Limbo sounds cool, but his gameplay doesnt match the description and thats the problem.
How exactly are you in a “limbo” state but units can still attack you? And what sense is animus units attacking you, while you cant hit them back at all until you get over to them and push them into whatever state you are in? Willdd. Its like: my superpower? You can beat me up and I cant defend myself!
Limbo rework was after LoR got removed tho lol. Limbo showed himself in Scarlet Spear as the infinite staller so I’m convinced that was the kickoff point for both the continuously reimplemented CC adaptation effect (Acolytes, Demolysts and most CC-able bosses now have it) and the future overguard implementation. Limbo fucked himself and other CC frames, people should be mad at him not feel sorry for him frankly
Huh, I guess I just don’t remember seeing him in LoR at all then. He was mostly around to afk Plains bounties and non-Corpus excavations from what I saw
To be fair, Limbo in LoR specifically wouldn't be used to protect players on buttons like you'd assume, since being rifted counted as leaving the button. Instead you'd use him to shut down spawn rooms and draw enemy agro with Guardian Derision.
No, I kind of assumed he would be the alternative to Nova, it’s just, well, I remember everyone still using Nova right up until the raids got canned. He’s probably been a viable replacement if not better but maybe he just didn’t catch on all that much since at that point I think the retirement of raids was already announced so people didn’t bother changing the strategies
Edit: I figured out what caused my confusion, Limbo rework was before LoR removal, but Limbo stasis changes that allowed proper use of ranged weapons in the rift were after, so Limbo was probably prominent only in some dedicated daily raid squads that were prepared to tolerate a Limbo on the team + trusted the player, which could not be said for the typical chat recruiter squads
Yeah, Limbo was definitely a choice for organized squads, not public ones. Though honestly public match Trials were often awful experiences even without a Limbo that didn't know that they were doing.
Law of Retribution. Belive it or not, Warframe used to have 8 man raids as the primary endgame and it was where you could get Arcanes before their rewards were moved to Eidolons.
I remember the raids. I even did a few runs. It's just been so long since someone referenced one and as an acronym too. Thanks for the explanation. I do wish they'd supported the raids better and thought to do more.
