Understanding Limbo | Warframe

This is not a build video. It is simply a video giving my knowledge of limbo after playing as him for many years.

[@oriondezagrats4228]

It was not mentioned, but A GREAT MANY WARFRAME ABILITIES IGNORE RIFT STATE ENTIRELY. This is intentional. Banished allies that rely on abilities to kill or CC can quite commonly do so whilst functionally invincible, and if enemies are banished to the Rift, but you are not, your abilities can still reach them. The number of exceptions to this rule are very small, and basically only Ivara's Artemis Bow is treated like a normal weapon. Most other exalted weapons, like Valkyr's Talons or Exalted Blade function as normal. Even Mesa's Peacemakers care not for the distinction. Additionally, it should be mentioned that while Overguard allows for some units to traverse freely in rift space, and Eximus abilities mimic Warframe abilities in being cross-plane, Eximus WEAPONS ARE STILL AFFECTED BY STASIS, AND THEY CANNOT SHOOT YOU WITH THEIR GUNS. If you cannot reliably deal with Eximus abilities, such as dodging a bit too slowly or zoning out or frequently getting caught off-guard, the solver for this is Banshee's Silence, which can be infused onto Limbo via the Helminth system, and Eximus will return to being helpless babies, simply walking in your general vicinity but being unable to harm you.

[@Wooskii1]

Good info! I pretty much gave up trying to learn limbo after the Eximus rework cause let's face it, it's their abilities that get you killed be it a knockdown from an arson unit, dot proc, or magnet. I think I'll try a silence build for SP and Archon excavation. Thanks.

[@funboy221]

This right here is one of the biggest misunderstandings about Limbo.

[@princesscadance197]

So few people know this, that I was once playing the Plague Star bounties, and I told our pub Mesa that Peacemaker is not affected by the Rift, because I think they were somewhat new to the game, and as such, constantly being dropped by the mobs, that from that point on, whenever I'd pop Stasis then Cataclysm, they'd immediately beeline to it to Peacemaker. No matter where I decided to drop my Cataclysm, the Mesa would immediately run for it. I was running a minimum range maximum duration build, so my Cataclysm was tiny, and lasted well over a minute and a half. Every time I placed it down, our Mesa ran for it.

[@sushibanana4070]

Best explanation. When I got limbo I had no clue how his abilities work and how to survive as him but after watching your video and experimenting with the rift he is easily one of my favourite warframes

[@VetriVade]

Limbo main here! My tips: Dont be afraid to cast alot Many limbo use cataclysm and then they sit. Limbo has alot of energy gain, dont be afraid to cast and close cataclysm frequently when the need arises. Limbos specialty is control over the battle field, use cataclysm as a tool divide and conquer instead of as a camping tent. It also helps ur rando drooling teammates who dont understand limbo. They won't have to move or change their playstyle if the cataclysm is strategically placed and removed. If you use 4 as a tent they have to move in and around the tent or ability spam and lets face it, ur teammates are not going to change their playstyle for you they will just disconect or say "limbo diff"

[@doctorgami4541]

i have a question is there a build that my cataclysme like a nuke i use cataclisme a lote and i fond out that it kill most target because when cataclysme become shorter and he become small enemy become out of rift then they try kill u soo they enter rift again and everytime they do that they get damaged by the 4rd ability of limbo in enemy that are lev 30-40 i feel like cataclysme is almost enought to kill them if u using a mod for ability power

[@gundahveritum6871]

@@doctorgami4541 they nerfed cataclysm years ago it can’t nuke anymore the best build out right now is the breach surge one with the rift torrent augment build for like 190% range around 200+% power with molt augmented cast your 4th then cast your 2nd and 3rd and deal billions of dmg don’t forget to cast breach surge lol this build utilises all 4 of his abilities with the exception of removing his 1st and adding breach surge that’s how I run him I also have a ensnare build with max range for total cc I cast ensnare when I’m in the rift so I’m practically invincible then I leave the rift kill the enemies and quickly rift back to the plane

[@grayghost5636]

You can also unbanish everything in the rift by holding banish (excluding cataclysm) which can trigger rift surge’s radial banish, allowing you to spread it whilst in the rift

[@doGInVain]

Why should they change how they play for one person lol

[@babapambazuka2845]

I will agree that a Limbo in a pub squad is MUCH more tolerable when the player has put some critical consideration into actively managing the size and duration of Cataclysm bubbles, but I rarely see LiMbO mAiNS who are actually that good due to the EZ mode crutch this frame is predominantly abused as.

[@kevingriffith6011]

The two biggest problems that keep making Limbo so frustrating to play against all come down to the same thing: the game doesn't communicate what's going on with Limbo's abilities well enough. Good example: Do you know how many effects/zones in the game either have a yellow shift by default or add a color overlay? In the chaos of all the stuff going on in Warframe it can be *very* easy to miss that you're either in the rift when you don't want to be, or out of the rift when you want to be in the rift... and I think this is easy to solve while also solving another major issue with Limbo: Add a UI prompt that says "Press (your dash button) to exit Limbo's Rift" somewhere that isn't intrusive but at the same time is difficult to miss when it pops up. This both tells new players how to leave the rift and also is a clear visual indicator of when you are in the rift that can't be confused for anything else. The same goes for enemies in the rift: right now we have a black blobby effect on the ground under the target's feet if they're in the void that's pretty easy to miss in a hectic fight. We need a clearer visual effect for enemies in the rift, especially considering that there's a setting to reduce ally spell effect particles making it even harder to tell if enemies are in the rift. I feel like making enemies currently in the rift transparent would go a long way (and making everything except enemies in the rift transparent when *you* are in the rift)... but maybe it's not that easy, especially since there are enemies who can still interact with you while they are in the rift.

[@johns.870]

DE could have easily just change the rift color to your energy color. Like, suddenly wearing a pink shade over your screen could easily help people know when your on or off the rift. Even just making you glow like when you crack relics would do. Not sure why they havent

[@Male_Parent]

Just any QOL changes would be nice, I like his kit but it could definitely use a face lift, like making rift surge augments damage multiplicative (like eclipse/roar), and applies to allies. And what you said, making it more clear if you're in the rift or not. The solution I thought of forever ago was heavy vignetting around the boarder of your screen but a prompt seems better of a solution. It's also impossible to really explain to a noob that you have to be in the rift to damage enemies in the rift. It flys right over smooth brains.

[@LoneMaestro-]

Me and my clan uses limbo for high level endurance runs. The rift acts as a safety net so long as allies are inside the rift they are safe when stasis is active. And I keep my clan banished with me and it is the limbo's job to bring new enemies into the rift with rift surge while simultaneously maintaining the banishment of the group and cycling stasis. Limbo also pairs well with warframes with damaging abilities and exalted weapons because warframe abilities bypass the rift. Limbo is one of the most powerful frames but it takes a lot of shuffling abilities and managing the team and communication to be used in the most effective way possible. If used correctly you can use a nulifier bubble to do a mass banish with rift surge and cataclysm because pulling surged enemies out of does a radial banish once your 4th collapses banish your team again and mow down all enemies then kill the nullifier.

[@Jynogre]

Awh man i love limbo, is one of my most used frames ever, and i cannot recommend a breach surge build any harder, you can easily hit damage cap on any enemy easily, it's so fun, takes a little work but fun as shit, and thena mobile "Rift hopper" build is also amazingly fun if you have a decent secondary/primary, he is such a fun character.

[@theazool986]

What weapon do you use with limbo

[@doootheytho9821]

Thank you for this, I switched to breach surge from radial blind right after the eximus rework since the ability can still blind eximus enemies. It also eliminates hassle of having to make a high duration/short range cataclysm build and just keep using long range/decent duration build since I can just spam breach surge pretty much as a cheaper cataclysm without worrying abt teammates hating me in mobile def/defense type missions lol

[@chaosdjx13]

[@net_spider]

Its a good solo frame period and an okay co-op one if you know what you are doing and your co-op partners understand how the frame works.

[@princesscadance197]

Max range and max duration Limbo is actually really nice on Defense. It’s only really a problem when your Limbo keeps Stasis up constantly. Stasis should a last resort option, like the defense objective is weak, and enemies are getting close. Otherwise, keep Cataclysm up, but Stasis off, so teammates can improve their energy economy, and if things start heading south, Pop Stasis until the team gets the situation under control.

[@TheJordanicas]

Last time I played with a limbo I got annoyed because they kept banishing me and not enemies. So ever time I wanted to kill something I had to dodge out of the rift. Bad limbo players are a thing.

[@chungo2548]

You mentioned that Rift Torrent makes you do 30% damage to all surged enemies, but its a stacking buff based on the amount of surged enemies there are, so if you get 10 surged enemies then thats a 300% damage buff to all enemies in the rift, this scales insanely well into endgame missions where theres 30 enemies spawning every second. Its also great for a combat limbo build where you just banish and torrent enemies, get in the rift, kill them instantly and then get out.

[@holonholon1141]

Coming back to Limbo after Jade Shadows, and I think Secondary Fortifier is a total game changer for him. It can be used to rapidly apply Stasis to Eximus, as well as providing a buffer to Eximus abilities by way of the Overguard.

[@ykiikii]

It's been a damn long time since I last played Limbo and now that my Limbo Prime is finished, it was time for a great video like this one! :)

[@cplcrutons8798]

I too play a lot of limbo and would actually like to add: Limbos banish augment can actually be very useful on those annoying defense NPC's if the target is low HP and about to die you can throw them in the rift and have the rift haven mod equipped they will heal 25% of their maximum HP every second. Aquablades also goes through the rift (if you're willing to sacrifice an ability that is) so it can make a okay/mid damage source from within the rift if you yourself need to heal then finally, i know its prob not the biggest thing but Eidolon screams when you break a limb dont go through the rift so (assuming you have a group) you can yell at them to group up and you can max range cataclysm them to say no to the magnetic procs

[@WhirlwindHeatAndFlash]

the thing with rescue is that just by moving extremely fast the rescue target will constantly teleport making it not take damage - and being fast is preferable the escort 3 dudes mission type thing is even worse, there the difference between playing volt to speed up the dudes running and not using volt to do exactly that is like 7 minutes if you try to reach rotation C, im not even exaggerating, its THAT big a deal i guess technically you can use both

[@viaj4151]

at 3:56 you say that casting stasis and rurge in rift will be better than cataclys + stasis. wouldn't it also involve banishing at least one enemy or was that a prerequisite that didn't need to be mentioned. Starting my Limbo prime arc today so i wanted some clarification on your incredibly interesting guide :3

[@spookipants]

The reason you go into the rift, cast your 2 and then your 4 is so that as soon as you hit 4, all of the enemies are frozen. Dash is to make you invincible to the enemies outside of the rift while you are casting abilities. If you cast your 4 and then 2, the enemies will still be able to shoot you as they are not frozen while you are casting your 2 animation. Banishing (putting into the rift) with your 1 is just doing to a single enemy what your 4 will do to all enemies in the bubble. The end effect would technically be the same if you went around and banished every single enemy as if you just cast your 4.

You can cast stasis before other abilities too. Much safer than relying on being in/out of the rift

Rift Surge is the basis of his kit if you think about it. It's so dynamic.

First ability: Sends enemies to another dimension Second ability: Freezes every enemy in the dimension Third ability: Enemies that die in the dimension, explode and the enemies who are near that target who Arent in the dimension are send there, augment makes so for each enemy affected by this they will take 30% extra damage. Fourth ability: Bubble

​@@lycwydthoughts4640 Actually the third ability i messed up badly, this is it: Third ability: If an enemy exits the rift when afflicted by this, will make every enemy around and itself enter the rift. If you kill an enemy with this it will spread to other enemies who arent on the dimension (Which matters for the augment giving you damage even if they arent on the rift yet) if you hold the first ability (Banish), it will make EVERY enemy in the dimension exit it, which will make everything around those enemies enter it, then you apply the third ability again then banish them again to include even more enemies. Which each enemy killed on it gives 10 energy and with the augment (each enemy affected by it gives 30% extra damage per enemy, affected by strength) Can make you reach over 2000% of extra damage to enemies in the rift if you gather enough of them without killing them (it decreases when you kill them but can also rise up if enemies who arent in the rift and arent tagged with the third ability are near)

[@Menace-To-Humanity]

@@lycwydthoughts4640 Look, limbo is simple to understand, but hard to master. Once you do, you'll be able to lock down entire rooms / tile sets if played right. interception, defense of any kind, void cascade, spy, rescue, he is the king of these missions when it comes to ad control. Limbo's entire thing is managing both worlds at once. if there's no enemies in the rift, but you're inside of it, you're basically a harmless god, but if enemies are inside of the rift while you are inside then, its fair game, and its vice versa for the other way around/ other side as well. he has 2 plays styles that separate the players from the pro players: 1. 2 > 4 or 4 > 2, 4 > 2 > 3, and 2 > 4 > 3, (what majority of players use and what made limbo seemed complicated/ hated by the community) 2. 1 > 2 > 3 > 1(hold) > 3 or 2 > 1 > 3 > 1(hold)>3 playstyle (which is the harder one to master, but is very satisfying to pull of consistently. To explain this more is going to take a lot of writing, but it's really simple and a lot of players still do not understand what they can achieve with limbo while solo or with a another teammate who's abilities can kill through the rift / outside of it. Passive: Dodge to go inside of the rift / make yourself invincible to anything besides eximus units abilities and nullifier bubbles, and while inside the rift kills will restore 10% of your energy while you also have a passive energy regen on top of that. A.K.A, almost full invincibility, with energy regen inside of the rift and energy gain from killed enemies inside of the rift. 1.First ability: Banish. ( you use this to force them inside of the rift while also knocking them down in the process. *Hold casting the skill* will force Every single enemy effected by the rift/ skill back into to the normal world again. Also scales with range, duration, and strength.) Support Augment: [Rift Haven] Allies will heal 25% of their health very second while Inside of the rift (doesn't matter how they get into the rift, they will get continuous healing while inside of it) 2.Second ability: Stasis. (it pauses the enemies in place that are inside/ affected by the rift) 3.Third ability: Rift surge. ( it marks all enemies inside of the rift to stay inside of the rift if they are forced outside of it from either casting your banish again from holding or taping the skill on the enemies or from cataclysm's duration ending or from you manually ending the skill. it also bring in any any non rifted enemies into the rift if they are in 5m at most of the rifted enemies you just banished while affected by rift surge. (scales with range) Augment: [Rift Torrent] gives a flat 30% dmg buff for Every single enemies inside of the rift that is effect by rift surge and scales with strength. 4.Forth ability: Cataclysm (makes a massive AOE rift that shrinks overtime based on your duration. Stepping outside the bubble will put you back into the normal world once more. the size and dmg of it's casting is based on range and strength.) Augment: [Cataclysm Continuum] Increases the duration by 1 second everytime you get a kill. (this does not stop the bubble from shrinking. nor does it expand it upon getting a kill.) Helminth Ability: Cataclysm. (For the love of god, you need his banish (1) (tap/ hold) to get new enemies into the rift when they are affected by rift surge. Even then, i wouldn't suggest using any helminth ability if you're planning to use him normally because his kit is just that good.) The gameplay loop is simple. banish enemies, dodge, stasis, rift surge, hold banish to bring new enemies in while keeping the old ones inside the rift, and then recast rift surge to effect all the enemies, including the new ones that just brought into the rift. If you use the [Rift torrent] augment, you get bonus dmg for every enemy affected by rift surge. I.e.: if you banish 1 enemy, you get 30% bonus dmg with rift surge on them, and if you banish 4 new enemies then you get 150% bonus dmg from the 5 enemies affected total. this bonus dmg increase isn't capped so you can literally get over 3k or more bonus dmg. however, the augment scales with strength, and limbo doesn't need strength at all in order to work, so you'll either have to sacrifice some range or put on [Blind rage] to make up for the strength loss from [Overextended], which honestly doesn't even hurt his energy sustain at all. this is the 1/2/3/1 (hold) playstyle that is the hardest to master and Cataclysm is just the safety net to catch any enemies aren't affected as yet, to be affected when you cast it with stasis on, or along with rift surge then deactivate it. Final addition tips/ tricks: you can use nullifier bubbles as a way to instantly deactivate your cataclysm immediately cast rift surge to affect any of the enemies within the bubble's range to be kept inside of the rift. this can only be achieved with high casting speed, so slot two yellow TF archon shards, two normal yellow archon shards or use [Natural Talent] to get 50% faster casting speed until you get either variant of the Yellow archon shards. Eximus units can indeed by affected by the rift surge and brought into it from any of your rifting abilities, although their abilities will still hit you on either side, bringing them into the rift will still stop their projectiles / bullets from hitting you. Along side the Acolyte that spawns every 5m or so, they do indeed count for the augment's dmg buff when affect by rift surge. so if you see something moving on the map while everything else is frozen with stasis on, and cataclysm up, assume its an eximus unit or an enemy with overguard on them. Demolitionist units can be put into the rift and affected by rift surge for a time before the nullifier bubble denies any ability affects on them. so you can have several enemies already in the rift, affect by stasis and surge, giving your self a massive dmg bonus increase, then banish the demolitionist , dodge into the rift, and then nuke that mf quickly before the bubble pops up again. this works for any and all demolitionist units that aren't Necramechs for some reason. (idk why they cant be rifted or dmged inside cataclysm at all.) Bosses either have a resistance to being banished or cant be banished at all, but that is usually fixed by casting cataclysm to bring everything including them, inside of the rift. as to whether they can be dmged inside or not like Necramechs, you'll just have to find out what can and cant be dmged, or rift surged. (you can nuke acolytes this way with the rift surge augment of course. and Finally, spy mission/ rescue missions, you quite literally don't need anything for these missions., not even a helminth ability, your only worries should be cameras and overguard enemies, even then, if you know the lay out of the rooms, then getting to the consoles should be easy and fast since nothing cant touch / affect you you. throw on some sprint and parkour mods, and if you're gonna use a helminth ability then use [Perspicacity] to make your hacking automatic without the use of cyphers and from there you're set.

[@KhristianBolano]

Old video I know! But I'm recently using Limbo and I'm thorn between actually subsuming an Helminth ability or not. If you use Banish as your main way to put enemies in the rift, you're going to need more steps to do the whole thing on more enemies. Generally, you want to be inside the rift with Stasis active, but in order to Banish enemies you have to be outside of the rift. So you need to do this: Roll into rift -> cast Stasis -> roll out the rift -> cast Banish -> cast Rift Surge -> roll into the rift -> kill the enemies That's an obscene amount of moves every time you need to banish more enemies into the rift. Other Warframes would have probably even already killed the enemies by having great survivability and/or abilities that buff your weapons in the meantime. By using Cataclysm instead, you skip the whole rolling part because you can banish enemies with Cataclysm regardless of where you are. Roll into rift -> cast Stasis -> cast Cataclysm -> cast Rift Surge -> kill the enemies Those are 2 steps (or rolls) less than using Banish. And Cataclysm is going to be huge anyway so you're probably not even going to need to cast Cataclysm again for a while. That being said, Banish still comes handy sometimes expecially if you need to dispel enemies out of the rift (and maybe make Rift Surge affect more enemies), or if you don't want to disable your bubble for some reason. I don't know if it's worth to keep Banish tbh. Expecially when you can subsume stuff like Silence and shut off Eximus units completely (they can move but can't fire while affected by Stasis, and Silence disrupts their abilities). Or maybe use a weapon buff so you can pair it with Rift Torrent and do gorillions of damage.

[@spookipants]

If you have high enough range you can cast banish once and then use your 3 and it will spread by itself. Then you can helminth over your 4. Or you can use your 4 to push then into the rift and then use your 3 to spread and helminth over your 1. Or ignore your 3 and helminth over it. You can’t use the damage mod that way though.

[@KhristianBolano]

@@spookipants Non-stationary missions like Exterminates are really slow if you depend on Cataclysm to actually Banish enemies because you're probably going to not have a positive Energy economy due to the nature of the mission, and Cataclysm is kinda slow even with casting speed. IDK I should test more I guess, because being able to use Banish at its full heights should make Cataclysm redundant and vice versa. Or just make two loadouts for different mission types but IDK. Other good subsumes? Breach Surge should be kinda OP because of the insane damage scaling + Blinding eximus units, Roar would be multiplicative damage to Rift Torrent, Xata's Whisper would be op as well.. Silence adds a layer of CC that would make Limbo harder to kill while doing rift shenanigans+silencing eximus abilities

[@spookipants]

I use different loadouts depending on the mission, but xata is usually my go to when doing any loadout. You could always use nourish however. And remember, when in the rift you get energy over time passivly.

[@KhristianBolano]

@@spookipants I'm currently finding using Banish and Rift Surge for rift "priming" is inconsistent for me, too many button presses/hold even without rolling xD might as well not go max range and rely on cataclysm, max casting speed and if I really have to do a quick mission either bring volt or use a different loadout altogether. Cataclysm is just plain simpler because it basically banishes the area rather than the enemies. (this difference might actually be an idea for a limbo rework/augment, imagine Banish banishing an area in a cone and Rift Surge chain banish zones of the map while keeping the surge) I really like Xata's while Nourish is more on the meh side for me. I usually prime enemies with my companion or my secondary so having an ability that messes up all my elements on weapons isn't very good in my eyes

[@adarkwind4712]

I used Limbo a lot but the Eximus changes kinda stopped me from him for deeper runs.

[@siassmal6502]

Aquablades from Yareli put on Limbo can hurt and kill enemies while your in the rift. Same with its augment. Just slap it on limbo and only worry about eximus abilities.

[@spookipants]

Yea most warframe abilities work through the rift

[@LonerChief]

I know this is weird but I use eclipse on Limbo. That replaces banish cause to me that ability isn't good for teamplay in most situations. But as for the eclipse build I don't use max range and I have more ability strength and have rift torrent so that plus the augment mod and damage up from eclipse makes limbo devastating. I know most people would not use a damage Limbo but that is my best build for him.

[@magnumx635]

I used to play limbo as one of my main frames but coming back to the game after a few years break he just feels gutted. The eximus reworked murdered him, the rift is his only gimmick and having enemies that ignore it's cc and can damage him through it in every mission kind of ruins his usability. It's like if they added enemies immune to fire and expecting ember to still see play. Like... you can still use him for non eximus enemies but it is kind of like how you build corrosive against infested and not gas-- you target the greatest threats not the thing that dies easily anyway. I feel of all the CC frames he got hit the hardest by the change and there isn't really an easy fix without having to make a special exception just for limbo. I just don't have any missions where I feel like reaching for limbo anymore and that's really sad

[@HONEYMO0N.]

hey there, just wanted to say that you can subsume banshee's silence ability onto limbo to completely negate eximus abilities! they will still be able to walk into your bubble, but they cannot cast any abilities *and* they deal no damage when they shoot. something to watch out for though is their melee

[@hakai1014]

Rift surge augment works differently than explained, WHILE BEING IN THE RIFT limbo just deals 30% more damage to all enemies STACKING FOR EACH ENEMY AFFECTED BY RIFT SURGE, at least the mod says that, not otherwise

[@spookipants]

Yea I realized that after I posted it and somebody corrected me so I I think I have it pinned.

[@MstarSmith]

Your colour/graphic settings are amazing. It's so clear seeing who's in the rift and who's not. What's your setup if you don't mind sharing? Also do I need banish then in the first place if bubble + rift surge keeps them in the rift and add new enemies to it?

[@orugma]

My visuals are nothing like what's shown in this video. Maybe it depends on graphical settings, but none of the abilities are clear when I use them; it's basically impossible to tell what's in the rift, where the bubble is, etc. Makes it much harder to use than it should be, and frankly no fun.

[@spookipants]

use your 1 or 4 to put enemies into the rift. Then you can go inside the bubble or dash to go into the rift with the enemies.

[@Menace-To-Humanity]

@@spookipants you can hold cast 1 to re-banish all the enemies affected by the rift either outside the rift or back into the rift with new enemies if they are affected by rift surge within close proximity of them. cataclysm is just the safety net to catch everything within its range, into the rift to be killed.

[@jura3899]

I honestly have heard such bad things about limbo but I’m currently levelling him. I just wanted to know why everyone hates him cause I’ve no idea how to use him and have never been trolled by anyone with him

Dude helpful video but why you so quiet with out headphones I can't hear hardly anything my man

[@danser_theplayer01]

Here is the intended use of 3 (probably): Use 1 on mobs Enter rift + use 2 Use 3 Now HOLD 1 inside the rift on mobs with 3 effect Congrats, you can infinitely repeat this cycle of banishing new mobs intoyour rift without ever exiting it, this is a very powerfull tactic for 2 reasons and may be a reason to helminth 4 for something beeter. Reason 1) Eximus units and special mobs have overguard/resistance to stasis, that means they can walk into your bubble no problem and kill you all. Meanwhile using the 1-3 tactic you never create a "room" for eximus to enter, though their *abilities* can still kill you. Yes all warframe/non warframe abilities work through dimentions so there is an incentive to have Limbo with banshee silence to block eximus from casting abilities, making you truly immune. Reason 2) As I said this way you don't create a rift "room" so your teammates don't get pushed into the rift and you don't apply the "no pickups" mechanic over a large area. Reason why I don't replace 4 on all my configs is because technically the defence capsules don't get baniched but rift buble around them protects them from damage. That one may need additional testing as I haven't been using him in regular defence recently...because of eximus.

[@spookipants]

Yea I’ve tried using that method for the 3 in the past but it’s kind of annoying when trying to kill an enemy and they have not been pushed into the rift yet. I don’t really suggest it no matter how strong it could possible be.

[@danser_theplayer01]

@@spookipants I think this might be a range problem.

I know I'm seeing this really late, but your explanation of Rift Torrent is wrong. It gives you a buff to damage you deal based on the number of enemies within range in the rift at the time you cast it. It does not increase the damage to those enemies, meaning it doesn't help your teammates deal more damage, it just gives you a damage boost, and that's not just to the affected enemies.
