A Stupid Idea for A Vauban Rework

September 21, 2019September 18, 2019 Medic 0 Comments engineer, rework, vauban, warframe

Vauban is a sad, sad Warframe. Over the years, Vauban has become weaker and weaker and weaker. Not because he has been nerfed repeatedly, but because so many other frames have come out over the years that provide better crowd control than Vauban does and almost all other frames have better ways of dealing damage to enemies. Not to mention the fact that the best crowd control tends to be death, which Vauban doesn’t really deal in. There’s a secondary issue too, that Vauban doesn’t really fit his theme. Vauban is named after Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, a French… [Continue Reading]

On Having Your One Final Use Being Made Redundant

September 19, 2019September 18, 2019 Medic 0 Comments pirate, warframe

On the Larunda relay, everyone is minding their own business, wondering when Baro Ki’Teer is going to arrive, when they suddenly hear a large bang. Most of the relay ignores the bang, since explosions are a common occurrence in most of the Origin System, but a couple of people go outside, to the ships, to see what it was. Standing in the middle of the hangar is a Hydroid. This Hydroid is sporting a complete Grineer look, complete with Tennogen Graxx skin, the Saturn Six Grineer armour, a Zarr and some Twin Grakatas. Even his landing craft has a Kuva… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Warframe Companions

September 15, 2019September 12, 2019 Medic 0 Comments companions, kavat, kubrow, MOA, sentinel, warframe

Really, when you think about it, there aren’t that many options when it comes to companions in Warframe. You have robotic things that float behind you, you have cats and dogs, you have weird-looking infected dogs and you have mechanical chickens with guns. Of course, all these creatures do different things and provide different gameplay options, but they’re not the most… lovable things in the world. At least, the Sentinels aren’t. But considering the reactions I have gotten from showing people my freshly incubated companions, I don’t think everyone agrees that Kubrows and Kavats are as cute as I think… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts on More Umbral Warframes

September 12, 2019September 9, 2019 Medic 0 Comments lore, umbra, warframe

Excalibur Umbra is a unique Warframe, a variant of normal Excalibur, that players wanted for years. We finally got access to Excalibur Umbra, often just called Umbra for short, in the Sacrifice, a quest that looked at Ballas’s betrayal of the Orokin and gave us some more defined answers as to how the Warframes were built. But Umbra shows something that all other Warframes lack in large amounts – sentience. The creation of most Warframes was tricky at first. These were people infested with a particular strain of Infestation that turned their skin into steel and transformed them into, well,… [Continue Reading]

Not Feeling the Speed – More Thoughts on Gauss

September 11, 2019September 8, 2019 Medic 0 Comments gauss, ramble, warframe, zephyr

I’ve been playing Gauss, leveling him up for both mastery and the more obvious reasons of getting him to level 30, but I’ll be honest, I’ve been struggling. I’m just not feeling Gauss and his speedy ways. I find myself not really enjoying playing as Gauss. While that might not be surprising to you, it feels somewhat surprising to me. Because normally I like speedy Warframes. I mean, my favourite Warframe is Volt, the original speedy Warframe, and he’s followed by frames like Nehza, Khora and Rhino, two of whom have speed boosts and one of which has a charge… [Continue Reading]

Looking at the Infested Overall as a Faction

September 10, 2019September 6, 2019 Medic 0 Comments infested, warframe

The Infested are a weird faction. They are their own distinct faction in Warframe, but in a lot of ways, they’re really not. That sounds like a weird thing to say, but the Infested are largely just an ugly mess in the corner that don’t get much attention. Even with Nightwave right now being somewhat focused on the Infested, especially now that there are Emissary derelicts everywhere, the Infested still don’t really have their own thing. The Infested are made up of a handful of units, mostly consisting of Chargers (infested Grineer), Runners, Leapers and Crawlers (all infested Corpus humans),… [Continue Reading]

My Other Favourite Warframes

September 7, 2019September 3, 2019 Medic 0 Comments ash, nezha, oberon, warframe

Anyone who reads the Daily SPUF on a regular basis probably knows that my favourite Warframe by a mile is Volt, distantly followed by Khora and trailed by Ivara. But surely I don’t play those three Warframes all the time, right? No, of course not, I pick Warframes according to what mission I am about to do. But I do have some favourites. What counts as a favourite is quite easy to tell if you simply look in my Warframe arsenal. It’s all the Warframes with Forma in them, right? Well, kinda, yes, mostly. I’ll be honest, I only stuck… [Continue Reading]

Icky Infested Invasions and Other Nightwave Messes

September 6, 2019September 5, 2019 Medic 0 Comments infested, nightwave, the emissary, warframe

So part 4 of the Emissary, Nightwave’s current episode, just came out and it’s… kinda gross. Of course, there’s been this cult running around, worshiping a kid called Arlo who supposedly has healing hands, and he’s been healing a bunch of people and ended up becoming the head of an infested cult. Of course, because of said cult, there are nasty zealots running around who seem to think that if you don’t join, you should die, and they’re not very nice, especially since they use a lot if infested stuff. And of course, the Infestation is, uh, highly infectious. So… [Continue Reading]

An Adorable Mess of Mutated Infectious Tissue

September 5, 2019September 1, 2019 Medic 0 Comments companion, helminth charger, kubrow, ramble, warframe

Helminth Chargers are weird. They’re Kubrows but they’re not Kubrows. They are weirdly cute, infested monstrosities made by squeezing a pink and grey zit on your Warframe onto a Kubrow egg and then incubating said egg. They shouldn’t exist, but they do. But what do these weird mutant dog-like beings actually do? To be honest, I’m not sure. The two breeds of Kavats we have both have a use – one gives huge crit buffs and the other gives random buffs at entirely the wrong times. The other breeds of Kubrow all do various things, even if those various things… [Continue Reading]

The Curious Situation that is whatever Set Mods are supposed to be

September 4, 2019August 31, 2019 Medic 0 Comments modding, warframe

When the Plains of Eidolon came out, something else was added as well, slipped in for us to sort of consider later, and offered mainly as bounty rewards. These were the three set mods, the Augur, Vigilante and Gladiator set mods. The concept behind these mods is simple: you use one of these mods, you get a small bonus. The more mods in the set that you use, the stronger the bonus will be. The Augur mod set gives you shields whenever you use energy, the Gladiator set gives you 15% melee critical chance, which stacks with your melee combo… [Continue Reading]
