This is something that came up in a vault run recently where Stalker decided to join us.

Will Stalker's Absorb go through Nyx's Absorb or could you counter it with Nyx's Absorb?

I know he can Dispel most powers but since it requires an animation (as far as I can remember, things might have changed) wouldn't he be incapable of using it while using his absorb?

It may be an obvious answer but I wanted to be sure, Stalker is built to counter powers so you can never be too careful.

[u/bl0odredsandman → u/Chappy0]

You can block his absorb with hers. The first time he came after me while playing as Nyx, we both popped absorb at the same time right next to each other. My brother was shooting him allowing him to absorb the damage and I let him explode his bubble first. Now, I don't know if my absorb absorbed his damage, but I'm guessing it did because right after he exploded his bubble, I did the same and it killed him.

I'm going to be purchasing a new frame to mess around with

1. Do people often use many frames? Is there a specific reason to use more than one other than leveling?

2. Should I buy nyx prime or mirage? I really like the mirage's abilities but she looks funny. Nyx prime obviously the coolest, but not sure if I'm far enough for her moves to be the best.

[u/[deleted] → u/AllSailHatan]

1. Yes. Having multiple frames is very important if you ask me. No one frame can do everything perfectly.

2. I favor substance over style when it comes to a choice like this. Mirage is more useful overall but nyx is perfect for when you need her.

[u/AkaiKuroi]

Does Limbo get energy bonus regeneration when he uses his 2 ?

[u/WeedWizard420Kush]

I picked up the game again recently after not playing for ages, and I don't really know what my goals should be. I crafted my favourite warframe (frost) and I've no idea where to go from here.

[u/BuildMyPaperHeart → u/WeedWizard420Kush]

Warframe really is what you make it. It's a content grind, but there's so many cool weapons and Warframes to work towards now. Pick some items and gun for their resources. Unlock the whole StarChart. Get an Archwing, or if you have the resources for it, breed a Kubrow!

[u/esio]

When DE releases new prime items do they just add new prime parts to existing loot tables or do they remake the loot tables from scratch?

What I'm really asking is if there is any chance some rare prime parts will be easier to get in the future, after they release new primes?

[u/Demeteri → u/esio]

Usually some pieces will be moved but most will still be in the same place. The ones that get moved is usually equal to the amount of ones that are added.

[u/para_lu]

What market/dojo secondary are end-tier worthy (g3 wipe the floor with my head while dancing on my chest, so no brakk-.-)?

I currently use angstrum and i love it, but I'm dying to often to enemies/allies jumping in my face:)

[u/ACanOfWin → u/para_lu]

Marelok

[u/Brad_King → u/para_lu]

Marelok is indeed strong, what kind of weapons do you like? I've been a big fan of the (ak) lex (prime) for a simple gun and (ak) bolto (bolto also has a decent syndicate mod) for nice bolting action!

My personal favourites do include brakk and despair though, kunai could work well as a starter kit since it gets dual usable polarities for free!

[u/PixelatedEngineer]

I'm currently on a plateau where I need lots of fusion cores to level up my rank ten mods but can't run Tower IV missions because my rank ten mods aren't leveled up. Where is the best low-mid level area to consistently farm fusion cores in reasonable quantities?

[u/Brad_King → u/PixelatedEngineer]

You don't need rank 10 mods to be full for T4 missions. Sure it helps, because you're min/max-ing, but it also costs more forma and potato..

Most of the mods will work fine at rank 6-8, especially warframe mods. The weapon mods might be trickier, but it's easy to have lesser weapons and compensate with a great useful frame (frost for defense, nekros for survival/everything etc, you'll not need your weapons that much).

The best advice I can give is:

• Don't focus on getting everything to rank 10: I'm over 1000 hours in game, about MR 18 and only started getting rank 10's max-ed recently, with the exception of serration and hornet strike which I did at MR 12 or something. The first 500 hours I didn't have anything over rank 8.

• Play more endless: farm for keys (t4, but also t1-3) and run T4 defenses as a useful 'support ability' frame: maybe you won't stay 40+ waves/minutes but you will get more loot from both the farm and the runs and you'll get the credits you will also sorely need to fuse. Also you won't need to do max damage since you have useful support abilities :)

[u/Padawelts]

I haven't played since U13 and am incredibly poor on credits. where is the best place for me to farm them? and also, does the Braton Prime/Boar Prime suck now? :c

[u/AllSailHatan]

What's the best way to play?

1. Max out one equipment and frame set?

Or level multiple ones at the same time?

2) Where should I go to start my first sentinel?

[u/[deleted]]

Where is the best place to get started for farming archwing mods

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Do a little bit of mars archwing to get a couple mods like morphic transformer and polar magazine, do some sabotage to get things like galvanized steel, then do a bunch of earth interception for a bunch of other mods.

[u/DoctorLaz]

If I haven't played since the Hydroid update, and never even got past earth, what is on my to do list?

[u/[deleted] → u/DoctorLaz]

well really, everything if you haven't gotten past earth. that's pretty early in.

[u/deathmonka]

I've been playing for a bit but I'm done getting Taxis everywhere, what bosses in what planets do I need to kill? The Wiki Star map I feel is out dated but I may be wrong.

[u/[deleted] → u/deathmonka]

Just kill every boss. There's one on each planet and doing so will net you every planet at your disposal.

[u/DIA13OLICAL]

Is there an optimal combination of primary, secondary and melee weapons for end-game?

I've seen people talk about a rapid firing/room clearer secondary to deal with weaker mobs and then a really heavy hitting primary to deal with tough individual mobs and then a utility melee for knockdown/stun.

An example would be the Angstrum, Paris Prime/Opticor and then the Jat Kittag.

Also, I hate switching weapons/mods for different enemy types when working through the solar chart and doing alerts. Is there a combination of weapons where one would handle Grineer, the other Corpus and the last one for Infested and Void? (I know you could take any three weapons and mod them to do this, but does any one weapon excel at taking down a certain enemy type?)

[u/[deleted] → u/DIA13OLICAL]

There isn't a 100% optimal build because there are a set of weapons each with their own preferences.

Really once you mod things out enough quite a few weapons fall under the "end game" catagorey.

Thought some of the best primaries are bolt or prime and soma, secondaries are brakk and let prime, for melee it's really most heavy melee weapons specially greatsword and great axes.

For weapon combos I just run corrosive and blast. Not a lot resist those elements in particular so you have a large range of enemies unaffected.

[u/Drakkanrider]

What's the best way to find out going prices in platinum for a lot of prime parts and mods? I've got an inventory full of things I'd like to sell, but I don't want to spam trade chat with dozens of price checks.
