Let’s keep her underrated guys. That way she can slide under de’s nerf radar.

Important point people need to know: Enemies don't need to be picked up to take damage from tornados. Eximus and other Overguard units will get melted just the same.

Naturuk's perfect shot is just beyond the limits when equipped on Zephyr. I like to subsume spectrosiphon with augment so I can provide the team with infinity energy too.

Playing Zeph with max range and Gara's subsumed and the augment. Its a passive way, but u dont use Energize. With max range u can play every defense mission without any dmg at the amp, in combination with Zephs 3rd as a bulletshield. So u have a free arcanechoice...for armorstrip simply use a good dagger like the Karyst or Nepherie with gas and the Argonak with both Amalgam mods. The Gasclouds staying so long and ticking so fast in the tornados, that all incoming enemys are stripped instantly. Have fun Tennos

use her second ability, throw glaive prime and when it hit it explodes then quickly press heavy attack button to detonate it second time, bleeding will kill all enemies, you don't have to do any more steps... you can also jump and then throw glaive prime, because of zephyr passive will increase the slash status damage even more.

Guys hear me out, if you go into a mission with a pink Zephyr, you’ll instantly get more powerful, believe me

Btw if you don’t want to put an armor stripping ability, you can group enemies with tornadoes, use your vastilok with shattering impact, then boom, armor stripped in an instant

Great video I really like her very fun Thank you sir ......And I did hit that Sub button

Worth noting that the tornadoes have a multiplicative effect on your crit multiplier, just like Volt's shields. So running double CD on your guns can be really valuable. The CC bonus from being airborne is only additive, however.

I love zephyr, it’s so good to see her getting the attention she deserves

Yo, take a beam weapon (such as a high crit gaze cuz kitgun rivens are easy to come by and are really cheap to buy if u plan to roll) with cascadia flare (this arcane is additive instead of multiplicative, so cascasia flare can out right replace hornet strike because cascadia flare does double the damage) mod for viral heat, plus bane mod (only for endurance runs) Zephyr's tornadoes excel the best with high fire rate, high crit, medium status secondary weapons... if it can crit, even better because shooting the tornado has a hidden passive of increasing your crit damage by 200% Without a doubt. U want to use airburst augment to scale up ur damage further (with enuff enemies you can get to +500% more damage on secondaries on top of the +480% from cascadia flare) airburst augment is capped at 500%, but power strength affect how much ur percentage increases per enemy pulled. The percentage will not increase unless your next airbust shot pulls in more enemies, but at the same time, u need at least 1 enemy pulled to reset the timer with ur current stacks unaffected. So high range, High duration, and low strength works amazing. I recommend molt augmented arcane and pistol fire rate arcane because of this. I like to replace her 1 with either spectrospihon (gara's subsume) plus augment for energy orb heaven. But I might switch to dispensary (protea's subsume) since you don't need her augment and it's more reliable especially with equilibrium+ primed flow. u don't need efficiency at all (I also have 2 energy orb efficiency archon shards so energy orbs are 50 energy a pop.... if u use [energizing shot] exilus mod for pistols, u can get 100 energy per orb if it crosses ur beam shots). I also run unairu to strip armor/shields since airburst conveniently has a tight cluster effect that basically garentees everything gets stripped.

i think most ppl play zephyr 1 time see that she floats wierd compared to other frames and dont touch her again but she is soooo strong yes and btw you can switch the hold down and tap for abilities if you pref the other way around

Okay. Got myself a Zephyr Prime just now and will play it in 3 days once its done.

Good info on archon vitality with zephyr 4th

hi, i just use unairu school. then place the unairu shield strip bubble around tornadoes and once ive gathered enough enemies, i shoot my caustic strike that 100% armor strips them and demolish them. u dont even need to armor strip. also for my build i put spectrorage and spectrosiphon and built for a little more range :D

I am Birdframe_Prime and I support this message. That said, from multiple endurance runs, you genuinely don’t need armour strip for hours of content. Nothing can challenge you on Grineer missions, a simple application of Radiation fixes Infested, and your only trouble is Nullifiers.

Her 1 let's you hover, with a few of the right mods you can have 80% damage reduction while hovering/ air borne. I have had a few people ask me for my build. I had almost just as many kills as a saryn lol.

Spectrosiphon zephyr has always been my steel path defensive frame.

So i'we done some testing. It seems no matter how much Strength i have, 300% or 40% enemies taking damage from Fire procs nearly if not the same rate. Also noted that with equipped Bane Prime instead of Serration burns enemies quicker, and Bane + Serration is even faster. So Fire procs probably double dip from Banes, or it's just more damage to starting Fire proc overall. But still, fire kills not even nearly as fast as Gas. Thing is, if we got 20 enemies in tornado, when we transfer them Fire - each of the enemies will proc fire and will burn individually. While if we transfer Gas - each enemy will summon a gas cloud, and every single enemy will take damage from every other of 20 Gas clouds separately. So x20 damage. Same goes for Electricity, but with Electricity enemies themselves become damage dealers and if they die one by one - there will be less overall damage with each dead enemy, still powerful tho, and easier on video performance. My suggestion - try Crit + Hunter Munitions + Gas + Electric(either one of them). Pick weapon with high crit chance, decent status chance that can deal high initial instances of damage(preferably hit-scan). Since Gas has maximum amount of 10 stacks it's important to initiate first Gas proc with highest damage possible, instead of small but fast ticks.

Also I just want to note, you still get the buff of archon vitality even without leveling the mod. That’s usually how I run it because it takes up space.

Ayoooo. Baro on Friday. GET YOUR DUCATS

Zephyr mained since day 4 of my Warframe career. I've tried the rest and I always come back to my lacca zeph!

I was wondering if those mod would work with tornado, thanks for testing it. I was too lazy to do it

Dissapointed to not see my stropha carnis combo that I showed you, also weapons with electricity and gas work really well, for example the basmu and ambrasador alt fire. Anyways, love the vids, keep it up!

As a zephyr main i suggest stropha for melee, it takes one heavy attack to one shoot ANYTHING inside the tornados, if you cant kill whit one hit, just trow some stats at the tornado and do it again. Now it should one shoot

the problem is that the damage delivery has not always been with the Tornados I don't know with which update that was but somehow no one ever noticed and also by that it was also never tested

and yeah, she has been my "second" main for a long while, I just can't get enough of her I subsumed spellbind on her so with her 3 she is basically immortal to absolutely anything except melee

You can use shards to buff pistols, use that plus her and the MIGHTY SEER. You'll be more powerful than god

Zephyr is my new main now ty

why Primary Deadhead on the Phantasma? Do you wanna deny the stacking and with this the damage the Phantasma does for whatever reason or is there something in this build which proccs headshots ?

I use the nataruk instead with fire and archon vitality you really don't even need armor strip with her at all with the nataruk build it just goes boom with red 1mil crits I subsumed garas instead for way better energy economy I don't have arcane energize yet :)

I recommend no helminth. First ability when held makes you hover, draining energy. Constant passive-online. I recommend arcane antitoxin or the slash one. Cause for some reason those procs like to randomly slip through your 3.

wouldn't stynax's helminth ability also be great or even better on her than terrify?

Hah I could've told you. It's my main frame. I always knew the powah!

The only warframes I see people play as is ember volt nova syrn and that's mostly it and that new spinning Lazer shooting bayblade prime warframe

The bubonico alt-fire is way too good, not to use on the tornadoes. In sp survival missions I can get to 70-80 minutes easy, but at that point I get a bit tired and bored, so I extract.

I loved Archonzphyr in The Terminator

Target fixation augment scales indefinitely you want to see power then see her 1st ability with a million % buff doing divebmbs into tornados for hundreds of millions ahaa

zephyr is the best utilitarian frame imo. he has an ability for almost any situation and his one can be helminthed for anything with no overall loss. his passive is 150% crit damage boost just by jumping, need to group enemies/farm containers (even thru walls) hit his 2, need damage reduction hit his 3 to tank, need to hold a point or take out a heavy enemy hold 4. kuva survival, sp fissure survival, defense, mobile defense, plains/deimos/fortuna bounties, demolysts the frame is great at endurance runs. positioning (near a corner to protect ur back), keep 3 up and funnel enemies into 4 tornado with ur 2. once u break a heavy units guard they get sucked up into ur 4 and if things arent dying fast enough just double jump and shoot ur tornado. all very simple.

My almost main Birb Girl, have a loadout with her on top of others. Her tornadoes all though have two major issues: 1st - they don't succ enemies if they are standing mere 1-2 feet below the horizontal plane they were cast on. Like if tornado is chiling at the top of the stairs, enemy that is on the stairs slightly lower it can just stand there, even of he is within horizontal radius of effect. So we forced to constantly pull enemies with her 2nd, gladly, it costs less energy while airborne, but still it is annoying. 2nd and more important - enemies with ranged weapons JUST FREAKING STOP ADVANCING right near the end of it's area of effect. Like, you cast tornadoes, enemy charges forward, but then they see a tornado and like, nah, i'll better stand here, couple inches from where it succs me. So again, spam 2nd. But skill is still worth it, pay off is HUGE. I made a bug report thread on forum, but no response. Like nobody cares.

would this work with archon stretch?

I’m gonna try this with boar incarnon

you only really need armor strip for endurance runs, i just run max duration and then for the weapon, Electric Quanta Vandal or a Gas Kuva Chakkurr. It kills 165 corrupted HG in under 1 second usually. Quanta Vandal just applies massive amounts of elec and chakkur is if you prefer a 1 Shot kill all red crit type build

I love Zephyr with sickening pulse. I'm make a gas build and watch them all melt.

Best frame

They should make her passive tpose when she is in the air

Put Spectorate under the Tornado for more safety XD

try archon shards+ railjack and happy crash. for this reason keep none archon shard warframes for railjack! imo archon shards need a rework a bit in the future, at least befor DE release the mobile version.

Love Zephyr! I'd like to subsume an armor strip ability that doesn't rely on strength as I like to mod her for max duration/range. Any thoughts?

Its one of those frames that absolutely sleepwalks through most content but really has to plan ahead for Acolytes, Sisters, Archons, etc. How did I not know you could hold down 4 for targeted tornadoes!?!?!?

Let me help you out: AOE weapons go through her defensive 3 and enemies can knock her out of her 1.

I love when KZfaqrs put in there title game breaking or op weapon in there title then are confused after when those weapons and frames get nerfed soon after.

I'm wondering if subsuming Ember's fireblast to armor strip would be better with this build? additional heat procs and what not

True

Zephyr + kuva chakkurr = funny numbers

I miss this game 😔

I've been maining Zephyr since like 2018-ish. It's funny how people are just now beginning to realize how good she actually is. Originally, I just built her with the intention of leveling her for MR and dumping her. But after playing with her while leveling, I instantly was like, "Wow... She's fkn amazing!" For all the new players out there, Zephyr can _easily_ clear the normal star chart with minimal investment and a mediocre weapon. Or, an easy to get extremely good weapon such as the Dread. Common drop from the Stalker, 50% _base_ Crit Chance, and shooting the tornadoes essentially turns the Dread into an absurd early game AOE weapon. Late game, there's a lot of extremely good weapons out there, but for the extra lulz, Incarnon Dread kinda becomes a meme weapon. The damage output is so ridiculous, you actually break your own tornadoes (doing way too much damage) and have to self-nerf to prevent them from breaking.

loads of people say she's underrated, but if I ever find a public game for a steel path mission there's almost always a zephyr. I think she's pretty well recognized by now

Is it possible to put archon flow and archon vitality?

had a few dudes trying to tell me that zephyr is bad lmao.

It would be great if u will show ur builds in actual gameplay not only simulacrum

How is Zephyr B tier. She's basically untouchable but that's also the reason why I stop using her

Who else uses a Target Fixation build?

archon vitality does not work with zephyr.. did you do any testing on this or just assume it worked?

Rule of thumb: You don't want a warframe to be noticed. If it's good to you, then by all mean, just keep it that way. Don't let DE sniff anything 'OP' in the game...

hi

electricity can be even better, or gas

The frame that their 4th is strong. Mostly are to be replaced by Helminth.

why not archon continuity instead? no sacrifice needed on the build build radiation, toxin Kaboom!!!

Her problem is that she is slow and clunky, she hates getting magnetized by acolytes, she is not the best against bosses. The reason she is unpopular and why I dont use her is because for steel path endurance there are a ton of options already, some of them do more damage, some of them have better survivability, a lot of them are less annoying to use. Maybe with 200% casting speed I might consider using her but before i get all the shards needed for that I will stick with less annoying options. Also whoever is responsible for making the overframe tier list is from another universe, I doubt anyone who plays the game genuinely agrees with it.

:)

Zephyr and a gas build Ohma equals delete 😈

Idunno, seems kinda slow. I use 40% strength / high duration / medium range build. As weapon i use Kuva Hind with Crit/Hunter Munitions, Gas + Electric. It takes 1 burst or one semi-auto shot to end 10 corrupted gunners and 10 bombards of 190lvl near instant. Like - TR-R-R, and they suffocate while bring electrocuted. All though knowing that Archon Vitality works with her, i'll definitely play around with it. Hell. To make mah gal even more powerful? Count me in. Did you knew, that Tornadoes transfer damage even if target isn't succed but standing within area of effect? It also can pop Aerolyst's cans! AND it transfers damage to freakin' arbitration drones! I swear, if you need to defend something while killing bunches of incoming enemies - Zephyr is you go-to frame. MO, Interception, Excavation etc. Especially on that blasted Kuva Fortress defense, you just stand/hover on target, electric floors can't shock you, turrets can't hit you, flamethrowers can't reach you. You basically own the place more than Crazy Queens.

Are you south african?

Zephyr is one of the best warframes, I agree he is definitely a tier 1 frame, any that that's put in tier B they clearly NEVER! use zephyr god

Just got her recently but I find her passive to be nauseating

ur just slam urself into the ground hit his first ability augment for infinite scaling, Nothing more funnie than killing ur enemies for cracking ur head in the floor

Zephyr needs zero forma to ace his way through steel path. Untouched and DONT TOUCH HER KIT! NOTHING CAN BE REPLACED WITHOUT BREAKING HER!

4th

DE notices a influx of players suddenly flock to this frame DE: TENNO DID I JUST CATCH YOU HAVING FUN??!! Nerfs The playerbase: Oh lawd Jesus mah BaBy

Power strenght for me does nothing in him

overframe tier list is prob the most scuffed tier list ur going to find in the community dont base anything off of it

The only problem of zephyr is.... UNPAINTABLE INNER PARTS ON DELUXE SKIN! WHY IT IS NOT GRAY OR SOME OTHER NEUTRAL COLOR! THIS BLUEBERRY YOGHURT PAINT IS RUINNING FASHION FRAME!

Dive bomb augment thank me later

uhhhhh... isn't zephyr a dude?

Overframe is clown school lol I take everything on there with a grain of salt.
