Warframe Powers & Contextual Actions [Pictures Included] [Update 27.6.15]

[Lukap99]

What's this about contextual actions now?

 

Exactly what you think.
Warframe powers do different things depending on the context. Something the current game does not do. Or very rarely does.

 

I really think it's a great way to add depth to frames that are already considered balanced. Not to mention raising the skill ceiling in general for most frames.

 

At the moment, Valkyr's Ripline can become "zipline" if you cast it in the air, pulling you forward in a straight line like you would 

in a Spider-man game.
Zephyr's Tailwind can function as both a pre-rework Excalibur "Super jump", launching you upward, and an aerial slash dash with higher range.

 

EXAMPLES

 

Q: What would happen if you could ripline yourself to targets?

A:

The power of the Tenno isn't limited by mods or the Warframe, it is only limited by your imagination. If you only think of using the powers the way they are intended, you will forever remain weaker than your enemy.

 

Now have some more pictures I drew while sleepy and powered by rock music and sugar.

I also take requests.

 

 

Set Excalibur to "blender mode" (Sliding + Slash Dash)

 

Super long jump - super jump while sliding R.I.P. Super Jump. We knew you so well ;_;7

Air drop Ice wave (Airborne + Ice wave)

 

Down to earth (ripline on flying enemy)

 

Ripline smash (Airborne + Ripline on enemy)

 

Overcharge (shock + props affected by overload)

 

Spectral beam (Hold the fire button while using SS. Drains energy faster but also buffs damage, fire rate and proc chance)

 

 

A sort of revival for my warfame power synergy mega-thread, which was based around the idea of the effect caused by multiple powers interacting.

[RadiantProxy]

Oh, the Hellion slam. I now will loose sleep over how badass it could look ingame =D

Hydroid's Tidal Surge in an air-melee, or his Undertow while sliding?

[(PSN)WiiConquered]

I'm all in favor. Helps teams, hurts no one.

Why has this not been thought of?  Seriously, my mind is kinda blown.  Ice wave drop seems so awesome

The exact same question...

 

Seriously, this is awesome and I'm astonished it still isn't a reality! :o

 

I got plenty ideas just by thinking about Ember,Frost,Hydroid,Volt... Make it happen! (and no, this time we won't let this one go to the archives too early...)
