Warframe | The Atlas Farming Apotheosis

[@exspiravit3335]

No friends Nekros here. Ever since I saw the previous Atlas video and was made aware of the power of Ore Gaze I realized it could be subsumed onto the OG farming frame. So I've been trying to create the optimal build that could handle steel path while still maintaining 400% strength. I mean Nekros already creates Infinite energy via Equillibrium and Desecrate so the idea of an Ore Gaze Nekros sounds optimal on paper. But I gotta say even with the max amount of investment with Tauforged archon shards and Max Arcanes it was really difficult as I kept running into certain problems. Pumping strength that much means your other stats take a hit and further means survivability too which is a no go for Steel Path. And then upping survivability always meant suboptimal levels of strength handicapping the capabilities of the build. I tried lots of things like subsuming Petrify over Nekros's 4 to use precision intensify but that didn't work out in the end. However with the release of Jade Shadows my Nekros Petrify build became fully realized through Arcane Battery. The inclusion of this Arcane solved the energy problem as just slapping on the mod Health Conversion grants Nekros with over 1500 armor pretty much all the time allowing Battery to act like a SUPER Primed Flow in the arcane slot. With this I could remove the 2 Tau blue shards I had for max energy and keep pumping strength with Reds. In the end my Nekros boasts 399% strength while utilizing not one, not two, but 3 whole augment mods. (Despoil, Ore Gaze, and Shield of Shadows). Here is the link to the build if anyones curious. overframe.gg/build/730019/nekros-prime/ore-gaze-nekros-steel-path/ hope this helps someone its a really fun build.

[@sentr.e]

how far along do you farm for?

[@exspiravit3335]

@@sentr.e I usually farm for around 30 minutes to under an hour depending if I get bored lol.

[@sentr.e]

@@exspiravit3335 I have a similar build but I never ran into survivability issues as I already use Adaptation and Shield of Shadows on my steel path nekros build, which heavily benefits from strength; these two mods alone were enough for me to stay in steel path survivals for an hour before things got dicey enough for me to extract. With equilibrium, primed flow and arcane energize slotted in I never saw my energy drop to 0 unless an ancient disruptor latched me; this makes for a build where you have 7 other mod slots and 5 shards available for pumping strength as I see fit. I think Despoil is needed when there’s already reliable ways to gain energy with Nekros.

[@sentr.e]

@@exspiravit3335 I use a similar build as well but with a bit more overkill on the strength to inch into just over 100 on ore gaze and non-negative duration. I don’t actually see Nekros having a survivability issue when you pump strength to the max as Shield of Shadows benefits from it. Running 90%dmg resist from the shadows with Adaption already boosts survivability well into lvl 900 before things get dicey for me. As for energy issues, all that’s really needed is Equilibrium and Primed Flow to sustain energy for Desecrate (Arcane Energize helps a ton tho with upkeeping his shadows for the DR.) Equilibrium on Nekros makes Despoil near redundant as well in my opinion; this leaves 5 mod slots and 5 shard slots for pumping strength and adjusting other power stats to boot. I will admit your build has higher survivability than mine making it quite valid for those who want to farm into lvl1200+

[@Zictive]

Absolute cookery

[@TheArtemisRift]

Warframe is one of my favorite games and seeing it finally get actually creative content other than "THE BEST WEAPON YOU ARENT USING!!!!!!" is so good

[@ordis5423]

I love theory crafting videos🥰🥰🥰

[@A_Game_Zone]

Just cut contact from those sources then, there's still some decent channels which explore forgotten powers of warframe and theorycrafting and niche stuff. It's just more difficult to find those channels because they aren't as famous as the ones who tell u "the best" and then give u a screenshot to copy paste directly.

[@CocoLarge.]

The biggest wf content creators are almost jokes sometimes theyre so bad. I love watching stuff like this or watching dystopia have a schizophrenic episode and completely destroy the game.

[@CunnyMuncher]

@@CocoLarge.Its literally like a handful of fat streamers whining about how you TOTALLY must get prime sure footed and that [thing] is bad because it takes 4 hits instead of 3 hits to take out an enemy, even though Warframe is so easy you can take a mk-1 braton through all of SP.

[@maxcy2890]

4 atlas comp blasting through steel path is the optimal strat. because 1 rocky wasnt enough, gotta bring the boys in on the fun

[@adri745k]

Call the squad, we gotta rock and stone ⛏️

[@genmaicha_]

the petrify changes are the result of the Freeze status change, as frozen enemies were changed to be ragdoll-able freeze and petrify share code so the changes affected petrified enemies too

[@superphatcakes]

This is actually kinda awesome as a shadow buff.

[@sanga1380]

Wait, does this means you can trigger the new arcane for 40 strength and duration with petrify?

[@superphatcakes]

@sanga1380 I'd imagine not, but it's still worth looking into

[@Zodaxa_zdx]

frost getting the shadow rework so hard it flung strays and buffed atlas

[@asscheekgaming]

@@Zodaxa_zdxit’s the opposite, now atlas can’t kill anything bc everything’s being ragdolled

[@GunterBunterWarframe]

DE change how the "frozen" effect works, so they can be moved with abilities, and the frozen effect means limbo stasis, full 10 stacks of cold, harrow 1st ability, and atlas petrify, because frost and limbo would ruin defense missions with their freeze

[@Deveyus]

I remember when we only had Hema left in our Ghost Dojo... we just did a survival mission with 3 Nightwatch Napalm Orgis users and a necros and a frost and got the whole thing done in one long mission. Was good fun.

[@Nyx__]

One of the best Warframe videos I've seen ever. Great editing and script. Super interesting too. I will not do any of this farm shit, but the idea of doing it is very cool.

[@awesommaniac2999]

I just discovered you, and you have to be one of the most knowledgeable and entertaining warframe creators I’ve ever seen. Keep it up!

[@FulfillMyWill]

14:31 Madurai has "Sling strength" buff, which gives 40% Power Strength

[@EngagingOverImmersive]

That's not power transfer. Power transfer is +100% Amp crit damage and +50% casting speed. Sling strength us +40% strength, which you get from double slinging.

[@FulfillMyWill]

@@EngagingOverImmersive Yes, you are correct. I confused these two. Thanks for pointing it out. Editing my original comment to avoid confusion.

[@Gay4MapleSyrup]

Note: if you use nidus spectres then they can link with you and you get a bit more ability strength

[@heyitsyAkE]

1:22 Zach said “let’s hop to it” and my brain is so rotted that I had to run that back. Please put me out of my misery

[@khud0s717]

i heard hawk tuah

[@threebeeq8825]

As someone who has done the full 5k hema farm, Terrorem is far better for farming mutagen samples than Zabala. This is because mutagen samples are rarer on Eris than on Deimos, I don't have the exact numbers but you can see it when looking at the "resource drones" tab on each planet, on Deimos they are "uncommon" while on Eris they are "Legendary". So you were actually correct on doing the farm on Deimos as you would have gotten far fewer mutagen samples if you had done it on Eris.

[@sanga1380]

Yeah it’s way easier on terrorem. Just using hydroid and it felt way better than on Zabala

[@Error404UA]

Using most of Zachimo's Atlas setup and x2 Resource booster 35 minutes into the Zabala mission I got entire *4* Mutagen Samples. I got 40 of them within the first 5 minutes on Terrorem and 250 at 35 minutes.

[@dilybob6852]

11:25 if you dont use the umbral mods you get slightly better results. Replace umbral fiber and umbral vitality with transit fortitude and adaptation get you up to 388% strength. if you don't care about not haveing range you can replace stretch with argur secrets for 412% strength. Also if you do the atlas centric farming setup you can use jade instead of equinox not only giving support for your nidus but also giving more power strength than equinox can. great video guide 10/10

[@besabaftw]

Range is kinda necessary for atlas because it extends the explosion of the punches

[@mfy0108]

> Funneling all my profits back into the game > Owns no Tome mods > Crew doesn't have Growing Power.

Easy. That's just how much profit he's made. Not enough for any of them.

[@Emreakca-]

"bad flow of enemies" with no nova in sight

[@oniontaster6449]

small note, for some arcane reason atlas picking up rubble counts as a "healing ability" and triggers archon intensify. its less than umbral intense, but it does save 2 mod slots for other mods

[@chippler5822]

Rubble for some Pablo reason will heal you instead of giving rubble if your missing hp

[@DavidUtau]

arcane reason: passives are abilities.

[@dakotahoward2728]

Huh, didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.

[@A_Game_Zone]

Arcane intensify only procs when you're healing missing health. Not when having full heath. Just giving a warning. 👌

[@Cadrua]

Ran this for my Atlas for the longest time, it's better to just use the Umbral set. Combat Disicpline can't drop your health since landslide forces invulnerability and it gets progressively dangerous (and slow) to let enemies chip at your HP, so Archon Intensify offers less overall for more effort required

[@gj8622]

Unironically buying the Tome mods is a really good idea. Significantly cheaper than off of warframe market, and worth skipping the HORRENDOUS grind. Also, zachmo my friend, should have gone with Madurai for a further 40% power strength. A little bit more upkeep, I know, but le optimal :). You can also mod high combo duration on your dagger so you only need to swing on occasion to maintain the 12x.

As an fellow Atlas Enjoyer, i just wanted to let you know that your problem with the Nautilus cooldown can be improved with Manifold Bond.

[@andreiamendes5449]

Equinox has an augment, peaceful provocation, that gives extra strength to the team, so you could achieve more ability strength, up to 30% extra in fact, scaling with strength!

[@Charkhil]

I haven't watched the video yet but oh my god I've been longing, waiting, yearning, for this video since watching moneypunch the day it came out!

[@Leshiy.]

truly you've inspired me to farmmax by warframe youtubing thank you zachmo

[@96samcosmo]

There is one thing that you missed that is really important. The power strength bonus from cracking a relic is a final multiplier. If you were to have Nidus and Equinox recast while under the effects of this buff, you should be able to hit over 600% bonus loot. Also, I'm not sure why you so quickly dismissed the bonuses from Protea's passive and Precision Intensify. You might be able to go even higher. If you wait for a double loot weekend, that would be still another final multiplier.

[@ughwhy8175]

Ive had plenty of fun testing max duration ivara farming and high pwr strength atlas. He is my favorite to use in kuva survival, because of the additional canisters, loot and support drops he can generate. Another reason I like him is you can drop a bulwark directly on top of the support tower, like a mini snowglobe, to absorb incoming damage. In conjunction with the distraction provided by his rumblers, 1 hour kuva survivals are comfortable even in pubs.

[@alexanderchipman9571]

As someone from Utah...it's a great place to hole away in!

[@GunterBunterWarframe]

There IS a way to get plat out of farming resources, because you can trade built itzal parts and they cost 4 tellurium for the entire set, problem is people don't buy them enough to be an actual plat farm. There is also built necramechs requiring orokin cells, but they also require other materials so it's not a farm built on farming region resources.

[@eclipse3037]

I was expecting you to comment about you from the future and i ot it xD that made me smile.

[@as.i2921]

Im late to the video but it interested me greatly. I did not know ore gaze was a thing. However after watching some of the video I had some thoughts of my own. I don't quite think atlas is the best user of petrify or is optimal when it comes to farming. I think it's protea, whomst you briefly covered. I also think if the squad is changed up a little bit the return value for Ore Gaze is significantly better. After watching 11 minutes of the video this is what I cam up with: The squad will consist of: Protea (who is running ore gaze) Nidus Equinox and either Khora, Hydroid, or Nekros (Technically nekros is the potentially best option but assuming protea is using her turrets to maximize kill rate it is counter intuitive). Base bonus across entire squad: 235% Base Power Strength: 100% Equinox Calm/ Frenzy aug: 80% Power Donation: 30% Growing Power: 25% (not required on Equinox on chosen 4th frame) Nidus Build: 285% Blind Rage: 99% All Umbral mods: 77% Transient Fortitude: 55% Augar Secrets: 24% Amar's Hatred: 15% Power Drift: 15% Protea Build: 398% Passive: 100% Blind Rage: 99% Precision Intensify: 90% Transient Fortitude: 55% Augar Secrets: 24% Amar's Hatred: 15% Power Drift: 15% Protea w/ all buffs applied: 763% This is without extra resources like tau forged shards and molt augmented If you do end up applying those to their max value you add 135% power strength to both Nidus and Protea (as they're the only ones who would benefit). That being said the new power strength value for nidus would be 420% + 235% (655%). This means that protea's new power strength value is 931%. This not only lasts 48 seconds but is infinitely refreshable as long as nidus has stacks.

[@DAGriffith09]

A couple of build suggestions: Madurai focus school gives you a 40% power strength boost after a few void dashes. You can pair this in a team with somebody running zenurik for hardened wellspring for another 20%. The gorgon synergy is cool, but the Rauta shotgun gives you combo count on hit. If you build this for fire rate and multi shot you can build to 12x in a few seconds.

Yooo i love it. Your content is soooo goood ty mate

[@SUSeARC]

18:00 (I havent played in 8 months and the last time i played I found weirdness with this interaction so not sure if it changed) The nidus Ability strength increases is dependent on each players own power strength Link acts more as a buff than a actual link. So nidus will get a % strenght buff based of his own strength and the ally will also get a % strength buff based on said allys strength So, with the invigoration, it's likely a lot more than you stated in the video.

[@angelindenile]

I have a friend who does that very rhing with nekros-- Petrify Ore Gaze on nekros 4. He actually uses health conversion for armor and rolling guard to cleanse. Nekros is his main, and he has many builds for different things. In fact, it hurts to see how he makes Nekros into a better support than the go to support frame, Trinity. (my old main.) Seriously, you dont need shield of shadows on him if you have despoil augment + health conversion.

[@jamsheeddevotee7588]

Subsume onto khora and use with pilfering strangle dome along with a nidus to buff you. It's how i farm argon crystals quickly.

[@Beefercow]

I think optimal squad setup post komei is going to be atlas, nidus, jade, and a speed nova. Edit for additional input because I watched the rest of the video: I think your two direlect runs were more because of the spawns of that tile you picked to camp in. With enemies not spawning properly, it lowered the drops. There's even a difference in spawn rate with the frame rate of the host because of the spaghetti code that holds this game together.

[@subspanner]

I have a friend who's an Atlas main, and we both wanted to see if Ore Gaze is truly uncapped after the Smeeta rework. Unfortunately, he is capped at 100%. I made builds for everyone in the team. Atlas had 490% strength, nidus had 620% with other non warframe buffs. We used Jade and Equinox to boost the Nidus and Atlas's strength by an extra 200%, so Atlas had 690% strength, and Nidus had 820%. I don't know the math behind Link's multiplicative strength buff, but Ore Gaze was showing an additional loot bonus of around 550%. We tested it on an Oxium drone since they dropped Oxium 100% of the time, and we only got 2 drops of Oxium from every Oxium drone we encountered. If Ore Gaze was uncapped, we should be seeing 6/7 drops of Oxyum. Ore Gaze isn't a resource drop chance Booster, it is an additional loot booster. Despite this cap, I believe Atlas is still the best solo loot frame.

[@sturuxbarrelman4513]

I enjoyed the the sentry x 58 theme in the video

[@TheEagleEyeValor]

Would a speed Nova not play well with this? The aura she runs gives you more power strength plus it makes enemies faster so they more quickly run into your fists.

[@felipecastilho55]

just a quick update (due to next big update on october 2nd). we now have jade that has a flat percentage strength boost ons its 2nd ab and after October 2nd smeeta will no longer give the resource buff but can rather be applied to any beast companions via a certain mod. IMO jade could give more flat strength then equinox and its more energy economy (since its a toggle ab with duration and can buff itself on next cast)
