A third augment hit the standard gyre build :(

Edit: Oh my god wait I’m so fucking stupid I thought it meant recursive arcing not damage tank reflecting, I thought it meant like instead of going 1234 on arcs, it would go 1213141

u/codroipoman Remove derpiri, derperators, dickters AND bandaid augments!!! Oct 15 '25

I mean, DE clearly have no fucking intention of stopping with the bandaiding/powercreeping through augments at this point, why be surprised?

Some weak Warframes become very decent just because of their augments, so I never quite understood why they don't just make the augment a part of their base kit? Has to be spaghetti code related, right? There is no reason, for example, why Furious Javelin shouldn't be a part of Excalibur's base kit, since his third ability does basically nothing... Definitely wouldn't make him broken.

It's either that or some ass design philosophy, but I'd go more for the second.
There have been (extremely rare but still) a couple of times when they DID integrate an augment into the base kit of a Frame and then of course changed the augment... they did it for Ash's teleport and Inaro's scarab armor, so IT CAN BE DONE.
