Qorvex - A Literal NUKE Frame! | Warframe

[@TheKengineer]

Why didn't I talk about the 1+4 combo? Here's why clips.twitch.tv/AwkwardColdbloodedHorseradishCoolStoryBro-FfkWsM26maopYcSy

[@digitalgabeg]

In response to your clip: the main benefit to 1+4 is not the 5 seconds of doubled damage from the pillar. While the pillar is empowered with Qorvex's 4, the pillar's pulses also inflict volatile status. This is helpful to apply volatile to enemies you can't see and might not even know are there, and without the need to run the beam over each of them. If you put a pillar near a defense target, you can wipe out everyone nearby from a good distance away just by slapping the pillar with your 4.

[@TsubasayaYami]

Always deemed you more of a science-y channel in the context of warframe If you just start omitting information like that you start loosing credibility and the unique approach that this channel has for tackling practial problems At least just including a short mention, like the clip, in the video would've been a better solution in my eyes Though an optimal one would've been dissecting & explaining why this not a good way to play and doesn't seem to work as good as ppl say, if possible

[@TheKengineer]

LuigisPikachu - as you've chosen not to click through you clearly care more about sticking to your guns than being right. I have replied to your further comments elsewhere. Digitalbeg - Enemies exploding spreads the volatile effect, a pillar is not required for this. Its primary function is to spread radiation such that the enemis are eligible to become volatile and with more procs to feed into it. As the clip shows, hitting the pillar or not makes no real difference to the actual damage output - hitting anything that starts the chain reaction is sufficient. I'm sorry I did not anticipate how deeply held the belief is that striking the pillar is somehow that important when demonstrably it's not. TsubadayaYami - I omitted it only unaware of how deeply held the belief is that striking the pillar is necessary or substantially helpful. I do not keep up with memes or other creators' works to see what claims they are making, and thus don't spend time in videos dissecting such misunderstandings.

Genuinely thank you for the demonstration, and the maturity of your replies Ken

[@jonesy2975]

@@TheKengineer If you spawn enemies in the simulacrum and place the pillar right in front of the group, then fire the beam facing towards the pillar and away from the enemies, they still explode just as much as if you had hit them directly. Ive taken that to mean that the pillar propagates the beam's ability to explode enemies without having to hit them directly - very useful for exploding enemies not touched by the beam but still in the los of the pillar. So 1 + 4 = better range and aoe on starting chain reactions imo

One thing that wasn’t mentioned was the synergy between his first and last ability, if you strike his pillar with crucible blast all enemies in range of the tower that are applicable targets become primed with those explosions

[@TheKengineer]

I skipped that so as to avoid any misunderstanding that the pillars are particularly helpful there. A rad procced enemy will become part of the chain reaction regardless. Only if you beam a pillar yet don't beam any other enemies in explosion range would it matter, at which point it's more likely to be a suboptimally placed beam, pillar, or both.

[@VetriVade]

You can beam the pillar and then group enemies into it tho afterwards for missions like netracell. Seems like an oversight

[@Salsaa115]

@@TheKengineerThe beam doesn’t just immediately spread out the volatility. Hitting the pillars with his abilities will “overcharge” them, making them attack faster. However, if you hit it with his 4, it will not only overcharge it, but every pulse will inflict volatility, meaning more enemies over a wider area can be inflicted with it, along with more enemies entering the radius after you’ve finished using crucible blast. It’s nothing amazingly game breaking, but definitely a very helpful part of his kit that can additionally help in more stationary missions like survival or defense.

Something important to note about Qorvex's passive, is that punch through does NOT play well with a number of weapons, notably including most of the very popular explosion based weapons. Don't blindly use any weapon you like on Qorvex, because he will simply break some of them entirely, leaving you with no idea why your damage has suddenly dissapeared.

Thanks for the video. Two things I didn't see mentioned besides the Blast/Pillar interaction talked about in other comments: Pillar slow is small but works through Overguard...minor perk, but it's there. And Containment Walls don't seem to inflict their vulnerability on enemies immune to their CC. Eximus with Overguard up, Acolytes, and a few others are definitely immune. This really sucks, as these tend to be the enemies one would actually get the chance to see a vuln be beneficial...if it worked.

[@Voldrim359]

[@sealsealin9959]

One thing you have missed about the Pillars though: By either using Containment Wall or Crucible Blast on them, they become boosted, spamming more waves of radiation and doubling the slow down effect. You can put down one pillar, aim for it with Crucible Blast and then follow it up by targetting the enemies caught in the pillar's blast. Qorvex really brought two Elephant's Foot to stomp on the galaxy.

Striking the pillar does cause volatility to spread but worse than having an enemy explode on their own. Enemies exploding in good numbers will wipe themselves out already (as I showed), while striking a pillar even in perfect line of sight does not improve things. I omitted it so as not to mislead people into believing it was worth compromising their pillar placement for. Many tend to overexaggerate my inclusions or omissions - at this comment section shows.

[@kortelmaze]

Qorvex has honestly quickly become one of my favorite frames to play. I mostly do solo content, so I have plenty of enemies to kill on my own with chaining radiation procs. I've done regular 2-3 hour SP endurance runs with an umbral build and never had to try to stay alive, his defenses and crowd control were always more than enough to passively tank. He feels very refreshing as a not-totally-OP-frame-that-trivializes-content (cough, Kullervo) and a frame that can survive to high levels with only simple tech (adaptation +any form of healing) instead of shield-gating or overguard. And the sound design is sooo good.

I have demonstrated the (lack of) difference between hitting the pillar or skipping it here as many people seem to have been misled by others' beliefs. clips.twitch.tv/AwkwardColdbloodedHorseradishCoolStoryBro-FfkWsM26maopYcSy Placing the pillars for optimal radiation spread is more important than hitting them with the beam. Use enemies to spread the chain reaction.

[@theta-rx2]

as a reminder, you want to be using the 1 as much as possible to better spread the volatile effect since hitting it with the beam speeds up the pulses and makes every enemy hit by the pulse volatile. It is like night and day to his gameplay, and I would argue that it is THE most important part of it. It allows you to basically just shut down entire areas and say "if something walks here, its just dead", hell often times ill literally just shoot of my 4 at a pillar and canel it early to keep moving, without even having to aim at enemies at ALL. SUUUUPER important that you use that 1 and 4 combo as much as possible, it really does do wonders for him.

[@seanfisher7707]

Fun fact: Hitting the pillars with his 4 imbues the pulses from the pillars with the volatility aspect!

[@oichemarbh9802]

Thank you so much for this video, there has been an insane amount of misinformation and Qorvex slander since his release, this video is an amazing explanation of how he works with some really strong builds and good advice. For anyone else, don't feel like you *need* the armour strip just to make Qorvex work, the builds shown are very optimised, and that doesn't have to be what you pick if you have fun in other ways. While his Crucible Blast is less likely to kill very tough enemies in stuff like Steel Path, even Acolytes can get seriously hurt if you catch them in a blast, so don't feel like you need to use the strongest build to make Concrete Man work, he's strong enough that you can pick what you find most fun as well if that's for you!

[@nathancawley8759]

This is accurate, however if you play exclusively on SP and often see levels in the thousands you should absolutely have a way of dealing with armor. Otherwise you will be all damn day dealing with one eximus heavy gunner or Thrax unit. You wont die, but neither will they.

@@nathancawley8759i get what you mean, but I prefer not to think about it in terms of high endurance, as outside of Circuit, it takes literal hours to reach that level of enemy scaling, and I just don't feel that most players partake in that type of content. You are definitely correct, I just don't feel like most players need an armour strip in the content that they play, as someone who does play a majority of the time in SP, I don't encounter enemies scaling beyond levels where I can easily kill them without an armour strip. I just don't typically spend that amount of time in a single mission, and as far as I'm aware from talking to others, I don't *think* most people do either. You are correct though, when going for Endurance runs, an armour strip is necessary vs some enemies.

[@oichemarbh9802]

@@AMV_KINGDOM_mv I get your point, but I don't really encounter issues in content at Netracell levels, or entry SP Survival/Kuvival. My most used frames as of current are frames like Dagath and Qorvex, and even though I know a lot of people think that Dagath's 4 is weak, it just does damage with no status effect, and i find it able to kill Doomed enemies extremely easily in that kind of content. That's just a single example, of a single frame, but in general, when I play most frames, I never have any scaling issues at that level, I only encounter real problems related to damage or survivability when trying to kill Thrax or Eximus in long Circuit runs. Maybe there's an issue in your build, or there's something you're missing in your playstyle? If you'd like to share any of the issues you encounter in greater detail, whether they be specifically Qorvex related or not, I'd honestly like to help you with them.

[@stanman3192]

For a no energy single target strip you can go with latron incarnon and just build it purely to striple a target as fast as possible then use its normal form, or instead bring a vastilok that is using life strike and shattering impact

[@samuraiulcalacarte526]

The turning speed can be adjusted by either turning very fast or adjusting mouse sensibility . A more efficient build that can work with the tauforged topaz shard would be a 235% strength and about 145 range , in some cases the pillar can be used as a 1 way amplificator, by jumping in the middle of the enemies and using the pillar and then crucibal blast the enemies and the pillar. And the problem with the armor and shield would be better resolved with Pillage from hildryn ,since it's not a range base ,but more of a duration, and 2 seconds of pillage can cover pretty much enough for qurvex ,also it can be utiliezed as the 3rd ability since you can gain shield and you can also clear out any status effects, and can be quickly pressed just for that

[@Voldrim359]

I think i would prefer replace it more with terror from Nekros since it can slow them down too or the group up of Khora replacing his 2. It's mostly because his 3 ability is already immunity to status effect and also knockdowns, so you don't waste formas into primed footed. Another ability that people should consider is from Sevagoth so Qorvexx has self healing or nourish.

[@TheDodgeguy91]

I swapped his one for pillage, for armor strip and extra survivability. Only use umbral vitality and intensify and get to 200% strength, then use the extra space for energy management including arcanes. Never worry about energy and currently dont have any shards on him.

From what I’ve tested myself, if the group of enemies has enough targets in it, the volatility spread is completely self sufficient, to the point that turning off the beam immediately after hitting the group was only marginally slower than having the beam constantly fire into the group.

[@TheKengineer]

Caps aside, it pulses quicker and can spread volatility... for the same duration that volatility naturally spreads among the already rad procced, and no line of sight required, exploding enemies. That is not the major improvement you nor others make it out to be. It only helps in extremely low enemy count scenarios, at which point the nuke is being used wrong.

I've been enjoying Qorvex in Steel Path using the Rakta Dark Dagger with low shield recharge delay as my shield gate. I replaced his 4 with airburst for ground finishers on trash mobs, and use Amalgam Argonak Metal Augur with Gas/Electric and Melee Influence for AOE armor strip, and tennokai to open enemies to finishers instead of ground finishers.

Hey I know you responded to comments mentioning the synergy between his 1 and 4 already, but your response kinda sounds like there was a misunderstanding about its mechanics. Or hell, maybe everyone else is misunderstanding the mechanics, but if you hit a pillar with his 4, it'll cause the pillar's pulses to quicken and then spread the 4's volitility effect with each pulse for a pretty long duration. It's very useful to spread his 4's reach across many enemies, Triboros made a pretty good video showcasing this.

I think you should consider doing negative strength, I watched triburos' video and he showed that the 4th does basically the same dps at 100% and 300% strength. I took this idea and ran with it, with negative strength you can pump max range and decent duration and basically lock down a wide area with his 1 and 4 killing everything. Now personally I feel like primed sure footage is more consistent with knockdowns than his 3 so that was the ability I got rid of and found other ways of clearing status like pillage or rolling guard. His 2 DMG vulnerability also isn't great with how negative my strength is but I've noticed that I don't actually need it because his 4 does so much DMG when paired with his 1 which has allowed me to do multiple hours in SP survival. While I understand how strength helps him, personally I think it's his weakest stat by a mile so I like negative strength.

[@IDirtyMangoI]

okie dokie so I'm one of the few people who thinks 3 is his worst ability and I have some reasons why i think its his prime helminth option over 1 or 2. Firstly his 2 is a VERY unique CC/ grouping tool that is the only one in the game that makes best use of his Passive second his 1 is best used when you "connect the dots" meaning put one at each end of a hallway and fire 4 in a way that has enemies lined up between the 2 pillars. This lets him get the most from his slows and the 1 + 4 "synergy". So then the question is, since 3 is his main extra survival tool what do you put there? well the answer is very simple and is a far better version of Status Proc defense that actually has an additional effect of healing so powerful that you can only die via 1 shot damage. and that is Trinity's: Well of Life. It benefits massively from all the range and power Qorvex craves and with just a little bit of duration lasts plenty long enough to no flat out sap your energy reserves. The life steal gets proc'd on every tick from 1, every explosion from 4, the affected enemy is also a nexus for priming the chain reaction and the huge Status immunity field makes you immune to even knockdowns so Prime Sure footed gets booted opening a slot in your build.

[@JmD-126]

this came in perfectly as im trying to farm for him right now

[@TizonaAmanthia]

so, farrostrike for single target armorstrip. what are your feelings on pillage instead? I rather enjoy hildryn's though I suppose farrostrike is healing, where pillage is shields...but would that not offer him more shieldgating?

[@evolab8983]

I was thinking the same thing, plus it’s a status cleanse. The reason I think it’s not used here is the insane power requirement for a full strip. You’d have to use Pillage more than once to full strip difficult enemies.

[@Lanaestra]

​@@evolab8983Status cleanse is pretty negligible with Disometric Guard, though, and shields don't benefit from his extremely high armor stat so provide less tank than Health restore. Combine that with the fact that you really only need to strip priority targets since anything softer will get melted anyways and the recommendation makes sense.

[@TizonaAmanthia]

@@evolab8983 that could be, too.

[@fran13r]

What should I do if I don't want to subsume armor strip? I love all of qorvex abilities. The pillars look cool, the wall feels cool, the shield makes primed sure footed unnecessary to me and my team mates which is great (it also looks cool) and the ultimate ability is also cool. So... What do? Should I just use a corrosive spreading weapon with some emerald shards?

[@TheKengineer]

As stated in the video, use Unairu to armor strip or use a weapon to take out surviving heavy units.

[@stevenzeilinga5324]

Looks really 🎉 Thanks ken!

[@mikeyder344]

I got all the way to rank 4 with the cavia and never had a single piece drop drom bounties 😵‍💫

[@keroseno-po1pw]

i like a lot this WF i hope that the tennogen or the deluxe skin would be something like a HAZMAT suit and get any decent augment that boost the 4 or make ofensive other ability

[@snypa-ck7hn]

and yet again, why we enjoy Kengineers content

[@Jes9119]

I finished building and maxxing him a few days ago and he is to Warframe what the Doomguy is to Doom.

[@gogaschnitzel3222]

Can u do a Video about the archon mods and on wich frames theyre worth the slot?

[@johndoe-qn2mm]

I got 1 part drop and bought everything else. How far down the bell curve am I?

[@yusufk.celebi645]

Is it too much to ask for you to make the kullervo video again?

[@TheTundraTerror]

I honestly just skip using Umbral mods on him since it's a lot easier to Shieldgate with him using Cat Shields and Brief Respite. Since his abilities do Radiation which promote infighting for aggro relief, that massively helps. Combine with his 4 making him invulnerable when cast, it doesn't take that much effort. Only thing I wish DE changed was making his 2 feel less janky to use by letting range mods increase the width and making it move "forgiving" in it's verticality.

[@qvcybe]

btw i notice you never mention that flares work with powers that are connected to affinity range

[@gundamwarrior]

In terms of acquisition. I got screwed badly. I reached rank 5 in cavia before I got any parts from bounties. I wanted to reach rank 5 before i spent standing in the cavia for stuff inside of it and...yeesh. As far as his build goes. I prefer going with using precision intensify to boost his 4 while going basically nothing but range with only augur secrets and power drift with molt augmented to give some back up of power strength less.

[@NeuralSensei]

Me same I never saw a part drop from bounties but I don't main them cause netacells and archonn and kahl are the weekly priorities. I had to buy the whole duplicate set as well for subsume but I did that on max cavia rank.

[@reticenthope7022]

Qorvex is the first warframe I ever put umbra forma on so I can have the full set on.

[@Joe90h]

Maybe it's because I'm still running on the mighty beast that is the PS4 and don't have the enemy density where he shines, but I just haven't gotten along with him at all, sadly. I also hate the visuals of his 3, including when I am in a squad with Qorvex. Me bullet jumping around can cause this opaque ring to bounce up and down in my vision and I just know if he were more popular I'd run the risk of getting a headache.

[@yamnbam4346]

I love Qorvex- only thing I don’t like about him is his tanking ability. The armor isn’t enough for me- I hope he gets some form of DR in the future, or at least something that gives him better survivability.

[@noahedenborg4221]

cube scaling go MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM i really hope de makes his wall into a cone instead of just the budget berlin wall

[@FulfillMyWill]

You could use Precision Intensify, instead of Transient Fortitude to keep duration and have more Power Strength for his 4.

[@noahedenborg4221]

duration barely matters on qorvex

[@number1loser410]

I have one question and your the only one that can answer it is there a build or ever a good idea or fit to use HAMMER SHOT??????

[@noahedenborg4221]

yeah crit dmg it seemed pretty obvious to me

[@WillowLawson-k3e]

Weird question

[@blakrok6203]

audio glitch at 13:04

[@TheKengineer]

That's weird, it's not in my original audio. Thanks for the heads up

[@nyancat7511]

5 Amber shards makes him extremely silly

[@chrisfrancis4572]

You mean topaz?

[@nyancat7511]

I may be colorblind​@@chrisfrancis4572

[@UNGGodYT]

unpopular opinion, i use energy nexus almost in every frame, along with nourishment, no energy problems, small stun and damage increase . using the arcane reconstruct for cast= heal, very easy.

[@lesliethedragon3700]

Wait he came out 9 months ago?

[@4g3nt06]

Cedo with modded radiation makes Qorvex very fun.

[@punkghostsamurai]

Qorvex: IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZAH!!!!!!

[@bare_bear_hands]

Passive: 3 meters punch-through Wait a HOLY second there... You mean we finally have a warframe that boosts and synergizes with KUVA NUKOR, which is the best secondary gun bar none?

[@uberwarlocker]

Not right now, im playing qorvex. I GOTTA SAVE DA WORLD AND ALL ITS BATTERY POWAH.

[@Axalix27]

holy sweet jesus 92 shrill 42 bellow and 25 echo

[@dominiccolon3465]

I am the 1% I ranked up to 5, never got a single part of qorvex. Had to buy everything with standing. I did all ranked bounties x25 at a minimum

[@ThePopeOfAwesomeness]

The MIGHTY SEER is my favourite nuke

[@hpoonis2010]

PROC PROC PROC PROC. What is proc? Short for what? I am guessing (as I can think of no suitable word beginning prock) that it is some word like process...not procK but prohs.

[@noahedenborg4221]

proc = hitting a status effect on a target

[@TheKengineer]

Proc is short for Special Procedure. It is a well established gaming term referring to an additional effect applied in addition to the main function of something. For example, a status proc is an additional effect usually applied alongside damage. Proc may also be used as a verb to mean that such an effect has been triggered (eg "If you proc the effect..."). A Radiation Proc in Warframe is the additional effect of radiation - I cover such effects in my elements guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKCVcnaJnKaLfpo You may also come across some people claiming it means Programmed Random OCcurrence. That is a backronym and not the actual meaning.

[@steampunkheart6530]

Very informative, now I know why his 1 setup as overlapping zones does next to nothing while stacking Oberon's Hallowed Reckoning kills relatively effortlessly. That said, I will never understand why videos like this insist on health builds, shield-gate both has no falloff and frees up mod slots on most (not all) frames. Preference I guess, but as far as frame optimization goes, health tanking is the worst way to build any frame objectively speaking
