Valkyr''s good, but outside of Hysteria, she's surprisingly fragile. After you take a certain amount of damage, the DR from the armour starts falling off drastically, which is why she dies so much. To solo, you need a frame with a way to replenish shields/health, get out of danger quickly, or have a tonne of health pads.

I am sticking with my Valkyr - my love for the Warframe is greater than my love for soloing.

But first I decided to go smack down Jackal a few times for the Rhino blueprints.

Does he often bug? On two attempts now I've killed all his legs but his shield is still up, and he becomes invincible.

Not that I've experienced, but I've never farmed Rhino. If I were to try and get a Rhino, I'd just get the Prime, seeing as he's not that hard to get. Hint. Hint.

I've just stayed with my excalibur so far. I haven't really found my niche yet.

Is that why there is no more Excalibur Prime? because he was overpowered?

No, because he was for founders only.

Yep, and the worst prime in existence.

Also. I'm in two minds about Saryn. On one hand I can Miasma the world eventually. But on the other, i have to get there!

Def, his prime is a recolor and the tiniest bit of gold trim. And maybe some shield recharge speed.

Nah. If he ever had that, it's now gone. He's legit just a reskin atm.

I know. But he's got the same recharge as vanilla excel right now.

Hm, must have missed the change. Kinda funny as other primes have advantages over their nonprimes.

So. I finally got the brakk. I was with a friend who was trying to get it and had the same parts as me. At which point, I queued for a solo exterminate on earth and i got jumped.

This means that I now need despair, and I'll have an incarnation if every weapon that is currently boss only.

WELL. Ton! Kor! Ton! Kor! Ton! Kor!


Seriously. 36 million damage crits are sexy. I've seen a 69999472 crit before.

Did the tubemen event, very nice underwater level, but get not to see much as people rush like crazy to finish the level

Life Strike suffers from a lot of DR. It's not a preventative measure. Rather, it's an "Oh gak" button. Relying solely on that will get you killed 9/10 times anything higher than a T2.

In the raid? God help you, because it won't.

I've pretty much been in the same boat. Farming that for cores and credits is a pain, but it's still far more efficient than anything in the game ever was, barring E-Gate.

I main it for all of my melee builds, never encountered any problems with it. Saves my sorry ass all the time in T3 to the point that I do rely on it, and with zero problems. Only time it fails me in T4, and that's because of fething Lancers ripping me a new one before I can close.

If you view T3 as a baseline for mods, then you're in for a horrible shock.

If you've ever played T4, or the raid, you'll understand. In the latter, the enemies START at level 80. Life strike is a get out of jail card. It should not be your first line of defence. I stick it on all my weapons. Including my 55k Damage Jet Kitty, and my 36k damage DNik. That doesn't mean I use it at any whim though. I still have a warframe, primary and secondary that can pull me through over an hour of T4. They're my main tools of survival, and they should be that for everyone.

Oh, I learned that a while ago. It's why I run Oberon with an energy build to spam reckoning to keep the enemy down and just speedrun it. The only missions I can't complete are those that require prolonged contact with T4 enemies, and that's largely due to mod constraint. Bloody Primed Mods are a pain to get, and horrendously expensive to buy from /trade.

Especially Chroma. Good lord I'm going to have to put a lot of work into making that frame workable for the end game. If only my PC didn't crash and is in requirement of a factory default restore X_X

You don't need Primed mods. For the majority of my frames, I only use a Primed Flow, and it's pretty much at the same rank as a max rank flow or one rank higher.

As for T4. You can solo T4 survival for an hour with a well build Excalibur. That's not even using a melee weapon.

As for Chroma, he's not really an end game frame. The end game frames are generally Nova(Prime), Loki(Prime), Excal(Prime), Saryn, Mesa, Mag, and Trinity.

I took a long break-- from about the time archewings were released-- and got back in to it... feels like my weapons were more powerful than before, heh.

Getting my archewing for tthe first time lol.

I liked the first archwing mission where you went from a normal mission into a flying mission, i find most archwing missions boring, i wish they did more hybrid missions, maybe sharkwing will be better

So Tubemen is over. #Deralife.

But seriously. If DE want to rig events, they deserve what they get.

Also, just heard that the tac alert on PC right now gives the slash set. I cannot wait for it to come to ps4.

Wait, the Dera Vandal got chosen?

How the hell did that happen?

I know the EA Celestial Dragons alliance members solo'd the event for Nef at the end.

I'm not sure if any others did though.

I'm enjoying hydroid so far. just came back after a big break and bought him. I'm looking for a good bow frame though? Volt maybe?

Loki is the best. Infinistealth gives you the time to actually aim.

Mirage gives you a safety net with her mirror image things.

Really, any frame works with a bow, as long as you play it right.
