Hey tenno, before you bash on the idea of plants in space lets get some things straight! she uses the plants through her suit which generates spores that may grow at incredibly rapid rates, the plants are genetically altered to feed off of any gas they can find.

now, without further ado Flora!

Shield: Flora has pretty high shields allowing her to endure lighter attacks more frequently.

power: Flora's power is quite high as well, being as high as the highest energy capacity non prime frames.

Armor: Flora has fair armor, cushioning her further from harm and making her able to endure collateral damage.

Speed: Flora is very fast, the only frames faster than her are certain prime frames.

 

 

Passive:

Whenever an enemy dies around flora, they grant her 1 energy and  grant life counters to all plants in Death Phase which will return them to Life Phase after they acquire 10 counters.

 

 

1-Lignify:

Flora throws a technocyte seed to embed and grow into her target encasing them in an orokin tree.

Life Phase

• Tree roots have a radius of 8 meters which is affected by power range
• Lignified target will take 20/22/24/26% ^{[10% per level]} of the damage their allies in the root range take.
• The tree may also act as an obstacle blocking bullets and other projectiles.

Death Phase

• When the tree dies it will activate Flora's passive 10 times
• When the tree re-enters Life Phase it will recast one the nearest 3 targets.

2-Garden:

Flora makes her power volatile, allowing her to create plants whenever she kills an enemy with a gun or melee weapon or when she bullet jumps.

Opinions? Ideas? lay em on me.

Edited March 26, 2018 by MrPigman

[MagPrime]

Can she be smaller than the rest of the Warframes?  Like, shoulder height or something? 

 

Her 1 seems a bit OP, I really like the CC of her 2, her 3 makes me happy and her 4 is a bit OP as well.  : /

[Duckbilledcow]

I like this idea a lot well not her helm to much light bulb XD. Other then that sounds awesome!!!!!!!!!

[Turbo_Anbu]

LOVE the design, I love it a million ways to sundown its so damn great.  For some reason it gives off like a "Saryn's little sister" vibe to it and I love it for that.  I imagine her being tanky like Saryn though so iunno about the 80 armor

[StellaPotato]

this is rather nice,

we see alot of plant suggested frames,

and then of course get the people who say we have saryn, who is not plant frame

she is poison frame

 

i like this design,

i can see this in game

with the tenno flowing painted metal texture look they have,

 

the glowing bulb i assume is the energy part,

 

 

i  would expect to her to be smaller like a post above stated,

lithe and agile, a fast frame by nature,

 

im seeing her as run and gun caster type

similar.. to saryn.... but a lighter version with a slight altered playstyle.

 

im keen to  see this actually happen,

its one of the better suggested frames.

 

with the newly shown clothes update testes in the recent dev stream..

 

i would imagine her petal skirt thing would sway, like petals do in the wind.

and if she is generating spores

 

it would be nice touch to have spores slowly blowing off her and stuff,

maybe an idle where she shakes and like  spores float off.

[ClockworkSpectre]

She sounds kind of OP, you may have gone a little to powerful on her abilities. 

 

Though she sounds pretty good, I can't help but not like the idea of a plant based frame in warframe.  DE already moved into the fantasy realm with hydroid, and I really really don't want to see them continue with that.  If we only were fighting on earth like areas, then sure it could be rationalized.  But for the most part we are fighting in rather sterile environments, so a plant based frame in a sci fi game really starts to push into fantasy. 

 

I am not saying I don't like your frame idea, its actually pretty cool, I just don't think it fits this game. 

[CrossbowJoe]

This is a great idea, and I love the design. The numbers you provide could be changed to balance her with other frames (and I'm sure some will have the patience to discuss that) but all the ideas are great.

 

Inspiring stuff :)

with hyrdoid? that doesnt make sense,

and all the frames fit fine,

its a sci fi game,

there really isnt rules to sci fi.

 

some frames seem to fit better for sure

but hydroid doesnt merit fantasy at all

he's water frame,

akin to ember being fire frame and so on with frost

 

limbo would be fantasy,

hes magician theme

 

but uses the void, so it fits,

mesa is just good with gun

so her moves revolve around that,

still fits theme,

it all fits.

[MrPigman]

thanks for the comments guys! i read all the comments and it's clear i may need to nerf some things with the 1 and 4. i will work on that as well as some more concept art. maybe a height comparison and alt helmet. 

 

also to address the delving into fantasy realm thing, in the beginning i wrote that she uses spores generated by her suit, this suggests that the frame has some sort of rapid bio-generation abilities to it, which is a pretty logical in the sense of science.

[Jaypalm]

I must say she is very pretty. Based on her skills, she almost seems like Ember's woodland little sister. You'll see why I say that..

 

As for her base stats, she's rather overly tanky compared to the usual trend. Only Zephyr would top her(who I'd say is even more so overly tanky), but she also has negligible armor to compensate. 80 armor may be a touch too high. Possibly reduce it to 50 since her shields are lower.

 

Her 1 is certainly OP. Instant de-tank. I'd say choose either armor reduction or damage buff. The armor reduction should probably be a bit less, then modified by power strength. Personally, I'd like to see this skill be castable on both enemies and allies similar to Banish. Enemies affected would have armor reduced, and allies affected would receive a damage buff or regeneration.

 

Her 2 is very nice. Pushing enemies out is great, but also keeping them out puts Vauban's higher cost augmented Bastille to shame. Instead of keeping them out, maybe it applies a slow similar to the Infested Moas' sludge, and also applies a DOT since they're thorny vines. Gives it a bit of a Fireblast feel.

 

Her 3.. Great idea and follows her theme well, but it's honestly way too much health way too quick. Maybe instead of it being a toggle, make it last say 10 seconds, and heal that 130 health as the total health recovered modified by strength, and the duration is inversely affected by duration. So more duration mods means shorter skill time means that 130 health quicker. Or make it work similar to Saryn's augmented Molt.

 

Edit: Alternatively, keep it a toggle and make her retract into a large flower bulb, immobilizing her but recovering some amount of health over time. When she emerges, she somewhat explodes out, launching spores and pollen everywhere blinding enemies in her immediate surroundings. Kind of a puddle like skill.

 

Her 4 is excellent. No complaints there. I've been dying for another skill similar to Ember's WoF, and this is just perfect. The snare is great for this skill too, and maybe snared targets have reduced armor as well. Plays along with her anti-armor theme from her 1.

 

Please give her a Venasaur alt helmet pliiisisssss. Like.. instead of the firefly pod on her scalp, its a rose bud or something.

I can see her idle animation being holding her hands up to her face and blowing off rose petals into the wind. She has a very serene mystical forest feel to her.

All in all, 5/5 would bang buy.

#1 is to op.. but other then that looks awesome

 

edit: after reading that heal is a little bit to strong at the end rank toned down it would be great

[Agrissa88]

I like the design and the abilities but a bit OP. I haven't problem with any design and ideas because every can be fit into this game. 

[arch111]

The art I like very much, very floral faery-like, that is a positive not a negative.

The powers fit very nicely too.

The first thing I thought of was the old comment that Valkyr might have been plant-based.

Joke or not, I can picture her head with your design

Very nicely done.

thought id make a rough model/textured version of your art. hopefully i can greatly improve it, some parts are altered and i made the overall color darker/desaturated.

Loving the progress here. Looks like you adopted the dual cast Lignify and you made a concept of my rose bud head idea! Looks amazing! Stats all look viable now too, good work yo! Definitely love to see this in game.

I love to take everyone's opinions and ideas and combine them into the concept! after all the point is to make a warframe that everyone can enjoy! so it only makes sense to do what everybody desires! I really would love to see a plant warframe so i'm pretty adamant about this!

 

probably will make a syandana for her soon and maybe some skill aesthetics.

[(PSN)jFresh215]

sounds like a very fun frame. and she looks amazing. would be awesome using bramble against the infested.  

[OniDax]

This looks cool.

[MrPigman]

sounds like a very fun frame. and she looks amazing. would be awesome using bramble against the infested.  

Yes! the idea was to have her pretty good against both infested and grineer, however she has less to use against the corpus! this fits perfectly with DE's idea of "each frame has it's purpose."

[LinkGetsuei]

I really like this concept, and I love the artwork for how the frame looks, even the alt helmets. If it is alright with you I am gonna do some critiques in this post. :D

 

Art and look: love it, absolutely would not change a thing.

 

Stats:

Judging by the abilities, these stats feel a bit off. even if these are for rank 30 they still feel big. according to abilities 1,2 and 4 she is heavy CC. her 3rd is the only thing alluding towards being a self heal tank(which I have a suggestion change to it.)

Now, assuming these stats are rank 30, I propose this instead stat wise

 

Support stats ( my personal choice for her)

Health:275. Reason: highest health frame unmodded is Oberon at 375, and he is supposed to be a heal tank. this frame doesn't feel tank like, it feels natural CC support type. frames closer to that are mag(225), banshee(300), Nyx(300), and trinity(300). I say 275 because of her 3 also. 300 max.

 

Shield: 300, again from my perspective she is more support and most support frames have 300 shields(except mag who has 450). So I would set her at 300.

 

Power:225, 150 feels like that of someone who is not a caster, has no toggle abilities that would eat power, or for rank 0. 225 would be better for her

 

Armour: drop it to maybe 20, mag is really the only support with high armor at 65, the others have 15. even ember( similar ult) only has 15 armor

 

speed:1.0-1.1, 1.2 is to fast and only frame who has that is prime loki.

 

Stamina: fine

 

 

Tank:

Health:300, again most of the tank frames with CC have 300 max. 450 is to much

Shield:450, average tank frame has a 450 shield.

Power:175, because of her toggle she needs a bit more power then average tank

Armor: 110

Speed:.9-1.0, again 1.2 is really fast

Stamina:fine

 

Abilities

 

1. Lignify: is fine but due to stagger I would lower it a bit more. make it 10/25/40/50 instead and should be fine.
make this affected by duration and range. maybe strength if you want to lower base and make strength raise it up.

 

2. Bramble:lower the proc chance of the slash

Make it affected by Range and strength, the strength can bring the the slash proc to 100%.

 

3. Synthesis: I assume you mean it to have an initial 25 then cost maybe 2-5 power a second for it being on, otherwise it is way to powerful cost wise.

1.Tank: 5/4/3/2 seconds instead of 1 and make it 2/4/6/8%. Think if you have 700 health(after mods) at max you are healing 280 health a second with that on. that means in less then 3 seconds you are back to full health. you can out heal almost everything. at 8% every 2 seconds you get 56 which is more balanced, or do 6% at the least which gives 42 every 2 second.

 

2. Make it support! 5/4/3/2 a second for 2/4/6/8% missing health, and have it affect you and allies close by. making you a CC off healer.

 

Range if support can affect it, and you could add strength to strengthen the heal. maybe choose 6 for base and 8 for max if using power strength mods.

 

Personally I like the idea of having it more support oriented.

 

Veradance: depending on how heavy "heavy puncture damage" is is if I have to criticize. right now though it is fine.

Obvious effective mods for it - range for distant's of enemies that can be hit, strength for damage, duration for how long it lasts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Overall I love the concept, just a few things feel they need tweaking.

As for %, use a % calculator like this http://www.math.com/students/calculators/source/3percent.htm.
(for the heal, you can use one of your frames with vitality or warframe builder to find out the health of a frame with at least max vitality on. then plug the numbers into the calculator till you find something that sounds more balanced for a toggle ability.)

 

Great work all in all, I full endorse this frame coming to the game at some point!

(sorry for long wall O' text xD)
