Trinity

Casual Goblin

Overview: The healer – no other frame has the restorative power of Trinity and if you only care about ‘support’ abilities, this helpful vampire is probably the frame for you. Parts can be obtained from Ambulas in Hades, Pluto.

Special: Trinity can revive downed allies 20% faster, and at a greater distance. Pros: Massive support potential, restoring energy/health/shields and providing consistent damage reduction to herself and allies. Cons: … Continue reading Trinity

Valkyr

Casual Goblin

Overview: A traumatised berserker recovered from Alad V on Jupiter, Valkyr vents her madness on any foe foolish enough to get close. Prime: Valkyr prime is currently vaulted, meaning that you’ll need to ask friends and clanmates for relics, keep an eye on the trade channel or wait for an unvaulting event. Special: Recover from knockdowns 50% faster and doesn’t trigger hard landings after a long drop – a nice little quality-of-life passive, but not anything special. Pros: Very high innate armour that can be boosted further with abilities, some crowd-control and can make good use of Rage or Hunter … Continue reading Valkyr

Wisp

Casual Goblin

Overview: This floating frame has something of a floral theme, summoning magical plants to support allies – if you’re not creating illusions or emitting a beam of sidereal radiation towards a hapless foe! You can get the parts by killing the Ropalolyst on Jupiter after completing the Chimera quest. Prime: Wisp prime is yet to be released. Special: Gain invisibility when not touching the ground – this lasts a few seconds after landing, and can be broken early when firing a weapon. It sounds like a gimmick (and it is) but this is an incredible passive, boosting defence and utility … Continue reading Wisp

Nekros

Casual Goblin

Overview: Push horror into the minds of enemies, steal vitality from the fallen and force the slain to rise as your puppets – if this sounds good to you, check out Nekros! Parts drop from Lephantis in the Orokin Derelict assassination mission. Prime: Nekros prime is currently vaulted, so consider asking friends and clanmates if they have his relics, check the trading channel to see if people will sell his parts or simply wait until an unvaulting event. Special: Nekros regains health whenever an enemy dies nearby. The frame can also produce a steady stream of health and energy orbs, … Continue reading Nekros

Xaku

Casual Goblin

Prime: Xaku prime has not been released as yet, and will not be for a considerable length of time.

Ivara

Casual Goblin

Overview: Prowl through missions picking off targets with trick arrows, or cause carnage with one of the most powerful weapons in the game – If this sounds fun, steal the components and blueprint from successful spy missions! Prime: With higher shields, armour, energy and sprint speed, Ivara prime is a little tougher but still relies on Prowl (3) to avoid harm. I recommend the following mission for farming her relics: Blueprint: Hepit (Void) capture with a 11.11% chance. Neuroptics: Mot (Void) survival with an 11.11% chance at 5 and 10 minutes. Chassis: Hepit (Void) capture with a 11.11% chance. Systems: … Continue reading Ivara

Companions

Casual Goblin

Overview: Companions offer great utility to a Tenno, bringing bursts of stealth, item collection, shield recharge and healing functionality – but you can only bring one at a time. Once you’ve picked a companion, you’ll need to level them to get mod capacity and unlock their full potential. The best way to get affinity for your companions is to take them into a public match, since they will receive a share of the affinity generated by other players. Like any other “item” each type or breed of companion and companion weapon will provide mastery the first time you level them … Continue reading Companions

Kuva Liches & Larvlings

Casual Goblin

The Old Blood brought the kuva lich system, powerful enemies looking for revenge against their killers – namely, you. Bringing a collection of new and variant weapons, and fortified with a core of liquid kuva, these monstrosities need a bit of preparation to hunt. Creation: A kuva lich is created when you finish off a larvling – grineer soldiers selected for greatness by their queen. In practical terms, if you are fighting grineer of level 20+ you may intercept a message from a kuva guardian talking about clone rot – kill 10 grineer within the next 30 seconds and a … Continue reading Kuva Liches & Larvlings

The Steel Path

Casual Goblin

Once you’ve completed the star chart, what do you do next? The Steel Path offers players the chance to show off their knowledge and skill against tougher, high level enemies in a variety of missions, with enhanced rewards. Unlock: One the player has completed all “connected” nodes on the star chart, Teshin will message the player about unlocking the Steel Path – all you need to do is go to a relay and speak to him. In essence, you need to complete every node on the star chart, with the exception of the Assassination Missions: Mutalist Alad V and The … Continue reading The Steel Path
