This is rather an embarrassing oversight but because of the damage and health rework from Jade Shadows, the corpus no longer resist heat, and only specialized units have certain resistances and such. So Feel free to ignore the heat part but Electric is still strong against shields!
The cooldown implemented for her was in part a result of amprex and peculiar bloom. Every time you crit, a flower would grow, and the game could generate so many flowers so quickly it crashed.
i think you simply overlooked the fact that armor stripping was the only viable meta back then for frames like gyre, thus why her becoming a pillage bot, because you modded her for high duration and reach it was the easiest and most efficient to put pillage on her. edit: people reading only what they want once again for the past 2 weeks, THIS WHOLE COMMENT IS TALKING PRE-AUGMENT AND OLD META ! stop trying to argue with me by bringing current day gyre not needing duration or any other thing you can come up with, i'm done with people's stupidity and them reading only what they want when they want. If you can't read what people say don't reply.
@@itsKiminot really. There’s no reason not to run gyre with her augment that increases the duration of your abilities for getting kills. You can ignore duration and pump your other stats with 0 consequence bc gyre should be getting enough kills to sustain her kit.
I love playing Gyre and, unironically, did not even know the Pillage thing worked like that until right now. I straight up just play her basekit, because she doesn't even NEED it to slap shit to death.
Yeah she is nice that way. When I finally put Pillage on Gyre, I thought to make her mimic hildryn by adding more shields to her with shards. I have too many blue and not enough reds. I used that and Quick Thinking to make a pretty comfortable build.
Gyre my beloved broken electric dancer also i do play her as a gunzerker using my arca plasmor with a very broken riven giving 200% damage and 80% stat chance with a mara detron with a xoris.
I always felt like she needed either a built in shield regen or armor strip in order for her kit to become solid. But after we got abyss of Dagath both of those problems became less of an issue. But I do think she is better than before and honestly kinda saw her as a hybrid between power and gunzerker frame.
I really love Gyre and I'm pleased to see someone find a unique way to play her and that makes me happy. That being said, this is an absurd, meme level of investment in order to just get good damage (nothing new, but cool), RNG survivability that puts pressure on cracked out high KPM so your failsafe doesn't..fail, and in some situations you do still have to repeatedly blast enemies til they die which is not proportional to the investment. Very fun and creative but "overpowered" is definitely clickbait. Even Sevagoth has less investment as this and he- well okay, he's *actually* overpowered so that's unfair. Loved the video, but, if anything, all this did for me was really cement Gyre as a Pillage frame. Not that that takes away from her as much as you seem to imply, but that's the only realistic way she can be played.
I agree. If there was another consistent method of survivability that wasn’t investment heavy, I would be all in. I’ve recently been trying to use arcane blessing, to varying degrees of success. The gunzerker build shown *is* viable, but not particularly practical imo.
"That's the only realistic way she can be played" that statement is objectively not true. Keep in mind, this build is a gunner build. It's efficiency rely a lot on the actual weapon used. There are several layer of gimmick used in this video, it's the entire point honestly, he said it himself.

I'm not even talking about pets. Now we have companion which can strip extremely reliably 50% of armor and cripple eximus units. You can steal overguard, since you want to focus them with this build anyway, it'll be a very reliable way of surviving. TBH, i'll go as far as to say that Pillage is really inferior to some Gyre builds out here and actually require to much to make it really work.
Give the dual ichor incarnon modded for gas and magnetic, and the melee vortex arcane on. It’ll create a self sustaining loop of pulling enemies, aoe damage and electric destruction
i get that World on Fire was made use of to farm low level content, but they basically gave Kullervo the same "old" WoF ability before DE designed it to be with Ember instead of where Ember casts it.
A good way to play around Gyre's shield stat is by looking at tyhe shield buffs from a few months ago. Shields now have innate 50% damage resistance, and instead of the recharge rate being a flat number, it's a flat number plus a percentage of max shields. Primed redirection is a relatively new primed mod, giving acces to much larger shield pools. Then when you include adaptation on top of the innate 50% damage reduction, you suddenly have a shield with an ehp of over 30k. You can pair that with yet more sources of shield tanking, like brief respite and augur mods for a constant flow of shield restoration. I personally use electric ward on my gyre, because it isn't the nerfed version that makes it bad on hildryn. When enemies attack me they will take the reflected electricity damage, with the high chance of it being critical due to her passive. That critically reflected damage can oneshot corpus enemies, and even if it doesn't, the crit will proc the lightning which will annihilate any enemy. Also, if the acid shells shtick is really what you're interested in, you're probably better off looking at a tenet glaxion with combustion beam. It's the exact same thing, except the glaxion is a better weapon and combustion beam has a bigger AoE. An innately magnetic glaxion would perfectly melt any overguard like you were suggesting I saw someone talk about eclipse for the damage reduction if you were so concerned with the suvivability, which is definitely an option, but then you might as well just use gloom seeing how good gloom is on every caster frame.
4:04 this inspired me to experiment with a Shivering Contagion setup, and it turned out way better than I anticipated. Still haven’t figured out what Helminth to use yet, but Gyre might not even need one for ability DPS if the primer fullstrips with corrosive too since Arcsphere will just casually hit like a brick wrapped in tesla coils
So far in my testing of this sorta gunserker build, i've found insanely good synergy with the sporothrix. Innate viral, high slash weighting, 4 riven dispo, high punch-thru, and no particular need for any other status mods, it ticks basically all the boxes and results in some absolutely disgusting damage numbers and makes cc with it even more of a breeze than it already was. If snipers dont float your boat, though, I've also found the strun (incarnon and regular mode), miter (my personal fav incarnon), STAHLTA🙏, and the proboscis cernos, the last of which actually kinda blew me away with how easily it took down hoards, even with only 6/8 mods and a scuffed build (only disclaimer is that enemies effected by elec proc will not be pulled in by the tentacles, but this can be helped out by using prime firestorm/nautilus). Also all testing ive done with this build up to this point has been with roar instead of shock trooper (when dealing with DOTs like electricity, roar is multiplicative instead of additive) and 4 regular purples with only 1 tauforged. That is to say this archetype for gyre is by no means locked behind getting 5 tauforged, and even if you have no tauforged purples it will most likely be more than adequate for 99% of content you encounter in this game. Also if you're reading this let me know if you've found any other weapon combos that work well, especially in the secondary and melee department cause i have not explored in that area much. Enjoy!
You highlighting Eximus units, plus the recent Belly of the Beast event, reminds me that Banshee is crazy in the right setups right now. Give her a decent secondary with Secondary Fortifier and a Helminth ability like Terrify or Ophanim Eyes for defense, or Xata's Whisper for offense and Eximus units will vanish from the map the instant they spawn. The amount of damage my setup was putting out during the event was passing high-play nuke frames by at least 25% on average. Sometimes with the lowest or second lowest amount of kills in the squad.
I use electric elemental ward, replacing her second ability you can replace her first if you want, usually using her with taxon and it to get some good shield gate with the two but mostly for the damage reflection which triggers rotor swell at bonkers damage, I also purpure shards from ability damage. For survivability I have adaptation, and arcane guardian along with dreamer's bond for passive health and energy regen because I like it. Also use acorn stretch for even more energy regen and primed continuity so you can use blind rage and transient fortitude, I also use umbra intensify and molt augmented. To get the best results with this use weapons that have high crit damage with good crit chances it doesn't matter that electric damage is not as effective against armored enemies all the critical multipliers on your damage happen after damage resistances so if you use a weapon that gets most of its damage from crit and multi shot you have the best results.
Sickening pulse is absolutely insane on Gyre now. Also, Shade for perma invisibility. Just run around tapping 2, with her augment you can snapshot insanely high strength from Molt Augmented, Molt Vigor, Grimoire, Growing Power and Madurai chain sling to push well over 500% strength while maintaining max range as well. Sickening pulse to increase electric procs and whatever viral procs come from your shade’s duplex bond and yeah… ridiculous damage that even melts acolytes.
I love Gyre so much. Being able to completely flatten the ads in Disruption, and give yourself a huge crit chance buff for the Demos, makes me very happy
She can actually health tank! You can abandon shields entirely in steel path by using quick thinking, adaptation, flow, and arcane guardian. The energy to health efficiency of quick thinking is very large and multiplies off other damage reduction layers like armor and adaptation and gives her an ehp pool comparable to chroma. With the large energy regen of cathode grace you can easily soak tons of damage and get your energy back without issue and if modding for maximum strength nourish gives a huge bonus to the energy regen. I use one blue archon shard for armor and unairu to bring her armor up significantly alongside arcane guardian. Unairu's poise and armor strip also help her a ton. You could replace nourish with another defense ability like null star or eclipse but I find the viral procs from the explosion and the added viral damage helpful in boosting her performance as a gunzerker. Many frames with large energy pools can benefit from this style of defense by using flat armor increases and quick thinking to grant them very large effective health pools. This is extra helpful with energy restoring mechanics like archon stretch on wisp gyre and volt or innate energy regen like limbo's rift and garuda's 3. You can get more mileage out of it by using hunter adrenaline in combination with healing options like the hirudo, arcane reaper, or hunter recovery. I would definitely recommend giving the set up a try.
I found that one ability that works well with Gyre is Breach Surge. I know it sounds weird as she no longer has armor strip, but if you mod guns for Corrosive you can still achieve some level of strip. However, this works well with her because she deals a wide area of constant DoT's. Spamming Breach Surge blinds all nearby enemies, giving her extra survivability; and on top of that any damage they take has a chance to shoot a Surge Spark. With the constant DoT's, you'll see... TOO MANY Sparks. I call the build Sparkflare Gyre, as you'll enter a room and suddenly Sparks shoot around murdering every enemy in sight. For my weapon, I'm just meleeing using Harmony with Melee Afflictions; it's also modded for Heat/Viral and it's innate Slash is good so it's a solid choice. Primary is a Kuva Chakhurr for any EXTRA tanky enemies. Ive taken this build into many different missions and it performs quite well throughout. It's great at stacking up a bunch of Statuses on bosses for you to hit with a mighty wallop from Harmony.
Survivability IS an issue, but I've got a maxed Adaptation on. That with the blind from Breach Surge helps a ton, as Breach Surge's blind can hit Eximus enemies through their Overguard. My hound also has Duplex Bond; this is a great choice on your Companions if you're running a caster build because it'll spawn ghostly versions of your companion. They deal kinda crappy damage but the damage isn't why you want them. They have infinite health and draw aggression from enemy gunfire, and 3 can be spawned at once. So not only am I blinding many enemies, preventing them from shooting me, I also summon ghostly hounds that distract the remaining enemies.
@@nauticalgaming2256yea that sounds cool, I just got done building Gyre today and dont know which way to go with her at all.. what abilities did u add and keep on her??
Smol note, Manifold bond works on 'all' enemies, not just Eximus as ye said during that segment at 10:35-ish. I've been using it on my Voruna nuke build for awhile to have robo-doggo spam electric orb thingys and magnetic field thingys for both priming and CC
Ngl, every time I see the word Gunzerker I immediately think of Salvador from Borderlands 2. He earned ownership of that term thanks to how utterly busted he is with the game's spaghetti coding
I watched this video and thought "I wonder why I never play Gyre" so I decided to start working on a build, logged in to realize I didn't even have Gyre😂 I fed her to the wall and never got around to farming the last piece. A few Void Cascade bounties later and I finally got her last piece after all that time.
Instead of shock, I used eclipse since it is kinda a dual mode, use its damage buff in low risk scenarios and its damage reduction in high risk scenarios. While it wouldn’t have the absurd up front electric damage that you would have I would still have respectable damage and would also not need a second augment mod, freeing up a mod slot.
This is a channel exclusively to talk about Warframe's history. If you're looking for proper modding tips that'll take your frames far into late game you're better off looking at max investment and Level Cap videos and then adjust them accordingly to what mods, weapons and helminth you have. The video already gives you a general direction on how to maximize her schtick, the rest is up to you.
Honestly 1000% is such overkill you're suffering from diminishing returns. Fortunately, the second part of those shards allows you to mix and match really well so you can replace some primary elec purples with abilty damage purples and still keep the max buff per shard active. Running 2 ability shards and 3 primary elec shards drops your elec weapon bonus from 600% to 360% whilst still allowing you to get 30% more damage on all your abilities as well. Though I'd also wager you do far more damage just running Roar with 600% in primary elec shards than either. Edit: thinking about it, if you're going to lean into weapons that hard Eclipse is even a good shout as you can pivot to DR when needed for added survivability.
It's only diminishing returns if you're losing out on another bonus that could be occupying that space, i.e. modding for tons of elemental damage when you have this setup would likely offer diminished returns, since crit or serration bonuses would be providing more total damage in those slots. Simply having >1000% elec damage isn't diminishing anything, you don't gain less damage as the buff goes higher or anything like that, you're only providing a large amount of that bonus to the setup. In many circumstances (like magnetic) you are limited in the amount of multipliers you have access to. Since serration and crit bonuses don't apply for the magnetic -> elec proc, you end up getting tons of value by focusing into that element % and bane. The reason Nova didn't go for roar in the setup as opposed to shock (and why I suggested it as a meme) is because roar is very basic, and the extra elec damage was pretty much the only other option you have access to, aside from clunky damage vulnerabilities like equi and caliban subsumes (not that they're bad, but they're weaker than roar and not really that much better than shock.) Another good argument for this high elec% setup is actually xata's whisper+sobek. Xata's whisper is able to multiply the sobek detonation (the enemy hp%) by bonuses you wouldn't normally be able to; unfortunately you can't use crit and serration, but you *can* use elemental %, i.e. those archon shards have a massive conversion value and you're boosting the damage by more than 10x. Even with armor presence, a stong enough xata+sobek+shard setup will be doing large chunks of damage and if you're focusing on overguarded targets with magnetic, you actually have quite a "pop the big guy and the little guys will fall" type of setup, though it requires a lot of attention and investment to really see and feel the results. I actually do agree with you though, there is some diminished value here when stacking the shards this high, and you could get a similar effect by slotting a 3 weapon bonus + 2 ability damage shard setup, with that bit more ability damage providing tons of value, and aside from the memes, roar is objectively the best option for pretty much all of the setups. We only didn't go for roar because well, memes :P
@@CunnyMuncher You can run Amalgam Barrel diffusion and praedos with parkour perks, but Amalgam Barrel alone is fantastic for speed movement. Or free up the exilus for a velocity mod, or the arcane slot, not limited to just yellow shards.
@@NovaUmbral Honestly Mobilize on top of a tauforged yellow makes you so much of a mobility monster for a mere 15% hit to overall power str or some other stat But to be fair we ARE talking about a meta/minmax build in a game where endgame content is barebones easy with a handful of weapons and frames so its meaningless for me to say that
Ik it doesnt really work with that purple shard setup but glaives with influence enjoy this, i love using a viral xoris bc everythijg always has an electric proc on them which benefits her passive and is aoe
I have a strength built gyre with pillage. And. She's not a caster frame so much as a means of transmitting my incarnon strun P's 50+ multishot into enemies' faces for red crits. tooling around with the archons like that sounds fun though! I'll have to take a look at my options.
so i play a lot of gyre and came up with a weird build. ive been using gloom gyre. he base hp is bad so i use arcane blessing to stack up an extra 1200HP with adaptation for 90% DR. my build has 216% power strength for 10% life steal. while rotter swell and cathode grace are online any area damage heals me and between the slow and electric procs im safe. 140% deration and 90% efficiency gloom takes 6ish energy / second. arcon stretch gets me a constant 2 energy so gloom is closer to 4 energy a second. for the weapon i use the amprex with a viral hunter build to synergize with her lightning strikes. i dont have it yet but i want to get the grimoire with the armor strip tome mod to round out the combo.
Quick Thinking + Arcane Guardian its also a good way to give Gyre survivability if you want to use the other arcane slot for molt agumented or any other.
Okay so I just wanna make sure. Are you insinuating at 7:10 that the discharges from cathode grace that generate from weapon crits get affected by the violet archon shards? Or do they scale off ability damage/ strength as would be expected.
Since you like goofy and unique builds like this, I have a fun one for you. I spent a few weeks about a year ago turning Valkyr into a 2700 base armor, fire blast spamming, shield gating, and nigh infinite health weapon platform.
Don't think I will ever bother going all tau purple on her but its pretty funny for the memes alone. I like pillage (of course, its great on her), nourish (for a run & gun playstyle) and resonator when I just want to chill.
What about Jade's helminth? Slow everything to a crawl while stripping defenses. It should also increase the time enemies that get zapped are in their stun animation like gloom.
Ok, update: So i initially asked for a build even though you gave all the tools to create a build in the video. I watched the videi but was used to getting the information easly. Anyway, i tested some stuff and you are right, this build is very strong. I went for 3 normal purple for weapon damage and 2 tauforged for ability damage. Aura, went Brief Respite Primed sure footed Primed continuity Primed flow Archon Stretch Blind rage Rank 9 Fleeting expertise rank 4 Rolling guard And the two auguments, shocking touch and her augument (cant recall the name) Arcanes, both arcane aegis and arcane batier max rank. Sentinel, Wyrm prime with the usual. Tested it in a number of mission, very very good, very consistent across a lot of missions, weapons and factions. Especially the murmurs. Highly recommend trying out something like this. If you have a good team comp with supportung frames, is even more op. Thanks for the idea!
This build is a masterpiece however it has 1 problem which is it being expensive cuz of arcane barrier since most people didnt even bother getting it since aegis is better in most cases so sadly imma have to stick with pillage gyre till i get barrier and some super purple jolly ranchers
Gyre is amazing because it let's your non crit weapons crit, while still keeping their ability to either do pure damage or status dump. Want a Phantasma that can slap hundreds of Red Crit Fire Procs? She's your gal.
Rolling guard for survivability and don't subsume over her 1. It CCs most enemies and is a more reliable way to activate rotorswell. She doesnt need efficiency and roar on her 2 is amazing. Jade subsume over her 2 or even just without subsumes clears most steelpath content.
OMEGA STRIKERS MENTIONED I instantly knew the song at 13:15 , never expected to hear the Omega Strikers OST attached to something Warframe related Also you spelled the artist's name wrong in the description, their name is actually spelled "Koaster"
Idk man, Gara on long or endless missions can reach stupid damage levels so long as you can get enough energy to keep the loop going (having a Trinity and or Harrow in squad would be best)
I've never used pillage didn't like the feel I just use nourish and never run out of uptime know it's not tanky but I just spam the 1 for sheilds with augur mods
Can someone explain this to me in simple terms To my understanding, putting a bunch of purple shards with primary elec damage on Gyre with her augment and 4 active = big damage
0:50 Nah you got to try her with sickening pulse the new helminth is insane with her That's my first time hearing about pillage pillage is overrated 0:50
Gyre single handedly changed my view on Warframe as a game, she was my first grasp on what actual power in this game looks like, pair her with the right weapon, and she’s borderline unstoppable, I love her to death, and also love this game.
I keep saying it, it will never matter if you're a nuke that does 100 million billion damage, if you lack survivability, not dying is king, hence why revenant and rhino are kings despite not having nukes or as much damage as other frames
People always give her pillage because its the perfect abilitycfor her. Or rather shes the perfect warframe for pillage. IMO no frame gains more from having pillage than gyre. It reduces armor and gives her much needed survivability. Before the status reword it also remoced armor that took 50% less damage from electricity snd turned it to normal health that takes neutral damage a 100% increase.
This is rather an embarrassing oversight but because of the damage and health rework from Jade Shadows, the corpus no longer resist heat, and only specialized units have certain resistances and such. So Feel free to ignore the heat part but Electric is still strong against shields!
just a question, how does this go against Archons/Bosses, or other status resistant targets?
The cooldown implemented for her was in part a result of amprex and peculiar bloom. Every time you crit, a flower would grow, and the game could generate so many flowers so quickly it crashed.

The amount of damage my setup was putting out during the event was passing high-play nuke frames by at least 25% on average. Sometimes with the lowest or second lowest amount of kills in the squad.
I use electric elemental ward, replacing her second ability you can replace her first if you want, usually using her with taxon and it to get some good shield gate with the two but mostly for the damage reflection which triggers rotor swell at bonkers damage, I also purpure shards from ability damage. For survivability I have adaptation, and arcane guardian along with dreamer's bond for passive health and energy regen because I like it. Also use acorn stretch for even more energy regen and primed continuity so you can use blind rage and transient fortitude, I also use umbra intensify and molt augmented. To get the best results with this use weapons that have high crit damage with good crit chances it doesn't matter that electric damage is not as effective against armored enemies all the critical multipliers on your damage happen after damage resistances so if you use a weapon that gets most of its damage from crit and multi shot you have the best results.
Thats actually a really interesting build
Sickening pulse is absolutely insane on Gyre now. Also, Shade for perma invisibility. Just run around tapping 2, with her augment you can snapshot insanely high strength from Molt Augmented, Molt Vigor, Grimoire, Growing Power and Madurai chain sling to push well over 500% strength while maintaining max range as well. Sickening pulse to increase electric procs and whatever viral procs come from your shade’s duplex bond and yeah… ridiculous damage that even melts acolytes.
I love Gyre so much. Being able to completely flatten the ads in Disruption, and give yourself a huge crit chance buff for the Demos, makes me very happy
Gyre+Strun incarnin are just 100% pure fun. Gunzerker frame is so accurate!!
Sickening Pulse, Breach Surge, and Roar all work great on Gyre.
Thanks for confirm that Pillage still the superior choice.
So what ability are people getting rid of for pillage?
@@LyranVega1 or 2, just keep whichever one you like more
@@zachcate7102 yea I ended up just getting rid of the 2 since the 1 is still some form of CC
She’s definitely in my top five
She can actually health tank! You can abandon shields entirely in steel path by using quick thinking, adaptation, flow, and arcane guardian. The energy to health efficiency of quick thinking is very large and multiplies off other damage reduction layers like armor and adaptation and gives her an ehp pool comparable to chroma. With the large energy regen of cathode grace you can easily soak tons of damage and get your energy back without issue and if modding for maximum strength nourish gives a huge bonus to the energy regen. I use one blue archon shard for armor and unairu to bring her armor up significantly alongside arcane guardian. Unairu's poise and armor strip also help her a ton. You could replace nourish with another defense ability like null star or eclipse but I find the viral procs from the explosion and the added viral damage helpful in boosting her performance as a gunzerker.
Many frames with large energy pools can benefit from this style of defense by using flat armor increases and quick thinking to grant them very large effective health pools. This is extra helpful with energy restoring mechanics like archon stretch on wisp gyre and volt or innate energy regen like limbo's rift and garuda's 3. You can get more mileage out of it by using hunter adrenaline in combination with healing options like the hirudo, arcane reaper, or hunter recovery. I would definitely recommend giving the set up a try.
Amazing video as always Nova. Glad i could help with the gyre stuff. Even if it was minimal.
I found that one ability that works well with Gyre is Breach Surge. I know it sounds weird as she no longer has armor strip, but if you mod guns for Corrosive you can still achieve some level of strip. However, this works well with her because she deals a wide area of constant DoT's. Spamming Breach Surge blinds all nearby enemies, giving her extra survivability; and on top of that any damage they take has a chance to shoot a Surge Spark. With the constant DoT's, you'll see... TOO MANY Sparks.
I call the build Sparkflare Gyre, as you'll enter a room and suddenly Sparks shoot around murdering every enemy in sight. For my weapon, I'm just meleeing using Harmony with Melee Afflictions; it's also modded for Heat/Viral and it's innate Slash is good so it's a solid choice. Primary is a Kuva Chakhurr for any EXTRA tanky enemies. Ive taken this build into many different missions and it performs quite well throughout. It's great at stacking up a bunch of Statuses on bosses for you to hit with a mighty wallop from Harmony.
Survivability IS an issue, but I've got a maxed Adaptation on. That with the blind from Breach Surge helps a ton, as Breach Surge's blind can hit Eximus enemies through their Overguard. My hound also has Duplex Bond; this is a great choice on your Companions if you're running a caster build because it'll spawn ghostly versions of your companion. They deal kinda crappy damage but the damage isn't why you want them. They have infinite health and draw aggression from enemy gunfire, and 3 can be spawned at once. So not only am I blinding many enemies, preventing them from shooting me, I also summon ghostly hounds that distract the remaining enemies.
@@nauticalgaming2256yea that sounds cool, I just got done building Gyre today and dont know which way to go with her at all.. what abilities did u add and keep on her??
Smol note, Manifold bond works on 'all' enemies, not just Eximus as ye said during that segment at 10:35-ish.
I've been using it on my Voruna nuke build for awhile to have robo-doggo spam electric orb thingys and magnetic field thingys for both priming and CC
Ngl, every time I see the word Gunzerker I immediately think of Salvador from Borderlands 2. He earned ownership of that term thanks to how utterly busted he is with the game's spaghetti coding
Great vid! Pillage is still the most comfortable setup for me, but I definitely want to try out the builds you showed!
Tesla Nervos + Tesla Bank = Fun Sister of Raiden
bro used Bomb Rush Cyberfunk music? thumbs up for that alone
I personally use a gyre with thermal sunder and the melee electricity arcane that does big damage
I watched this video and thought "I wonder why I never play Gyre" so I decided to start working on a build, logged in to realize I didn't even have Gyre😂
I fed her to the wall and never got around to farming the last piece. A few Void Cascade bounties later and I finally got her last piece after all that time.
The first ever gyre fashion that looks good LOL
Instead of shock, I used eclipse since it is kinda a dual mode, use its damage buff in low risk scenarios and its damage reduction in high risk scenarios. While it wouldn’t have the absurd up front electric damage that you would have I would still have respectable damage and would also not need a second augment mod, freeing up a mod slot.
So all this to no show a build at the end?
This is a channel exclusively to talk about Warframe's history. If you're looking for proper modding tips that'll take your frames far into late game you're better off looking at max investment and Level Cap videos and then adjust them accordingly to what mods, weapons and helminth you have.
The video already gives you a general direction on how to maximize her schtick, the rest is up to you.
Honestly 1000% is such overkill you're suffering from diminishing returns. Fortunately, the second part of those shards allows you to mix and match really well so you can replace some primary elec purples with abilty damage purples and still keep the max buff per shard active. Running 2 ability shards and 3 primary elec shards drops your elec weapon bonus from 600% to 360% whilst still allowing you to get 30% more damage on all your abilities as well.
Though I'd also wager you do far more damage just running Roar with 600% in primary elec shards than either.
Edit: thinking about it, if you're going to lean into weapons that hard Eclipse is even a good shout as you can pivot to DR when needed for added survivability.
good thinking
It's only diminishing returns if you're losing out on another bonus that could be occupying that space, i.e. modding for tons of elemental damage when you have this setup would likely offer diminished returns, since crit or serration bonuses would be providing more total damage in those slots. Simply having >1000% elec damage isn't diminishing anything, you don't gain less damage as the buff goes higher or anything like that, you're only providing a large amount of that bonus to the setup. In many circumstances (like magnetic) you are limited in the amount of multipliers you have access to. Since serration and crit bonuses don't apply for the magnetic -> elec proc, you end up getting tons of value by focusing into that element % and bane. The reason Nova didn't go for roar in the setup as opposed to shock (and why I suggested it as a meme) is because roar is very basic, and the extra elec damage was pretty much the only other option you have access to, aside from clunky damage vulnerabilities like equi and caliban subsumes (not that they're bad, but they're weaker than roar and not really that much better than shock.)
Another good argument for this high elec% setup is actually xata's whisper+sobek. Xata's whisper is able to multiply the sobek detonation (the enemy hp%) by bonuses you wouldn't normally be able to; unfortunately you can't use crit and serration, but you *can* use elemental %, i.e. those archon shards have a massive conversion value and you're boosting the damage by more than 10x. Even with armor presence, a stong enough xata+sobek+shard setup will be doing large chunks of damage and if you're focusing on overguarded targets with magnetic, you actually have quite a "pop the big guy and the little guys will fall" type of setup, though it requires a lot of attention and investment to really see and feel the results.
I actually do agree with you though, there is some diminished value here when stacking the shards this high, and you could get a similar effect by slotting a 3 weapon bonus + 2 ability damage shard setup, with that bit more ability damage providing tons of value, and aside from the memes, roar is objectively the best option for pretty much all of the setups. We only didn't go for roar because well, memes :P
I'm gonna be real, chief
Swap a purple with a tauforged yellow to spike parkour speed
That speed makes plowing missions so much better
@@CunnyMuncher You can run Amalgam Barrel diffusion and praedos with parkour perks, but Amalgam Barrel alone is fantastic for speed movement. Or free up the exilus for a velocity mod, or the arcane slot, not limited to just yellow shards.
@@NovaUmbral Honestly Mobilize on top of a tauforged yellow makes you so much of a mobility monster for a mere 15% hit to overall power str or some other stat
But to be fair we ARE talking about a meta/minmax build in a game where endgame content is barebones easy with a handful of weapons and frames so its meaningless for me to say that
thank youuuuuuu, was wondering about other ways to use my gyre < 3
The funny zappy skirt
Ik it doesnt really work with that purple shard setup but glaives with influence enjoy this, i love using a viral xoris bc everythijg always has an electric proc on them which benefits her passive and is aoe
I always had trouble teying to make my Gyre do any damage in steel path, nice to know that she is actually pretty stupid strong.
The terraria music got me grooving at work
This is the first warframe ive tried so far that made me feel powerful haha i dont even have BIS mods.
I have a strength built gyre with pillage. And. She's not a caster frame so much as a means of transmitting my incarnon strun P's 50+ multishot into enemies' faces for red crits. tooling around with the archons like that sounds fun though! I'll have to take a look at my options.
so i play a lot of gyre and came up with a weird build. ive been using gloom gyre. he base hp is bad so i use arcane blessing to stack up an extra 1200HP with adaptation for 90% DR. my build has 216% power strength for 10% life steal. while rotter swell and cathode grace are online any area damage heals me and between the slow and electric procs im safe. 140% deration and 90% efficiency gloom takes 6ish energy / second. arcon stretch gets me a constant 2 energy so gloom is closer to 4 energy a second.
for the weapon i use the amprex with a viral hunter build to synergize with her lightning strikes.
i dont have it yet but i want to get the grimoire with the armor strip tome mod to round out the combo.
Blast phantasma prime go brrrr with gyre
As soon as she dropped she got pillage. At the time it was the only way to make electricity work well. And she easily level caps like that.
Quick Thinking + Arcane Guardian its also a good way to give Gyre survivability if you want to use the other arcane slot for molt agumented or any other.
i actually really like her with breach surge :) been using it lately
Okay so I just wanna make sure. Are you insinuating at 7:10 that the discharges from cathode grace that generate from weapon crits get affected by the violet archon shards? Or do they scale off ability damage/ strength as would be expected.
Ability damage shards
Since you like goofy and unique builds like this, I have a fun one for you. I spent a few weeks about a year ago turning Valkyr into a 2700 base armor, fire blast spamming, shield gating, and nigh infinite health weapon platform.
How did you make your hud look like that? I’d love to make mine look like it.
Don't think I will ever bother going all tau purple on her but its pretty funny for the memes alone. I like pillage (of course, its great on her), nourish (for a run & gun playstyle) and resonator when I just want to chill.
I recall reading somewhere that manifold was bugged and didnt' reset the cooldown of guardian
Your outfit reminds me of the chameleos armor from monster hunter freedom 2
What about Jade's helminth? Slow everything to a crawl while stripping defenses. It should also increase the time enemies that get zapped are in their stun animation like gloom.
Yo, Horizon Zero Dawn reference at 7:20?
Wdym?
Ok, update:
So i initially asked for a build even though you gave all the tools to create a build in the video. I watched the videi but was used to getting the information easly.
Anyway, i tested some stuff and you are right, this build is very strong. I went for 3 normal purple for weapon damage and 2 tauforged for ability damage.
Aura, went Brief Respite
Primed sure footed
Primed continuity
Primed flow
Archon Stretch
Blind rage Rank 9
Fleeting expertise rank 4
Rolling guard
And the two auguments, shocking touch and her augument (cant recall the name)
Arcanes, both arcane aegis and arcane batier max rank.
Sentinel, Wyrm prime with the usual.
Tested it in a number of mission, very very good, very consistent across a lot of missions, weapons and factions. Especially the murmurs. Highly recommend trying out something like this. If you have a good team comp with supportung frames, is even more op. Thanks for the idea!
I'm glad you were able to piece together a setup that worked for you and found your own success, glad I could be of help
Terraria sound track goes hard
7:40 Terraria music go brrrrrrrr
how did u change ur ingame font style etc for damage numbers?
was expecting the usual warframe history lesson instead of a build video, but id be lying if i said it dont look neat
This build is a masterpiece however it has 1 problem which is it being expensive cuz of arcane barrier since most people didnt even bother getting it since aegis is better in most cases so sadly imma have to stick with pillage gyre till i get barrier and some super purple jolly ranchers
U could try adding the fast deflection mod for better shield recharge
3:54 You didn't know that she increased crits to guns That's her main thing The lightning II 3:00
Gyre desperately needs an augment similar to volt’s 4th augment, it would make her able to actually survive steel path like most other frames
Gyre is amazing because it let's your non crit weapons crit, while still keeping their ability to either do pure damage or status dump.
Want a Phantasma that can slap hundreds of Red Crit Fire Procs? She's your gal.
I used Volts Shock Trooper on mine :3
Definitely a Pillage bot pre-Armour changes, don't know how it feels without afterwards and haven't changed my build XDDDD
You think an electric tenet ferrox would work well with this setup? Throw it out or actually shoot it, i wonder how many aor procs you would cause
Can't you just mod viral into the sobek? Mag progenitor with viral and electric + acid shells?
Adding electricity onto a mag sobek would probably just add to the mag
I love her so mucg, but just like loki, i feel like ima be waiting a while for a good skin
I watched the video and didnt understand nothing lol, could you tell me wich mods your gyre has, and wich weapons you recommend?
For some reason even though you're technically forcing the weapon to, she can't apply Melee Influence. Ya still have to mod the wep for elec.
On a side-note, do purp shards primary damage apply to archguns?
Finally a video that its not "How Warframe Warframed Warframe."
For about 3 months between Ash and Nezha there wasn't any How X Warframe videos lol.
Rolling guard for survivability and don't subsume over her 1. It CCs most enemies and is a more reliable way to activate rotorswell. She doesnt need efficiency and roar on her 2 is amazing. Jade subsume over her 2 or even just without subsumes clears most steelpath content.
well played sir. for the 1st 15 secs of the video i thought my audio was broken...
U forgot abt kullervo when u listed frames without shield gating
In that exact section on screen I show Kullervo having a chat with Nidus using visuals.
OMEGA STRIKERS MENTIONED
I instantly knew the song at 13:15 , never expected to hear the Omega Strikers OST attached to something Warframe related
Also you spelled the artist's name wrong in the description, their name is actually spelled "Koaster"
Sorry about that typo, fixed it
Well, that was shocking
Did you try wrathful advance with xoris? I imagine it would be quite good
I am offended that you still don’t have a video in this format covering Valkyr
Idk man, Gara on long or endless missions can reach stupid damage levels so long as you can get enough energy to keep the loop going (having a Trinity and or Harrow in squad would be best)
I've never used pillage didn't like the feel I just use nourish and never run out of uptime know it's not tanky but I just spam the 1 for sheilds with augur mods
Can someone explain this to me in simple terms
To my understanding, putting a bunch of purple shards with primary elec damage on Gyre with her augment and 4 active = big damage
God i love niche builds
0:50 Nah you got to try her with sickening pulse the new helminth is insane with her That's my first time hearing about pillage pillage is overrated 0:50
"Jyre?" Sorry but that hard G there...
Gyre single handedly changed my view on Warframe as a game, she was my first grasp on what actual power in this game looks like, pair her with the right weapon, and she’s borderline unstoppable, I love her to death, and also love this game.
Just made a gyre specter to go with my operator build😂 let me watch this
cries in amprex
I keep saying it, it will never matter if you're a nuke that does 100 million billion damage, if you lack survivability, not dying is king, hence why revenant and rhino are kings despite not having nukes or as much damage as other frames
Yeah but Sayrn exists
what do you mean roar AND shock trooper?
Me who's getting magnetic Kuva/Tenet weapons: (to overguard enemies) It's time to die
How'd you make your helminth 5 wide?
5 Violet Tau? Maybe I'll stick with Pillage...
GYRE VIDEO 😱😱😱😄😁😁😁😁😁😁
Please dagath next
I enjoy Gyre, but my problem with her is survivability, so I'll need to subsume Hildryn
People always give her pillage because its the perfect abilitycfor her. Or rather shes the perfect warframe for pillage. IMO no frame gains more from having pillage than gyre. It reduces armor and gives her much needed survivability. Before the status reword it also remoced armor that took 50% less damage from electricity snd turned it to normal health that takes neutral damage a 100% increase.
