Zephyr is a gun platform. Get the Jet Stream augment for her 3 ability, it provides a massive boost to movement speed and projectile speed. Her 1 is useful until you can build an archwing launcher for plains/vallis, 2 is worthless, 4 is for chessing dargryn pilot rivens.

Dargyn pilot rivens? Get a mesa, cmon.
Zephyr can be useful as a speedrunner almost as fast as a Nova, duration build is godlike and beats pre-nerf Itzal in open world. Hell, 300 meters of 100 m/s flight per button tap!

Okay, sure, but Mesa can only take pilots out of the air, she can't put them there.

You hop into archwing, you fly forward till you find dargyns on patrol, you press E when you see them and aim at their general direction, you press 4 almost immediately after E, you hold your LMC for 1 second, you get riven notification, you land. Archwing back to cetus. Why bother with something else?

Phobophilia posted:

Sometimes that riven has an extra condition like "when sliding" that isn't compatible with Mesa.

Also sometimes the Dargyn pilot gets shot straight out of their seat and that doesn't count.

The sliding one counts as done if you dont release ctrl and mesa still moves in her 4. There are other, more lovely challenges like the bow one. Bring a mag.
Anyway the whole point is that zephyr is still useable albeit there are always a better and more suitable wf to do the job.

But then i would have to watch youtubers who think they are funny but aren't, or even worse, make "ironic jokes" that are just thinly veiled racist stereotypes but applied to Warframe

Although if you do have suggestions that avoid the above issues, i'd like to hear about them.

I also did my first Railjack mission and it went...extremely smoothly? No bugs, no softlocks or crashes, i was able to board a galleon and exit and reboard the railjack with zero hitches. I think i've settled on either wanting to play engineer/side gunner, or do archwing dogfights/galleon boarding. I don't feel confident enough to make piloting decisions.


Nezha is a trap but... yeah there are some wf vod makers who just type info on screen, no bullshit or edgy poo poo. Im honestly too lazy to find them because they are really obscure. Kids like edgy shite.

No idea what the Switch multiplayer scene is like, but on PC I soloed almost the entire starchart because I didn't realize it placed me in Oceania and the roughly five people who play the game in that region don't play the same content. If you're in a non-US region and it seems like no one plays, it might be worth switching to North America.

Adding onto that. Each 'country' server has additional language branches. If you have your language set to whatever but the locale to NA or EU, you will get only your set language part of the locale.
Found that out the hard way, thought the game was ded first planets while playing in my travels.

Don't forget to add a dodge roll in with your bullet jumps. Good for changing direction and gaining speed.

I kind of loving hate Nezha's reduced friction. It makes him really sloppy to control, even under the most normal of circumstances.

I hated it too when leveling. Then I saw a Nezha who was clearing hydron 3 times faster than my-then-main, fully minmaxed Octavia. Thats when I woke up from my dumb '1 3 4 crouch in stealth' playstyle and embraced speed. Took me an hour to get used to Nezha but then theres no way back.

How does mod melting work? Do you have a better chance at rate mods if you only combine 4 gold mods?

Yes.
https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Transmutation there is a good table there

Also a good source of archwinggun mods.
Best way I found to use it is after running lots of index. You get a lot of almost useless golden mods and some good credits to burn


ps
re:jordas golem
Basic (common mods) odonata with basic imperator does jordas in 8 minutes solo. I did over 25 runs before giving up and buying rare mods off market to finish mission in less than 3 minutes, so if anyone is up for poopsocking Jordas I'd suggest running index instead and doing transmutation for archgun mods. Saves a lot of time and gives good mods that are going to be useful later.

If you got an official source or actual significant dataset for that besides various hearsay anecdotes i'd love to see it, because after over a year of hearing this rumor none of my 75%ers were even close to my breaks.

My personal theory is that it's probably a flat 1% chance and a tremendous mountain of perception bias, but i guess people trying varying raindances is harmless enough.

~250 logins, didn't actually play since the first railjack patch except for baro. Every baro 'login' since then is a 75% discount.

Spoilermode still feels like an afterthought at the point I'm at. Aside from popping into it occassionally for Sentients I haven't developed any reflexes for using it to address whatever it is it's supposed to address... If that makes sense.

Energy dash is the most used thing in OP mode. 5-void dash-5. Its on reflex level when you are out of energy for most of mid to endgame players

To put this in perspective, I could make 100+ plat a day by simply earning 25k Conclave rep, and I refuse to do it. That is how bad Conclave is.

Gauss is the GOTTA GO FAST solution for sloppy bad-aim idiots who can't play speed volt properly.

re:umbral
I still have umbral forma(s?) bc back in the day it seemed better to be versatile and just have all umbral mods at 14 cap and use them whenever it fits the loadout

versatility above all! that leads to owning several copies of all mods at several stages of cap, but is really useful to build dumb fun fits
