Loadouts: 100% Armour Strip Saryn (U35.0.6)

U35: Whispers in the Walls brought with it a new set of Archon Shards, this time offering the ability to combine the three existing Shards (Amber, Azure, Crimson) into three new types of Shards (Emerald, Topaz, Violet) with their own set of effects.

Emerald interacts with Toxin and Corrosive damage and procs, making them ideal for Saryn. In particular, one of the potential effects is to increase the maximum number of Corrosive procs on enemies (normally 10), which at +4 max procs allows Corrosive to once again completely remove enemy armour. On Saryn, who spreads Corrosive procs everywhere with her Spores (1), this is a massive power boost against armoured enemies.

Loadouts: Map Clearer Saryn (U34.0.5)

Saryn has always been my go-to frame for clearing large numbers of enemies, particularly high-density missions like Defence and Sanctuary Onslaught. I thought it worth sharing my setup for clearing these missions, effective up to roughly level 100 (non-Steel Path).

Loadouts: Steel Path Shooting Gallery Saryn (U32.3.7)

Shooting Gallery is Mesa's Helminth subsumable Ability, offering a short stun and small weapon buff. These effects are unexceptional on their own, however where it really shines is its Augment Muzzle Flash, which offers a free periodic Radial Blind just from achieving 6 kills/kill assists with Shooting Gallery active. On a Frame that excels at damaging and killing a wide range of enemies like Saryn, this is effectively a constant Radial Blind that renders all non-immune enemies within range completely helpless.

Loadouts: Profit-Taker Orb Saryn (U30.6.1)

It's been a while since my previous post about Profit-Taker, a time before the Helminth Segment existed, before I even had a good Exodia Contagion Melee. Much has changed since then, with significant impact on the PT meta.

Loadouts: Steel Path Saryn (U29.9.1)

In a majority of content, and particularly in (Elite) Sanctuary Onslaught, Saryn is renowned for her ability to wipe out massive numbers of enemies with ease. The drastically increased tankiness of Steel Path enemies greatly reduces the speed at which her abilities will map-clear, however she can easily be adjusted to be fearsome weapon-buffing platform.

Prime Unvaulting: Saryn + Valkyr (2019)

The latest Prime Unvaulting has been announced, and it will consist of Saryn and Valkyr Primes. It will open on September 3rd, 2019.

Event: Warframe's 6th Anniversary Part 1- Weekend Wars

Warframe's 6th anniversary is approaching, and DE has announced a set of special Alerts and Bonus Weekends to coincide with it, alongside the usual Dex items being made available afterwards (which I'll cover in a later post).

Review: Saryn (Prime) (U24.1.1)

Saryn is a toxin-themed Warframe who was released way back in U7, and has received several reworks since. Saryn Prime was released alongside Spira and Nikana Primes in U18.4.12. As she is currently, Saryn is a surprisingly survivable and quite powerful AoE Warframe who excels at destroying rooms of enemies.

Note: This is I believe the third version of Saryn, having already seen a rework before her more recent one. I have only experienced the second and third versions, and both work very differently.
