Codex

This is Persephone, the life bringer, the essence collector

Take root on your enemy and grow Tenno.

Description

Spoiler

Persephone is a tank support created for “DUO” play (you play support your friends will use a damage dealer). She has a small amount of squad support ( energy regeneration and power strength and melee damage buffs). But she truly shines by combining Grasping Vines to heal, and forbitten Fruit to buff 1 ally to incredible levels of durability and damage. She excels supporting melee frames (especially those using exalted melee weapons). She is also I decent frame for solo frame due to her ability to buff herself and heal herself.

I took a bit of inspiration on Nidus, so she has a unique resource called Sap. Like mutation stacks, sap provides passive benefits, but unlike mutation stacks sap cost are High. So, it is impossible to fully utilize Persephone’s kit without constantly using all your sap.

My overall logic when design this frame was plants use soil, light and give useful stuff back (wood, fruits grain …). For this frame I used a similar logic this frame uses soil (enemies), light (energy or void space magic) and gives back useful stuff (buffs). Logic behind her 1 and 4.

Since I could do just buffs for skills, I created a new line for skills, what an infested plant would be able to? The traditional living roots and thorn armor came in mind first. After quite a few skill interactions (4 to be precise) the current version of her 2 and 3 were creted. The 2 is probably the most predictable skill in this kit , it is a Plant frame and has a thorn armor. The 3 one is quite interesting because it is healing skill that directly uses Persephone health to heal her ally , she can also use this skill to heal herself by targeting enemies.

I will describe each skill as quickly as possible, if you want detailed descriptions or scaling (damage, scaling mechanism or stats) these will be under the tab. Also, I will use the fallowing abbreviations P (affected by power strength), R (affected by Power Range), D (affected by Power Duration)

Balance

Spoiler

I did some math to check some stuff here (notify me if I did anything wrong)

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yo077m5izei13vp/AAClh755T6Oxxwf-uLBN_3z2a?dl=0

Fairly helpful spread sheet. I will discuss my reasoning for her durability and buff power.

As far as Durability is concerned I’ve used Trinity Prime as my measuring stick. Her durability without buff is way higher them Trinity prime but Trinity prime has more Effective HP when she uses her buffs. Also Trinity primes has better access for self healing.

As far as her buffs are concerned the melee buff is not nearly as strong as it seems.

• First, the 150%(without power strength) melee damage sounds like a lot but due to the changes in melee scales it is not same thing major. Supposing 300% power strength and a melee weapon using both primed treasure point and condition overload this buff wont be able to double the melee damage DPS.
• Second, the 50% power strength boost already exist on the game and we know it is good but is not game breaking.
• Third, the 60% damage boost is a situational slightly better than a rhino Roar but is more situational.
• Fourth, the 240% health bonus is a slightly better Fire Chroma.
• At last, her single target healing can be amazing, upwards of 700 health/s but it cost her own health.

My biggest concern was Persphone making Wukong Staff to Hard or make Excalibur blade to Bright, But exalted melee weapon received the short end of the stick on the melee update so there is no concern there.

 

 

What do you think of this frame? Any feedback is welcomed.

Companion

Spoiler

[PH] Head Crab (Raknoid Companion)

This is part of new type of companion, raknoide companions.

Why raknoide?

It is surprisingly easy to implement (there are plenty of animations available, form the raknoide enemies) and it is visually different from the other types of companions.

Moding

Crabs can use the same mods as MOA companions, but they are not modular.

Stats

Health – 200

Shield – 50

Armor – 100

Precepts

Gardener- Head Crab will gather a small amount of biomass for each kill performed by Warframe within affinity range. After 50 kills, Head Crab give her owner one of the following:

If the current environment supports any scannable plants, the drops will wield extract (the extract corresponding to the plant scannable in this biome) and 5 health orbs.

If the current environment does not support any scannable plants, the drop will wield 5 health orbs.

Synaptic Root- Head Crab will send 1 snake like vine towards the enemy neck. When the vines attach to the enemy neck the crab will assume control of this enemy body. If the enemy dies the crab will keep control over the body. This skill can also be casted on enemies that died but did not lose body parts. Prioritizes elite enemies.

Weapon

Much like MOA they can equip sentinel weapon, but this little guy has a unique sentinel weapon like Helios. He uses a whip.

·         If the maximum amount of swiftness stacks was reached, all allies will receive a 30% bullet jump and aim glide buff (affected by power strength)

 

 

 

I feel like these skills are complex on paper but gameplay wise they are intuitive. For example:

3. Forest guardians

Energy cost: 75

Throw a ball at you enemies, if he dies you will span a plant based Kubrow. Normally, this will spawn a Hunter (plant based Kubrow, same size as a feral Kubrow), However, If the enemy was a heavy enemy(heavy gunners, corpus tech, kyta raknoid ,  coolant raknoid ….), Orion will spawn. Orion is Absolut Unit and has his own skill set.  Whenever Flora cast a skill, Orion will cast a skill of his own.

Orion Skill set

1.       Blind 8 enemies

2.       Gets a “warding halo”

3.       Charges the enemy tagged by Flora, crushing his defenses

4.       Gets a gimped copy of Flora’s exalted weapon.

 

Spoiler

Description

Flora throws a massive seed (same size as tesla at the target enemy) dealing 50/100/150/200 Impact Damage (affected by power strength) and procs impact. This seed will stick to the enemy for 5/10/15/20 seconds. If this enemy die while the seed still stuck, the seed will germinate into a hunter. If the seed was stuck into a heavy enemy Orion will spawn instead.

Note: After the implementation of wuklone I’ve noticed DE does not necessarily hates strong summons. They hate summons allowing you to afk. This skill summons a bunch of strong minions, but they have restriction on their targeting, making it so they only work when you play.

Note: All forest guardians only attack enemies that have been damaged by Flora. If no enemies have been attacked by flora on the last 20 seconds all forest guardians will go dormant reducing their threat level to 0. This restriction allows the summons to be strong but preventing the player to going afk and reeling upon the summons to all the work. Also, the huge AOE and lingering effect of her 1, allow for easy targeting of the enemies.

Throw the seed like a baseball pitch

2. Living armor

Energy Cost: 50

Same as Nezha Warding hallo, lower DR and does not damage nearby enemies. But after you already have your “Warding Halo” you can cast it on your ally to transfer the damage they take to you.

Spoiler

Description

Hydra wraps itself around flora and absorb all damage received for 3 second. Them he will absorb 75% of the damage flora takes until his HP is depleted. While it is wrapped around flora, she can recast this skill to send Hydra towards an ally. Uses the same Hp formula as Warding Halo.

          If the ally is a warframe , Hydra will transfer 85% this ally take to Flora. This effect will stop as soon as Flora reaches

          If the target is one of the forest guardians, Hydra will absorb its health (it a way to quickly getting hid of the guardians like frost can dispatch snow globes)

Synergy: Consuming any fruits spawned from sow the seeds will improve the living armor buff.

Fortitude: Hydra grows spikes, these spikes will add piercing damage to Flora’s dodge rolls. (Damage formula 2 x Hydra MaxHP x Power Strength)

Vigor: Hydra grows flowers, these flowers will increase the range of flora’s passive.  This effect will increase the range to 20 m (affected by power strength, cannot go lower than 10)

Swiftness: Hydra boost flora’s perception allowing her to dodge 50% of the incoming projectiles (this effectively increases the DR to 87.5%)

Visual:

Spoiler

Hydra will grow a wrap himself around Flora’s body.

Formating, added weapons, added argument, added weapons, added sentinel

[(PSN)TeynKu]

Im all for another plant themed lady frame, feels a lot like what a poison ivy  frame would be as opposed to Saryn and her spores.

[keikogi]

Just added a weapon set.

[xZeromusx]

As a fellow appreciator of GW2, I'd enjoy seeing the Sylvan Hounds as the Kubrows.

Decided to use the sylvan hounds as visual guide lines , I’ve also Flora’s kit quite a bit.

[keikogi]

Added a new argument , Fair Reward( allow her to target allies and give them buffs)

[keikogi]

Added new weapons Hydra's Bow and Urumi. Finally finished the set (maybe I should add a kavat??). I will probably commission some art for the frame.

[keikogi]

Added a new sentinel, this sentinel has cc and healing. Additionally he can create plant extracts , easing the farming process of extracts.

[keikogi]

Added a new Argument, ads CC potential to her 1 , it is unreliable by design ( I did not want to give her the ability to lock down rooms). It just an extra layer of protection to your allies.

[keikogi]

Bump

[keikogi]

Decided to change Kipouros a bit, automatic pistols feel a bit of for a Plant based weapon, so I decided to update it to dual wielded handheld crossbows.  Changed stats to accommodate, now it’s closer to point blank shot gun when used up close and a sniper when you fire it zoomed in. Also a few changes to Flora's 2.

 

[keikogi]

Changed the name and title for 2 reasons. @MrPigman already had designed a frame with the same name and theme, so It is good idea to change the name of mine. Also, Persephone fits better this kit relation with death (using enemies’ corpse as vases for plant and draining enemies of their life). It also fits better the fruits since Persephone is the god of Spring. I will commission some art with Loone Wolf later.

Edited August 31, 2019 by keikogi

[keikogi]

Added the art. Which version do you like and why?

I’ve nerfed the exalted weapon and removed the bullet jump buff ( I did not think it fits this warframe ) . I’ve added a holstering rate buff and an affinity drop to replace the parts I’ve changed

[keikogi]

Reworked the kit one more time and removed the arguments. Summoning Cerberus is now art of her 2. The new 3 is a defensive skill that works like Inaros Scarab armor.

[SASoHBoss]

I do like the idea of a plant warframe without the whimsy.

What do you mean by the whimsy?

Do you mean, not looking like a frail flower?

Anything else on kit or visual?

[SASoHBoss]

Oberon and Titania by design are nature, but very magical. While this frame is merely plant based.

Not particular. I'm not the best at rating that kind of stuff.

You are right. I’ve tried to move away form total magic stuff and just went with mutant plant (even thought I did not move away from the traditional healer/ support role of this type of character)

My overall logic when design this frame was plants use soil, light and give useful stuff back (wood, fruits grain …). For this frame I used the a similar logic this frame uses soil (enemies), light (energy or void space magic) and gives back useful stuff (buffs). Logic behind her 1 and 4.

 Since I could do just buffs for skills, I created a new line for skills, what an infested plant would be able to? The traditional living roots and thorn armor came in mind first. After quite a few skill interactions (4 to be precise) the current version of her 3 was created. The second ability I give was to create living plants monstrosities. I’ve went with all types of summoned creature during my design process (a few example: beeflower; Marlboro, final fantasy ; treants ; giant crab plant monster…) until a settled on a Kubrow.

This warframe seems like its so much fun! I have no complaints really, i love it! 9.5/10 warframe mannn

 

Could mutant fly traps be added somewhere in the abilities? Idk why i want this but, theres something so satisfying about the thought of an enemy's legs hanging out the mouth of some plant monster looking fly trap lol. 

 

Occasionly the fly trap will release a gas of some sort that hypnotizes enemies and draws them toward the fly trap or man eating plant. Much like the dijin sentil, when enough enemies are close enough to it, it will open its mouth and eat them all! It will keep them in its mouth until the enemies are dead or an ally melees the plant, causing it to spit the enemies out. The more saps that Persephone has, the more damage the enemies will take. Deals bonus health damage above 50% of saps stacks! Once the enemies are dead, it will release the gas again to draw in more enemies

This idea is amazing. However, I've looked at the base kit and I just can't shove the fly trap as an extra effect of any of the available skills( it would just feel like a uncessary duck you to enemies , I also considered adding it as a synergy for enemies affected by both her 1 and 3 but that kind of synergy feels clunky ). If I were to sacrife a skill for the venus traps it would be the parasitic seed , but I've worked so hard to make sure a summoning skills is powerfully but can't be used for afk farming. 

But I think I found a good comprimese. Her CC is underwhelming (the roots has unreliable duration and you can't recast it ) so why not add rhe fly traps as argument for sow the seeds. Something like.

[PH] Carnivorous Plants - fruit plant created by sow the seeds will continuously emit pheromones attacking nearby enemies , if an enemies gets into a 0,5 meters radius. The plant will attempt to eat him. Enemies around will panic and shoot at the fly trap mounth.

I will detail the effects later. I think the fruits as the bait for the fly trap just works so well.

Tripple Yes!!! I can picture myself playing this warframe now xD

[keikogi]

After talking with @(PS4)IIFrost_GhostII, I  realized the dog is a bit of thematic stretch. It is not crazy, like plant animals are not uncommon when portraying treants or dryads, but I’ve went with a mutant plants’ vibe, so the dog feel a bit off. Also it occupies a coveted design space ( exalted kubrow, lots of people want a dog timer/kubrow/ wolf pack /werewolf frame). So I tought of going back to the Malboro summon. It looks more like a plant and could be a great opportunity to introduce racknoid pets.

I thought of something combining these images

I think I will scrap the Silvan Round, I just think there are better places for an exalted Kubrow. What do you think , @xZeromusx?

That's fine. I actually have a Frame concept using an exalted Kubrow as well. Though, not a Sylvan Hound. An exalted Helminth Charger. It's the first one in the list in my Compendium post: Fenrir.

I was aware of your concept. I like the way you capture both the transmissable nature of lycan curse and the wild nature of werewolf (the passive and the ultimate).

Thank you. Very proud of that concept. Like the visuals of this frame. Reminds me of the Sylvari armor from GW2 a little bit.
