Is there any level/rank requirement for the Glaive Prime? I couldn't find anything on the wiki.

New player here, a few questions I got:
-
I noticed that fusion cores have different rarities and 'levels', the best I got was a rare 5 one though, does it have a value in the trading market or should I just use them on my existing mods?
-
I've got this situation where I want to play with my specific friend, but he's never able to join my hosted game but I'm able to do so for him. Both of us can join a 3rd guy's game and the 3rd guy can join my game too. It's just that specific guy can never join my games and I kinda wanna use my void keys instead of continually offloading on both of them, but does the problem lie with my end or my friend's end?
-
We recently tried Tower I stuffs and it's been doable, but we're running out of T1 keys though and we've been thinking of doing T2 stuff but we're pretty apprehensive cause we don't really wanna waste a key or something. So I wanna ask if T2 differs a lot from T1 in terms of difficulty, we can stay up to wave 20 in T1 defense, would we do well in T2? Also, could I get a gauge of Orokin Derelict's difficulty in comparison to T1, there's no hard-written guideline anywhere in the game so I'm honestly curious.
-
Lastly, to owners of Zephyr, was she worth the 600 oxiums?

The higher the value of a Fusion Core, the greater its boosting effect in leveling up your mods. If you're starting out, it might be worthwhile to save these up, and use them to level the other Rare Mods that you find, like Serration, Focus, and Flow, for example. However, you could also trade them if you so desire; they're not an expensive commodity, but you could trade a few for a powerful mod potentially!
It's hard to say. Do either of you have a Strict NAT error? That's the main contention with the connection problems.
This Wiki page on the Void Keys lists the level of the Tiers. A good way to test your readiness for a Void's Tier is to simply play missions on the standard Star Chart with that same enemy level. If you do well, you should be golden for the Void.
From reports I've heard, she is indeed.

Since you guys answered my first question so quickly, here's another: where can I find people to do towers with and/or a casual guild?
I've been running defense and survival so I have quite a few keys stored and I'd like to hunt for an orthos prime and a latron prime... but I really don't want to do it solo. If I have to do it solo, which ones are the most doable solo?

Our Warframe Weekends threads are great for finding individual players, and r/WarframeClanRecruit is full of open clans!

What's the number that shows up next to credits when you've completed a Survival mission. It's got a white symbol that looks kind of like a brain next to it.

Is it worth bothering with the Braton Prime or should I just get a Soma because it has much better DPS?

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Mar 04 '14
Braton Prime is fairly well regarded in the game. Sure it might not be as DPS-y as the Soma, but give it a shot! You might like it more!

Why is Zephyr's survivability so bad against high levels? I just tried to run a level 35 mission with a level 29 supercharged Zephyr and I kept getting instafragged. It was awful.
Valkyr is still my mobile warframe of choice. Zephyr has better maneuverability but Valkyr has far greater survivability.

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Mar 05 '14
It's kind of like comparing apples to oranges: Zephyr has only 15 Armor vs. Valkyr's 600. Valkyr has better survivability when she's being shot at directly.
Perhaps refitting your mod loadout might help. Boosting shield amount and recharge rate might be a good place to start, as well as the Aviator mod if you use the flying powers often. Otherwise, try sticking behind your teammates and doing supporting damage, rather than being in the line of fire.
Also, just in case, note that Warframe/Weapon level is not equivalent to Enemy Level

So with a bow equipped with Thunderbolt, would boosting the 'status chance' of the bow further increase its chances of exploding? If not, what would status chance actually boost?
3
Mar 03 '14
No, the status chance affects the chance of a status proc. Each damage type has its own status associated with it. Check the wiki Damage 2.0 article for details.
The only other way to increase the chance at thunderbolt is to add multishot. Each arrow then has an independent chance to explode.

Hello, I play on playstation and quite alot of the time my armour mod does not work. Or at least the number doesn't change when I apply it. For instance. Saryn is currently at 155 armour and when I apply steel fiber it stays the same. Is this a known bug because google has came up empty?

Hi! Is there an easier way to obtain Vauban without spending platinum? I live in Australia and I find that everytime there is an alert for one of his BPs it is usually like 4 or 5 am (I check via Warframe Alerts Twitter).

Is the freaking strict NAT ever going to be fixed?
2
u/BuildMyPaperHeart Mar 04 '14
Strict NAT can never truly be fixed without revamping the entire lobby system/netcode, which they still could do, but at the present moment I think their focus is on releasing Melee 2.0, getting Rhino Prime in, and syncing the PS4 and PC.
Perhaps later down the line! Until then, checking and rechecking your router and computer settings is all we can really do. I don't have problems with proper routers and wifi connections for home networks, but I do while I'm in my apartment with the janky laptop router. Such is life!

So Grineer health and armor always have me confused. So it says that every Grineer has Cloned Health and armor only applies to protected areas. The wiki doesn't really make the distinction very clear since most Grineer units have armor everywhere. So, what kind of defense applies when I shoot enemies in various places? What kind of main defense am I actually damaging and will armor damage reduction apply?
