Hello I have returned

So a few things to mess around with: 1. Lavos with his passive augment is the king of blast. With the infused 200% blast, you effectivly store 90% of the damage from the hit which inflicts the proc instead of 30%. Combine with the new elementalist mods and faction modifiers for STUPID aoe. (Especially spicy on sobek) 2. While gas was not directly changed mechanicly, it is now UNRESISTED instead of being one of the most resisted damage types in the game. (The same is actually true for a lot of elements now) 3. Magnetic now effects OVERGUARD aswell, meaning magnetic + Secondary Fortify on any status secondary can DELETE overguard from targets. Turning them into effective eximus killers to pair with aoe primary weapons. (Bonus point's to the Zylok with it's augment)

Sounds like the update is working exactly as advertised. They didn't want to toppel the old meta, just give you more options when modding and they did that pretty damn well imo

When you discover this channel in februari after 6 years of playing, finally fully understand the damage types inner workings and then they drop this update: -_-

Who 360p gang? EDIT: I think the rework made it easier for players to have their setups ready for each faction, but I also feel like the old meta (like viral + slash/heat) was nerfed a bit, but it could be just me though.

I think the thing I like about this is that there's only, like... three cases where a damage type is penalized-- Radiation on Corrupted, Heat on Kuva Grineer, and Corrosive on Sentients I think off the top of my head? So it feels more now like you're getting a bonus for going out of your way instead of a penalty for doing it wrong-- you lose a 50% damage boost to one of your damage types, instead of this multi-layered thing where not only does Magnetic suck as a status, it's also incredibly heavily penalized against everything, including half the things it's supposed to be good against. So like, personally, as much as I see people complaining that now modding per faction is more important, I actually think the game is much kinder now to you having a particular element Setup you don't want to switch off? Since, it's not like we ever cared about base IPS damage types, and it's not like Corroisve got MORE impactful, and now Gas and Magnetic and Blast and Cold and Electric and stuff don't have these ridiculous -75% penalties on all relevant enemies in the game. There's massively fewer wild swings in a build's quality between missions.

I can't wait for this to BIRTH a new meta.

Personally recommend gas and cold for future because enemies being frozen while stuck in a gas cloud is ideal since they are forced to take all the damage, gas and electric obviously also work. I love how DE made damage over time is now viable again.

Welcome back MC, hope you had a nice vacation! Was super interested in the status rework, and been enjoying it some. Think really enjoy magnetic, if read the wiki and patch notes correctly, doing more damage to overguard and nully bubbles! Made some of the builds personally run with a bunch a different statuses modded on the weapon do more! Super interested to see what you cook up! Thanks for the helpful video MC!

Welcome back, Mister KZfaq Man! As someone who does use Gas a fair bit (Gas/Electric!) I can say that it is a bit more visible. It looks like a proper fluffy cloud now. It's still pretty damn hard to see, though. I think they need to tweak it a bit more. I'm really enjoying the rework. Like you, I like messing around with different weapons and element combos, so it's nice to see things pay off more often (Blast is blasty!). Also, while it's not a weapon, I recommend checking out Ember. She's in a really good place now. Super fun to play. (Frost is too, but my Frost needs work, and since my Ember was more or less set to go I've been focused on her.)

I like magnetic for eximus units. I like the blast change. I'm still trying to work out a good universal combination. Like you, I hate swapping builds for different factions.

blast was the one thing i spent a tone of time testing already, man does that status do actual work now. did take a good chunk of time to realize that all of the blast proc dmg that isnt on kill or 10 procs dont have aoe. but i can see a tone of insane setups with melee influence. the one xoris setup i was doing quadradicly nukes so many enemys since it triggers so many blast procs with volitile rebound

I'm really vibing with running blast on my Latron's incarnon form. It's had blast damage on it for a long time since the build I use is focused on making my non-incarnon mode proc cold and puncture, which turns the heat on the incarnon form into blast, but now with cold being super buffed AND blast being made into a really solid choice for big area damage I've been absolutely wrecking house with normal and incarnon form.

The Sisters of Parvos in the operation ascension drop very interesting new mods. You're probably going to want to get all of the Semi Cannonade mods and redo some builds soon. It seems to make some non-meta weapons more viable (and I can only imagine what meta weapons like Kuva Zarr are playing like now). I'm disappointed by one thing. Ember's Healing Flame augment was buffed to generate overguard, but that effect *doesn't work as a subsume*. Only Ember benefits. I actually rebuilt my Zephyr to use Healing Flame, before this rugpull. :-/

Welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your vacation dood

After some unscientific testing of various guns I have fund what feels best for a general "I dont have to touch the mods" setup. Strun P incarnon with Magnetic, heat, and shotgun elementalist instead of glav savvy. With 400% status it still force procs at least 4 stacks each , mag, heat, slash, impact puncture, and blast. Crit leatum with Corrosive and cold for hard targets like acolytes and sisters/ liches Glaive P with viral and Electricty and Melee infuence for the arcane.

ALSO the new cold rework on frost broke biting cold as a whole, it just doesn't work anymore, very sad cause i had a whole build lined up for the change. edit: apparently it was just in simulacrum

Consider: Corrosive cold Gotva prime with primary frostbite. Boost its crit damage even higher, and armour strip.

i'm loving the new status. cold and blast being good, yeah!

Oh MC is back where's my souvenir bud xD

Tbh, I really have not changed things from how they were before. Though after you do an in depth review I might. Really do like the damage number changes though, way easier to read now rather than the previous clouds of numbers.

When making a video about status effects explain them in the beggining?

Wolf’s sledge with blast is seriously silly for range. With the right build you can easily wipe out the floor with SP enemies throughout the SP chart up to some light endurance thanks to the new mods. Reckon you could do something more controlled with sampotes’s jump and heavy slam build.

Welcome back Mr KZfaq Man

I'm having a ton of fun with blast, and I'm so glad I chose magnetic for my Tenet Pasmor and Tenet Glaxion.

Sounds like a good change.

Hope ya had good hols missed ya vids 👍

Magnetic also does more damage to overguard, and procs electricity when overguard or shields break

Bane mods are finally usable with the new layout!

Blast on phage is nice. De should do something about text bouncing/flickering when blast prock appear and disappear on 10 stack.

The "Unified Resistances" refer to the fact that before this update some Corpus machinery would use Ferrite armor which Grineer heavily used or that one infested enemy would give the infested enemies ferrite armor when it gave them armor. Since they now made the weaknesses based on faction and not health and armor type, these wont cut your dps down substentionally. Now every Corpus including all the corpus machinery has the same weaknesses for example. So, the Acolytes are still using their own weaknesses which is why you got the results you got with the Acolytes.

Also Magnetic is more effective against enemy overguard, paired with the new Secondary Fortifier, Eximus destroyer.

I actually flipped my lid day one when I went to simulacrum to test some builds and found out slash wasn't bypassing armor which happened to be a bug but I thought it was a literal thing they snuck into the game until they said that it was a bug lol

Personally running Blast, Corrosive, and Radiation along with the new change to hold the button for semi auto weapons has made semi auto weapons a lot more fun for me

As a newer player, I like the status rework and the resistance rework, the previous system required a too much in-depth knowledge of every enemy type and subtypes to be able to create a proper setup around everything

dude make a break from his vacations to drop us content, what a chad!

Not sure if you've experienced it, but I thought i'd mention since you were using the xoris, there seems to be an issue right now where glaive detonations don't do any damage, no status, no self stagger, nothing, apparently its caused by dual wielding a glaive and a secondary with an alt fire but I unequipped my secondary and still had the issue ymmv

Blast is particularly amazing on high rate or fire weapons that can get a decent amount of status. As stacking blast repeatedly can allow you to hit the max 10 stacks and cause the big booms. My fav option for this is the Kompressa as it just coats everything in nuclear bubbles

Blast + kompressa = boom boom bubbles.

As far as we know acolytes don't have the resistances of the mission type they are there own faction.

For some reason, my upper-left corner map and lower-right ability section have shrunk, I thought it was an UI update, but seeing yours, how do I get mine back to normal?

11 forma Amprex. I knew I liked this guy for a reason.

Love the reworks personally

Use the cold arcane for primaries when you use the Corrosive n Cold combo....it'll buff your crit damage even more....and multi shot.....so more cold procs and more frozen enemies...for still more crit damage 😅

i love the reworks, feels nice to not be locked down to Viral Slash.

an update isn't real until you post about it, welcome back!

fun idea, put blast on a oneshot weapon, like paris prime. if it procs, everything dies

Well bang goes the warframe weapon encyclopedia

Blast Baruuk, go try it if you are reading this

Yeah overall it's been pretty good. Although I will admit the sad part is that we got more than I hoped with blast statuses range. However it's a bit.... anti synergestic for what I hoped it would be for. You see I had some hopes that it'd give singletarget weapons some means of staying relevant and giving us range. However it seems the selection is a bit smaller and beams are the home for blast weapons. You *can* roll it on single target weapons like auto's but enemies will stagger about and knocking them away, so ideally you want a weapon capable of high damage to begin with. First thing I tried was kuva karak in hopes that I could give the poor thing some aoe but... it just didn't work super well..

The only thing I’m upset about is that DE changed things so that status effects no longer inherit your triggering weapon’s or ability’s energy color(s)

So far, the status and health rework seems very solid! Some interactions seem a bit too strong, but Rainbow Builds are back on the menu!

With these new elemental changes, do you think Voruna is gonna be more viable for high-level content

I MAY be overmodded, but the armor cap feels a little too low. I can take a Tenet Glaxion modded for Gas against Steel Path Grineer and it still annihilates them. That said, Blast with something like the Zhuge Prime is delicious.

I've been running Mag/Tox builds. It just chews through everything in the Operation mission. The toxin annihilates the regular units, the Mag helps with the over guard. And for grins and giggles, I've been running Arcane Ice on my Inaros. I am able to face tank SP JL Beams for like 10 seconds before it became an issue. JL beams are heat based so its pretty much negates them. Sure its a lame arcane but the SP operation is a joke I don't need to min/max to run it.

To be honest, my time to kill has felt somewhat sluggish against both corpus and grineer since the rework. I don't really know WHY, since there's nothing inherently wrong with any of the changes

While there are definitely some damage types that got a huge glow up with Jade Shadows, there are two that got knocked down more than the other best types as a result, those being radiation and toxin. Radiation's only bonuses are now covered by electricity and cold which have better statuses, and toxin is now only effective against the least populace enemy type in the game (Narmer). They're still fine to use but viral and heat are arguably in a better spot than before now which is unfortunate since the whole rework was supposed to even the playing field a bit

We need a mod/weapon now that prevents elemental combos but increases status damage and/or extra stacks per proc. So we can get all the basics going just for fun if nothing else.

Personally I love the reworks with this update

Gas had a mild visual update. Blast definitely feels better.

Try blast on Mutualist Cernos

rip gas, I feel like it's been left behind.

Blast is back boys. Blast is back, and it's popping off! (Pun VERY MUCH intended)

Everything is so good now, wtf

I think they simplified the health types a bit too much for my tastes. It was an absolute mess before and it definitely needed to be cleaned up, but I feel like they went a bit too far in the other direction, particularly with Armor. I liked having a difference between different armor types, now Radiation doesn't have that "boss killer" identity that it used to. I would also prefer to have Corpus Health, Grineer Health, Infested Health, and Other Faction Health be different instead of all being "Health", but that's just me. I like complexity, I like having to think about what I'm doing and adjusting my loadout accordingly.

Blast is beyond broken right now. How this got past internal testing is hilarious. Mod an Arca Triton for blast and install Melee Influence arcane. Heavy slam. Things everywhere die. Literally. I was an hour into SP Kuva survival last night and enemies in the next room were falling over dead. Acolytes were deleted from the game they died so fast. I absolutely love it but DE generally don't like things like this. Who remembers OG Bramma, Marked for Death, Catchmoon. I remember. And this new blast status is waaaaay more powerful than any of that.

I love the update so far, but the jade beams from eximus units are stupidly broken rn, especially when they inadvertently hit a defense target

...I feel like Mirage's disco ball is killing a bit faster than usual As in they all dead

i hope they do something about the bane mods cause normal players dont like it and players that have played for rly long also dont like them XD its cool that we get to change our builds in the navigator and makes it less tedious but i think they should change it still

Finally an internet man who keeps his head and doesn't show us max level and builds with insane investment and shards up the wazzoo. Thank you Mr. Internet man

I'd like the Holy vor to give birth to dual MIGHTY SEERS. Blast amprex was the first thing I did. It's beautiful

I'm kinda torn. This is going to make anti-faction builds a whole lot easier but at the same time I liked it where it was. Sure, Magnetic and Blast were almost useless previously but I did enjoy building a loadout that would cover all the weaknesses a faction would have.

Blast is a bit too strong, it just makes gas totally irrelevant. I would prefer a gas buff to a blast nerf, but i wouldn't be surprised either way. Cold changes are great, I enjoyed Frost before, now he just works that much better. I greatly appreciate the stealth nerf to slash, slash was honestly a boring way to play, i would rather just kill the enemies than wait for them to die most of the time.

You mentioned the big numbers: Your options are probably wrong after the patch. Go check to make sure your settings are for Enhanced damage numbers, not Cloud or anything else. Likewise, the new "hold to fire semi-auto weapons" mechanic isn't on by default. Also please actually read the status descriptions, you could have answered all your own questions instantly in-game.

So, how you feeling about the revelation that warframes are submissive and breedable?

After so many years of warframe the new status rework is painful. Unlearning everything is hurting my brain and it doesn't like it! 😅

first

I dont know why but slash feels weaker now. All of my hunmun build now deal less damage and especially glaive prime. But other than slash, everything works really really well because of the status changes.

Cold isn't going to be as popular as you're Expecting... You lose 7 Cold Stacks when the Freeze Wears Off. 🥺

What I dislike most about this update is the fact that energy colors no longer influence the color of the status effect. No more can we spread green flames or pink gas clouds. Booooo. Bad change.

Missions now suggest damage type, whining babies cant remember which damage to use against which enemies..
