Eclipse's seemingly-random interactions actually all share a common factor: Mirage is, canonically, The Biggest Troll, so it's only to be expected that the ability you get from sacrificing her to the pogwall continues to troll in her absence. It's not buggy, it's lore-accurate.

I think the most interesting application of Eclipse is the DR for sure: it makes shield tanking suddenly viable without needing to do funky shield gate shenanigans.

Also it can be recast while still active, and it gives full DR even with no additional power strength.

[@NinjaSyao]

Yup, currently fine-tuning my Mag build and I definetly prefer Eclipse over her Polarize + augment. That ability needs to be cast constantly, is slow to reach to enemies, doesn't work on everything and doesn't last long and it NEEDS the augment. Eclipse is just 75% DR that's consistent with an optional augment and benefits your health too to make Toxin less dangerous.

Rhino is the Toyota HiLux of frames, Can fit any weapon needed for your combat objective and just works. side note is why does Warframe's math have to be so complex, at times it feels like nothing about modding is intuitive and it does not help that faction mods for example reflect nothing in the modding UI. If you drop a Serration in there the number gets bigger and you can tell its going to do more hurtin, Drop a bane in there and the number stays the same.

[@SinfireTitan]

A minor but notable difference is recasting for shield gates. Eclipse can be recast at the caster's leisure, but Roar requires its augment to do so. Granted any build that wants to shield gate will have abilities that work better than a 25 energy cost buff, but it is an option.

[@Spoden]

Relatable. I have days where I tend to do that quite often. On days like that I like to challenge myself to go paragraph by paragraph / pause from time to time and summarize to myself what I have just heard, to help me concentrate and comprehend.

[@TheEvanDude112]

Summary: Roar: Best for an overall damage focus, unless it’s a weird case like Nova’s Antimatter Absorb. Eclipse: Best for if you need an extra DR source for something to be viable, while still being able to give your damage a little kick when the time suits it. Also the best subsume to pair with Nova’s Antimatter Drop

Alternatively, you could just use Rhino and be just as invincible as Revenant, but now you have Rhino's full power roar. Nothing wrong with playing either of them over the other though, it is a game after all, play what you enjoy!

[@blakestyles2062]

I could do that but I find revenant's mesmer skin to be particularly reliable and the added benefit of temporarily stunning enemies allows me to farm headshots to charge incarnon weapons

[@conorb.1901]

@thesaltyone4400 that's arguable. Rhino's Iron Skin (and Nezha's halo) scale off of enemy damage during their invincibility period. So if you click iron skin in a big group of strong enemies and let them shoot you for a few seconds, you'll have millions of iron skin without even trying. It's also not that difficult to keep it up either, as Reinforcing Stomp is a fantastic augment and also stuns most non eximus units around you. If you're not just standing there getting shot, you can make iron skin go a very long way

[@TheCrimsonV01d]

Not to add more to this already massive subject of comparisons. But how does this fare against Nourish and the damage potential (only) that it brings as a consequence of viral status? Obviously you can double team these just the same as eclipse and roar, but is it more or less advantageous to get innate viral for your weapons when compared to eclipse and roar?

[@Super787B]

Are they better than xata’s whisper and sentient wrath? Mainly for endgame level cap, since overguard is more annoying to deal with at that point.

[@MsQueenOfDance]

Secondary question, if breach surge is counted as weapon damage, does archon orange shards that buff ability radiaton damage work on it?

[@yeoldpubman]

Weapon abilities still count as abilities too

[@J_Duba]

For those that don't get the math: 4:40 10(Base) * (1 + 1.65) * (1 + 5) = 159 * 100 = 1590% 10 * 2.65 * 6 = 159 which is 1590% increase from 10 base. First percentage to multiplier then back to percentage

I wanted to Take Lavos to level cap with this setup to test the limits of Tankyness but I don't have the time...The build is basically Catalyzing shields with a bunch of shield recharge and recharge delay mods! I may even invest some Orange shards for Blast proc shield Regen.. and maybe Cast rate cuz having to use ability animations in Weapon Platform build lowers your DPS (hence why I replace vial rush cuz it's unneeded I only need my weapon and Tankyness buffed by valence)

Kinda curious and not sure if someone in the comments brought it up or not, but how would this affect Eidelon hunts? Would roar or Eclipse be better? I'd always bring Eclipse on my volt for Eidelon hunts but with the changes now I'm not sure which one is better

[@holysecret2]

One point you did not mention is whether Roar buffs all ability damage without exception, which would be another advantage. Is that (still) the case?

[@mynamejeff4142]

Conclusion. Eclipse is only good if you primarily want it for damage resistance and the option for damage boost can be used situationally. IDK if that makes it worse than Roar since it can at least fill two roles.

[@yourdemiseishere]

Everyone subsumes roar and strongest roar stays, so if you run eclipse you can double up or have roar + resistances.

[@chungo2548]

Glaives just scale weirdly with additive damage, its the reason why chroma or limbo are going to hit higher numbers with those than mirage will cause they can get insanely high additive damage which is (im pretty sure) scaled into multiplicative damage

[@vectorlua8081]

From my testing it's something like this (1 +Additive Bonus) * Additive Bonus Where the first additive bonus includes Serration, Merciless, etc. and the second one is only the ability's additive bonus, highest yellow crit I've seen on my budget build is 3.8 million

[@Prettykooltbh]

@@vectorlua8081idk if thats true, but if it is then the first bonus is MELEE damage and second bonus is DAMAGE. They are two different stats. Melee damage doesnt affect (most) melee projectiles whereas damage does. Also CO is multiplicative with (most) melee projectiles. That being said I have no idea how it works with glaives. Dystopia has a video a while back about how damage double dips on glaives, but recently ive heard stuff abt it being multiplicative and idk whats true anymore.

[@masterhand1998]

I have a question about your section on condition overload. According to the warframe wiki, "The bonus damage gained by this mod [condition overload] stacks additively with other damage mods like Pressure Point and Spoiled Strike to increase your melee damage." Based on the information you've provided, does that mean the warframe wiki is incorrect? It sounds as though the wiki only accounts for hit-scan weapons and ignores the way condition overload interacts with projectile and radial weapons. Does this mean that galvanized aptitude (with it being a part of the condition overload family of mods) is good for a weapon like the acceltra because it's a projectile weapon or bad for the acceltra because the acceltra also produces radial damage. Should I be considering serration on my acceltra? Should all radial weapons avoid this family of mods?

[@TheKengineer]

That particular section is incorrect yes. The wiki has more detail on its page on the Condition Overload (Mechanic), though again it may still be incomplete. As outlined in the video, there are general rules and then exceptions which cannot be predicted. Only by a specific weapon being tested with the mechanics can you be certain of which mod choice is best.

[@vectorlua8081]

For some reason, probably DE's spagetthi code, some weapons have multiplicative co, I'm not too sure about the Acceltra, but if the projectiles have multiplicative co then it would be quite good for the projectiles, I'm not too sure about the radial portion though, my guess is it probably doesn't gain any effect from co

[@masterhand1998]

​@TheKengineer I can certainly see what you mean by "the utter insanity that is condition overload" now. Thank you!

[@chaosgyro]

For the Acceltra specifically, wiki testers state that CO multiplies damage with the Red rockets and adds damage with the Blue rockets. That is quite likely referring ONLY to the direct impact and not at all to the radial explosion. Explosions almost never get a bonus.

[@635574]

There are some inconsistencies in how some weaons are coded, the equations are probably copy pasted somewhere and are too complex to just eyeball check.

[@user-un2xd4yb4i]

Yes

[@MatiMuffin]

[@cenation7mjc]

hopefully they streamline this after the armor changes and make CO multiplicative even if at lower values. for eclipse it should have been reduced to 75% matching the damage reduction and being an option worth considering compared to roar

[@inperangua]

How about Nourish vs Roar?

[@ExOhz]

So for eidolons stick with eclipse? Or bring roar now instead on my volt

[@iand.structible1230]

I've read in the past (granted before the rework) that Roar doesn't work against object health, while Eclipse does; this, in turn, meaning that Eclipse would be better against the Profit-Taker's pylons. Is that (still) accurate, and if so would you say that is a significant advantage over Roar?

At least for abilities and buffs, yea. When it comes to mods, anything that adds different damage types is multiplicative, but adding more of the same damage type via mods is additive

@@NuritaTsekurai Savage Silence is great for the initial hit, but Roar overtakes it eventually due to all the bleeding damage. Basically it depends on if you're abusing "on finisher" effects and if you're willing to wait for bleed damage.

@@theunhingedgamer3762 did you not listen to the video/ever look into the CO guidelines? It's wildly inconsistent and that's what op is complaining about. They weren't saying the buffs are bugged, you added that. So much so that there're three categories and many weapons that should fall into one fall into another.

Yeah, I wish it would just tell us in the arsenal "additive" or "multiplicative", if they have to use the whacky system. Or have the arsenal just show us the real damage? Fixing it would be ideal, but you know DE would make it consistently additive causing some weapons to lose power. I think we're stuck with the system. Let them work on AoE too! Lol

Used to increase the speed of synthesis scanner, say what??
