Uninfluenced honest opinions about the gaming industry and its current state. Currently we focus on Warframe & other formats like: News, Updates & Game Reviews
The uninspired status chances of last year has shifted the Phantasma from a two fire mode weapon to a single fire mode weapon. Sadly, the secondary fire mode has lost most of its punch and at the current time only the primary fire mode is really worth using.
In primary fire mode the weapon projects six frontal beams with a limited range of twenty meters and no damage fall-off. The range can be extended if need be by using Sinister Reach.
While the critical stats on the weapon are very low the status chance is very high and considering the amount of beams the weapon projects the weapon becomes a status monster.
I'd recommend you leverage this by either building Corrosive or Viral using non-upgrade sixty sixty mods so you leave more room for more heat procs. This will cause the weapon the apply tons upon tons of procs and stack a lot of damage over time very quickly on targets. From this point onwards Bane mods can help, especially in combination with electricity. This is because of how damage over time is calculated and in this case we can use Primed Charged Shell for maximum DoT damage.
That said, I do not encourage the use of Faction mods as I see them as a sub-par design decision from multiple points of view and I chose not to propagate their usage in the hopes that the Developer will eventually re-think their approach to faction mods.
Riven disposition is also solid on the Phantasma sitting at three out five and I'd recommend you trying to get Multishot and Damage above everything else. Status chance or the element of your choosing are also not a bad idea. That said, keep in mind that the weapon does not require a Riven to be competitive.
Today I have the absolute pleasure of presenting a new shotgun in Warframe, The Cedo. It's a mix between a Shotgun and a Glaive!
This is the signature weapon of the new Warframe Lavos! In his hands the weapon gains an ammo mutation effect which is negligible.
Primary fire is all about the automatic shotgun feel with a very good accuracy for a shotgun but low on the fire rate. Critical stats are decent but the status chance is abysmal.
Secondary fire will launch a bouncy Glaive that will detonate when it comes in contact with enemies in a six meters radius and apply a heap of status effects. This is not a bug. It's a feature confirmed by the developer.
While the secondary fire has weak critical stats the status chance is sky-high so to weapon is meant to be played as one-two combo.
After much testing I arrived at the conclusion that the best way is still hybrid for the weapon as it will yield the best results in most circumstances. The Cedo does offer flexibility however and you're not forced into hybrid, full status build also working well. I showcase both and you decent which you prefer.
Today we'll explore the effect of Primed Firestorm on the Ogris rocket launcher along with that fan favorite mode Nightwatch Napalm!
While I would not call it the best build for the weapon, it certainly has its appeal.
Considering that the base critical stats on the Kuva Ogris are not fantastic we can go straight for status which means there is plenty of room on the Build for both Nightwatch Napalm and Primed Firestorm. Elemental combo is your choice but if you're going down to Deimos than I'd chose Corrosive as most enemies there are immune to Viral Damage.
