BTW, one thing I forgot to do before posting the video was fact check 5600 armor giving 95% damage reduction. Ik it's been said for a decade now that 2700 armor gives 90%, and that is true, but with the 95%, I've seen multiple people say both 5600 and 5700. I'm not a math person, so I asked an individual from reddit and apparently It's actually 5700, so the Inaros build, with everything stacked, has 5656 armor, which is just a lil off from that.
I saw 4000 hours and said damn, that's a lot, then I checked how much time I played, and I never realized I had 224 days (5376 hours) played 😅 lol, though I've been playing since the game released. Yeah, there are a lot of things I found out while making the video, Warframe has hidden mechanics and information that the game doesn't even tell you, unlike the Wiki, but thanks.
Ha, it's just the Xbox Series X itself and a very cheap 4k monitor with Warframe's in-game particles setting set to ludicrous as well as all the other visual options set for better visual aspects and details, surprisingly the performance never seems to studder, at least not when I play alone. I do need to get a better audio setup though, I've just been using the standard speakers inside the monitor, which we all know those monitor speakers always sound terrible lol.
I actually have an Ash prime dedicated to health tanking with Gloom and one with Null star and they can face tank up to level 300 with just those abilites. And the invis is just a get out of jail free card. I also tried parasitic armor but it’s not nearly as effective as null star and gloom. Ash is a very surprising tank!
Nice, and Parasitic Armor on Hildryn is nuts, with high shields and strength she gets well over 29700 armor, which is 99% DMG Reduction just from that.
I'm actually currently in the process of making a Chroma build to see if it can reach level cap. Again, with aerial DR mods, many frames can do this pretty easily, but I wanna see if it can be done without them for some other tanky frames.
I'm kind of curious, why Null Star and not Eclipse? Don't you get a better result having the ability permanently on you (Eclipse) without having your DR reducing over time? (Null Star)
If you're using negative range then Null Star lasts a bit longer than the standard 25s Eclipse while actively fighting with melee as you'll be killing and moving since NS only launches to 1 enemy at a time every 1 second, so particles won't seek as much, especially if you're using a slam melee build which you dont need to be up close to kill. It generally lasts between 30-45 seconds for me. On the flip side, Eclipse will obviously simply count down until it deactivates since you can't halt the duration, so it conserves energy with the former. Eclipse is always better if you're not doing negative range and especially if you simply add duration to your build for Eclipse; otherwise, negative range + NS can actually last indefinitely if you're using ranged weapons instead of melee, since you won't be in range for the particles to seek at all, this also works best with the aerial health tank build using aerial DR mods, you can stay in the air, tank the damage, and never have to recast Null Star maybe until like Violence acolyte comes and disables your abilities. Also I was running Narrow Minded on Nidus until I realized I needed Rolling Guard and since I changed to RG I was gonna swap to Eclipse as I stated in the video, but with 375 STR, NS lasted a very long time because I only needed 6 particles to reach 75% DMG Reduction, and I had 23 particles with 199 DUR, so I only needed to recast once it got down to 5 particles, it just depends on what one prefers.
The orange tauforged archon shards give up to 450 HP on blast kills. Atlas doesn't have enough HP, nor does he have status immunity to go to level cap, but yes you can use the build on Atlas in base star chart. He only gets bonus armor from the rubble he gets, and that's not enough for level cap. I've even failed going to level cap twice with Qorvex with 5600 armor (95% DR) and 4000+ HP, one would think it'd be similar to Inaros with Qorvex, but for some odd reason it's not even though they both have status immunity and high health. Oh, and when you say 2700 HP, did you mean armor? 2700 armor is what gives 90% DR, and my Trinity/Baruuk both have around 2000 health. Health Conversion mod gives up to 1350 armor on health orb pickups, and Arcane Guardian gives 900 armor while being attacked, which paired with the modded armor, they both get over 2700.
I was just wondering why haruuk's hp is so abnormal. I don't use the orange shard very often and this video helped me understand it a lot. Thank you very much. For qorvex, it needs some augment mods to make it better because I hardly use this warframe.
Because everyone is and was wrong, they've all been saying this for years, from Reddit posts to the wiki, to forums, to every streaming platform and so on, but it's clear nobody (at least not a major WF RUclipsr that has influence) actually tested if you could or couldn't health tank level cap, and this could be done before Arcane Double Back was added to the game, ADB is only a priority for Inaros, the other frames I showed can tank without it just fine. But people in the community all just regurgitated the same lie for years even after TheKengineer made a video 3 years ago explaining damage reduction and how much an individual could theoretically get. That's why I made the video, but of course, I'm not a big WF RUclips channel, so the only people who will know are the people who watch this vid and whoever else has also tested this and found this out before me if there are any, which will most likely also be a small RUclips channel or just someone who doesn't make content at all.
@@ghostaga Many such cases. Most players in games are idiots. I play most stuff solo in games because it's literally a detriment to have randos. Good channel and video. Harder to find people who can actually build.
@@ghostaga Out of all people, besides Keenginer and NashPrime, your content is one that genuinely caught me. I'm interested in seeing what else you bring to the table, being something like this, or something fun you like to do. Good video
I've reached enemy level 3000-4000 with a health tank Excalibur a while ago, that was before I knew what I know now, and before Arcane Double Back was added to the game, I could revisit him at some point. With aerial mods, he might be able to reach level 9999, but It would have to be tested because he doesn't have an innate DR ability compared to a frame like Ember.
@@goboyghost Yes, Null Star and Eclipse, but again, he doesn't have an innate DR ability on him like Ember, Gara, etc. So he'd only have Eclipse, 2700 armor, Arcane DB, and Adaptation. Even with aerial DR mods, I doubt that's enough unless the frame can reach 5700 armor. Both Qorvex and Chroma don't have a DR ability, but they can reach 95% DR from their armor, so they can do it with aerial DR mods for sure.
@@ghostaga what's the highest health I can get on Excalibur. In your vid I see you rocking anywhere from 3-21k health How do I stack health on excal. He doesn't even have 1k health
@@goboyghost it's probably around 5000 HP if you invest solely in health on Excalibur Umbra, but personally, for me, it's mandatory to have at least 2000 health specifically for a health tank level cap build as that's a good threshold in case I don't have Adaptation or something else stacked and I get hit with a hard attack then I won't die. Inaros and Nidus are different since they have significantly higher health than everyone else.

I didn’t know what to expect coming into this video, but I’m leaving happy that I came. Very high quality content, I’m a sub now
Glad to hear it!
I've been trying to prevent myself from memeing on inaros and you've just undid all that work! Now I want to play him.
High quality content from a small creator?? This is amazing, love your builds, love your presentation! Hope you make it big some day :D
Thank you so much!
thanks for this in depth guide brodie - helps me out as a person who plays just slightly more than casually
No problem, glad it helped!
great video, loaded with critical information and simple to understand words, I have 4000 hours in game and I couldn't explain game like this good. 👍

@ghostaga yeah, folks who play regularly accumulated a lot of time and don't even realise.
nice video, good builds
totally stilling Nidus for myself
Glad you liked it!
Frankly, even just the high quality record made me watch. Don't know the setup, but Damn! It is nice.

legit needed this as we speak, will be using some of these builds tomorrow!
really good video !

You think you can show off a chroma build with a similar set up? I’m sick of using him for PT

@ oh hell yeah! I have the bell on for whenever it drops 😎😎
Can you use other melee that I think you are running a healing return electric melee influence? What guns would you use if you used guns? Thank you

Hi, I want to ask you for some tips for wukong
I've never played Wukong, so unfortunately can't help you there lol, unless it's general tips.
i just got 547 but need like a week to get arcane amp adapter
Yeah it's solid for single target, but really good at AoE especially paired with Unairu wisp. It can kill the zariman angel pretty easily as well.
Nidus: 4 + spam 1
Wait, if you can actually health tank on lvl cap, why's everyone saying that it doesn't work? You clearly showed that it IS possible to do so
