What's so genius about this frame concept they solved the sniper problem in warframe. Snipers in other game always felt rewarding because of long range killing power. The problem with snipers in warframe is single target and normally not many opportunities for long range. Somebody in DE had a good idea if Cyte-09 can ignore walls he can always play at range, if his headshots have aoe he can reasonably deal with large groups.
been running archon continuity with toxin for similar reasons, an extra toxin and corrrosive proc on my weapons is really nice, espeically with a high firerate so the corrosive stacks fast
Not only that but if an enemy is a long range away we can just blitz to them and hit them with a melee if we wanted to. Even with no movement abilities or operator mode you can easily cover 100m in like 4 seconds if you know what you're doing.
@@amphal4467 No the punch through works on all weapons, its just most useful on the Neutralizer. If you are referring to the bouncing shots from headshots, that is unique to Neutralizer, but the rest is Quincy's
@@kymberlite at the timestamp Brozime stated that Serration was an alternative to Spectral Serration for those who don't have the new mod, I'm saying Semi Rifle Cannonade is a better alternative
You *lose* firerate equipping Cannonade if you're on a Reinforced Bond companion. Neutralizer goes to 1.6 Fire Rate, Critical Delay brings it down to 1.4, Cannonade truncates it to 1.0 entirely. Definitely an option if you're *not* running Reinforced Bond though.
you don't need to walk on the ammo to get the element lol you get it when you press 2. Also less button to press and it auto reload for you so it means infinite ammos
lavos still wins out with his 200% and the right set up plus cyte -09 cannot trigger archon mods with his resupply unlike lavos. however cyte - 09 is still a great frame and alot of fun.
I believe the fact that people call Cyte 09 quincy just show cases how human names and faces are more marketable and may be another reason to have more protoframs in the future.
Dude literally. My sibling started playing a couple months ago and desperately wants one of the skins for a frame she doesn’t even have. This stuff works really well on people. I don’t get it at all but clearly it does work.
@@84m30 because before the operator was introduced everyone thought your character was a super human in a suit of armor to help control their power. I like the skins personally but I also wish we could put the faces on other skins.
Worth noting with the evade duration increase per headshot kill. Dual tox incarnon automatically targets heads on the ricochet hits, making it mindless to keep the ability up forever especially when you subsume it on another frame
@1438wei So I don't have Cyte-09 yet and can't test it, but Quincy also has a max duration. It's not the maximum time he can be invisible, it's just the cap on how much you can have banked up.
@@callanmckeogh8058 Ah, I see. Guess I didn't understand that part correctly. So everyone can be invisible forever as long as they heatshot kill someone then? Sounds really useful.
Another interaction with Neutraliser is how it functions with Archon Vitality, as any forced heat procs from Resupply will be doubled if applied through Neutraliser, also bolstered by Elementalist, allowing you to see ticks for almost 2 mill on someenemies
Cyte's a lot like how Nidus used to be. A good Warframe who does good things but his gameplay loop is just a little too specific and slow and methodical to really be "OP". I wind up disagreeing with people saying he's broken and OP but unlike most other times I completely get where they're coming from, if he's allowed to hunker down in a corner and pop heads across the map for a morbillion damage through a wall then yeah he absolutely feels *and* looks like the most fucked up Warframe in the game.
the difference is that he relies on weapons, rather than abilities for damage. he can use things that have insane headshot synergy, like the dual toxocyst incarnon to accelerate his gameplay and massacre enemies before the squad even sees them, saryn style
@@tpemp I did that for this week's Netracells and while it felt good it still wasn't exactly "easy". You get run down by Eximus and just have to suck it up since you have 0 defense (though Cyte's invis may be bugged to shit). You gotta find The Spot for Cyte to truly excel over other Warframes and thats just a bit too specific.
@ not every frame is going to be good at everything, and netracells are literally the worst content you could have chosen for him. the murmur have limited weak points, you have to wait for them to get into that tiny circle, and you’re stuck in close proximity to your squad. most of the op/meta frames hate this activity too, because of these stipulations
Nah, his sniper gets tons of bonuses on headshots/weak points, eidolon limbs don't count and he doesn't have volt speed so naw he isn't the eidolon frame. And for PT it's still chroma, ya want more credits. Even for speed running he wouldn't be good cause again, volt speed.
He feels so good and most importantly FUN. You get to snipe in an actual effective way, not worry about damage types on your weapons, and are rewarded for playing well
Nothing gamebreakingg, but definitly a really fun warframe which is awesome. Gotta love "guys that just look at a guy and delete them" club with Cyte and Kullervo.
If you feel that you have an open slot on the sniper, I would suggest sharpshooter, it give 15 energy per headshot kill. If you use the setup properly, you should be getting 60 energy every time you shoot your gun.
@@TrueTwilightGrim oh for sure I'm sure there is a case for sharpshooter its probably the first time that mod has been useful and that's cool. I personally find the build for his Neutralizer to be a little tighter then his warframe build but I can totally see a version of the build where sharpshooter is all ur energy recovery and that's pretty cool.
I appreciate this! I am one of those people who likes to refresh abilities on a basis of convenience rather than the timers, and that sometimes makes me energy starved where others might not. This is a mod I would not have remembered even existed lmao
I’ll say that the ammo packs also show up on the minimap like Amphors from Alchemy. So… they’re pretty tricky to find in that mode. But then again what isn’t with all the pickups on the ground.
haven't ever really been a fan of weapon platforms, but quincy is really well designed and honestly this is how all weapons platforms should play, he's extremely fun
I gotta say, I was wrong in my initial impressions. I really enjoy the frame. I did subsume the Sniper off initially and still really enjoyed a fast pace with the rest of his kit. Especially the ammo swap stuff. But using the Sniper has been really interesting as a sort of point and click slug shotgun. Thats actually been surprisingly effective and fun. Especially combined with the frost grenade. And I am happy to say I was off base totally with my concerns in group play. His first ability scanner gives me a whole different group of enemies to kill that others wont. I did not believe they were going to give that kind of range on it. I was also concerned with his invisbility extentions being precision kill based due to concerns about competing with other frames for those kills, but his scanner makes that a minimal issue. My concerns about his survivability were ill founded. And I am glad to be wrong.
Cyte 09 made snipers really fun, and the cooldown mechanic that only punishes you if not playing good is genious. Wished they did something like that with koumeis cooldown but oh well
I do a lot of testing and build guided for my friends and discord server. My conclusion was that he's a fun, very engaging frame with solid damage but you need to like his gameplay to truly get the most out of him. I then gave him a ranking of B+ or A- depending on how much you like staring at walls.
A small note about Primary Acuity on Neutralizer, I was hitting some extremely silly numbers with it as it seems like it's multiplicative. I went from hitting 5-7m without it by scaling multishot to hitting 70-80m a shot while using it.
I heavily advice running Archon Continuity on him. If you somehow want to deal corrosive status with the Neutralizer, just go for toxin. You'll get extra toxin procs and these can actually be quite damaging.
I think Quincy’s 2 is amazing. It solves the annoying issue of having to switch damage types for every mission. Just pop it mid mission and problem solved.
I was a bit iffy with the idea of dumping so much in Range, but this showcase has proven just how much that added range is capable of. The sheer amount of wall hacks and punch through alone just convinced me to use my spare plat to get Quincy. Thanks, Brozime!
Main problem with his ammo power is you won't proc any status if you one shot the enemy, so you can't get bonus aoe from gas or blast if you are hitting the head and one shotting them. Instead of being a forced proc, its a guaranteed proc, which is a distinction.
Oh no my problem is *checks notes* I killed the enemy with too much damage if you're one shotting groups of enemies with the sniper already do you REALLY need that little bit of aoe from gas? Not really
But you need to pick up the points, and cyte gets kills from the other side of the map. Unless you're letting AI teammates pick up and score which seems really unoptimized because they won't bank bonus
These ammo boxes also drop from 1999 it affects the weapon you have at the time and seems to actually not get taken if your weapon is incompatible like incarnon mode.
3x and 1.2x isn't 4.2x. You don't just add multipliers together, you instead have to view them as increases. 200% increase (3x) and a 20% increase (1.2x) adds up to a 220% increase (3.2x).
I liked the detailed ability rundown before the build! You should just start doing that all the time. With the build refreshes for the older frames you could speed through it quicker. But even someone like myself who has thousands of hours, I still enjoy hearing about the abilities because I find I learn something new every time.
The Archon mods are amazzing on him. Also, mod the Neutralizer for Electric and put 3-4 Violet shards on him that increase damage from Elec procs and your shots will regularly break into the tens of millions
Worth noting this build does not require an Umbral Forma to slot in Umbral Intensify. One Madurai (Y) and one Naramon (Dash) will make the build fit fine.
Cyte-09 might be one of the best escort frames for veterans teaching new players: You can give the newbie enemy ESP & infinite ammo without making the game otherwise easier? Good for training gunplay and movement abilities. _(Maybe also give him dispensary for this context.)_
I tried condemn on him subsumed his 4 and used a rubico, helps him play at a faster pace, in my opinion also pretty good for when with other players with chaos they cause the enemies to be in or when you get stuck without longer evade and the additional shields are nice for survivability. For endless mission types evade should be no problem but on quick missions could be more of a challenge so yeah I enjoy him. Will definitely be looking forward to how evade will work on other frames, it's a shame banshee doesn't get the benefits directly yet
For more ease of use guys I would say dropping molt aug for arcane ice storm is great as your alt on the sniper grants guaranteed freeze for it giving you more duration for your 3.
If you actually wanna do way more damage than the video , I have 300 strength and 145 range on Quincy with a rank 2 Arcane Crepuscular. I have Breach Surge subsumed over his 2. Mod the Neutralizer for Blast and put Galvanized Aptitude and Primary Acuity together and just build for crit and spectral serration. Average shot damage is 25 million and with priming I have managed to hit 180 million. Highest Breach Surge damage is -2.1 billion which is damage cap.
Been messing around with acuity and cannonade on the neutralizer rifle since I don't run the bond mod that gives you 60% firerate, I get some pretty whacky red crits, but I'm honestly not sure of it's effectiveness compared to Brozime running the normal galvanized stuff, granted I also don't have spectral serration so I also don't know there.
Did Banshee get better with this update? I'm not talking about a rework. Cyte-09's subsume is his invis, you have the crit arcane, and all the weakpoint mods
Only thing this frame needs is a Teleport mod for his invisibility. When grouping with other frames if you set up for Sniping you get left WAY behind. Im sure somebody will comment " Skill issue bruh." Yes he is a mid range combat sniper. No I dont have Dual Toxi yet. But a 3 Shot Teleport to target would be amazing for Zipping him through tile sets.
Just go operator with magus cadence. I am faster than just about everyone I group with regardless of who is playing what. It takes a little practice to know when to sling, how to sling and when to just sprint. The Naramon way-bounds help too. Don't see anyone else doing this and operator arcanes are kind of bad in general, so this seems like an obvious choice.
if you want to brain off mode with him pick arca plasmor or any good gun that's not an incarnon (so it can get auto-reloaded) that can hit weakpoints and cast your 2 when needed, it works pretty well, better than his sniper in most cases which is kind of a bummer that you can just be more efficient if you don't use his exalted weapon
The limit of how much damage the big thick scaldra take is either not working on xbox, or doesnt apply if you hit their backpack, because ive been 2 and 3 tapping them in seconds
Its a decent lmg for anyone EXCEPT Cyte, due to his ammo ability being overriden by the LMG unique reload feature. On anyone else its great as a heat proc stacking weapon.
I love Cyte 09's kit, and he's very cohesive and is so much fun. My only criticism that there are certain game modes whrre his gameplay style is kinda suboptimal
I am in love with this Frame. He is so fresh for me, and he is so much fun. Absolute blast to play, he feels great, his kit is incredibly cohesive, and you just feel awesome while playing
I think the Dedicants are the single worst enemy introduced to the game in years, I absolutely despise them. I'm begrudgingly tolerant of DA on Archons and other boss enemies, but putting DA on a rank and file enemy is just totally ass. Even using Madurai on the best weapons on the game with the best damage buffs in the game with the Dedicant fully armour stripped and hitting its weak spot for full red crits, it takes longer to kill one of those than an Archon (total time to kill while it's vulnerable, not the whole mission obviously), and there's at least five each mission. I really really REALLY hope DE dial back the DA on it, because they're not remotely engaging to fight nor do they drop anything that makes them worth wasting time on (afaik). A serious design blunder on DE's part for an otherwise 10/10 faction that feel great to engage with.
The issue isn't that it disrupts the gameplay loop, the issue is that it disrupts the gameplay loop by... making you stop what you're doing and hold left click for a while. That's it. That's the full extent of that engagement. God help if you're on Steel Path with something other than Miter or Torid.
I had really good luck on the Systems and Neuroptics and then took 2 days worth of standing to farm the Chassis (LR3) so here's hoping you just have the 1 roadblock!
Might I suggest a 3rd alternative to spectral serration? The neutraliser is semi trigger so it seems Semi-rifle cannonade would work too? Unless there's a specific reason it wouldn't.
Throw jades subsume on his 4th with the same set up and its pretty good for a weapons platform, ez headshots and the armor strip and heat procs are just a bonus
The supply cache might just be on a timer. I've had it activate several hundred meters away when I was killing enemies with just regular weapons, without Cyte-09's wallhack.
Every gun is a Zenith! Or the Farsight from Perfect Dark. Does he do a lot of damage shooting into a mag bubble? Also are we getting Nyx and Trinity builds?
ik this is a quincy video... but after reading the description of it, all i can think is, "my ash build is gonna be unstoppable with max arcane crepuscular"
Might just be a skill issue but he gets considerably better when using M&K compared to controller due to the inherently higher accuracy. I've been using controller for like 14 years now and Im still not accurate enough to consistently hit headshots with Quincy.
When they say +dmg or whatever against weak point, do they count Banshee's Sonar/Helios' precept as well as heads/robotic cores etc. as the same kinda thing as Cyte's? Also, nice that he affects Acid Shells!
random opinion, but Archon shards are only ever useful for when you are going for level cap and they are not needed to clear basic star chart. you can easily clear the basic start chart, and heck even reach 20 minutes on a survival with no archon shards.
I certainly hope so considering we were running steel path for years before archon shards even existed. If they were mandatory I don't know how we would have done it.
Switched out Energy Nexus with Primed Redirection & Arcane Crepuscular with Energize to make him a bit more tanky. Replaced his 3 with Condemn, cus I am bad at aiming and when enemies dont move its way easier to headshot.
No. It doesn’t work on a lot of stuff. Things need to have a magazine to be reloaded. Incarnons, things like the nataruk, recharging weapons like kit guns that recharge, I think recharging beams like the cycron. None of that works. It needs to be a gun you reload.
I find all the extra range on cyte to be overkill. Like you said yourself enemies don't even spawn that far out. Instead I find it more comfortable to run higher duration and power, to make it easier to keep Evade up at all times, particularly as your running arcane crespular, and spectral serration. While this isn't super hard alone, when a efficient group is annihilating enemies as they spawn in AoE in many situations, keeping it up can become much more difficult, You can also slot in some extra power, check out my dead eye reverb build on overframe to see the full setup. Evade has a cool down, so having it drop off can cause some damage falloff. I find range at 169% to be the sweet spot, giving you a round 100 meters of scan distance and 17 meters of punch through to be plenty to get people through walls, and almost never encounter something I can see but can't shoot. You don't want to skimp on power because it scales your damage in several ways. Higher weakpoint damage, higher sniper damage, higher neut combo damage multiplier. Final stats on build before conditionals is 254% duration 45% efficiency 169% range 208% strength
I find having massive range helps to make Cyte more mobile because he doesn't have to place as many scanners down as he proceeds through a map. It makes him feel overall nicer to play imho.
This is a pretty lore-accurate build (i.e. first Hex Quest) but even while invisible you'll still get wiped out by AoE damage, especially when playing in public squads. I've been trying to find a balance between range and general survivability if anyone has any tips?
I kept seeing other builds and not understanding why people don’t go for more range and some duration. I feel so vindicated with Brozime posting this build

3x and 1.2x isn't 4.2x. You don't just add multipliers together, you instead have to view them as increases. 200% increase (3x) and a 20% increase (1.2x) adds up to a 220% increase (3.2x).
Man I remember grinding in the old days to push my Loki's invisibility to just barely 30s.... how the times have changed.
I liked the detailed ability rundown before the build! You should just start doing that all the time. With the build refreshes for the older frames you could speed through it quicker. But even someone like myself who has thousands of hours, I still enjoy hearing about the abilities because I find I learn something new every time.
The Archon mods are amazzing on him. Also, mod the Neutralizer for Electric and put 3-4 Violet shards on him that increase damage from Elec procs and your shots will regularly break into the tens of millions
People sleep on the electric shards
Worth noting this build does not require an Umbral Forma to slot in Umbral Intensify. One Madurai (Y) and one Naramon (Dash) will make the build fit fine.
I could see this dude being good in open worlds and maybe even impacting the eidolon hunting meta.
So Quincy wasn't just cocky but actually the one?
24:55 On the contrary, I believe being invisible and sniping from safety could be quite relaxing compared to the zoom zoom we're used to.
The super sweaty level cap type content creators dub him "broken" because he makes what they do easy with his base kit and sensible modding.
Cyte-09 might be one of the best escort frames for veterans teaching new players:
You can give the newbie enemy ESP & infinite ammo without making the game otherwise easier? Good for training gunplay and movement abilities.
_(Maybe also give him dispensary for this context.)_
Another warframe I can visualize customize and the not see while I play. Yay!
I love how stealth works in this game!
I tried condemn on him subsumed his 4 and used a rubico, helps him play at a faster pace, in my opinion also pretty good for when with other players with chaos they cause the enemies to be in or when you get stuck without longer evade and the additional shields are nice for survivability. For endless mission types evade should be no problem but on quick missions could be more of a challenge so yeah I enjoy him. Will definitely be looking forward to how evade will work on other frames, it's a shame banshee doesn't get the benefits directly yet
I hope some of his kit gets added to Banshee. That scanner showing up through walls alone would make her sonar much nicer to use.
For more ease of use guys I would say dropping molt aug for arcane ice storm is great as your alt on the sniper grants guaranteed freeze for it giving you more duration for your 3.
"Cyte-09 breaks the game!"
[Laughs in Baruuk]
If you actually wanna do way more damage than the video , I have 300 strength and 145 range on Quincy with a rank 2 Arcane Crepuscular. I have Breach Surge subsumed over his 2. Mod the Neutralizer for Blast and put Galvanized Aptitude and Primary Acuity together and just build for crit and spectral serration. Average shot damage is 25 million and with priming I have managed to hit 180 million. Highest Breach Surge damage is -2.1 billion which is damage cap.
22:44 Stalker and his associates crossing time and space to punish us for killing the Sergent 🤣
Been messing around with acuity and cannonade on the neutralizer rifle since I don't run the bond mod that gives you 60% firerate, I get some pretty whacky red crits, but I'm honestly not sure of it's effectiveness compared to Brozime running the normal galvanized stuff, granted I also don't have spectral serration so I also don't know there.
Did Banshee get better with this update? I'm not talking about a rework. Cyte-09's subsume is his invis, you have the crit arcane, and all the weakpoint mods
Are you saying banshees sonars count as weakpoints for the mods?
Banshee is a sleeper A tier, silence+gloom basically just turns enemies off. Sonar makes fake weakpoints though, so no synergy there.
@jacob-2271 I dont know. Which is why I'm asking.
@@jacob-2271No they don't unless the sonar weak points are on the heads of enemies.
Where’s the blue arrows???? Why is he not named after a German??? (bleach)
Only thing this frame needs is a Teleport mod for his invisibility. When grouping with other frames if you set up for Sniping you get left WAY behind. Im sure somebody will comment " Skill issue bruh." Yes he is a mid range combat sniper. No I dont have Dual Toxi yet. But a 3 Shot Teleport to target would be amazing for Zipping him through tile sets.
Could even be a press and hold option for his Scan ability. Could even be a movement speed buff.
Just go operator with magus cadence. I am faster than just about everyone I group with regardless of who is playing what. It takes a little practice to know when to sling, how to sling and when to just sprint. The Naramon way-bounds help too.
Don't see anyone else doing this and operator arcanes are kind of bad in general, so this seems like an obvious choice.
Cyte-09’s Evade/3rd ability also restores your HP when you get a kill, it’s way better than you think as a survivability tool.
You say survivability, I say combat discipline/arcane avenger.
"Cyte-09 breaks the game!"
[Laughs in Octavia]
Sir Brozime, you are GENIUS.
I would love to know your build for the drifter when you were doing the story. I'm sure you have it somewhere, but if not, I would love to see it.
This
I wonder if he'll stay this way seems fucking nuts but i'm glad
if you want to brain off mode with him pick arca plasmor or any good gun that's not an incarnon (so it can get auto-reloaded) that can hit weakpoints and cast your 2 when needed, it works pretty well, better than his sniper in most cases which is kind of a bummer that you can just be more efficient if you don't use his exalted weapon
I've been running him with Phage and it's pretty ridiculous.
Modded Phage for viral/corrosive and use blast from resupply
The limit of how much damage the big thick scaldra take is either not working on xbox, or doesnt apply if you hit their backpack, because ive been 2 and 3 tapping them in seconds
His helminth is something that will make alot of squishy frames more accessible to solo players😊
It’s crazy how they made his 2 just lavos passive
I've noticed a bug where after a while of remaining invisible enemies will simply start ignoring your invisibility and start shooting at you.
Last point of sound it's stupid but that's the main way they can shot you
Is the Reconifex worth investing into? Wondering if I should grind for those parts quicker or not
From what he said on stream, it's alright. He was doing work with it tho. If you really want an lmg and can't get the trumna then go for it.
Its a decent lmg for anyone EXCEPT Cyte, due to his ammo ability being overriden by the LMG unique reload feature. On anyone else its great as a heat proc stacking weapon.
It's komorex at home.
There is literally no similarities between a komorex and reconifex
I love Cyte 09's kit, and he's very cohesive and is so much fun. My only criticism that there are certain game modes whrre his gameplay style is kinda suboptimal
Finally "Our build" has arrive.
I am in love with this Frame. He is so fresh for me, and he is so much fun. Absolute blast to play, he feels great, his kit is incredibly cohesive, and you just feel awesome while playing
It's seemingly pretty rare these days that a frame is this good on launch.
Until now I thought Quincy was Rhino batch lmao
I think the Dedicants are the single worst enemy introduced to the game in years, I absolutely despise them. I'm begrudgingly tolerant of DA on Archons and other boss enemies, but putting DA on a rank and file enemy is just totally ass. Even using Madurai on the best weapons on the game with the best damage buffs in the game with the Dedicant fully armour stripped and hitting its weak spot for full red crits, it takes longer to kill one of those than an Archon (total time to kill while it's vulnerable, not the whole mission obviously), and there's at least five each mission. I really really REALLY hope DE dial back the DA on it, because they're not remotely engaging to fight nor do they drop anything that makes them worth wasting time on (afaik). A serious design blunder on DE's part for an otherwise 10/10 faction that feel great to engage with.
I like it they force a response that might make it so you get overwhelmed :) but it need to take more damage from status
The issue isn't that it disrupts the gameplay loop, the issue is that it disrupts the gameplay loop by... making you stop what you're doing and hold left click for a while. That's it. That's the full extent of that engagement. God help if you're on Steel Path with something other than Miter or Torid.
@@miss_bec Yo, good news regarding these guys. In the latest patch Dedicants got their HP cut in half.
Currently at 34 fking run of the same mission and still the cyte neuroptic part elude me.
I had really good luck on the Systems and Neuroptics and then took 2 days worth of standing to farm the Chassis (LR3) so here's hoping you just have the 1 roadblock!
Might I suggest a 3rd alternative to spectral serration? The neutraliser is semi trigger so it seems Semi-rifle cannonade would work too? Unless there's a specific reason it wouldn't.
Absolutely an option and will be better than serration I just went for the easy swap for people who don’t have a lot of the newer mods
I kinda wish that Neutralizer's grenade was a mod that you could put on any Sniper Rifle.
Throw jades subsume on his 4th with the same set up and its pretty good for a weapons platform, ez headshots and the armor strip and heat procs are just a bonus
Or gloom but ophidian eyes is a single cast with a good duration
i forgot about quincy because im too busy grinding the hex to get the dumb ass ax-52
i wonder how all the new invisibility related stuff changes the way other warframes that go invisible are built
The way to get more people to stick with this game is creating a feature customize your own proto frame
The supply cache might just be on a timer. I've had it activate several hundred meters away when I was killing enemies with just regular weapons, without Cyte-09's wallhack.
How can there even be op warframes. Content can easily be done by any warframe built right. The frames just change the methods of doing so
I haven't played in a while but the weak shot and forced proc sounds crazy for pocket mesa Pyranna build
Every gun is a Zenith! Or the Farsight from Perfect Dark. Does he do a lot of damage shooting into a mag bubble? Also are we getting Nyx and Trinity builds?
ik this is a quincy video... but after reading the description of it, all i can think is, "my ash build is gonna be unstoppable with max arcane crepuscular"
Might just be a skill issue but he gets considerably better when using M&K compared to controller due to the inherently higher accuracy. I've been using controller for like 14 years now and Im still not accurate enough to consistently hit headshots with Quincy.
finally a video that isnt titled SO BROKEN OMG
I was under the impression Galv mods don't work on Exalted weapons?
When they say +dmg or whatever against weak point, do they count Banshee's Sonar/Helios' precept as well as heads/robotic cores etc. as the same kinda thing as Cyte's? Also, nice that he affects Acid Shells!
Just realized the sniper rifle skill reminds me of the far sight rifle from perfect dark
the only problem i've had with him has been that his 3 jumps back for some reason. not really sure why they made that choice...
You "evade" then invis I find it quite nice to do 3 then 1 or 1 then 3 :)
Also a great frame for very chill solo archon hunting 👍🏻
brilliant design
random opinion, but Archon shards are only ever useful for when you are going for level cap and they are not needed to clear basic star chart. you can easily clear the basic start chart, and heck even reach 20 minutes on a survival with no archon shards.
I certainly hope so considering we were running steel path for years before archon shards even existed. If they were mandatory I don't know how we would have done it.
Switched out Energy Nexus with Primed Redirection & Arcane Crepuscular with Energize to make him a bit more tanky.
Replaced his 3 with Condemn, cus I am bad at aiming and when enemies dont move its way easier to headshot.
People complaining about this being op forgor gara and saryn exist.
That makes so much sense now that the big as fuck Scaldra units are damage-capped
Does the garunteed element affect the incarnon form of weapons?
No. It doesn’t work on a lot of stuff. Things need to have a magazine to be reloaded. Incarnons, things like the nataruk, recharging weapons like kit guns that recharge, I think recharging beams like the cycron. None of that works. It needs to be a gun you reload.
I just used Quincy in some Netracells and he does really well there.
anyone thinking he's broken gotta remember that saryn, mesa, protea, khora, xaku, etc exist
I thought, during the quest, that Quincy was supposed to be proto rhino.
I find all the extra range on cyte to be overkill. Like you said yourself enemies don't even spawn that far out. Instead I find it more comfortable to run higher duration and power, to make it easier to keep Evade up at all times, particularly as your running arcane crespular, and spectral serration. While this isn't super hard alone, when a efficient group is annihilating enemies as they spawn in AoE in many situations, keeping it up can become much more difficult, You can also slot in some extra power, check out my dead eye reverb build on overframe to see the full setup. Evade has a cool down, so having it drop off can cause some damage falloff. I find range at 169% to be the sweet spot, giving you a round 100 meters of scan distance and 17 meters of punch through to be plenty to get people through walls, and almost never encounter something I can see but can't shoot. You don't want to skimp on power because it scales your damage in several ways. Higher weakpoint damage, higher sniper damage, higher neut combo damage multiplier. Final stats on build before conditionals is 254% duration 45% efficiency 169% range 208% strength
I find having massive range helps to make Cyte more mobile because he doesn't have to place as many scanners down as he proceeds through a map. It makes him feel overall nicer to play imho.
A true sniper playstyle? In WarFrame? I need it.
real question tho, will there ever be a Prime Variant and will it come with a Prime Gemini Skin :O
Warframe Youbluber: OP, Broken, Angel of Destruction!
Me: Meh. It's Ok.
This is a pretty lore-accurate build (i.e. first Hex Quest) but even while invisible you'll still get wiped out by AoE damage, especially when playing in public squads. I've been trying to find a balance between range and general survivability if anyone has any tips?
I kept seeing other builds and not understanding why people don’t go for more range and some duration. I feel so vindicated with Brozime posting this build
Range to me has been based on the mission you do and the tilesets where I use 130 to 109 I see reason to massive range sometimes too
