ENIAK_Prime Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Actually, I wish Grendel's tac ability was Feast instead of Nourish, and he could remotely suck in enemies with it. That'd be way handier than a 30 second tiny buff to crew who probably don't need it for killing a boarding party really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just slingshot yourself into the ship and eat everyone. That's how I've been using mine, too. Yeet right into a crewship (Make sure you're in a red color scheme so you can yell "OH YEAH" as you do so) Eat everything in sight, pop the reactor, recall and repeat. ...

Yoshihito Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 If you're piloting I find anything with tankiness is good. So I play Inaros usually. Can't tell you how many times boarders will end up coming into the cockpit and killing squishier frames before you can react, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasau Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Revenant revenant or revenant. The amount of damage from grineer in veil proxima is such bullS#&$ they can even 1 shot inaros or atlas with full umbra armor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably having too much fun, being honest. Same. I use Grendel for RailJacking, not so much for Feast but simply because he's the tankiest boi I have, so I can board a crewship of any level and f***ing DESTROY it completely uncontested. Headcanon: Grendel is not actually a Warframe. He's a cannonball that got hungry and came to life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're Vauban you can set down a quartet of Nervos behind you before you take the pilot seat, then they'll latch and stun any grineer tryin'a come after you. Probably doesn't help much in the higher levels but it's amusing at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foefaller Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 ESO Saryn for borders. You only need to find one, and then it's Spores ->Tigris to the face -> Miasma -> Boarding Party clear.

I AM curious if cataclysm extends outside the railjack, and if one might be able to use this as a form of bubble shield against ship weapons?? MIGHT make limbo suuuuuper handy I doubt it. The Railjack, thanks to Tenno void magic, is bigger on the inside so it almost certainly just a separate map which can "interact" with the main RJ mission map via turrets.

Ikusi_Prime Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Gauss is really great for running around and doing different jobs around the ship. His 3 lets him easily CC and kill boarding parties, and his sheer speed lets him quickly and easily put out fires, seal hull breaches, load the forges, and get back on the guns.

It's possible that it might also apply to her archwing too. I have played evasion classes in other games and 20% is so low and unreliable that it won't prevent you from dying. You need over 50% before evasion will even double your chances of survival and given Nyx's stats that isn't even remotely good. Some frames have 90%+ damage reduction, can nullify incoming damage, can use massive health shields, etc. And you want us to get excited over 20% evasion? Nyx has killer fashion but let's not pretend her endgame prowess goes beyond that. Edited December 18, 2019 by (PS4)Hiero_Glyph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunishedShade Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Nidus is great for skirmishes I feel,considering his stacks can let him go undying even in archwing I found,plus tank like Inaros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yulfan Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Khora is also very helpful in dealing with boarding groups. 2 strangledomes can cover all entry points, and when she is not in the ship, everyone can use Ensnare thanks to tactical intrinsic rank 2. Same thing with crewships. No need to kill enemies : a strangledome and we have all the time it takes to hack the reactor and destroy it ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)calvina Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Rhino's still pretty great for running the engineer/crewship invader role. Cast stomp and everything freezes if you got high range, helps in both the railjack and crewships. (Also as of now on console, Rhino's roar also buffs gunner damage, probably fixed on PC.)

Lost_Cartographer Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Mag. Idiot AI keeps actively walking into the bubbles. Fortunately, support avionic casts adopt warframe mods, so I don't even have to leave the helm to dump a magnetize modded for range and strength on the cheap (streamline) to corral my new visitors. I can mosey on back at my leisure, drop a single Quellor alt fire round (~100,000 damage at least on its own) in and walk away knowing my job is done. For a number of nodes anyway. Still okay with boarding crewships, due to the claustrophobic spaces. Standard galleon/bases are too wide for the bubble to really matter though. BTW, for anyone wondering, the Quellor is a short range cannon (alt fire) with an automatic fire purely designed to soften up targets with status effects.

BDMblue Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Nidus passive works on your archwing. So he’s not bad, but you have to board and waste 30 sec stacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackHargreav Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Excal Umbra. For me he's a nice all around frame. I mainly pilot so usually i go into operator mode and he stays there to either kill or distract. And wukong is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaVice Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Add Nidus to the list of engis, its very easy to press your 2 to bring in all the enemies and build up his stacks insanely fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimSinner Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Max invisible, max speed Loki for crewships and points of interest. The absolute fastest in and out and never even a scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakhul Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Frost can be a really good Engineer too. His Avalanche stops enemy invaders on spot. With enough power str, you strip 100% of the armor of the invaders, making quick work of them with just about any weapon. Snowglobe can also be used to stop enemies from going further into the ship, as it slows them to a snail pace. The bad part of it is, that the snowglobes cannot be removed after, not even by frost himself. I have tried, and it did not work, so, Avalanche is your best skill in the railjack to stop invaders.

SneakyErvin Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Khora, Umbralibur, Wukong and Frost have been my go to frames for RJ. Khora for entangle/dome and two pets killing as I hack. Umbralibur for his jack of all trades kinda deal aswell as 2 pets attacking as I hack. Wukong for the same reason as Umbra pretty much and he's fast to get around with. Frost for his general tankyness, CC and total armor strip that turns every grineer into a fragile popcicle waiting to get cracked.
