How Hildryn Shield-Gated Warframe

[@NovaUmbral]

The intro was inspired by the original prime access trailer meme from: Szczebrzeszyniarz Brzeczyszczyczmoszyski: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nonRZpeBacyMraM EDIT: Hildryn was also an excellent frame for the orphix event due to aegis storm providing energy for the mechs, I forgot to mention this, thanks for pointing it out everyone!

[@mark0183]

You definitely just copy pasted its name

[@Rhodynit]

this start was funny, i just cooped with random guys on captures and got all my hildryn parts for free

[@dannykstick]

[@AgentHooligan]

I love how that beginning montage perfectly encapsulates Warframe, to the point where you even say "fuck it" and just buy what you needed at a price higher than it probably should be.

[@ElHarmonyV]

I swear Warframe can read your mind, when I want a gold part I can't get it but when I am targeting a silver one I'll get the gold one

[@asideofsalt.6645]

I bought her for 180 plat. Way overpaid

[@Picmanreborn]

​@@ElHarmonyV man who you telling!!!!! I been trying to get forma so I can build the vent kids room in my dojo...... I had to open 7 unrefined relics just to get a bronze item..... 😐 And it took another 5 to get the forma. I just don't understand!!!! But when I wanted Hildryn prime blueprint I maxed 6 relics and never got it. Ended up having to cough up 30 plat

[@themanwithnoname1839]

Paying the plat itself to me isnt that bad, its how much the devs charge for it if you have even the slightest of jobs lol, you wont have the time like lets say maybe a high school student might have? What im saying is, they rely on you losing patience and giving in so i would reccomend either keep grinding or just dont bother, or do what i do and just get yourself pissy about it and just play the level you want but with zero expectations of getting it and you will lol its how all of life works, the second you dont want it no more you get it lmfao same happend to me last night

[@giovannilamarra]

NOW i understand why that Nidus ragequitted the mission =\ .Now i feel sorry for the guy >_>

[@jynnql]

That's exactly why i subsumed her 4 for voracious metastasis lol, with high strength & low efficiency setup it regens just about stupid amounts of energy to literally everyone on the map

[@BZUltimix]

Also to note that she's featured in the Helminth skill Parasitic Armor. It sacrifices shields for more armor, plus the conversion rate can double or triple the amount of armor depending on power strength. And with some upgrades like Rejuvenation, Arcane Grace or both, you can literally turn Hildryn into her own version of Nidus or Inaros. She can tank on both sides of the spectrum!~

[@turkeykent3719]

but why would u do that? the skill removes all her shield so she cant cast anything and makes her extremely vulnerable when the skill runs out as she cant cast it again instantly

[@BZUltimix]

@@turkeykent3719 For fun duh, plus I'm not gonna just stand in place & take all the hits when the duration ends. Use a powerful CC gun like Cedo, take cover and wait for some of her shields to recharge to activate Pillage & then done. Pillage costs 150 shields regardless of negative efficiency last time I checked, now even if the efficiency is effected the cost would still be low~

[@turkeykent3719]

@@BZUltimix if thats your idea of fun then why not just play inaros? like i said it removes all her shield so she cant use any of her abilities. she's just a bit tanky and like inaros this method doesnt scale into high lv sp at all, the shield gating passive she has on the other hand scale infinitely, she has 2 of them

[@lucasfraczek4320]

I remember people saying she was gonna be crap since Shields at the time were dogshit and Shield Gating wasn't a thing back then. Then she came out and got some buffs, and HOLY HELL was she one my favorite Frames! To this day she has replaced a lot of Tanks I use, and I usually go back and laugh at Rahetalius' video on her since that shut aged like milk lol.

[@fantabulisticous]

for so long i never saw another hildryn, so i used to joke with fellow players i was the only person that had hildryn.

[@theabysswalker114]

Thermia fractures is live now and it's an amazing necramech leveling method, for voidrig just use his 4 and for bonewidow use the larkspur regular or prime, it's not nearly as fast to level as a warframe but it's prolly the fastest method outside of void storm lu-yan

[@RokanRulerofKaos]

[@justunnam3d]

That farming montage makes me happy i got my hildryn prime within like 12 relics because after farming a bunch of her gold drop relics from profit taker she dropped on the first one

[@luketfer]

managed the prime in 7 Axi relics and probably 2 or 3 of the other relics thankfully, still it's baroo tomorrow so I have a lot of prime parts to shovel into him now...

[@Ixarus6713]

It'll pain you to hear me say it. But tonight I've had basically the same experience as at the start, only for Shade Prime. Meanwhile I accidentally passively got Hildryn. I wasn't even trying but now I'm crafting her last part. Bout to have a blast levelling my new Chroma, Yarelli and Hildryn Prime!

[@turkeykent3719]

blazing pillage is basically mandatory because if u run 400% str for full defence strip u wont get any shields on follow up cast from stripped enemies, so u still need that augment outside of infested missions

[@jackkunasaki5044]

God i fucking love these high quality videos also i managed to get all pieces on my first run except the neuroptics, only took me 2 runs.

[@AmalgamJiena]

I was a hildryn main since day one of her release; bought her gear bundle from the market. And apparently she was pleased with me, because her prime was the easiest prime I’ve ever farmed. Larkspur prime took a fair bit longer though.

[@FenrirStrife1]

Ooooh, I finally know a piece of trivia that isnt covered in the video! Hildryn saw some fairly major use during Scarlet Spear! Not on the ground though. She was one of very few frames at the time that could generate massive amounts of energy orbs with her 4, which the necramechs needed in space to abuse Guard mode/arquebex because barely anyone had a half decent mech build at the time and that was one of VERY few ways to clear out objectives fast enough to keep the meter running. This is the only time in my entire warframe career I used her 4, and Im a damn Hildryn main.

[@BenMaguireLONEWOLF9989]

We don't talk about Scarlet Spear. No one talks about Scarlet Spear. Do you see ANYONE walking around with a Ceti Lecera or a Basmu? No, because we all want to forget about that mess.

[@Haaton-of-the-Basement]

@@BenMaguireLONEWOLF9989 To even think at some point Scarlet Spear had a fricking timer for the next SCARLET SPEAR event.

[@111kino]

Lavos is easily the most unique warframe in the game but Hildren is 2nd. A really good buff and appropriate change to Aegis Storm is actually giving her another balefire because as of now, it's only a visual change with no damage boost whatsoever. Another one would be decoupling her height requirement and letting her actually hover like a helicopter and letting you "sprint" during. Her base kit is incredibly solid tho with no need for gimmicks to make strong work of and only seems to keep getting better as warframe's general power keeps creeping up even if she's not directly touched somehow

[@TheRCTAddict]

yeah, things like Archon Vitality doubling procs from Blazing Pillage manage to push her higher and higher. I'm wondering what crazy stuff Duviri will give her access to synergy-wise.

As a now Hyldrin main, I can understand why people find thermia farming boring, but I didn't know before that you only have to place canisters one at a time, that would've been a worse if they didn't add that feature where you can now place all 4 canisters at once. Sheild SNU SNU is definitely worth it if you invest your time with her. Prime or not Hildryn definitely can help you tank longer.

9:50 the fact that a game that had an inbuilt system to DDoS the entire server, in an always online game, was popular still baffles me.

[@RBRSC]

To add to the data hash scanning. I was on I think my 3rd year of Warframe, and had LITERALLY NO IDEA THAT WAS A THING. Sure I'd see Reddit talking about the hashs in terms that meant nothing to me and assumed it was some AR promo or something, but literally it was not mentioned anywhere ingame, only (I'm assuming) on a devstream.). So most players didn't even know this existed and the odds of seeing those little pads while otherwise doing things in the Vallis was basically non-existent. Also yeah, poor Inaros, he just keeps sinking further and further down. Last I ran the math he's 5th ranking eHP tank, or even 8th if we count Nezha, Yareli and Rhino using their abilities. And even that is assuming someone is choosing to tank with just eHP vs DR or Invulnerability powers. (If you're curious, #1 eHP is Wukong, that bonus 150% from his passive lets him sneak up lol.)

[@hom-sha-bom]

Opticor Vandal is not a side-grade. It has 40% increased burst DPS, higher status chance, and a higher slash weight for more bleed procs. And don't say "at the time" it's current stats are identical to the stats it had on release and in that clip. And the regular version hasn't been changed either, aside from the changes that happened to all weapons (no self damage, radial lower fall off for both of them, ammo changes, and aoe's not counting as head shots)

[@NovaUmbral]

This was before we had galvanized mods, weapon arcanes and subsumes, on a technical level yea it is a direct upgrade, but the point wasn't really because of its stats, people like opticor because its a heavy hitting meme damage laser gun. Vandal was frustrating for many players because it took away that fun factor of Opticor and made a sideways overhaul to be more fire rate and crit focused instead of raw damage. The Vandal improves the opticor by taking away its main attribute and appeal.

they showed up in packs a lot for me in the first few days but now I can barely get anything other than the Lith (Systems) relics to drop from them. I did 12 rounds of Mars disruption tonight and only got the Chassis relic to drop once in that time...definitely a tad suspect.

[@NeuralSensei]

I found interesting strat for endless helicopter mom, use the 1 augment and the raksa kubrow, with some efficiency and duration you won't even need the arcanes to get full shields and the bale fire gives overhsields. Maybe they tested the augments way before releases and it's why they forbid the use of pillage in the 4. Unaugmenthed hildryn would be a lot more sustainable of she could cast pillage with 1/3 the benefits and use secondaries while flying. Zephyr doesnt have those limitations anyway. One thing I dont know of archon shard energy orb efficiency helps her or not.

[@ryuku2]

I would say a second downside to Hyldren is how wide she is meaning weapons with higher zoom makes her take up 1/3rd of the screen.

[@zenerstorm95]

I don't know if this my brain being stupid or its the dementia kicking in, but I swear that on consoles players were able to farm for Hildryn before she was even released. I remember owning Hildryn before the update even hit because I farmed for her.

[@holonholon1141]

Alongside firing full charged shots for the cost of un-charged shots to actually be synergistic. I think that alone would be good enough to make her 4 usable since you can already have 11 seconds of free aegis storm with aegis and ocassional barrier proc.

[@polkkakoira]

tl;dr rant: You can subsume any ability from Hildryn except pillage without affecting her gameplay. Aegis storm is a bad ability that the game doesn't want you to use. I've been a hardcore Hildryn main since its launch and at this point her entire kit is pillage imo. Balefire is the 2nd best ability on her, being able to dish out good damage even in steel path after you stip shields and armor with pillage but it doesn't even compete with just using your primary, hence why it feels so sluggish to use especially in aegis storm. It's good, but not great. I sometimes replace this ability with something else if I want to act more as an support. One pet peeve of mine is that since you as hildryn have overshields the majority of time on, balefire ragdolls and sends off enemies flying if they are not killed which is a problem. It's like sweeping dirt under a rug but the dirt isn't going anywhere so you have to try and sweep it away again... only for the dirt to end up back under the rug. Pillage is Hildryn. Just spam it and you can't die and you get free energy while you also strip the enemy of their defenses and you gain status immunity due to the clenace. As much as I love Haven's visuals, it's just an energy drain of an ability. The damage is negligible going past lvl 40 and the shield buff it provides is also quite negligible - though better now that shields block more damage than before - but on the contrary, it's not much and something I'd want to subsume away but I don't want to cause one more ability being a thing... Aegis storm. God I love how gorgeous this ability is, both visually and audibly. Too bad it really sucks. So many factors force you into not using it: 1. Cost. Aegis storm drains your shieds, fast. While it's lovely that it creates energy orbs, you as Hildryn don't benefit from said orbs. They only give you 25 shieds which are used in an instant during your ult. You can't cast your pillage during your ult so you got only 2 options: stop using aegis storm or use balefire surge, which while good in concept fails in execution. The cost of using aegis storm is increased by how many enemies you have so it's ill-adviced to use it near a big group of enemies, but also using it only for a couple of them isn't really efficient, slowing your gameplay down by quite a lot. 2. Mobility. God you are slow. You have a dash but god does it get really irritating having a dash be your only choice of ability. You cannot shoot with your balefire during the dash so you are stuck to the crawl speed if you want to shoot. And the dash ofc costs extra energy cause why not? Also there's a max height which is at lower altitude than bullet jumping straight up 3. Balefire. Why is there two cannons, when you only get the benefit of one? No damage boost, no fire rate boost. Nothing. 4. Damage. Ok it might tickle the enemy by a little but overall using aegis brings your average damage output to the ground. You are restricted to only use balefire, a slow shooting rocket launcher. But you can use balefire even without aegis, with more manuverability! The damage is the same as in Haven but it is not doubled by overshields and while in Aegis, you'll lose your overshieds in a matter of seconds. This makes the damage output twice as negligble as Haven's damage. The game really acts against using Aegis storm since it hinders your gameplay that can get with only the other abilites. Aegis is such a big nieche that I use it only to act as a bastille. Seriously. I stand still with aegis on near a defense objective with it on. Otherwise I'd be running around but you cannot run around with Aegis due to the energy restrictions, damage restrictions, and mobility restrictions. All that Aegis provides is bastille levels of CC (Heck, Vauban can move around during his bastille!) and random energy orb drops for your team. Hildryn's full kit would be beneficial on really early level but you get her so late that she just feels like a missed oppurtunity. Also the arcanes are just a neat thing to have and really don't affect on Hildryn's gameplay that much that you'd need them. They're nice to have but far from necessary. A quick note of her passive, everyone can have that one now thanks to the shield changes. Sure, not many will achieve those levels of shields but someone like Harrow and Styanax now both have Hildryn's passive. Yay :) I know that it's not in DE's priority or interest ad the moment to rework Hildryn, there are honestly other warframes that would really benefit from getting a rework more than hildryn. It's just that her ultimate ability is the weakest link to the point that you don't even want to use it. I really want her ultimate to be useful taken into notice how gorgeous the visuals are! Faster fire rate for balefire, faster flight speed (even if it has to come with an extra energy cost), better damage output. Due to how expensive aegis is to use, it would be lovely to be rewarded according to that expense. Or it could be just as it is as of now, but you could cast pillage during aegis. While less fun of an option, aegis would turn into something that the game doesn't force you out from using. Regardless, these are just my opinions and they could be biased taken into account that I have played only hildryn for over 2000 hours as of now. I just love her visuals, her SFX; she is just so cool but a hinderance to Warframe's gameplay. Now don't get me wrong, Hildryn is super strong, self-sufficient and a good support. That's one reason I have played her for so long, but over all, her kit wouldn't suffer at all from having all her abilities except Pillage removed. Rant over.
