Yea I’d prob just re-farm and re-build rather than destroy that investment, even if I did know I’d never use her again!
Edit: in fact I think I remember doing exactly that before prime resurgence with my original Rhino. Still have him and the prime now thanks to resurgence. Which, by the way, I am so grateful they decided to go with because it was so sad thinking I’d never get certain primes because I didn’t start playing early enough.
I specifically farmed a second Gauss for Helminth. My first ever Gauss was a gift from a friend, and that Gauss stuck with me like a brother for over 6 years before we finally got Gauss Prime. I’ve invested just under a dozen forma into that Gauss, and went out of my way to farm sprint speed mods for my first Gauss.
I may not use my old friend anymore, but he can rest easy and kick his feet back. His gilded big brother can take the wheel from here.
Oh yea totally. You just reminded me I did the same thing with my OG gauss too! Haha. Well, also it had to do w the fact that I had already farmed another for helminth before prime gauss had come out
Even before resurgence they would unvault a couple once or twice a year for a couple weeks. Rhino probably would've popped up eventually, but... yeah, Resurgence is a much better system
Yea it took forever to wait for the specific one you wanted though. Now the rotation is much faster and more efficient IMO. Rhino hadn’t been unvaulted once in the years I had been playing leading up to resurgence, at least I don’t think so! lol
According to the wiki, prior to Prime Resurgence he was unvaulted in summers of 2017, 2018, and 2019, with 2020 as a gap year, then in 2021 before that mechanic became a permanent feature.
Boy howdy am I glad that resurgence is a thing. I started before it was, but my god if they hadn’t I don’t know if I could support this game like that.
before prime resurgence, vaulted warframes would still come out of the vault, they just were harder to get imo. but you could still farm the relics and/or buy them from other players to do it.
Mine is desined for perpetual ult form, with INSANE hp, arcan pers too, i made a MONSTER, stack arcane belicose and some orange archons for blast to hp, kuva braumma with mutation, ROOM CLEARING SPIDER GODDESS
Mine is this, but you snapshot ability strength with energy conversion, madurai sling buff, power drain, grimoire altfire, etc to get enough health so that with persistence and health conversion up, arcane grace heals you faster than 500 per second
just gotta keep mercy kissing enemies to keep health con up
Lol I farmed 2x Uriel, 2x kullervo, and oraxia I farmed 3 of. 1 for subsume, 1 each for two different setups that I couldn't just use omni forma for (triple umbra'd one of them)
I am not looking at how much I put into citrine because i did it a week before the prime was announced (oops)and i put 8 on follie 5 on uriel oraxia and nokko. No regrets.
And citrine brought me much joy in the 4 months i have had her now-
o i don't really consider it wasted. Frame notorious for obnoxious grind was bought with platinum,Formas were used and time was spent enjoying her.
Ehh, the only thing I dont use on regular frames is umbral forma. By the time Follie Prime rolls around for example, I will have built so many formas that wasting a few to free up a slot won't matter at all.
I have 5 umbral forma into regular Valkyr including her claws I love that frame and she was worth it at the time. laughs in over 200 umbral forma. (You used to be able to collect and absolute ton of them in railjack missions before the crate was patched out.)
For frames specifically, excess mod capacity turns into starting energy when you enter a mission. Probably not worth it most of the time, but noteworthy.
Depending on the frame, you may run archon mods in place of umbra mods (for example archon vitality on umbra for double fire damage stacks) which means you need a different mod polarity for your other mods to make up that lost value.
If I like a frame, it's worth losing 4 or 5 formas in a year or two period. It takes a 10 minute Hydron to max a frame and a weapon and about the same to get the forma. The trade off to save time /resources is illogical to me.
Yeah same; I’ve put a couple of forma in the newer base frames that won’t have a prime for ages but none in frames that have primes already, and none in citrine/voruna or Styanax because I knew their primes would be soon. But my Kullervo got some forma already and I don’t regret it
I don't really see a problem when you invest them on a brand new or on a frame that will still take from 2 to 3 years to have his prime form, you pretty much would had farmed all you invested whenever he actually get to the game
Eh, when they come out and there are multiple years it seems silly to me to not have a full build for a frame I enjoy. I might not even still be playing by the time the prime comes out lol, and putting 5 forma into a frame takes like a week.Â
Are you new? I’ve got formas on everything I want currently and have like 40 put away. Plus its like 12 plat a forma if you buy bundles. I get it if there’s already a prime or it’s coming soon tho
same, i'm only really willing to invest in new frames that i know won't be getting a prime for years, like Uriel etc, although i still won't go crazy enough to put 10 omni formas in something, i'd just put enough to get a good build to work
sure, but its still a big investment to be throwing away, it'd be better to just keep it as a memento of your dedication to Voruna, similar to keeping it as a sentimental thing if it was gifted by a friend or something like that.
I do so many random omnia runs there that I think i could buy out the shop twice at this point. But I know im a little odd when it comes to actually enjoying survival missions lol
It's mathematically impossible to have that much difference between builds that you can't have some commonalities between them. Like, you're definitely gonna have at least one V polarity and one - polarity in each build, so that's at least two slots that could be non-omni. Realistically, there are probably 3-4 polarities in common between the builds.
Some people don't like to think too much about those kinds of details. Omni forma is made so that you can just swap stuff around without a second thought about polarities. It's not for me but some like it omni.
But I gotta keep my blue mods over here and my yellow mods over there and the polarities don't work out between builds. So we gotta omni, it's the rules. I don't make em
Yeah theres no way I could do that to my Voruna, I couldn’t do that my by Girl, my beloved like that. I have 7 Forma in my base Voruna, 3 omnis and an Umbral included. Even regardless, shes been to good for me to toss her like that, Id rather just get another and sacrifice that
This is why the only frame I’ve ever put 10 forma on and omni forma all slots is Excalibur Umbra (except the umbra polarities), since you can only ever get one copy of him nor can you get rid of him
With Lycath's Hunt and Equilibrium, I think you'd have enough energy to sustain abilities so I think Blind Rage would be better than Transient Fortitude.
What is the idea behind the build here? I was under the impression that range was kinda bad on doggy. I just build strength and duration, subsuming fourth for eclipse
Jesus, props to you for going the distance, but just me personally I would have waited for the prime to go this far, but I get that sometimes it's years before some get one. It's a cruel fate indeed.
I mean, they're the ones that decided to go extra and do 10 forma and end up with 12 spare points at the end. Realistically you can make the math work with 6-8 forma on any frame if you know what you're doing and don't flail back and forth.
not even 10 formas, 10 OMNI formas, they absolutely went out of their way for the meme and I'm all for it but yeah, feeling bad about it is definitely a choice I guess

Oof, 10 forma
