The main thing that makes Wisp such a good support frame is her sheer convenience and low maintenance. Support is a very unpopular and underplayed role in Warframe and for a good reason. All the good top end frames are entirely self sufficient, requiring no external aid to easily dominate. Wisp breaks the mold by providing generally useful buffs that apply to you AND your teammates while requiring no work from the player on top of having a solid CC/damage ability and a free subsume slot. A 400% power strength Wisp with Pillage makes for an incredibly nasty weapons platform frame while also helping out teammates with her Motes. She can support her teammates without needing to work for it all while being capable of doing the mission by herself if need be.

Octavia for sure! Not only is her toolkit good at basically everything, her passive helps with one of the worst early game problems, energy economy. Not being forced to rely entirely on energy drop RNG to be able to maintain your abilities is liberating before Zenurik and other energy generators kick in.

The second best support frame in the game, only beat by Wisp due to the sheer convenience of her Motes. While her abilities require her to do far more than just "press 1 and enjoy buffs" to get their payoff, the reward is well worth it! This frame takes Gara's best abilities and makes them even better! Team-wide 90% DR with none of the annoying maintenance associated with Splinter Storm. Crystallize is Mass Vitrify but in a cone and much much faster, while giving everyone capable of aiming red crits with any weapon. More of a status person than a crit one? Prismatic Gem has you covered, all enemies now come pre-primed while your weapons get bonus status chance and duration! And her Fractured Blast provides both health orbs to fuel her passive and energy orbs to keep her energy economy going. With Equilibrium on you can forgo efficiency completely and not care one bit. If this frame wasn't locked behind such an annoying farm I imagine she would be way more popular, it's the one bad thing about her.

I know I said last week that the upcoming frames are all powerhouses...here we have an exception. She's not bad and you can make her work, even if some of her abilities feel really clunky to use, but she gets completely overshadowed by all the frames that follow her. I might be a bit biased against her as she is a melee frame and I really don't like melee much in Warframe, but I don't think I'm being that unfair when in 2 weeks we will discuss arguably the most powerful frame in the game right now.

I loved Wotakoi. The 4 main characters are 26-28 and employed. It's in the especially rare category of adult romcoms. It's a shame the anime never got a second season, but the manga is finished so if you give it a watch and want to find out what happened after, give it a read!

[–] Keegen 4 points 1 month ago

I love these three panels. So cute!

[–] Keegen 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As we approach the more recent frames, most of these are going to be absolute monsters. Styanax is no exception. This guy's got it all and then some! Near unlimited energy for you and your team? Check! Full armor strip on demand with no prerequisites? Check! A huge AoE nuke that deals Slash procs on every hit and provides you and your entire team 30k Overguard? Check! This frame is insanely powerful and I'm constantly surprised to never see anyone play him despite DE handing him out multiple times for free with a potato included.

[–] Keegen 2 points 1 month ago

There are a bunch of volume sliders in the settings, lowering Transmissions down to 0% should silence them

[–] Keegen 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Glad to see that, for how squishy this frame is she definitely deserves to have the damage and AoE to wipe the whole map with ease. I might try her out instead of Saryn the next time I need to erase a Grineer galleon worth of troops from existence!

[–] Keegen 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I remember this frame being insane on release to the point her rapid damage ticks crashed the game for some people. Then she got "fixed" which also nerfed her to the point of irrelevancy. I never seen much of her since then. I never played her much myself, especially post her changes, did this frame ever get her teeth back or is she still just a worse Volt?

[–] Keegen 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Ruri really is getting all the "crappy" dragon traits and none of the cool ones! Breathing fire, crackling with lightning and spewing hallucinogenic venom are not exactly traits very useful in modern society. Getting flight or shapeshifting instead would be awesome! I like how she stared to wrap her horns up for safety after they covered them up in the nurse's office.

[–] Keegen 11 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Yeah, I was very dissapointed by that as well. As far as I'm aware, the only time it matters is when

Act 3 spoilerThe Emperor offers you the Astral tadpole, if you used any worms you have to pass a check that grows harder the more worms you consumed to resist using it, if you abstained you can just say no.
Big shame that's all that remains of this system.
