Parasitic Armour actually has a niche. Exactly one. And that's Rhino. Rhino has pretty good shields base and the strength of his Iron Skin is based on his armour value. So what you can do is build a ton of shields, convert them into parasitic armour and then activate Iron Skin in order to get an unholy amount of Overguard. Niche, but not useless.

Best use of Empower that comes to mind is a hybrid Speed/Slow Nova, running around 50% STR for speeding the enemies a bit, with Madurai and Empower. If an "Oh Sh!t" situation happens, you double sling with operator and cast Empower, and now your Molecular prime has 140% STR for almost max slow on enemies. Still very niche, but it can be useful on certain scenarios, like doing Lich/Sister defense missions, speeding them a bit, and if Lich/Sis spawns, swap to slow to help with killing them or controlling enemies while you deal with them.

Great list! There are a couple of things I'd like to add: Dispensary is the best choice for the many duration-based builds, that have no range at all, but need a lot of energy, health or ammo. 400% power strength doubles its output and makes it also better than Energized munitions with some loadouts. For this I think it should be rated at least B. Silence can be used for fast leveling, since you get stealth multipliers. It's also great to get finisher kills, that you can boost 300% with the augment - also works with Ash, for example. Since it's the very best choice for some builds, I'd rate it at least B. Null star probably belongs in C, but can be useful for very specific builds. You need to have at least 300% duration for maximum damage reduction, and you need to use the augment Neutron Star to be able to refresh it. The augment gives the stars heat status, allows for a bit of shield gating, and using it to pop crates. If you infuse Eclipse on Nova, you can combine it with the Null Star for double protection and never die. Cold Elemental Ward has a special function, that works quite well in protecting you from and reflecting back enemy projectiles in high level content, while not needing range in your build. Maybe consider B-tier? There is one specific build with Quiver I've used to cheese many MR tests, Liches, Acolytes and SP Circuit runs: Mesa the invisible turret. You can make yourself permanently invisible, while using energy packs, operator and other abilities, just killing everyone on sight without them ever fighting back. For this use it's a clear A tier for me.

I have to strongly dissagree about Vaubans Tesla Nervos. It actually has unique applications for it. First off, you can throw up to 4 grenades for the price of one by simply holding the ability key a bit. But why would you want 4 grenades running around? Simple. They have aggro manipulation. If an enemy is within a certain radius of a grenade and you are outside the radius of the aggro, the enemy would start aiming at it... to no effect however course it's a non-damageable entity. Moreover, the electric status and damage are useful for Archon Stretch. Over time, the energy you get passively from the grenades is higher than the casting time and energy cost. Lastly, the Tesla Nervos have an augment that allows the grenades to store all damage that the enemy they are attached to receives and then discharge said damage in a small AoE. It works similar to Acid Shells on the Sobek and effects similar to it. All in all, this is a utility ability that is not S rank by any means but with enough "there" there to not be placed in D rank.

You should check out Electricy Elemental Ward Hildryn. Increases her shields and reflects damage allowing you to just tank to a ridiculous amount and reflect the damage back to enemies making them end themselves. With her armour strip in the mix, it can easily kill enemies and it's just a really neat build.

silence is clearly S tier, it trivializes anything in the game. silence disables any enemy ability you can think of, so any enemy becomes a "normal" enemy. on top of that the enemies are also confused and don't target you as much. it comes with high base duration and range, making it extremely viable on any frame.

Thanks for all your videos. Getting back into Warframe, and man feels like I have never played, LOL completely lost hahahaha
@leSmokySmoke7 ай бұрын
A list of everything I noticed that you did not mention or consider, at least not verbaly in the video: - Smite: Similar to volts shock, was used in the past with its augment to give you a massive damage bonus for radiation. However, since the change to nourish happened which also offers many other benefits, this has become pretty much obsolete in pretty much all cases. So C is still right. - Dark Verse: This has become VERY important to exactly nezha with his new augment. Giving a warframe that basically was only tanky the ability to wipe entire rooms in just a second. In my oipinion this is now as mandatory on nezha as is pillage on gyre for example to complete the frame. And by your definition of rankings, this than should be a B tier ability. it is also still very good on its own. - Fire Blast: not at all comparable to thermal Sunder, it has one specific niche, an that is on Warframes that do not go for strength or even have a bit of negative strength and still want to strip armor. On these frames where you dont go strength and also dont need defenses and have a good energy economy with preferably a good amount of range, you can simply and completely strip armor with this ability in just two casts. Making it a decent alternative and better in some sitatuion than Terrify or even pillage for example. so it is also a B, even if it is rarely used. -Shooting Gallery: Even without the augment it is capable of jamming enemy guns, providing a good bit of defense by itself. also to note, while it IS a damage increasing ability it can actually be subsumed onto warframes that already have a damage increasing ability, which is usually not possible. So it can be used for some fun stuff. I would still only give it a B or even C tier regardless, as it is heavily outclassed by MANY things. - Wrathful Advance: While it definitly is a damage increasing ability, its uses are fairly limited aswell, because you also want high strength, high duration for it to be fun, and frames that go for these stats, like mirage or revenant for example, usually opt for an armor strip. so it nichely used on Atlas for fun or other stuff, but very rarely optimal sadly. Also Melee has the problem that sometimes Melee simply doesnt work. thats why S is definitly to high, A I would understand more. - War Cry: this is NOT just a damage increase, and the reason I made this comment in the first place. You failed to mention that it also provides a very respectable armor increase. so on any frame with already decent armor, this can become a very powerful subsume if you like melee and beeing a beastly health tank, especially on frames or weapons that you want to hit very fast with to beging with, such as condition overload builds to apply alot of statues quickly and spread them around. and ever since they finally added the accessability option to simply hold your melee button to continue attacking this has become a very nice ability to use on many frames. definitly a B tier ability, because it is still outclassed often, but very fun on some frames for a cool build if you can go full melee. - Pillage: Just wanted to mention that you can always just reclick it to end it early to gain shields quickly. negative duration obviously also helps. so yeah, easily a top 3 ability. - Fractured Blast and Lycanth's Hunt: its simply not an A tier ability. there are just many easier ways to get health orbs than sacrificing a whole ability just for that. not sure if this is even a C tier ability. Nothing wrong with just beeing honest. And lycanth's hunt is even worse in basically all cases.. just benefiting melee is bad and/or just benefiting headshots in 2024 (lol) is also bad. There is no case I know of where this would ever be used, its a D tier ability.. it isn't even that good on Voruna herself, and the healing is not enough by itself to keep her alive, and it only fixes your energy economy on her thanks to equilibrium and you only keep it becasue her 4 is even worse. - Spectrorage: it was used in the past as an energy source / CC. but yes, it is also very much obsolete now. Still more usable than the other two abilities above thanks to the augment. C tier. - Dispensary: What? just, what? Im sorry, but this is more than just controversal and just wrong in this case. you have fricking fractured blast in A tier and this in C, this is something that is just wrong information here. I also definitly not like dispensary for many reasons, but it is clearly the better ability than all of the above in this category, THIS is the one that makes all the others obsolete IF you even ever want something like this. if you want a good equilibrium set up, THIS is the ability. it gives 100 healtpoint healthorbs, giving you infinity energy by itself with eq, and yes I still think it is only a B tier, but I think many would even put it in A. You CAN NOT have the others higher than this. - Silence: it also has two niches in fact, both of which you did not mention. With its augment it give a GIGANTIC finisher damage bonus so it is insane on these builds that go for finisher kills such as ash, and even though ash is still very meh right now, it does help him do insane damage. It can also be used to quickly farm xp as it gives a stealth multiplier to xp earned, so there is a niche way to quickly solo farm xp with silence. - Wyrd Scythes: Also simply not an A tier ability. At best it is a C tier, but it is pretty much so useless that I have to mention it. You even said it yourself, panzer vulp exists, as do many other viral spreading things. - Decoy: it has completely changed and is now VERY good, it is pretty much a better resonator now. VERY niche still, but CAN be used. IF you want an ability to break enemy AI, THIS is the ability to do it. - Terrify: You always want to use it with the augment if you can, unless you can also very quickly nuke directly after using it. otherwise enemies running away can be pretty obnoxious if you want to kill enemies quickly. - Null Star: thanks to the changes to eclipse this is now D tier. never use it. - Qorvex' pillar thing: I dont think there is ever a warframe that has the luxuary to never need anything else to justify getting this. simply a D tier ability. - Spellbind: its used for the CC imunity onyourself, not the CC on enemies, but yes, very pointless as many other above, simply replaced by prime surefooted. - Elemental Ward: it is pretty hilarious in starchart on hildryn as electric, it lets you just walk around a nuke every enemy you come across. still bad otherwise though xd And even though you can just be more honest with some other abilities that simply feel bad or are so outclassed they arent used at all, such a trinity's and garuda's Everything else is pretty much on point and right. :) good video!

I would advocate for fractured blast being better than despensary as it does not rely on duration AND strength and can get more value from simply damaging multiple enemies.

@@thatoneguy4584 but it is reliant on strength, especially as a helminth it just has a 25% chance. So If you have negative strength this Chance becomes very Low, meaning you have to hit alot of enemies, and you NEED to Run equilibrium to Turn These into Energy. Now hitting alot of enemies might Not be that difficult in Steel path, but in many modes there arent that many enemies, and relying on enemies for your abilities to work isnt all that great in General. Also, personally, I dont want to Spam a single ability over and over again Just to get Energy Back. When I need such an ability, I use it to Spam Something Else, so I dont want to need to Spam 2 Things, because that means I cant Spam the Thing I want to Spam. All versions of fractured blast I have seen or heard about are just gimmicky and Not really that good. Especially since there isnt a single Warframe that actually want any of These anymore. But Sure, If you dont have duration but you do have range, and you have a free modslot for eq, then maybe yes. But it still isnt very good.

Fire Blast is definitely underrated. It might not be a full strip like Terrify and its damage is pretty lousy but it's much larger range and I feel like with the upcoming armor changes, being able to nearly full strip an entire room will be incredibly valuable and is worth a lot more than a tiny written note at the beginning of the section.

I have some mixed feelings about the Helminth subsume system. On one hand, I appreciate the variety it adds to the game with all the possible crazy builds. On the other hand, I'm also the kind of player who cares about consistency, and I can't help but feel that it turns warframes into some kind of Frankenstein monster. For example, seeing all kinds of warframes doing the Grendel dance always makes me laugh and makes it hard for me to take the game seriously. :) That being said, I do use a couple of Helminth abilities. I like Gloom on my Garuda because I think it actually fits her kit pretty well, not only synergy-wise but also thematically. I also have a Lavos loadout with Golden Instinct to search for collectibles. Combining it with Ophidian Bite and Swift Bite allows me to use it more often without having to worry about running out of energy. As already mentioned by many people in the comments, Perspicacity really helps during the missions that have timers and don't allow you to use ciphers.

Protea's Dispensary is being undersold heavily here. For two reasons. First, the ammo packages are very unique. Other than the Helmnith ability, Dispensary is the only other way of keeping up the ammo hogs without investing into ammo mods or using a ton of Ammo Packs. As for the other reason: Dispensary is the absolute GOAT skill in Railjack. If there is one thing you should bring to a Railjack mission is a Protea or a Dispensary subsume. It really is on a league of it's own and makes the entire dogfight section of those missions a breeze.

The damage vulnerability is multiplicative with other vulnerability sources such as magnetize, reave, and final verse, and it’s the only other ability apart from xata’s whisper that lets you deal bonus damage to overguard-which lets you delete things like thrax at level cap.

C tiers for dispensary is a little rough. It is the only helminth that can consistently give you energy without needing any kill. In fact you need about 10 kills every 10 seconds to beat dispensary with others helminth like lycat hunt (all of that with equilibrium ofc). That might not seems hard to do especially in solo. But if you play in pub or in a lower enemy density mission, it can be harder to keep the energy flowing. For a khora for example i have a setup for high kills per min with like lycat hunt and a one for lower kpm with dispensary so that way i never encounter those hawkward moment where i don't have energy because there is not enough enemies. Ofc dispensary need you to pick the orbs at the location where you cast the ability but honestly if you have decent energy capacity and energy efficency you can still move a lot and get you energy 30s later.

My favorite is Silence because disabling every enemy's ability including eximus AND bosses ontop of having a stun is like a cheat code. Not to mention how it silences your weapons which is a lot stronger than you'd think. (Edit: forgot it also is really good for leveling because of the savage silence thing) Also it makes the game sound nicer imo.

I made an ash build where i decided to set my goal as to be able to instakill any enemy with a finisher, i did achive that, if an enemy can be finished, it just got deleted, and because the weapon is the arca titron, it gets charged with those kills, i then could just kill other enemies with that charge, it was working pretty well... And then i put marked for death on him, everything just dies if i finish an enemy, it works so damn well

Master's Summon is actually kinda interesting, as I recall seeing a really strange Mirage build that used it (don't remember how) to turn the Cedo's glaive into a dps tool

With the addition of Jade's Ophanim Eyes. I would add it to S tier. It's very strong even though it's altered to remove reviving allies from afar. It removes enemy armour, removes enemy shield, reduces enemy movement speed up to 90%, deals passive heat damage and has a long duration. With over 200 strength, it only takes 5 seconds to maximise the effect. With over 150 duration, it lasts for 3/4 of a minute. It's cheap to cast as well, 50 energy or 78 energy if using a Blind Rage mod. It's like a mix of Gloom, Pillage and Tharros Strike. Acolytes, Demolisher in Disruption missions, and Thumper Doma on Plains of Eidolon won't take long to defeat with this ability. I'm sure this will get nerfed in the future.

Nourish, pillage, and terrify are like the only ones I ever use on anything

Spectrorage with Vauban or Zephyr is afk gameplay. It works with Khora as well so I can't see why D. It increases energy drop rate and reduces the chance of your frame being targeted, solid A imo.
