Review: Coda Bassocyst (U39.0.5)

The Coda Bassocyst is an MR17 Shotgun, one of the few Coda weapons that is brand new rather than an upgraded variant. With a powerful wave-like Primary Fire, and an unusual Mercy-kill-focused Alt Fire, it is a potent, unique and versatile weapon, absolutely worthy of your investment.

Review: EFV-5 Jupiter (U38.5.11)

The EFV-5 Jupiter is a new two-mode MR12 Rifle. With a conventional primary Full-Auto and a powerful-but-slow charge up Alt Fire, this Scaldra weapon is fairly effective in most content, though struggles to carve out a notable niche in today's insane meta.

U38.5: Exalted Weapon Arcanes (Titania and Jade) (U38.5.2)

Amongst the many, many things brought in U38.5: Techrot Encore, Exalted Weapons were granted access to their respective Weapon Arcanes, as well as the "Acolyte" conditional/combo mods. While a full article discussing every Exalted is far beyond my expertise, I thought it worth at least doing a post for my two most-used Exalted Warframes - Titania and Jade.

Review: Reconifex (U38.0.12)

The Reconifex is a new(ish) Full-Auto Rifle, dropped in U38: 1999. Cyte-09's signature weapon, it sports a perfect-reload mechanic that both drastically shortens its Reload Time, and provides guaranteed Heat damage and procs.

Review: Jade (U38.0.9)

Jade is a not-so-new Warframe introduced in U36: Jade Shadows. A Seraphim-themed Frame, she possesses a wide range of both offensive and defensive Abilities.

With the combination of a powerful flight mode and wide range of skills otherwise, she has quickly become one of my favourite Warframes.

Secondary Enervate - Use Cases and Comparisons (U38.0.5)

U38: Warframe 1999 brought a great deal of content, including but not limited to yet more Arcanes. Providing a unique flat Crit Chance bonus effect, Secondary Enervate was immediately singled out for the already powerful and popular Kuva Nukor. I wanted to take a deeper dive and figure out what other weapons also benefit and can make good use of it.

Review: Higasa (U37.0.11)

The Higasa is an MR2 Burst Fire Rifle. Koumei's signature Primary, it features a 5-round Burst Fire, a powerful charge attack that charges from kills, and a unique shield while aiming. Intended as an early-game weapon, it compares favourably with many of the weapons a newer player can access, but falls off against higher-tier weapons.

Review: Sybaris Incarnon (U37.0.8)

The Sybaris Incarnon Genesis Adapter is a new addition in U37 Koumei, alongside several other new Incarnon adapters. The Sybaris being an old but obsolete favourite of mine, I was very keen to get this one, and I am quite pleased with the results.

NOTE: I installed the Genesis Adapter on a Sybaris Prime.

Review: Epitaph Prime (U37.0.3)

The Epitaph Prime is an MR14 Secondary. Sevagoth Prime's signature weapon, it possesses two very distinct firing modes that combine for one highly versatile weapon. Uncharged Shots fire weak projectiles that explode in a large range, ideal for spreading Status procs amongst groups of enemies. Charged Shots fire powerful projectiles dealing massive damage to single targets.

Review: AX-52 (U36.0.8)

The AX-52 is a new MR12 Primary, which will look very familiar to many of you. A Full-Auto Rifle, it is a solid weapon with a few interesting gimmicks to distinguish itself, but faces immense competition in an extremely stacked category.

Review: Evensong (U36.0.4)

The Evensong is a new MR10 Bow. Jade's signature Primary, it possesses a small AoE and special effects that make it a unique support weapon with usable kill power.

U36: Jade Shadows - Cannonade Mods

DE did a whole lot with U36: Jade Shadows. One of the minor elements introduced is the set of Cannonade mods, for Semi-Auto weapons only.

It is worth mentioning that U36: Jade Shadows gave all Semi-Auto and Burst-Fire weapons an accessibility option for an automatic trigger.

Review: Tenet Glaxion (U35.6.1)

The Tenet Glaxion is an MR16 Beam Rifle. With further increased stats over its other variants as well as a chaining mechanic, it is a very potent and versatile weapon, capable of holding its own in the vast majority of Warframe's content.

Review: Velox Prime (U35.5.11)

The Velox Prime is an MR13 Full-Auto Secondary. Protea Prime's signature Secondary, it is a Status-leaning weapon that notably has innate Ammo Efficiency. A largely conventional weapon, it is solid but not outstanding in a game full of absolutely bonkers weapons.

Review: Akarius Prime (U35.5.3)

The MR14 Akarius Prime is an explosive Dual Secondary. Gauss Prime's signature Secondary, it Burst-Fires homing missiles that excel at dealing damage and spreading Status procs in a huge range. Low Ammo Max is its main limiting weakness, and can be effectively built and played around.

Review: Acceltra Prime (U35.0.11)

The Acceltra Prime is an MR14 Full-Auto explosive Rifle. Gauss Prime's signature Primary, it excels at clearing through groups of enemies, and its major Status Chance increase also allows it to spread Status procs much more reliably. However, it is still curtailed by its very low Ammo Max, and can be awkward to use in close quarters due to its minimum arming distance.

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.

Review: Zylok Prime (U34.0.8)

The Zylok Prime is an MR13 Duplex Secondary. Grendel Prime's signature pistol, it is a slow-firing, Slash-focused weapon that is a significant improvement over its base form. Even so, it struggles to carve out a notable niche in a sea of unfathomably powerful weapons.

NOTE: This review does not take into consideration the Zylok Incarnon Genesis Adapter.

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: Boss Hunter Titania (U33.6.9)

I use Titania for most mission types, including Assassinations for which she generally excels. Many assassinations are simple - get to the boss, kill the boss, and get to extraction. I've crafted this loadout to be even more effective in this role than my usual Titania setups.
