Funnily enough the one slash warframe that was sorta buffed/remained the same was Garuda. Considering that her 1 scales off of enemy max health. And with enemies having more health she can now get more damage into her 1 to then throw. And her 4 is still just "get free slash procs whenever a marked enemy is damaged" so she can use all the changes to just deal out even beefier procs. For example with blast whenever it explodes it should apply to slash procs to the enemy and everything nearby.

[@jcatalyst1168]

Fully armor stripping doesn't hurt damage now btw, i feel like a lot of content creators are misunderstanding thinking that leaving some armor will give bonus damage to corrosive when in reality it will still do bonus damage to enemies health too. This was a huge change because now if someone armor strips, everyone just gains flat damage vs building to strip 98% was ideal before. That doesnt mean its essential of course, but if you have a frame like xaku and frost you shouldnt be able to grief your teammates damage on accident

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

True. What I meant was that I think it's better now to go for 98% with one Shard rather than wasting ine shard slot just for the additional 2%. You're right, leaving armor does no longer change the damage vulnerabilities 😉

[@jcatalyst1168]

[@user-jm8sy5ox2j]

As many people have said, most frames do so much damage that things like slash indirectly getting nerfed simply doesn't matter. Like yeah Kullervo and Dante need to do more damage with slash based DOT builds to kill enemies, but let's be real nobody runs kullervo 4 spam builds at enemy level ranges where it will matter and Dante slash builds were already in the dumps after the LOS nerf happened. The previous meta builds on those frames, such as kullervo heavy attack builds and Dante Noctua builds, are actually better than they were before due to the armor changes.

[@xZa_k]

[@lGhostWolfel]

One thing I feel like should've been mentioned is this makes viral alot more important too, there were alot of scenarios where I didn't need armor strip or viral just cause slash was so strong and it's own but now viral definitely makes a much larger impact than it previously did with things having more hp

It seems like there is one universal law of nature in warframe, at least in the six years I have been playing. Things get nerfed and things get buffed, and new mods, arcanes and mechanics are always tweaking things. Words that have NEVER come out of anyone’s mouth - “Saryn needs some more love from the devs”. But no matter what happens, even - one might say especially - when it has nothing to do with her directly, Saryn ALWAYS gets better! It’s just crazy! At this point I just have to laugh because we have had multiple of these just in the last year or so, including the time we got emerald archon shards AND melee influence in the same update. If there are warframe gods then Saryn is their pampered golden child. 😂

[@cayde-6502]

No ones saying that because Saryn is on top of the meta anyway while continuesly getting buffed and buffed for the few recent years now, its honestly ridiculous lmao

[@115zombies935]

Blast actually does blast damage 🤯

[@Crusadatron]

I think one frame that was missed in this video that was massively buffed is vauban. He already has scaling blast damage (photon strike) and 2 ways of pulling enemies in (minelayer and vortex), so the blast buff helps him a lot in photon strike builds. Especially if you can find a way to time the strike right while using a weapon that primes for blast quickly since photon strike has a delay between its casting and its actual effect. Also, the magnetic buff helps him deal with overguard enemies much better than before.

[@teamtyrannus4195]

Been having a lot of fun with the combination of blast and dante's pageflight ability. Big numbers everywhere 😊

[@Darkelan]

Now was a good time to try out Grendel. Never liked him before, but his rework and now this update, has made him fun to play. This update was genius. All the Warframes and weapons that needed a buff have one automatically, and the op ones haven't changed that much. Just less flat out killing.

Coming back to the game after a few years. Glad this video popped up

[@R4ZORLIGHT]

I am kinda glad, that Slash isn't a must anymore. Armor scaling was an issue for so many years. Now they have to tackle the enemies one hitting you...

[@c3ntravaswani427]

I think 3 big things that were missed in this vid are: - Magnetic proccing electric and having so many benefits has made modding for electric obsolete. There can situationally be reasons for you to use other damage types, but the only time to run electric is when your warframe has it innately and it can’t be changed, like Gyre or Volt. In fact, everything that elec builds into will be better than elec (corrosive is se vs grineer, magnetic mentioned already, even radiation is CC). - Physical damage types (impact, puncture, slash) are no longer resisted by ANY faction and are each super effective vs 2 factions. This has brought physical base weapons up to par with elemental weapons imo. - Viral is arguably even more important now than before, as the higher enemy health has made the damage multiplier far stronger vs all enemy types. Having a status primer with viral to supplement your build was and still is amazing.

[@matthewmartinez3550]

Magnetic needs shields/overguard, though. Unless you are fighting Corpus, everything else would seem too unreliable if you solely want to mod for Electric 2. Magnetic is far from useless, but I don't agree that it makes electric obsolete either.

[@vahnayasaki6989]

They should make IPS mods work like elemental mods so we can build into them more

[@Jaxza_Rip]

And then there is me walking around with Vauban throwing stuff and eliminating everyone lol. Love that guy

[@juestephan1701]

You forgot one big buff to magnetic. The bonus damage only was effective vs ~50% of the 'total health'. Because once the shields where depleted you did neutral damage at best and -50% at worst (vs alloy). While vs grineers corrosive would do its bonus vs 100% of their health (if not full stripped). And single high shield enemies like the hounds where so rare that you could just use your opperator to delete those instantly.

We needed slash to be less effective anyway. I was getting tired of weapons being considered good or bad just based on whether or not they did slash damage.

Something to note is that there are New Mods that assist you with DOTs!

[@christophbrrr350]

The full armor strip being worse is wrong since the rework makes it where weakness is simplified gringeer are weak to corrosive even without armor.

partial armor strip is viable not entirely better, what bro is trying to say is that it may be better to partial strip instead wasting time full stripping, run your test again but this time see how fast the enemy dies with partial or full strip

@sansomega6261 he says its preferable and meta most of the time and I agree that the difference with nearly full armour strip and full armor strip aren't gonna be much different full still gives higher damage since we keep the corrosive damage increase on fully striped and i agree that putting one touforged green is better than having 2 normal green shards I feel like it should be explained that full stripped enemies still take extra corrosive so builds that use frames that armor strip for them know they still get that corrosive damage bonus

[@xman9963]

So for those who like Dante here is a tip. Don't play him for nuke slash damage. I know it's crazy but here me out. Yes he still does good damage and if you want to go the direct nuke damage route you can (I would recommend remembering he nukes slash ,heat and toxin as well but keep in mind that he is caster frame and like say Nekros there is more than way he cam contribute in a unique way. TLDR: Dante is Incredible in a summoner role. Better than most because he doesn't require you to play against his strengths as a support or damage dealer. In fact it encourages both Think of this....... Go in with a companion to do finisher damage for you while you two run around a base assassinating the enemies. Call a Warframe to add more fire to your slash damage therefore increasing the nuking potential of your tragedy Let your pet handle all the buffing while you handle the debuffing of the enemy before shedding them like paper Or even Imagine feeling the battlefield with over 20 different pets. Completely overwhelming the enemy with sheer force. You are a literal army onto yourself. DANTE THE SUMMONER This style gives a load of future proofing and offers a style few people play. All the while playing into his strengths.. For starters almost every companion is a viable option when paired with this style and the bond mods. First grab the theorem infection arcane as well as the four residual arcanes. Then grab you at least four kitguns (2 primary and 2 secondary). I'll explain why for all this later. From here mix &match or grow as big as you like. Most of this you probably got just progressing through the game: Grab a bunch of syndicate spectres (of your choosing) depending on your need and style. Grab Clem and let him come out to play. Kahl and the boys stay ready for a fight. You can set up to 4 different Warframes as pets to aid you. Need Crowd control and Crit damage send in Frost. Looking for extra power strength Nidus will keep you connected. Tired of worrying about a primer Citrine will handle that. Want someone just to put in work while you handle something else....Gauss seems to be everywhere at once. Once you are set on your tenno spectres then you can turn your attention to the on call crew. While While Lichs are still limited (although they mentioned possible changes on that front) the other crew members are good to go I chose two. One whom I turned into a healer and the other for crit damage dealer they are only out for three minutes but a glorious minutes it is!! The special factor with the ONC is that they like you are able to use kitguns and create residual effects (which is why I said to get at least four kitguns and all four residual arcanes). With all combined you can create all four primary elements and combined them four whichever combo you want. This combination is then shared by the entire squad listed above. Even better yet is this damage continuous to scale with level. The possible squad configuration grows every time they release a new Warframes, weapon , mod or arcane. So why is Dante good at this... I mean frame could do what I've listed above.... Dante has a few things going for him. 1. He has a way to draw aggro from his other pets by summoning pageflight 2. He has enough defense to survive hanging back and observe the battle field to see which pet is best to summon. As well as sit in the residual circles in order to maximize their squad damage. 3. He has enough offense to wreck a room with little effort or thought. 4. Weapons are optional for him. Between all the ways he can be modded for damage he isn't pigeon holed into a certain weapon type and he therefore he has a completely open play style. Toss in that kitguns are by nature are built for modding you have a blank slate on what pet,range,pace, element etc. you want to focus on. 5. He is non committal unlike a Nekros who you have to pay a bit more attention to your shadow choices, Valkyr who is strongly pushed towards melee, Gauss who is best when moving or Saryn who is so pushed down the damage end that you could easily harm your pet damage or limit your own skill set. With Dante you have a way to focus on your squad (pets) without feeling like you are playing against your nature. In fact it could increase your offense, defense, energy, ammo and so forth. Final tip that is really important. Be on the phone lookout for any mod, arcane, ability or weapon effect that says it includes companions (I e. spectres or summons) these are invaluable and adds yet another level to your gameplay.

Thanks Blacky, definitely better than reading a patch note ! Those are good changes but we still have frames nobody cares about anymore which need rework. Lately, I feel like DE wants to hype the player base so they create OP frames which are all able to nuke and do a lot more stuff which starts to be tiring TBH. Warframe is more and more a hellfest of nukes which is less and less fun IMO, doesn't matter what mission type you select, you just nuke everything and that's it. I've been playing since 2014 and the more I look at it, the more I think DE is running straight into a wall with all their nukes. (that's probably why lately they included all those other gameplay modes like duvirii and playing Khal and whatnot to slow down massive kills which starts to ruin the game to prevent their downfall, most of their new content centers on other things than our OP frames like we get to play human Exca and Mag for the next big update, they even ruined the Railjack the same way)

Kullervo’s 4 used in conjunction with his 3 absolutely shreds enemies to be fair and the added combo counter is the icing on the cake for a big hit with his 1 + 12x combo with my paracises? (Can’t spell) I can hit upwards of 10mill+

[@StepMochi]

@@koreyclark5677 yea it "shreds" in non steel path. In steel path it's like watching someone slowly suffer to death instead of just ending them with one 3 + 1 combo. If it's only 10+mil I assume you don't use condition overload? The combo counter increase is the main thing of that ability. The damage is limited to 12 slashes and it's weak compared to the combo counter increase and what that achieves.

[@Bombasticburd]

I hope thy buff electric because as of now it looks like the worst elemental.

[@thskater1]

Kullervo can still nuke whole rooms 😂

[@lucashenrique3745]

Can you do a video explaining builds for Voruna? With these new changes she could be a new elemental melee queen. I mostly use her as melee frame, with Equilibrium and Arcane Strike I focus on her second and third skill the most, then quip her with my Prisma Ohma with a hybrid setup with a lot of atack speed Condition Overload of course and the new elemental damage mod are a great help, she's like Baruuk, but with more steps. I asking this, I don't see her much often, like, she release, was the talk of the town ( for obvious reason let's be honest), and then... nothing. I hope with this new elemental rework she can be as meta as the frames you listed in the video.✌

SLASH IS FINE play garuda its crazy

[@totiasd6712]

i was expecting for you to mention hildryn with blazing pillage when you were talking about heat warframes 😂

[@bmscarecrow.]

Magnetic has a small use case now, highly armored corpus. Since alloy armor is gone that means all armored corpus are weak to magnetic now. Most of the time that wont mean much but its definitely worth remembering.

[@xTSxVCR]

Ash’s fourth got nerfed hard

[@DYESIX]

it feels so soooo bad now fr

[@anish4976]

w changes, pls make a new zephyr and protea meta/buffed build if u can ur guides are insane

[@gavingraham6139]

my current fav is corrosive cold exalted blade 1 tau green for 13 stacks just melts everything

[@AerForz1]

Dante is a demigod if you-get this- build around his Noctua now. I'm disnitegrating Jade Eximi with my stat primer-crit hybrid build

[@Zeratuhl]

Yeah, a Dante with high efficiency and arcanes to boost Noctua will annihilate elite archimedea better than ever before. I've even removed nekros' armor strip that I previously had on him because it's no longer necessary. Noctua completely trivializes it and everything dies in one burst including the eximus units. Elite necramechs are the only things that can survive more than half a second and they still go down in a few seconds anyway.

[@Kratos-im4pc]

@@Zeratuhlwhat build are you using?

[@Zeratuhl]

@@Kratos-im4pc 175 efficiency, 199 strength, neutral duration and range. Arcane Precision and arcane Velocity on Dante for damage and fire rate. 3 tauforged topaz shards for 225% bonus crit chance. Optional archon vitality to double up on heat procs, but I'm not currently using it. Noctua is set up with accelerated isotope, primed heated charge and scorch for rad/heat, then primed pistol gambit and target cracker for crit, galvanized diffusion and lethal torrent for multishot/fire rate and a hornet strike for some base damage (can replace this with faction mod, but it's fine either way). Companion is Helios Prime (completely unnecessary, I just use it for free codex scans) equipped with Verglas modded for heat/viral, some multishot and fire rate as primer and supplemental damage. Since Noctua does literally millions of damage (1.3m per alt fire shot before stacking multishot from galvanized diffusion, before building crit chance, before damage vulnerability calculation and before viral stacks, easily hitting for tens of millions when fully buffed) his reduced ability slash damage is kind of a nonissue as everything just dies and you have infinite energy/ammo with Noctua. If you want to make him truly goofy then you could subsume something like Xata's Whisper in place of his third ability.

[@Merczid]

@@Zeratuhl Finally someone else who sees the Noctua for the power house it is. I have ignored duration, and built around Noctua+overguard and some tragedy sprinkled in between. It seems so strange when people helminth over this ability. With the vome invocation you also get 60% strength increase practically indefinitely. Wanting there to spawn in more enemies in a 300+ level mission is kind of absurd, haha.

Coming back after years, thx for info. Subscribed!

So is Viral and Slash still a good combo?

[@MsBabyElla]

slash is broken currently.

[@b-17theflyingfortress]

Due to recent bugs, slash is still kinda broken sadly....

[@ryoougi9088]

in my experience coro/blast, coro/cold deals more dmg, but viral/slash deals more on necramwch sp so

[@koreyclark5677]

Question for you, so for excalibro’s if we mod our exalted blade with the mod that changes the colour to represent our elemental damage (chromatic blade?) would you recommend a heat or cold build? With a high status chance?

[@zenorasdark9292]

personally i would prob go with the cold, for the perma freeze, since you can use a combo Build and get insane red crits, which cold would make alot stronger

[@koreyclark5677]

@@zenorasdark9292 ahhh yeah I was thinking heat/corrosive for armour strip but that makes sense

[@strix460]

Throwing frost under the bus like that even after pull can now affect frozen enemies is wild

[@MrMuziekman]

the armor changes made so manny frames viable again aswell,still have to do some proper playtesting with new builds(just rocking my old ones for now)but untill i get all the arcanes from the event i wont be doing it yet sinc emy old builds still slaying

[@Idiastan]

So... That means that Equinox is even less viable now due to that change to slash?

[@nxctis]

Are you going to make an updated video talking abt the best primary, secondary and melee weapons for early/mid/late game? Assuming that early game is going through the main story. And mid game is completing all of the nodes on the star chart and unlocking steel path. And late game is going through steel path and everything above.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

I am considering it, but I think the weapon choices won't change all that much. Maybe a few Mods here and there but I'm not sure if it's enough to justify redoing all these vids ;)

[@nxctis]

@@MHBlacky_ENG fairs, I'll just go off ur more recent ones :)

[@nikolaip2]

I always thought early Game was full star chart. Mid Game syndicates and open worlds and late Game eidolons and steel path.

[@nxctis]

@@nikolaip2 Yh just depends on how u perceive it. I personally believe tht early game is completing the tutorial. And it feels like the whole of main story quests are like the tutorial. Then all content after tht is mid/late game.

[@rosshaikenleonen1416]

I just tried Gauss. He's unbelievable stronger now. the Heat Procs, Immediately, I can tell is stronger because I didn't even have to use blast and the enemies are dying, before, they wouldn't. I'm just spamming heat now and it's clearing the room. Then I tried it on Simulacrum with 0% Battery without redline, it still kills heavy gunner units, although it needs more casts. 10 casts at 0% battery 40% strength. 5 casts on full battery 40% strength. You don't need to trigger the blast anymore. *With Archon Vitality I tried this with Garuda and Garuda's is still way weaker, but it's still stronger than before.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Hahaha that's what I'm talking about :D

[@yomanwtfisthisshit]

Gauss Thermal was leagues over Helminth versions since the change to it months ago. You could spam heat and clean rooms with it before Jade shadows, nothing changed in that regard, sure Heavies now tick out a bit faster with only Heat but actually combining Thermal sunders is still much quicker and there is no improvement there.

[@swindlewindle5373]

will the long lost nyx mains never get a buff its another sad year to be a nyx fan :(

[@vrika4280]

Yeah she feels outdated, I remember she was good on the old Orokin defense missions.

[@imotje]

your math is not adding up my man. Health increased so yes, it takes longer to kill with bleed, however what you forget to account for is that the same increase counts for all sorts of damage. when comparing fire DOT to bleed you are comparing an elements that ignores 50% armor vs one that ignores 100% of the armor unless the enemy has 0 armor bleed will always be better. Furthermore fire alone used to reduce the enemy's armor netting you a maximum of 15% dmg increase against and 2.66% increase against level cap changed to 15% at minimum level and 8.18% vs level cap enemies. That is a 5.52% increase at best while the enemy health went up. Bleed still ignores 100% armor. What they did here is bring fire from a 3/10 to a 4/10 and nerfed bleed from a 10/10 to a 9.5/10.

[@hwystar_4584]

So input 2 toxin damage touforged on my saryn and I'm gutting HUGE damage increase. I haven't gotten less than 70% damage since doing it...but I don't understand why it does more over the corrosive stacks. Was wondering if you could examine it yourself and just comment on your findings.
