For anyone using a Prime Warframe, remember about Orokin Death Orbs giving Free Energy

[Duality52]

Today's Sortie, as well as this week's Elite Sanctuary Onslaught with Round 6 in the Derelict, are the ones in particular I want to note about.

Prime Warframes (not Umbra) can move near a Death Orb (active, inactive, or even destroyed) to release a burst of 250 energy for not only themselves, but any nearby Tenno.

Mark a waypoint on the Orb you're planning to activate and wait for your team to form up to get free energy.

I keep forgetting about this feature-- no, easter egg --solely because it's so situational. I'll just bullet jump into an Orb, raise my eyebrow and think "Oh, yeah. That's a thing. Cool."

The tip isn't bad though. It's an AOE and it's big numbers.

Or use Zenurik for infinite energy, anywhere, at any time.

Just saying. It's been a long time ever since the death orbs were of any relevance.

Waiting to regen 250 energy with Zenurik will still take nearly a minute, and you'll be spending some of it too. It gets longer if Energizing Dash isn't fully ranked.

If there's a Void Sortie with Energy Reduction, this gets more helpful since Energizing Dash will get cut by 75% of its regen.

...and remember, Umbra isn't a Prime, because...reasons.

Cant get 50% power strength with energy conversion with Zenurik. My Kubro gives more energy in orbs. & Energy pads are cheep, its a waste of a passive.

you also get it in the derelict ship too not just the void, also not every player uses zenurik not energy pads.

that moment during a Mot Survival endurance run 40+ mins in, and out of energy pizzas, and you get that one room with a walkway that has like 4 orbs along it.

as niche as it is, I love it.

It all depends on the builds. The closer you get to 75% efficiency the more useful and self sustaining energizing dash becomes to the frame, up to the point where you can ditch flow and sit at 100% energy spamming your most expensive abilities. And at the same time the Void Orbs become more and more neglectable for the same build.

In sorties with energy reduction they are still useful.
