Really sorry about the delay on this one, I caught a nasty stomach flu so I had to take the weekend off (this was planned to be released last Friday) Hopefully you enjoy, let me know your thoughts about Wisp! As always your support is greatly appreciated
hey Nova, sharing wisp all rounder build: combat discipline + arcane avenger for flat 45 cc, 145 or plus range and archon stretch so passive energy and can go as low as 45% efficiency, unairu for Armor and shield strip and for survival keep jumping as per latest invisibility changes it takes 1sec for enemy to spot you, use helminth to subsume off 4th and put roar, nourish, xata, etc. Note: will o wisp ability is good for spy missions as it does not trigger alarms and provides 3 sec of invincibility. source: wisp main and 3k+ hours in game.
Wisp is good - but can you last with her at least 2 H vs 9999 mobs? I doubt it =)) SO she is not too good - her stats ( abilities) just are super over tuned . Its DE fault. PS DE ReALLY needs to balance their frames - that way that each frame will have specific ROLE it SUPPOSE to do! For example here - Wisp is SUPPORT - so fukin MAKE HER support not - aoe killer frame.
Thanks for this video was waiting for this for a long time. Also interesting synergy for Wisp. Her Will o Wisp can pass through lasers without triggering them, making her excellent for Spy too.
@@wenomachosia Oh I see! It's been a long while since I played; I can see the will-o-the-wisp inspirations in the original skin though! Orb face, wispy trailings, etc.
As much as I love Wisp I think it's kind of sad to see that Wisp, being released almost 4 years ago, is the most recent frame that has a distinctive role in a team. Every frame that came after her are either jack of all trades or lackluster. Considering pablo already somewhat mentioned that Citrine is going to be a support frame I hope she'll be Wisp level good
I mean true with the jack of all trades... I would say she is similar to protea where they both have 1 extremely universally useful support ability that makes them good in any team but they also have very strong damage potential (breach surge/turrets) No warframe truly defines a single playstyle (except trinity) where they can only do a single thing really well or are only good for 1 mission type. So jack of all trades have to do everything. If they want to go back to raids they will have to rebalance a lot of the warframes to make them viable or we are just going to see wisp/saryn/protea/volt
@@kabe6927 As a Wisp main I think it would be great if Citrine's design learns from what makes Wisp so exceptional. Notably being able to keep yourself alive easily and simple to use buffs that increase team dps. Last thing we need is another support frame that give shield, health, DR or energy. There are enough ways to stay alive and never run out of energy already
@@Legendaryrobot64 yes considering it's 2023, nobody needs another oberon or trinity but I dont have much hope for Citrine if I'm being honest. Recent frame releases have always had this "solo/selfish" kit designs and I expect Citrine to be no different sadly Though I hope I'm wrong
@@kabe6927 Yeah I agree unfortunately. Pablo does have a track record of designing jack of all trades frames as well so atm it's not looking very good lol
Just wanted to point out that Archon Strtch works amazingly with her electric mote, giving passive energy income on a frame that doesn’t use that much energy, so you can effectively ignore efficiency and boost up everything else
Plus health mote can reliably proc archon intensify and archon vitality can increase the damage of sol gate's heat procs. I'm weird and put a full 5 set of blue shards for armor to make my archon wisp that much tankier
I always wanted to see an augment for her motes that would turn them from 'defensive' motes into 'offensive ones. Like the health one could drain enemy hp inside the circle, green could slow enemies, blue idk. Something that effects the enemies instead of the players, like curses instead of buffs.
Meaning what? So, she is.... what? She don't have anything for you to be able to say she is good at that thing. You can say she is maybe a support in a party, kind of, not really. No atk skills, no defense skills, nothing. She boosts some stats of other players, but not yours and definitely no attack boost, which is most important.
@@UmbraFulgur She's a support jack-of-all-trades frame, and her buffs does benefit everyone yes. Including the user. And the question was about her theme, not her role. She's a will o wisp as in the fae thing, supposedly
One of Wisp's greatest strengths is her ability synergy. All of her abilities interact with each other, such as Motes buffing Sol Gate, Will-o-Wisp doubling Breach Surge, and Breach Surge having increased range when teleporting to Motes.
@@Tom-fl8eh It still makes you invulnerable for three seconds on teleport, and you can spam it unlike rolling guard to chain the invuln through status procs.
@@UmbraFulgur From Wikipedia: In folklore, a will-o'-the-wisp, will-o'-wisp, or ignis fatuus (Latin) for 'foolish flame, is an atmospheric ghost light seen by travellers at night, especially over bogs, swamps or marshes. The phenomenon is known in much of European folklore by a variety of names, including jack-o'lantern, friar's lantern, and hinkypunk, and is said to mislead travellers by resembling a flickering lamp or lantern. So Wisp is based on those lights, you can even see those light in her idle and abilities.
I've been making wisp since pretty much she came out. While never the best frame for any situation, there's never a situation that you'll find wisp not being good at. Buffing health, passive healing, increased move speed, increased fire speed for greater DPS, armor strip, CC, teleport. Her toolbox is disgusting, and then they added Helminth for extra shenanigans. She doesn't really synergize with other frames, but nobody is going to complain about a power/duration wisp just making their life easier. And my final and most valid point: Dat ass.
We're due for Wisp Prime pretty soon, aren't we? I haven't bought Prime Access in a while (because I didn't use the frames featured), but when Wisp Prime drops, Base Wisp is getting fed to the Helminth and replaced with her gilded and bejeweled younger sister. Don't worry, Base Wisp. You'll live on in my Mirage Umbra. 😁
@@Femba3 Yeah but they don't always release in release order, just look at Inaros and Nezha prime. But a good point I saw was that they will want to release her prime with tennocon since she is so popular.
If we’re going off lore. Wisp prime is technically wisp’s big sister. The primes came before the normal frames according to the lore. I got rid of my wisp for breach surge awhile ago because I knew her prime is coming out this summer. Hildryn in the spring, wisp in the summer, and gauss in the fall. On top of all that, there’s a new update still to come and then duviri after that??? This is gonna be a great year for warframe.
I've been maining Wisp since she came out, and I still remember when I tried to figure out a build for her. Before her, I usually just copied a build from some big RUclipsr, and I'm happy that I tried to branch out with her.
I finally decided to farm out Wisp last week. I wasn't super interested in her, but as a newer player, gotta get that mastery. So I built her and leveled her, and man, she's alot of fun. I got a skin for her, and been playing her almost exclusively for 3-4 days now lol
When I first got the game I kept dying in missions and struggled to do stealth, this was only a little bit after Wisp was first released and I was looking through the Warframes and found Wisp, I looked into her more and she looked amazing so I bought her with Plat (I had like just reached Mars don't judge me) and she hard carried me all the way until Sedna when I started using Revenant. I can't wait for her to get her own Prime, she's one of my favorite Warframes and by far the one I have the most playtime on.
@@Surr3alD3sign, is the only way to some frames. Wisp is one, Gauss another, Lavos, Sevagoth , Ash, Hildryn to name a few. Those frames are practically impossible to get by farming because you either need a party to do the missions or have some rank and standing with a faction very difficult to get standing, like Fortuna and Entrati. While, for Entrati is very difficult, for Fortuna it's impossible to reach rank 3 and above. And Vox Solaris also, since you need max affinity with Solaris United.
Enchantments are usually viewed as a magic you place on something and then it does it's thing on its own. Wisp's motes and even her 3 do that perfectly imo.
One thing you missed about Breach Surge is the benefit of sparks radiation damage. It can act as a 2nd form of CC and damage for each target a spark hits but doesn't kill in crowded fights by turning them into addition targets for the mobs. This takes the enemies focus off wisp when you factor her passive regularly blinking her in and out of enemy radar.
As a Wisp main, it's always fun to see people talk about the one thing we all love on her, no matter how much we go over it. Those big, chunky, beautiful MOTES BABY WOOOOOO
She is my go to warframe for anything (spy, survival, defense missions and archon hunts) and having her for the team or solo is incredible. I'm now waiting to put elemental ward on her and just be the most tanky/supportive I can be, plus good dmg😏.
She can't do anything. No def, no atk, no nothing. Mediocre stats at best and mobility average. So, how can you use her at something, anything? She doesn't even have legs to run, she is floating making it very difficult to maneuver her, because every move is not precise, you never know for sure if you are where you're supposed to be.
this is such a good channel for someone who has just come back to the game after the best part of a decade and has no idea how the game arrived at its current state
Wisp feels safe and comfy to play, always useful like a much more enjoyable Inaros. And of course most people prefer playing things that are aesthetically appealing.
Video on Nekros when? Wisp is yet another Warframe that has more cohesion amongst her abilities that really amplifies her strength. Meanwhile Nekros is the go-to for one purpose, farming, and for other uses requires augments (and other specific mods) for more than just convenience like Wisp's. He's unlike most other frames since people will play him for only one ability and people will happily protect you while you do nothing just to make sure it's always up with how beneficial it is for farming.
I see wisp, I see title name, I see new video. I want to farm wisp now for a second time to at least appreciate the support use. Probably gonna try one hand tactics XD. Great video man
Will-O-Wisp still good for navigation uses and invisibility for large groups or high power enemies like Narmer amalgams or cc immune enemies like eximus, and sol-gate can be used in decently high level SP with enough power strength and her synergies. Literally nothing about her kit is bad which is wild
Honestly I would love for de to change every invisibility to how wisps works like I'm sure Ivara's deluxe skin and her prime look cool but I can't see them and it would be neat if I could.
Wisp is my most played frame I have just over a thousand hours and she clocks 35 percent of it. Of note her 2nd can bypass lazer barricades in corpus tiles and pretty good at negating most status procs with the 3 seconds of invulnerability.
8:45 and the last pod is a shock pod which gives you a shocking aura , man i'm losing braincells the older i get if that made me giggle lol . love ur content
"She's only meta because of her appearance." Never used her because of it, i was a Mesa main until they introduced eximus. After finally hesitantly playing her after the update, i fell in love with her kit- the healing buff, the speed buff- the dps buff- she is definitely a piece of candy and is now my main. No other frame felt like it
Wisp by far is my favorite "go-to" frame for SP. I have ensnare subsumed over sol gate and one of my favorite melee's is the stropha. Basically, run into a room, ensnare everything, breaching surge, then heavy attack to annihilate everything in like a 2-tile radius lol.
I'm surprised to hear that people don't look that highly on will o wisp, and would even consider swapping it out of her kit. That ability alone is 3/4 of loki's kit. You can double tap it whenever you need 3 seconds of invulnerability in a pinch. Why bother with rolling guard? There's no cool down, spam away. Will 0 wisps invisibility doesn't break when you shoot weapons. It stuns enemies when you teleport. And the synergy it has with breach surge is AMAZING. You can get past lasers in spy missions with it too. It's a really good traversal ability in general as well. I think people need to remember that it's a traversal, a traversal that provides a multitude of useful gimmicks depending on how you use it.. And for a traversal, that's pretty frigging good. now her ult on the other hand, yeah... I always helmith it out in every build, I just don't have much use for an ability that can't outclass weapons in damage while costing that much energy to maintain. It also hinders wisps movement, and it's damage won't scale well in late game. Really wish they would rework/change sol gate into an exalted beam weapon (with less of a drain than it currently has), so you could mod it and still use the rest of your kit and not hinder your mobility when it's activated.
Unless I missed it, you didn't mention that her Will-O-Wsp ability can go through lasers undetected, that combined with her invisibility makes her extremely good at Spy missions to.
As a Wisp main, I don't use Fused Resevoir. Sure the QOL is nice but I'm losing out on 15% strength from Power Drift. Time saved is not worth the loss of mote strength in my opinion.
Somthing that wasnt mentioned was that when you teleport to your will-o-wisp, you are temporarily invincible, so wisp basically has her own rolling gaurd in her kit
When you run around with a 700% pwr strength wisp there is not much outside of mid to late steel path that can kill anyone paying any attention, just a shame shock motes scale off nothing and tend to be not something you use outside of said content. And I still need more red shards to get her to 750-800...
Need 5 Wisp Primes to dominate the game asap. Apart from Gauss, I am also a Wisp lover/main and uh...I have some ideas for helminth based loadouts for her already. Which is why I want 5 of her~ 🗿
wisp all rounder build: combat discipline + arcane avenger for flat 45 cc, 145 or plus range and archon stretch so passive energy and can go as low as 45% efficiency, unairu for Armor and shield strip and for survival keep jumping as per latest invisibility changes it takes 1sec for enemy to spot you, use helminth to subsume off 4th and put roar, nourish, xata, etc. Note: will o wisp ability is good for spy missions as it does not trigger alarms and provides 3 sec of invincibility. source: wisp main and 3k+ hours in game.
Do you need Comat Discipline? Considering how Wisp can face tank lots of dmg and just go with Growing Power Edit: I definitely am playing Wisp the wrong way cause I don’t like jumping around so much 😂
@@lerosallyn9279 we are using combat discipline and arcane avenger for flat 45 cc, steelpath enemies at 200+ starts to chew off health so no point of face tanking. Also one thing to note that the formula of damage in warframe is complicated but in short more multiplier are better than single high multiplier and so many weapons can get crazy powerful with that 45% extra cc and the amount of power strength you get from growing power can be replaced with archon shards. I like jumping as playing wisp definitely not because of her assets.
wisp main here also :D I dont put range on her cause 100 range is enough I feel like :D I go with 350 str 150+ duration and umbra vitality and intensify :D her 2 made me not get one shotted from stupid mechanics all the time u dont even need shield gating or other shit like that with her to survive
@@v1k37 Ah gotcha I usually just run GP even with my archon shards because of Reservoir bragging rights hahaha I also DID NOT conveniently forget that wisp will heal combat discipline even though I said myself that she heals beyond enemy dmg at the level I’m at 🤦🏻♂️ Also, definitely agree about her jumping umm animations. I will say that archwing content is where she shines, esp when you’re speed boosting cause of her umm assets
I'm just going to say that breach surge fits amazingly in a rising storm ash build , cause it doesn't have a target cap and has a chance to proc on hit and 100% chance on death , you see where I'm getting at ?
Mote augment is kinda band-aid unless you have helminth empower in your kit, then it saves ALOT more time and some energy since all 3 buffs per one empower instead of ,,empower>mote>empower>mote>empower>mote”
Its funny how wisp's weakest ability is literally 3 of Loki's abilities fused together, which shows that either wisp powercrept the game by a mile, or that Loki needs a bloody rework. Also as a Nekros main, I relish every time I see a wisp because it means my shades are about to CC the entire map into oblivion.
@@lihzzahrdspeed6631 Will o Wisp It's a decoy. In turns wisp invisible And wisp can teleport to its location at will. And decoy, invisibility & switch teleport are Lokis 1 2 3 skills respectively. So I mean what I said, wisp has 3/4 loki's skills all packed into will o wisp and its ridiculous. (And again will o wisp is the weakest of her powers)
loki absolutely needs a rework. invisibility is what hard carries him. switch teleport has no place in the current speed of the game, only useful for moving drones on the plains. decoy is well out dated for many reasons. radial disarm is a terrible 4 and at this point in time feels like a 2 or a 3 ability.
@@howdareyouexist decoy is exceptionally strong the issue is they gave it non scaling health its a hologram lmao , but the aggro draw is on levels of octavias resonator so can break AI if you can keep it alive , switch teleport needs a rework but with augment its built in rolling guard tbh and has its uses ,his uktimate is niche and very niche a rework woukd be nice also a secondary passive
I just started playing warframe again like 2 days ago(had to make a new account sadly forgot the info of my old one) and I found wisp in the warframe section and thought she looked interesting. Had no idea how strong she was but I’m definitely gonna be a wisp main and excited for her prime soon
I understand your reasoning to why you'd subsume wisp's 2 but I personally find the 3 s invulnerability too valuable, but i think i might try to make a build trying to deal as much damage as possible with the Kamehameha wave . Great video, great channel 👍🏼
Wisp is no joke, the best frame I have ever used, she just does her kit so perfectly and fits amazingly well for any role, her regeneration and shield gating means that she can easily be a damage sponge, her shock mote is seriously slept on as a cheap CC, the haste mote is just straight up extra fire rate and speed. Will o Wisp can give you up to 5 seconds of unbreakable invisibility, and her decoy draws aggro, she does invisibility better than some stealth frames (Loki, Ivara) Her breach surge is crazy powerful in terms of CC and damage output. Hell, I'd even argue that Sol Gate being not as good as the rest of her kit means that you can Helminth other abilities into her kit and make some absolutely broken combos (Gloom Wisp, 95% slow combined with shock motes and the enemies are literally going to be cc'ed for so long it's not even funny) Wisp is, without a shadow of a doubt, the single best warframe that DE has released, arguably the best designed frame in terms of kit in the entire games HISTORY. I am eagerly awaiting Wisp Prime to drop
She is based off a will-o-wisp shepard of the head who uses a spiritual believer violet flame to guide spirits. Plus since her ultimate rips open a hole in space to bent the sun's radiation in a beam she is now a worthy of jolly cooperation with sir solar of astora
Wisp has a fantastic kit IDK why people focus on the motes... Breach surge is op, motes affect wisp herself, will-o-wisp is a range buffer +distraction to enemies. Her passive is amazing. I just replace Sol-Gate with roar and I'm powerful enough to do everything on my own.

I finally decided to farm out Wisp last week. I wasn't super interested in her, but as a newer player, gotta get that mastery. So I built her and leveled her, and man, she's alot of fun. I got a skin for her, and been playing her almost exclusively for 3-4 days now lol
Get the fused reservoir augment. You'll love her even more
i find the electric mote annoying so i never used the aug
When I first got the game I kept dying in missions and struggled to do stealth, this was only a little bit after Wisp was first released and I was looking through the Warframes and found Wisp, I looked into her more and she looked amazing so I bought her with Plat (I had like just reached Mars don't judge me) and she hard carried me all the way until Sedna when I started using Revenant. I can't wait for her to get her own Prime, she's one of my favorite Warframes and by far the one I have the most playtime on.
Oof big rip, buying regular frames for plat when you can buy like 6 primes for the same price as 1 non prime (cheaper ones anyway)
start, have problem ? you pick a ex or volt.
i start mag and her 3 and 4 give shilds so i just spam it and have alyes pourple shilds
@@Surr3alD3sign dude's new, leave'em alone. Besides that you really can't find 6 primes, even cheaper primes, for 150 plat. 650 plat, maybe.
@@bingbongdingdong867 I buy base frames with the 50% off from logging in, as i have all the primes that are out now. so they could have done the same.
@@Surr3alD3sign, is the only way to some frames. Wisp is one, Gauss another, Lavos, Sevagoth , Ash, Hildryn to name a few. Those frames are practically impossible to get by farming because you either need a party to do the missions or have some rank and standing with a faction very difficult to get standing, like Fortuna and Entrati. While, for Entrati is very difficult, for Fortuna it's impossible to reach rank 3 and above. And Vox Solaris also, since you need max affinity with Solaris United.
Enchantments are usually viewed as a magic you place on something and then it does it's thing on its own. Wisp's motes and even her 3 do that perfectly imo.
Wisp impressed me so much during her previews on the Dev Stream that upon her release I just flat out bought her. And I don't regret it.
also note that the shock mote is excellent for spy missions, and usually destroy all cameras on contact
One thing you missed about Breach Surge is the benefit of sparks radiation damage. It can act as a 2nd form of CC and damage for each target a spark hits but doesn't kill in crowded fights by turning them into addition targets for the mobs. This takes the enemies focus off wisp when you factor her passive regularly blinking her in and out of enemy radar.
some fire rate buffs r nice and all but she supports our eyes the most
As a Wisp main, it's always fun to see people talk about the one thing we all love on her, no matter how much we go over it. Those big, chunky, beautiful MOTES BABY WOOOOOO
It's all about the motes baby, I love the motes...
sol gate is just that meme "the sun is a deadly laser"
She is my go to warframe for anything (spy, survival, defense missions and archon hunts) and having her for the team or solo is incredible. I'm now waiting to put elemental ward on her and just be the most tanky/supportive I can be, plus good dmg😏.
She can't do anything. No def, no atk, no nothing. Mediocre stats at best and mobility average. So, how can you use her at something, anything? She doesn't even have legs to run, she is floating making it very difficult to maneuver her, because every move is not precise, you never know for sure if you are where you're supposed to be.
She's so shit that she is the most played support frame in the game! @@UmbraFulgur
@@UmbraFulgur🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The fused reservoir augment is NOT an auto include for most Wisp builds.
Yes, Sol gate is a bit lackluster but God damn is it fun as hell
Sol gate is the fun part that META players forgot so long ago
Trinity and Oberon: We're the healing Warframes, we're always useful.
Wisp at Hildryn: Hold my buttcheeks, I'm gonna push these two into irrelevancy.
She is worth every second of the grind, can't wait for a prime Wisp!
this is such a good channel for someone who has just come back to the game after the best part of a decade and has no idea how the game arrived at its current state
Wisp feels safe and comfy to play, always useful like a much more enjoyable Inaros.
And of course most people prefer playing things that are aesthetically appealing.
Video on Nekros when? Wisp is yet another Warframe that has more cohesion amongst her abilities that really amplifies her strength. Meanwhile Nekros is the go-to for one purpose, farming, and for other uses requires augments (and other specific mods) for more than just convenience like Wisp's. He's unlike most other frames since people will play him for only one ability and people will happily protect you while you do nothing just to make sure it's always up with how beneficial it is for farming.
Wisp has been my fav since she released. Literally the best warframe in game. Thanks for releasing this video, I've been waiting for it! 💜💜
I see wisp, I see title name, I see new video. I want to farm wisp now for a second time to at least appreciate the support use. Probably gonna try one hand tactics XD. Great video man
Will-O-Wisp still good for navigation uses and invisibility for large groups or high power enemies like Narmer amalgams or cc immune enemies like eximus, and sol-gate can be used in decently high level SP with enough power strength and her synergies. Literally nothing about her kit is bad which is wild
I cycle 4 mains she is one of them archon sharded out can’t wait for her prime variant…. Sharded lol
The augment is def not ab autoslot in most builds, in fact most people advice against it.
Since they added the grimoire, It's the only weapon I give her.
It just fits perfectly
Imagine Dante with his tome and the grimoire as secondary. I am curious what Dante can do with his tome.
Honestly I would love for de to change every invisibility to how wisps works like I'm sure Ivara's deluxe skin and her prime look cool but I can't see them and it would be neat if I could.
Man I can't wait for Ass Prime
Wisp is my most played frame I have just over a thousand hours and she clocks 35 percent of it. Of note her 2nd can bypass lazer barricades in corpus tiles and pretty good at negating most status procs with the 3 seconds of invulnerability.
I have around 600hrs, +90% Wisp 🙂
I'm pretty sure wisp has some slight inspiration from the banshee. Her 3 is classic banshee deception and her ultimate is literally a banshee scream
She's literally a Will-o'-the-wisp. Her second ability is even called Wil-o-Wisp
Yeah, I admit I replaced the helmet for the booty. But c'mon, there are better helms than that stock one.
the gameplay shows the camera on the left side and it's giving me anxiety
8:45 and the last pod is a shock pod which gives you a shocking aura , man i'm losing braincells the older i get if that made me giggle lol . love ur content
"She's only meta because of her appearance." Never used her because of it, i was a Mesa main until they introduced eximus. After finally hesitantly playing her after the update, i fell in love with her kit- the healing buff, the speed buff- the dps buff- she is definitely a piece of candy and is now my main. No other frame felt like it
she's the best warframe for ONE reason
Just wanted to say your frame vids are awesome!
Wisp by far is my favorite "go-to" frame for SP. I have ensnare subsumed over sol gate and one of my favorite melee's is the stropha. Basically, run into a room, ensnare everything, breaching surge, then heavy attack to annihilate everything in like a 2-tile radius lol.
I'll forever be spiteful by the fact that wisp 2 is a decoy, invisibility tool and teleport in one. That's loki entire kit...
I love how using the power of the literal sun is objectively her worst ability
Me: Wisp is my go-to warframe.
My friend: I know. She is the best support frame right?
Me:
My friend: She is the best support frame right?
Never disappoints
I'm surprised to hear that people don't look that highly on will o wisp, and would even consider swapping it out of her kit. That ability alone is 3/4 of loki's kit. You can double tap it whenever you need 3 seconds of invulnerability in a pinch. Why bother with rolling guard? There's no cool down, spam away. Will 0 wisps invisibility doesn't break when you shoot weapons. It stuns enemies when you teleport. And the synergy it has with breach surge is AMAZING. You can get past lasers in spy missions with it too. It's a really good traversal ability in general as well.
I think people need to remember that it's a traversal, a traversal that provides a multitude of useful gimmicks depending on how you use it.. And for a traversal, that's pretty frigging good.
now her ult on the other hand, yeah... I always helmith it out in every build, I just don't have much use for an ability that can't outclass weapons in damage while costing that much energy to maintain. It also hinders wisps movement, and it's damage won't scale well in late game. Really wish they would rework/change sol gate into an exalted beam weapon (with less of a drain than it currently has), so you could mod it and still use the rest of your kit and not hinder your mobility when it's activated.
Me to my wife: "I swear, I'm playing Wisp for the great solo-potential."
I've never been so pumped for her prime before in my life untill now.
I might actually get wisp, not because of her butt, but because of the fucking sun laser!
Unless I missed it, you didn't mention that her Will-O-Wsp ability can go through lasers undetected, that combined with her invisibility makes her extremely good at Spy missions to.
As a Wisp main, I don't use Fused Resevoir. Sure the QOL is nice but I'm losing out on 15% strength from Power Drift. Time saved is not worth the loss of mote strength in my opinion.
Somthing that wasnt mentioned was that when you teleport to your will-o-wisp, you are temporarily invincible, so wisp basically has her own rolling gaurd in her kit
sonic always has amazing soundtracks. I immediately knew it was sonic unleashed
When you run around with a 700% pwr strength wisp there is not much outside of mid to late steel path that can kill anyone paying any attention, just a shame shock motes scale off nothing and tend to be not something you use outside of said content.
And I still need more red shards to get her to 750-800...
... fantastic video!
Need 5 Wisp Primes to dominate the game asap. Apart from Gauss, I am also a Wisp lover/main and uh...I have some ideas for helminth based loadouts for her already. Which is why I want 5 of her~ 🗿
i love the effort u put in ur vids
wisp all rounder build:
combat discipline + arcane avenger for flat 45 cc, 145 or plus range and archon stretch so passive energy and can go as low as 45% efficiency, unairu for Armor and shield strip and for survival keep jumping as per latest invisibility changes it takes 1sec for enemy to spot you, use helminth to subsume off 4th and put roar, nourish, xata, etc.
Note: will o wisp ability is good for spy missions as it does not trigger alarms and provides 3 sec of invincibility.
source: wisp main and 3k+ hours in game.
Do you need Comat Discipline? Considering how Wisp can face tank lots of dmg and just go with Growing Power
Edit: I definitely am playing Wisp the wrong way cause I don’t like jumping around so much 😂
@@lerosallyn9279 we are using combat discipline and arcane avenger for flat 45 cc, steelpath enemies at 200+ starts to chew off health so no point of face tanking. Also one thing to note that the formula of damage in warframe is complicated but in short more multiplier are better than single high multiplier and so many weapons can get crazy powerful with that 45% extra cc and the amount of power strength you get from growing power can be replaced with archon shards.
I like jumping as playing wisp definitely not because of her assets.
wisp main here also :D I dont put range on her cause 100 range is enough I feel like :D I go with 350 str 150+ duration and umbra vitality and intensify :D her 2 made me not get one shotted from stupid mechanics all the time u dont even need shield gating or other shit like that with her to survive
@@v1k37 Ah gotcha I usually just run GP even with my archon shards because of Reservoir bragging rights hahaha I also DID NOT conveniently forget that wisp will heal combat discipline even though I said myself that she heals beyond enemy dmg at the level I’m at 🤦🏻♂️
Also, definitely agree about her jumping umm animations. I will say that archwing content is where she shines, esp when you’re speed boosting cause of her umm assets
@@duckeffect1448 I will never subsume over her 2 because that is my panic button yeah insane how even her ‘weaker’ abilities still do so much
I'm just going to say that breach surge fits amazingly in a rising storm ash build , cause it doesn't have a target cap and has a chance to proc on hit and 100% chance on death , you see where I'm getting at ?
This month's (may) devstream is probably going to announce Wisp Prime, and HOOOO BOYYY I bet that's gonna be great
yknow i think its wild that warframe has more body type representation than most games out there
As far as I know, Wisp is a kill farming/mobility frame, use the teleporter clone to pop right in the middle of a group, spam melee, repeat.
She kinda looks like a female GhostFreak (Ben10) but THICK
Just get a load of that BUDGET!
I Just unlocked this beauty couple hours ago. Being a support main, Im already in love
Mote augment is kinda band-aid unless you have helminth empower in your kit, then it saves ALOT more time and some energy since all 3 buffs per one empower instead of ,,empower>mote>empower>mote>empower>mote”
Wow, I literally just got Wisp a few hours ago
How do you only have like 9K subs?? Your channel is so good!
Its funny how wisp's weakest ability is literally 3 of Loki's abilities fused together, which shows that either wisp powercrept the game by a mile, or that Loki needs a bloody rework.
Also as a Nekros main, I relish every time I see a wisp because it means my shades are about to CC the entire map into oblivion.
I don’t see what you mean by that
@@lihzzahrdspeed6631 Will o Wisp
It's a decoy.
In turns wisp invisible
And wisp can teleport to its location at will.
And decoy, invisibility & switch teleport are Lokis 1 2 3 skills respectively.
So I mean what I said, wisp has 3/4 loki's skills all packed into will o wisp and its ridiculous.
(And again will o wisp is the weakest of her powers)
loki absolutely needs a rework. invisibility is what hard carries him. switch teleport has no place in the current speed of the game, only useful for moving drones on the plains. decoy is well out dated for many reasons. radial disarm is a terrible 4 and at this point in time feels like a 2 or a 3 ability.
@@howdareyouexist decoy is exceptionally strong the issue is they gave it non scaling health its a hologram lmao , but the aggro draw is on levels of octavias resonator so can break AI if you can keep it alive , switch teleport needs a rework but with augment its built in rolling guard tbh and has its uses ,his uktimate is niche and very niche a rework woukd be nice also a secondary passive
The pure joy I feel when I see a wisp join my game is... Immense
The augment just made her soooo op and so much faster
We all know why Wil-O-Wisp distracts enemies 👀
I just started playing warframe again like 2 days ago(had to make a new account sadly forgot the info of my old one) and I found wisp in the warframe section and thought she looked interesting. Had no idea how strong she was but I’m definitely gonna be a wisp main and excited for her prime soon
I understand your reasoning to why you'd subsume wisp's 2 but I personally find the 3 s invulnerability too valuable, but i think i might try to make a build trying to deal as much damage as possible with the Kamehameha wave . Great video, great channel 👍🏼
Using roar as her 4 is also really good tho
I use terrify for 100% armor strip
I have a kitgun named "Wisp is thicc", literally made it when wisp came out
The perfect thumbnail exists
As a Destiny player, motes have a very "conflicted" relationship with me. I can still here the "ding ding ding" in my sleep.
Wisp is no joke, the best frame I have ever used, she just does her kit so perfectly and fits amazingly well for any role, her regeneration and shield gating means that she can easily be a damage sponge, her shock mote is seriously slept on as a cheap CC, the haste mote is just straight up extra fire rate and speed.
Will o Wisp can give you up to 5 seconds of unbreakable invisibility, and her decoy draws aggro, she does invisibility better than some stealth frames (Loki, Ivara)
Her breach surge is crazy powerful in terms of CC and damage output.
Hell, I'd even argue that Sol Gate being not as good as the rest of her kit means that you can Helminth other abilities into her kit and make some absolutely broken combos (Gloom Wisp, 95% slow combined with shock motes and the enemies are literally going to be cc'ed for so long it's not even funny)
Wisp is, without a shadow of a doubt, the single best warframe that DE has released, arguably the best designed frame in terms of kit in the entire games HISTORY.
I am eagerly awaiting Wisp Prime to drop
She is based off a will-o-wisp shepard of the head who uses a spiritual believer violet flame to guide spirits. Plus since her ultimate rips open a hole in space to bent the sun's radiation in a beam she is now a worthy of jolly cooperation with sir solar of astora
Bruh literally a few hours after I ask for one? NICE!
Wisp has a fantastic kit IDK why people focus on the motes...
Breach surge is op, motes affect wisp herself, will-o-wisp is a range buffer +distraction to enemies. Her passive is amazing. I just replace Sol-Gate with roar and I'm powerful enough to do everything on my own.
Fly in the Freedom, a man of culture.
Wisp prime might bring me back to the game, for a while at least.
