Warframe | CITRINE: All Her Endgame Builds...? (READ PINNED)

[@Aznvasions]

*BRIEF OVERVIEW* *Ability 01* - Fine as-is *Ability 02* - Boring, but good. Make it have extra synergy. ie. Killing enemies afflicted by your 1 while 2 is at 90% DR should trigger radial blind around the enemy. Gives her a crowd control sustain without requiring consistent ability casting; her 1 only stuns for 2s, and her 4 is super slow to cast. Make it so killing enemies afflicted by your 4 while 2 is at 90% DR causes a Crystallize chain expanding radially from the target. Only original Crystallize cast targets can cause a secondary Crystallize chain expansion. Secondary Crystallize is of different color to differentiate. *Ability 03* - Let us cast 2 zones instead of 1. Also, make it prime 10 enemies per second instead of 4-5, to avoid slow group priming; otherwise, make it prime all hit targets instantly. *Ability 04* - Speed up base cast animation. Make it *add* flat 300% critical chance instead of setting critical chance to 300%. This actively nerfs building for crit chance, devalues higher base crit weapons, and barely makes crystal better on innately high CC weapons when headshots now have a base 3x modifier, whereas the crystal is treated as 1x scaling. If you use AoE gas setups with her 3, you will have long-lasting gas clouds you can group new enemies back into, for persistent big AoE gas damage. I apologize for how late this upload has been. I've been very busy and dealing with family matters the past day or two and has had me extremely tired and unable to work on the update. Things are cleared up now, and expect my uploads to resume like they always do on new content updates. ------------------------------------------------ *TIMESTAMPS* I'm on Twitch too now!

Citrussy, Gemussy even, Geodussy mayhaps

[@dragongod666sevagoth3]

I love Geodussy 🤣

[@stevet6975]

Geomussy

[@xD3m0nx]

Saphussy, rubussie, emerussie,diamussie, really whatever color I make her I name a gemussy for it 😂

[@Darthmufin]

Glad you take her 3 seriously, a lot of people dismissed it right away

[@NinjaSyao]

​@@rafe1544 Status chance has always lived in the shadow of its more "sexy" cousins: critical chance/damage. Doesn't help either that the big bosses all have status effect caps, making crit even more popular. I guess most people just don't realise how important status chance really is. I dig Citrine's 3rd ability as well. With Archon Continuity that's an easy 5 statuses on enemies for CO mods. The status duration buff works for abilities, according to the wiki, so definetly want to try that out with a friend using Gas Catalyze Lavos.

[@BoochieKatt]

Brozime cough cough

[@NinjaSyao]

Citrine's 3rd ability got buffed in recent hotfix. Now hits 5 enemies instead of 2 every 2 seconds, so basically a 2.5x speed increase in priming enemies.

[@ankokuraven]

All of these look amazing I can't wait to get her together. I love the comfy health tanking over shield gating. Potential new go to frame

[@parallelogrum7967]

Ain't no way this guy put Gemussy in this video thumbnail. I'm over here losing it.

[@noahedenborg4221]

gemussy was in the red text so its canon now

[@dontdoitdan7965]

I might actually make an expedite suffering set up on this frame, entirely because I felt that most frames didn't feel like the had true synergy with it. Citrine clearly does.

[@xzavier640]

Garuda would be pretty interesting with it too, I doubt it would be as good but if you use the zaw arcane exodia thingy it gives endless slash procs after using her 4th and then attacking with the zaw. I havent tested the melee + her 4th and the zaw arcane with expedite suffering yet but if you have it you should try it for me (:

[@knicklichtjedi]

Need to grind more! All her builds that I've seen so far, look amazing! I especially like your use of her 3 status duration for E-Suffering.

[@DragonKnightJin]

I've seen YTers say her 3 is the 'weakest' part of her kit. For Steel Path? Maybe. But if you can play around her 3 giving a bunch of status procs and increased duration... Yeah, using Expedite Suffering can REALLY hurt your enemies pretty quickly.

[@ItsekulGaming]

Az, Gemussy picks up health orbs at full HP without Synth Fiber. Which is neat if your panzer is down.

[@Aznvasions]

That part I didn't know, thanks :O

[@GeniusI2_3]

Does it still work if you max out the stacks on the passive?

[@NinjaSyao]

@@GeniusI2_3 It still worked when in Simulacrum, but when I did a Mirror Defense it didn't once I hit max stacks on the passive. Would still recommend running Synth Fiber for consistency.

[@GeniusI2_3]

@@NinjaSyao Ty don’t have her yet so I can’t test it myself

[@ItsekulGaming]

Yeah i just checked. Once she caps her regen, she stops picking up health orbs at full HP. Sadge

[@sadpandah7597]

wtf I come back and I find this amazing youtube doing such well detailed guides for warframe? let's freaking go omg

[@alexanderson4497]

Personally I've been enjoying her. I got a decent Riven for the Vermisplicer and the tentacles are good at having the crystal attack multiple targets since it's range is decent. It melts Steel Path enemies, I like using Helminth but if I can use all the frames abilities then I try to stay a purist as the frame was intended and since I enjoy her 3 I kept it.

[@Tripleyou]

For Expedite Suffering and 4 synergy using Sporothix seems to be incredible and fun! 4 -> Single shot -> Expedite -> Deadge

[@kodr]

best video regarding Citrine so far, good to see some decent health tank build.

[@cryogenianWF]

I did a level cap around her 3 it's a lot of fun. Seems like the hitbox of her 3 for nullifiers is where your warframe stands, that's why sometimes you think nullies can't remove it but it can happen.

[@HCivicFg2]

Citrine finishes building Monday morning... So 1 hour after I start a 12hr shift.

[@teknyon]

To be honest with you stuff like that is exactly why I keep platinum on me

[@KingDoesRage]

"hmm let me go check out whats going on with warframe" *end game gemussy* "that's enough warframe for the month"

[@Aznvasions]

If you can believe it, it’s actually red text official. I do wonder who did the red text for Citrine this time.

[@tgraha21]

Interesting no defense stripping ability

[@terminatort9096]

Will there be a seperate vid for Steflos or did I just miss the build in the video.

[@Aznvasions]

Separate ones coming later today/tmr

[@terminatort9096]

@@Aznvasions Thanks cause that weapon looks really fun.

[@NinjaSyao]

@@terminatort9096 Just tried the Steflos and I really dig this weapon. Sure, it's not nearly as powerful as the Tenet Arca Plasmor (wouldn't expect it to either considering it's only Mr 8, compared to the Plasmor's Mr 16), but it has the largest AoE potential of the entire Plasmor family and damn! Does this thing sound awesome!!! Kicks like a mule when aiming down sights though, so strongly recommend reducing the recoil.

[@terminatort9096]

@@NinjaSyao Looking forward to crafting it. Though all the new stuff looks really awesome tbh.

[@NinjaSyao]

@@terminatort9096 Yeah, all the new stuff looks great tbh. The Corufell I'll definetly give to Voruna, I was looking for a fun melee for her that synergizes with her buffs and Corufell really wants consistent slash procs/status chance increase/90% heavy attack efficiency. The arcanes all look very interesting, Encumber is definetly gonna be the new meta for quite a few secondaries, so that's great too ^_^

[@gawwdlydreams3525]

I use archon mods for her 3 suggest u give it a try

[@johnclaws4609]

So does archon intensify work on her?

[@gawwdlydreams3525]

@@johnclaws4609 nope she doesn’t have healing abilities passive doesn’t count

So good, i've tried it... its insane... I want to use an umbra forma tho

[@so1e639]

Waiting for your overview on new arcanes 😍

[@TheArcSet]

Thanks for this. I hope everything's ok now.

[@gault6546]

i just managed to get and craft all 3 parts. gonna try and get her main bp today so this arrived right on time.

[@blakejones3124]

Great builds. I've been using similar builds and love her so far. What do you think about changing roar for pillage with a full armor strip on your health tank build? Would the effective DPS be similar?

[@stardust-rebel]

This looks promising. Citrine came out of the foundry with some good synergistic effects. What will we find in the weeks before Duviri? 🤔

[@thewonkehplayer1943]

what archon shards you use on Citrine via tank build?

[@SneakybeakyScrub]

no pillage or arcane aegis 😔

[@antillsequence]

She's fun, but implementation of some mechanics still feels weird. Well, just like most of DE's decisions. Hope they'll continue tweaking her. In the right way.

[@ankokuraven]

Nukor crystal crit build suggestion?

[@noahedenborg4221]

add crit dmg since when you shot the crystals it sets your cc to 300%

[@ankokuraven]

@@noahedenborg4221 Deffinitely Picked up a good crit damage riven for it too!

[@theflash6487]

Great vid! . . . . . . . . . . Can’t wait to get my hands on the gemussy!

[@hammerheadcorvette4]

Mecha Citrine FTW !

[@johnclaws4609]

So archon intensify works on her?

[@Lxveletting]

no, and there is zero reason to use that mod anyways

[@noahedenborg4221]

Archon intensify only triggers from direct ability healing like lavos 1 or trinity 4 and Titania passive and u need to actually heal health

[@LilBeaniebby]

Hildryn prime access leaked guys.. get ready for shade prime!

[@NinjaSyao]

Huh, that would explain why they buffed Shade in this update.

[@Eldersh1eld]

Ngl I thought her 3rd ability was the most underwhelming one, but you changed my mind that shit is useful

[@MACA_Zeon]

It's awesome and fun

[@mains8913]

How do you like the primary?

[@Aznvasions]

It’s alright, mini arca. Still prefer arca

[@amatoryaya]

thank youuu

Dude i don't want to do mirror defense, it's so boring

she did kill trinity

i like the gemussy and her weapons they fun specialy when i shot steflos into a group of enemys with my xata mirage was fun

Not the gemussy 😭💀

what are "xaku's gay zones"?

Gaze Zones. The armor strip zones from his 3 sub-ability

[@35reich]

"lategame" Builds

[@joonashannila8751]

Build on that? Looking at the state of Warframe, it is very unlikely D.E will ever redo any old content like that.. The game doesnt even have any endgame yet. After youy have everything, theres not much reason to play anymore. Running same missions for years is not going to carry this game. Sadly Duviri will decide the fate of this game, and I hope D.E realizes that... Which is sad because Warframe could easily have another decade ahead of it..
