I feel like I am getting WEAKER the further I go; how do I actually get stronger?
I feel like I am getting WEAKER the further I go; how do I actually get stronger?
I'm half-way through Sedna right now. I have just 1 Warframe (though I did start building Limbo last night when I remembered I did that quest) and it, a long with my best weapons, are maxed out and either at mod capacity or damn near (still need endo for a few). MR5.
I have a railjack, I unlocked the Operator, and I have so many resources and credits. But everything is starting to take forever to kill and hurts me so much. When I did the whole Drifter quest thing, I choose everything I already used but it was so much stronger. The Warframe had way more shield and health even though I have Redirection and Vitality maxed out on it. The Boltor had a super high ROF compared to what mine has and did way more damage.
How the hell do I get that kind of power on my normal stuff? I know about Forma but I haven't even seen some of the mods for the weapons I have I've seen suggested for maximum damage, so I'm just hanging onto those until it makes sense to use them. Is that really the only way to get stronger?
You're viewing a single thread.
The "I have one warframe" is a problem too. Limbo isn't great either, unless you build it one specific way (and it's buggy iirc). Best to target a specific powerful warframe. Rhino is a great one that's incredibly easy to get. It's extremely tanky and has some crowd control. Saryn is basically a kill aura when you build it right. There are some that favor specific playstyles. The game favors meele weapons and AoE. I'd tell you what I have but I sadly have the game uninstalled right now. Overall, it shouldn't be a problem for you to build an insanely overpowered frame + weapons combo and wreck the game.

I tried him out at least on one mission and it took a minute to even understand what he does lol. Being able to become invulnerable whenever I want seemed like it might work for spy missions but since the enemy is still aware of you I'm doubting it would make you able to cross beams and stuff without trying to go around them. Correct me if that's not true because those data theft missions can get annoying.
Limbo can't cross the beams without being detected. However Ivara can if you get her special augment for her invisibility power. Unfortunately you get Ivara's pieces from doing Spy missions without the data-destruction timer being activated for any of the three vaults.
Limbo works for going through Lua spy vaults and I think corpus green lasers. There are still much better choices though. I typically just use Wisp because I'm invisible as long as I'm airborne and I can teleport to the 2 to bypass lasers.
Limbo has a bit of a learning curve and is also one of those frames where it's very hard to be good Limbo.
Fair enough, I didn't know that. For me I have one of my warframe slots reserved for Ivara just in case I ever have to do another Spy.
Limbo is a frame from the old times. He used to be pretty neat, but as the game evolved, his gimmick became less and less valuable and useful.
Limbo sounds great on paper, but ultimately is incredibly "meh'. The invulnerability is a trap - time to kill in warframe is incredibly quick. Either you survive, or you don't (and get basically oneshot). Running missions where you would usually die but using a gimmick not to, only results in you going through sub par gameplay, and ultimately leads to less fun with the game.
Have you done void relics? Sounds like you might've skipped prime weapons / frames altogether, which would help you a lot, and sometimes is easier and cheaper to get than the "regular" version. I do remember getting ivara prime before the actual ivara, since as you and other people mentioned spy missions suuuuuck.
What you need is a really good frame, a good meele weapon, an ability to move through the game quickly (control + space, aiming where you want to go, is disorienting at first). Try for the ones I mentioned previously, especially Rhino. Frost is a good early game frame, but I think you already are past the point where the bubble is sustainable.
Gauss is incredibly fun for speedrunning a mission - its main skill is "run fast" lol.
Inaros is a "massive health pool" type of frame for armor and survivability
Khora is my favourite, with huge crowd control and absurd damage when built right.
Mesa is a very high DPS glass cannon with some survivability built in. She literally has full auto revolvers that autotarget enemies that can be made to deal an absurd amount of damage.
Trinity is great for supporting other players and for your own survivability. You won't kill as much as a mesa would, but you will keep everything alive to do the damage.
Titania is great for speedrunning again, she can turn into a miniature archwing that scales with her ability strength, leading her to literally warp through closed doors sometimes.
Wisp is an immortal frame -- she can boost speed, vitality and health regen (hence immortality) and she can stun everything around by simply standing with a buff up. She's great for defense (some objectives can take her buffs and heal too) and her ultimate can carry you quite nicely till you get too far in enemy levels, at which point it kinda drops off in damage.
Were I you, I'd go for wisp if you have the boss unlocked already. Just go with randoms and quite often than not, there'll be someone who is able to deal incredible damage to it. For a meele weapon - I had a reaper prime with lots of mods that made it deadly. It sweeps in large arcs, does plenty of damage, etc. No idea if it is possible to get it now or how viable it is.
Dual ichor is a weapon you can get easily by joining a developed clan - they're cheap and can be built into a literal blender. They'll serve you well till you get something better
I love me some Oberon/prime.
I found him pretty great early to midgame. And I still find him good late game even if he isn't as good as some others.
But I tend to like multi-purpose over specialized .
