CopperTalon Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Due to the fact that we can now apply an Umbra Polarity to our companions, there is a lot of theorizing about a potential Umbra companion coming out, but for now I can only think of 1 important thing. I personally use my Smeeta Kavat in every mission, including Eidolon Hunts. But in those hunts, she goes down very frequently to the Eidolon's attacks, to the point that players begin to stop reviving her and other companions in the instance in order to continue pumping out more damage. What I ask is for one or more Umbra mods for our companions, specifically similar to the Umbra Warframe mods that add Tau resistance. Even if it came with a downside of doing less damage, having a Kavat with resistance to Eidolon attacks would be so helpful and very appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a wonderful day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)LeBlingKing Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Well, there's nothing saying that Umbra Forma is limited to just Warframes. I'm sure you can use that on your cat once it's available through Nightwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the description on the Umbra Forma from the Nightwave rewards specifically says you can apply it to a Warframe, Weapon, or Companion. This was the reason for my post. Based on what is currently in the game, there is absolutely no reason for us to want to apply an Umbra Forma to a Companion. This is why there has been some theorizing in the community as to a potential Umbra Companion in the future, but I have not seen anyone suggest a Companion Umbra Mod, so I figured I would bring it up here.

If you’ve followed the lore behind umbra, followed what the devs said and use a bit of common sense, you’ll know nothing of this sort is gonna happen And why are ‘theories’ being considered now?

This isn’t even a theory, just a guess It's kind of folly to assume DE will not add anything just because they said they wouldn't. We know this because they said they would never add Umbra Forma. Now look where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DE so well wanted, they could make a companion based on some story of after an Umbra frame escaped or whatever, they found it and trained it. Hell, if they really want they don't even need lore, they could've just released a kubrow, kavat or sentinel with Excalibur Umbra and slapped a mod with an umbral tag bound to how many umbral mods you had on your warframe and weapons with some subtext that means about as much as the Plinx subtext means. To OP, so the only reason you want an Umbral mod for companions is so that you companion stops dying in content that it's hardly meant to be in, anyway. My Kavat simply doesn't die as much, but if it did we have Warframe that grant immunity to damage as well as a Focus Tree that can also do the same thing.

I fail to see how a Kavat is "hardly meant to be in" an Eidolon Hunt when they add a huge amount to our DPS with crit-chance buffs. A lot of people use them for this reason. It's not just my Kavat that dies often, it's any other teammates as well. They're not modded poorly either. I don't understand why I'm getting all this flak for a simple suggestion that is just QOL.

Yet you also claim that they die so often that your teammates start refusing to pick them up, thus also making their participation moot after that point and lowering your DPS by requiring your attention. Your argument is now also contradictory. Again, there are Warframes that can save your Kavat with teamwork or a focus tree that can do the same. A mod solely so that they can't die to content that's supposed to be difficult just so you can sidestep working with three other people makes no sense. Just because Umbral polarities CAN be applied to something where that functionality doesn't logically make sense -- or rather even exist -- yet doesn't mean there's a NEED for it to happen right now, especially not just to be a scapegoat of this reasoning.

VirtualJunky Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Just my 2 cents here, but perhaps by companion it means the weapon? Because Deconstructor is a melee weapon used by Helios and we have 2 Umbra melee mods. In one of the most recent dev streams, might have even been the most recent they said they had no plans for any more Umbra stuff because it doesn't make sense, but later down the road they might try to make it work and make sense. Which is funny because the story already has so many issues, why be worried about that but what can ya do, it's DE. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
