Correction! Wisp can be obtained only AFTER beating chimera prologue, apologies! Trinity can be earned earlier however the ambulas farm itself is quite long compared to the ropalolyst. Hey everyone! Hope you all enjoy this weeks upload, Trinity! Be sure to hit that like button and subscribe for more! Your support is greatly appreciated

Raids was the time when she truly shined and didn’t stop until after they were removed and open worlds were brought

Ah, trinity, wanted by none but appreciated by all

Two things I had wished you talked about a bit-- 1. Her EV used to be to everyone in range but got nerfed to line of sight in update 15. 2. Her ult used to be global. Every ally in the level used to get her blessing, until they nerfed that to a nearly impossible to change affinity range cap. As a veteran trinity main, I feel she had the greatest fall from grace as a meta frame. She went from being in every pod of tenno to almost never seen beyond eidolon missions, and even then now it seems rare. I'd like to discuss her abilities more-- Passive: The day she got the passive I felt they were being lazy with it. All the other frames got things that had thought put into it-- mag getting a vacuum on bullet jump, ember getting energy while burning... Trinity got a passive that, assuming you're doing your job correctly, will never ever come into play. Her kit was always about keeping your allies in the fight, and yeah having something at the time that helped pick up allies was great, but even back then I felt like it was a huge letdown, let alone now when picking up allies is, if not instant, safe with tenno stealth. Her 1 always left much to be desired. However when they 'reworked' it to give an aoe heal over time I feel they only did it bc they needed to give all the other frames at least something when it came to her subsume-- so they gave her a sub par ability so that some frame without some kind of self sufficient heal would have an option (LMAO like they wouldn't already). 2. I agree with what you said on this-- its her bread and butter and always will be. 3. Her link was always nice to have when you needed the extra durability. But with rolling guard, adaptability, and any number of subsumes, arcanes, or tenno abilities, it feels out dated. 4. Her blessing used to be amazing. A full invuln that was global that also healed to max and also hit non-wf allies was amazing. These days it's MAYBE only an extra buffer to everyone else's primary healer, Wisp. Trinity is a top teir solo frame if you're ok constantly casting you 2 and 3. For as much as DE tried to remove the spamframe meta, it's hilarious to think they did nothing to fix one of the worst offenders, simply bc she never really was a damage dealer. I can't even say she's supposed to be an early game support anymore, as she's off in pluto in one of the most annoying boss fights (I hate ambulas, might just be my own bias there). TLDR: she has needed a change for a long time. Her kit is out dated and feels like a ball of bandaids. As a trinity main and vet, my heart aches every time I try to play her, she just doesn't feel satisfying, and hasn't for almost half a decade.

Now that they giving Revenant an augment that can give Mesmer skin to his allies, I would like to see DE bring back Trinity's damage immunity

The best law of retribution team I ever played with had a Loki and Trinity. Trinity was so clutch during that time of the game.

Another problem Trinity had (and maybe still has idk) was that EV didn't work on frames who were channelling an ability. So frames like Valkyr or Excalibur, who burned energy like crazy, didn't really benefit from having Trinity in the squad. This also influenced how Survival/Defence missions were played as the last enemy had to be EV'ed for the squad to be ready for the next wave. I remember a lot of times where I'd just go afk and get a snack bc I was useless until the last minute of the wave

One fun bit of Trinity history: for a period, she was _the_ boss killer (looking back at the update history, it may have been for a whole year or longer? :o). There was a funny interaction with Energy Vampire dealing % damage of a target's health, and Well Of Life at the time multiplying the target's health by 10. If you cast Energy Vampire while the target's health was buffed by Well of Life, the damage ticks would do damage based on that increased health value, even after the Well of Life buff expired. So if you cast Energy Vampire just as Well of Life was expiring, the target would be taking 60% true damage (or whatever the percent was) with _each_ pulse. Good times. Though in the good ol' days you could also just ragdoll bosses off cliffs with a trusty boomerang for an instant kill, so we weren't really wanting for boss killing cheese.

Trinity actually still has a really good build in Vampire Leech. If you're in an organised shield gating squad it's free invulnerability forever. If you're not in a shieldgating squad it seriously buffs everyone's survivability, and even stacks with Citrine's Preserving Shell for very comfy runs with any style of defense, be it shields or health tanks.

I've been binging these videos you're putting out & I gotta say, it's given me some great nostalgia. I started warframe around it's release years ago. Stayed on for years after. I haven't picked it up for a while now but it's given me some of the best gaming memories I have. I played with a lot of great people in there & was part of really dope clans when that system came out. I'm tempted to hop back on but kitchen life & my son keeps me pretty busy. Maybe I will one day to show my son what his pops did when he was young haha space ninja adventures

I think what you're doing here is amazing, shining some light on Warframes history. Personally I started playing around in 2020 so it's interesting to learn about how things in the game worked back then. The editing is high quiality, you have a very nice voice for narraring and it's dynamic whitch keeps it entertaining! ( btw can't wait for a video made on Nezha ) Dunno if another positive comment in the sea of hundreads of others means anything tho >.> High hopes you manage to avoid burnout and keep bringing us amazing documentaries analysing each frames history ! :>

I got into warframe only about a year ago, but old trinity’s kit somewhat reminds me of harrows kit with the energy boosts and invincibility on 4.

They should change link from a number of targets to an area of effect instead. That would really bump up her usefulness apart from heals and energy.

Love the vids and somehow you keep making videos on the frames i have which arent many. 😅

Bro everything from your thumbnail to the very last frame of your videos are utter perfection

Honestly watched 2 vids seen a third this is my forth figured I should sub 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 w content

a whole 40 MINUTES LONG video for Trinity! I love you so much omg

Been binging your frame history series. Loving the amount of Hi-Fi Rush ost present. That game was amazing!

I look forward to these videos more than almost everything on youtube.

Really liking the longer video format

Minor correction , Wisp is not easier to obtain compared to Trinity because the boss that drops her is locked behind The Chimera quest, which takes place after The War Within quest that requires the player to reach Sedna post Pluto . Edit : The Chimera quest takes place right after The Sacrifice quest and The Sacrifice quest requires players to complete Chains of Harrow which unlocked after the player has beaten the very last mission on the Void Mot as Host or solo, that node if you ignore Zariman and Kuva Fortress is very last mission node on Star Chart.

Trinity was my main from the day I installed it. I love characters that are hard focused on support and I bought her with plat to be able to play her right away. Link is one of the most interesting abilities in the game and i'm interested to see how the re-introduction of self damage affects her meta. Great vid as always, dude.

You know who else is really niche? Nekros. Can you talk about him? His Desecrate is what he's used for. If people are farming for a resource, they always ask for a nekros and they'll gladly just guard/heal the nekros while they AFK. Even to be useful with supporting or farming at all, he requires mods for Desecrate to be consistent: Despoil and/or equilibrium. The rest of his kit is the same where they aren't particularly good on their own without augments and work against each other with soul punch and terrify pushing enemies away from your shadows. That spreads them out and lowers both his damage and tanking capabilities.

I swapped Trins 1 with Chromas Ability, use champions blessing and she basically becomes a hybrid dps/healer. Love me a good trinity endurance run

Trinity is the base of many future designs. Amesha, the archwing trinity. Vazarin, the focus school trinity.

The funny thing is Trinity is actually a secret dps. Since her second ability does percentage based damage she can deal absurdly high amounts of damage to enemies. She can even evaporate eximus overguard. Yet practically know one knows just how hard this ability hits since most people focus on the energy gain.

Seeing a clip of trinity zorencoptering in vanilla WF gave me gamer ptsd. I yearn for the simpler times. Great video

Thanks for this. I started when the prime was free, so mained her and her sniper for quite a while. Traded for it and always kept her duration helmet on.

An important note aswell; for a decent while of early Warframe, Energy Vampire restored energy to frames with an active Channel Ability, such as Sound Quake or, the biggest offender, Valkyr. And this was back when Valkyr's energy drain per second didn't scale and nullifiers didn't exist yet, meaning you were functionally immortal in Survival even against Infested if you had a Trinity, as you could shred really high level enemies with your Talons, and if yer pocket battery got downed, you just did some slideattacks to clear the room and revived her, rinse and repeat. The nerf to energy restoration while channeling, from all sources except Energy Orbs, started to limit her usefullness in Survival and even Interception to a much lesser degree, and made her combo less with Valkyr and later Mesa, and more with AoE spam frames like Saryn (negative power duration on Saryn also made her Miasma tick faster instead of less total times back in the day, just like Energy Vampire) to clear 5 waves of defense in under 2 minutes on certain tilesets, and scaling nearly infinitely.

Thanks for the great upload!

Trinity was my first Prime. Got her free through Amazon Prime.

Stating it off with HiFI rush the Rush soundtrack in the intro? That my dude was slick. Also dayum, she was the highlight for the raids. Didn't know she was that amazing and even though she ain't much popular rn, I think this was interesting to farm her up

man i love contents like thiss

Nice to see aweblade4 in this video he might not do Warframe anymore but when it came to the game he made the best guides in the community some haven't aged as the game has evolved but he is a important part of Warframe history

I think part of the reason these really good frames went to obscurity is the pace of the game is so fast and so much damage is being dished out that you dont even time to even need to support your group. Unless you have a static that isn't trying to burn through a mission in 10 seconds or less.

Hi, I´m the guy that suggested the vampire leech augment on DC, love your videos man!

Honestly my favorite frame. I’m nowhere near endgame level (am at mastery 11 or something) but I can use this frame and not die at lvl 100+ missions while using the Nataruk to still somewhat deal damage

Mayhaps after Ember, would you be able to look at Hildryn? She’s my favorite frame and I’d love to see your take on her

Back then, how we used to farm high levels was: Defense: - Mesa for damage. - Frost to protect us all. - Trinity - to give energy to Frost & Mesa. - ??? Random leecher. And trinity would just heal us all & give energy to us., wasn't the very early days of warframe, but was at least 7+ years ago, Trinity also ALWAYS joined on stuff like that "8-player" gamemode where you'd do puzzles & kill Vor in the end,. I don't remember the name.

You're to Warframe what Exil is to League. As someone who was around for the early ish days of both games and then stopped playing for years these history videos are awesome to see the META's i missed

What a video to wake up to of my favourite frame

I used to main trinity and created one of the best Warframe memories with her

People just need a new perspective of Trinity. If you like Tank/Weapon Platform type frames (e.g. Rhino/Revenant/Inaros/etc..) then you'll LOVE Trinity. She stacks so many DRs on top of each other, she's not dying ever (Link + Blessing + Adaptation.) Unlike Wisp, Trinity has built-in knock-down resistance with Link, for those of us who don't have Primed Sure Footed. Just Helminth off her first ability for a damage buff like Roar, Xata's, Nourish, or whatever, and she can keep up the DPS as well. My personal favorite use for her is any Steel Path mission that requires keeping an objective alive like Excavation, where she can share her tankiness with objectives in ways Frames like Rhino or Nezha can't. She really isn't irrelevant. She just doesn't fit the "support" role the way she once did. And it really wouldn't take much of a change at all to bring her "support" back into the Meta.

Trinity was my first warframe after mag and it honestly saddens me how little I touch her now with how the meta has shifted.

This video made me kinda sad, considering Trinity was my first main in this game. I started moving away from her when I got tired of just sitting still and pressing 2, which is when I moved to Equinox, then Octavia, and now I'm maining Baruuk. I would still run Trinity on Eidolon hunts (mainly because I was the only one in my group with a fully built one). Love her and would love to see her getting a major overhaul.

As a Trinity Prime main,I’m no old player and still think she is the best for today. Though I play Trinity then most as I don’t teabag my tm8s with supports all the time. I abuse the sh!t out of Energy Vampire so once I kill the enemy I get half my energy back or all(depending if I have flow). Why bring this up. This goes for other abilities. Replace first ability it is completely irrelevant unlike the rest. I use Valkyr’s Warcry as it slows down enemy’s speed overall as well as speed myself. This is because Trinity’s kit buffs us while debuffing enemies,which is one of the only Warframes that has 2(3 for replaced first) that buff while debuff. Now on to the bread and butter. If you use augment for link,u get 75% DR & 💯% armor strip. The Fourth is everyone’s savior,which’s heals everything besides defense targets. If you have augment u gain Crit buff for precent healed. I’m not entirely sure what it does to enemies besides stun them shortly. So you have Warcry which increases speed for us decreases speed for enemies, Link which increases DR as well as armor strip,A guaranteed healer for both shield and health,and Energy vampire(which just cast and immediately kill to get energy aka what I always do) to spam the living crap out of abilities. In a long survival,the ideal Trinity tm8 will cast at least a 1000 abilities. Trinity shines in Steel Path due to debuffs mentioned and survivability of Trinity. When combined with more support Warframes like Wisp,Citrine,and Octavia,y’all will be the most immortal squad ever as even Revenent can’t heal himself as fast. No offense but Trinity or DE is not the issue. If u call Trinity trash,you simply just have a skill issue. I was a Wukong main when I was a noob,but he was boring so I got Every Prime Warframe(except Excalibur obviously) and found which I like the most. Turns out Nezha,Trinity,Loki,Equinox,Vauban,and Citrine(recent). Turns out all of them are underrated besides the last one which is still yet to be rated. Point is,give Trinity a try again.

the moment u've mentioned viver, OMG that's an old memory unlocked 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Interesting that you didnt mention the era of 99% Trinity with the Glaive (or other self dmg) Other than that, very nice video :)

I got my trinity prime from the twitch prime loot, trinity is the reason i started playing Warframe and is still my most played warframe, it brings me nostalgia to play her since she is not that useful nowadays, but I still enjoy bringing her to any mission with the different loadouts i have, she is still my queen

11:00 oh my god the old UI. It’s been years.

Played in 2014-2015 and remembered something about Trinity that allowed for infinite progression and they were responsible for doing the most damage by far. It might have been Energy Vampire or Link or both, there was some silly build where we used two trinities, Rhino and Limbo. Now I have to remember why...all I remember is lasting for hours.

I'd like to point out that trinity is one of the few frames that can abuse the nerfed mark for death helminth ability. Trins 2 is % based per tic. Meaning, if you proc viral on an enemy (couple stacks) and then cast MfD -> EV then you'll gurrantee nuke everything in MfD range. In 2 abilities. For free. Just by priming. Scales infinitely as it is all % enemy health based.

Great vid as always, but I need to know the parts for Obsidian 😭😭😭

Still here and will always main my lobster. Tho I wish she would get a buff without change of how she already functions.

abating link trinity is pretty dope still and will forever be my favorite tanking warframe

Oh man I remember the link-nuke Trinity days. It was crazy to see as a new player. Watching entire armed drop dead from a bunny hopping Trinity.

new video more joy rhis is why i whatch your videos

Hearing baby Brozime takes me back

I remember when I was just starting I spent so much time trying to max out Trinity the best I could so that the cool vets would let me raid with them

Its kinda funny seeing trin being og healer, to now having pretty much her only use being 1 shotting sp angels T.T

I was thinking about giving Trinity a shot

The way id overhaul trinity would be to make her well....the trinity. Have her 1 rotate her through 3 diffrent modes, healer, damage, and tank. Basically she would have 3 other abilities that changed based on her mode so for example maybe her 2nd ability does a wave of healing on her healing mode but on her damage mode it sends out a wave of damage or cc and then on her tank mode it makes all enemies agro to her. Some shit like that i would make her way moe unique.

You should do one of these videos for Loki. Dude use to be the best frame in the game.

Interesting to note: during the raid days where Blessings DR was depended on % HP healed you could actually get 99% DR with a small investment in power strength. That in combination with a very specific glaive/castanas build to get you to exactly 2 HP with Quick Thinking gave her a consistent way to get near invulnerability even after the nerf. This is why you would usually see 2 Trinities in (nightmare) raids, one for Bless and one for EV. Another interesting thing about EV build, before 28.3 Well of Life would increase a targets health and (not sure if this has been changed since) EVs damage is checked on cast and not per dmg tick so you could cast Well of Life on a Target and as it was running out cast EV and deal way more damage than intended. Very useful in extreme endurance missions when combined with equinox to reach damage cap. But this is all music from the past, now she is just a shadow of her former self. Still my favourite Frame though with 1000+ hours in her alone

I remember back in the day my friends bringing me to farm Trinity when I told them I would actually like to use her. They then were even more happy to give me certain mods when I wanted to do an energy build. Now while she isnt as useful as before she can be amazing when paired with frames that are focused and just consuming energy with no generation.

I've played warframe from closed beta upto like 2 years ago , Trinity is my favorite frame. i remember distinctly when the prime came out I really really hate the juggle effect on the armor and was really hoping they got rid of it. there was one Trinity timeline you didn't mention (or maybe i missed it) is the DPS trinity build where DE eventually nerf to the ground. It's basically ruining the damage charts to the end match (where it pointless to read) because you will see like 98% damage from the team comes from Trinity. Its basically when you Well of Life someone it gives HP to traget by like 10x then you EV them where it ticks based HP. by spec in to very low duration, as soon as WoF goes out the final EV tick will insta kill. this scales infinitly so nomattter what level the enemy is it will kill it. you basically one two punch each enemy you see while providing infinite energy. downside of course since you really dont have a functioning Link and Blessing duration you could die very easy, its a fun build where you can kill anyone but you still need to play safe. Eventually it got "fix" nd doesnt work anymore i always though they could have just fix the damage or scaling issue it does and kept it as a form of build that players can choose.

Ah not to mention Mark for Death + EV synergy Though it need lots button presses but it's fun

Trinity is still one of my go to solo frames and feels much better to use than Inaros. With energy regen from EV and Blessing Heal, its just shield gating for days with Brief Respite while abating link strips enemy armor with augment. For now, I subsumed eclipse on her for damage buff. For changes, I hope they remove the enemy limiter on her link similar to what happened with Excal's radial Javelin along with some changes to Blessing like purging all status effects (should be more useful for allies). Oh and you can take advantage of Champion's Blessing by subsuming Mind Control on Trinity and then healing the mind controlled enemy with blessing, thus letting you get the bonus even on solo missions.

I miss my 2013 trin used to be able solo high lvl survival and defense for 4+ hours

What build are you using for the soma trinity combo

I joined warframe when her prime access came out and normal ivara, good ole times

how can you get the camera position on the other side of the character?, I can't see the option on the configuration I need help

one thing to note is we didnt have arcanes but we had helmet adppters switch are still in the game today it will take off one arcane if you to use it like rhinos helmet 20% more movement speed but 15% less str all so like frost helmet arcane witch brings his armor up and str down

Trinity has been my favorite frame for several years, and there are a few points I would like to bring to light: I agree 100% that her absolute best days are behind her, but she is still a very very good frame. She is one of the few frames that can solo any mission type to a high level. Blessing's damage reduction applies to defense objectives, effectively quadrupling their HP, and operators dashing with maxed madurai compensates for any mobility or stealth shortcomings. Wisp does not benefit from these luxuries quite as much as trnity does due to being significantly less tanky (albeit harder to detect thanks to her excellent passive) and having to regularly redeploy motes (my wisp build stacks buffs to power strength, so it feels awkward to deploy inferior motes while on the move). One thing this video left out is the fact that weapons have also gotten stronger over the years. She doesn't need to have damaging abilities when she can wield abating link and a well-built kuva bramma. There are also a few things that went unmentioned with regard to energy vampire. The true damage from EV is actually multiplied by viral procs. If you cast EV on a target that has been primed with enough viral stacks, it will die instantly. Once upon a time, EV was even stronger when used with well of life on low duration builds. EV used to take a snapshot of the target's health at the time it was cast, and WoL used to multiply a target's health by 10. If you cast EV on a WoL-affected target, and WoL expired before EV did, the next EV pulse would immediately kill the target. This could be done to literally any boss at the time, and even players. Yes, PvP was a thing back then in the form of solar rail conflicts. I could cheese those matches with the WoL+EV combo, killing any player I managed to debuff with both those abilities, winning several games singlehandedly. I made millions of credits doing this, as clans would often pay exorbitant amounts of money to players who fought on their side.

Long gone are the days of mandatory Trinity for Vay Hek raids....

What are all those buffs u have active?

You cant stop me using Trinity!

I have been trying to get her prime for a while, Lobster Lady shall spread her wrath.

As probably one of the only handful of trinity mains left, it feels nice seeing that I'm not the only one that feels this way about her. She's so close to being great and I hate that the current meta makes her feel mediocre.

One thing I don’t think you thought about at the time. When Marked for death released trinity became really good aoe nuker. Although it did have some setup and was mainly a meme made by Mr.WarframeGuy and the community. At the time marked for death was 500% of the damage to everyone in x metres. Until DE nerfed it down to 100% and although still good it’s not absurdly good anymore. Was fun while it lasted.

She used to be my main before swapping to octaves but its probably 2 or more years since I played Warframe (just as railjack came in) My first frame was Loki back before he was removed from the starting line-up, my how the game has changed since its founding (I still have the headband and tee 🙂)

Hey so uh can someone tell me the fashion attachments this trinity has on? Never seen such a drippy frame

any video about limbo comming ?

I love the way older Warframe looks, man, and those old Corpus Tilesets are nostalgic af. Btw, what is your Soma build, my guy?

If only Hi-Fi Rush came out before the Octavia video lol

Trinity was my main for the entirety of my early tenno career. My goto combo was stun with energy vampire, then snipe them with the vectis prime i got for free (i forgor how i got it)

Two things I feel would hepl bring trinity out of her low usability rate would be: --Return of Raids. They were fun when you had a competent squad with you. --Let her be the one and only frame to heal defense objectives. Properly. None of that 500 health every sec for a few seconds bs. The old version. Heck, I used to exclusively run a mixed build trinity on Hydron back before Steel Path for weapon leveling, and keep the def. objective topped up because EVERYONE was leveling on Hydron. It helped keep everyone else topped up to, and any DPS runners there appreciated the EV procs. (i did do EV runs on Berehynia back then, but god was it mind numbing. Only ever did it if a weapon needed 4+ forma and I wanted it done fast.) It genuinely think it would be the one change she could do with that would make her relevant in certain longform missions over the other options. And makes her unique of the other healer types.

Man, Trin really has taken a backseat in Warframe... all those hours and missions she has kept us alive and filled to use our abilities with energy that was so sparse... thanks for your service best girl 🫡! Also, another note on Trin DPS that wasn't metioned about her EV doing true damage, at one point in time she could one shot enemies that could be affected by well of life because of the damage percentage property of the ability and well of life just boosted the enemy's health x times, if timed correctly it would just one shot the enemy when casting EV right when well of life ended, that was quite fun to pull on bosses! Though I think this was fixed at one point in time not too long after it was discovered, though I could be wrong and I am just bad at pulling it off maybe XD!

Trinity was my 1rst prime

Interestingly, as of writing in early 2024, trinity has some new strengths. Since shield gating was changed, her EV augment can functionally keep all allies in range immortal so long as she keeps spamming it. With roar subsumed on her build and a few archon shards, she can do 100% max hp true dmg to any foes, even eximus units with over-guard. These factors make her a pretty great frame to have in the new much higher level content available, and I see trinity regularly getting most dmg on the team due to being able to instakill level 300 eximus units. For anyone curious, 376% power strength is required for roar + EV dmg to break 50% per tick, which is the threshold to kill any target in 1 cast.

Started back in Feb of 2014 and Trinity is my most used warframe at 18%. Its been years now since I last played her on the plains and no other frame has reached even half that percentage used. I miss her, but Wisp was an easy transition.

Love how you used the Hi Fi Rush song in the beginning. Needs more recognition imo. Such a good game.

Ever since EV trinity got mega nerfed I haven't had the same fun with her, I miss old trinity

I love playing trinity! I honestly like playing her much more than Wisp

I just want Trinity cause she looks pretty and easy to fashion frame

Railjack has uncapped affinity range. Just throwing this out there.

just make link like a spider web starting from trinity and linking multiple enemys together which then take shared damage spreading damage in an AoE and make pool of life radiate from trinity , maybe rwork blessing too i think that would be cool

Trin used to have a setup with marked for death were you mark, then EV. But DE being DE got rid of it

You can do tons of damage with her 2 using one of the non Warframe helminth abilities and you basically one shot an enemy with true damage with viral stacks and the immense damage spreads to all enemies nearby it's super fun to play

man, i miss when blessing was a global skill...just corner heal from across the map
