Warframe: Empowered Qorvex Is GREAT! JUST What He Was Missing!

[@TacticalPotato]

I love Tanks but his kit was just missing something and this definitely helps when playing him. I know some of you still wont enjoy his playstyle but I really like it. Thoughts on his augment?

[@xXSonyKilerXx]

I love it. Exactly what he needed. I tried pillage now it is not necessary. I wish DE will tweak his wall so in terrain where the walls hit Abit too high or low make the wall to fill the gaps above or below(aspecially below) so it will hit more accurate

[@chippler5822]

I've been a qorvex fan since launch and honestly armor strip is solved for me by helios with the strip on melee mod i care more about getting actually good grouping for even more Damage

[@generalcellron2962]

I think this augment is definitely going to be a bit help for him, maybe you could look into valkyr now that arcane battery has been released maybe valkyr now can be the berserk valkyrie that Odin needed 😁

[@Fengreki]

I ended up falling in love with him, and was happy to see him get this. He will be the first warframe that I decide you know what, lets put an umbral forma or 3 on him. As morbid as this is, as a radworker in the Navy, I fell in love and went wholesale into the theme of entrati even more than normal. I have several forma(no umbra yet) on him, on ekhein, on trumna, and on sepulcrum. Hek, the configs are even in theme, a base kit called criticality, a gloom build named thermalization, and a null star build named fission. I have a diriga with the loid skin for "photointeractions" shall we say. I have a casting, 2 strength, and soon 2 armor health or armor shards(still deciding) i love him and all the heart attack inducing sounds that he has!

[@DarkmegaGaming]

Personally, I felt like he kills just fine without a strip. You just get to watch them explode for slightly longer, which is a beautiful sight anyways. and you've got weapons you can throw in viral or corrosive or what have you which is probably even better now with the lack of excessive armor from the rebalances. I also use him for looting the level though, cause I removed disometric for a Gyre sphere. helps compact enemies together and keeps them off their feet in a nice ball and clears rooms of items to find special loot when the game mode requires it, but still has 180% power on the ult, where the big damage comes from cause of focused intensify. Vaporizes the room just fine.

[@tanwenwalters7689]

This will help him in lower density situations, but where he already shined - high enemy density missions, the augment really isn't particularly useful. The only reason I would use this on my usual high-density build (which is negative strength, maximum range and duration, and full +rad shards, with breach surge over containment wall) is to clear up the space used by duration, but even then, duration effects how long his pillars stay empowered while this only refreshes how long they stay up.

[@tiltskillet7085]

The augment is awesome. But the best improvements to Containment Walls weren't even in the patch notes. The grouping works far better than it did, and the vulnerability affects Eximus overguard.

[@kittyb992]

I threw together a build for him the day the Aug dropped because I'm the guy in your group who forma'd Qorvex 11 times to figure out where I wanted him, and I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment. The first thing I said to my friend who also plays is that this mod feels like it kinda brings him the rest of the way together to be an actually great Warframe and not just a good one.

[@TacticalPotato]

The mod feels like it should have been a core part of the wall already though right?

[@seamagician7042]

​@TacticalPotato that's a feeling I have with a few frames like loyal merulina. I feel that being a tap hold to ride or just summon the jellyfish should just be a part. Volts capacitance maybe ? There are a few that just feel like a core part of the ability stripped instead of an augment imo

Dude, thank you so much for suggesting Arcane Battery, it slipped right by me. Being able to remove Prime Flow opened up my build a lot. I don't have any Umbra Formas right now, but was able to make it work thanks to this one arcane.

[@DrakoWulf]

This is certainly a good substitute for what I do, which is replacing his 1 with Tharros Strike. With enough ability strength, it instantly strips any enemy in front of you. This Tharros Strike build I use is much simpler for similar output of power, but using a build with no subsumed abilities and this new augment will have much higher highs than my Tharros Strike build. Qorvex just has a super synergistic kit, so it was hard for me to replace any of his abilities in the first place. This augment makes the decision not to replace any just a bit easier!

[@gundamwarrior]

With his new augment I find more enjoyment out of him. Him being able to strip armor and shields a lot easier than Sty given his immense long range of his 2 compared to say Sty's. While Hildryn can 100% strip too, it takes 333% and corrosive projection. Qorvex doesn't need as much and you can get far more range to strip armor easier since its only 200% needed. He really really feels good now.

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

I haven't played Qorvex in a while not because I felt like he was missing an armor strip, but more because he requires a camping playstyle that's also not very compatible with public teams. I had my teammates killing everything around me over and over again, not giving ke much of a chance to perform his chain of abilities.

[@chippler5822]

Well you can burst into a room and setup pillars but the unfortunate reality of combo frames is they're slower than most frames by and large

[@Metall1st3]

Just curious, why do you feel that the armor strip is the thing that he was missing? You just build max range and slap precision intensify, if there is a group of enemies they are getting destroyed immediately. Press 4 and rotate the camera to hit as many enemies as possible, the chain reaction damage is bonkers and huge range leaves little chance for your squadmates to mess your 4 up

[@code3802]

@@Metall1st3 Once you get steel path unlocked these things start to matter

[@Metall1st3]

Yea, I really wanna find a place for this augment in my build as well. It looks like it's not only useful for making abilities do damage, but stripping is also needed for Radiation's friendly-fire to actually do damage (except against Corpus, who are too strong for their own good,) but should also make fighting single-targets like Acolytes and Demolysts much easier since it'll indirectly buff your weapons.

[@DerdOn0ner]

So, either the augment is bugged or just worded incorrectly. You do in fact NOT need to hit any enemies with your wall to restart the duration of your pillars. This condition only needs to be satisfied, if you want to empower them.

[@TacticalPotato]

I think it's bugged tbh.
