Is The Dera Worth Formaing?

[merryfistmas]

If you like it. We can't really make that decision for you.

[Vilemyre]

Dera is a nice weapon but its only good as a cheap alternative to higher grade stuff like the flux.

 

Is it worth forma? Not if you plan on using it in more than just corpus areas.

[__Kanade__]

Listen very carefully... NO.

 

 

But that's just my opinion, Dera served me well until I had reached Rank 6, then it was Ogris galore which included many suicidal deaths with Nova until I had reached Rank 7, now I'm loyal to the Supra

 

Flux Rifle will be a side-grade for me.

 

 

 

I still keep the Dera cause it has the most unique reload, plus it was my first tech weapon. Will I use it again? Nope.

Really, it's all up in the air until the new damage calculation is released, at the moment no, it's not really worth polarizing but that may change radically in the very near future. My advice would be to wait for update 10 and the new armor 2.0 before making a decision.

 

Edit: I feel it necessary to mention that I love the Dera, it is one of my favorite guns in Warframe, but in the current meta game there's just NO point to polarizing a non armor ignore rifle. The only slight exceptions to this argument are the supra and the dread, and you could make the argument against both of them too, honestly.

Dera is fun as heck.  However, unless they make the laser type not garbage against Grineer in the armor rework, I'll probably take a Braton Prime over the Dera.  It's a Braton, enough said.

[S13gtastic]

Dera's one of the few guns that I get asked the most what it is and where can you get it when im screwing around on lower level maps. Its fun and goes pew pew pew.

[slappy330]

In the wiki it says it's bad against Grineer

 

It's probably decent against Infested

 

And I guess it's the best against Corpus.

Who dares slander the name of my dera?

 

SAID GRINEER UNITS SHALL BE SLAIN!

[Aspari]

If you play Volt, Dera + Electric Shield = Win

[aldershot]

Zander, hold off on formaing until update 10 to see what they do with the armor on mobs.
 

[Ignaesia]

Do it if you like it enough

I've 5x Forma'd my Burston and bring it to T3s and Xini etc, the comments from my clanfriends never get old

[CatPhoenix]

 

does it kill the fastest? no. do i care? no. 

 

OMG, someone speaks the voice of reason here.  May the RNG gods be kind to you.

[Wiegraf]

Whenever I pull out the Dera, I color the Energy red then head into the void.

 

... Then I shoot the corrupted saying "DIE, REBEL SCUM!" XD

But I'd say, if you like it, go ahead; I forma'ed it once myself to add a V polarity on it. When I'm at a point where I have no more primary weapon to level, I often cycle through those I enjoy the most playing with and the Dera finds itself suprisingly often in that cycle.
