VotumPrime Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I'm hearing talks and rumors about Rhino Umbra very often in-game. Stuff like how he will have 10 second absorption time on his Iron Skin instead of the usual 3 and a Roar ability that strips Sentient Immunity like Excalibur Umbra's Howl, a Charge ability that explodes on impact and strips away armor while being usable vertical like Excalibur's Slash Dash, and Stomp ability that does something entirely different, somehow making him the best tank to use against the Sentient. These are the things that I have been hearing over the past month. My question is; Why Rhino Umbra of all the frames that could be Umbra?...

Loza03 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Well, 3 reasons: 1: enough people start talking about it, the more people will. It's a meme in the original sense of the word - a cultural idea in Warframe's space. 2: Rhino Prime's codex entry mentions a very Rhino-Warframe like thing, that behaves more like a monster - eating people and everything, until it gets stopped in its tracks by stumbling on a room full of sleeping Tenno. As of the Sacrifice, we now know that was the original attempt at making Rhino, in other words, an Umbra. 3: IIRC, Redtext mentioned it at one point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get the version from Rhino Prime's codex entry, that would be very badass but that's just Proto-Rhino according to some players during the Rhino Umbra discussion. Like it was one of the bio-drones, not a Warframe or an Umbra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlada91 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hmm this looks interesting,im hoping that Rhino umbra will look weary cool...and that we can get in future Frost umbra because his prime version is just bad 😑🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an out-of-universe perspective, although Excalibur is the poster-boy of Warframe, I feel like Rhino is a close second-place. He is the guy in the middle on Warframe's icon, after all. Rhino is fairly popular among a lot of people as far as I can tell, I'm sure most players would prefer "Rhino Umbra" over something else like "Mag Umbra."

Like it was one of the bio-drones, not a Warframe or an Umbra. You asked why there's a lot of people talking about it, not the specifics of the lore. AFAIK, there's really not enough Umbra lore to determine the difference (if there is a meaningful one) between an actual 'Umbra' and these proto-Warframes.

These are the things that I have been hearing over the past month. That there, that sounds like fan fiction. Knowing DE, the most a Rhino Umbra would get is that roar thing stripping sentient immunity. DE doesn't give away christmas miracles like these, so, all that sounds like wishful thinking. If there is gonna be a Rhino Umbra (which, by the way, is the very first time I hear about, so dunno what surge in rumors you're talking about), it's definitely not gonna be that.

His passive ability is so useless. I was thinking DE could give his Umbra version something completely new and actually useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once DE releases Echoes of Umbra, every Warframe will be able to do that. Also, if you search Rhino Umbra on google, there's like hundreds of threads made on Rhino Umbra dating all the way back to the Sacrifice release.

(PSN)Ozymandias-13- Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Yeah, those sound made up. It's just a rumor, until it's not. Rhino is as eligible as any frame to become Umbra. I've had my fill of Umbra since mastering Excal though. It's a neat gimmick, but I have no interest in it, and personally hope that none of my main frames get Umbras. 3 minutes ago, VotumPrime said: His passive ability is so useless.

OR...hear me out...they could just improve the passive on the base form so that the Rhino and Rhino Prime aren't stuck with a useless passive. It has nothing to do with Umbra.

If they expire, then it's not likely that people will farm it. I feel like there's a lot of side and sub features that they are making Helminth do. They should have introduced his main feature the moment that room opened lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their abilities are effective against Sentient. Think of Excalibur Umbra as the best DPS Warframe against the Sentient while Rhino Umbra is the best Tank against the Sentient.

Yeah, from the initial information it sounded like it takes longer to farm and craft than it actually lasts, and for such a meaningless benefit. That is why there was so much immediate backlash.

I have to wait until New War to see if that has any effect, because as it stands, my kid and my Opticor are just as effective, and way more efficient. 3 minutes ago, (PS4)Tactless_Ninja said: All this hate for Rhino's hero landing.

You land with the intensity of a megaton bomb when dropping from a high enough elevation. As if his abilities were lacking enough to where he needs a useful passive.
