The fact that some people are reading the title and thinking to themselves “why would zephyr get nerf, if anything she needs a buff”. Still most underrated war frame imo
If you have the space for it, you could also use umbral intensify and umbral vitality instead of transient fortitude and constitution. Same strength buff, but with no negative duration, and you get more health
wait, you're using overextended, and to off put the negative strength, you put transient fortitude, so you end up with 105 strength and 175 range, with 2 mods, but can't you just put stretch and augur reach for the same effect? also transient takes away duration, which i assume you wanted back by putting constitution, but, but, you wouldn't need that, with stretch and augur reach, so you could've put umbral intensify there? for strength? like, please knightmare explain this way of building it doesn't make sense
Yeah but you’d suffer from -5% duration which if you rly wanna stretch numbers and maximise, you have other sources of strength as shown in the vid while keeping duration positive. As with any yt build, once you understand why choices were made (like strength able to be increased from other sources), you are free to simply use it as a template for your own modifications. If the negative duration with Augur Reach, Stretch, and Umbral Intensify work for you then by all means!
Replacing Constitution, Transient Fortitude & Overextended for what you suggested alone would give the exact same results as his current build, while leaving one mod slot free for a rank 4 Flow, which would make better use of Arcane Energize. Stills, this is a very expensive and pepega version of Vauban.
I seriously love how Hydroid's 1 with some good dur can set up run-and-gun death zones or just absolutely ramp up in a concentrated area on the same build. 1handed cast btw.! I recommend keeping an eye on your team's Wisp and preempt where she'll Breach Surge with your 1, for example. You'll start up the strip/viral stacks, then the surge sparks just absolutely destroy. There is a lot of double-dipping to be taken advantage of in these setups! Highly recommend Mag in a setup like I described, so much double-dipping on so many multis. Hydroid has such great team options now, glad to add Zephyr to that list. I wonder how well her tapped funnel clouds could do in teams where camping is overkill and slow.
I really hope we can toogle tap/hold ability foreach ability instead of warframe. Zephyr here for example tap her 2 and hold her 4, you cannot make both abilities tap or hold
I've never seen such backwards modding before. Use stretch and augur reach to replace overextended and transient fortitude and u basically have the same build with an extra slot for literally anything.
Polarity is a thing that exists lmfao why are you going over the redundant modding when you can get the same damn result some of these warframe players are sheep
This could be MUCH better if you used Nautilus with a gas electric build, so you are doing Gas, Elec, Viral and Corrosive, thereford you can auto use the Manifold Bond automatically just casting Tempest Barrage and then your Nautilus cooldown for Cordon would auto reset every 1-2s max. That would remove the need to be swapping to operator for the magus anomaly, which is kinda annoying. @KnightmareFrame
This build is probably even better with Nautilus since he'll pull in dudes for you basically every few seconds with the right setup. And if you can spare 2 green shards it'll only get even better
A good meme vid for this would’ve been to use the new mortal kombat video of rain saying “rain will fall upon you like daggers from the sky” and just slap zephyrs face over his lol
Just mod zephyr for some range and duration and maybe some defensive stuff and then bring a solid primary and/or secondary with you and you will demolish steel path content. Zephyr is already an excellent low investment option, and better yet the payoff from investing more in to her is pretty significant.
I cool alternative build. I still prefer doing the same with gara while moving, which begs the question, how does it deal with many nullifiers running at you?
I don't believe they would nerf this interaction. Unless they review Hydroid's ability and nerf IT instead, as Zephyr's been good for a long while already.
Nado augment is wasted here in the reg nados the overgaurd enemies won't get lifted but dmg to nados will still hit them and sometimes enemies being pulled in will push the overgaurd dudes into it
I did some testing with precision intensify and the main source of damage is the barrage spam and not much your tornadoes, umbral intensify is better for this particular build
Nah im gonna go whine on forums as even though this doesnt affect me I love making things unnecessarily harder and unoptimized is my middle name ~Average forum whiner/Aoe hater.
I always loved Zephys kit! Underrated ! So the ability to create new builds in this game is just one reason Destiny2 sucks compared to Warframe. Sorry. Had to add that. 😂 I still have a Destiny2 grudge ever since Lightfall stole my money.
What if I want to put archon shards on this build and I am debating what would be better between green shards for more corrosive stacks + ability damage from corrosive status or plain red shards for ability damage? I don’t want to do all the testing since it requires to spend ressources to replace the shards and I don’t understand the math behind it
Yeah in the end green shards are busted so 2 greens for max armor strip, and 3 more greens for ability damage from corrosion… Power transfer will carry the casting speed and molt efficiency the duration since we have turbulence
Mmmm this build is a mess. Meaning, it's very not optimised. Instead of Overextended (4), constitution, transient fortitude, you can just have Stretch and Augur Reach. It gives you the same stats. You can then slot in any other mod, like Umbral intensify, primed flow, equilibrium if you don't have energize, or rolling guard.
i love zephyr, but no matter how many videos come out showing people are wrong about here...i still only see 1 zeph per 1000 boring saryn players who die 24/7
Ok, so... Right now you have a lot of ways to get energy, let me explain 1st the most Common: Zenurik Wellspring 2nd the most Expensive: Arcane Energize (i really dont rely on low refinement energize, only if you are running effic setups, then its fine) 3rd: Archon Stretch, basically a Stretch with a pasive that gives 2 energy per second after you apply Electric with a Skill, not that good by itself 4th: Grimoire with Xata's Invocation, Grants 1 Energy per second for 20s on Alt Fire With Max of 10 Stacks per Enemy Hit, Basically 10 Energy Per Second 5th: Energy Nexus: It grants 3 Energy per second without needing to do something 6th: Grendel's Helminth Skill - Nourish, with Strg build this thing boosts Everything up there 7th: Equilibrium Gives the ability to get Energy by taking Health Orbs and get Health by taking Energy Orbs 8th: Voruna's Helminth Skill - Lycanth Hunt + Equilibrium, The Ability Gives 100% Chance to get a Health Orb on Melee Kills (or you can Drop Equilibrium if you are the Pro Sniper, cause Headshot Kills have 100% Chance to drop an Energy Orbs) 9th: Dethcube's Augment - Energy Generator drops a Energy Orb every 10 Assists it makes 10th: Protea's Dispensary drops energy orbs, helth orbs and universal munition packs There's a Lot More like Parazon Mod the Gives Energy on Mercy Kills, and Gara's Spectrosiphon Augment too, Gauss produces Energy taking damage on Kinect Battery, Titania's Spellbing augment, Octavia's Inspiration passive, Also Only Arcane Energize, and Thing that Drop Orbs/Equilibrium works with channeled skills, like Ivara's Prowl... Banshee Soundquake... Every Exalted Weapon Skill: Excalibur, Ivara, Wukong, Mesa, Valkyr... (Idk if Merulina counts too)
Equallibrium.. is awesome for energy etc and your mods then if needed add energize.. ..😮 energize isn't always needed 😮😢😮.. if u can combine everything like nightmare u be sorted or even half what he dse .. I'd add energy max shards and casting speed and or tao strength shards etc .
@@RandoReelssdoubt itll get nerfed Frames like gyre exist where you 1 strip and destroy base steel path why would this be different given the intricate measures taken to get the result.
ah i see she's one of if not the best weapon platforms in the game and we just forgo that in this build this some over frame tier building right here what she dose is boost your crit and spread damage with no fall off she can make any weapon at least passable as a zeph player i know what her kit is capable of and this is not it
what build do u prefer then? i would like to build and test my zephyr but from 3-4 videos i have seen there was no build to my likeing. i prefer to focus on the 4 tbh but it should still shred steelpath easily
@@EclipX18 she's very weapon dependent like i said she's a weapons platform my favorite build with her is blast status atm and before the blast changes gas electric her 4 is the best part of her kit cuz of what it can do try the kuva sobek and acid shells with her and thank me later
@@aidanreid8409 that's the thing with Zephyr she can make anything at least passable so test stuff out she can work with most of the weapons in the game try her out with blast tho it's really strong

Appreciate the build video KnightmareFrame! Got me thinking about playing Zephyr again.
I saw dystopia do this a week ago...nice version of this :)
Just what I thought exactly..and he of course make it 12 minutes mark and dystopia?? Only few minutes, lol..
Started to Bookmark your new updated builds, so i can watch it again when i'm making a builds on my warframes
Just watch DE limit the amount of instances tempest barrage can have at any one moment 😢
Thanks for informing the Warframe boomers that a void sling is a void dash, I honestly had no idea what a void sling was since the operator rework lol

@@KnightmareFrame1 reason I don't look forward to changes, messes with my builds and polarities. Changing them messes my existing builds ughh.
@@KnightmareFramedoes strength really change anything in zephyr's skills? Honest question
great video as always if you want to see how powerful this build is Dystopia does this to level cap the video is titled " rain and tornado"
Asking DE not to nerf something is like asking the irs to not collect taxes.
Wow that titels rly gonna help
Finally showing Zepher some love.
P.S. You're hilarious, excellent Anime / Japanese samurai voice
this guys mood is so funny i love it
Soldiers with high tech weapons are dying to wind and water droplets i love this game and zephyr

Nice seeing you make videos still keep up good work myguy

Dailys and Mentlegen, the Typhoon build
Nightmareframe creates nightmares for DE
Hey Knightmare - Can you please direct your audience to a SP build that has a relatively low-ish entry cost? That seems to be where most hit a wall.
no

Zephyr is already an excellent low investment option, and better yet the payoff from investing more in to her is pretty significant.
Love your Japanese pronunciation. Rimuru Tempest would be proud
Not sure if this is possible, but can you do a Loki build...lol He's still my fav frame no matter how low tier he becomes.
Guess she's the storm that is approaching.
That's actually the best name for this build,lol. Typhoon Zephyr.
You once again...broke the game. Excellent!
@KnightmareFrame Bro!!!!! That all black fashionframe I needs please, lol.
Bro what are your frame colours??? they are gorgeous
you always make the most original and unique builds !!! i like them, keep up the good work Grind Hard Squad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@KnightmareFrame
warframe: if you like to play it, DE will change it.
Or you can max range and just shoot gas+electric anything into it and nuke everything. Way faster.
I cool alternative build. I still prefer doing the same with gara while moving, which begs the question, how does it deal with many nullifiers running at you?

Ya a gun is just better than an ability for primeing something with punch through the nataruk works real good get instant max stacks on merciless
Can you spare some of that top tier copium you smoking?
Lmao nightmare randomly turning into my Arab dad caught me off guard 😂
as an mr 5 this looks gamebreaking
it's not you can do way better for zeph honestly this is a terrible show case of what she can do and what she's capable of
it ain't funny enough , DE won't nerf
like octavia being the way she is for years xD
you are a mad genius 🦾
can this build be taken to level cap?
i use this build on citrin use your crestal then hydroid skill

Magus Lockdown and Magus Anomaly.
do you think tempest barrage will be good on nova ?
While the build is funny who in their right mind would wanna play like that with a game that has some of the best movement in gaming
Octavia players
How long have you been playing WF? Back in the day, farming was like this. In corners/dead ends and spamming abilities.
Guarantee DE has a dedicated staff member to track KnightmareFrame lol
Thermal sunder or nourish on zephyr 😁
Now im going to build hydroid just to let him get eaten.
If you like RSI gaming, this might be the build for you.
And I've been looking for some good synergy for zephyr too. 🔥
Zephyr has synergy with many things.
Surprised you don't run gas for the nuke. The interaction between gas and her tornadoes scale up fast.
please yell me more
I’m mad he didn’t explain more
That’s insane 😂
I definitely didn’t say bad zephyr
I mean yeah, good nuke, but what about that fashion?
Literally made this build 2 days ago lmao😂
Do Immortal Harrow next
i m new to the game or rather returning and have nooo idea what archons or arcanes are BUT... how do you get infinite energy?
Probably just Arcane Energize
Ok, so... Right now you have a lot of ways to get energy, let me explain
1st the most Common: Zenurik Wellspring
2nd the most Expensive: Arcane Energize (i really dont rely on low refinement energize, only if you are running effic setups, then its fine)
3rd: Archon Stretch, basically a Stretch with a pasive that gives 2 energy per second after you apply Electric with a Skill, not that good by itself
4th: Grimoire with Xata's Invocation, Grants 1 Energy per second for 20s on Alt Fire With Max of 10 Stacks per Enemy Hit, Basically 10 Energy Per Second
5th: Energy Nexus: It grants 3 Energy per second without needing to do something
6th: Grendel's Helminth Skill - Nourish, with Strg build this thing boosts Everything up there
7th: Equilibrium Gives the ability to get Energy by taking Health Orbs and get Health by taking Energy Orbs
8th: Voruna's Helminth Skill - Lycanth Hunt + Equilibrium, The Ability Gives 100% Chance to get a Health Orb on Melee Kills (or you can Drop Equilibrium if you are the Pro Sniper, cause Headshot Kills have 100% Chance to drop an Energy Orbs)
9th: Dethcube's Augment - Energy Generator drops a Energy Orb every 10 Assists it makes
10th: Protea's Dispensary drops energy orbs, helth orbs and universal munition packs
There's a Lot More like
Parazon Mod the Gives Energy on Mercy Kills,
and Gara's Spectrosiphon Augment too,
Gauss produces Energy taking damage on Kinect Battery,
Titania's Spellbing augment,
Octavia's Inspiration passive,
Also Only Arcane Energize, and Thing that Drop Orbs/Equilibrium works with channeled skills, like Ivara's Prowl... Banshee Soundquake... Every Exalted Weapon Skill: Excalibur, Ivara, Wukong, Mesa, Valkyr... (Idk if Merulina counts too)
