Never had much of a problem on T4 as my Valkyr, but this was likely pre-nerf. Was just a matter of knowing when to go in and when to back off.

Nowadays, relying on tricks like that is pretty difficult. The rage+quick thinking valkyr works, but the tank mode valkyr doesn't. Saw a 15k armour rhino drop in about 10 seconds. You really can't do T4 survivals for that long without effective CC any more. :/

So I just took my woefully undermodded Loki into T4.(Only got a max rank overextended, stretch, flow, continuity and streamline on him.)

I got ruined quickly. This game needs to sort out the Visuals on stealth.

What is T4? void?

Yep. Currently, you need a specific team setup for each one.

So I'm taking the plunge. Formaing my burston prime, dex furis, and Mesa.

The Burston alone needs 6 formas.

Damn stuck on mastery rank 8 nigh impossible on ps4

To get to MR8, or to get passed it to get to MR9?


Also, I've now forma'd my Burston Prime twice. Only four more times to go. Also got my hands on a synoid gammacor, before U16 ham,era it slightly. My Conclave still hasn't breached 1000 though. I am at 900 odd though.

I think he means the test to get to nine.

Infinite stealth loki. Literally the easiest thing ever.

So I've been playing this for a few days now at a friend's suggestion. Only mastery 1, have the test for 2 available but working on leveling my Bolto first. Game's pretty fun. Level 30 Excalibur and a 26 Nova. My Valkyr should be ready sometime Friday.

To pass mastery rank 8 test.

But did it, all the info on interwebs didn't help me at all, i just used Excalibur super jump to get on the wall and then used slash dash at the end to get on the platform (on console)

Rank 2, still have enough mastery to test for rank 3 tonight. Really loving my Nova, but the Excalibur is a beefy ole bastard. Still use him for all my testing.

Xcal is getting a major nerf soon/has had a major nerf, In that his Radial Javelin is going to line of sight only. It was a stealth patch, done in secret which PC players noticed.

Rumour is also, that when Parkour 2.0 comes out, making his super jump useless, they're gonna restructure his powers.

I always found him a bit boring, tbh.

I might reinstall and see if I can get back in to it.

I've never really found much use for his jump, honestly, so it'll be good to get a real utility power there. Radial Javelin going LoS is major weaksauce though.

Excal was me first, but i am enjoying Nyx the most, Mag does nothing for as is Rhino, haven't really gone into oboron's abilities. Valkyr can be a bullet sponge if used correctly.

Not enjoying the sanctuary event, why do i have to scan a guy a zillion times with a scanner that cannot lock on. jump ground attack kind of works but the window of opportunity is very small

There's only one scan mission. And the quest line gives you the chroma parts. And is the only way to get him other than buying him.

So I just got my Chroma. Looking forward to the 3479 armour before Steel Fiber.

That makes him the Warframe that can achieve the second highest armour in the game. Couple that with the damage reduction from Elemental Ward with Frost, and he is the tankiest by a country mile.


The build I'm going for has 11,540.34 armour when he's got both powers going.

Couple that with the 7.81* damage boost, and he is one of the best overall frames.

As much as I enjoyed WF in the past, the devs have really killed it for me. They're better than GW as a whole, but that's not saying anything. From the lack of balance (inb4 "but it's pve!"), to the massive grind walls has really turned me off. I look at major updates as they come out, but as far as I can tell, nothing will ever really change. Devs say one thing, but do another.

I'll stop there, I hate to rain on people's fun, even if it is something I have gripes with (i.e. WF)

So I just earned 70k in one mission thanks to Chroma.

Oh hey look, a Warframe thread.

I've not read through it yet, I will shortly.

I'm playing it on PC and will go for a Valkyr. Will take some time to get things rolling, for sure, but when I am ready I will be up for playing with you crazy Dakka people.

Valkyr is good! Like, hella good! One of the tankier warframes. Only 2 frames are tankier.

As long as she retains Excalibur's agility, I'll be happy.

I am growing quite fond of the sprintcrouchglidejumpmeleejump move that sends you aaaaaaaaaaall over the place.

I just playing. I have like 5 hours clocked at this point.

If you want agility, loki is the way to go. Valkyr is kind of Middle of the road for movement.

Compared to Excalibur?

That's every frame, but valk is also known as "spiderframe", try rip line, you'll see why.

Also that crouch jump is called "zorencoptering", get the dual zorens, they fling you roughly double to triple the distance of most melee weapons.

(I'm a MR15/16 iirc)

For speed, loki is the fastest base movement frame, while valkyr or zephyr have the most mobility (zeph "flies", aka can use abilities to remain in the air, and valkyr has ripline) Loki has switch tele, but that requires decoy to be standing somewhere whilst ripline and zeph do not.

Also, excal really has no agility unique to him (I'm not counting super jump for numerous reasons listed above, and a rework that may or may not becoming soon(TM, copyright DE 2013 to present) which will remove it)

Grabbed Valkyr.

Damn, she is awesome. It's like playing an Angry Marine. RAAARGH

If you like valk, and her warcry skill, try the "Eternal War" mod for it, IIRC every kill adds time to warcry for every melee kill, which will help getting the most out of hysteria, along with keeping it up longer if you zoren copter through missions (stop and smack a couple, then keep going).

I know of that mod and I intend to get it, yes.

Don't bother. You get more mileage out of max efficiency, duration and dual zoren/ichor.

There are very few augment mods that are worth building frames around. Regenerative Molt and Irradiating Disarm come to mind.
