The Best Stealth Options in Warframe

June 14, 2023June 14, 2023 Medic 0 Comments equinox, ivara, stealth, warframe, wukong

Stealth in Warframe is a bit finicky. On the one hand, stealth can be hard to maintain, mostly because of how enemy AI works. On the other hand, stealth is mostly optional for about 90% of the game. However, when you do need stealth, there are, luckily, plenty of options. So here are five options for when you need to be stealthy. Ivara The number one option for stealth HAS to be Ivara. Ivara is built to be stealthy. Not only can she remain invisible for an insanely long time, but she can also distract enemies, put them to sleep… [Continue Reading]

On Ammo Nerfs

September 26, 2022September 18, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ammo, balance, explosives, warframe, wukong

So, part of the Veilbreaker update came with some form of balancing. For a while now, explosive weapons have dominated throughout all areas of Warframe’s PvE content, and people were getting tired of it. I can understand why, because no one likes running after someone just picking up loot. However, rather than just nerfing everything into the ground, we ended up with, well, ammo. Both in magazine sizes and how much ammo we can hold. It’s quite interesting. Only two types of ammo. We used to have loads of types of ammo. Ammo for most weapon types, funnily enough. But… [Continue Reading]

The Problem of Boom-Kong and High Explosives

August 16, 2022August 10, 2022 Medic 0 Comments bramma, explosions, warframe, wukong

Ever since self-damage was removed from explosive weapons, these explosive weapons have rocketed in popularity. But are these weapons too good or powerful? Some people think so, others don’t. As for me, I am someone in the middle. So let’s have a nice, calm conversation about explosives. And a familiar monkey friend. AoE weapons are very strong Warframe is a horde shooter. You have to kill a lot of enemies to get anywhere in this game, whether it’s a simple rescue mission or an hours-long survival. And rather than killing enemies one at a time, it’s much more efficient to… [Continue Reading]

Maybe Wukong is a little too strong…

May 20, 2022May 10, 2022 Medic 2 Comments monkey king, overpowered, strong, warframe, wukong

With every anniversary event in Warframe, we are also given a peak into player stats. After all, it’s interesting to see which frames are popular and which ones aren’t. However, for the last couple of years, we’ve had the same Warframe at the top, quite a bit higher than expected. The frame in question is Wukong Prime, which has managed to beat all three starters when it comes to most-used Warframes. But why though, why is Wukong Prime so popular? Plenty of everything. Wukong has got a little bit of everything. He has a damage-dealing twin that uses our weapons;… [Continue Reading]

Ranking Exalted Weapons – Warframe’s Best and Worst Exalted Weaponry

January 27, 2021January 21, 2021 Medic 0 Comments exalted weapon, exalted weapons, excalibur, hildryn, ivara, mesa, titania, warframe, wukong

Exalted weapons are awesome. The ability to suddenly summon a weapon of death out of thin air is just so cool. Even if you’re already armed with an explosive bow, the badassery of summoning another bow is too cool to pass up. But there are lots of exalted weapons, and they’re all definitely not equal. In today’s article, I’m going to rank all twelve exalted weapons. Note: this is mostly based on personal opinion. You can get HUGE damage numbers on all of these. In fact, properly modded, these are all insane. But I like to consider usability and coolness… [Continue Reading]

Boomkong – The Joy of Wukong and Exploding Bows

February 28, 2020February 20, 2020 Medic 0 Comments bow, explosions, warframe, weapon, wukong

I’ve never been a fan of exploding weapons in Warframe. Explosive weaponry is simply too scary for the average Tenno. Because of how much damage explosive weapons do, we blow ourselves up. A lot. To the point that we leave most explosive weapons to one side. In fact, the only really popular explosive weapons were originally weapons like the Tonkor… which had next to no self-damage. Which was removed. The Exceptions to the Rule The Kuva Bramma on the other hand is quite a popular weapon. While it IS a Kuva weapon and requires killing a Lich to obtain, it’s… [Continue Reading]

A Brand New Monkey God

July 23, 2019July 20, 2019 Medic 0 Comments monkey, prime, ramble, warframe, wukong

I never understood why so many games have to have a Sun Wukong character. If you have a popular game with a multitude of characters to choose from and collect, there’s always some sort of monkey god. Warframe is no exception and they have not one but two Warframes that appeal to more Asian markets – Nezha and Wukong. While I’ve spoken about Nezha before, Wukong kinda sat unused in my arsenal for the longest of times, until his Primed self came out. Through an amazing stroke of luck, I managed to farm all 4 parts in 5 missions (and… [Continue Reading]
