Warframe - The New War Quest + Cross-Save & Cross-Play (TennoCon 2021)

Live reaction to the latest Warframe announcements from TennoCon2021

The Major announcements include Cross Save, Cross Play, Warframe Mobile on Phones and the the New War quest.

Tenet Diplos Build 2021 (Guide) - The Party Never Stops (Warframe Gameplay)

With the Sisters of Parvos update we got some new weapons and some variations on existing ones. Of these new weapons a few stand out from the pack, this is the case with the Tenet Diplos.

The Tenet Diplos features very high Critical stats with thirty six percent base chance and two point two times critical multiplier. This comes at the cost of status chance which is only fourteen percent. Even with this low status chance a slash build through the use or Carnis Stinger is still possible and while it is functional it's certainly not spectacular.

I'd recommend we build the weapon to its strengths. Raw damage with high critical stats making use of all the new Galvanized mods. Shot, Crosshairs and Diffusion. While Shot and Diffusion may allow stacks to regress when the timer runs out, Galvanized Crosshairs gets a full reset which is a bit of a bummer.

One thing that I did forget to mention is if you have access to the recently buffed Creeping Bullseye than it's a great idea to use it on the standard build instead of the normal version of Pistol Gambit but I would not use it instead of the Primed.

For an Arcane, Deadhead is great since you will relay on direct damage and not on procs. The second option is Dexterity as long as you plan on using your melee as-well and the Holster Speed will synergize with the reload gimmick of the Diplos. That said, the most powerful option is obviously Deadhead.

The New War Is Coming! (Warframe)

We finally got word of the New War Release date for Warframe. TennoCon 2021 just a whole lot more intriguing.

Tenet Flux Rifle Build 2021 (Guide) - The New Slash King (Warframe Gameplay)

When I first heard that the Tenet version of the Flux Rifle was not going to be a beam weapon, I was pretty bummed. Thankfully, it turned out to be a full blown monster!

The Tenet Flux Rifle is a Hitscan weapon with an automatic trigger, a big one hundred and twenty magazine, great fire rate and fast reload. Basically, all the makings of a powerful assault rifle. What it has extra over the regular version is the increased critical chance to twenty percent which allows us to leverage everybody's favorite MuMu, Hunter Munitions. This way the weapon can get slashes from the Status Chance as well as from critical strikes. Throw in the Flux Overdrive mode which currently offers four hundred percent status chance and things get pretty crazy pretty quick. This is obviously a bug and I'd expect the Fun Police to nerf it quickly. But until then, enjoy!

Considering the multitude of powerful primary mods we have at our disposal it's crucial to go with the right progenitor. I recommend Saryn or any other Toxin progenitor. This way you can make viral with a single status mod. It's also recommended to not max out this mod so Slash gets a higher proc priority. While you may lose some status chance and a bit of damage, the shift in proc priority more than makes up for it.

Riven mods are a no go for the most part. Riven disposition is very low and there are plenty of mods to use on the weapon. Unless we get a higher disposition I'd forget about riven mods.

Galvanized mods are hit and miss on the weapon. While Galvanized Scope is simply put, bad on the weapon, Galvanized Chamber is a must have. Galvanized Aptitude would be great as-well but there's simply not enough room on the build for it.

Tenet Envoy Build 2021 (Guide) - The Briefcase Rocket Launcher (Warframe Gameplay)

Today I have the pleasure of presenting one of the most anticipated weapons of the Sisters of Parvos Content Update, The Tenet Envoy!

This Rocket Launcher features a magazine of eight with a slow reload of four seconds and a laser guided lock on feature. This can be super fun to use in open areas such as Cambion Drift or the Plains of Eidolon but not so much in normal missions where the corridors get tight. In such places aiming for the feet without entering aim mode is the best solution.

High Critical stats make the Tenet Envoy an easy candidate for hunter munitions and with some help from Galvanized Chamber it can turn into a very powerful primary weapon.

There are a lot of other great options as-well. Considering the super high range of the explosion, Primed Firestorm is a no brainer. Primed Cryo Rounds will work a treat as well if you chose the correct progenitor. And since we are on the subject, I'd recommend you get a toxin progenitor Warframe such as Saryn since the weapon deals Cold damage. The cold will combine with the Toxin damage and form Default Viral which will make room on the build for other powerful mods such as Hammer Shot.

Being a rocket launcher that does not have many instances of a possible status application on the target it's crucial that our viral and slash are as reliable as can be.

Corrosive setups can also pack a wallop but sadly not as much as the old Slash Viral approach.

Another mod worth mentioning is Galvanized Aptitude which would be ideal on the build but at the current time it's still not functioning correctly. I'd wait until it gets patched.

Galvanized Scope, Argon Scope or Primary Deadhead have their trigger on headshots meaning they are not ideal for the Tenet Envoy. Neither is the Impact to Slash mod since only the projectile making contact with the target can generate an impact proc. The main source of the damage being the big boom which will not generate impact procs.

Tenet Arca Plasmor Build 2021 (Guide) - The Inevitable Return (Warframe Gameplay)

The wait is over. The New Plasmor has arrived! Was it worth the wait?

That's exactly what we'll find out today!

I'm a big fan of the regular version. It is in fact my most played primary. But it has seen better days. The Tenet version comes with some significant buffs. The most important being the raw damage output which is far superior to the regular version. Other than that we have an increase in critical multiplier but a lowering of the reload speed and fire rate which I find puzzling.

The weapon performs very similarly to the normal one when it comes to heavily armored targets that can mitigate a lot of that extra damage that the Tenent Arca Plasmor posses but shows its fangs when dealing with infested or corpus. Targets that in general have less mitigation, allowing for that brute force to go through. All and all considering, it's not a huge change from the regular version and still struggles with armored units.

If we introduce the New Galvanized mods. Namely Galvanized Acceleration, Galvanized Hell and the currently not functional Galvanized Aptitude plus Primed Point Blank and Ravage than the weapons starts to come alive. Primary Deadhead arcane also increases the power of the weapon by a big margin but given the weapons mechanics and the Arcanes trigger it will be difficult to keep up. The on kill trigger being the primary reason why these new mods and Arcanes are not that great and categorically not reliable enough to even consider High Level Steel Path runs where these "improvements" can result in weaker performance than their normal counterparts.

Sisters of Parvos & Yareli - The Good, The Bad & The Meh (Warframe)

Today I'll be going over my initial thoughts of the Sisters of Parvos update for Warframe and all its features. New Weapons, Ranged Buff, Melee Nerf, The Sisters and the New Warframe Yareli.
