked from simaris is also preferred, as well as the carapace mods from Deimos at the least 2 of them to reach the 800-900 armor value, if you can't get a adaptation(Though you'd unlock arbitrations way before steel path) you can try Shock absorbers but you might want to go beyond 900 armor to compensate. For healing Inaros, the cheapest option I can recommend is a Life Stike heavy Attack build for your melee. A even better healing mechanic would be subsuming Sevagoth to the Helminth to get gloom on Inaros along with the rage or hunter adrenalin mod would set you to conquer most of steel path , IMHO worth the investment in grinding. Other healing methods of course invovle Arcanes, Though Arcane grace at least 2-3 rank would suffice. A cheaper alternative would be Arcane victory which healing is trigger by a head shot kill, not as reliable but as Inaros you'd get plenty of opportunities to proc it as you won't go down immediately with 800-900 armor, even melee headshot kills trigger it so you can invest in a melee weapon that hits high or does a strike downwards. Overall I am sorry if some of these seem hard to find, Steel path isn't really a newbie friendly thing. It is expected that by the time you get to steel path your gear could effortlessly melt Sortie level Opponents. I hope my recommendations would help you better understand the art of HP tanking.
Corrosive Projection, Gladiator Finesse + Resolve + Aegis, Adaptation, Hunter Adrenaline, Vitality, Steel Fiber. You have a free slot for whatever you want and an Exilus for whatever you want. You can also use literally any arcanes you want, but Trickery is good for turning invisible here or there randomly. Finally Subsume Gloom onto him. Obviously you should also be using Tennokai at this point, you're a lunatic if you aren't. If you want use a primer secondary to help you melee damage out, but just holding melee down is enough. He won't get you through defense missions or the strange missions like defect, but he will let you just fall asleep at your keyboard for survival and allow you to do most everything else effortlessly, just walking around with hundreds of bullets hitting him while you just RP walk through the level not fighting back. That's all. Just put those on, put a good melee on and then hold the melee button and you win until around enemy level 250-300 on Steel Path, at that point you might need to play the game. Just Pocket Sand stuff and you still do increased melee damage to them and they don't fight back. You also should have scarab Armor active but it isn't super needed. If you're ever in trouble grab a boy with 2 and suck'em to heal and be immune to damage and/or begin spamming finishers on blind enemies.
There is something that i haven't heard anyone talk about with wisp, her 2 synergizes with her passive. When her 2 is flying out it'll activate her passive even if she's on the floor.
If someone is watching this in mid 2024 or later, notice that Inaros is way better now for steelpath, specialy on grineer faction missions, in this channel is a more updated guide about that warframe that maybe turns you into an inaros main, hes a beast
To be fair, nowadays it's much easier and comfortable to build your gear, especially with the blessing system. Zariman arcanes should be allowed, considering how easy it is to level the syndicate and the arcanea themselves. I must also add that when reaching Steel Path, one should learn how to build, how damage is calculated, how to remove armor and to have one survival tool. Unlocking Steel Path doesn't mean you can beat it-it's not THAT hard, but to beat it you have to know what you're doing.
im beginning SP and my go to is yareli with nezhas firewalker because i found out that fire walker works on a K drive. i just set up firewalker, merulina, aqua blades then skateboard around spamming sea snares until a big threat comes up, then i dismount and recast fire walker with the pyroclastic flow augment basically oneshotting most threats. most fun ive ever had in this game.
I can absolutly recommend Xoris. It shredds EVERYTHING with extremly little investment. And its a quest weapon! While I use a (somewhat expensive) arcane on it (Melee Influence) its only rank 1 so far (I have 120 hours in the game and all of it fair and square with no money investment, the only platinum I got so far was from a lucky riven mod which sold for 300 plat).
Can you show you percentages for power strength, efficiency, et cetera. Make it easier to try and adjust the build if we know what percentages we're shooting for
Honestly in the game. The only thing i really need to get going is railjack and my operator. My operator doesnt really do damage and i need to fix that but the only way i know involved eldions which is not something i wanna do. And i dont understand railjack at all. I will say that moding i dont understand but its probably because i dont have anyone to help guide me step by step but i am trying to learn and the videos help alot.
no, its bound to focus schools. you need eidolons to unlock what is called "waybound" skills, which once turned on - will never be turned off regardless what school you use. they´re the permanent buffs. shit like far superior energy pool AND regen, far greater slinging distance and so on. what comes rj, just start joining on random runs RJ side. should stack you up with enough to build upgrades with. get crew from ticker in fortuna and so on. also stacks on intrisics that do help. what comes to modding, consider modpower "fuel". you get 60 units of that .. "fuel". but if you use a "Forma" (crack relics) to change a polarity to match a mod you have that has a high mod energy requirement, then that requirement is seriously reduced. with 2 to 6 forma, you can start building some real real shit with the good shit you got.
@@somberlight alrighty, alot of the eidolons amps though are locked behind killing them like 123. I am only rank 2 with him right now and I dont understand what to do for ducky yet. So I dont believe my amps are really any good for eidolons rn. If I remember my amp is a 211 rn. I want to be able to unlock these parts so thanks for the tips and tricks. I'll join other for railjack for now and do you have any ideas on helping to improve my ranking up for the amp vendors?
That might be true, but it's just as likely that they have a life, you know, a job, kids, responsibilities etc, not everyone has time to play games all day to "gitgud", some of us barely have time to play for 1 or 2 hours, maybe 3 - 4 on a weekend. @@---Kyle---
To be fair, it does kinda get lost on vets about how much access to things we have simply by playing the game for so long that newer players just don't have the privilege to without money (ex: resources, out of cycle primes, slots for frames and weapons, etc) Friends who don't play warframe frequently often quickly just put the game down because of even MR getting in the way of using weapons.
Yeah I kinda feel that. But it's always a problem that if your friend has 1k+h in the game and you're just starting then it's gonna frustrate you that you have so much ahead of you until you're there. I feel like joining a veteran friend is the safest way for butnout :/
@@MHBlacky_ENG My general advice is to be patient and just coast through, but not everyone can get into that mindset. I guess the reason why DE is fond of charging for convenience.
Good response. Theres a lot of new players lately that cant really access the builds that most content creators use. The gap in midgame build advice is a bit concerning lol.
One thing I think you forgot to include was builds for exalted weapons (at least in the case of the wukong build, haven't yet watched the rest of the video.
Been playing for just over a month, daily logins normal sessions nothing crazy, I have umbra, some solid prime mods and 2 prime frames, a lot of good mods in general and helminth/subsume. Warframes only downside is taking the initiative to google n wiki stuff to learn where and how to get/do things. But it’s not impossible
@@joelhodoborgas Mesa, Saryn and Rhino are still insanely high usage. Noone talks about them because they just havent left their place in the game. Or changed.
Just one thing, you need to mention where and how to get some of the rarer mid game Mods man, things like Adaptation, weeping wounds, Transient Fortitude, Narrow Minded, Primal rage and All the Augment Mods
@sevensaske yea, I know that, u can also find the places in game by searching the Mod, but if it's In the Same video, it's better And I've seen that in Some other video as well
Inaros is best with a tank build (Adaptation etc) , nikana zaw and daikyu with mod on. Daikyu can be built to be a monstrous ST or small AoE dmg dealer. Nikana Zaw can be fit with Nuke (can also do a Proton Snap and Melee Duplicate to Proc Gas or scaling Toxin dmg with the nuke). Put on Hunter Adrenaline and subsume a good ability to spam, can be Terrify with Creeping Terrify, can be Eclipse or Roar in fourth slot with Precision Intensify, can be many weird things that are also fun.
Also Friendly PSA: More attention span of the player = More gameplay and submersion in Warframe for the player. Long time player here. The number one greivence i've seen is players simply not committing to the game. It could be with building loadouts, quests, steel-path, or any number of the million avenues D.E has put into this game. My advice, set goals and check them off! See a build on youtube and go get it! Feels amazing when you find something that works for you! Be creative! :)
Definitely earned my subscribe after this. Do you know of a viability, budget build guide, and ranking of the warframes in-game, but in a format like this? Especially the starter and older frames.
thank you for the video, Blacky. but i like the videos you usually do. And would like to see also, as always, videos for builds(correct builds, not cheap) for every warframe, companion, and weapons, and the rest of things. Giving its right time. you are doing it right. Please don't fall for that crap, that criticism that you see. Something that i leaned about warframe, it is that you have to know that TIME is the key, to take things slow and ONE AT THE TIME, in this game. Because if not, you can feel like it is blastin you with so much things to do, at the time.
I have been working and earned a full set of incarnon weapons in the last week, and it was a huge help to level me off with level 80-90 enemies. I was getting them set up with 2.5 multi, 70% crit, fat doughy numbers, but something still felt a bit off. I watched the vid about rigging your numbers and focusing on the effect of status instead of the dmg type and matching it to enemies. Feels good man. The problem is needing like 5 loadouts on one gun because there are so many enemies, and usually more than one type in a tile set. If you are running heat/viral, or corrosive/heat or whatever and you are focusing on the effects and not the dmg bonuses its easier to build your entire loadout around a theme and less stressful, and less likely, that you wind up on a map with the 'wrong' weapons. Ive been having a great time these last two days. Going all the way up to the edge of steelpath, and finally able to ready myself for it.
Keep in mind that the base incarnon guns (Phenmor, Laetum and Felarx) all have an evolution giving them a 50% chance for 2000% damage on non crits. That ups your numbers even more :))
Video itself is really good, but i have one complain, khora in helminth is quite hard due to her farm most people having trouble with prime mods wont have khora farmed from SO, the rest i great!
Thank you! Happy you liked it ^^ Snd yeah, Khora might be a bit uncomfortable to farm. One could use Mag's Pull as a substitute in that case bc farming Nidus for Larva is even more of a pain than Khora xD
After doing what i needed to acquire TWO copies of Kullervo i can definitely say it's a farm for end game and you will want to have a resource booster and do solo if possible because there are three stupid plants you need to farm, two of which you get 1 of per objective (which is pitiful) and should never be farmed via objectives as they are available in larger quantity in specific locations, and you must do the Kullervo objective which can be done as a group easily. Khora is arguably better than Wisp but can only be acquired via RNG through Santuary Onslaught (not elite) and you need ten kavat genetic codes (can be easily acquired doing vaults solo with Synoid Heliocor or Heliocor or with someone who has a kavat using [insert name of kavat mod here]). Easy but time consuming to acquire the parts, however, getting the Kat Kodes can be easy or hard to do. What i mean by "Khora is arguably better" is with Venka as your melee weapon and equipping it with all three gladiator mods along with every "combo duration" mod and using [insert bond mod name here] along with her augment mod Accumulating Whipclaw she does fairly well. Just be sure to use the full compliment of Gladiator mods! She's even better with Ceramic Dagger Incarnon! i would recommend using Voruna's ability with Khora, Wukong, and Valkyr. Voruna is also time consuming to acquire but easier to get than Khora is. Also i'd rather just make use of Wisp's fourth ability as a DPS ability regardless how far from the sun it is. i'm continually amazed that Loki (disarm sucks), ivara, Saryn, Kullervo, Mag, Volt, Voruna, Gauss, Hildryn, nor Equinox ever seems to be on any of these lists. Inaros is interesting because you can slap the Gladiator mods on him and your melee weapon is "viable" or use Hunter mods on him and then your primary weapon is "viable." And you never have to really worry about survivability beyond that. i would not use any of Harrow's augment mods, i'd just use more duration even if it was just Auger Message. i'm still not sure about this pick and how somehow using Grendal's ability instead of Thurable is better but that's a whole can of worms for new players. Everytime i return to Protea she reminds me of how i could be using a better warframe, i don't understand why players enjoy playing her. She dies way too much for me and she goes down when she runs out of energy which i know doesn't make sense because you literally can "rewind" into a nullifier or Void Cascades grineer's fancy new "anti warframe" bubble spear.
Alot of damage falls off around there. Its at that point you really wanna start honing in on things like Slash or Viral. Get a primer, mod it for Viral Heat to cause massive vulnerability, then make a weapon with big Slash to bleed them to death. Or against Corpus, literally just Toxin.
1. Get Kullervo 2. Build for power strength and survivability (health and adaptation) 3. Get literally any melee weapon 4. Build it for heavy attack speed, efficiency, and damage 5. Load up a steel path mission 6. Find a group of enemies 7. Press 3 8. Press 1 9. Watch everything on your screen turn into a red mist You can now successfully complete any steel path mission in the game.
Steel Path is really just "harder content" with acolyte spawns which gives you arcanes and Steel Essence. Arguably, the only mission i've found that matters to play SP mode is Void Cascade. Otherwise, you could just not even touch SP if you didn't want to.
Intro of this video alone tells me one thing people also do not realize is that, Younger and Newer Tenno players are so intimidated with maxed out arcanes and primed mods and the way Build Videos on youtube are presented makes it sound like "This build cannot work if it isn't setup specifically this way", which are not always the case. At times, lesser effectiveness for cheaper setup is already more than enough for that Newer Tenno to start farming endgame gears. Not to mention when it comes to veteran and regular tenno that always play hard gatekeeps builds like "OH NAH YOU SHOULD USE THIS BECAUSE REASONS" which is honestly so toxic or that "YOU SHOULD THIS FRAME BECAUSE ITS BETTER THAN THAT FRAME". And for all newer tenno out there trying to learn how to build a frame, one thing I can tell you is that yes, it always helps watching such build videos but you shouldn't follow them to the letter unless you want to or can afford to do so. Understand the frame you're using, understand their abilities, understand the setup you want to go for and understand the purpose of your frame. There are only a few frames that can quote-on-quote "do it all" in the game. However, I believe that more purpose-built frames are more enjoyable for any Tenno as they don't get bored using that one frame alone.
New players should just play the game as intended and build a understanding of the game before wanting to become op. Honestly i just started on a new acc ab a year ago and i play on and off and atm im maining the valkyr loadout and i melt everything and almost never run out of energy and all it took was a little bit of digging and grinding and my damage output is insane when you understand the modding aspect of the game almost any warframe of your choosing becomes op and helminth helps when you have a crap ability you can get another same with arcanes i used to get carried in eidelon hunts just to get them and now i melt them and i guess all im trying to say is just grind or find guides when you need help or a second opinion for a build really helps and just playing and gaining a understanding of the frames and mods theres a bunch of ways to do damage and make your operator and frames and weapons stronger in my opinion archon shards, rivens, modstacking etc. I dont do alot of grinding but i do take the time to play and and enjoy it alot watching me go from a new player with nothing to one shooting level 100+ its a great felling love the guides btw KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Really nice video! I actually got diriga for free with playstation plus ages ago so I'll 100% use that build I started trying some steel path yesterday I wanna play lavos he's just awesome, just need his augment and I'm finished, I'm trying the mecha set on him with a vizier predasite Also, I'm trying to build yareli out of spite since my friend keeps saying she's the worst frame so I'm also trying to make her steel path viable, I actually like her kit and don't mind merulina, I just have an hard time hitting bigger crits since I don't have many arcanes and stuff
Thank you ❤️ And I'm happy that you even got Diriga for free ^^ Eish you much success with the builds 😉 About Yareli, I think Warframeflo has spent a lot of time with her lately. Maybe he has a vid on her. I'm not quite sure right now 🤔
Thanks for doing this! IMO, you're addressing one of the biggest issues with Warframe - mid-MR growth into Steel Path. All guidance for builds to *survive* Steel Path tend to rely on mods you can only get *from* Steel Path, or at least Arbitrations. Unguided "normal" play and modding will unlock those (and finish all missions) but not carry you through Arbitrations much less Steel Path (and the too-hard Earth). You could mooch until you get what you need, but that's no fun.
For any new players wondering if these “cheap builds that destroy” videos are actually real, or just clickbait to bring in new players: they are 100% real. One of the things that makes Warframe amazing is that you don’t need all of the highend/godroll gear/mods in order to do high level content. There are soooooo many easily farmable and cheap-to-purchase mods in game that will skyrocket your damage and survivability!
10:31 I suggest you use lesion with him. Lesion is not hard to build. Basically if you can build tipedo and have some resources for it, you are good to go. It's one of the most strongest melee in the game.No need for a special build also! But if you can invest on healing return it's definitely gonna be better with inaros and you don't have to add toxin to it's build, you can either make gas, viral, or corrosive but adding only one element. Since it combines it's toxin status with the element you with one you have you'll get combined elements. And almost every time your first hit gonna be your single element like fire, cold or electricity so you'll get extra proc for condition overload!
to be fair to you "normal players" dont exist, if you have steel path you are beyond a normal player now. the only reason imo people can complain is because of primed sure footed cause not many people have that even people with hundreds of hours. but really if you have steel path a large majority of the builds shouldnt be too out of reach for people. and if you dont have a primed version of a mod its not hard or much of a down grade to use the non prime version of the same mod. honestly i get the criticism some times but saying sp builds are too expensive for "normal players" is just an excuse for someone not putting in the time that others put in. anyway a "normal player" for warframe quits before the 2 hour mark and therefore wouldnt care.
This video is still missing the point. The point of Shironature's video was not to say "There's no builds for noobs". It's to say Warframe creators have a bad habit of debuting content with these advanced builds. You confuse new players into thinking these build are absolutely necessary. The reality is that you don't actually need to ever place a primed mod into a slot. You can get the point across for a build without suggesting the primed variant. Why are you recommending galvanized, nightmare, and augmented mods for noobs? This is ridiculous lol.
he said these builds r intended for the players who are ready to start steelpath aka full starchart completion, which also means you can farm arbitration for the galvanaized, adaptation, etc.... And at that point getting an augment shouldnt be much of a hassle. These arent noob builds they are just a step down from meta builds
Imagine unlocking Steel Path but you don't have galvanized, nightmare, augmented or corrupted mods That's ridiculous lol, that means you didn't play the game. The only thing you don't need for a build are primed mods (just use their standard variant), arcanes or shards (your build should work without them but these help a lot).
I don’t care about making end game content builds. I would say coming to KMFs channel as a new player I guess ur just suppose to know that he’s the “end game sweat” idc about his 5 umbral mods (though I will joke about it) all I did was joke about PSF on atlas who has it as a passive and his attitude of “no excuse get this 100 plat gun at mr13” im glad most ppl saw it as satire for thts what I was going for. TH-camrs like KMF saying “get this gun get this mod” also effects prices on the market and can make new players focus on nothing but trying to get said gun or mod and don’t just play and enjoy the game. I appreciate ur comment big papa Smurf ❤️
Because the builds are for steel path and galvanized mods are easy to obtain by that point as you’ve already finished the required missions anyway. Nightmare missions are even easier and augments are just faction progress
I mean nearly all of those builds from other content creators can work just fine without the primed version of the mods. But of course if they want to show things off they wont equip a worse mod than what they have lol.
Because it still gives the damage bonus. The mod does say "rifle damage" but it should say "primary damage". I've swapped out primarys and rifle amp, and I did less damage in all types when not using it. At least, that's how it used to be.
I have found that using Inaros with the skiajati (with the lifestrike mod) is really nice when you dont have any of the lesser seen mods, since using pocket sand can open the enemies up for finishers, allowing you to temporarily go invis, which helps when you're extra low on health and need to hide away and find a lone, easier enemie to heavy attack and get back some health. i did that for a good part of my first two steel path planets. (at least until i got my Lavos, whom i LOVE)
is there a guide for Open world? Everyone says clear star chart and do quests. When do I stop, to take care of the other "half" of the game? I still need to farm arcane enhancements and I need to get an amp. I feel very lost and confused. While this game has a lot of content, I feel I could be playing for years and never catch up.
Basically, you do what you want You can stop farming the starchart and do open world missions, and once you feel like it you can return to starchart, it will be there waiting for you
Just do whatever you feel like doing. I'm in for 5 years already. 2k hours and I'm still not even through the story quests. Pro tip: if it is hard to farm, check if it can be traded. Sometimes it is easier to farm platinum and buy it from other players rather farming all the parts yourself.
You don't really need an amp if you haven't completed the star chart, and the last few main quests, I wouldn't say arcanes are all that important unless you are actually min/maxing for "end game content", I solo capture the tridolons with basic trinity build and a 212 amp, you can capture a teralyst with anything, just max talons and void strike from madurai school, use operator's 1st ability before shooting to deplete shields, use some hard hitting primary weapon modded for radiation, and just get and charge the lures at last phase, you can rank up with the quills pretty quickly.
Just to be clear: This video is NOT meant to be a criticism of any fellow Creators. And I don't think that Shironature blaming Knightmare Frame for having too complex builds is thought through. After all, you can't blame the No1 Min-Maxer in the Community for using late game gear.
This video simply wants to supply you with the easy to access Steel Path builds that apparently many of you wish for So let's keep the discussion about that😉
Got it
I hold you dear in my heart blacky
Seen that video a while ago and it really made me mad to see all those people actually agreeing with it . I found it cringe that people were bashing on creators that create helpful guides . And the whole "IM POOR" is just a cop out . Every thing i have in my warframe game is farmed . Traded up for voidrig and extra slots for weps and warframes .
@@namingsway dont think it was meant to be that serious i think he was just being satire and making a joke i watched it thought it was funny but i still like kmf
@namingsway Then you need to chillout dude. Take a breather
Hello MHBlackey. I hope you don’t think I dislike all content creators. I actually been a fan of yours when I first started and your guides actually helped a new player like me. I like your positive attitude and I can tell you work very hard on your stuff. I def have my own silly takes on things but it’s all in good fun. I don’t mind end game builds they can be very useful! Thank you for including my video and would love to talk with you ❤
PS: thank you for not butchering my name 😊
YOOOO YOU SAW MY COMMENT
Big love for your content. Absolutely amazing guides that are genuinely achievable and overall amazing. Keep up the great videos brother
Haha yeah xD
Big love my dude ❤️
you know he is just normal human being
@@aly_abdelattybet he responded while pooping.

About the critique: KF is completely focused on making endgame content, on getting to level cap with as many outlandish builds as possible. Of course his builds are ridiculously complex, because his fanbase is people who are searching for some stupidity and fun in Warframe endgame.
If you want builds as efficient and effective as possible, please refer to GazTTV, he usually makes builds for farming and to get shit done.
Blacky here is a beginner focused channel, which is definitely something we definitely needed, since as nice and welcoming as the community is imho the game is insanely exhausting and time consuming to properly get into.
So yeah, good to see this vid, Blacky, tyvm.
A lot of content creators do try to suggest replacements, talk through choices and say when certain things are 'overkill'.
I personally don't watch Knightmareframe's stuff for a myriad of reasons, but I feel singling him and his builds out is disingenuous. He's an exception, not the rule.
@@Joe90h At the same time though he's also the most well known and relevant example, using anyone but him for the joke would have been nonsensical
I agree in a sense as most of the builds I find across all have helmiths, maxed arcanes, primed mods, crystals, etc., so they're a bit baity for newer players as most of them don't really come online until you have most of those things in place.
I'd like to see more of a tiered approach from the build makers with better transparency on what the minimum specs are for being reasonably playable and then delving deeper into min max. It'd also be helpful for more "focus on getting these items first" than just showing your full setup.
A lot of the items in these builds can cost a ton of plat or highly intensive grind so knowing what's a required item vs nice to have would be helpful.
As a late game player this is a good guide for intermediate level players. Nice work!
Thank you ❤️
I feel that you have included "budget builds" in most of your videos. They are probably not aware of your amazing content. I have never seen that problem of only using out of reach mods. You always state clearly that you are aware of where players are and make so many recommendations. Thank you for the great content.❤
Aaaaw thank you so much for your awesome compliment
First of all - totally agree. Current content creators create vids that show off crazy builds that require a crazy amount of resources and guess what ... it requires to have an account with a crazy amount of hours behind it. And to be honest ... If I had this kinda account - I wouldn't care about their videos because I already know everything they are showing us. So... who are they creating them for? Not us - regular casual players.
Also... recently a LOT of old players came back into WF after cross save got introduced. And I (like other ppl) am kinda lost where do we begin since it's been almost 6 years since I had an opportunity to play this game.
They need to start showing 2 versions of builds then ... builds for casual players that are reasonably easy to achieve and builds for try-hards who put 3k+ hours into the game and never took a break.
The worst part about the later game content is that noone at that point in the game should even need those videos. Being able to construct your own builds is something 99% of players will learn by the time they have enough plat to get a max rank Energize. It very much feels like bait for new players at some points, trying to farm views and interactions even with the knowledge they will not be able to complete the build before they forget the video even exists. Examples being creators like Knightmare Frame who, while having noted his builds are for level cap content, makes next to no effort to ensure new players do not try and mimic him. He knows new players flock to his videos because of the big numbers, and makes no effort to provide the necessary context on how viable the build is for anything BUT level cap.
Even just some context on these videos on what they are and arent good at would work wonders.
Absolutely unreal timing of this video. I was literally about to watch one of your older videos on how to survive SP then this was the first video that popped up upon loading TH-cam. How wonderful
I wish more Warframe TH-camrs would make budget build videos. Realistically, your average player isn’t gonna have anywhere near most of these. Especially with all the new players starting recently they could use more of these vids. Thank you for this bud!!
Thank god, I was getting frustrated and unmotivated to look up any content guides because as soon as I see arcane or primes I’m just checked out. I’m not there yet
OMG!
Thanks! I've been trying to build some Warframes for weeks (Not for Steel Path but just in general to progress in the game) but all the guides that I find are ridiculous, requiring mods, arcane, crystals and many other things which are only available in the End Game and with a very low drop probability.
You can't understand what a relief this video is.
You're definitely a refreshing sight for a returning player (haven't played in 3 or 4 years, just pre cambion drift) who never got any arcanes and only had a half decent Soma Prime and Nidus to his name haha - it's so refreshing to be shown paths into endgame that aren't full of "just play for 900 days for this build" or "it's only 1200 plat bro". Keep up the sick work through 2024 bud i'll keep watching.
I’m just coming back after years away. I have a lot to catch up on this so going to help a lot. Glad I found you
yeah wisp has a "Well rounded" kit, I agree whole heartedly on that.
THIS we need more videos like this! I got back into the game and seeing every build having such steep requirements makes the grind feel like crap.
Happy that you liked the vid 😉
I'll try to showcase more budget friendly builds in the future aswell 😉
The worst part is, all of these builds include incredibly rare and near-unobtainable mods on top of having several formas and arcanes. I love warframe, I really do. I'm especially excited to keep playing after I just got my age-old console account back on my PC, as many other people just have with cross save. But here I am, grinding to endgame builds, meanwhile I'm still actively doing older quests that are required for the new content. Can't blame the folks who just bought a necramech instead of trying to farm that junk. My damage felt so iffy when back in the day my soma prime was able to shred, now it struggles to take down some lvl 50 world enemies.
The only thing that stops me from buying the necramech is my pride in not buying anything else in the game (meaning railjack, helmith, etc.). But the temptation is real. Don't get me wrong i have nearly 2k plat in my account for I don't have a problem to throw some money on the game every once in a while. But i consider the necramech farm a thing of personal goal.
@@cwaldacwaldovic4572 fair enough. I'm, still waiting to be able to do any endgame content until my necramech finishes cooking for 2 more days. Not to mention half the builds I see require Umbra Formas+ access to steel path.
Skill issue
@---Kyle--- You're under every comment saying skill issue. Sounds like you have a chromosome issue, grow up buddy.
@@TheFellHeart Chromosome issue 🤣 do you even know what Chromosomes are? Clearly not because if you did you'd realise that makes no sense whatsoever Lmao! A+ for effort though, at least you made me chuckle
PS: Skill issue 😉
PSA once you feel the slightest amount of confidence in any of your builds, go STRAIGHT to steel path circuit. Incarnon weapons are currently amazing and some are definitely upgrades to weapons.
Yep, a lot of experience and loot to gain there :D
i mostly watched kmf before, well i still now but not that much anymore until you pop out to this community and start building guides for beginners is really good to us, even i started warframe since 2018 my account still not able to qualify in steel path and there's still "main missions" i dont want to active
i finished all my quest and this is the first time getting close to maxing my builds
i also have 254 hours on warframe
Amazing! Congratz to your progress! :D
returning player with realistic build guides instant like and sub lets go
Just what it was missing on youtube, get my sub dear sir !
- A fellow Exc Prime veteran coming back !
+1 on the Convectrix recommendation.
Also, no; Harrow's 4 is additive crit, a.k.a. absolute value.
"The critical chance applied to the weapons is a flat value applied after mods. " (From wiki)
Finally, a build for the common man
I have a video suggestion, how about showing 2 complete loadout for steelpath/late game, one being the optimized expansive one and one being the budget decent one, with some gameplay advice (frame, weapons and stuff with some more detailed explanations) ? Whatever, I love you videos and you helped a ton so thanks a lot !
What a lot of Veterans forget is the struggle of a new player there are so many things locked behind artificial daily timers (or 3 day timers) the criticism of the video you referenced was most likely in relation to that and not "budget" builds a lot of things you NEED are locked behind syndicate/reputation which is limited daily especially if you are new there are so many blueprints locked behind not only rank up for reputation but also cost reputation to purchase. Long story short as a semi new player resources arent the issue for me what is the issue is that even if i can play 16 hours a day it doesnt matter because the timers hard stop me from progressing not the resources.
I understand where you’re coming from.
But this is a video about doing steel path. This isn’t really for “new” players.
You want something to do while your warframe is cooking in the foundry tho? Go after prime parts using the relic system. Even if you don’t manage to build full sets, you can always trade with barrow on the weekend to get better mods.
Why not collect and build all the star chart frames while you’re at it? There’s a lot to do while your foundry is cooking
All the syndicate mods you will ever need can be traded, with the exception of things like the helminth segment. Even if there is things you need that are locked behind a daily limit, its always good to split your goals into other areas and do a little bit of everything, and trust me there is no way you can fit all of that into one day of playing
@@tigiexethis part is so important. Don’t spend all your time in one place. Move around.
Taking breaks from playing is also a huge help. You won’t burn out as fast if you take regular breaks.
Absolutely incredible video. I’m mr17 so I don’t have all the crazy stuff of min-maxing so your videos are always awesome. You show a variety of different builds that everyone can use. Thank you so much and keep up the good work👍👍
As a returning player of over 5 years, I was pretty psyched to see that almost every build video from Brozime has end game builds but also absolute 'poverty builds' that even i could put together. Its shocking to me than in 2023 there are any creators not bothering to put together a 0-2 forma build for new players
Welcome back to the Origin System then ;)
Hope these builds could help you a bit ;) I know they have tons of Forma but that's just because my Frames simply happen to have that many Forma applied. To recreate the builds in this vid you don' need all of them ;)
@@ioritenshi how can you say only octavia when nezha is right there?
I just got access to Steel Path last night (and Arbitrations, ofc) and was curious how to build for it. I play a lot of Wukong when I want to make things easy so seeing this video is aces. Thanks
First step is not to look at your build, but to practice survivability through being mobile. Enemies literally lower their weapon accuracy the faster the player moves.
Then, once you are confident in mobility, build your abilities to their strengths. Wanna build Wisp for good motes? Build strength. Wanna build a Zephyr that can bunch up a room of enemies? Build range. So on.
Then look at your weapons and make sure they are built right. For that, you need to remember the categories of damage multipliers.
Base damage (Serration, Hornet Strike)
Faction Damage (Bane, Smite)
Elemental damage (Toxin, Heat, Cold, Electricity)
Multishot
Crit chance and damage.
You need to be investing in each of these EQUALLY. Do not go all in on base damage or elemental, cos otherwise you will get less damage than if you invest equally. Also dont forget to take advantage of status effects like bleed and Viral, as they can increase your damage drastically.
nice material. more videos like this. I'm not in a clan and when I want to build something on Path of Steel (in my case, Revenant, Hildryn, Nataruk, Code ,Trumna), I see Mods that I can't get solo. Regards
Glad you liked it ^^
I have planned another part of this plus a solo player guide soon 😉
i ended up on Nezha for early SP grind/getting my galvanized mods & acolyte arcanes, either nataruk or amprex depending on the content, picked up panzer vulpa & finished off my helminth to subsume roar, made things pretty easy & was able to grind relics for other frames/weapons quickly. Unfortunately word of mouth & personaly trial and error were the only way i really settled on that lol, youtube really didn't help me out much. Which is as much an algorithm issue as it is a content creators issue, the "mid game" phase isn't exactly a popular topic to cover.
Build a full crit sporelacer for nezha and that setup will be a nuker without ammo restrictions. Also subsumes that work good is mirage for around 500% extra damage and makes nezha the best early and mid game eidolon hunter. Also terrify from nekros for full armor strip of steel path enemies.
as a returning founder that has not played in multiple years this is a huge help as so many new systems and charges has made most of my knowledge useless
Yup, i came back, more new systems that need exhaust grinding, is not fun
Gr8 guide as always. Steel path isn't as scary once you start clearing all the nodes on the star chart with any of the builds mentioned. keep up the gr8 work MHB
I also find that Nidus can work really well, He can regenerate health which gives bonus survivability, and his third ability which gives damage reduction. and as you hit things with your abilities they get stronger, i dont think there is a cap and i have gotten to the point were i could one shot eximus in non steel path.
Yeah nidus and hildryn with blazing pillage are my go to frames for survival or defense. Hildryn works great up to around lvl 60 or 70 enemies but nidus can go way past that due to his abilities just multiplying every time you suck em up then kill em. He's kinda slept on too. I dont see many people play him
This is why I love your vids, you always give 2-3 build, OP, Budget and new player friendly. I've only been playing this game for 65 days now(760 hours MR17) and wouldn't even remotely be enjoying it as a am now if not for your amazing vids. Keep up the great work.
what i did was ignore steel path and went to grind for galvanized mods and farmed duviri for incarnon weapons, now entry steel path is a joke
gonna try this out
You need to do steel path Duviri before you get Incarnons, and in order to do steel path Duviri, you need to do steel path start chart, no?
@@wontol nope
xoris
Wisp DOES NOT need any range at all! If you want big range wozäth your breach surge just teleport into one of your reservoir by looking at it and pressing 3. On top of that your will-o-wisp clone will also cast breach surge when you use it. So you really don't need range at all! Go for better buffs by going for more strength
Great video - I’m newish and this is finally something I can understand
....Harrow's covenant does NOT apply crit chance by multiplying the base crit chance of weapons. It adds FLAT crit chance so a weapon with 10% crit chance prior to Covenant's buff will have 60% crit chance afterwards, so you do NOT require a weapon with a good base crit chance to get a lot out of Covenant.
I've recently gotten back into warframe and this helps SO much. Love your content, keep up the good work.
Blacky i am a returning vet FOUNDER and man your guides helped me get back in the swing of things cus i missed ALOT man its been a journey finding snd seeing shit and going dfauq is that dafuq are those what the fk is a arcon.... arcanes are candy now ??? Bruh. But yeah the blast on other warframe content creators is well deserved they recommend prime surefooted swear by it .... dude thats 700 days logged wtf u cant just do that . And one guys voruna build how ever op easy to play and absolutely destroys SP SHE STILL REQUIRES 7 FORMA .... 7 WTF man ( yeah 7 forma isnt any thing to majority of us nor me ) but man saying hey guys ( cus whos looking up warframe build vids ) not vets!!!! try this frame out ( that has a crazy long but easy grind ) and level it up 7 times to make this build and press 1 button to delete things 😂
Not 700, iirc it's 400, but that's still over a year
this video is exactly what i was working on for a video xd that being said i honestly think you tackled this better than i did great job MHBlacky!
Hi, Inaros main here. As someone who has 1st hand experience on using this frame from early to late game set-ups, I have to set expectations that Inaros with Non primed mods alone may not handle steel path beyond earth. I have taxied many friends to steel path(when it was still allowed). Some who tried the Inaros method as well, did poorly even with umbra mods. My two cents for this, if I were to recommend non- primed mods for newbies. A value of 800 armor and up along with adaptation is needed to clear survivals or other horde clearing missions. As well as some form of Passive healing mechanism, relying on Inaros's skill for healing is very bad. My recommendation for a cheap build would be getting the Umbra mods maxed out at least vitality and fiber, having intensity unranked from simaris is also preferred, as well as the carapace mods from Deimos at the least 2 of them to reach the 800-900 armor value, if you can't get a adaptation(Though you'd unlock arbitrations way before steel path) you can try Shock absorbers but you might want to go beyond 900 armor to compensate. For healing Inaros, the cheapest option I can recommend is a Life Stike heavy Attack build for your melee. A even better healing mechanic would be subsuming Sevagoth to the Helminth to get gloom on Inaros along with the rage or hunter adrenalin mod would set you to conquer most of steel path , IMHO worth the investment in grinding. Other healing methods of course invovle Arcanes, Though Arcane grace at least 2-3 rank would suffice. A cheaper alternative would be Arcane victory which healing is trigger by a head shot kill, not as reliable but as Inaros you'd get plenty of opportunities to proc it as you won't go down immediately with 800-900 armor, even melee headshot kills trigger it so you can invest in a melee weapon that hits high or does a strike downwards. Overall I am sorry if some of these seem hard to find, Steel path isn't really a newbie friendly thing. It is expected that by the time you get to steel path your gear could effortlessly melt Sortie level Opponents. I hope my recommendations would help you better understand the art of HP tanking.
Corrosive Projection, Gladiator Finesse + Resolve + Aegis, Adaptation, Hunter Adrenaline, Vitality, Steel Fiber. You have a free slot for whatever you want and an Exilus for whatever you want.
You can also use literally any arcanes you want, but Trickery is good for turning invisible here or there randomly.
Finally Subsume Gloom onto him.
Obviously you should also be using Tennokai at this point, you're a lunatic if you aren't.
If you want use a primer secondary to help you melee damage out, but just holding melee down is enough.
He won't get you through defense missions or the strange missions like defect, but he will let you just fall asleep at your keyboard for survival and allow you to do most everything else effortlessly, just walking around with hundreds of bullets hitting him while you just RP walk through the level not fighting back.
That's all. Just put those on, put a good melee on and then hold the melee button and you win until around enemy level 250-300 on Steel Path, at that point you might need to play the game. Just Pocket Sand stuff and you still do increased melee damage to them and they don't fight back. You also should have scarab Armor active but it isn't super needed. If you're ever in trouble grab a boy with 2 and suck'em to heal and be immune to damage and/or begin spamming finishers on blind enemies.
There is something that i haven't heard anyone talk about with wisp, her 2 synergizes with her passive. When her 2 is flying out it'll activate her passive even if she's on the floor.
If someone is watching this in mid 2024 or later, notice that Inaros is way better now for steelpath, specialy on grineer faction missions, in this channel is a more updated guide about that warframe that maybe turns you into an inaros main, hes a beast
you gave me courage to start steelpath with my early game-mid game stuff. Thanks and keep it up!
To be fair, nowadays it's much easier and comfortable to build your gear, especially with the blessing system.
Zariman arcanes should be allowed, considering how easy it is to level the syndicate and the arcanea themselves.
I must also add that when reaching Steel Path, one should learn how to build, how damage is calculated, how to remove armor and to have one survival tool.
Unlocking Steel Path doesn't mean you can beat it-it's not THAT hard, but to beat it you have to know what you're doing.
im beginning SP and my go to is yareli with nezhas firewalker because i found out that fire walker works on a K drive. i just set up firewalker, merulina, aqua blades then skateboard around spamming sea snares until a big threat comes up, then i dismount and recast fire walker with the pyroclastic flow augment basically oneshotting most threats. most fun ive ever had in this game.
Id love to see a new vid on this with all the damage and armor changes.
I can absolutly recommend Xoris. It shredds EVERYTHING with extremly little investment. And its a quest weapon! While I use a (somewhat expensive) arcane on it (Melee Influence) its only rank 1 so far (I have 120 hours in the game and all of it fair and square with no money investment, the only platinum I got so far was from a lucky riven mod which sold for 300 plat).
Can you show you percentages for power strength, efficiency, et cetera. Make it easier to try and adjust the build if we know what percentages we're shooting for
hey blacky did you know that you can farm standing on cetus very fast when you capture the wildlife? its much faster than fishing imo
Back when this was released, I in fact did not xD
Honestly in the game. The only thing i really need to get going is railjack and my operator. My operator doesnt really do damage and i need to fix that but the only way i know involved eldions which is not something i wanna do. And i dont understand railjack at all. I will say that moding i dont understand but its probably because i dont have anyone to help guide me step by step but i am trying to learn and the videos help alot.
no, its bound to focus schools. you need eidolons to unlock what is called "waybound" skills, which once turned on - will never be turned off regardless what school you use. they´re the permanent buffs. shit like far superior energy pool AND regen, far greater slinging distance and so on.
what comes rj, just start joining on random runs RJ side. should stack you up with enough to build upgrades with. get crew from ticker in fortuna and so on. also stacks on intrisics that do help.
what comes to modding, consider modpower "fuel". you get 60 units of that .. "fuel". but if you use a "Forma" (crack relics) to change a polarity to match a mod you have that has a high mod energy requirement, then that requirement is seriously reduced. with 2 to 6 forma, you can start building some real real shit with the good shit you got.
@@somberlight alrighty, alot of the eidolons amps though are locked behind killing them like 123. I am only rank 2 with him right now and I dont understand what to do for ducky yet. So I dont believe my amps are really any good for eidolons rn. If I remember my amp is a 211 rn. I want to be able to unlock these parts so thanks for the tips and tricks. I'll join other for railjack for now and do you have any ideas on helping to improve my ranking up for the amp vendors?
If you are looking for a Railjack teammate, I have a maxed out RJ you can burrow.
Very cool video im trying to get a buddy back into warframe and this is perfect for looking for builds he can go for
Finally a video where i could build a frame without having stuff that i don't have yet
Happy you found it helpful ^^
Skill issue
@MHBlacky_ENG thanks it's seems I don't need all of the extra stuff for steel path 😅
@@chrisozorio2487 Skill issue
That might be true, but it's just as likely that they have a life, you know, a job, kids, responsibilities etc, not everyone has time to play games all day to "gitgud", some of us barely have time to play for 1 or 2 hours, maybe 3 - 4 on a weekend. @@---Kyle---
Idk but bro was the one who gave me the motivation and hype to speedrun get Gauss prime when just start the game this week😄
An entire series of “good enough” builds would be great for casuals like myself
I'll make sure to bring more in the future ;)
Citrine is so dope and so good. Definitely the most underrated
Agreed. She is awesome especially on low investment ;)
To be fair, it does kinda get lost on vets about how much access to things we have simply by playing the game for so long that newer players just don't have the privilege to without money (ex: resources, out of cycle primes, slots for frames and weapons, etc)
Friends who don't play warframe frequently often quickly just put the game down because of even MR getting in the way of using weapons.
Yeah I kinda feel that. But it's always a problem that if your friend has 1k+h in the game and you're just starting then it's gonna frustrate you that you have so much ahead of you until you're there.
I feel like joining a veteran friend is the safest way for butnout :/
@@MHBlacky_ENG My general advice is to be patient and just coast through, but not everyone can get into that mindset. I guess the reason why DE is fond of charging for convenience.
9:15 Update for Inaros, just fill mods with health and armor with that [Hunter Adrenaline] and you're set, 😂 throw in overextended for fun CCing
Good response. Theres a lot of new players lately that cant really access the builds that most content creators use.
The gap in midgame build advice is a bit concerning lol.
6:40 Well ROUNDED kit, I couldn't agree more 🗿
One thing I think you forgot to include was builds for exalted weapons (at least in the case of the wukong build, haven't yet watched the rest of the video.
As always a wonderful video! ❤️
Junge was machst du hier? :P
@@MHBlacky_ENG Aus liebe Supporten so wie bei jedem Video :D
Been playing for just over a month, daily logins normal sessions nothing crazy, I have umbra, some solid prime mods and 2 prime frames, a lot of good mods in general and helminth/subsume. Warframes only downside is taking the initiative to google n wiki stuff to learn where and how to get/do things. But it’s not impossible
You're gonna make it far in the game ;)
As a returning player, this is great! Would love similar builds for some of the OG frames like Mesa/Saryn/Rhino/etc
I took a break and all the OG frames are like forgotten, feels super weird
@@joelhodoborgas Mesa, Saryn and Rhino are still insanely high usage. Noone talks about them because they just havent left their place in the game. Or changed.
Just one thing, you need to mention where and how to get some of the rarer mid game Mods man,
things like Adaptation, weeping wounds, Transient Fortitude, Narrow Minded, Primal rage and All the Augment Mods
Google
@sevensaske yea, I know that, u can also find the places in game by searching the Mod,
but if it's In the Same video, it's better
And I've seen that in Some other video as well
@sevensaske ... you realize Google will most of the time give you videos as the answer right?
@@Sticiboi ... you realize your mouse has a scroll wheel?
Inaros is best with a tank build (Adaptation etc) , nikana zaw and daikyu with mod on. Daikyu can be built to be a monstrous ST or small AoE dmg dealer. Nikana Zaw can be fit with Nuke (can also do a Proton Snap and Melee Duplicate to Proc Gas or scaling Toxin dmg with the nuke). Put on Hunter Adrenaline and subsume a good ability to spam, can be Terrify with Creeping Terrify, can be Eclipse or Roar in fourth slot with Precision Intensify, can be many weird things that are also fun.
subing since you made a noob friendly build video and ngl seeing all these build guides stuff that seem impossible to get kinda got annoying ty
Yeah I love all your guide videos but this is the only guide I can actually use.
Happy you like my content so much
Also Friendly PSA:
More attention span of the player = More gameplay and submersion in Warframe for the player.
Long time player here. The number one greivence i've seen is players simply not committing to the game. It could be with building loadouts, quests, steel-path, or any number of the million avenues D.E has put into this game.
My advice, set goals and check them off! See a build on youtube and go get it!
Feels amazing when you find something that works for you! Be creative! :)
I do my archon hunts and am collecting my duviri incarnons. Yet I still tapped this video
TBF his video is very funny its pretty satirical got a few chuckles out of me so I dont think hes done it to be hyper critical of content creators
I didn't know inaros was hated. I love that man and his anubis look
I'll be using either revenant prime or rhino. maybe Even Trinity with the phantasma as the main weapon and the broken war or war as the melee weapon
Thats fair, the phantasma is the most fun gun Ive ever used maybe Corinth too
Sounds like a good setup ^^
Definitely earned my subscribe after this. Do you know of a viability, budget build guide, and ranking of the warframes in-game, but in a format like this? Especially the starter and older frames.
Seems everyone gets riled up over builds huh, sure hope no one asks for mine...
Is that the famous nova umbral?!
Man, I got an Umbra Forma on Inaros.... Don't get me started xD
you know peoples do what you say then to not do right?
thank you for the video, Blacky.
but i like the videos you usually do.
And would like to see also, as always, videos for builds(correct builds, not cheap) for every warframe, companion, and weapons, and the rest of things. Giving its right time.
you are doing it right. Please don't fall for that crap, that criticism that you see.
Something that i leaned about warframe, it is that you have to know that TIME is the key, to take things slow and ONE AT THE TIME, in this game. Because if not, you can feel like it is blastin you with so much things to do, at the time.
I have been working and earned a full set of incarnon weapons in the last week, and it was a huge help to level me off with level 80-90 enemies. I was getting them set up with 2.5 multi, 70% crit, fat doughy numbers, but something still felt a bit off. I watched the vid about rigging your numbers and focusing on the effect of status instead of the dmg type and matching it to enemies.
Feels good man. The problem is needing like 5 loadouts on one gun because there are so many enemies, and usually more than one type in a tile set. If you are running heat/viral, or corrosive/heat or whatever and you are focusing on the effects and not the dmg bonuses its easier to build your entire loadout around a theme and less stressful, and less likely, that you wind up on a map with the 'wrong' weapons.
Ive been having a great time these last two days. Going all the way up to the edge of steelpath, and finally able to ready myself for it.
Keep in mind that the base incarnon guns (Phenmor, Laetum and Felarx) all have an evolution giving them a 50% chance for 2000% damage on non crits. That ups your numbers even more :))
@@raxy3734 Dude, i forgot to change to that when im using a status build. . . . DAMNIT!!
YEAH FINALLY I FOUND A STEEL PATH BUILD FOR MY BOY WUKONG
Haha wish you a lot of fun 😉
I honestly think that seeing those build and then farming to get those builds is pretty fun.
Video itself is really good, but i have one complain, khora in helminth is quite hard due to her farm most people having trouble with prime mods wont have khora farmed from SO, the rest i great!
Good thing her skill isn't the only grouping skill the Helmeth has
she's in Week 11 for the Normal Circuit. that's how i bypassed the Garuda and Saryn grinds.
@@vincentdedios3169 yea, circiut helps but you understand, rotations can take a long time
Thank you! Happy you liked it ^^ Snd yeah, Khora might be a bit uncomfortable to farm. One could use Mag's Pull as a substitute in that case bc farming Nidus for Larva is even more of a pain than Khora xD
Great tip :D
After doing what i needed to acquire TWO copies of Kullervo i can definitely say it's a farm for end game and you will want to have a resource booster and do solo if possible because there are three stupid plants you need to farm, two of which you get 1 of per objective (which is pitiful) and should never be farmed via objectives as they are available in larger quantity in specific locations, and you must do the Kullervo objective which can be done as a group easily.
Khora is arguably better than Wisp but can only be acquired via RNG through Santuary Onslaught (not elite) and you need ten kavat genetic codes (can be easily acquired doing vaults solo with Synoid Heliocor or Heliocor or with someone who has a kavat using [insert name of kavat mod here]). Easy but time consuming to acquire the parts, however, getting the Kat Kodes can be easy or hard to do. What i mean by "Khora is arguably better" is with Venka as your melee weapon and equipping it with all three gladiator mods along with every "combo duration" mod and using [insert bond mod name here] along with her augment mod Accumulating Whipclaw she does fairly well. Just be sure to use the full compliment of Gladiator mods! She's even better with Ceramic Dagger Incarnon!
i would recommend using Voruna's ability with Khora, Wukong, and Valkyr. Voruna is also time consuming to acquire but easier to get than Khora is. Also i'd rather just make use of Wisp's fourth ability as a DPS ability regardless how far from the sun it is.
i'm continually amazed that Loki (disarm sucks), ivara, Saryn, Kullervo, Mag, Volt, Voruna, Gauss, Hildryn, nor Equinox ever seems to be on any of these lists.
Inaros is interesting because you can slap the Gladiator mods on him and your melee weapon is "viable" or use Hunter mods on him and then your primary weapon is "viable." And you never have to really worry about survivability beyond that.
i would not use any of Harrow's augment mods, i'd just use more duration even if it was just Auger Message. i'm still not sure about this pick and how somehow using Grendal's ability instead of Thurable is better but that's a whole can of worms for new players.
Everytime i return to Protea she reminds me of how i could be using a better warframe, i don't understand why players enjoy playing her. She dies way too much for me and she goes down when she runs out of energy which i know doesn't make sense because you literally can "rewind" into a nullifier or Void Cascades grineer's fancy new "anti warframe" bubble spear.
i honestly just need stronger weapons or mods. or maybe im building my stuff incorrectly. because my damage falls off at around enemy levels 160+
Alot of damage falls off around there. Its at that point you really wanna start honing in on things like Slash or Viral. Get a primer, mod it for Viral Heat to cause massive vulnerability, then make a weapon with big Slash to bleed them to death. Or against Corpus, literally just Toxin.
I took screenshots of these builds, and I'm going to give them a shot. I guess if this still doesn't work I might just need to get better, lol.
If it's just one Mod or a bit of Endo that's missing, you can try them out anyway 😉
Wish you a lot of fun and success ^^
Honestly i feel as though there should be more in depth guides for steel path. Especially clearer explanation and what to exactly do
1. Get Kullervo
2. Build for power strength and survivability (health and adaptation)
3. Get literally any melee weapon
4. Build it for heavy attack speed, efficiency, and damage
5. Load up a steel path mission
6. Find a group of enemies
7. Press 3
8. Press 1
9. Watch everything on your screen turn into a red mist
You can now successfully complete any steel path mission in the game.
Steel Path is really just "harder content" with acolyte spawns which gives you arcanes and Steel Essence. Arguably, the only mission i've found that matters to play SP mode is Void Cascade. Otherwise, you could just not even touch SP if you didn't want to.
@@xXstabtolifeXx Kullervo brainrot, almost as bad as OG Saryn nukers
Intro of this video alone tells me one thing people also do not realize is that, Younger and Newer Tenno players are so intimidated with maxed out arcanes and primed mods and the way Build Videos on youtube are presented makes it sound like "This build cannot work if it isn't setup specifically this way", which are not always the case. At times, lesser effectiveness for cheaper setup is already more than enough for that Newer Tenno to start farming endgame gears.
Not to mention when it comes to veteran and regular tenno that always play hard gatekeeps builds like "OH NAH YOU SHOULD USE THIS BECAUSE REASONS" which is honestly so toxic or that "YOU SHOULD THIS FRAME BECAUSE ITS BETTER THAN THAT FRAME".
And for all newer tenno out there trying to learn how to build a frame, one thing I can tell you is that yes, it always helps watching such build videos but you shouldn't follow them to the letter unless you want to or can afford to do so. Understand the frame you're using, understand their abilities, understand the setup you want to go for and understand the purpose of your frame. There are only a few frames that can quote-on-quote "do it all" in the game. However, I believe that more purpose-built frames are more enjoyable for any Tenno as they don't get bored using that one frame alone.
New players should just play the game as intended and build a understanding of the game before wanting to become op. Honestly i just started on a new acc ab a year ago and i play on and off and atm im maining the valkyr loadout and i melt everything and almost never run out of energy and all it took was a little bit of digging and grinding and my damage output is insane when you understand the modding aspect of the game almost any warframe of your choosing becomes op and helminth helps when you have a crap ability you can get another same with arcanes i used to get carried in eidelon hunts just to get them and now i melt them and i guess all im trying to say is just grind or find guides when you need help or a second opinion for a build really helps and just playing and gaining a understanding of the frames and mods theres a bunch of ways to do damage and make your operator and frames and weapons stronger in my opinion archon shards, rivens, modstacking etc. I dont do alot of grinding but i do take the time to play and and enjoy it alot watching me go from a new player with nothing to one shooting level 100+ its a great felling love the guides btw KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Really nice video!
I actually got diriga for free with playstation plus ages ago so I'll 100% use that build
I started trying some steel path yesterday
I wanna play lavos he's just awesome, just need his augment and I'm finished, I'm trying the mecha set on him with a vizier predasite
Also, I'm trying to build yareli out of spite since my friend keeps saying she's the worst frame so I'm also trying to make her steel path viable, I actually like her kit and don't mind merulina, I just have an hard time hitting bigger crits since I don't have many arcanes and stuff
Thank you ❤️
And I'm happy that you even got Diriga for free ^^
Eish you much success with the builds 😉
About Yareli, I think Warframeflo has spent a lot of time with her lately. Maybe he has a vid on her. I'm not quite sure right now 🤔
arn't nullifiers a problem for this valkyr build?
Totally. I wouldn't use her against Corpus ;)
Thanks for doing this! IMO, you're addressing one of the biggest issues with Warframe - mid-MR growth into Steel Path. All guidance for builds to *survive* Steel Path tend to rely on mods you can only get *from* Steel Path, or at least Arbitrations. Unguided "normal" play and modding will unlock those (and finish all missions) but not carry you through Arbitrations much less Steel Path (and the too-hard Earth). You could mooch until you get what you need, but that's no fun.
For any new players wondering if these “cheap builds that destroy” videos are actually real, or just clickbait to bring in new players: they are 100% real. One of the things that makes Warframe amazing is that you don’t need all of the highend/godroll gear/mods in order to do high level content. There are soooooo many easily farmable and cheap-to-purchase mods in game that will skyrocket your damage and survivability!
10:31 I suggest you use lesion with him. Lesion is not hard to build. Basically if you can build tipedo and have some resources for it, you are good to go. It's one of the most strongest melee in the game.No need for a special build also! But if you can invest on healing return it's definitely gonna be better with inaros and you don't have to add toxin to it's build, you can either make gas, viral, or corrosive but adding only one element. Since it combines it's toxin status with the element you with one you have you'll get combined elements. And almost every time your first hit gonna be your single element like fire, cold or electricity so you'll get extra proc for condition overload!
to be fair to you "normal players" dont exist, if you have steel path you are beyond a normal player now.
the only reason imo people can complain is because of primed sure footed cause not many people have that even people with hundreds of hours. but really if you have steel path a large majority of the builds shouldnt be too out of reach for people.
and if you dont have a primed version of a mod its not hard or much of a down grade to use the non prime version of the same mod.
honestly i get the criticism some times but saying sp builds are too expensive for "normal players" is just an excuse for someone not putting in the time that others put in.
anyway a "normal player" for warframe quits before the 2 hour mark and therefore wouldnt care.
I will say one of the good thing about their build videos is, as a new player it lets me learn more about the games modding system and how it works.
This video is still missing the point. The point of Shironature's video was not to say "There's no builds for noobs". It's to say Warframe creators have a bad habit of debuting content with these advanced builds. You confuse new players into thinking these build are absolutely necessary. The reality is that you don't actually need to ever place a primed mod into a slot. You can get the point across for a build without suggesting the primed variant. Why are you recommending galvanized, nightmare, and augmented mods for noobs? This is ridiculous lol.
he said these builds r intended for the players who are ready to start steelpath aka full starchart completion, which also means you can farm arbitration for the galvanaized, adaptation, etc.... And at that point getting an augment shouldnt be much of a hassle. These arent noob builds they are just a step down from meta builds
Do you think noobs are gonna do steel path? Arbitration and nightmare mods are the most easily accessible things to get for normal players😂
Imagine unlocking Steel Path but you don't have galvanized, nightmare, augmented or corrupted mods That's ridiculous lol, that means you didn't play the game. The only thing you don't need for a build are primed mods (just use their standard variant), arcanes or shards (your build should work without them but these help a lot).
I don’t care about making end game content builds. I would say coming to KMFs channel as a new player I guess ur just suppose to know that he’s the “end game sweat” idc about his 5 umbral mods (though I will joke about it) all I did was joke about PSF on atlas who has it as a passive and his attitude of “no excuse get this 100 plat gun at mr13” im glad most ppl saw it as satire for thts what I was going for. TH-camrs like KMF saying “get this gun get this mod” also effects prices on the market and can make new players focus on nothing but trying to get said gun or mod and don’t just play and enjoy the game. I appreciate ur comment big papa Smurf ❤️
Because the builds are for steel path and galvanized mods are easy to obtain by that point as you’ve already finished the required missions anyway. Nightmare missions are even easier and augments are just faction progress
I love seeing the Hound getting so much love. It's highly underrated.
I think they're simply underused because they're locked behind the Sisters ;)
I mean nearly all of those builds from other content creators can work just fine without the primed version of the mods.
But of course if they want to show things off they wont equip a worse mod than what they have lol.
hey i wanted to ask why you use rifle amp on revenant when you using the phantasma weapon?
Because it still gives the damage bonus. The mod does say "rifle damage" but it should say "primary damage". I've swapped out primarys and rifle amp, and I did less damage in all types when not using it. At least, that's how it used to be.
I have found that using Inaros with the skiajati (with the lifestrike mod) is really nice when you dont have any of the lesser seen mods, since using pocket sand can open the enemies up for finishers, allowing you to temporarily go invis, which helps when you're extra low on health and need to hide away and find a lone, easier enemie to heavy attack and get back some health. i did that for a good part of my first two steel path planets. (at least until i got my Lavos, whom i LOVE)
is there a guide for Open world? Everyone says clear star chart and do quests. When do I stop, to take care of the other "half" of the game? I still need to farm arcane enhancements and I need to get an amp. I feel very lost and confused. While this game has a lot of content, I feel I could be playing for years and never catch up.
Basically, you do what you want
You can stop farming the starchart and do open world missions, and once you feel like it you can return to starchart, it will be there waiting for you
Just do whatever you feel like doing. I'm in for 5 years already. 2k hours and I'm still not even through the story quests.
Pro tip: if it is hard to farm, check if it can be traded. Sometimes it is easier to farm platinum and buy it from other players rather farming all the parts yourself.
You don't really need an amp if you haven't completed the star chart, and the last few main quests, I wouldn't say arcanes are all that important unless you are actually min/maxing for "end game content", I solo capture the tridolons with basic trinity build and a 212 amp, you can capture a teralyst with anything, just max talons and void strike from madurai school, use operator's 1st ability before shooting to deplete shields, use some hard hitting primary weapon modded for radiation, and just get and charge the lures at last phase, you can rank up with the quills pretty quickly.
