The recent positive press this game got encouraged me to give it a shot. I love how mindlessly fun it is, but I also have no idea what I'm doing and I think I spent some of my initial platinum on a weapon by mistake. Oh well. Should I be reading any guides to "maximise" my experience at these low levels, or can I just play the game and hope to learn as I go? I don't particularly want to min-max anything, for what it's worth. I just want to play a cool robot with powerful melee attacks. If anyone wants to play together on PS4 my PSN name is CaptSpacebeard.

Luckily for you, 99% of the game does not require minmaxing. The choice is your really as to whether you want to learn as you go, or read a guide. That said, the wiki will tell you just about anything you might want to know. http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/WARFRAME_Wiki

yea I'm also in that new 'I think I'm probably playing bad but this is still fun' player chunk and I'm still loving just running around with my bow and kunai on my Frost. No clue what the ~optimal~ build to shoot for is but being a sneaky Sub-Zero ice ninja is my jam and works just fine.

You might benefit from an understanding of the damage system but you can sum it up quickly : Vs Corpus : Impact + Magnetic. Vs Grinner : Puncture + Corosive. Vs Infected : Slash + Gas. Vs Corrupted(Void) : Impact + Viral No real need to mix-max or in-depth guide up to the quest "The second dream". Its a big lore important quest (some may argue its the defining one) and after that you unlock the focus system that might need some reading if you want to understand the choices the game ask of you. I started to feel the need to get my poo poo in order, plan builds a little and stop using any random weapons when i faced mobs around level 30 (Uranus and upward). I could still get fine in groups, but solo play was turning into a slog seasoned with mission failures.

aleksendr posted:You might benefit from an understanding of the damage system but you can sum it up quickly : While the physical damage types are useful, there is almost never any reason to use the physical damage mods (outside of specific situations like for slash status), let alone really even worry about the physical damage types, because they are 99% of the time far inferior to an elemental mod. Physical damage mods only add +% that specific damage type, while the elemental mods add +% ALL damage on a weapon. So if a weapon is, say , 50/50 impact and slash, a slash or impact mod will only increase damage by half as much as any elemental mod. This also means you cannot add a physical damage type to a weapon that doesn't already have it. Corrosive+blast is an all around good damage setup to have if you want to be lazy and not switch all the time or worry about min/maxing. It has, I believe, the fewest enemies strong against it, while a lot of high hit point enemies like grineer heavy gunners and especially infested ancients/boilers/etc are weak to it. While weaker enemies may not be specifically vulnerable to it, the sheer damage you're doing will be more than enough to kill them. It also works especially great on the sonicor for the blast proc that will send enemies into orbit. Cheeseman fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Nov 23, 2017 |

Edit: most physical type weapons (bullets and swords and such) have all three to some extent, while mlsome elemental weapons have only a single element and no physical damage. You can't add physical damage types that the weapon doesn't already have, but you can add new elements. Zelmel fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Nov 23, 2017 |

kxZyle posted:I got a "do a L30 survival mission without killing anyone" riven yesterday and the guides I found all said to use Ivara. Loki would've been much better. With Ivara I pickpocketed the 15 enemies the map spawned then slowly jumped between containers, scavenging modules. With Loki I could have zoomed across the map much faster, and with Irradiated Disarm I actually could've got some of those enemies killed to spawn new ones and get me more modules. Rhino is also great for those, just armor up and run from spawned life support drop to live support smashing boxes and opening lockers along the way.

You trace outlines with a laser to mine, and you throw spears to fish. The obtuse bit is that Warframe thing where nothing is explained. I find it extremely boring, but some people are into it.

You then get one nightmare mission on that tileset/planet every 8 hours. Nightmare mods rewards are random. (From the wiki drop table, Wildfire drop from easy (T1) nodes, so earth, mercury, venus.) 2- Nightmare alerts are completely random (more are available during prime time and week-ends) but will give you the mod specified in the alert as reward.

I'm not going to pretend i am any veteran and fully understand Warframe since up to a week ago i was not even understanding how elemental damage and status worked. But i did try a mostly toxin loadout against corpus on Jupiter-Europa and sure, you absolutely chew trough all types of crewmen, but i got my rear end handed by the first robotic eximus and big MOA waves where problematic. It all depend on your weapon, frame, playstyle and enemy level. Going toxin heavy might be "best" in early-mid corpus zones but I'm having much better results in Neptune and Pluto by going magnetic. That or Hek + Scatered Justice is just so good it could wreck anything regardless of my damage type.

Also is there either a best breed or a good setup for ensuring my Kubrow is attacking things and not goofing off? I want to screw around with the Hunter set. You can have high status Primary, Secondary or Melee for all physical damage type. The zhuge (A repeating crossbow) is 75 Puncture, 20 slash and 5 impact with 35% status The Boar prime(shotgun) is 27 Puncture, 36 slash and 120 impact with 30% status The Marelock (pistol) is a mix of Impact and slash with 30% status. and so on. While some weapons are superior, no weapon is completely useless and if you bring Riven mods in the mix some real stinkers can outshine a 8 forma Soma Prime. Try out stuff and find something that work with your frame and playstyle. Playing Rhino or some tanky frame ? Go shotgun, you can afford to soak some hits. Playing fast and far with Nova or Zephyr ? Then go with high accuracy semi-auto rifles. Play with Ivara or Equinox and go stealthy with a bow and a silent secondary. Fun fact : all melee weapons are silent, even the built in shotgun blast of the Redeemer.

You'll want a weapon with high slash damage and status to inflict procs reliably. With the hunter mod though any high crit weapon works, no slash actually required. Huras and helminth are the best combat dogs.

Also is there either a best breed or a good setup for ensuring my Kubrow is attacking things and not goofing off? I want to screw around with the Hunter set. The chances for each status effect are based on what percentage of the total damage it is. For example, the Dread bow is 90% slash damage, so if you don't use any elemental mods, its status procs are going to be slash 9 out of 10 times. Meanwhile the Daikyu is 20% slash damage, so although it has higher status chance only 1 in 5 procs will be slash while the others are puncture or impact (which are comparatively pretty useless, but DE says they're getting buffed in damage 3.0). Physical damage types also count 4x as much as elemental ones, so if you have a dread with 90 slash damage and 180 viral damage it'll still proc slash twice as often as it procs viral. Basically: Is your status weapon mostly slash damage? Build for slash+viral, both of which ignore armor. Is your weapon mostly not slash damage? Build corrosive to reduce enemy armor instead, or maybe gas if you're fighting non-armored enemies. RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Nov 23, 2017 |

Addendum: mods that add slash damage to weapons like Sweeping Serration (+120% slash) don't actually contribute to the size of the slash proc, but do influence the weighting of a slash proc happening. This is why you can see people running Sweeping Serration on the Tigris Prime, the absolute damage of the proc doesn't matter so much as getting more procs from your pellets. The lesson is to not bother putting slash boosting mods on your Atterax or anything (and also why the +physical damage mods are bad).
