Unfortunately Eidolons got Nerfed so Hard a while Back that this Doesn't Matter Anymore... I strip all Eidolon Armor just for the Sake of Convenience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You forgot to mention that Riven mods with multiple elemental perks work counterintuitively to normal mods. Unlike normal left to right top to bottom, Riven mods count from bottom up WITHIN MOD ITSELF. Meaning if you have Riven that gives you both heat and cold damage (in that order), then by placing toxic before riven you can make it viral + heat. But if you place toxic mod after, it will be blast + toxic. It also allows to switch out simple elemental "base damage" from toxin to heat with 2 mods instead of 3.
I *think* you're wrong about that. There is a priority system in cases where elements are in the same spot on the regular priority order, and it goes Heat > Cold > Electricity > Toxin. Should apply to Rivens exactly like that!
I feel like a guide on Energy economy management would be cool to see. I love this type of videos and I'm confident to say that I'm not the only one that wants to see more of this.
my advice if you’re worried about energy: use the Zenurik focus school. Wellspring and hardened wellspring will prevent you from running out of energy! Zenurik is SOO underrated, I hardly every switch off it, especially bc I love playing caster frames that rely heavily on energy! I don’t recommend Arcane energize, it’s overrated and offers a chance of granting additional energy on pickup.that’s just my two cents. hope it was helpful. :)
@@ceral1871 considering this is kinda a how to for beginners series mcgamercz has going, i doubt the people watching and commenting on these have access to arcane energize
You have arcane energize, nourish, nourish with zenurik, nourish with energy siphon, and now nourish with energy nexus which acts as a better version of energy siphon minus being an aura. There are most likely a lot more methods of acquiring energy that I haven't listed.
I imagine a new player finds this a lot easier to understand than some theorycrafter explaining why he loves running weapons with corrosive, viral and gas at the same time whilst the new player doesnt even have a toxin mod yet.
There are no stupid questions. Everyone starts out knowing nothing about a topic, and learning requires questions being asked and answers being given. Good on you for putting this out. I know it's probably already helped a lot of people who were lacking this knowledge.
Hi Mc. Just wanted to say, I love your content. No matter what you choose to do, you're doing great. I know TH-cam doesn't always reflect that- but thank you for everything you have put into this channel. Take care.
This is excellent content man, I echo the sentiment of "Things I wish i'd had access to when I started" Considering its such an important set of mechanics, the game does a pretty piss poor job of helping you understand them.
the game is so bad at explaining anything someone had to create a wiki so idiots like me can read it without having to bash my brains out with trial and a crap ton of error
Well, i finally got what Primer actually supposed to mean. Still bullshit mechanic (that it works basically only for heat and snapshots base elemental damage and faction mods), but oh well... Doesn't force me to use it, but will keep in mind. On other hand Rhino Roar does count as faction mode, so...
@@DimkaTsv Primer is used to mean a few different things in Warframe but the simple explanation is that a primer/ability is a weapon you use to set up some combo before you make use of that set up with something else Like using a fast status gun to apply a lot of status before hitting them with a melee weapon with Condition Overload Or using a weapon that procs a lot of viral before hitting them with a big slash pric weapon
Day 1 player and these are the most important videos because aside from in-game play the majority of people play everything else and this is need to know information to be viable in this game
I've always found the dual combo of radiation and viral to be a solid all-rounder/general purpose elemental setup for any and all belligerents. And what those can't handle, slash tends to liquify.
with the new radiation mods in this update, it givs me hope of wf giving us actual combined elemental mods for our arsenal, that would make it more powerful and would open new builds an effects!
I love the new dual stats. They're like blaze or chilling reload but with more utilities, I hope they add more too. Much better than just element + status or low elemental + 30% extra to the bingus stat or whatever lol
When I first started playing back in 2014, I thought they were useless until I researched what they affect and how. Fast forward to today, and I mod based on what I'm fighting against and make sure my elements reflect that. Always go back to tue basics, even if you think you have everything figured out.🥃
Direct to the point video like these helps alot for returning players like me, there’s a lot has been going on since 2015, I’m finishing the main quest and completing the star chart, most youtubers never really explain that MODS are the essential item that make or break a warframe regardless if its prime or not, I’m no stranger to theory crafting builds, but I have to say this game is pretty overwhelming, I’m currently having fun so far, and I don’t intend to use real money until the end game 👍
Been playing warframe since the closed beta but somehow managed to miss the part of elemental damage being added to base damage. So all these years I've seen people running primed elemental damage mods with low status weapons and being a bit puzzled. Thank you for making content like this, it really does help more people than you may think it does!
There's a lot of information with Warframe, for a newer player it can be super confusing, remember trying to learn how and why elements work when first started getting into modding weapons, the game didn't really explain that too well. Thank you kindly for this super helpful video MC!
well if you are lazy enough to learn or read things then better sleep all your life. what makes me like warframe is that even theres alot of information which is challenging for me which me want to learn everything and even spend time reading it. the sad part is people dont like to read and learn lol you dont even need to be smart in real life all you need is love to read
I just came back to the game I found most of the builds from 3 years ago are not working now like staticor and gas no longer proc toxin being a different tipe of DMG this is such a helpful informationTy
Isn't it the case that damage bonuses against armored targets are also armor bypasses for that damage type? i.e. the 75% damage bonus against alloy armor that radiation has is also a bypass on 75% of the target's armor for that damage type?
I have to die on this hill so here I go... COLD is AMAZING and it is slept on. Many players don't realize or forget that the slow in this game isn't movement speed slow, its a slow to the animation. That means that the enemy will aim, react, turn and even attack slower. I know lower tier infested are resistant to it but those are the trash mobs... very squishy, the higher tier infested is a bit resistant but don't forget that COLD also increases Crit damage and the resistance isn't that much. So Cold is a good overall damage, it's slow is amazing at survivability and crowd control, and since it is buffed, it increases your crit damage by a good amount. I know some of you might say that Killing everything in the room with a button is much better survivability option and yes... that is true. But not all players are capable of that. So if you are starting out or struggling staying alive in Steel Path, try utilizing cold
At this point i wonder what game does not tell you, when i started warframe i used wiki and youtube for everything, but now the game does tell you what to do, how to do it, but nobody pays attention. If you go to mods there is a tutorial, if you go to the codex there is 'training' and 'missions'. The first quest of the game is a huge tutorial how to start missions, it shows you how the quest marker looks. Those things were in the game since 2012, maybe not, because i did not pay attention and everybody told me the game doesn't tell you anything. If you played any mobile games you wish the tutorial would stop forcing you to press everything and let you explore the game.
It's almost always preferred to strip all armor because your weapons almost always have enough damage now to kill a red bar of health regardless of elemental damage. It's even more important if you're running endurance since stripping 99% of a level 9999 enemy still leaves enough armor to completely ignore the extra damage u receive from having let's say corrosive. Tbh at that point you're probably just relying to slash and full strip.
nice video. but you make a small mistake about the toxin dmg and his shield bypassing. it also bypass proto shild IF it is NOT a boss type enemy. but for high tear units it should work like normal shields
Been playing warframe for 2 years and som1 finally explain how to mix elemental mods and how it works i usaully just keep fliping them till i get what im trying 2
Got a question about status chance, once you go over 100% and hits say, 150% do hits/shots now have a chance to double proc? And if so is it just in terms of stacks or damage as well kinda like a pseudo multishot? Like does is just double proc the same status or can proc another like corro' and heat on the same hit
Both, as they have armour and flesh, but the armour will reduce the damage they take. However, if you are using an element/combo that is strong against armour, it bypasses 75% of the armour and increases the base damage by +75% as well.
yes but they arnt moddable void is only from operator xaku 1 and 4 true dmg is weird because theres not 1 true dmg theres like 3 ones like bleed is a true dmg toxin is a true dmg and then theres true dmg that goes through everything
And that's why, ladies and gentlemen, grinnier hate corrosive and heat, corpus hate magnetic and toxin and infested hate gas and electricity or gas and cokd (whichever you prefer).... Sometimes physical damage is not enough.... Coming from the guy who loves the Tigris.... Because me love double barrel shotguns a lot
With infested I’d stick with Corrine heat or blast as the higher tier infested can be both armored but are not quite as paper tissue level , also gas / electric can be used in specific aoe scenarios with set ups and it’s devastating or can go pure heat as it scales with heat inherit also having a DoT on top of its innate armour strike
I've been playing around with the Azothane the last few days, mainly for Dagath since Grave Spirit and Doom boost crit damage. Plus with the new melee arcanes and tennokai you can really crank crit chance and damage. I've been relying on the innate slash damage and haven't put any elemental mods on, but I'm thinking I might add cold to further boost crit damage. Thoughts anyone?
I dunno man. If your base damage is high enough, stripping their armor is always more effective. Than again I'm not using base mods and stick 7-9 forma on everything.
Well, in case of "one shot" build as long as 75% damage bonus is higher than X% damage mitigation from armour remaining, you will benefit more from NOT stripping armor completely. That also have range of "useless gains", and "useless result" based on enemy level. Stripping 99.99% armor from abstract lvl mob (we want that small af number to be rounded up) will give you more damage, but you already nuke it down. And stripping 99.99% armor from 9999 mob should leave them with enough numerical armour to have more than 75% damage mitigation anyways. Not stripping armor also harmful for status builds, except slash.
@@DevastationIndustries i don't grind them at all. But for those who do grind them, YES, it matters. Because they have their actions written in brains. I saw how Eidolons are getting farmed. And no, you would've lost a lot of speed by shooting each sinew second time. So for those people it does matter as it directly affects grinding speed.
