Zephyr is just the goat. Carried me all through steel path.

[@archangelvenus]

So true, I mained Zephyr throughout the base star chart and never moved to steel path since I don't like shield gating. Then one day it just clicked and I realized "Oh, I'm Zephyr", then pressed 3 and flew through the whole thing. Slap rolling gaurd on that bird and don't touch the ground, you're never taking damage.

[@lastbork8823]

Maroo about to raid your ship with that many ayatan sculptures

[@nahuelferreyra]

Here we go again, is another shy situation, let's hope that if DE sees this they don't go nuts like the last time.

[@spookipants]

I do believe that having a single mod be this powerful is maybe a little too strong, but realistically there are a lot of interactions in the game that scale at the same rate, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to remove one when so many others exist.

[@nahuelferreyra]

@@spookipants yet they have done it before, in cases like these DE always misses the point.

[@Vrais23]

I don't think this is something to nerf or look into. It's obviously a mechanic intended with Zephyr's tornadoes.

[@SillySpaceMonkey]

​@@Vrais23 exactly. Warframe is now a game about how to get the most and biggest circles to interact with each other. Fun times

[@Metophobia]

@@nahuelferreyra old DE, sure, but Rebbframe team really doesn't nerf very often or fix things like this very often. the mindset of expecting nerfs for things like this is fairly outdated, and the only time in recent memory DE did anything to rein things in was the Nezha augment (which they mostly went back on immediately) and the Dante changes (which left Dante still remarkably strong, but fixed the problem of Dante being the All-Frame). this is also just a matter of intended mechanics, and you could get similar effects elsewhere just as easily.

[@KrAceZ-z9r]

Zephyr is fucking busted in so many ways and I love that no one really plays her still. It's like the Octavia effect lol

[@raz802]

Octavia is a really strong frame. And that's why I find her boring.

[@erichdegurechaff9515]

I think the "problem" is that you have to stay still, just like Octavia. You cant run the mission, you need to stay in a single place. So in the end only the people that you play endless mission for some time will use it.

[@meesteranonymous8177]

​@@erichdegurechaff9515zephyr raigeki build aka bomber

[@ML7WL]

Octavia can be a visual AND auditory hazard to the squad and to yourself. Zephyr is way more forgiving...still, the coolest aspect on her is to go 🛩 mode, wich is not very suited for the narrow corridors on most missions...aaaand in open maps before we had archwings that were faster, and now we have teleport pads. So... 🤷‍♂️. Yes, she has many damage/utility interactions on her kit...as many frames also do...

[@Ecksplisit]

Octavia does it all. Infinite scaling damage, permanent refreshable invisibility, multishot buff, melee dmg buff, armor + mspd buff. And all those buffs can be used by the entire team. All on top of being insanely easy to play. Just press the button and play to the beat. Which is probably E1M1 from doom with a repeating bass that anyone can synchronize to. Zephyr can CC and deal lots of damage, like many other frames. Octavia and zephyr are simply not comparable.

[@AlexNovakim]

Thanks for the video, it makes steel path seem less daunting

[@BoIaños]

bruh I almost fell asleep while watching your vid it's feels like I'm in a math class

[@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT]

[@Spacecowboyable]

Only who helps others goes in fourth dimension

[@TruxtonII]

Voltaic Strike being Baro Only (And 50 plat on the market) doesn't really make it most accessible, though. You can replicate this with Shocking Touch and Melee Prowess, though I wonder how far you could carry it with just Shocking Touch alone.

[@spookipants]

yea i really just used the 60/60 mod because of the status but really any electricity mod works

[@thekingfukuro3727]

[@Kyomu13]

I recommend riven sliver farming and heading to Iron Wake on a weekly basis to get the 2 rivens Palladino offer. You can either make enough plat from selling to buy a VS. Or you may just find someone who will trade you one for the riven itself.

[@namtony9999]

[@blood8273]

as a verteran, I not surprised to see Zephyr here

[@-CrySa-]

Just a note that with a single tauforged green shard you can strip max armor enemies to where they only have about 13% damage reduction so the two shards are not completely necessary, useful to know if you could use the shard space in your build.

[@dontdoitdan7965]

Finally, someone acknowledging how stupid status duration rivens can be with a good setup.

[@majesticbbqsauce727]

In this example, you also need to be lucky enough to see Baro XD

[@Surr3alD3sign]

"Lucky enough" he comes around EVERY 2 weeks bruh, luck has nothing to do with seeing him. Just what he carries

[@richardvld]

Don't you know warframe market? The easiest thing is to farm platinum and buy what you need there.

[@__Junioor__]

same goes for mag, press 2 and 3 and watch enemies get 100+ stacks of slash

[@rivershen8954]

1:20 youre wrong. Melee Influence actually has a 20% chance on electricity status effect to give you a buff. This buff is what allows your melee to apply all elemental statuses on all enemies in a radius for a few seconds Edit: as proof you can just look at the top right of your screen. YOU gain the melee influence buff, and thats when you actually apply elemental status in an area. Enemies dont apply it themselves like you said

[@spookipants]

I generalized the statement and said it in a different way so its easier for the average viewer to understand it.

[@rivershen8954]

@@spookipants except how you say it means completely differently and will cause confusion for the viewers. The arcane's description was confusing enough. Calling it a buff that makes your melee attacks basically a 20m radius is easier to understand and its literally how it works a

[@spookipants]

I believe you are wrong

[@Ғя2.0]

hey sick to see i'm not the only one enjoying this mechanic

[@benhurzz]

this is why Zephyr is the goat 🗣️

[@mafiarandom7693]

My friend sent me this video : "Some more Zephyr Shenanigans" I am having PTSD from using synapse and electricity on almost all steel path rn

[@maximumeffort6049]

I used Zephyr through all my SP outside of interception, which i used Khora. Tornadoes for melee and turbulence for range makes you pretty hard to kill. Also used Amprex for most of steel path too.

[@alexisF1031]

yep. Melee influence is insane. At some point in time I thought they were gonna change it, or at least patch the 3 times application of faction damage they have not and now it is a super accessible mega nuke option - that is probably here to stay I personally use the xoris. I wouldn’t recommend a one mod build like this to anyone, just due to glaive wind up speed but yes. Melee influence is insane and has made it so people barely out of the campaign can nuke harder than most people in most steel path missions/other end game content that I play with. I don’t think I even have my xoris maxed out - I just threw something together, and it nukes lol

[@prxdgyplays8785]

I started in February and I just accepted the fact that it will genuinely take me a couple years to get to this level of jus absolute destruction

[@crestfallensunbro6001]

you could also do something similar to this with any infinate puchthough weapon like the fulmin, most of the strength of this is zepher tbh

[@kandihustty5610]

"and this Riven" lol. You could honestly skip the Voltaic strike and throw Volts 1 on any warframe (with the augment mod) and bam, you have on demand lightning mega death, as long as the melee weapon has no element or has a prebuilt combined element (and you have melee influence). Which can be put on the Zenistar as long as you make it blast or gas first, Cast Shock Trooper and that Arcane will do the rest. it's just a goofy little build, but is quite devastating if you can set it up.

[@dylankeen3618]

Zephyrs tail wind augment can scale indefinitely

[@lexo632]

What the death by 1000 cuts?!

[@Yeshua9596]

Went to maroo's bazaar, game loaded me onto this guys ship.

[@danieldan7713]

i dont understand the maths at 2:02; why does it scale with enemy^2 and not with (damage per enemy)^(enemy amount)?

[@spookipants]

It’s technically more like numEnemies^2 + damage but we don’t really care about the last part because it doesn’t change the scaling. The damage to each enemy is done by the number of incoming procs which is determined by the number of enemies. Try this: for every number 1-10, print the numbers 1-10. You will see it is x^2

[@dillydilly2886]

Because this is warframe and no one truly knows how the math behind anything works

[@gj8622]

If I'm not mistaken, and I'm sorry if you said this and I skimmed, the electric proc zephyr tornado interaction only works when you are host. Unless melee influence fixes that problem.

[@spookipants]

I’m not sure. I do know there are a lot of host/client issues with damage after the rework though.

[@gj8622]

@@spookipants This particular interaction has been in the game for a long time as far as I know. It works without influence really well with primary beam weapons. When I intend to do this funny, I use amprex with full electricity and fire rate.

[@AlexanderVolzing]

really cool interaction, but I assume DE will probably change how this functions soon. I find it admirable how players manage to figure these things out

Isn't adding 1 tauforged green shard now is more preferable after armor nerf on current patch?

[@spookipants]

you still need +4 stacks to fully strip, and damage to fully stripped enemies is higher

[@AnubisMRM]

Cool, but how do we apply this to a weapon for those who don't want to play with Zephyr? I'm struggling with Wisp and my Cedo on Steel Path.

[@spookipants]

This interaction is zephyr only. There are a lot of x^2 scaling interactions and some faster. I’ve thought about making videos on them.

[@maximumeffort6049]

If you are struggling with wisp and cedo then don't use wisp and cedo. There are plenty of frames and weps than can do SP. Wisp can for sure although I'm not too familiar with cedo so maybe try changing weapons.

[@JohnApex69]

Have you seen the one shot harmony build where you just heavy attack and it dose huge numbers? Would that make this better?

[@mortibus]

This isnt exclusive to melee influence, its just zephyrs tornado. This is a mechanic called 'Crit Recursion' the youtuber @Kiocifer did a video on this and many other zephyr things

[@spookipants]

This has nothing to do with crits apart from the scaling of the DOT's and it doesnt use recursion at all so Im a little confused why you would call it that. If it was recursion the scaling would look like 2^x. Also you can get a watered down version of this with just grouping the enemies together and then hitting them all at once with the melee.
