Hohei is a mobile artillery barrage able to distract enemies from allies and deal massive damage within range.

 

Passive: Enemies are forced to agro on Hohei, and will prefer to shoot at him rather than other Warframes or Operators. (Except when Hohei’s operator is walking around.)

Trivia: Hohei is the English spelling of the Japanese word for Artillery.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know I'm not a great artist and these drawings are pretty rough. Please look past their quality.

Feedback on abilities, design choices, passives, stats, or anything else on this page are welcome.

I also know there have been a lot of previous posts for artillery based warframes, but I haven't seen any that take agro off of other players, and that's part of Hohei's design.

Thanks for reading!
