I think you may have misunderstood what I meant.

I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I should have been more specific. I didn’t mean linking it in other parts of forums, I meant mentioning it in other parts of the internet. Like other social media outlets/ websites, or possibly even just to your friends.

I think making more than one topic about the same thing is considered spam in forums.

Problem is that i don't have social networks

I talked to my friends about your warframe. I will add that they have the opportunity to share with other people and leave a like to your post

That’s ok, every little bit helps.

1) Enemies under the effect of the kuva cloud occasionally drop kuva droplets that when picked up boost Guen's ability strenght up to 100%

2) Enemies that are killed by the kuva pool have more chance to drop extra resource, mods and ammo

im not good at naming the mods but here you go

Thanks! This helps a lot. I finally have some ideas to work with.

It’s funny that you say that because these were some of the original pictures that I used to showcase Guen’s deluxe skin:

 

In fact, I learned about the “carnage simbiote” while searching for a good picture to represent Guen.

Really good choice i must say! Though my only concern is maybe changing Guen's name to something different. The reason why i say this is because Carnage being a villian in Spider-Man comics, there is a love interest of Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man) who is a girl who goes by Gwen Stacey. I dont remember if she ever got possessed by a symbiote in the comics (i dont remember) but Guen and Gwen sound very similar (unless Guen isnt pronounced as "Gou-when" or her name is pronounced as "Gou-ween")

 

If this warframe was released, i would instantly buy her with Plat day one! She looks brutal!

 

Im sure her name could be passed as an easter egg or reference. It would be sad to see this great idea get cut down due to Copyright just because of the similarities of the name of both characters 😕

but i wouldnt be too worried, since Rhino basically shares an exact name of the Marvel comics villian "The Rhino" so i think you are good to go! 👍

 

Please dont take this as me discouraging you and your killer warframe concept; as someone who is a comic writer and artist, just want to look out for you 😁 overall, keep this going! It has alot of potential!!!

I see what you mean with the name similarity, but like you said I don’t think there’s very much to worry about. I mean, not only is Gwen a relatively common name, but she isn’t even the main character, and on top of that my character has a different name (different by 1 letter but different none the less).

I doubt this similarity will cause a problem. Also, I would like to keep Guen’s name as long as possible because it does have some significance (As it states in the “trivia” section of the main post: Guen is short for Sanguen, which is an old Latin word for blood).

Also, Guen is pronounced the same way as Gwen.

If worst comes to worst DE can just change her name. I would prefer they don’t, but so long as Guen gets put into the game it doesn’t really matter what people call her.

No it’s ok, I take no offense. Without feedback Guen wouldn’t be what she is now.

You’re a comic writer!? That’s so cool. As a writer would you mind giving me some pointers on my story? It is pretty long so don’t feel pressured to read it all, but some feedback on Guen’s story would be nice. Especially because I’ve gotten hardly any feedback on it so far.

First; i must apologize for replying so late. Yesterday i was very very busy.

As for pointers and advice for writing stories? Heck yeah!!! Ask me anything in a PM and i will help you out. 😁

As for Guen, im sure you are in the clear! Like 99.999% for sure. The possibilities of her name being changed is very very slim.

Actually, the story is in the main post. The story begins in the “Lore/ backstory” section, and it continues in the “future story” section.

I know it’s a lot, so again, don’t feel pressured to read all of it. You can just read the “Lore/ backstory” section. If you want to read more then go for it, but you don’t have to.

Hey everybody, just came up with an ability idea for Guen.

What if her kuva puddles were stackable? And the more you stack them, the more range and damage they have.

The only problem I see is that it may be a bit op, because this would essentially serve as an endless health pool that, when refunded, shoots Guen’s health all the way to the overhealth cap.

What do you guys think?

You can create an augment that allows you to do what you have written and that for each cast you perform, more health per second take to you (pretty much like vampire mode in Nightmare missions)

Yes! You’re a genius! I didn’t even think about that. This would work perfectly as an augment mod. Thank you!

I just read your lore for Guen. And i have some fair things to say. Overall, the grammar and punctuation was very well done! Using very good words to describe the emotions of the worm queen and i was able to picture how she was preparing her plan to bring back her eldest sister.

Very good complete sentences and very professionally written if i do say so myself! Very well done and easy to understand! No run on sentences at all!

Though my only issue is there is a plot hole that needs filling in; and half of the story here actually breaks lore if its not fixed or addressed with further lore backing up to Guen, Kuva and the Eldest Queen.

One question that kept coming to mind was: How did the worm queen manage to make a warframe? Warframes were actually living beings who were infected with a specific strain of the Technocite virus (Infested virus) not only making them into warframes; but not being totally mindless like the regular infested that we fight. they cant be made by just anyone without proper ancient orokin technology. And also the purpose and lore behind the Kuva resource and why the Queens are trying to horde so much of it is still a mystery currently. We can make many theories and alot of speculation of what Kuva is for and what it actually is; but that is what makes writing fan lore so fun! Im sure DE will elaborate on what Kuva really is in future updates. Also dont forget that the second dream also had Moral choices that players in the community had to make during the actual quest. So we must take that factor into consideration and somehow add different scenarios depending on the choices Players have made during this quest until the Eldest Queen's demise in the end. Just food for thought. 😉

If you dont mind; i can help give a few lore friendly ideas that could help you brainstorm some back lore on to how the worm queen managed to create one.

1. Perhaps a Kuva Lich managed to successfully hunt down and kill the warframe he was meant to defeat. (This could be a way for DE to add a Canon Kuva Lich reaccuring character with their own lore and back story. Perhaps after defeating his enemy; he was promoted to lead the rest of the Kuva Liches that players are fighting everyday. And this Specific Lich can be one of the special bosses needed to get the parts to Guen? I was thinking that farming him he would drop the parts needed to build her. On top of that he was able to disect the original Guen after torturing her hence why he drops her pieces when farming this Unique Lich boss.)

2. When the dissected corpse of Guen was presented to the worm Queen; she ordered her Grineer scientists to replicate the same experiments Alad V once did with Valkyr on Jupiter for his Zanuka Project. Perhaps when the worm queen transfered her eldest sisters conscience from the kuva to Guen's vessel; it trapped the soul of Guen into the Kuva that the eldest queen was trapped in. (Like an exchange of souls) little did she know; the real Guen was actually gaining power as she was trapped in the Kuva in which the queens seemed to value so much over anything else. Eventually leading to her inevitable second defeat in which the Player can consume the kuva to gain the power of Guen herself as a loyal warframe to the player. As the quest continues; Guen will tell the Player's Tenno telepathically where her body parts are being held and where to find her executioner. Then you can exact revenge on the Lich who had killed her her the first time and as a reward for defeating him; you can get 300 Kuva and a random piece of Guen's warframe to build later on.

 

(Sorry for the long essay; i hope these ideas are helpful to you in someway! 😁 i hope this was very constructive and help you find ways to add and/or improve onto the lore)

Ok, so I just finished reading basically the entire story of warframe start to finish, not including the prequel found in the warframe comics. I am almost certain that I have found a realistic yet interesting way that the worm queen would be able to build her very own warframe, and on top of that, one with no memories, emotions, or even a soul to begin with. Ok, here it is, tell me what you think:

 

The Grineer Queens have been monitoring all infestation experiments, being sure to stay informed on all breakthroughs in that regard, both new and old. They even had eyes on other factions. They used Grineer spies to keep tabs on everything. In places that their Grineer spies could not reach they had hackers tap into enemy records and security cameras remotely.

When the Elder Queen died, the Worm Queen knew that she must, not only be revived, but be revived the right way, and she could only think of a select few that were up to the task. Unfortunately, there was no possible way that she could reach Ballis, who was one of the first to use the Helminth strain of infested on humans in order to create warframes, he is a bit indisposed at the time. Luckily she had a capable and experienced doctor already at her disposal, so she tried to first make due with that, because the alternative was far more troublesome.

You may be wondering how the Worm Queen will be able to create the helminth strain of infested. Well the Grineer Queens were once Orokin. Both the worm queen and elder queen have overheard bits and pieces of the warframe building process from Ballis’ conversations with Silvana, which turned out to be all the information the worm queen needed to develop her own helminth strain, with the help of her grineer doctor.

The Grineer doctor was named “Dr. Tengus”. Dr. Tengus has ample experience with infested experimentation, he is even responsible for having created Grineer Gouls.

Dr Tengus and the Worm Queen worked very closely in attempting to find, not a solution, but the solution to the elder queen’s ailments. The Worm Queen took care of all necessary expenses. A private lab, lab assistants, and any other resources they may require. They worked day and night with little rest, well, not the Worm Queen, she simply came and went as she pleased. They worked and worked but got few results. Eventually the Worm Queen realized that they were making little progress, and so desperate measures needed to be taken.

Alad V…

Alad V once studied the infested in a search for some success in his swiftly declining career. While unsuccessful in that regard, he was able to develop a strain of infested called the Mutalist strain. This strain of infested has the ability to infect inorganic beings. This is exactly what they were missing.

With a combination of threats and bribery, the Worm Queen was able to convince Alad V to lend his expertise.

While Alad V did eventually help the Worm Queen in the search for a new body for the Elder Queen, his disgust for the Grineer made it impossible for him to work alongside them. He would work separately, then provide the Worm Queen with the results. Eventually, with a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains they were able to apply that mixture of disease to kuva and create Guen.

 

But Alad V was still opposed to the Grineer Queens having such a powerful weapon, so for each blueprint he helped develop, he made sure to keep a copy of it hidden away, somewhere that the queens would never find it, but unfortunately he had no part in constructing Guen’s main blueprint, that was created by the worm Queen and her scientists before Alad V got involved.

When Alad V finally got the chance he contacted the tenno, explained what was happening, and revealed where the first blueprint was hidden as payment for his protection. Although Alad V hated the tenno as well, right now they were the lesser evil, and it was in his best interest to make sure that the Elder Queen stays dead. And he knew that as soon as the Worm Queen finally got what she wanted she would have him executed.

Later the Worm Queen will reveal to both Alad V and the tenno, that she knew Alad V was plotting against her from the very beginning. It was all part of her plan. A way to lure the operator into a trap and have one less tenno to worry about.

If you place a disclaimer stating that you were not aware that the symbol was copyrighted and that you say its just a reference/inspiration to Guen's original ability Symbol; you will be alright.

Also, i wouldnt worry because when DE uses a fan concept that they really like, they will always make changes that are original to keep you and themselves safe from situations like unintentional copyright.

Clearly you had no intentions of plagiarism. Your concept is very original.

I mean her deluxe skin is inspired by Marvel Comic's Carnage. They only thing is that you didn't which is an honest error.

Just put a disclaimer that no infringement was intended when coming up with this concept. 😊

This post is meant for saving the most recent copies of my frame concept. I had a post like this in section 4 but it started to lag when I edited it. Too many words I guess. You'll find much older saves in section (page) 4.

Just so you know, warframe forums glitched. Every time I edit a post the picture sizes reset, so I had to delete most of the pictures featured in these saves. The section 4 saves have not been affected by this glitch because I haven't edited it since the glitch began. Luckily I found a work around, so the most recent saves are immune to the glitch.

(Note to myself: to copy and paste the entire topic properly, you must first put the entire topic in a spoiler tab (Doing this will preserve its formatting). Then just paste/ transfer the spoiler tab over to this post. And make sure you don't save the topic while it's in a spoiler tab.)

Saved versions:

These are just a backups of Guen's design, just in case I ever delete something I shouldn't have. (The top ones are the newest.)

Please feel free to post any ideas, feedback, thoughts, or questions you have about Guen.

And if you like this warframe idea, be sure to tell your friends and leave a like at the bottom of the post, thanks!

 

For DE:

Spoiler

If you decide to make this frame, or something like it, here is some information that may be useful:

Spoiler

1) There are older versions of this post saved at the bottom of page #6, and even older versions saved at the top of page #4. Some of the saves in page #4 are almost identical to one another, but there may still be some good ideas to work with in there.

2) Although I have created a sequel to Guen (Ferro, The Robotic Warframe), please don’t let that sway you. I really only made Ferro for fun. There's plenty of wiggle room in Guen's lore for you to cut Ferro out completely. Not that you would adapt Guen's story exactly (if at all), but still, just in case I made sure to keep it flexible.

3) I don’t know what all the rules are on plagiarism/ copyright, but I will say that this frame is yours to do whatever you wish. I made this frame to be in the game after all. Not based on what I wanted to see in the game, but rather what I thought would fit best into the Warframe universe and its gameplay.

4) If you are concerned about using the art of Guen in-game, don't be. I have asked all of the artists for Guen to also post their art in the "Featured Prime Time Display Images [OFFICIAL THREAD]" because in that thread it says: "By posting your images in this thread you grant us, Digital Extremes, permission to use your art in-game". This means you, DE, have the right to use any piece of art featured on this thread. If you would like to verify this, simply visit the 31st page of the prime time thread, here is a link for your convenience.

-->Things you should know about Guen:

Spoiler

- Health cost:

What you need to know:

Guen manipulates her own health in order to supplement her abilities.

Some of Guen's abilities will drain a percentage of her health, but once an ability has run its course, the health you spent on it will be refunded automatically. To make up for this, Guen uses up less energy than normal on each of her abilities. This means you have basically all the energy you need wherever you go, but if you spam your abilities you’re gonna end up killing yourself.

With the addition of strength mods (Example: Intensify) Guen is capable of healing, and even Overhealing, just by claiming ability refunds [(see "{Passive #2} 'Overhealth'" for more info)].

More info:

Spoiler

•Every time you spend health on an ability, a number will appear on the bottom right of your screen, above its corresponding symbol. This number represents the percent of your max health that you currently have invested in that ability. Meaning if I use “Cumulus Kuva” and only hit one enemy, there will be “3%” above the “Cumulus Kuva” symbol. As abilities are activated and refunded, this percentage will go up and down, but if an ability has been completely refunded, it will remain blank above the corresponding symbol until the next time Guen spends health on that ability.

•If you’re ever in serious danger of dying, and you still have some abilities active, you can choose to manually deactivate them and claim the refund. This would cause Guen to call back all of the Kuva you spent on that ability. Simply hold the ability activation button on any of her abilities to deactivate it, which would refund all of the health you spent on that particular ability.

•To prevent people from spamming Guen's deactivation feature and becoming invincible, deactivation has a cooldown of about 8 seconds for each ability.

•Mods that influence energy efficiency (Example: Streamline) will still affect Guen’s energy consumption, but these mods will have no effect on her abilities’ health consumption.

({This health cost idea was created with the help of “chris1pat8twins”, and developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

- Status effects:

What you need to know:

Guen gains status effects through valence fusion.

Guen can have any status effect, but only one at a time, and Guen can only obtain a status effect through valence fusion. This means that, if you have a Kuva weapon, you can fuse that weapon with Guen, then Guen will receive that weapon's status effect. She is technically a Kuva weapon after all.

More info:

•If you create a Kuva Lich using Guen, then the corresponding Kuva weapon will have the same type of bonus damage that Guen possesses at the time. (In other words, the type of status effect that Guen receives through valence fusion will transfer to any Kuva Lich she creates.) However, if Guen has not performed valence fusion, then her Kuva Lich's bonus damage will simply default to Impact damage.

•Guen can perform valence fusion using any Kuva weapon, and she can perform valence fusion an unlimited number of times. However, the status effect percentage does not stack for Guen like it does with normal Kuva weapons. Instead, Guen's status effect percentage will always match that of her most recent valence fusion.

•Guen will not have status effects in any of her abilities unless valence fusion is performed. Her abilities will still do damage without it, just not as much.

-|| Ability #1, “Cumulus Kuva”:

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 18 energy

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 3% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen shoots a small Kuva Cloud projectile forward, affecting small groups of up to about 3-5 enemies without the use of range mods.

Shooting an enemy with a Kuva Cloud disorients/ stuns it for a short time while also inflicting a status effect upon it (status effect determined by valence fusion [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)]).

More info:

Spoiler

•If an enemy is hit by 2 or more different Kuva Clouds, then the damage dealt upon that enemy will stack (Just to be clear: Activating "Cumulus Kuva" once= 1 Kuva Cloud, Activating "Cumulus Kuva" twice= 2 different Kuva Clouds).

•Holding the ability activation button for "Cumulus Kuva" will deactivate this ability.

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 0 energy

Health cost (Per ally affected): 9% (of Guen’s max health) [Non-refundable]

Guen's "Cumulus Kuva" ability cannot damage/ affect enemies when using this Augment Mod. Instead, Guen's Kuva Clouds will seek out the nearest ally, no matter how far, and heal that ally by 9% of Guen's max health.

More info:

Spoiler

•This Augment Mod has infinite range, so you can heal your allies from almost anywhere, but if your allies are too far away they may die before the Kuva Cloud gets to them.

•Guen can heal any type of ally with this Augment Mod, but long-distance healing will always prioritize fellow warframes above all other secondary allies. In order to heal a non-warframe ally with this ability, you would need to be within a few meters of said ally.

•Guen cannot receive any refunds from this ability while Curative Kuva is applied to it.

•This ability does not cost any energy when using this Augment Mod.

•The movement speed of the Kuva Clouds are affected by sprint speed mods.

•Ability strength does nothing to this ability when using this Augment Mod.

•Ability efficiency does nothing to this ability when using this Augment Mod.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Cumulus Kuva" will deactivate this ability. (This means that any Kuva Clouds which are still seeking their target will be deactivated, but there will be no refund because Guen's health does not get depleted until a Kuva Cloud actually reaches its target.)

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 36 energy

Health cost (Per ability activation): 6% (of Guen’s max health)

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 1% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen emits a flood of Kuva in every direction, violently knocking back any enemies within its radius while also inflicting a status effect upon them (status effect determined by valence fusion [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)]).

After this flood dissipates it will temporarily leave behind a large Kuva Puddle. This Kuva Puddle will continue to inflict status damage upon each enemy that sets foot within its radius.

More info:

Spoiler

•Any enemies who step onto a Kuva Puddle will be pulled slowly toward the center of the Kuva Puddle. Most enemies will be capable of escaping, but some will find escape quite difficult.

•If you attempt to place more than the max number of Kuva Puddles nothing will happen. Before placing additional Kuva Puddles, you would either need to manually deactivate them, or wait for one of them to deactivate on its own. Similar abilities in the game, such as Frost's "Snow Globe" ability, will deactivate the oldest one whenever there are too many, but this is not the case with Guen's Kuva Puddles.

More info:

Spoiler

•Without the use of mods, Guen can Overheal by first healing from external sources, then claiming the refund on her abilities. With nowhere else to go, the access health will simply be added onto her existing health in the form of Overhealth.

•With the addition of strength mods (Example: Intensify) Guen is capable of healing, and even Overhealing, just by claiming ability refunds. At 100% ability strength, ability refunds give her exactly as much as she invested. But at 130% ability strength, ability refunds give her 30% more health than she invested (Additional refunded health caps at +200%). This means that, if she has low health she can use her ability refund to save herself and heal back to a more comfortable level, and If she already has near max health she can use the refund to really boost her health over the top in the form of Overhealth.

•When an enemy is converted into a Kuva Thrall it will receive a minor armor buff.

•Guen can choose to kill one of her Kuva Thralls using her Parazon, doing this will not benefit Guen in any way. This feature only serves as a way of dismissing unwanted Kuva Thralls, nothing more.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls have a bright orange outline around them, unlike a Lich's Kuva Thralls which have a blue outline around them. This will prevent confusion for anyone that uses Guen in a Kuva Lich mission.

•Whenever the Operator exits Guen, all of Guen's Kuva Thralls will remain frozen and invincible until the Operator reenters Guen.

•If Guen's "Death Evasion" passive is activated, her Kuva Thralls won't save her. They don't count as active abilities, and therefore cannot be refunded. If Guen is downed, and the only thing active is a Kuva Thrall, then she will die, and so will her Kuva Thralls.

•Shooting one of Guen's Kuva Thralls with a Kuva Cloud will temporarily buff its damage.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls will always prioritize enemies that are being affected by Guen's “Cumulus Kuva” ability. The more Kuva Clouds cast on a single enemy, the more likely a Kuva Thrall is to target it.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls count as allies. This means Guen can use her "Health Siphon" ability to heal her Kuva Thralls. It also means that she can use her "Health Siphon" ability to grant her Kuva Thralls with Overhealth.

 

-Notes:

Spoiler

•While the Operator is within Guen, Guen's eye color (and her Kuva Thralls' eye colors) will match that of the Operator. Whenever you exit Guen, the color of her eyes (and her Kuva Thralls' eyes) will turn gray; absent and hallow, drained of all their vibrance and life. This symbolizes Guen's lack of individuality/ personality, as well as her reliance on the Tenno.

Visual aid:

 

•The Primed version of Guen isn't actually called "Guen Prime", instead it's called "Guen Preme" ("Preme" is short for "Supreme"). Basically, Guen can't possibly have a Primed variant; the timing is completely off and her lore simply doesn't allow it. For this reason, Guen doesn't have a "Primed" variant, instead she has a "Premed" variant. Preme frames are not quite as good as Prime frames, but they are still an improvement from their standard versions. However, unlike Prime frames, Preme frames do not receive energy when coming into contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb. But who knows, maybe they can do something else, something unique only to Preme frames. (How Preme frames are created is currently unknown)

•Guen Preme is actually a specific sub-type of Preme frame: "A Mutalist Preme Warframe". In theory, there can be up to 2, maybe even 3 other types of Preme frames, but as of right now the only type of Preme frame is the Mutalist Preme frame. (Other types of Preme frames may include: A Mutalist Preme frame created from a living organism, and a standard Preme frame created from a living organism)

•Similar to Kuva weapons, this frame’s max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per forma added).

•If you create a Kuva Lich using Guen, then the corresponding Kuva weapon will have the same type of bonus damage that Guen possesses at the time. (In other words, the type of status effect that Guen receives through valence fusion will transfer to any Kuva Lich she creates.) However, if Guen has not performed valence fusion, then her Kuva Lich's bonus damage will simply default to Impact damage [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)].

 

-Lore/ Backstory:

Spoiler

Kuva; unpredictable, dangerous, and mysterious. The Worm Queen just so happens to have an abundance of that very resource. The Elder Queen’s body may have died, but the Worm Queen knew that was not the end.

(I know that for some people the Elder Queen was left alive, but either way, the result remains the same. Because if the Elder Queen can be revived after death, then of course she can be revived before death.)

Death cannot truly come to the Elder Queen, because whenever the Elder Queen performs "Continuity" she uses a special Kuva called "Purple Kuva" (If you want to know more about "Continuity" & "Purple Kuva" just keep reading, you're in the right place).

The Elder Queen has had many bodies, she has seen the world through many pairs of eyes, and this was no different. After cheating death so many times already, it is unlikely that death will ever find her, even if she accepted it with open arms. The Elder Queen has been condemned to eternal existence, she just doesn’t know it yet.

Lucky for the Elder Queen, her sister (the Worm Queen) knew something that most others did not. She knew that even though the Elder Queen was dead she could be brought back. They call it “Continuity”, the process of using Kuva to transfer one consciousness into another.

The Worm Queen began to lay out a plan, a plan that would not only bring back the Elder Queen but effectively immortalize her for all of eternity. Using her vast Kuva reserve and Grineer servants, the Worm Queen began to design and construct her very own warframe, a vessel untouchable by age and unafraid of death.

But she couldn't do it alone. She could only think of a select few that were up to the task. Luckily a number of these select few were already working for her, one of which a Grineer doctor named Dr. Tengus (Dr. Tengus created the Grineer Ghouls). The Worm Queen had more than enough brilliant minds at her disposal, and so she decided to try and make do with that for now. She hoped that they would succeed so that she didn't have to go find outside help.

Dr. Tengus, the Worm Queen, and a few other Grineer scientists worked very closely in attempting to find, not a solution, but the solution to the Elder Queen’s ailments. The Worm Queen took care of all the necessary expenses. A private lab, lab assistants, and any other resources they may require. They worked day and night with little rest, well, not the Worm Queen, she simply came and went as she pleased. They worked and worked but got few results. Eventually, the Worm Queen realized that they were making little progress, and so desperate measures needed to be taken.

Alad V…

Alad V once studied the infested in a search for some success in his swiftly declining career. While unsuccessful in that regard, he was able to develop a strain of infested called the Mutalist strain. This strain of infested has the ability to infect inorganic beings. This is exactly what they were missing.

With a combination of threats and bribery, the Worm Queen was able to convince Alad V to lend his expertise.

While Alad V did eventually help the Worm Queen in the search for a new body for the Elder Queen, his disgust for the Grineer made it nearly impossible for him to work alongside them. But he persevered because he knew that cooperating would provide him with all the information he would need to recreate the experiment for himself.

After several tests on small droplets of Kuva, Alad V theorized that they may be able to create a warframe by applying a mixture of Mutalist and Helminth infestations to an inanimate object, and he was right, but he learned the hard way just how important it was to get the proportions right.

Why Helminth + Mutalist + Inorganic material = A warframe with no emotion or independent thought:

Spoiler

A Helminth strain: Operates independently and can be used to create warframes, but it cannot bind to inorganic material and its thoughts and behavior are difficult to suppress/ control effectively.

A Mutalist strain: Operates as a hive and cannot be used to create warframes, but it can bind to any material, organic or not. A Mutalist strain's behavior is also quite difficult to suppress/ control.

A Helminth strain combined with a Mutalist strain (With the correct proportions): The Helminth strain would bind to the organic matter found within the Mutalist infestation itself. The Helminth infested strain would then overtake the Mutalist infested strain, cutting it off from its hive. Also, by binding to the Mutalist strain, the Helminth strain is now able to bind to inorganic material, but since the Helminth strain is binding to inorganic matter, it is left without a personality to adopt as its own. Resulting in a completely emotionless warframe.

He began by testing his theory on a small sample of Kuva, but he used too much Mutalist infestation in the solution. Even though it was just a small sample, it became so violent it nearly ripped Alad V's head off right away. It was even more violent than any infested creature Alad V has seen so far. It's a miracle he was able to get out alive. In the end, they were able to contain and kill the creature. The Worm Queen also set up several safety precautions in preparation for the next experiment.

In Alad V's second test he fully expected to be eaten alive, but he didn't use enough Mutalist infestation in the solution this time. The sample just moved slightly, and instantly fell apart.

That was when Alad V realized; Too much Mutalist=violent, Not enough Mutalist=weak (this effect is specific to when it is used on an inanimate object). It took only 4 more tests before Alad V was able to perfect the Mutalist to Helminth Ratio. Sample #6, not too weak and not too aggressive, neutral in every sense of the word. Both a shell and a weapon, without any thoughts or feelings of its own. The perfect qualities for the Elder Queen's new body. Sample #6 is what paved the way for sample #7, later known as Guen.

Eventually, with a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains, they were able to apply that mixture of disease to Kuva and create Guen. A whole new breed of warframe, one that was never alive to begin with.

However, there was one flaw. While it was nearly invincible, it was still young and could not hold its shape for more than a few minutes. For this reason, a shell was created to brace the Kuva and maintain its shape. The shell also serves as a way to more effectively weaponize the Kuva within.

(You may be wondering how the Worm Queen would be able to create the Helminth strain of infested. Well, the Grineer Queens were once Orokin. The Worm Queen has overheard bits and pieces of the warframe building process from Ballis’ conversations with Silvana, which turned out to be all the information the Worm Queen needed to develop her own Helminth strain, with the help of her Grineer scientists of course.)

Although they were making progress, Alad V was still opposed to the Grineer Queens having such a powerful weapon. This is why Alad V kept tabs on where each of the blueprints were hidden.

When Alad V finally got the chance he contacted the Tenno, explained what was happening, and revealed where all of Guen's blueprints were hidden as payment for his protection. Although Alad V didn’t like the Tenno very much, right now they were the lesser evil, and it was in his best interest to make sure the Elder Queen stays dead. Also, he was almost certain that as soon as the Worm Queen finally got what she wanted, she would have him executed, so he didn't exactly have a choice. Unfortunately, Alad V had no idea that the Elder Queen was already being resurrected.

When the Worm Queen finally produced a viable replacement for the Elder Queen’s current body she wasted no time in presenting it to her, but then she remembered that the Elder Queen was still dead. The Worm Queen quickly got to work on transferring the Elder Queen's consciousness so that she could see what a great job the Worm Queen had done in making her new body.

But this was no typical transfer. Sure, the Worm Queen could have just used Red (Crimson) Kuva, but the Queens were far too clever for that. They knew better than to make the obvious choice. There was the choice between Blue Kuva (which is temporary) and Red Kuva (which is permanent), but the Queens decided long ago to make a third choice for themselves. By mixing Red Kuva with Blue Kuva the Queens were able to create Purple Kuva; extremely powerful, extremely rare, and extremely unstable. Purple Kuva begins to deteriorate as soon as it is made, and it does so even more quickly than an Argon Crystal. For this reason, most Orokin did not tamper with Purple Kuva, for if used incorrectly bad things happen. The first time an Orokin scientist experimented with Purple Kuva he died instantly with seemingly no hope of revival. This terrified the Orokin to no end. Since then the Orokin instituted a strict ban on Purple Kuva for fear of mortality, ironically the Orokin were overthrown and exterminated shortly after. Somehow the Queens managed to concoct their own Purple Kuva mixture (shout out to all the Grineer volunteers they killed in the process), and since the Orokin were long gone, there was nothing stopping them.

Sure, when done incorrectly the consequences are quite extreme, but the Queens did not see consequence, they saw opportunity, for when used correctly the results are quite impressive. Purple Kuva can transfer an Orokin consciousness into another body permanently, just like Red Kuva. But, unlike Red Kuva, if the Orokin dies while within its new body, its soul and consciousness will be preserved and returned to its previous body, where they will remain until they are provided with another vessel.

When the Elder Queen finally came to in her new skin, she was disoriented and confused at first. The Elder Queen saw that the Worm Queen seemed really excited about something, but she didn't know what, and frankly she didn’t care at the time.

It took a little while for the Elder Queen to finally understand what was happening, but once she did there was no stopping her. The Elder Queen knew that this discovery would change EVERYTHING, and now nothing could stand in her way, not even the Tenno.

The Elder Queen then attempts to say something. Odds are she was going to say something like, "You've done well... worm", which probably would have made the Worm Queen very happy, despite the backhanded nature of the compliment. But when the Elder Queen tries to speak, nothing happens. "Umm, we can fix that..." Says the Worm Queen.

There was an adjustment period for the Elder Queen. Being dead for so long took its toll. She had to learn how to walk again, and it didn’t come easy. It made her furious not being able to do something so simple, each stumble made her livid with rage. And the inability to speak only made conditions even worse for her. But once she finally got her bearings the Elder Queen got right to work on harnessing her newfound abilities. Still, the Elder Queen never forgave the Worm Queen for failing to provide her with a mouth, and the Worm Queen never did get around to fixing her mistake.

Even though the Worm Queen had already fulfilled her primary objective, which was to revive the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will continue to collect Kuva. She never stops collecting Kuva because she keeps thinking of new ways to use it to her advantage. The Worm Queen has no shortage of ideas, and she’s already begun to make some of those ideas a reality.

-{Acquisition #3} Quest, "The Kuva Queen":

After having successfully completed 3 Kuva Flood missions, you will get a new quest called “The Kuva Queen”. Completing this Quest will reward you with Guen's main blueprint and 15,000 Kuva.

More info:

Spoiler

•After accepting this quest you will get a message from Alad V, who is now reluctantly working for the Worm Queen to help build an extremely dangerous weapon. He whispers his message so he isn’t overheard. He says that we’re all in danger and that if anyone found out about this message he would surely be killed.

•He warns you about Guen and says that if you don’t act fast the consequences of this creation will be catastrophic, except he doesn’t call her “Guen”. In the “Kuva Queen” quest. Guen doesn’t officially get a name until the quest is completed. Instead, any time someone refers to Guen, they say “it” or “the warframe” or “the beast”.

•Anyway, he tells you that luckily the warframe is yet to be built, so there’s still time. He tells you that the Worm Queen has hidden some of the warframe's blueprints in various Grineer bases, but in exchange for their location he wants freedom. He is afraid that as soon the Worm Queen learns of his betrayal he will be executed. He quickly tells you his current location. Then you hear the voice of someone else, and with a fearful voice Alad V responds “Nothing, just talking to myself” and the message cuts off.

(The first 4 quest missions may seem a bit too easy, but the enemies in each of those missions will be pretty high level. So if the mission itself isn’t challenging enough, the enemies will make up for it.)

 

{Quest mission, 1} (Alad V):

This mission will begin as a rescue mission and end as an extermination mission.

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission, you will be tasked with rescuing Alad V and escorting him to extraction. Once you have rescued Alad V simply exterminate all remaining enemies and extract.

(The reason you need to exterminate all of the enemies after every mission is to make sure that the Worm Queen is never made aware of your plans.)

 

{Quest mission, 2} (Chassis):

The chassis blueprint mission will begin as a sabotage mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin the mission, you will be tasked with stealing the chassis blueprint, only the Worm Queen has separated it into 5 fragments for increased security. There will be 5 different markers on the mini-map, each directing you to a different chassis blueprint fragment. Simply find and steal each one, and kill the remaining enemies.

•Once you have completed the Guen chassis mission you will return to your orbiter, where you will destroy the chassis blueprint to make sure that the Grineer Queens never get their hands on it.

(The chassis blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 3} (Neuroptics):
The neuroptics blueprint mission will begin as a mobile defense mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission, your objective will be to steal the Guen neuroptics blueprint, only, this blueprint has already been uploaded to several different sources digitally, and such an elaborate blueprint takes time to extract.

•You’ll have to deliver payloads and defend a number of locations while the Lotus extracts all records of the neuroptics blueprint from Grineer servers. Once you have done that, all that will be left to do is eliminate the remaining enemies and head to extraction.

•Once you return to your orbiter you will delete the Guen neuroptics blueprint.

(The neuroptics blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 4} (Systems):
The systems blueprint mission will begin as a stealth mission and end as an extermination mission. But the stealth portion isn't what you'd expect, it will be more like the mastery rank 9 test.

More info:

Spoiler

•Each enemy will be provided with their own communication systems for increased security. This means that if anyone detects you, they will alert all of the other enemies, as well as their Queen. Meaning not only is the Worm Queen now aware of your plans, but the other enemies have been prompted to hide and secure the blueprint. Making the mission a complete failure.

•So, at the beginning of the mission, before stealing the blueprint, your task will be; Get to their communication controls, hack them, and disable them, all without being seen. Then simply steal the systems blueprint, exterminate the remaining enemies, and head to extraction.

•Once you return to the orbiter you will destroy the Guen systems blueprint.

(The system blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 5} (Blueprint):
The Guen blueprint mission is just an assassination mission. And, according to Alad V, it is the last mission you’ll need to do in order to neutralize the threat.

More info:

Spoiler

•Alad V will tell you that you have to kill the Worm Queen to steal the final traces of Guen because she keeps the main blueprint on her at all times.

•When you finally get to the Worm Queen she seems caught off guard. She’ll say “Tenno! What are you doing here! How ever did you find me!” Then the Operator will give a powerful speech about justice and whatnot, then once the speech is done, the Operator will fire a shot at the Worm Queen in an attempt to begin the fight, but the blast goes right through her.

•The void blast leaves behind a small flicker in the place where it should have pierced the Worm Queen. “It’s a hologram!” Says the Operator. A brief closeup of the small device projecting it from above is shown, confirming his theory.

•A large evil smile begins to form on her face. “Do you really think I’m that stupid Tenno?!” She says, "All this time you’ve spent plotting behind my back, sabotaging my plans, DESTROYING MY KUVA SIPHONS!! *sigh* (she takes a moment to calm down a bit) Now it’s my turn Tenno."

•"That's right! I knew all along that Alad V would betray me. It was all part of my diabolical plan! Oh, I almost forgot! You may not be able to recognize her at first, but I brought an old friend that just can’t wait to see you, Isn’t that right sis?” That was when Guen, or rather, the Elder Queen, stepped into view. She almost looked as though her blood was being pumped into her from the outside.

•The Elder Queen only stares at the Operator intensely for a moment while gesturing subtly. The Operator remains thoroughly confused. Frustrated, the Elder Queen looks back at the Worm Queen harshly. "Oh! Oops, sorry... I forgot." Says the Worm Queen, finally remembering that the Elder Queen needs a translator because she no longer has a mouth of her own to speak with. "Anyway, she said... *the Worm Queen clears her throat and tries to do her best Elder Queen impression* “Hello Tenno... did you Miss me?”. The Elder Queen glances at the Worm Queen sharply. "I said I'm sorry! I swear I did the best I could with what I had!" Says the Worm Queen. The Elder Queen gestures aggressively. "Yeah, a mouth is one thing, but you have no idea how difficult vocal cords are to make!" The Elder Queen gestures once more dismissively. "Fine, I guess we'll talk about this later then."

•The Operator stares in disbelief as they argue. She must be an imposter he thinks, there's no way that's really her... right? But then he looks into her eyes, her eyes are identical to that of the Elder Queen (A brief flashback of the Elder Queen’s face just before her previous death plays, as a way to fill the player in on what the Operator is thinking) “It's really her...”

•The Operator, filled with shock, fear, and rage knows not what to do. So he simply drops to the floor with defeat. “All of that work, for nothing” he mumbles to himself. He had done everything within his power to bury the Elder Queen for good, yet it wasn’t enough.

•“Awww, look sister. He's sad... oh well, anyway, enough drama.” Says the Worm Queen “The reason I--" The Elder Queen smacks her in the back of the head "Uhh, the reason WE lured you here is... TO WATCH YOU DIE! Muahahahahahaha!” Suddenly the Worm Queen stops laughing and her face hardens as she gazes upon the Operator, still wallowing in his defeat. She stares at him with pure hatred in her eyes, but only for a moment.

•The Worm Queen then violently slams on a button on her end of the hologram. Suddenly all of the doors around him slam shut. The words “SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED!” blast the Operator’s eardrums from every direction, but he hardly even notices. “Good luck Tenno!” Says the Worm Queen as she chuckles.

•The room around him begins to shake violently, fires start to spread, everything starts to fall apart, and a countdown timer gets displayed on the bottom of the screen, but the Operator remains on the floor with his head down.

•“Operator! Operator!! Please get up! Can’t you see you’re in danger!” Pleads Ordis, but the Operator hardly moves a muscle. As Ordis pleads and pleads the Operator begins to slowly raise his head, and Ordis’ voice slowly fades away until there is nothing left but silence. The Operator looks directly at the Queens with extreme intensity and says, “I will find you”. The Elder Queen Remains unfazed, but the Worm Queen shows a hint of fear for only a moment. Then the Operator quickly shoots the device projecting the hologram, cutting off its signal.

•He then slowly picks himself back up and Ordis’ voice slowly fades back in. “OPERATOR PLEASE!!! OPERA— Oh! thank goodness, for a moment there I was sure I had lost you! I was so worr—” “What’s the plan Ordis” the Operator says bluntly “Oh, yes of course Operator, I found an alternate exit while you were— um... I’ve taken the liberty of marking it on your minimap” “Thanks Ordis”.

•Then just head to extraction before the timer hits zero and you have completed the first Guen blueprint mission.

•When you finally get back to your orbiter it will say “mission success: summary”, then display the quest completion message, only it will say “Quest Incomplete, The Kuva Queen”. It will seem as though you had lost, it will seem as though that were the last mission, but then Ordis will say, “Operator, I am detecting some unusual activity on *so and so planet*” That’s when you will begin the final mission of the “Kuva Queen” quest.

{Quest mission, 6} (Blueprint, for real this time):
All that you have left to do is track down the Elder Queen in her new form and kick her out of Guen, only she’s super powerful now.

More info:

Spoiler

Defeating the elder Queen in this form will be very similar to defeating a Kuva Lich, but there are a few key differences:

Spoiler

-Unlike Kuva Liches, the Elder Queen is immune to Requiem mods and Parazons. The Elder Queen can only be defeated by using transference on her 3 times (meaning there's no guessing involved). Doing this will loosen the Elder Queen's grip just enough to separate her from Guen.

-The Elder Queen's Kuva Thralls will not provide the player with Requiem Murmurs. However, they do still have a chance of dropping Requiem relics.

-When you go into the Elder Queen's Kuva Lich information menu; weaknesses, resistances, and all other potentially useful information about her will be illegible. It will be full of question marks, scribbles, and all sorts of random symbols where the actual information should be.

-The areas claimed by the Elder Queen will be highlighted orange instead of red, and the Elder Queen's Kuva Thralls will have a dark orange outline around them instead of a blue one. This will prevent confusion for anyone who has a Kuva Lich while completing this quest.

-Unlike Kuva Liches, the Elder Queen cannot be converted... obviously.

 

Basically everything else about this fight is the same as a Kuva Lich fight:

1) Kill Kuva Thralls to draw her out

2) Once you've drawn her out, lower her health and go for the kill

3) Repeat steps 1 & 2

4) Repeat steps 1 & 2 again

5) Victory!

 

•Once you have weakened the Elder Queen enough, you’ll be prompted to use transference on her one last time. Once you do, you will transfer into Guen, pushing out the Elder Queen. Unfortunately, the Elder Queen trying her best to resist causes severe damage to Guen during transference, leaving behind nothing but Guen’s main blueprint.

•While the Elder Queen had once again been defeated, this was not the end. Just as the Elder Queen was being forced out of Guen she said something like: “You may have beaten me for now Tenno! But the war has only just begun.” Then she vanished like a ghost.

•Once you have kicked the Elder Queen out of Guen, all that's left to do is grab Guen's blueprint and head to extraction.

•When you get back to your orbiter you’ll be greeted with a proper quest completion message saying “Quest Complete, The Kuva Queen” and a congrats from Ordis. Also, after completing the “Kuva Queen” quest, you will receive a message from Alad V. As an extra thanks he sends you a little something that he stole from the Queens:  15,000.

•Then it will just be the Operator and Ordis talking amongst themselves. The Operator proceeds to ask Ordis, “So, what should we name her?”, and Ordis responds, “You want to name it?! But why Operator?! Didn’t it try to kill you?” “No, it didn’t try to kill me, the Queens did, and we have to call it something, we can’t just keep calling it, 'it' all the time.” “Operator, please tell me you’re not thinking of rebuilding that thing, what if it’s a trap?! What if they wanted this to happen?!” “It’s not Ordis, trust me.” “Well, if you must name it, how about; DEVIL!, DEMON SPAWN!, EVIL!, GARBAGE!, NOT TO BE TRUSTED!, Guen... TOILET WATER! MURDERER! GARBA—” “Whoa, back up a little.” “Yes of course Operator; TOILET WATER! MURD—” “No no, before that, Guen, that’s not bad. Yeah, Guen, I like it.” "YUCK! Guen is a STUPID name, whoever came up with that should go DIE! also...”

 

-Future story:

Spoiler

Once you finally throw the Elder Queen out of Guen, her soul and mind will travel back to her previous corpse. They will remain trapped there until she is provided with a new body. (This is a result of the Purple Kuva [(See "Lore/ Backstory" for more info)])

...Meanwhile, Alad V is putting together his very own warframe. And its name is Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist frame #2), another frame concept of mine. Here's the link:

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1223753-ferro-the-robotic-warframe-🤖-mutalist-frame-2/

 

Long after the discovery of Guen and the defeat of the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will begin to construct her second Kuva beast, one far more powerful than the last, similar at its core, yet different in every way. Evolved.

The Elder Queen is not in this one. This time the Worm Queen created a weapon that she can control remotely. She wants to get the Tenno out of the way before bringing the Elder Queen back once again.

This Kuva Creation will have mechanical tentacles, metal claws, and other attachments which add to its evil sinister vibe. It will also have pitch-black eyes. Its eyes make it appear much more dead than alive. And this new evil Kuva creation has no name. It will never have a name because this time you don't get to bring it home and name it. Once you have defeated it there will be no blueprints for you to salvage.

This new Kuva weapon is going to be much bigger and stronger than Guen, all of its abilities/ attacks will be completely different, and it will be defeated in a vastly different way. It will be more like a boss than a Lich. This boss will spawn on a new node in the Kuva Fortress, but only while "Guen Preme" is unvaulted.

--> [(If you're wondering why "Guen Prime" is called "Guen Preme" there is a full explanation in the "Notes" tab)] <--

Upon defeating this boss there is a chance that it will drop one of Guen Preme's blueprints. This is the only way of getting Guen Preme's blueprints, unless you trade for them. (This boss is only available while Guen Preme is unvaulted).

After having destroyed the Worm Queen's second fancy Kuva suit, it will be clear that the Worm Queen is far more cunning and dangerous than she appears, and the only way to make this madness stop would be to kill the Worm Queen. But you never get the chance (You can’t because then that would mean the end of Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions).

 

When you finally build Guen Preme, her appearance will slightly resemble that of the monster you retrieved her blueprints from, but of course, Guen Preme will also slightly resemble Guen, the very first of her kind. Now, although they are similar, that does not make them the same. Here are a few things that set them apart:

1) Guen Preme is mostly light red, unlike Guen, who has more of a deep red color to her.

2) Whenever the Operator exits Guen Preme, the color of her eyes (and her Kuva Thralls' eyes) will turn pitch-black, instead of gray like Guen. This suggests that Guen Preme is even more compliant and emotionless than Guen. Does this mean that the standard Guen has at least some remanence of a soul? Evidence of this has yet to be seen, but maybe... just maybe...

3) Guen Preme has several metallic enhancements. These metallic enhancements have a faint, yet noticeable, tint of gold to them, as well as a much more noticeable tint of silver. Each of these metallic enhancements protrude out of her body in a seemingly random fashion, but something tells me it is not as random as it appears. Whether or not these enhancements will directly impact Guen Preme's gameplay is unknown.

 

Long after having killed the Worm Queen's second Kuva creature, the Elder Queen will return once again. This time, the body that the Elder Queen resurfaces in will be a bit different from the last. Instead of a new Kuva warframe with which to fight off the Tenno and take over the world, this time, it’s more of a computer-Kuva hybrid.

In this new vessel the Elder Queen will look kind of like Cephalon Simaris, but with some strong identifying features. The Elder Queen will be hooked up to a bunch of big messy wires and huge clunky monitors, all of which are covered in Kuva.

The Operator will be told to fight another evil Kuva creature, under the impression that it is the Elder Queen’s new body. But defeating it comes far too easily and the Operator gets suspicious. As the Operator continues to investigate his suspicions, he eventually learns the truth. The Elder Queen is no longer of one mind, and that creature was no warframe, it was one of the Worm Queen's latest inventions.

The Worm Queen has built for the Elder Queen a cyber-neural command center with which she can remotely control hundreds of her Grineer soldiers simultaneously. In other words, she created an entire army of mindless Kuva infused Grineer which the Elder Queen can control from a distance. These Grineer are far more powerful than regular Grineer, but they’re also a bit dumber, so they miss a lot (The Elder Queen can only focus on so many things at once). They kind of look like Guen's deluxe skin, but in the shape of Grineer, and each one of them have red eyes, almost identical to the Elder Queen's.

You will try to blow up the computer she now resides in, with a little help from Rex (The new Corpus leader, formerly known as "Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist frame #2)"), but you quickly realize that she can simply transfer her consciousness to a different computer instantly.

She’s a hive mind now, and there appears to be no way of stopping her. But you will never stop trying, because once you get to the Elder Queen, you dismantle her entire army of Grineer puppets, and you leave the Worm Queen completely vulnerable. This would provide you with a chance to end it all for good. The death of the Worm Queen would finally mark the end of one of the Tenno’s biggest threats. But of course, this could never happen. It would only get very close. The Worm Queen will always escape somehow, again and again, always renewing the never-ending cycle. The endless struggle between the Queens, and the Tenno.

 

Long after the Elder Queen's failed assassination, the Elder Queen began to desire more than power alone, she wanted revenge, and there just so happened to be a way of obtaining both... Rex.

Control Rex = revenge & power.  If the Elder Queen were able to control Rex, not only would she be rid of her most recent enemy, she would also have complete control over the Corpus. And if she played her cards right, maybe she could use the combination of Grineer and Corpus forces to bring down the Tenno. Sure, controlling a warframe that has a mind of its own would normally be too difficult, especially over long distances, but Rex is a robot, and robots can be hacked into.

The Elder Queen shared her plan with the Worm Queen and tasked her with finding a way to invade Rex's mind. The Worm Queen gathered all of their most competent hackers/ technicians and got to work on upgrading the Elder Queen's computer with highly intense Corpus hacking capabilities.

After just a few days the Elder Queen's new weapon was ready for use, and the Elder Queen wasted little time. The Elder Queen was able to successfully hack into Rex using her new electronic weapon, and her first act as Corpus puppet master was to declare war on the Tenno alongside the Grineer.

Unfortunately for the Elder Queen, the Corpus were able to quickly figure out what was happening. Maybe it was allying with the Grineer, or waging war on the Tenno, or the fact that Rex's eyes had suddenly turned red, but whatever it was that tipped them off, the Corpus were not happy about it. They had just begun to warm up to their new leader, so they weren't going to just let the Queens come in and ruin everything.

The first thing they needed to do was restrain Rex so that they could get the Elder Queen out of his head, but they couldn't do that alone since the Elder Queen had taken control of all their robotics. They decided to call up the Tenno and ask them to beat up their possessed leader.

After successfully defeating Rex, the Operator uses transference to help Rex break free from the Elder Queen's grasp. Once free, and the Queen's diabolical plan foiled, Rex fortified his mind to prevent any future attempts to break into his mind. From now on, no one will be able to control or hack into Rex, not even the Tenno.

 

-Trivia:

Spoiler

•Guen is short for Sanguen, which is an old Latin word for blood (To make life easier for all the fact-checkers out there; the word "sanguen" can be found on a site called "online-latin-dictionary.com", which claims to be "the largest and most complete online Latin dictionary").

•Guen is a whole new breed of warframe. Unlike the other warframes, Guen was never alive, even before being turned into a warframe. She was created when a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains were applied to Kuva. Just as Excalibur Umbra is the first Umbra frame, Guen is the first Mutalist frame.

•There has yet to be a Mutalist warframe that was created from a living organism. It is possible, it just hasn't been done yet.

•Since Guen is an inanimate object she is unable to feel emotion and she cannot think for herself. Luckily the Operator will always be there to do all of the thinking for her.

•Guen is the first frame to have a "Premed" variant instead of a "Primed" variant. Guen's lore doesn't really allow for a Primed variant, but it does allow for an enhanced version of the standard Guen, which is exactly what Guen Preme is. Preme frames are not as powerful as Prime frames, but they're not too far behind. ("Preme" is short for "Supreme" by the way) [(More info on "Preme frames" can be found in the "Notes" tab.)]

•Guen Preme is actually a specific sub-type of Preme frame: "A Mutalist Preme Warframe". In theory, there can be up to 2, maybe even 3 other types of Preme frames, but as of right now the only type of Preme frame is the Mutalist Preme frame.

•The reason Guen’s deluxe skin is called “Lakshmi” is because Kuva, in Sanskrit, means lotus. And the name “Lakshmi” belongs to a Hindu goddess who is often associated with the lotus flower and is even sometimes referred to as the lotus goddess.

•Guen is the first and only warframe to have a max rank of 40.

•Guen is the first and only warframe capable of performing valence fusion.

•Guen is the first warframe that does not have definitive polarities.

•Guen is the first and only warframe to have Overhealth capabilities.

For WF Forums staff: (Special request)

Spoiler

I would like to be able to edit this thread even after it is time to archive it.

This would allow me to keep this frame's lore consistent with warframe's lore as it continues to develop in the future. Otherwise, Guen's lore will be complete nonsense in just a few years. I know you may not be able to grant me this request, but I have a few ideas as to how you could do it, assuming you're willing:

1) Feature this thread?

Based on some of the other featured threads that I have seen in WF forums, featured threads don't get archived. I don't know why/ how a thread qualifies as a "feature worthy" thread, but even if my frame concept does not meet that standard, I hope you will still make an exception. (I know it's a big ask, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway)

2) Simply prevent this thread from getting archived?

I don't even know if this is possible, but I saw some very old threads that still have yet to be archived. My theory is that those threads were made before the archive feature was added to forums, but just in case Moderators do in fact have the power to disable archiving, that is what I would like for this thread.

Edit: I just noticed that ALL of the threads have been unarchived. However, I don’t know if this is a permanent change or a momentary error, so I will leave this “special request” here just in case.

3) When it comes time to archive this thread, can you lock it instead?

Based on what I've seen on other threads; a locked thread can be unlocked at any time by a Moderator, and a locked thread cannot be archived. This would allow me to request that my thread be temporarily unlocked from time to time, allowing me to update my frame's storyline in the event that the game's lore develops in a way that I had not anticipated. This would of course be a rare request (once every few years maybe), I wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone.

*If you are a forums Moderator please message me in response to one of the following questions: Are any of the options I mentioned actually viable? Is there a different/ better solution that I failed to mention? Is my request just completely unrealistic and thus has no chance of actually happening? Whatever the answer is, I'd really appreciate some information on the subject, thanks!*

 

For DE, if they decide to make this frame:

Spoiler

1) There are older versions of this post saved in page #7, and even older versions saved in page #4. Some of the saves in page #4 are almost identical to one another, but there may still be some good ideas to work with in there.

2) Although I have created a sequel to Guen (Ferro, The Robotic Warframe), please don’t feel like you need to either make both of them or none at all. If I had to choose one I would choose Guen every time, and the lore has enough wiggle room for you to cut Ferro out completely.

3) I don’t know what all the rules are on plagiarism/ copyright, but I will say that this frame is yours to do whatever you wish, so long as I get credit for the part I played in its creation. I made this frame to be in the game after all. Not based on what I wanted to see in the game, but rather what I thought would fit best into the Warframe universe and its gameplay.

4) If you are concerned about using the art of Guen in-game, don't be. I have asked all of the artists for Guen to also post their art in the "Featured Prime Time Display Images [OFFICIAL THREAD]" because in that thread it says: "By posting your images in this thread you grant us, Digital Extremes, permission to use your art in-game". This means you, DE, have the right to use any piece of art featured on this thread. If you would like to verify this, simply visit the 31st page of the prime time thread, here is a link for your convenience.

-->Things you should know about Guen:

Spoiler

- Health cost:

What you need to know:

Guen manipulates her own health in order to supplement her abilities.

Some of Guen's abilities will drain a percentage of her health, but once an ability has run its course, the health you spent on it will be refunded automatically. To make up for this, Guen uses up less energy than normal on each of her abilities. This means you have basically all the energy you need wherever you go, but if you spam your abilities you’re gonna end up killing yourself.

With the addition of strength mods (Example: Intensify) Guen is capable of healing, and even Overhealing, just by claiming ability refunds [(see "{Passive #2} 'Overhealth'" for more info)].

More info:

Spoiler

•Every time you spend health on an ability, a number will appear on the bottom right of your screen, above its corresponding symbol. This number represents the percent of your max health that you currently have invested in that ability. Meaning if I use “Cumulus Kuva” and only hit one enemy, there will be “3%” above the “Cumulus Kuva” symbol. As abilities are activated and refunded, this percentage will go up and down, but if an ability has been completely refunded, it will remain blank above the corresponding symbol until the next time Guen spends health on that ability.

•If you’re ever in serious danger of dying, and you still have some abilities active, you can choose to manually deactivate them and claim the refund. This would cause Guen to call back all of the Kuva you spent on that ability. Simply hold the ability activation button on any of her abilities to deactivate it, which would refund all of the health you spent on that particular ability.

•To prevent people from spamming Guen's deactivation feature and becoming invincible, deactivation has a cooldown of about 8 seconds for each ability.

•Mods that influence energy efficiency (Example: Streamline) will still affect Guen’s energy consumption, but these mods will have no effect on her abilities’ health consumption.

({This health cost idea was created with the help of “chris1pat8twins”, and developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

({Art by: Dan_Dagazz})

- Status effects:

What you need to know:

Guen gains status effects through valence fusion.

Guen can have any status effect, but only one at a time, and Guen can only obtain a status effect through valence fusion. This means that, if you have a Kuva weapon, you can fuse that weapon with Guen, then Guen will receive that weapon's status effect. She is technically a Kuva weapon after all.

More info:

Spoiler

•If you create a Kuva Lich using Guen, then the corresponding Kuva weapon will have the same type of bonus damage that Guen possesses at the time. (In other words, the type of status effect that Guen receives through valence fusion will transfer to any Kuva Lich she creates.) However, if Guen has not performed valence fusion, then her Kuva Lich's bonus damage will simply default to Impact damage.

•Guen can perform valence fusion using any Kuva weapon, and she can perform valence fusion an unlimited number of times. However, the status effect percentage does not stack for Guen like it does with normal Kuva weapons. Instead, Guen's status effect percentage will always match that of her most recent valence fusion.

•Guen will not have status effects in any of her abilities unless valence fusion is performed. Her abilities will still do damage without it, just not as much.

({This valence fusion idea was developed with the help of “Novashank”})

 

 

-|| Ability #1, “Cumulus Kuva”:

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 18 energy

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 3% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen shoots a small Kuva Cloud projectile forward, affecting small groups of up to about 3-5 enemies without the use of range mods.

Shooting an enemy with a Kuva Cloud disorients/ stuns it for a short time while also inflicting a status effect upon it (status effect determined by valence fusion [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)]).

More info:

Spoiler

•If an enemy is hit by 2 or more different Kuva Clouds, then the damage dealt upon that enemy will stack (Just to be clear: Activating "Cumulus Kuva" once= 1 Kuva Cloud, Activating "Cumulus Kuva" twice= 2 different Kuva Clouds).

•Holding the ability activation button for "Cumulus Kuva" will deactivate this ability.

(Once this ability has either run its course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

 

ABILITY SYNERGY:

-Ability #2, "Flood":

•If an enemy is standing within a Kuva Puddle, the damage & duration of "Cumulus Kuva" on that enemy will be increased.

-Ability #4, "Reprisal":

•Holding the activation button for "Reprisal" will deactivate all active abilities (including "Cumulus Kuva").

-{Passive #1} "Death Evasion":

•If Guen ever runs out of health, so long as some of her abilities (such as "Cumulus Kuva") are still active, she won’t bleed out. Instead, the Kuva from her active abilities will rush there to replenish her health.

-{Passive #2} "Overhealth":

•Guen is capable of healing, and even Overhealing, just by claiming ability refunds.

-{Passive #3} "Guen's Kuva Thralls":

•Shooting one of Guen's Kuva Thralls with a Kuva Cloud will temporarily buff its damage.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls will always prioritize enemies that are being affected by Guen's “Cumulus Kuva” ability. The more Kuva Clouds cast on a single enemy, the more likely a Kuva Thrall is to target it.

-Augment Mod #1:

Spoiler

 "Curative Kuva" (Cumulus Kuva Augment):

Ability activation limit: 5 Kuva Clouds (Guen can have no more than 5 Kuva Clouds actively searching for their target at the same time)

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 0 energy

Health cost (Per ally affected): 9% (of Guen’s max health) [Non-refundable]

Guen's "Cumulus Kuva" ability cannot damage/ affect enemies when using this Augment Mod. Instead, Guen's Kuva Clouds will seek out the nearest ally, no matter how far, and heal that ally by 9% of Guen's max health.

More info:

Spoiler

•This Augment Mod has infinite range, so you can heal your allies from almost anywhere, but if your allies are too far away they may die before the Kuva Cloud gets to them.

•Guen can heal any type of ally with this Augment Mod, but long-distance healing will always prioritize fellow warframes above all other secondary allies. In order to heal a non-warframe ally with this ability, you would need to be within a few meters of said ally.

•Guen cannot receive any refunds from this ability while Curative Kuva is applied to it.

•This ability does not cost any energy when using this Augment Mod.

•The movement speed of the Kuva Clouds are affected by sprint speed mods.

•Ability strength does nothing to this ability when using this Augment Mod.

•Ability efficiency does nothing to this ability when using this Augment Mod.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Cumulus Kuva" will deactivate this ability. (This means that any Kuva Clouds which are still seeking their target will be deactivated, but there will be no refund because Guen's health does not get depleted until a Kuva Cloud actually reaches its target.)

 

augment synergy:

-Ability #2, "Flood": (N/A when using this augment)

-Ability #4, "Reprisal":

•Holding the activation button for "Reprisal" will deactivate all active abilities (including "Cumulus Kuva").

-{Passive #1} "Death Evasion": (N/A when using this augment)

-{Passive #2} "Overhealth":

•If affected allies already have near full health, then the access health will be added on as Overhealth instead.

-{Passive #3} "Guen's Kuva Thralls":

•Guen's Kuva Thralls count as allies. This means Guen can use her "Curative Kuva" to heal her Kuva Thralls. It also means that she can use her "Curative Kuva" to grant her Kuva Thralls with Overhealth. Although, long-distance healing will always prioritize fellow warframes above all other secondary allies. In order to heal a Kuva Thrall with this ability, you would need to be within a few meters of said Kuva Thrall.

 

 

-|| Ability #2, “Flood”:

Ability activation limit: 4 Kuva Puddles (Guen can have no more than 4 Kuva Puddles active at the same time)

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 36 energy

Health cost (Per ability activation): 6% (of Guen’s max health)

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 1% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen emits a flood of Kuva in every direction, violently knocking back any enemies within its radius while also inflicting a status effect upon them (status effect determined by valence fusion [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)]).

After this flood dissipates it will temporarily leave behind a large Kuva Puddle. This Kuva Puddle will continue to inflict status damage upon each enemy that sets foot within its radius.

More info:

Spoiler

•Any enemies who step onto a Kuva Puddle will be pulled slowly toward the center of the Kuva Puddle. Most enemies will be capable of escaping, but some will find escape quite difficult.

•If you attempt to place more than the max number of Kuva Puddles nothing will happen. Before placing additional Kuva Puddles, you would either need to manually deactivate them, or wait for one of them to deactivate on its own. Similar abilities in the game, such as Frost's "Snow Globe" ability, will deactivate the oldest one whenever there are too many, but this is not the case with Guen's Kuva Puddles. The reason for this is to prevent players from bypassing the deactivation cooldown.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Flood" will deactivate this ability.

(Once this ability has either run its course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

({This ability was developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

•Guen is capable of healing, and even Overhealing, just by claiming ability refunds.

-Augment Mod #2:

Spoiler

 "Kuva Pool" (Flood Augment):

Ability activation limit: 2 Kuva Puddle (Guen can only have 2 Kuva Puddle active at a time when using this augment)

Ability stacking limit: 5 (Guen can stack her Kuva Puddles on top of one another up to 5 times when using this augment)

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 36 energy

Health cost (Per ability activation): 6% (of Guen’s max health)

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 1% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen is now able to stack her Kuva Puddles on top of one another. Stacking a Kuva Puddle will not only add to the life span of that Kuva Puddle, but it will also increase its damage and range.

More info:

Spoiler

•The health stacked onto a Kuva Puddle won't be refunded until the Kuva Puddle as a whole is no longer active.

•Any enemies who step onto a Kuva Puddle will be pulled slowly toward the center of the Kuva Puddle. Most enemies will be capable of escaping, but some will find escape quite difficult. However, by stacking Guen's Kuva Puddles you strengthen their grip on nearby enemies, making escape far more difficult with each stack.

•If you attempt to place more than the max number of Kuva Puddles nothing will happen. Before placing additional Kuva Puddles, you would either need to manually deactivate them, or wait for one of them to deactivate on its own. Similar abilities in the game, such as Frost's "Snow Globe" ability, will deactivate the oldest one automatically whenever there are too many, but this is not the case with Guen's Kuva Puddles. The reason for this is to prevent players from bypassing the deactivation cooldown.

•This Augment Mod can be used to corral enemies and damage them quickly. But even better, this Augment Mod can be used as a health pool, a place to throw all of your health so that, when you claim the refund, your health shoots way up into Overhealth.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Flood" will deactivate this ability.

(Once this ability has either run its course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

-|| Ability #3, “Health Siphon”:

Energy cost: 54 energy

Health replenished: 8% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen becomes invincible for 3 seconds. During this time she will extract Kuva Clouds from her surroundings and absorb them as health, at the cost of energy.

Every time “Health Siphon” is activated Guen will send out a healing pulse. Any allies within range of this pulse will heal by half of what Guen healed.

More info:

Spoiler

•If Guen already has near full health when “Health Siphon” is activated, then the access health will be added on as Overhealth instead. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's healing pulse. This means that Guen can grant allies with Overhealth by using this ability.

•If Guen has already reached the Overhealth cap, then any additional Overhealth she receives will simply go to waste. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's healing pulse.

•The amount of health Guen gains from this ability scales up with ability strength.

•The damage dealt by this ability scales up with ability strength. This also applies to the Kuva Puddles created using this Augment Mod.

•Any time an enemy steps within a "Blood Wake" Kuva Puddle, that enemy will be pulled to its center instantly and will remain trapped there until the Kuva Puddle is no longer active (unless the enemy dies before then). Unfortunately "Blood Wake" Kuva Puddles can only trap one or two enemies at a time.

•The Kuva Puddles created using this Augment Mod will not cost additional health per enemy affected, therefore offering no refund when deactivated.

•The Kuva Puddles created using this Augment Mod are not affected by range mods.

•The Kuva Puddles created using this Augment Mod are affected by duration mods.

•The health Guen salvages from her abilities through “Death Evasion” will not scale up with ability strength.

•After “Death Evasion” has been activated, Guen will be given temporary health regeneration and a moderately long grace period (All of Guen’s abilities will be locked for the duration of this grace period).

•Once Guen's “Death Evasion” passive ability is used, it cannot be used again until Guen’s health has been fully regenerated.

-{Passive #2} "Overhealth":

Overhealth cap: 2400

Guen can potentially Overheal any time one of her abilities are refunded.

Guen can also use her "Health Siphon" ability to grant both herself, as well as her allies, with Overhealth.

More info:

Spoiler

•Without the use of mods, Guen can Overheal by first healing from external sources, then claiming the refund on her abilities. With nowhere else to go, the access health will simply be added onto her existing health in the form of Overhealth.

•With the addition of strength mods (Example: Intensify) Guen is capable of healing, and even Overhealing, just by claiming ability refunds. At 100% ability strength, ability refunds give her exactly as much as she invested. But at 130% ability strength, ability refunds give her 30% more health than she invested (Additional refunded health caps at +200%). This means that, if she has low health she can use her ability refund to save herself and heal back to a more comfortable level, and If she already has near max health she can use the refund to really boost her health over the top in the form of Overhealth.

•If Guen has already reached the Overhealth cap, then any additional Overhealth she receives will simply go to waste. The same thing goes for any allies who Guen provides with Overhealth.

•Whenever Guen has Overhealth her health bar turns orange. Everything else about Overhealth is basically the same as Overshields.

Every 45 seconds a nearby enemy will be converted into one of Guen's Kuva Thralls.

More info:

Spoiler

•When an enemy is converted into a Kuva Thrall it will receive a minor armor buff.

•Guen can choose to kill one of her Kuva Thralls using her Parazon, doing this will not benefit Guen in any way. This feature only serves as a way of dismissing unwanted Kuva Thralls, nothing more.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls have a bright orange outline around them, unlike a Lich's Kuva Thralls which have a blue outline around them. This will prevent confusion for anyone that uses Guen in a Kuva Lich mission.

•Whenever the Operator exits Guen, all of Guen's Kuva Thralls will remain frozen and invincible until the Operator reenters Guen.

•If Guen's "Death Evasion" passive is activated, her Kuva Thralls won't save her. They don't count as active abilities, and therefore cannot be refunded. If Guen is downed, and the only thing active is a Kuva Thrall, then she will die, and so will her Kuva Thralls.

 

Passive Synergy:

-Ability #1, "Cumulus Kuva":

•Shooting one of Guen's Kuva Thralls with a Kuva Cloud will temporarily buff its damage.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls will always prioritize enemies that are being affected by Guen's “Cumulus Kuva” ability. The more Kuva Clouds cast on a single enemy, the more likely a Kuva Thrall is to target it.

-Ability #3, "Health Siphon":

•Guen's Kuva Thralls count as allies. This means Guen can use her "Health Siphon" ability to heal her Kuva Thralls. It also means that she can use her "Health Siphon" ability to grant her Kuva Thralls with Overhealth.

-Notes:

Spoiler

•While the Operator is within Guen, Guen's eye color (and her Kuva Thralls' eye colors) will match that of the Operator. Whenever you exit Guen, the color of her eyes (and her Kuva Thralls' eyes) will turn gray; absent and hallow, drained of all their vibrance and life. This symbolizes Guen's lack of individuality/ personality, as well as her reliance on the Tenno.

•The Primed version of Guen isn't actually called "Guen Prime", instead it's called "Guen Preme" ("Preme" is short for "Supreme"). Basically, Guen can't possibly have a Primed variant; the timing is completely off and her lore simply doesn't allow it. For this reason, Guen doesn't have a "Primed" variant, instead she has a "Premed" variant. Preme frames are not quite as good as Prime frames, but they are still an improvement from their standard versions. However, unlike Prime frames, Preme frames do not receive energy when coming into contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb. But who knows, maybe they can do something else, something unique only to Preme frames. (How Preme frames are created is currently unknown)

•Guen Preme is actually a specific sub-type of Preme frame: "A Mutalist Preme Warframe". In theory, there can be up to 2, maybe even 3 other types of Preme frames, but as of right now the only type of Preme frame is the Mutalist Preme frame. (Other types of Preme frames may include: A Mutalist Preme frame created from a living organism, and a standard Preme frame created from a living organism)

•Similar to Kuva weapons, this frame’s max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per forma added).

•If you create a Kuva Lich using Guen, then the corresponding Kuva weapon will have the same type of bonus damage that Guen possesses at the time. (In other words, the type of status effect that Guen receives through valence fusion will transfer to any Kuva Lich she creates.) However, if Guen has not performed valence fusion, then her Kuva Lich's bonus damage will simply default to Impact damage [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)].

 

-Lore/ Backstory:

Spoiler

Kuva; unpredictable, dangerous, and mysterious. The Worm Queen just so happens to have an abundance of that very resource. The Elder Queen’s body may have died, but the Worm Queen knew that was not the end.

(I know that for some people the Elder Queen was left alive, but either way, the result remains the same. Because if the Elder Queen can be revived after death, then of course she can be revived before death.)

Death cannot truly come to the Elder Queen, because whenever the Elder Queen performs "Continuity" she uses a special Kuva called "Purple Kuva" (If you want to know more about "Continuity" & "Purple Kuva" just keep reading, you're in the right place).

The Elder Queen has had many bodies, she has seen the world through many pairs of eyes, and this was no different. After cheating death so many times already, it is unlikely that death will ever find her, even if she accepted it with open arms. The Elder Queen has been condemned to eternal existence, she just doesn’t know it yet.

Lucky for the Elder Queen, her sister (the Worm Queen) knew something that most others did not. She knew that even though the Elder Queen was dead she could be brought back. They call it “Continuity”, the process of using Kuva to transfer one consciousness into another.

The Worm Queen began to lay out a plan, a plan that would not only bring back the Elder Queen but effectively immortalize her for all of eternity. Using her vast Kuva reserve and Grineer servants, the Worm Queen began to design and construct her very own warframe, a vessel untouchable by age and unafraid of death.

But she couldn't do it alone. She could only think of a select few that were up to the task. Luckily a number of these select few were already working for her, one of which a Grineer doctor named Dr. Tengus (Dr. Tengus created the Grineer Ghouls). The Worm Queen had more than enough brilliant minds at her disposal, and so she decided to try and make do with that for now. She hoped that they would succeed so that she didn't have to go find outside help.

Dr. Tengus, the Worm Queen, and a few other Grineer scientists worked very closely in attempting to find, not a solution, but the solution to the Elder Queen’s ailments. The Worm Queen took care of all the necessary expenses. A private lab, lab assistants, and any other resources they may require. They worked day and night with little rest, well, not the Worm Queen, she simply came and went as she pleased. They worked and worked but got few results. Eventually, the Worm Queen realized that they were making little progress, and so desperate measures needed to be taken.

Alad V…

Alad V once studied the infested in a search for some success in his swiftly declining career. While unsuccessful in that regard, he was able to develop a strain of infested called the Mutalist strain. This strain of infested has the ability to infect inorganic beings. This is exactly what they were missing.

With a combination of threats and bribery, the Worm Queen was able to convince Alad V to lend his expertise.

While Alad V did eventually help the Worm Queen in the search for a new body for the Elder Queen, his disgust for the Grineer made it nearly impossible for him to work alongside them. But he persevered because he knew that cooperating would provide him with all the information he would need to recreate the experiment for himself.

After several tests on small droplets of Kuva, Alad V theorized that they may be able to create a warframe by applying a mixture of Mutalist and Helminth infestations to an inanimate object, and he was right, but he learned the hard way just how important it was to get the proportions right.

Why Helminth + Mutalist + Inorganic material = A warframe with no emotion or independent thought:

Spoiler

A Helminth strain: Operates independently and can be used to create warframes, but it cannot bind to inorganic material and its thoughts and behavior are difficult to suppress/ control effectively.

A Mutalist strain: Operates as a hive and cannot be used to create warframes, but it can bind to any material, organic or not. A Mutalist strain's behavior is also quite difficult to suppress/ control.

A Helminth strain combined with a Mutalist strain (With the correct proportions): The Helminth strain would bind to the organic matter found within the Mutalist infestation itself. The Helminth infested strain would then overtake the Mutalist infested strain, cutting it off from its hive. Also, by binding to the Mutalist strain, the Helminth strain is now able to bind to inorganic material, but since the Helminth strain is binding to inorganic matter, it is left without a personality to adapt as its own. Resulting in a completely emotionless warframe.

He began by testing his theory on a small sample of Kuva, but he used too much Mutalist infestation in the solution. Even though it was just a small sample, it became so violent it nearly ripped Alad V's head off right away. It was even more violent than any infested creature Alad V has seen so far. It's a miracle he was able to get out alive. In the end, they were able to contain and kill the creature. The Worm Queen also set up several safety precautions in preparation for the next experiment.

In Alad V's second test he fully expected to be eaten alive, but he didn't use enough Mutalist infestation in the solution this time. The sample just moved slightly, and instantly fell apart.

That was when Alad V realized; Too much Mutalist=violent, Not enough Mutalist=weak (this effect is specific to when it is used on an inanimate object). It took only 4 more tests before Alad V was able to perfect the Mutalist to Helminth Ratio. Sample #6, not too weak and not too aggressive, neutral in every sense of the word. Both a shell and a weapon, without any thoughts or feelings of its own. The perfect qualities for the Elder Queen's new body. Sample #6 is what paved the way for sample #7, later known as Guen.

Eventually, with a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains, they were able to apply that mixture of disease to Kuva and create Guen. A whole new breed of warframe, one that was never alive to begin with.

You may be wondering how the Worm Queen would be able to create the Helminth strain of infested. Well, the Grineer Queens were once Orokin. The Worm Queen has overheard bits and pieces of the warframe building process from Ballis’ conversations with Silvana, which turned out to be all the information the Worm Queen needed to develop her own Helminth strain, with the help of her Grineer scientists of course.

Although they were making progress, Alad V was still opposed to the Grineer Queens having such a powerful weapon. This is why Alad V kept tabs on where each of the blueprints were hidden.

When Alad V finally got the chance he contacted the Tenno, explained what was happening, and revealed where all of Guen's blueprints were hidden as payment for his protection. Although Alad V didn’t like the Tenno very much, right now they were the lesser evil, and it was in his best interest to make sure the Elder Queen stays dead. Also, he was almost certain that as soon as the Worm Queen finally got what she wanted, she would have him executed, so he didn't exactly have a choice. Unfortunately, Alad V had no idea that the Elder Queen was already being resurrected.

When the Worm Queen finally produced a viable replacement for the Elder Queen’s current body she wasted no time in presenting it to her, but then she remembered that the Elder Queen was still dead. The Worm Queen quickly got to work on transferring the Elder Queen's consciousness so that she could see what a great job the Worm Queen had done in making her new body.

But this was no typical transfer. Sure, the Worm Queen could have just used Red (Crimson) Kuva, but the Queens were far too clever for that. They knew better than to make the obvious choice. There was the choice between Blue Kuva (which is temporary) and Red Kuva (which is permanent), but the Queens decided long ago to make a third choice for themselves. By mixing Red Kuva with Blue Kuva the Queens were able to create Purple Kuva; extremely powerful, extremely rare, and extremely unstable. Purple Kuva begins to deteriorate as soon as it is made, and it does so even more quickly than an Argon Crystal. For this reason, most Orokin did not tamper with Purple Kuva, for if used incorrectly bad things happen. The first time an Orokin scientist experimented with Purple Kuva he died instantly with seemingly no hope of revival. This terrified the Orokin to no end. Since then the Orokin instituted a strict ban on Purple Kuva for fear of mortality, ironically the Orokin were overthrown and exterminated shortly after. Somehow the Queens managed to concoct their own Purple Kuva mixture (shout out to all the Grineer volunteers they killed in the process), and since the Orokin were long gone, there was nothing stopping them.

Sure, when done incorrectly the consequences are quite extreme, but the Queens did not see consequence, they saw opportunity, for when used correctly the results are quite impressive. Purple Kuva can transfer an Orokin consciousness into another body permanently, just like Red Kuva. But, unlike Red Kuva, if the Orokin dies while within its new body, its soul and consciousness will be preserved and returned to its previous body, where they will remain until they are provided with another vessel.

When the Elder Queen finally came to in her new skin, she was disoriented and confused at first. The Elder Queen saw that the Worm Queen seemed really excited about something, but she didn't know what, and frankly she didn’t care at the time.

It took a little while for the Elder Queen to finally understand what was happening, but once she did there was no stopping her. The Elder Queen knew that this discovery would change EVERYTHING, and now nothing could stand in her way, not even the Tenno.

The Elder Queen then attempts to say something. Odds are she was going to say something like, "You've done well... worm", which probably would have made the Worm Queen very happy, despite the backhanded nature of the compliment. But when the Elder Queen tries to speak, nothing happens. "Umm, we can fix that..." Says the Worm Queen.

There was an adjustment period for the Elder Queen. Being dead for so long took its toll. She had to learn how to walk again, and it didn’t come easy. It made her furious not being able to do something so simple, each stumble made her livid with rage. And the inability to speak only made conditions even worse for her. But once she finally got her bearings the Elder Queen got right to work on harnessing her newfound abilities. Still, the Elder Queen never forgave the Worm Queen for failing to provide her with a mouth, and the Worm Queen never did get around to fixing her mistake.

Even though the Worm Queen had already fulfilled her primary objective, which was to revive the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will continue to collect Kuva. She never stops collecting Kuva because she keeps thinking of new ways to use it to her advantage. The Worm Queen has no shortage of ideas, and she’s already begun to make some of those ideas a reality.

-{Acquisition #3} Quest, "The Kuva Queen":

After having successfully completed 3 Kuva Flood missions, you will get a new quest called “The Kuva Queen”. Completing this Quest will reward you with Guen's main blueprint and 15,000 Kuva.

More info:

Spoiler

•After accepting this quest you will get a message from Alad V, who is now reluctantly working for the Worm Queen to help build an extremely dangerous weapon. He whispers his message so he isn’t overheard. He says that we’re all in danger and that if anyone found out about this message he would surely be killed.

•He warns you about Guen and says that if you don’t act fast the consequences of this creation will be catastrophic, except he doesn’t call her “Guen”. In the “Kuva Queen” quest. Guen doesn’t officially get a name until the quest is completed. Instead, any time someone refers to Guen, they say “it” or “the warframe” or “the beast”.

•Anyway, he tells you that luckily the warframe is yet to be built, so there’s still time. He tells you that the Worm Queen has hidden some of the warframe's blueprints in various Grineer bases, but in exchange for their location he wants freedom. He is afraid that as soon the Worm Queen learns of his betrayal he will be executed. He quickly tells you his current location. Then you hear the voice of someone else, and with a fearful voice Alad V responds “Nothing, just talking to myself” and the message cuts off.

(The first 4 quest missions may seem a bit too easy, but the enemies in each of those missions will be pretty high level. So if the mission itself isn’t challenging enough, the enemies will make up for it.)

 

{Quest mission, 1} (Alad V):

This mission will begin as a rescue mission and end as an extermination mission.

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission, you will be tasked with rescuing Alad V and escorting him to extraction. Once you have rescued Alad V simply exterminate all remaining enemies and extract.

(The reason you need to exterminate all of the enemies after every mission is to make sure that the Worm Queen is never made aware of your plans.)

 

{Quest mission, 2} (Chassis):

The chassis blueprint mission will begin as a sabotage mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin the mission, you will be tasked with stealing the chassis blueprint, only the Worm Queen has separated it into 5 fragments for increased security. There will be 5 different markers on the mini-map, each directing you to a different chassis blueprint fragment. Simply find and steal each one, and kill the remaining enemies.

•Once you have completed the Guen chassis mission you will return to your orbiter, where you will destroy the chassis blueprint to make sure that the Grineer Queens never get their hands on it.

(The chassis blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 3} (Neuroptics):
The neuroptics blueprint mission will begin as a mobile defense mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission, your objective will be to steal the Guen neuroptics blueprint, only, this blueprint has already been uploaded to several different sources digitally, and such an elaborate blueprint takes time to extract.

•You’ll have to deliver payloads and defend a number of locations while the Lotus extracts all records of the neuroptics blueprint from Grineer servers. Once you have done that, all that will be left to do is eliminate the remaining enemies and head to extraction.

•Once you return to your orbiter you will delete the Guen neuroptics blueprint.

(The neuroptics blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 4} (Systems):
The systems blueprint mission will begin as a stealth mission and end as an extermination mission. But the stealth portion isn't what you'd expect, it will be more like the mastery rank 9 test.

More info:

Spoiler

•Each enemy will be provided with their own communication systems for increased security. This means that if anyone detects you, they will alert all of the other enemies, as well as their Queen. Meaning not only is the Worm Queen now aware of your plans, but the other enemies have been prompted to hide and secure the blueprint. Making the mission a complete failure.

•So, at the beginning of the mission, before stealing the blueprint, your task will be; Get to their communication controls, hack them, and disable them, all without being seen. Then simply steal the systems blueprint, exterminate the remaining enemies, and head to extraction.

•Once you return to the orbiter you will destroy the Guen systems blueprint.

(The system blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 5} (Blueprint):
The Guen blueprint mission is just an assassination mission. And, according to Alad V, it is the last mission you’ll need to do in order to neutralize the threat.

More info:

Spoiler

•Alad V will tell you that you have to kill the Worm Queen to steal the final traces of Guen because she keeps the main blueprint on her at all times.

•When you finally get to the Worm Queen she seems caught off guard. She’ll say “Tenno! What are you doing here! How ever did you find me!” Then the Operator will give a powerful speech about justice and whatnot, then once the speech is done, the Operator will fire a shot at the Worm Queen in an attempt to begin the fight, but the blast goes right through her.

•The void blast leaves behind a small flicker in the place where it should have pierced the Worm Queen. “It’s a hologram!” Says the Operator. A brief closeup of the small device projecting it from above is shown, confirming his theory.

•A large evil smile begins to form on her face. “Do you really think I’m that stupid Tenno?!” She says, "All this time you’ve spent plotting behind my back, sabotaging my plans, DESTROYING MY KUVA SIPHONS!! *sigh* (she takes a moment to calm down a bit) Now it’s my turn Tenno."

•"That's right! I knew all along that Alad V would betray me. It was all part of my diabolical plan! Oh, I almost forgot! You may not be able to recognize her at first, but I brought an old friend that just can’t wait to see you, Isn’t that right sis?” That was when Guen, or rather, the Elder Queen, stepped into view. Her exterior appears to be made out of hardened Kuva.

Visual aid:

({Art by: Dan_Dagazz})

•The Elder Queen only stares at the Operator intensely for a moment while gesturing subtly. The Operator remains thoroughly confused. Frustrated, the Elder Queen looks back at the Worm Queen harshly. "Oh! Oops, sorry... I forgot." Says the Worm Queen, finally remembering that the Elder Queen needs a translator because she no longer has a mouth of her own to speak with. "Anyway, she said... *the Worm Queen clears her throat and tries to do her best Elder Queen impression* “Hello Tenno... Miss me?”. The Elder Queen glances at the Worm Queen sharply. "I said I'm sorry! I swear I did the best I could with what I had!" Says the Worm Queen. The Elder Queen gestures aggressively. "Yeah, a mouth is one thing, but you have no idea how difficult vocal cords are to make!" The Elder Queen gestures once more dismissively. "Fine, I guess we'll talk about this later then."

•The Operator stares in disbelief as they argue. She must be an imposter he thinks, there's no way that's really her... right? But then he looks into her eyes, her eyes are identical to that of the Elder Queen (A brief flashback of the Elder Queen’s face just before her previous death plays, as a way to fill the player in on what the Operator is thinking) “It's really her...”

•The Operator, filled with shock, fear, and rage knows not what to do. So he simply drops to the floor with defeat. “All of that work, for nothing” he mumbles to himself. He had done everything within his power to bury the Elder Queen for good, yet it wasn’t enough.

•“Awww, look sister. He's sad... oh well, anyway, enough drama.” Says the Worm Queen “The reason I--" The Elder Queen smacks her in the back of the head "Uhh, the reason WE lured you here is... TO WATCH YOU DIE! Muahahahahahaha!” Suddenly the Worm Queen stops laughing and her face hardens as she gazes upon the Operator, still wallowing in his defeat. She stares at him with pure hatred in her eyes, but only for a moment.

•The Worm Queen then violently slams on a button on her end of the hologram. Suddenly all of the doors around him slam shut. The words “SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED!” blast the Operator’s eardrums from every direction, but he hardly even notices. “Good luck Tenno!” Says the Worm Queen as she chuckles.

•The room around him begins to shake violently, fires start to spread, everything starts to fall apart, and a countdown timer gets displayed on the bottom of the screen, but the Operator remains on the floor with his head down.

•“Operator! Operator!! Please get up! Can’t you see you’re in danger!” Pleads Ordis, but the Operator hardly moves a muscle. As Ordis pleads and pleads the Operator begins to slowly raise his head, and Ordis’ voice slowly fades away until there is nothing left but silence. The Operator looks directly at the Queens with extreme intensity and says, “I will find you”. The Elder Queen Remains unfazed, but the Worm Queen shows a hint of fear for only a moment. Then the Operator quickly shoots the device projecting the hologram, cutting off its signal.

•He then slowly picks himself back up and Ordis’ voice slowly fades back in. “OPERATOR PLEASE!!! OPERA— Oh! thank goodness, for a moment there I was sure I had lost you! I was so worr—” “What’s the plan Ordis” the Operator says bluntly “Oh, yes of course Operator, I found an alternate exit while you were— um... I’ve taken the liberty of marking it on your minimap” “Thanks Ordis”.

•Then just head to extraction before the timer hits zero and you have completed the first Guen blueprint mission.

•When you finally get back to your orbiter it will say “mission success: summary”, then display the quest completion message, only it will say “Quest Incomplete, The Kuva Queen”. It will seem as though you had lost, it will seem as though that were the last mission, but then Ordis will say, “Operator, I am detecting some unusual activity on *so and so planet*” That’s when you will begin the final mission of the “Kuva Queen” quest.

{Quest mission, 6} (Blueprint, for real this time):
All that you have left to do is track down the Elder Queen in her new form and kick her out of Guen, only she’s super powerful now.

More info:

Spoiler

Defeating the elder Queen in this form will be very similar to defeating a Kuva Lich, but there are a few key differences:

Spoiler

-Unlike Kuva Liches, the Elder Queen is immune to Requiem mods and Parazons. The Elder Queen can only be defeated by using transference on her 3 times (meaning there's no guessing involved). Doing this will loosen the Elder Queen's grip just enough to separate her from Guen.

-The Elder Queen's Kuva Thralls will not provide the player with Requiem Murmurs. However, they do still have a chance of dropping Requiem relics.

-When you go into the Elder Queen's Kuva Lich information menu; weaknesses, resistances, and all other potentially useful information about her will be illegible. It will be full of question marks, scribbles, and all sorts of random symbols where the actual information should be.

-The areas claimed by the Elder Queen will be highlighted orange instead of red, and the Elder Queen's Kuva Thralls will have a dark orange outline around them instead of a blue one. This will prevent confusion for anyone who has a Kuva Lich while completing this quest.

-Unlike Kuva Liches, the Elder Queen cannot be converted... obviously.

 

Basically everything else about this fight is the same as a Kuva Lich fight:

1) Kill Kuva Thralls to draw her out

2) Once you've drawn her out, lower her health and go for the kill

3) Repeat steps 1 & 2

4) Repeat steps 1 & 2 again

5) Victory!

 

•Once you have weakened the Elder Queen enough, you’ll be prompted to use transference on her one last time. Once you do, you will transfer into Guen, pushing out the Elder Queen. Unfortunately, the Elder Queen trying her best to resist causes severe damage to Guen during transference, leaving behind nothing but Guen’s main blueprint.

•While the Elder Queen had once again been defeated, this was not the end. Just as the Elder Queen was being forced out of Guen she said something like: “You may have beaten me for now Tenno! But the war has only just begun.” Then she vanished like a ghost.

•Once you have kicked the Elder Queen out of Guen, all that's left to do is grab Guen's blueprint and head to extraction.

•When you get back to your orbiter you’ll be greeted with a proper quest completion message saying “Quest Complete, The Kuva Queen” and a congrats from Ordis. Also, after completing the “Kuva Queen” quest, you will receive a message from Alad V. As an extra thanks he sends you a little something that he stole from the Queens:  15,000.

•Then it will just be the Operator and Ordis talking amongst themselves. The Operator proceeds to ask Ordis, “So, what should we name her?”, and Ordis responds, “You want to name it?! But why Operator?! Didn’t it try to kill you?” “No, it didn’t try to kill me, the Queens did, and we have to call it something, we can’t just keep calling it, 'it' all the time.” “Operator, please tell me you’re not thinking of rebuilding that thing, what if it’s a trap?! What if they wanted this to happen?!” “It’s not Ordis, trust me.” “Well, if you must name it, how about; DEVIL!, DEMON SPAWN!, EVIL!, GARBAGE!, NOT TO BE TRUSTED!, Guen... TOILET WATER! MURDERER! GARBA—” “Whoa, back up a little.” “Yes of course Operator; TOILET WATER! MURD—” “No no, before that, Guen, that’s not bad. Yeah, Guen, I like it.” "YUCK! Guen is a STUPID name, whoever came up with that should go DIE! also...”

 

-Future story:

Spoiler

Once you finally throw the Elder Queen out of Guen, her soul and mind will travel back to her previous corpse. They will remain trapped there until she is provided with a new body. (This is a result of the Purple Kuva [(See "Lore/ Backstory" for more info)])

...Meanwhile, Alad V is putting together his very own warframe. And its name is Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist frame #2), another frame concept of mine. Here's the link:

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1223753-ferro-the-robotic-warframe-🤖-mutalist-frame-2/

 

Long after the discovery of Guen and the defeat of the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will begin to construct her second Kuva beast, one far more powerful than the last, similar at its core, yet different in every way. Evolved.

The Elder Queen is not in this one. This time the Worm Queen created a weapon that she can control remotely. She wants to get the Tenno out of the way before bringing the Elder Queen back once again.

This Kuva Creation will have mechanical tentacles, metal claws, and other attachments which add to its evil sinister vibe. It will also have pitch-black eyes. Its eyes make it appear much more dead than alive. And this new evil Kuva creation has no name. It will never have a name because this time you don't get to bring it home and name it. Once you have defeated it there will be no blueprints for you to salvage.

This new Kuva weapon is going to be much bigger and stronger than Guen, all of its abilities/ attacks will be completely different, and it will be defeated in a vastly different way. It will be more like a boss than a Lich. This boss will spawn on a new node in the Kuva Fortress, but only while "Guen Preme" is unvaulted.

--> [(If you're wondering why "Guen Prime" is called "Guen Preme" there is a full explanation in the "Notes" tab)] <--

Upon defeating this boss there is a chance that it will drop one of Guen Preme's blueprints. This is the only way of getting Guen Preme's blueprints, unless you trade for them. (This boss is only available while Guen Preme is unvaulted).

After having destroyed the Worm Queen's second fancy Kuva suit, it will be clear that the Worm Queen is far more cunning and dangerous than she appears, and the only way to make this madness stop would be to kill the Worm Queen. But you never get the chance (You can’t because then that would mean the end of Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions).

 

When you finally build Guen Preme, her appearance will slightly resemble that of the monster you retrieved her blueprints from, but of course, Guen Preme will also slightly resemble Guen, the very first of her kind. Now, although they are similar, that does not make them the same. Here are a few things that set them apart:

1) Guen Preme is mostly light red, unlike Guen, who has more of a deep red color to her.

2) Whenever the Operator exits Guen Preme, the color of her eyes (and her Kuva Thralls' eyes) will turn pitch-black, instead of gray like Guen. This suggests that Guen Preme is even more compliant and emotionless than Guen. Does this mean that the standard Guen has at least some remanence of a soul? Evidence of this has yet to be seen, but maybe... just maybe...

3) Guen Preme has several metallic enhancements. These metallic enhancements have a faint, yet noticeable, tint of gold to them, as well as a much more noticeable tint of silver. Each of these metallic enhancements protrude out of her body in a seemingly random fashion, but something tells me it is not as random as it appears. Whether or not these enhancements will directly impact Guen Preme's gameplay is unknown.

 

Long after having killed the Worm Queen's second Kuva creature, the Elder Queen will return once again. This time, the body that the Elder Queen resurfaces in will be a bit different from the last. Instead of a new Kuva warframe with which to fight off the Tenno and take over the world, this time, it’s more of a computer-Kuva hybrid.

In this new vessel the Elder Queen will look kind of like Cephalon Simaris, but with some strong identifying features. The Elder Queen will be hooked up to a bunch of big messy wires and huge clunky monitors, all of which are covered in Kuva.

The Operator will be told to fight another evil Kuva creature, under the impression that it is the Elder Queen’s new body. But defeating it comes far too easily and the Operator gets suspicious. As the Operator continues to investigate his suspicions, he eventually learns the truth. The Elder Queen is no longer of one mind, and that creature was no warframe, it was one of the Worm Queen's latest inventions.

The Worm Queen has built for the Elder Queen a cyber-neural command center with which she can remotely control hundreds of her Grineer soldiers simultaneously. In other words, she created an entire army of mindless Kuva infused Grineer which the Elder Queen can control from a distance. These Grineer are far more powerful than regular Grineer, but they’re also a bit dumber, so they miss a lot (The Elder Queen can only focus on so many things at once). They kind of look like Guen's deluxe skin, but in the shape of Grineer, and each one of them have red eyes, almost identical to the Elder Queen's.

You will try to blow up the computer she now resides in, with a little help from Rex (The new Corpus leader, formerly known as "Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist frame #2)"), but you quickly realize that she can simply transfer her consciousness to a different computer instantly.

She’s a hive mind now, and there appears to be no way of stopping her. But you will never stop trying, because once you get to the Elder Queen, you dismantle her entire army of Grineer puppets, and you leave the Worm Queen completely vulnerable. This would provide you with a chance to end it all for good. The death of the Worm Queen would finally mark the end of one of the Tenno’s biggest threats. But of course, this could never happen. It would only get very close. The Worm Queen will always escape somehow, again and again, always renewing the never-ending cycle. The endless struggle between the Queens, and the Tenno.

 

Long after the Elder Queen's failed assassination, the Elder Queen began to desire more than power alone, she wanted revenge, and there just so happened to be a way of obtaining both... Rex.

Control Rex = revenge & power.  If the Elder Queen were able to control Rex, not only would she be rid of her most recent enemy, she would also have complete control over the Corpus. And if she played her cards right, maybe she could use the combination of Grineer and Corpus forces to bring down the Tenno. Sure, controlling a warframe that has a mind of its own would normally be too difficult, especially over long distances, but Rex is a robot, and robots can be hacked into.

The Elder Queen shared her plan with the Worm Queen and tasked her with finding a way to invade Rex's mind. The Worm Queen gathered all of their most competent hackers/ technicians and got to work on upgrading the Elder Queen's computer with highly intense Corpus hacking capabilities.

After just a few days the Elder Queen's new weapon was ready for use, and the Elder Queen wasted little time. The Elder Queen was able to successfully hack into Rex using her new electronic weapon, and her first act as Corpus puppet master was to declare war on the Tenno alongside the Grineer.

Unfortunately for the Elder Queen, the Corpus were able to quickly figure out what was happening. Maybe it was allying with the Grineer, or waging war on the Tenno, or the fact that Rex's eyes had suddenly turned red, but whatever it was that tipped them off, the Corpus were not happy about it. They had just begun to warm up to their new leader, so they weren't going to just let the Queens come in and ruin everything.

The first thing they needed to do was restrain Rex so that they could get the Elder Queen out of his head, but they couldn't do that alone since the Elder Queen had taken control of all their robotics. They decided to call up the Tenno and ask them to beat up their possessed leader.

After successfully defeating Rex, the Operator uses transference to help Rex break free from the Elder Queen's grasp. Once free, and the Queen's diabolical plan foiled, Rex fortified his mind to prevent any future attempts to break into his mind. From now on, no one will be able to control or hack into Rex, not even the Tenno.

 

-Trivia:

Spoiler

•Guen is short for Sanguen, which is an old Latin word for blood (To make life easier for all the fact-checkers out there; the word "sanguen" can be found on a site called "online-latin-dictionary.com", which claims to be "the largest and most complete online Latin dictionary").

•Guen is a whole new breed of warframe. Unlike the other warframes, Guen was never alive, even before being turned into a warframe. She was created when a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains were applied to Kuva. Just as Excalibur Umbra is the first Umbra frame, Guen is the first Mutalist frame.

•There has yet to be a Mutalist warframe that was created from a living organism. It is possible, it just hasn't been done yet.

•Since Guen is an inanimate object she is unable to feel emotion and she cannot think for herself. Luckily the Operator will always be there to do all of the thinking for her.

•Guen is the first frame to have a "Premed" variant instead of a "Primed" variant. Guen's lore doesn't really allow for a Primed variant, but it does allow for an enhanced version of the standard Guen, which is exactly what Guen Preme is. Preme frames are not as powerful as Prime frames, but they're not too far behind. ("Preme" is short for "Supreme" by the way) [(More info on "Preme frames" can be found in the "Notes" tab.)]

•Guen Preme is actually a specific sub-type of Preme frame: "A Mutalist Preme Warframe". In theory, there can be up to 2, maybe even 3 other types of Preme frames, but as of right now the only type of Preme frame is the Mutalist Preme frame. (Other types of Preme frames may include: A Mutalist Preme frame created from a living organism, and a standard Preme frame created from a living organism) [(More info on "Preme frames" can be found in the "Notes" tab.)]

•The reason Guen’s deluxe skin is called “Lakshmi” is because Kuva, in Sanskrit, means lotus. And the name “Lakshmi” belongs to a Hindu goddess who is often associated with the lotus flower and is even sometimes referred to as the lotus goddess.

•Guen is the first and only warframe to have a max rank of 40.

•Guen is the first and only warframe capable of performing valence fusion.

•Guen is the first warframe that does not have definitive polarities.

•Guen is the first and only warframe to have Overhealth capabilities.

For DE & WF Forums staff:

For WF Forums staff: (Special request)

Spoiler

I would like to be able to edit this thread even after it is time to archive it.

This would allow me to keep this frame's lore consistent with warframe's lore as it continues to develop in the future. Otherwise, Guen's lore will be complete nonsense in just a few years. I know you may not be able to grant me this request, but I have a few ideas as to how you could do it, assuming you're willing:

1) Feature this thread?

Based on some of the other featured threads that I have seen in WF forums, featured threads don't get archived. I don't know why/ how a thread qualifies as a "feature worthy" thread, but even if my frame concept does not meet that standard, I hope you will still make an exception. (I know it's a big ask, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway)

2) Simply prevent this thread from getting archived?

I don't even know if this is possible, but I saw some very old threads that still have yet to be archived. My theory is that those threads were made before the archive feature was added to forums, but just in case Moderators do in fact have the power to disable archiving, that is what I would like for this thread.

3) When it comes time to archive this thread, can you lock it instead?

Based on what I've seen on other threads; a locked thread can be unlocked at any time by a Moderator, and a locked thread cannot be archived. This would allow me to request that my thread be temporarily unlocked from time to time, allowing me to update my frame's storyline in the event that the game's lore develops in a way that I had not anticipated. This would of course be a rare request (once every few years maybe), I wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone.

*If you are a forums Moderator please message me in response to one of the following questions: Are any of the options I mentioned actually viable? Is there a different/ better solution that I failed to mention? Is my request just completely unrealistic and thus has no chance of actually happening? Whatever the answer is, I'd really appreciate some information on the subject, thanks!*

 

For DE, if they decide to make this frame:

Spoiler

1) Don’t use the artwork below in Guen’s design, that artwork is not mine. It is only there to give you an idea of what Guen should look like more or less.

2) There are older versions of this post saved in page #7, and even older versions saved in page #4. Some of the saves in page #4 are almost identical to one another, but there may still be some good ideas to work with in there.

3) Although I have created a sequel to Guen (Ferro, The Robotic Warframe), please don’t feel like you need to either make both of them or none at all. If I had to choose one I would choose Guen every time, and the lore has enough wiggle room for you to cut Ferro out completely.

4) I don’t know what all the rules are on plagiarism/ copyright, but I will say that this frame is yours to do whatever you wish, so long as I get credit for the part I played in its creation. I made this frame to be in the game after all. Not based on what I wanted to see in the game, but rather what I thought would fit best into the Warframe universe and its gameplay. And hopefully, it will be easier for you to make this frame without being accused of plagiarism/ copyright because I haven’t created any artwork for it, only ideas.

 

 

-Here’s my new warframe idea:

“This is Guen, Queen of Kuva. Guen utilizes her Kuva essence to maintain dominance over the battlefield.” (Lotus)

({Guen’s name was created with the help of “chris1pat8twins”})

 

-Guen’s deluxe “Lakshmi” skin would look kind of like this:

({Art by: Yasen Stoilov, Original picture link})

 

-Guen’s default skin would look kind of like this:

({Picture originally from a game called "Heroes of Might and Magic"})

(It’s supposed to look like hardened Kuva)

 

-Stats:

Mastery rank: 0

Health: 250 (750 at rank 30, 1000 at rank 40)

Shields: 25 (75 at rank 30, 100 at rank 40)

Armor: 100

Energy: 100 (150 at rank 30, 200 at rank 40)

Sprint speed: 1.0

Polarities: 2 random polarities

Exilus polarity: None

Aura polarity: 1 random Aura polarity

Themes: Kuva, Health Manipulation

 

 

-->Things you should know about Guen:

Spoiler

- Health cost:

What you need to know:

Guen manipulates her own health in order to supplement her abilities.

Some of Guen's abilities will drain a percentage of her health, but once an ability has run its course, the health you spent on it will be refunded automatically. To make up for this, Guen uses up less energy than normal on each of her abilities. This means you have basically all the energy you need wherever you go, but if you spam your abilities you’re gonna end up killing yourself.

With the addition of strength mods (Example: Intensify) Guen is capable of healing, and even Overhealing, just by claiming ability refunds [(see "{Passive #2} 'Overhealth'" for more info)].

More info:

Spoiler

•Every time you spend health on an ability, a number will appear on the bottom right of your screen, above its corresponding symbol. This number represents the percent of your max health that you currently have invested in that ability. Meaning if I use “Cumulus Kuva” and only hit one enemy, there will be “3%” above the “Cumulus Kuva” symbol. As abilities are activated and refunded, this percentage will go up and down, but if an ability has been completely refunded, it will remain blank above the corresponding symbol until the next time Guen spends health on that ability.

•If you’re ever in serious danger of dying, and you still have some abilities active, you can choose to manually deactivate them and claim the refund. This would cause Guen to call back all of the Kuva you spent on that ability. Simply hold the ability activation button on any of her abilities to deactivate it, which would refund all of the health you spent on that particular ability.

•To prevent people from spamming Guen's deactivation feature and becoming invincible, deactivation has a cooldown of about 8 seconds for each ability.

•Mods that influence energy efficiency (Example: Streamline) will still affect Guen’s energy consumption, but these mods will have no effect on her abilities’ health consumption.

({This health cost idea was created with the help of “chris1pat8twins”, and developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

- Status effects:

What you need to know:

Guen gains status effects through valence fusion.

Guen can have any status effect, but only one at a time, and Guen can only obtain a status effect through valence fusion. This means that, if you have a Kuva weapon, you can fuse that weapon with Guen, then Guen will receive that weapon's status effect. She is technically a Kuva weapon after all.

More info:

Spoiler

•If you create a Kuva Lich using Guen, then the corresponding Kuva weapon will have a little bit of every type of bonus damage. Unfortunately, since Guen can only have one status effect at a time, she is unable to fuse with such a Kuva weapon.

•Guen will not have status effects in any of her abilities unless valence fusion is performed. Her abilities will still do damage without it, just not as much.

•The percentage of status effect on the corresponding Kuva weapon will directly influence how much damage Guen's status effect deals.

 

 

-|| Ability #1, “Cumulus Kuva”:

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 18 energy

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 3% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen shoots a small Kuva Cloud projectile out of her hands, affecting small groups of up to about 3-5 enemies without the use of range mods.

Shooting an enemy with a Kuva Cloud disorients/ stuns it for a short time while also inflicting a status effect upon it (status effect determined by valence fusion [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)]).

More info:

Spoiler

•If an enemy is hit by 2 or more different Kuva Clouds, then the damage dealt upon that enemy will stack (Just to be clear: Activating "Cumulus Kuva" once= 1 Kuva Cloud, Activating "Cumulus Kuva" twice= 2 different Kuva Clouds).

•Holding the ability activation button for "Cumulus Kuva" will deactivate this ability.

(Once this ability has either run its course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

 

Ability Synergy:

-Ability #2, "Flood":

•If an enemy is standing within a Kuva Puddle, the damage & duration of "Cumulus Kuva" on that enemy will be increased.

-Ability #4, "Self Destruction":

•Holding the activation button for "Self Destruction" will simply deactivate all active abilities (including "Cumulus Kuva").

-{Passive #3} "Guen's Kuva Thralls":

•Shooting one of Guen's Kuva Thralls with a Kuva Cloud will temporarily buff its damage.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls will always prioritize enemies that are being affected by Guen's “Cumulus Kuva” ability. The more Kuva Clouds cast on a single enemy, the more likely a Kuva Thrall is to target it.

-Augment Mod #1:

Spoiler

"I don't know yet, let me know if you think of anything" (Cumulus Kuva Augment):

 

 

-|| Ability #2, “Flood”:

Ability activation limit: 4 Kuva Puddles (Guen can have no more than 4 Kuva Puddles active at the same time)

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 36 energy

Health cost (Per ability activation): 6% (of Guen’s max health)

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 1% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen’s body begins to liquify slightly. Then suddenly a flood of Kuva spews from her body in every direction, violently knocking back any enemies within its radius while also inflicting a status effect upon them (status effect determined by valence fusion [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)]).

After this flood dissipates it will temporarily leave behind a large Kuva Puddle. This Kuva Puddle will continue to inflict status damage upon each enemy that sets foot within its radius.

More info:

Spoiler

•Any time the number of enemies within a Kuva Puddle exceeds 3, then that Puddle will pull all of the enemies into its center. These enemies, as well as any others who decide to join them, will remain trapped in the center of the Kuva Puddle until it is no longer active (unless they die before then).

•If you attempt to place more than the max number of Kuva Puddles nothing will happen. Before placing additional Kuva Puddles, you would either need to manually deactivate them, or wait for one of them to deactivate on its own. Similar abilities in the game, such as Frost's "Snow Globe" ability, will deactivate the oldest one whenever there are too many, but this is not the case with Guen's Kuva Puddles. The reason for this is to prevent players from bypassing the deactivation cooldown.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Flood" will deactivate this ability.

(Once this ability has either run its course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

({This ability was developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

Ability Synergy:

-All:

•If an enemy is standing within a Kuva Puddle, the damage & duration of other abilities on that enemy will be increased.

-Ability #3, "Health Siphon":

•If Guen is standing in one of her Kuva Puddles when “Health Siphon” is activated, then she will receive additional health from "Health Siphon".

-Ability #4, "Self Destruction":

•Holding the activation button for "Self Destruction" will simply deactivate all active abilities (including "Flood").

-Augment Mod #2:

Spoiler

 "Kuva Pool" (Flood Augment):

Ability activation limit: 1 Kuva Puddle (Guen can only have 1 Kuva Puddle active at a time when using this augment)

Ability stacking limit: 8 (Guen can stack her Kuva Puddles on top of one another up to 8 times when using this augment)

Guen is now able to stack her Kuva Puddles on top of one another. Stacking a Kuva Puddle will not only add to the life span of that Kuva Puddle, but it will also increase its damage and range.

More info:

Spoiler

•The health stacked onto a Kuva Puddle won't be refunded until the Kuva Puddle as a whole is no longer active.

•Any time the number of enemies within a Kuva Puddle exceeds 3, then that Puddle will pull all of the enemies into its center. These enemies, as well as any others who decide to join them, will remain trapped in the center of the Kuva Puddle until it is no longer active (unless they die before then).

•If you attempt to place more than the max number of Kuva Puddles nothing will happen. Before placing additional Kuva Puddles, you would either need to manually deactivate them, or wait for one of them to deactivate on its own. Similar abilities in the game, such as Frost's "Snow Globe" ability, will deactivate the oldest one automatically whenever there are too many, but this is not the case with Guen's Kuva Puddles. The reason for this is to prevent players from bypassing the deactivation cooldown.

•This Augment Mod can be used to corral enemies and damage them quickly. But even better, this Augment Mod can be used as a health pool, a place to throw all of your health so that, when you claim the refund, your health shoots way up into Overhealth.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Flood" will deactivate this ability.

 

augment synergy:

-All:

•If an enemy is standing within a Kuva Puddle, the damage & duration of other abilities on that enemy will be increased (This effect does not increase with Kuva Puddle stacking).

-Ability #3, "Health Siphon":

•If Guen is standing in one of her Kuva Puddles when “Health Siphon” is activated, then she will receive additional health from "Health Siphon".

-Ability #4, "Self Destruction":

•Holding the activation button for "Self Destruction" will simply deactivate all active abilities (including "Flood").

 

 

-|| Ability #3, “Health Siphon”:

Energy cost: 54 energy

Health replenished: 8% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen becomes invincible for 3 seconds. During this time she will extract Kuva Clouds from her surroundings and absorb them as health, at the cost of energy.

Every time “Health Siphon” is activated Guen will send out a healing pulse. Any allies within range of this pulse will heal by half of what Guen healed.

More info:

Spoiler

•If Guen already has near full health when “Health Siphon” is activated, then the access health will be added on as Overhealth instead. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's healing pulse. This means that Guen can grant allies with Overhealth by using this ability.

•The amount of health Guen gains from this ability scales up with ability strength.

•This ability has a cooldown of about 4 seconds. This is to prevent people from becoming invincible by pairing it with mods like Hunters Adrenaline.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Health Siphon" does nothing.

 

Ability Synergy:

-Ability #2, "Flood":

•If Guen is standing in one of her Kuva Puddles when “Health Siphon” is activated, then she will receive additional health from "Health Siphon".

-{Passive #2} "Overhealth":

•If Guen already has near full health when “Health Siphon” is activated, then the access health will be added on as Overhealth instead. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's healing pulse.

-{Passive #3} "Guen's Kuva Thralls":

•Guen's Kuva Thralls count as allies. This means Guen can use her "Health Siphon" ability to heal her Kuva Thralls. It also means that she can use her "Health Siphon" ability to grant her Kuva Thralls with Overhealth.

-Augment Mod #3:

Spoiler

 "Energy Siphon" (Health Siphon Augment):

Health cost: 8% (of Guen’s max health)

Energy replenished: 54 energy

Instead of absorbing Kuva Clouds as health (at the cost of energy), Guen will absorb them as energy (at the cost of health).

Every time “Health Energy Siphon” is activated Guen will send out an energizing pulse. Any allies within range of this pulse will receive energy equal to half of what Guen received.

More info:

Spoiler

•If Guen already has near full energy when “Health Energy Siphon” is activated, then the access energy will simply go to waste. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's energizing pulse.

•The amount of energy Guen gains from this ability scales up with ability strength.

•This ability has a cooldown of about 4 seconds.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Health Energy Siphon" does nothing.

-Ability #2, "Flood":

•If Guen is standing in one of her Kuva Puddles when “Health Energy Siphon” is activated, then she will receive additional energy from "Health Siphon".

-{Passive #2} "Overhealth": (N/A when using this augment)

-{Passive #3} "Guen's Kuva Thralls": (N/A when using this augment)

 

 

-|| Ability #4, “Self Destruction”:

Energy cost: 0 energy

Activating Guen's "Self Destruction" ability will cause Guen to refund all health spent on active abilities. She will then send out all of the refunded health as damage on nearby enemies.

More info:

Spoiler

•The damage dealt by this ability scales up with ability strength.

 

Ability Synergy:

-All:

•Holding the activation button for "Self Destruction" will simply deactivate all active abilities.

-Ability #2, "Flood":

•If an enemy is standing within a Kuva Puddle, the damage "Self Destruction" deals on that enemy will be increased.

-Augment Mod #4:

Spoiler

"I don't know yet, let me know if you think of anything" (Self Destruction Augment):

 

 

-|| Passive:  

-{Passive #1} "Death Evasion":

If Guen ever runs out of health, so long as some of her abilities are still active, she won’t bleed out. Instead, her current body will fall, and the Kuva from her active abilities will rush there to form her a new body. When this happens, her health upon reconstruction will be equivalent to the health she had spent on her active abilities.

More info:

Spoiler

•The health Guen salvages from her abilities through “Death Evasion” will not scale up with ability strength.

•After “Death Evasion” has been activated, Guen will be given temporary health regeneration and a moderately long grace period (All of Guen’s abilities will be locked for the duration of this grace period).

•Once Guen's “Death Evasion” passive ability is used, it cannot be used again until Guen’s health has been fully regenerated.

({This passive was created with the help of “Velitria”, and developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”}) 

 

-{Passive #2} "Overhealth":

Overhealth cap: 2400

Guen can potentially Overheal any time one of her abilities are refunded.

Guen can also use her "Health Siphon" ability to grant both herself, as well as her allies, with Overhealth.

More info:

Spoiler

•Without the use of mods, Guen can Overheal by first healing from external sources, then claiming the refund on her abilities. With nowhere else to go, the access health will simply be added onto her existing health in the form of Overhealth.

•With the addition of strength mods (Example: Intensify) Guen is capable of healing, and even Overhealing, just by claiming ability refunds. At 100% ability strength, ability refunds give her exactly as much as she invested. But at 130% ability strength, ability refunds give her 30% more health than she invested (Refunded health caps at 200%). This means that, if she has low health she can use her ability refund to save herself and heal back to a more comfortable level, and If she already has near max health she can use the refund to really boost her health over the top in the form of Overhealth.

•Whenever Guen has Overhealth her health bar turns orange. Everything else about Overhealth is basically the same as Overshields.

({This passive was created with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

Synergy:

-Ability #3, "Health Siphon":

•If Guen already has near full health when “Health Siphon” is activated, then the access health will be added on as Overhealth instead. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's healing pulse.

 

-{Passive #3} "Guen's Kuva Thralls":

Kuva Thrall limit: 3 Kuva Thralls (Guen can have no more than 3 Kuva Thralls at the same time)

Health cost (Per Kuva Thrall): 0% (of Guen’s max health)

Every 45 seconds a nearby enemy will be converted into one of Guen's Kuva Thralls.

More info:

Spoiler

•When an enemy is converted into a Kuva Thrall it will receive a minor armor buff.

•Guen can choose to kill one of her Kuva Thralls using her Parazon, doing this will not benefit Guen in any way. This feature only serves as a way of dismissing unwanted Kuva Thralls, nothing more.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls have a bright orange outline around them, unlike a Lich's Kuva Thralls which have a blue outline around them. This will prevent confusion for anyone that uses Guen in a Kuva Lich mission.

•Whenever the Operator exits Guen, all of Guen's Kuva Thralls will remain frozen and invincible until the Operator reenters Guen.

•If Guen's "Death Evasion" passive is activated, her Kuva Thralls won't save her. They don't count as active abilities, and therefore cannot be refunded. If Guen is downed, and the only thing active is a Kuva Thrall, then she will die, and so will her Kuva Thralls.

 

Synergy:

-Ability #1, "Cumulus Kuva":

•Shooting one of Guen's Kuva Thralls with a Kuva Cloud will temporarily buff its damage.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls will always prioritize enemies that are being affected by Guen's “Cumulus Kuva” ability. The more Kuva Clouds cast on a single enemy, the more likely a Kuva Thrall is to target it.

-Ability #3, "Health Siphon":

•Guen's Kuva Thralls count as allies. This means Guen can use her "Health Siphon" ability to heal her Kuva Thralls. It also means that she can use her "Health Siphon" ability to grant her Kuva Thralls with Overhealth.

-Notes:

Spoiler

•While the Operator is within Guen, Guen's eye color (and her Kuva Thralls' eye colors) will match that of the Operator. Whenever you exit Guen, the color of her eyes (and her Kuva Thralls' eyes) will turn gray; absent and hallow, drained of all their vibrance and life. This symbolizes Guen's lack of individuality/ personality, as well as her reliance on the Tenno.

•The Primed version of Guen isn't actually called "Guen Prime", instead it's called "Guen Preme" ("Preme" is short for "Supreme"). Basically, Guen can't possibly have a Primed variant; the timing is completely off and her lore simply doesn't allow it. For this reason, Guen doesn't have a "Primed" variant, instead she has a "Premed" variant. Premed frames are not quite as good as Primed frames, but they are still an improvement from their standard versions. However, unlike Primed frames, Premed frames do not receive energy when coming into contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb. But who knows, maybe they can do something else, something unique only to Preme frames. (How Preme frames are created is currently unknown)

•Guen Preme is actually a specific sub-type of Preme frame: "A Mutalist Preme Warframe". In theory, there can be up to 2, maybe even 3 other types of Preme frames, but as of right now the only type of Preme frame is the Mutalist Preme frame. (Other types of Preme frames may include: A Mutalist Preme frame created from a living organism, And a standard Preme frame created from a living organism)

•Similar to Kuva weapons, this frame’s max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per forma added).

•If you create a Kuva Lich using Guen, then the corresponding Kuva weapon will have a little bit of every type of bonus damage. Unfortunately, since Guen can only have one status effect at a time, she is unable to fuse with such a Kuva weapon [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)].

 

-Lore/ Backstory:

Spoiler

Kuva; unpredictable, dangerous, and mysterious. The Worm Queen just so happens to have an abundance of that very resource. The Elder Queen’s body may have died, but the Worm Queen knew that was not the end.

I know that for some people the Elder Queen was left alive, but either way, the result remains the same. Death cannot truly come to the Elder Queen, because whenever the Elder Queen performs "Continuity" she uses a special Kuva called "Purple Kuva" (If you want to know more about "Continuity" & "Purple Kuva" just keep reading, you're in the right place).

The Elder Queen has had many bodies, she has seen the world through many pairs of eyes, and this was no different. After cheating death so many times already, it is unlikely that death will ever find her, even if she accepted it with open arms. The Elder Queen has been condemned to eternal existence, she just doesn’t know it yet.

Lucky for the Elder Queen, her sister (the Worm Queen) knew something that most others did not. She knew that even though the Elder Queen was dead she could be brought back. They call it “Continuity”, the process of using Kuva to transfer one consciousness into another.

The Worm Queen began to lay out a plan, a plan that would not only bring back the Elder Queen but effectively immortalize her for all of eternity. Using her vast Kuva reserve and Grineer servants, the Worm Queen began to design and construct her very own warframe, a vessel untouchable by age and unafraid of death.

But she couldn't do it alone. She could only think of a select few that were up to the task. Luckily a number of these select few were already working for her, one of which a Grineer doctor named Dr. Tengus (Dr. Tengus created the Grineer Ghouls). The Worm Queen had more than enough brilliant minds at her disposal, and so she decided to try and make do with that for now. She hoped that they would succeed so that she didn't have to go find outside help.

Dr. Tengus, the Worm Queen, and a few other Grineer scientists worked very closely in attempting to find, not a solution, but the solution to the Elder Queen’s ailments. The Worm Queen took care of all the necessary expenses. A private lab, lab assistants, and any other resources they may require. They worked day and night with little rest, well, not the Worm Queen, she simply came and went as she pleased. They worked and worked but got few results. Eventually, the Worm Queen realized that they were making little progress, and so desperate measures needed to be taken.

Alad V…

Alad V once studied the infested in a search for some success in his swiftly declining career. While unsuccessful in that regard, he was able to develop a strain of infested called the Mutalist strain. This strain of infested has the ability to infect inorganic beings. This is exactly what they were missing.

With a combination of threats and bribery, the Worm Queen was able to convince Alad V to lend his expertise.

While Alad V did eventually help the Worm Queen in the search for a new body for the Elder Queen, his disgust for the Grineer made it nearly impossible for him to work alongside them. But he persevered because he knew that cooperating would provide him with all the information he needs to recreate the experiment for himself.

After several tests on small droplets of Kuva, Alad V theorized that they may be able to create a warframe by applying a mixture of Mutalist and Helminth infestations to an inanimate object, and he was right, but he learned the hard way just how important it was to get the proportions right.

Why Helminth + Mutalist + inorganic material = A warframe with no emotion or independent thought:

Spoiler

A Helminth strain: Operates independently and can be used to create warframes, but it cannot bind to inorganic material and its thoughts and behavior are difficult to suppress/ control effectively.

A Mutalist strain: Operates as a hive and cannot be used to create warframes, but it can bind to any material, organic or not. A Mutalist strain's behavior is also quite difficult to suppress/ control.

A Helminth strain combined with a Mutalist strain (With the correct proportions): The Helminth strain would bind to the organic matter found within the Mutalist infestation itself. The Helminth infested strain would then overtake the Mutalist infested strain, cutting it off from its hive. Also, by binding to the Mutalist strain, the Helminth strain is now able to bind to inorganic material, but since the Helminth strain is binding to inorganic matter, it is left without a personality to adapt as its own. Resulting in a completely emotionless warframe.

He began by testing his theory on a small sample of Kuva, but he used too much Mutalist infestation in the solution. Even though it was just a small sample, it became so violent it nearly ripped Alad V's head off right away. It was even more violent than any infested creature Alad V has seen so far. It's a miracle he was able to get out alive. In the end, they were able to contain and kill the creature. The Worm Queen also set up several safety precautions in preparation for the next experiment.

In Alad V's second test he fully expected to be eaten alive, but he didn't use enough Mutalist infestation in the solution this time. The sample just moved slightly, and instantly fell apart.

That was when Alad V realized; Too much Mutalist=violent, Not enough Mutalist=weak (this effect is specific to when it is used on an inanimate object). It took only 4 more tests before Alad V was able to perfect the Mutalist to Helminth Ratio. Sample #6, not too weak and not too aggressive, neutral in every sense of the word. Both a shell and a weapon, without any thoughts or feelings of its own. The perfect qualities for the Elder Queen's new body. Sample #6 is what paved the way for sample #7, later known as Guen.

Eventually, with a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains, they were able to apply that mixture of disease to Kuva and create Guen. A whole new breed of warframe, one that was never alive to begin with.

You may be wondering how the Worm Queen would be able to create the Helminth strain of infested. Well, the Grineer Queens were once Orokin. The Worm Queen has overheard bits and pieces of the warframe building process from Ballis’ conversations with Silvana, which turned out to be all the information the Worm Queen needed to develop her own Helminth strain, with the help of her Grineer scientists of course.

Although they were making progress, Alad V was still opposed to the Grineer Queens having such a powerful weapon. This is why Alad V kept tabs on where each of the blueprints were hidden.

When Alad V finally got the chance he contacted the Tenno, explained what was happening, and revealed where all of Guen's blueprints were hidden as payment for his protection. Although Alad V didn’t like the Tenno very much, right now they were the lesser evil, and it was in his best interest to make sure that the Elder Queen stays dead. Also, he was almost certain that as soon as the Worm Queen finally got what she wanted, she would have him executed, so he didn't exactly have a choice. Unfortunately, Alad V had no idea that the Elder Queen was already being resurrected.

When the Worm Queen finally produced a viable replacement for the Elder Queen’s current body she wasted no time in presenting it to her, but then she remembered that the Elder Queen is still dead. The Worm Queen quickly got to work on transferring the Elder Queen's consciousness so that the Elder Queen could see what a great job she did in making her new body.

But this was no typical transfer. Sure, the Worm Queen could have just used Red (Crimson) Kuva, but the Queens were far too clever for that. They knew better than to make the obvious choice. There was the choice between Blue Kuva (which is temporary) and Red Kuva (which is permanent), but the Queens decided long ago to make a third choice for themselves. By mixing Red Kuva with Blue Kuva the Queens can create Purple Kuva; extremely powerful, extremely rare, and extremely unstable. Purple Kuva begins to deteriorate as soon as it is made, and it does so even more quickly than an Argon Crystal. For this reason, most Orokin did not tamper with Purple Kuva, for if used incorrectly bad things happen. The first time an Orokin scientist experimented with Purple Kuva he died instantly with seemingly no hope of revival. This terrified the Orokin to no end. Since then the Orokin have instituted a strict ban on Purple Kuva for fear of mortality, but then the Orokin were overthrown and exterminated. Somehow the Queens managed to concoct their own Purple Kuva mixture (shout out to all the Grineer volunteers they killed in the process), and since the Orokin were long gone, there was nothing stopping them.

Sure, when done incorrectly the consequences are quite extreme, but the Queens did not see consequence, they saw opportunity. For when used correctly the results are quite impressive. Purple Kuva can transfer an Orokin consciousness into another body permanently, just like Red Kuva. But, unlike Red Kuva, if the Orokin dies while within its new body, its soul and consciousness will be preserved and returned to its previous body, where they will remain until they are provided with another vessel.

When the Elder Queen finally came to in her new skin she was disoriented and confused at first. The Elder Queen saw that the Worm Queen seemed really excited about something, but she didn't know what, and frankly she didn’t care at the time.

It took a little while for the Elder Queen to finally understand what was happening, but once she did there was no stopping her. The Elder Queen knew that this discovery would change EVERYTHING, and now nothing could stand in her way, not even the Tenno.

"You've done well... worm", says the Elder Queen as she examines her work. A huge smile begins to grow on the Worm Queen's face. She is so proud of what she's done and so happy that her sister likes it.

There was an adjustment period for the Elder Queen. Being dead for so long took its toll. She had to learn how to walk again, and it didn’t come easy. It made her furious not being able to do something so simple, each stumble made her livid with rage.

But once she finally got her bearings the Elder Queen got right to work on harnessing her newfound abilities.

Although the Worm Queen had already fulfilled her primary objective, which was to revive the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will continue to collect Kuva. She never stops collecting Kuva because she keeps thinking of new ways to use it to her advantage. The Worm Queen has no shortage of ideas, and she’s already begun to make some of those ideas a reality.

-{Acquisition #3} Quest, "The Kuva Queen":

After having successfully completed 3 Kuva Flood missions, you will get a new quest called “The Kuva Queen”. Completing this Quest will reward you with Guen's main blueprint and 15,000 Kuva.

More info:

Spoiler

•After accepting this quest you will get a message from Alad V, who is now reluctantly working for the Worm Queen to help build an extremely dangerous weapon. He whispers his message so he isn’t overheard. He says that we’re all in danger and that if anyone found out about this message he would surely be killed.

•He warns you about Guen and says that if you don’t act fast the consequences of this creation will be catastrophic, except he doesn’t call her “Guen”. In the “Kuva Queen” quest. Guen doesn’t officially get a name until the quest is completed. Instead, any time someone refers to Guen, they say “it” or “the warframe” or “the beast”.

•Anyway, he tells you that luckily the warframe is yet to be built, so there’s still time. He tells you that the Worm Queen has hidden some of the warframe's blueprints in various Grineer bases, but in exchange for their location he wants freedom. He is afraid that as soon the Worm Queen learns of his betrayal he will be executed. He quickly tells you his current location. Then you hear the voice of someone else, and with a fearful voice Alad V responds “Nothing, just talking to myself” and the message cuts off.

(The first 4 quest missions may seem a bit too easy, but the enemies in each of those missions will be pretty high level. So if the mission itself isn’t challenging enough, the enemies will make up for it.)

 

{Quest mission, 1} (Alad V):

This mission will begin as a rescue mission and end as an extermination mission.

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission, you will be tasked with rescuing Alad V and escorting him to extraction. Once you have rescued Alad V simply exterminate all remaining enemies and extract.

(The reason you need to exterminate all of the enemies after every mission is to make sure that the Worm Queen is never made aware of your plans.)

 

{Quest mission, 2} (Chassis):

The chassis blueprint mission will begin as a sabotage mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin the mission, you will be tasked with stealing the chassis blueprint, only the Worm Queen has separated it into 5 fragments for increased security. There will be 5 different markers on the mini-map, each directing you to a different chassis blueprint fragment. Simply find and steal each one, and kill the remaining enemies.

•Once you have completed the Guen chassis mission you will return to your orbiter, where you will destroy the chassis blueprint to make sure that the Grineer Queens never get their hands on it.

(The chassis blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 3} (Neuroptics):
The neuroptics blueprint mission will begin as a mobile defense mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission, your objective will be to steal the Guen neuroptics blueprint, only, this blueprint has already been uploaded to several different sources digitally, and such an elaborate blueprint takes time to extract.

•You’ll have to deliver payloads and defend a number of locations while the Lotus extracts all records of the neuroptics blueprint from Grineer servers. Once you have done that, all that will be left to do is eliminate the remaining enemies and head to extraction.

•Once you return to your orbiter you will delete the Guen neuroptics blueprint.

(The neuroptics blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 4} (Systems):
The systems blueprint mission will begin as a stealth mission and end as an extermination mission. But the stealth portion isn't what you'd expect, it will be more like the mastery rank 9 test.

More info:

Spoiler

•Each enemy will be provided with their own communication systems for increased security. This means that if anyone detects you, they will alert all of the other enemies, as well as their Queen. Meaning not only is the Worm Queen now aware of your plans, but the other enemies have been prompted to hide and secure the blueprint. Making the mission a complete failure.

•So, at the beginning of the mission, before stealing the blueprint, your task will be; Get to their communication controls, hack them, and disable them, all without being seen. Then simply steal the systems blueprint, exterminate the remaining enemies, and head to extraction.

•Once you return to the orbiter you will destroy the Guen systems blueprint.

(The system blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 5} ( Blueprint):
The Guen blueprint mission is just an assassination mission. And, according to Alad V, it is the last mission you’ll need to do in order to neutralize the threat.

More info:

Spoiler

•Alad V will tell you that you have to kill the Worm Queen to steal the final traces of Guen because she keeps the main blueprint on her at all times.

•When you finally get to the Worm Queen she seems caught off guard. She’ll say “Tenno! What are you doing here! How ever did you find me!” Then the Operator will give a powerful speech about justice and whatnot, then once the speech is done, the Operator will fire a shot at the Worm Queen in an attempt to begin the fight, but the blast goes right through her.

•The void blast leaves behind a small flicker in the place where it should have pierced the Worm Queen. “It’s a hologram!” Says the Operator. A brief closeup of the small device projecting it from above is shown, confirming his theory.

•A large evil smile begins to form on her face. “Do you really think I’m that stupid Tenno?!” She says, "All this time you’ve spent plotting behind my back, sabotaging my plans, DESTROYING MY KUVA SIPHONS!! *sigh* (she takes a moment to calm down a bit) Now it’s your turn Tenno."

•"That's right! I knew all along that Alad V would betray me. It was all part of my diabolical plan! Oh, I almost forgot! You may not be able to recognize her at first, but I brought an old friend here that just can’t wait to see you, Isn’t that right sis?” That was when Guen, or rather, the Elder Queen, stepped into view. Her exterior appears to be made out of hardened Kuva. “Hello Tenno” says the Elder Queen “Miss me?”. The Operator stares for a moment in disbelief. She must be an imposter he thinks, but then he looks into her eyes, her eyes are identical to that of the Elder Queen (A brief flashback of the Elder Queen’s face just before her previous death plays, as a way to fill the player in on what the Operator is thinking) “It’s her...”

•The Operator, filled with shock, fear, and rage knows not what to do. So he simply drops to the floor with defeat. “All of that work, for nothing” he mumbles to himself. He had done everything within his power to bury the Elder Queen for good, yet it wasn’t enough.

•“Well anyway, enough drama.” Says the Worm Queen “The reason I lured you here is, TO WATCH YOU DIE! Muahahahahahaha!” Suddenly the Worm Queen's face hardens as she gazes upon the Operator, still wallowing in his defeat. She stares at him with pure hatred in her eyes, but only for a moment.

•The Worm Queen then violently slams on a button on her end of the hologram. Suddenly all of the doors around him slam shut. The words “SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED!” blast the Operator’s eardrums from every direction, but he hardly even notices. “Good luck Tenno!” Says the Elder Queen as she chuckles.

•The room around him begins to shake violently, fires start to spread, everything starts to fall apart, and a countdown timer gets displayed on the bottom of the screen, but the Operator remains on the floor with his head down.

•“Operator! Operator!! Please get up! Can’t you see you’re in danger!” Pleads Ordis, but the Operator hardly moves a muscle. As Ordis pleads and pleads the Operator begins to slowly raise his head, and Ordis’ voice slowly fades away until there is nothing left but silence. The Operator looks directly at the Queens with extreme intensity and says, “I will find you”. The Elder Queen Remains unfazed, but the Worm Queen shows a hint of fear for only a moment. Then the Operator quickly shoots the device projecting the hologram, cutting off its signal.

•He then slowly picks himself back up and Ordis’ voice slowly fades back in. “OPERATOR PLEASE!!! OPERA— Oh! thank goodness, for a moment there I was sure I had lost you! I was so worr—” “What’s the plan Ordis” the Operator says bluntly “Oh, yes of course Operator, I found an alternate exit while you were— um... I’ve taken the liberty of marking it on your minimap” “Thanks Ordis”.

•Then just head to extraction before the timer hits zero and you have completed the first Guen blueprint mission.

•When you finally get back to your orbiter it will say “mission success: summary”, then display the quest completion message, only it will say “Quest Incomplete, The Kuva Queen”. It will seem as though you had lost, it will seem as though that were the last mission, but then Ordis will say, “Operator, I am detecting some unusual activity on *so and so planet*” That’s when you will begin the final mission of the “Kuva Queen” quest.

{Quest mission, 6} ( Blueprint, for real this time):
All that you have left to do is track down the Elder Queen in her new form and kick her out of Guen, only she’s super powerful now.

More info:

Spoiler

Defeating the elder Queen in this form will be very similar to defeating a Kuva Lich, but there are a few key differences:

Spoiler

-Unlike Kuva Liches, the Elder Queen is immune to Requiem mods and Parazons. The Elder Queen can only be defeated by using transference on her 3 times (meaning there's no guessing involved). Doing this will loosen the Elder Queen's grip just enough to separate her from Guen.

-The Elder Queen's Kuva Thralls will not provide the player with Requiem Murmurs. However, they do still have a chance of dropping Requiem relics.

-When you go into the Elder Queen's Kuva Lich information menu; weaknesses, resistances, and all other potentially useful information about her will be illegible. It will be full of question marks, scribbles, and all sorts of random symbols where the actual information should be.

-The areas claimed by the Elder Queen will be highlighted orange instead of red, and the Elder Queen's Kuva Thralls will have a dark orange outline around them instead of a blue one. This will prevent confusion for anyone who has a Kuva Lich while completing this quest.

-Unlike Kuva Liches, the Elder Queen cannot be converted... obviously.

 

Basically everything else about this fight is the same as a Kuva Lich fight:

1) Kill Kuva Liches to draw her out

2) Once you've drawn her out, lower her health and go for the kill

3) Repeat steps 1 & 2

4) Repeat steps 1 & 2 again

5) Victory!

 

•Once you have weakened the Elder Queen enough, you’ll be prompted to use transference on her one last time. Once you do, you will transfer into Guen, pushing out the Elder Queen. Unfortunately, the Elder Queen trying her best to resist causes severe damage to Guen during transference, leaving behind nothing but Guen’s main blueprint.

•While the Elder Queen had once again been defeated, this was not the end. Just as the Elder Queen was being forced out of Guen she said something like: “You may have beaten me for now, but the war has only just begun”. Then she vanished like a ghost.

•Once you have kicked the Elder Queen out of Guen, all that's left to do is grab Guen's blueprint and head to extraction.

•When you get back to your orbiter you’ll be greeted with a proper quest completion message saying “Quest Complete, The Kuva Queen” and a congrats from Ordis. Also, after completing the “Kuva Queen” quest, you will receive a message from Alad V. As an extra thanks he sends you a little something that he stole from the Queens:  15,000.

•Then it will just be the Operator and Ordis talking amongst themselves. The Operator proceeds to ask Ordis, “So, what should we name her?”, and Ordis responds, “You want to name it!? But why Operator!? Didn’t it try to kill you?” “No, it didn’t try to kill me, the Queens did, and we have to call it something, we can’t just keep calling it, 'it' all the time.” “Operator, please tell me you’re not thinking of rebuilding that thing, what if it’s a trap!? What if they wanted this to happen!?” “It’s not Ordis, trust me.” “Well, if you must name it, how about; DEVIL!, DEMON SPAWN!, EVIL!, GARBAGE!, NOT TO BE TRUSTED!, Guen... TOILET WATER! MURDERER! GARBA—” “Whoa, back up a little.” “Yes of course Operator; TOILET WATER! MURD—” “No no, before that, Guen, that’s not bad. Yeah, Guen, I like it.” "YUCK! Guen is a STUPID name, whoever came up with that should go DIE! also...”

 

-Future story:

Spoiler

Once you finally throw the Elder Queen out of Guen, her soul and mind will travel back to her previous corpse. They will remain trapped there until she is provided with a new body. (This is a result of the Purple Kuva [(See "Lore/ Backstory" for more info)])

...Meanwhile, Alad V is putting together his very own warframe. And its name is Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist frame #2), another frame concept of mine. Here's the link:

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1223753-ferro-the-robotic-warframe-🤖-mutalist-frame-2/

 

Long after the discovery of Guen and the defeat of the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will begin to construct her second Kuva beast, one far more powerful than the last, similar at its core, yet different in every way, evolved.

The Elder Queen is not in this one. This time the Worm Queen created a weapon that she can control remotely. She wants to get the Tenno out of the way before bringing the Elder Queen back once again.

This Kuva Creation is not made of pure Kuva. It will have mechanical tentacles, metal claws, and other attachments which add to its evil sinister vibe. It will also have pitch-black eyes. Its eyes make it appear much more dead than alive. And this new evil Kuva creation has no name. It will never have a name because this time you don't get to bring it home and name it. Once you have defeated it there will be no blueprints for you to salvage.

This new Kuva weapon is going to be much bigger and stronger than Guen, all of its abilities/ attacks will be completely different, and it will be defeated in a vastly different way. It will be more like a boss than a Lich. This boss will spawn on a new node in the Kuva Fortress, but only while "Guen Preme" is unvaulted.

--> [(If you're wondering why "Guen Prime" is called "Guen Preme" there is a full explanation in the "Notes" tab)] <--

Upon defeating this boss there is a chance that it will drop one of Guen Preme's blueprints. This is the only way of getting Guen Preme's blueprints, unless you trade for them. (This boss is only available while Guen Preme is unvaulted).

After having destroyed the Worm Queen's second fancy Kuva suit, it will be clear that the Worm Queen is far more cunning and dangerous than she appears, and the only way to make this madness stop would be to kill the Worm Queen. But you never get the chance (You can’t because then that would mean the end of Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions).

 

When you finally build Guen Preme, her appearance will slightly resemble that of the monster you retrieved her blueprints from, but of course, Guen Preme will also slightly resemble Guen, the very first of her kind. Now, although they are similar, that does not make them the same. Here are a few things that set them apart:

1) Guen Preme is mostly light red, unlike Guen, who has more of a deep red color to her.

2) Whenever the Operator exits Guen Preme, the color of her eyes (and her Kuva Thralls' eyes) will turn pitch-black, instead of gray like Guen. This suggests that Guen Preme is even more compliant and emotionless than Guen. Does this mean that the standard Guen has at least some remanence of a soul? Evidence of this has yet to be seen, but maybe... just maybe...

3) Guen Preme isn't made up of pure Kuva. Guen Preme has several metallic enhancements. These metallic enhancements have a faint, yet noticeable, tint of gold to them, as well as a much more noticeable tint of silver. Each of these metallic enhancements protrude out of her body in a seemingly random fashion, but something tells me it is not as random as it appears. Whether or not these enhancements will directly impact Guen Preme's gameplay is unknown.

 

Long after having killed the Worm Queen's second Kuva creature, the Elder Queen will return once again. This time, the body that the Elder Queen resurfaces in will be a bit different from the last. Instead of a new Kuva warframe with which to fight off the Tenno and take over the world, this time, it’s more of a computer-Kuva hybrid.

In this new vessel the Elder Queen will look kind of like Cephalon Simaris, but with some strong identifying features. The Elder Queen will be hooked up to a bunch of big messy wires and huge clunky monitors, all of which are covered in Kuva.

The Operator will be told to fight another evil Kuva creature, under the impression that it is the Elder Queen’s new body. But defeating it comes far too easily and the Operator gets suspicious. As the Operator continues to investigate his suspicions, he eventually learns the truth. The Elder Queen is no longer of one mind, and that creature was no warframe, it was one of the Worm Queen's latest inventions.

The Worm Queen has built for the Elder Queen a cyber-neural command center with which she can remotely control hundreds of her Grineer soldiers simultaneously. In other words, she created an entire army of mindless Kuva infused Grineer which the Elder Queen can control from a distance. These Grineer are far more powerful than regular Grineer, but they’re also a bit dumber, so they miss a lot (The Elder Queen can only focus on so many things at once). They kind of look like Guen's deluxe skin, but in the shape of Grineer, and each one of them have red eyes, almost identical to the Elder Queen's.

You will try to blow up the computer she now resides in, with a little help from Rex (The new Corpus leader, formerly known as "Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist frame #2)"), but you quickly realize that she can simply transfer her consciousness to a different computer instantly.

She’s a hive mind now, and there appears to be no way of stopping her. But you will never stop trying, because once you get to the Elder Queen, you dismantle her entire army of Grineer puppets, and you leave the Worm Queen completely vulnerable. This would provide you with a chance to end it all for good. The death of the Worm Queen would finally mark the end of one of the Tenno’s biggest threats. But of course, this could never happen. It would only get very close. The Worm Queen will always escape somehow, again and again, always renewing the never-ending cycle. The endless struggle between the Queens, and the Tenno.

 

Long after the Elder Queen's failed assassination, the Elder Queen began to desire more than power alone, she wanted revenge, and there just so happened to be a way of obtaining both... Rex.

Control Rex = revenge & power.  If the Elder Queen were able to control Rex, not only would she be rid of her most recent enemy, she would also have complete control over the Corpus. And if she played her cards right, maybe she could use the combination of Grineer and Corpus forces to bring down the Tenno. Sure, controlling a warframe that has a mind of its own would normally be too difficult, especially over long distances, but Rex is a robot, and robots can be hacked into.

The Elder Queen shared her plan with the Worm Queen and tasked her with finding a way to invade Rex's mind. The Worm Queen gathered all of their most competent hackers/ technicians and got to work on upgrading the Elder Queen's computer with highly intense Corpus hacking capabilities.

After just a few days the Elder Queen's new weapon was ready for use, and the Elder Queen wasted little time. The Elder Queen was able to successfully hack into Rex using her new electronic weapon, and her first act as Corpus puppet master was to declare war on the Tenno alongside the Grineer.

Unfortunately for the Elder Queen, the Corpus were able to quickly figure out what was happening. Maybe it was allying with the Grineer, or waging war on the Tenno, or the fact that Rex's eyes had suddenly turned red, but whatever it was that tipped them off, the Corpus were not happy about it. They had just begun to warm up to their new leader, so they weren't going to just let the Queens come in and ruin everything.

The first thing they needed to do was restrain Rex so that they could get the Elder Queen out of his head, but they couldn't do that alone since the Elder Queen had taken control of all their robotics. They decided to call up the Tenno and ask them to beat up their possessed leader.

After successfully defeating Rex, the Operator uses transference to help Rex break free from the Elder Queen's grasp. Once free, and the Queen's diabolical plan foiled, Rex fortified his mind to prevent any future attempts to break into his mind. From now on, no one will be able to control or hack into Rex, not even the Tenno.

 

-Trivia:

Spoiler

•Guen is short for Sanguen, which is an old Latin word for blood (To make life easier for all the fact-checkers out there; the word "sanguen" can be found on a site called "online-latin-dictionary.com", which claims to be "the largest and most complete online Latin dictionary").

•Guen is a whole new breed of warframe. Unlike the other warframes, Guen was never alive, even before being turned into a warframe. She was created when a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains were applied to Kuva. Just as Excalibur Umbra is the first Umbra frame, Guen is the first Mutalist frame.

•There has yet to be a Mutalist warframe that was created from a living organism. It is possible, it just hasn't been done yet.

•Since Guen is an inanimate object she is unable to feel emotion and she cannot think for herself. Luckily the Operator will always be there to do all of the thinking for her.

•Guen is the first frame to have a "Premed" variant instead of a "Primed" variant. Guen's lore doesn't really allow for a Primed variant, but it does allow for an enhanced version of the standard Guen, which is exactly what Guen Preme is. Premed frames are not as powerful as Primed frames, but they're not too far behind. ("Preme" is short for "Supreme" by the way) [(More info on "Premed frames" can be found in the "Notes" tab.)]

•Guen Preme is actually a specific sub-type of Preme frame: "A Mutalist Preme Warframe". In theory, there can be up to 2, maybe even 3 other types of Preme frames, but as of right now the only type of Preme frame is the Mutalist Preme frame. (Other types of Preme frames may include: A Mutalist Preme frame created from a living organism, And a standard Preme frame created from a living organism) [(More info on "Premed frames" can be found in the "Notes" tab.)]

•The reason Guen’s deluxe skin is called “Lakshmi” is because Kuva, in Sanskrit, means lotus. And the name “Lakshmi” belongs to a Hindu goddess who is often associated with the lotus flower and is even sometimes referred to as the lotus goddess.

•Guen is the first and only warframe to have a max rank of 40.

•Guen is the first and only warframe capable of performing valence fusion.

•Guen has the highest price out of any warframe in the codex ( 400).

•Guen has one of the most expensive deluxe skins in Warframe ( 200). Guen’s “Lakshmi” skin is tied for most expensive with Nyx’s “Pasithea” skin.

•Guen is the first warframe that does not have definitive polarities.

•Guen is the first and only warframe to have Overhealth capabilities.

For DE, if they decide to make this Frame:

Spoiler

1) Don’t use the artwork below in Guen’s design, that artwork is not mine. It is only there to give you an idea of what Guen should look like more or less.

2) There are older versions of this post saved in tab #7, and even older versions saved in tab #4. Some of the saves in tab #4 are almost identical to one another, but there may still be some good ideas to work with in there.

3) Although I have created a sequel to Guen (Ferro, The Robotic Warframe), please don’t feel like you need to either make both of them or neither of them. If I had to choose one I would choose Guen every time, and the lore has enough wiggle room for you to cut Ferro out completely.

4) I don’t know what all the rules are on plagiarism/ copyright, but I will say that this frame is yours to do whatever you wish so long as I get credit for the part I played in its creation. I made this frame to be in the game after all, not based on what I wanted to see in the game, but rather what I thought would fit best into the Warframe universe and its gameplay. And hopefully it will be easier for you to make this frame without being accused of plagiarism/ copyright because I haven’t created any artwork for it, only ideas.

-->Things you should know about Guen:

Spoiler

- Health drain:

What you need to know:

Guen manipulates her own health in order to supplement her abilities.

Some of Guen's abilities will drain a percentage of her health, but once an ability has run its course, the health you spent on it will be refunded. To make up for this, Guen uses up less energy than normal on each of her abilities. All this really means is that you have basically all the energy you need anywhere you go, but if you spam your abilities you’re gonna end up killing yourself.

More info:

Spoiler

•Every time you spend health on an ability, a number will appear on the bottom right of your screen, above its corresponding symbol. This number represents the percent of your max health that you currently have invested in that ability. Meaning if I use “Cumulus Kuva” and only hit one enemy, there will be “3%” above the “Cumulus Kuva” symbol. As abilities are activated and refunded, this percentage will go up and down, but if an ability has been completely refunded it will just say “0%” above the corresponding symbol.

•If you’re ever in serious danger of dying and you still have some abilities active, you can choose to manually deactivate them and claim the refund. This would cause Guen to call back all of the Kuva you spent on that ability. Simply hold the ability activation button on any of her abilities to deactivate it, which would refund all of the health you spent on that particular ability.

•To prevent people from spamming Guen's deactivation feature and becoming invincible, deactivation has a cool down of about 6 seconds for each ability.

•Mods that influence energy efficiency (Example: streamline) will still affect Guen’s energy consumption, but these mods will have no affect on her abilities’ health consumption.

({This health drain idea was created with the help of “chris1pat8twins”, and developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

- Status effects:

What you need to know:

Guen gains status effects through valence fusion.

Guen can have any status effect, but only one at a time. Guen can only obtain a status effect through valence fusion. This means that, if you have a Kuva weapon, you can fuse that weapon with Guen, then Guen will receive that weapon's status effect. She is technically a Kuva weapon after all.

More info:

Spoiler

•Guen will not have status effects in any of her abilities unless valence fusion is preformed. Her abilities will still do damage, just not as much.

•The percentage of status effect on the corresponding Kuva weapon will directly influence how much damage Guen's status effect deals.

 

 

-|| Ability #1, “Cumulus Kuva”:

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 18 energy

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 3% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen shoots a small Kuva Cloud projectile out of her hands, affecting small groups of up to about 3-5 enemies without the use of range mods. ((Shooting an enemy with a Kuva Cloud while it’s standing in a Kuva Puddle will increase the duration and damage dealt upon that enemy.))

Shooting an enemy with a Kuva Cloud disorients/ stuns it for a short time while also inflicting a status effect upon it (status effect determined by valence fusion [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)]).

More info:

Spoiler

•If an enemy is hit by 2 different Kuva Clouds, both the damage and health drain will stack.

•Shooting one of Guen's Kuva Thralls with a Kuva Cloud will temporarily buff its damage, attack speed, and movement speed.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls will always prioritize enemies which are being affected by Guen's “Cumulus Kuva” ability. The more Kuva Clouds cast on a single enemy, the more likely a Kuva Thrall is to target it.

(Once this ability has either run it’s course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

-Augment Mod #1:

Spoiler

"I don't know yet, let me know if you think of anything" (Cumulus Kuva Augment):

 

 

-|| Ability #2, “Flood”:

Ability activation limit: Guen can only have 1 Kuva Puddle active at a time (3 at rank 30, 4 at rank 40)

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 36 energy

Health cost (Per ability activation): 6% (of Guen’s max health)

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 1% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen’s body begins to liquify slightly. Then suddenly a flood of Kuva spews from her body in every direction, violently knocking back any enemies within its radius while also inflicting a status effect upon them (status effect determined by valence fusion [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)]).

After this flood dissipates it will temporarily leave behind a large Kuva Puddle for about 25 seconds. This Kuva Puddle will continue to inflict status damage upon each enemy that sets foot within its radius. ((If an enemy is standing within a Kuva Puddle, the effectiveness and duration of other abilities/ attacks on that enemy will be enhanced.))

More info:

Spoiler

•Any time the number of enemies within a Kuva Puddle exceeds 3, then that Puddle will pull all of the enemies into its center. These enemies, as well as any others who decide to join them, will remain trapped in the center of the Kuva Puddle until it is no longer active (Unless they die before then).

•After 25 seconds have passed, the Kuva puddle will evaporate from the ground and reenter Guen. When this happens, any Kuva which originated from that Kuva Puddle will return to Guen as well. This means that all enemies still receiving the corresponding status effect will no longer feel its wrath.

(Once this ability has either run it’s course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

({This ability was developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

-Augment Mod #2:

Spoiler

 "Kuva Pool" (Flood Augment):

Guen is now able to stack her Kuva Puddles on top of one another infinitely. Stacking a Kuva Puddle will not only add to the life span of that Kuva Puddle, but it will also increase its damage and range.

Spoiler

•The damage and range stacked onto a Kuva Puddle caps at a certain point.

•The health stacked onto a Kuva Puddle won't be refunded until the Kuva Puddle as a whole is no longer active. Although you can always manually deactivate it.

•Any time the number of enemies within a Kuva Puddle exceeds 3, then that Puddle will pull all of the enemies into its center. These enemies, as well as any others who decide to join them, will remain trapped in the center of the Kuva Puddle until it is no longer active (Unless they die before then).

•This Augment Mod can be used to corral enemies and damage them quickly. But even better, this Augment Mod can be used as a health pool, a place to throw all of your health so that when you claim the refund your health shoots way up into Overhealth.

 

 

-|| Ability #3, “Health Siphon”:

Energy cost: 54 energy

Health replenished: 8% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen becomes invincible for 3 seconds. During this time she will extract Kuva Clouds from her surroundings and absorb them as health, at the cost of energy. ((If Guen is standing in one of her Kuva Puddles when “Health Siphon” is activated, then she will gain more health from it than she normally would have.))

Every time “Health Siphon” is activated Guen will send out a healing pulse. Any allies within range of this pulse will heal by half of what Guen healed.

More info:

Spoiler

•If Guen already has near full health when “Health Siphon” is activated, then the access health will be added on as Overhealth instead. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's healing pulse. This means that Guen can grant allies with Overhealth by using this ability.

•The amount of health Guen gains from this ability scales up with ability strength.

•This ability has a cooldown of about 2 seconds. This is to prevent people from becoming invincible by pairing it with mods like Hunters Adrenaline.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Health Siphon" does nothing.

-Augment Mod #3:

Spoiler

 "Energy Siphon" (Health Siphon Augment):

Health cost: 8% (of Guen’s max health)

Energy replenished: 54 energy

Instead of absorbing Kuva Clouds as health (at the cost of energy), Guen will absorb them as energy (at the cost of health).

Every time “Energy Siphon” is activated Guen will send out an energizing pulse. Any allies within range of this pulse will receive energy equal to half of what Guen received.

More info:

Spoiler

•If Guen already has near full energy when “Energy Siphon” is activated, then the access energy will simply go to waste. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's energizing pulse.

•The amount of energy Guen gains from this ability scales up with ability strength.

•This ability has a cooldown of about 2 seconds.

 

 

-|| Ability #4, “Self Destruction”:

Energy cost: 0 energy

Activating Guen's "Self Destruction" ability will cause Guen to refund all health spent on active abilities. She will then send out all of the refunded health as damage on nearby enemies. ((If Guen is standing in one of her Kuva Puddles when “Self Destruction” is activated, then she will deal more damage than she normally would have.))

More info:

Spoiler

•The damage dealt by this ability scales up with ability strength

•Holding the activation button for "Self Destruction" will simply deactivate all active abilities.

-Augment Mod #4:

Spoiler

"I don't know yet, let me know if you think of anything" (Self Destruction Augment):

 

 

-|| Passive:  

-{Passive #1} "Death Evasion":

If Guen ever runs out of health, so long as some of her abilities are still active, she won’t bleed out. Instead, her current body will fall, and the Kuva from her active abilities will rush there to form her a new body. When this happens, her health upon reconstruction will be equivalent to the health she had spent on her active abilities.

More info:

Spoiler

•The health Guen salvages from her abilities through “Death Evasion” will not scale up with ability strength.

•After “Death Evasion” has been activated, Guen will be given temporary health regeneration and a moderately long grace period (All of Guen’s abilities will be locked for the duration of this grace period).

•Once Guen's “Death Evasion” passive ability is used, it cannot be used again until Guen’s health has been fully regenerated.

({This passive was created with the help of “Velitria”, and developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”}) 

 

-{Passive #2} "Overhealth":

Overhealth cap: 2400

Guen can potentially achieve Overhealth any time one of her abilities are refunded.

Guen can also use her "Health Siphon" ability to grant both herself, as well as her allies, with Overhealth.

More info:

Spoiler

•Without the use of mods, Guen can achieve Overhealth by healing from external sources, then claiming the refund on her abilities. With nowhere else to go, the access health will simply be added onto her existing health in the form of Overhealth.

•Through the use of strength mods (Example: intensify), Guen can heal herself as well as achieve Overhealth. At 100% ability strength, ability refunds give her exactly as much as she invested. But at 130% ability strength, ability refunds give her 30% more health than she invested (Refunded health caps at 200%). Meaning, if she has low health, she can use her ability refund to save herself and heal back to a more comfortable level. And If she already has near max health, she can use the refund to really boost her health over the top in the form of Overhealth.

•Whenever Guen has Overhealth her health bar turns orange. Everything else about Overhealth is basically the same as overshields.

({This passive was created with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

-{Passive #3} "Guen's Kuva Thralls":

Kuva Thrall activation limit: Guen can only have 2 Kuva Thralls active at a time (6 at rank 30, 8 at rank 40)

Health cost (Per Kuva Thrall): 0% (of Guen’s max health)

Every 25 seconds a nearby enemy will be converted into one of Guen's Kuva Thralls.

More info:

Spoiler

•When an enemy is converted into a Kuva Thrall it will receive a minor armor buff.

•Guen can choose to kill her Kuva Thralls using her parazon, doing this will grant Guen with however much health that Kuva Thrall had left at the time.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls have an orange outline around them, unlike a Liche's Kuva Thralls which have a blue outline around them.

•Whenever the Operator exits Guen, all of Guen's Kuva Thralls will remain frozen and invincible until the Operator reenters Guen.

•If Guen's "Death Evasion" passive is activated, her Kuva Thralls won't save her. They don't count as active abilities, and therefore cannot be refunded. If Guen is downed, and the only thing active is a Kuva Thrall, then she will die, and so will her Kuva Thralls.

-Notes:

Spoiler

•Similar to Kuva weapons, this frame’s max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per forma added).

•If you create a Kuva Lich using Guen, then the corresponding Kuva weapon will have a little bit of every type of bonus damage.

•While the Operator is within Guen, Guen's eye color (and her Kuva Thralls' eye colors) will match that of the Operator. Whenever you exit Guen, the color of her eyes (and her Kuva Thralls' eyes) will turn dark gray, absent and hallow, drained of all their vibrance and life.

 

-Lore/ Backstory:

Spoiler

Kuva, unpredictable, dangerous, and mysterious. The Worm Queen just so happens to have an abundance of that very resource. The Elder Queen’s body may have died, but the Worm Queen knew that was not the end. (I know that for some people the Elder Queen was left alive, but either way the result remains the same.)

The Elder Queen has had many bodies, she has seen the world through many pairs of eyes, and this was no different. After cheating death so many times already, it is unlikely that death will ever find her, even if she accepted it with open arms. The Elder Queen has been condemned to eternal existence, she just doesn’t know it yet.

Lucky for the Elder Queen, her sister (the Worm Queen) knew something that most others did not. She knew that even though the Elder Queen was dead she could be brought back. They call it “continuity”, the process of using Kuva to transfer one consciousness into another.

The Worm Queen began to lay out a plan, a plan that would not only bring back the Elder Queen, but effectively immortalize her for all of eternity. Using her vast Kuva reserve and Grineer servants, the Worm Queen began to design and construct her very own Warframe, a vessel untouchable by age and unafraid of death.

But she couldn't do it alone, she could only think of a select few that were up to the task. Luckily a number of these select few were already working for her, one of which a Grineer doctor named Dr. Tengus (Dr. Tengus created the Grineer Gouls). The worm Queen had more than enough brilliant minds at her disposal, and so she decided to try and make do with that for now. She hoped that they would succeed so that she didn't have to go find outside help.

Dr. Tengus, the Worm Queen, and a few other Grineer scientists worked very closely in attempting to find, not a solution, but the solution to the Elder Queen’s ailments. The Worm Queen took care of all necessary expenses. A private lab, lab assistants, and any other resources they may require. They worked day and night with little rest, well, not the Worm Queen, she simply came and went as she pleased. They worked and worked but got few results. Eventually the Worm Queen realized that they were making little progress, and so desperate measures needed to be taken.

Alad V…

Alad V once studied the infested in a search for some success in his swiftly declining career. While unsuccessful in that regard, he was able to develop a strain of infested called the Mutalist strain. This strain of infested has the ability to infect inorganic beings. This is exactly what they were missing.

With a combination of threats and bribery, the Worm Queen was able to convince Alad V to lend his expertise.

While Alad V did eventually help the Worm Queen in the search for a new body for the Elder Queen, his disgust for the Grineer made it nearly impossible for him to work alongside them. But he persevered because he knew that cooperating would provide him with all the information he needs to recreate the experiment for himself.

After several tests on small droplets of Kuva, Alad V theorized that they may be able to create a Warframe by applying a mixture of Mutalist and Helminth infestations to an inanimate object. And he was right, but he learned the hard way just how important it was to get the proportions right.

He began by testing his theory on a small sample of Kuva, but he used too much Mutalist infestation in the solution. Even though it was just a small sample, it became so violent it nearly ripped Alad V's head off right away. It was even more violent than any infested creature Alad V has seen so far. It's a miracle he was able to get out alive. In the end they were able to contain and kill the creature. The Worm Queen also set up a number of safety precautions in preparation for the next experiment.

In Alad V's second test he fully expected to be eaten alive, but he didn't use enough Mutalist infestation in the solution this time. The sample just moved slightly, and instantly fell apart.

That was when Alad v realized; Too much Mutalist=violent, Not enough Mutalist=weak (This effect is specific to when it is used on an inanimate object). It took only 3 more tests before Alad V was able to perfect the Mutalist to Helminth Ratio. Subject #6, not too weak and not too aggressive, neutral in every sense of the word. Both a shell and a weapon, without any thoughts or feelings of its own. The perfect qualities for the Elder Queen's new body. Subject #6 is what paved the way for subject #7, later known as Guen.

Eventually, with a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains, they were able to apply that mixture of disease to Kuva and create Guen. A whole new breed of Warframe, one that was never alive to begin with.

You may be wondering how the Worm Queen would be able to create the Helminth strain of infested. Well the Grineer Queens were once Orokin. The Worm Queen has overheard bits and pieces of the Warframe building process from Ballis’ conversations with Silvana, which turned out to be all the information the worm queen needed to develop her own helminth strain, with the help of her Grineer scientists of course.

Although they were making progress, Alad V was still opposed to the Grineer Queens having such a powerful weapon. Which is why Alad V kept tabs on where each of the blueprints were hidden.

When Alad V finally got the chance he contacted the Tenno, explained what was happening, and revealed where all of Guen's blueprints were hidden as payment for his protection. Although Alad V didn’t like the Tenno very much, right now they were the lesser evil, and it was in his best interest to make sure that the Elder Queen stays dead. Also, he was almost certain that as soon as the Worm Queen finally got what she wanted, she would have him executed, so he didn't exactly have a choice. Unfortunately, Alad V had no idea that the Elder Queen was already being resurrected.

When the Worm Queen finally produced a viable replacement for the Elder Queen’s current body she wasted no time in presenting it to her, but then she remembered that the Elder Queen is still dead. So the Worm Queen quickly got to work on transferring the Elder Queen's consciousness so that the Elder Queen could see what a great job she did in making her new body.

But this was no typical transfer. Sure, the Worm Queen could have just used red (crimson) Kuva, but the Worm Queen was far too clever for that. She knew better than to make the obvious choice, especially since it had failed so many times before. There was the choice between blue Kuva (which is temporary) and red Kuva (which is permanent), but the Worm Queen decided to make a third choice for herself. By mixing red Kuva with blue Kuva the Worm Queen had created violet Kuva, extremely powerful, extremely rare, and extremely unstable. Violet Kuva begins to deteriorate as soon as it is made, and it does so even more quickly than an Argon Crystal. For this reason most Orokin did not tamper with violet Kuva, for if used incorrectly bad things happen. But when used correctly the results are quite impressive. Violet Kuva has the ability to transfer an Orokin consciousness into another body permanently, just like red Kuva. But, unlike red Kuva, if the Orokin dies while within it's new body, it's soul and consciousness will be preserved and returned to it's previous body, where they will remain until they are provided with another vessel.

When the Elder Queen finally came to in her new skin she was disoriented and confused at first. The Elder Queen saw that the Worm Queen seemed really excited about something, but she didn't know what, and frankly she didn’t care to know.

It took a little while for the Elder Queen to finally understand what was happening, but once she did there was no stopping her. The Elder Queen knew that this discovery would change EVERYTHING, and now nothing could stand in her way, not even the Tenno.

"You've done well... worm", says the Elder Queen as she examines her work. A huge smile begins to grow on the Worm Queen's face. She is so proud of what she's done, and so happy that her sister likes it.

There was an adjustment period for the Elder Queen. Being dead for so long took its tole. She had to learn how to walk again, and it didn’t come easy. It made her furious not being able to do something so simple, each stumble made her livid with rage.

But once she finally got her bearings the Elder Queen got right to work on harnessing her newfound abilities.

Although the Worm Queen had already fulfilled her primary objective, which was to revive the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will continue to collect Kuva. She never stops collecting Kuva because she keeps thinking of new ways to use it to her advantage. The Worm Queen has no shortage of ideas, and she’s already begun to make some of those ideas a reality.

-{Acquisition #3} Quest, "The Kuva Queen":

After having successfully completed 3 Kuva Flood missions, you will get a new quest called “The Kuva Queen”. Completing this Quest will reward you with Guen's main blueprint and 15,000 Kuva.

More info:

Spoiler

•After accepting this quest you will get a message from Alad V, who is now reluctantly working for the Worm Queen to help build an extremely dangerous weapon. He whispers his message so he isn’t overheard. He says that we’re all in danger and that if anyone found out about this message he would surely be killed.

•He warns you about Guen and says that if you don’t act fast the consequences of this creation will be catastrophic, accept he doesn’t call her “Guen”. In the “Kuva Queen” quest. Guen doesn’t officially get a name until the quest is completed. Instead, any time someone refers to Guen, they say “it” or “the Warframe” or “the beast”.

•Anyway, he tells you that luckily the Warframe is yet to be built, so there’s still time. He tells you that the Worm Queen has hidden some of the Warframe's parts in various Grineer bases, but in exchange for their location he wants freedom, he is afraid that as soon as the Warframe is complete he will be executed. He quickly tells you what his current location is. Then you hear the voice of someone else and with a fearful voice he says “Nothing, just talking to myself”, then whispers, “I have to go” and the message cuts off.

(The first 4 quest missions may seem a bit too easy, but the enemies in each of those missions will be pretty high. So if the level itself isn’t challenging enough, the enemies will make up for it.)

 

{Quest mission, 1} (Alad V):

This mission will begin as a rescue mission and end as an extermination mission.

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission, you will be tasked with rescuing Alad V and escorting him to extraction. Once you have rescued Alad V simply exterminate all remaining enemies and extract.

(The reason you need to exterminate all of the enemies after every mission is to make sure that the Worm Queen is never made aware of your plans.)

 

{Quest mission, 2} (Chassis):

The chassis blueprint mission will begin as a sabotage mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin the mission, you will be tasked with stealing the chassis blueprint, only the Worm Queen has separated it into 5 fragments for increased security. There will be 5 different markers on the mini-map, each directing you to a different chassis blueprint fragment. Simply find and steal each one, and kill the remaining enemies.

•Once you have successfully completed the Guen chassis mission you will return to your orbiter, where you will destroy the chassis blueprint to make sure that the Grineer Queens never get their hands on it.

(The chassis blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 3} (Neuroptics):
The neuroptics blueprint mission will begin as a mobile defense mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission your objective will be to steal the Guen neuroptics blueprint, only, this blueprint has already been uploaded to several different sourses digitally, and such an elaborate blueprint takes time to extract.

•What you’ll have to do is deliver payloads and defend a number of locations while the lotus extracts all records of the neuroptics blueprint from Grineer servers. Once you have done that, all that will be left to do is eliminate the remaining enemies and head to extraction.

•Once you return to your orbiter you will destroy the Guen neuroptics blueprint.

(The neuroptics blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 4} (Systems):
The systems blueprint mission will begin as a stealth mission, and end as an extermination mission. But the stealth portion won’t be like any other, it will be more like the mastery rank 9 test.

More info:

Spoiler

•Each enemy will be provided with their own communication systems for increased security. This means that if anyone detects you they will alert all of the other enemies, as well as their Queen. Meaning not only is the Worm Queen now aware of your plans, but the other enemies have been prompted to hide and secure the blueprint. Making the mission a complete failure.

•So, in the start of this mission, before stealing the blueprint, your task will be to get to their communication controls, hack it, and disable it, all without being seen. Then simply steal the systems blueprint, exterminate the remaining enemies, and head to extraction.

•Once you return to the orbiter you will destroy the Guen systems blueprint.

(The system blueprint's real acquisition is through either of the RNG methods; Kuva Lich farming or Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions.)

{Quest mission, 5} ( Blueprint):
The Guen blueprint mission is just an assassination mission. And, according to Alad V, it is the last mission you’ll need to do in order to neutralize the threat.

More info:

Spoiler

•Alad V will tell you that you have to kill the Worm Queen to steal the final traces of Guen, because she keeps the main blueprint on her at all times.

•When you finally get to the Worm Queen she seems caught off guard. She’ll say “Tenno! What are you doing here! How ever did you find me!” Then the Operator will give a powerful speech about justice and whatnot, then once the speech is done, the Operator will fire a shot at the Worm Queen in an attempt to begin the fight, but the blast goes right through her.

•The void blast leaves behind a small flicker in the place where it should have pierced the Worm Queen. “It’s a hologram!” Says the Operator. A brief close up of the small device projecting it from above is shown, confirming his theory.

•A large evil smile begins to form on her face. “Do you really think I’m that stupid Tenno?!” She says, "All this time you’ve spent plotting behind my back, sabotaging my plans, DESTROYING MY KUVA SIPHONS!! *sigh* (She takes a moment to calm down a bit) now it’s your turn Tenno."

•"That's right! I knew all along that Alad V would betray me. It was all part of my diabolical plan! Oh, I almost forgot! You may not be able to recognize her at first, but I brought an old friend here that just can’t wait to see you, Isn’t that right sis?” That was when Guen, or rather, the Elder Queen, stepped into view. Her exterior appears to be made out of hardened Kuva. “Hello Tenno” says the Elder Queen “Miss me?”. The Operator stares for a moment in disbelief. She must be an imposter he thinks, but then he looks into her eyes, her eyes are identical to that of the Elder Queen (A brief flashback of the Elder Queen’s face just before her previous death plays, as a way to fill the player in on what the Operator is thinking) “It’s her...”

•The Operator, filled with shock, fear, and rage knows not what to do. So he simply drops to the floor with defeat. “All of that work, for nothing” he mumbles to himself. He had done everything within his power to bury the Elder Queen for good, yet it wasn’t enough.

•“Well anyway, enough drama.” Says the Worm Queen “The reason I lured you here is, TO WATCH YOU DIE! Muahahahahahaha!” Suddenly the Worm Queen's face hardens as she gazes upon the Operator, still wallowing in his defeat. She stares at him with pure hatred in her eyes, but only for a moment.

•The Worm Queen then violently slams on a button on her end of the hologram. Suddenly all of the doors around you slam shut. The words “SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED!” blast the Operator’s eardrums from every direction, but he hardly even notices. “Good luck Tenno!” Says the Elder Queen as she chuckles.

•The room around you begins to shake violently, fires start to spread, everything starts to fall apart, and a count down timer gets displayed on the bottom of your screen, but the Operator remains on the floor with his head down.

•“Operator! Operator! Please get up! Can’t you see you’re in danger!” Pleads Ordis, but the Operator hardly moves a muscle. As Ordis pleads and pleads the Operator begins to slowly raise his head, and Ordis’ voice slowly fades away until there is nothing left but silence. The Operator looks directly at the Queens with extreme intensity and says, “I will find you”. The Elder Queen Remains unfazed, but the Worm Queen shows a hint of fear for only a moment. Then the Operator quickly shoots the device projecting the hologram, cutting off its signal.

•He then slowly picks himself back up and Ordis’ voice slowly fades back in. “OPERATOR PLEASE! OPERA— Oh! thank goodness, for a moment there I was sure I had lost you! I was so worr—” “What’s the plan Ordis” the Operator says bluntly “Oh, yes of course Operator, I found an alternate exit while you were— um... I’ve taken the liberty of marking it on your mini map” “Thanks Ordis”.

•Then just head to extraction before the timer hits zero and you have completed the first Guen blueprint mission.

•When you finally get back to your orbiter it will say “mission success: summary”, then display the quest completion message, only it will say “Quest Incomplete, The Kuva Queen”. It will seem as though you had lost, it will seem as though that were the last mission, but then Ordis will say, “Operator, I am detecting some unusual activity on *so and so planet*” That’s when you will begin the final mission of the “Kuva Queen” quest.

{Quest mission, 6} ( Blueprint, for real this time):
All that you have left to do is track down the Elder Queen in her new form and kick her out of Guen, only she’s super powerful now. She is beaten almost the exact same way a Kuva Lich is.

More info:

Spoiler

•Here are the few things that make this fight different from a Kuva Lich; The areas claimed by the Elder Queen will be highlighted orange instead of red, Her Kuva Thralls have an orange outline around them instrad of a blue one, and she will use Guen's abilities while in battle. Also, when you go into the Elder Queen's Kuva Lich information menu; weaknesses, resistances, and all other potentially useful information about her will be illegible. It will be full of question marks, scribbles, and all sorts of random symbols where the actual information should be. 

•Once you have weakened her enough, you’ll be prompted to use transference on her. Once you do, you will transfer into Guen, pushing out the Elder Queen. Unfortunately, the Elder Queen trying her best to resist causes severe damage to Guen during transference, leaving behind nothing but Guen’s main blueprint.

•While the Elder Queen had once again been defeated, this was not the end. Just as the Elder Queen was being forced out of Guen she said “You may have beaten me for now, but the war has only just begun” then she vanished like a ghost.

•Once you have kicked the Elder Queen out of Guen, all that's left to do is grab Guen's blueprint and head to extraction.

•When you get back to your orbiter you’ll be greeted with a proper quest completion message saying “Quest Complete, The Kuva Queen” and a congrats from Ordis. In addition, after completing the “Kuva Queen” quest, you will receive a message from Alad V. As an extra thanks he sends you a little something that he stole from the Queens, 15,000 .

•Then it will just be the Operator and Ordis talking amongst themselves. The Operator proceeds to ask Ordis, “So, what should we name her”, and Ordis responds, “You want to name it!? But why Operator!? Didn’t it try to kill you?” “No, it didn’t try to kill me, the Queens did, and we have to call it something, we can’t just keep calling it, “it” all the time.” “Operator, please tell me you’re not thinking of rebuilding that thing, what if it’s a trap!? What if they wanted this to happen!?” “It’s not Ordis, trust me.” “Well, if you must name it, how about; DEVIL!, DEMON SPAWN!, EVIL!, GARBAGE!, NOT TO BE TRUSTED!, Guen... TOILET WATER! MURDERER! GARBA—” “Whoa, back up a little.” “Yes of course Operator; TOILET WATER! MURD—” “No no, before that, Guen, that’s not bad. Yeah, Guen, I like it.” "YUCK! Guen is a STUPID name, whoever came up with that should go DIE! also...”

 

-Future story:

Spoiler

Once you finally throw the Elder Queen out of Guen, her soul and mind will travel back to her previous corpse. They will remain trapped there until she is provided with a new body. (This is a result of the violet Kuva [(See "Lore/ Backstory" for more info)])

...Meanwhile, Alad V is putting together his very own Warframe. And its name is Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist frame #2), another frame concept of mine. Here's the link:

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1223753-ferro-the-robotic-warframe-🤖-mutalist-frame-2/

 

Long after the discovery of Guen and the defeat of the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will begin to construct her second Kuva beast, one far more powerful than the last, similar at its core, yet different in every way, evolved.

The Elder Queen is not in this one. The Worm Queen wants to get the Tenno out of the way before bringing the Elder Queen back once again.

This Kuva Creation is not made of pure Kuva. It will have mechanical tentacles, metal claws, and other attachments which add to its evil sinister vibe. It will also have dark gray eyes. It's eyes make it appear much more dead than alive. And this new evil Kuva creation has no name. It will never have a name because this time you don't get to bring it home and name it. Once you have defeated it there will be no blueprints for you to salvage.

This new Kuva weapon is going to be much bigger and stronger than Guen, all of its abilities/ attacks will be completely different and it will be defeated in a vastly different way. It will be more like a boss than a Lich. This boss will spawn on a new node in the Kuva Fortress, but only while Guen Prime is unvaulted.

Upon defeating this boss there is a chance that it will drop a void relic which can be used to farm for Guen Prime. This is the only way of getting Guen Prime's relics, unless you trade for it. (This boss is only available while Guen Prime is unvaulted).

When you finally build Guen Prime she will only slightly resemble the monster you retrieved her relics from. Guen Prime will of course resemble Guen much more closely, but one thing that makes Guen Prime different from Guen is that she isn't made up of pure Kuva. Guen Prime has a number of metallic enhancements that protrude out of her body. Whether or not these enhancements will directly impact Guen Prime's gameplay is unknown.

After killing the Worm Queen's second Kuva creature, it will be clear that the Worm Queen is far more cunning and dangerous than she appears, and the only way to make this madness stop would be to kill the Worm Queen. But you never get the chance (You can’t because then that would mean the end of Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions).

 

Long after you have destroyed yet another one of the Worm Queen’s fancy suits, the Elder Queen will return once again. This time, the body that the Elder Queen resurfaces in will be a bit different from the last. Instead of a new Kuva Warframe with which to fight off the Tenno and take over the world, this time it’s more of a computer-Kuva hybrid.

In this new vessel the Elder Queen will look kind of like Cephalon Simaris, but she will be hooked up to a bunch of big messy wires and huge clunky monitors, all of which are covered in Kuva.

The Operator will be told to fight another evil Kuva creature, under the impression that it is the Elder Queen’s new body. But defeating it comes far too easily and the Operator gets suspicious. As the Operator continues to investigate his suspicions he eventually learns the truth. The Elder Queen is no longer of one mind, and that creature was no Warframe, it was one of the Worm Queen's latest inventions.

The Worm Queen has built for the Elder Queen a cyber-neural command center with which she can remotely control hundreds of her Grineer soldiers simultaneously. In other words she created an entire army of mindless Kuva infused Grineer which the Elder Queen can control from a distance. These Grineer are far more powerful than regular Grineer, but they’re a bit dumber too, so they miss a lot (The Elder Queen can only focus on so many things at once). They kind of look like Guen's deluxe skin, but in the shape of Grineer, and each one of them have red eyes, almost identical to the Elder Queen's.

You will try to blow up the computer she now resides in, with a little help from Rex (The new Corpus leader, formerly known as "Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist frame #2)"), but you quickly realize that she is able to simply transfer her consciousness to a different computer instantly.

She’s a hive mind now, and there appears to be no way of stopping her. But you will never stop trying, because once you get to the Elder Queen, you dismantle her entire army of Grineer puppets, and you leave the Worm Queen completely vulnerable. This would provide you with a chance to end it all for good. The death of the Worm Queen would finally mark the end of one of the Tenno’s biggest threats. But of course this could never happen, it would only get very close. The Worm Queen will always escape somehow, again and again, always renewing the never ending cycle. The endless struggle between the Queens, and the Tenno.

 

Long after the Elder Queen's failed assassination, the Elder Queen began to desire more than power alone, she wanted revenge, and there just so happened to be a way of obtaining both... Rex.

Control Rex = revenge & power.  If the Elder Queen were able to control Rex, not only would she be rid of her most recent enemy, she would also have complete control over the Corpus. And if she played her cards right, maybe she could use the combination of Grineer and Corpus forces to bring down the Tenno. Sure, controlling a warframe who has a mind of it's own would normally be too difficult, especially over long distances, but Rex is made from Robotics, and robots can be hacked into.

The Elder Queen shared her plan with the Worm Queen and tasked her with finding a way to invade Rex's mind. The Worm Queen gathered all of their most competent hackers/ technicians and got to work on upgrading the Elder Queen's computer with highly intense corpus hacking capabilities.

After just a few days the Elder Queen's new weapon was ready for use, and the Elder Queen wasted little time. The Elder Queen was able to successfully hack into Rex using her new electronic weapon, and her first act as Corpus puppet master was to declare war on the Tenno along side the Grineer.

Unfortunately for the Elder Queen, the Corpus were able to quickly figure out what was happening. Maybe it was allying with the Grineer, or waging war on the Tenno, or the fact that Rex's eyes had suddenly turned red, but whatever it was that tipped them off, the Corpus were not happy about it. They had just begun to warm up to their new leader, so they weren't going to just let the Queens come in and ruin everything.

The first thing they needed to do was restrain Rex so that they could get the Elder Queen out of his head, but they couldn't do that alone since the Elder Queen had taken control of all their robotics. They decided to call up the Tenno and ask them to beat up their possessed leader.

After successfully defeating Rex, the Operator uses transference in order to help Rex break free from the Elder Queen's grasp. Once free, and the Queen's diabolical plan foiled, Rex fortified his mind in order to prevent any future attempts to break into his mind. From now on, no one will be able control or hack into Rex, not even the Tenno.

 

-Trivia:

Spoiler

•Guen is short for Sanguen, which is an old Latin word for blood.

•Guen is a whole new breed of Warframe. Unlike the other Warframes, Guen was never alive, even before being turned into a Warframe. She was created when a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains were applied to Kuva. Just as Excalibur Umbra is the first Umbra frame, Guen is the first Mutalist frame.

•There has yet to be a Mutalist Warframe that was created from a living organism. It is possible, it just hasn't been done yet.

•Guen is unable to feel emotion or pain. This is why she is able to expel pieces of herself so frequently. Though she cannot feel pain, she can still be damaged, she simply isn't fazed by it. Also, since Guen is an inanimate object she cannot think for herself... at all. Luckily the Operator will always be there to do all of the thinking for her.

•The reason Guen’s deluxe skin is called “Lakshmi” is because Kuva, in Sanskrit, means lotus. And the name “Lakshmi” belongs to a Hindu goddess who is often associated with the lotus flower and is even sometimes referred to as the lotus goddess.

•Guen is the first and only Warframe to have a max rank of 40.

•Guen is the first and only Warframe capable of preforming valence fusion.

•Guen has the highest price out of any Warframe in the codex (400 ).

•Guen has one of the most expensive deluxe skins (200 ). Guen’s “Lakshmi” skin is tied for most expensive with Nyx’s “Pasithea” skin.

•Guen is the first Warframe that does not have definitive polarities.

•Guen is the first and only Warframe to have Overhealth.

-(🤖) Storyline explanation:

Spoiler

 Guen's story continues with Ferro, another frame concept of mine. Ferro is a frame that is created by Alad V shortly after Guen. The frame concept is called, “Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist Frame #2)”. Here is the link to that frame:

 

 

-Things you should know about Guen:

Spoiler

 -*Picture deleted* Ability drain explanation:

What you need to know:

Guen manipulates her own health in order to supplement her abilities.

Some of Guen's abilities will drain a percentage of her health, but once an ability has run its course, the health you spent on that ability will be refunded. To make up for this, Guen uses up less energy than normal on each of her abilities. All this really means is that you have basically all the energy you need anywhere you go, but if you spam your abilities you’re gonna end up killing yourself.

More info:

Spoiler

•Every time you spend health on an ability, a number will appear on the bottom right of your screen, above its corresponding symbol. This number represents the percent of your max health that you currently have invested in that ability. Meaning if I use “Cumulus Kuva” and only hit one enemy, there will be “3%” above the “Cumulus Kuva” symbol. As abilities are activated and refunded, this percentage will go up and down, but if an ability has been completely refunded it will just say “0%” above the corresponding symbol.

•If you’re ever in serious danger of dying and you still have some abilities active you can choose to manually deactivate them and claim the refund. This would cause Guen to call back all of the Kuva you spent on that ability. Simply hold the ability activation button on any of her abilities to deactivate it, which would refund all of the health you spent on that particular ability.

•To prevent people from spamming Guen's deactivation feature to become invincible, deactivation has a cool down of about 10 seconds for each ability.

•Mods that influence energy efficiency (Example: streamline) will still affect Guen’s energy consumption, but these mods will have no affect on her abilities’ health consumption.

Why I did this:
Considering the fact that Guen literally throws away pieces of herself in many of her abilities, I thought it would be a good idea to add health drain in exchange for energy efficiency.

({This health drain idea was created with the help of “chris1pat8twins”, and developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

-*Picture deleted* Status effect explanation:

What you need to know:

Guen gains status effects through valence fusion.

Guen can have any status effect, but only one at a time. Guen can only obtain a status effect through valence fusion. This means that, if you have a Kuva weapon, you can fuse that weapon with Guen, then Guen will receive that weapon's status effect. She is technically a Kuva weapon after all.

More info:

Spoiler

•Guen will not have status effects in any of her abilities unless valence fusion is preformed. Her abilities will still do damage, just not as much.

•The percentage of status effect on the corresponding Kuva weapon will directly influence how much damage Guen's status effect deals.

 

-|*Picture deleted*| Ability #1, “Cumulus Kuva”:

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 18 energy

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 3% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen shoots a small Kuva Cloud projectile out of her hands, affecting small groups of up to about 3-5 enemies without the use of range mods. ((Shooting an enemy with a Kuva Cloud while it’s standing in a Kuva Puddle will increase the duration and damage dealt upon that enemy.))

Shooting an enemy with a Kuva Cloud disorients/ stuns it for a short time while also inflicting a status effect upon it (status effect determined by valence fusion [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)]).

More info:

Spoiler

•If an enemy is hit by 2 different Kuva Clouds, both the damage and health drain will stack.

•Shooting one of Guen's Kuva Thralls with a Kuva Cloud will temporarily buff its damage, attack speed, and movement speed.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls will always prioritize enemies which are being affected by Guen's “Cumulus Kuva” ability. The more Kuva Clouds cast on a single enemy, the more likely a Kuva Thrall is to target it.

(Once this ability has either run it’s course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

 

-|*Picture deleted*| Ability #2, “Flood”:

Ability activation limit: Guen can only have 1 Kuva Puddle active at a time (3 at rank 30, 4 at rank 40)

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 36 energy

Health cost (Per ability activation): 6% (of Guen’s max health)

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 1% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen’s body begins to liquify slightly. Then suddenly a flood of Kuva spews from her body in every direction, violently knocking back any enemies within its radius while also inflicting a status effect upon them (status effect determined by valence fusion [(see "Things you should know about Guen" for more info)]).

After this flood dissipates it will temporarily leave behind a large Kuva Puddle for about 25 seconds. This Kuva Puddle will continue to inflict status damage upon each enemy that sets foot within its radius. ((If an enemy is standing within a Kuva Puddle, the effectiveness and duration of other abilities and attacks on that enemy will be enhanced.))

More info:

Spoiler

•Any time the number of enemies within a Kuva Puddle exceeds 3, then that Puddle will pull all of the enemies into its center. These enemies, as well as any others who decide to join them, will remain trapped in the center of the Kuva Puddle until it is no longer active (Unless they die before then).

•After 25 seconds have passed, the Kuva puddle will evaporate from the ground and reenter Guen. When this happens, any Kuva which originated from that Kuva Puddle will return to Guen as well. This means that all enemies still receiving the corresponding status effect will no longer feel its wrath.

(Once this ability has either run it’s course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

({This ability was developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

-|*Picture deleted*| Ability #3, “Health Siphon”:

Energy cost: 54 energy

Health replenished: 8% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen becomes invincible for 3 seconds. During this time she will extract Kuva Clouds from her nearby surroundings and absorb them as health, at the cost of energy. ((If Guen is standing in one of her Kuva Puddles when “Health Siphon” is activated, then she will gain more health from it than she normally would have.))

Every time “Health Siphon” is activated Guen will send out a healing pulse. Any allies within range of this pulse will heal by half of what Guen healed.

More info:

Spoiler

•If Guen already has near full health when “Health Siphon” is activated, then the access health will be added on as Overhealth instead. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's healing pulse. This means that Guen can grant allies with Overhealth by using this ability.

•The amount of health Guen gains from this ability scales up with ability strength.

•This ability has a cooldown of about 2 seconds. This is to prevent people from becoming invincible by pairing it with mods like Hunters Adrenaline.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Health Siphon" does nothing.

 

-| | Ability #4, “Kuva Thralls”:

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 72 energy

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 3% (of Guen’s max health)

Activating Guen's "Kuva Thralls" ability will  temporarily convert all surrounding enemies into Kuva Thralls, forcing them to attack each other. ((If Guen is standing in one of her Kuva Puddles when “Kuva Thralls” is activated, then the duration and damage of her Kuva Thralls will increase.))

More info:

Spoiler

•All of Guen's Kuva Thralls will automatically receive a damage and armor buff throughout the duration of the ability.

•Holding the activation button for "Kuva Thralls" does nothing.

 

-|*Picture deleted*| Passive:  

-{Passive, 1} Death Evasion:

If Guen ever runs out of health, so long as some of her abilities are still active, she won’t bleed out. Instead, her current body will fall, and the Kuva from her active abilities will rush there to form her a new body. When this happens, her health upon reconstruction will be equivalent to the health she had spent on her active abilities.

More info:

Spoiler

•The health Guen salvages from her abilities through “Death Evasion” will not scale up with ability strength.

•After “Death Evasion” has been activated, Guen will be given a moderately long grace period and temporary health regeneration.

•All of Guen’s abilities will be locked for the duration of her grace period.

•Once Guen's “Death Evasion” passive ability is used once, it cannot be used again until Guen has regenerated all of her health back.

({This passive was created with the help of “Velitria”, and developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”}) 

 

-{Passive, 2} Overhealth:

Overhealth cap: 2400

Guen can potentially achieve Overhealth any time one of her abilities are refunded.

Guen can also use her "Health Siphon" ability to grant both herself, as well as her allies, with Overhealth.

More info:

Spoiler

•Without the use of mods, Guen can achieve Overhealth by healing from external sources, then claiming the refund on her abilities. With nowhere else to go, the access health will simply be added onto her existing health in the form of Overhealth.

•Through the use of strength mods (Example: intensify), Guen can heal herself as well as achieve Overhealth. At 100% ability strength, ability refunds give her exactly as much as she invested. But at 130% ability strength, ability refunds give her 30% more health than she invested (Refunded health caps at 200%). Meaning, if she has low health, she can use her ability refund to save herself and heal back to a more comfortable level. And If she already has near max health, she can use the refund to really boost her health over the top in the form of Overhealth.

•Whenever Guen has Overhealth her health bar turns orange. Everything else about Overhealth is basically the same as overshields.

({This passive was created with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

-Augment Mods:

-[Augment Mod, 1] (Cumulus Kuva Augment) “I don’t know yet, let me know if you think of anything”: 

-[Augment Mod, 2] (Flood Augment) “Kuva Pool”: *Picture deleted*

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 36 energy

Health cost (Per ability activation): 6% (of Guen’s max health)

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 1% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen is now able to stack her Kuva Puddles on top of one another infinitely. Stacking a Kuva Puddle will not only add to the life span of that Kuva Puddle, but it will also increase its damage and range.

Spoiler

•The health stacked onto a Kuva Puddle won't be refunded until the Kuva Pool as a whole is no longer active. Although you can always manually deactivate it.

•Any time the number of enemies within a Kuva Puddle exceeds 3, then that Puddle will pull all of the enemies into its center. These enemies, as well as any others who decide to join them, will remain trapped in the center of the Kuva Puddle until it is no longer active (Unless they die before then).

•This Augment Mod can be used to corral enemies and damage them quickly. But even better, this Augment Mod can be used as a health pool, a place to throw all of your health so that when you claim the refund your health shoots way up into Overhealth.

-[Augment Mod, 3] (Health Siphon Augment) “Energy Siphon”: *Picture deleted*

Health cost: 8% (of Guen’s max health)

Energy replenished: 54 energy

Instead of absorbing Kuva Clouds as health (at the cost of energy), Guen will absorb them as energy (at the cost of health).

Every time “Energy Siphon” is activated Guen will send out an energizing pulse. Any allies within range of this pulse will gain 30 energy.

More info:

Spoiler

•If Guen already has near full energy when “Energy Siphon” is activated, then the access energy will simply go to waste. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's energizing pulse.

•The amount of energy Guen gains from this ability scales up with ability strength.

•The amount of health that allies gain from the energizing pulse also scales up with ability strength.

•This ability has a cooldown of about 2 seconds.

-Notes:

Spoiler

•Similar to Kuva weapons, this frame’s max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per forma added).

•If you create a Kuva Lich using Guen, then the corresponding Kuva weapon will have a little bit of every type of bonus damage.

•While the Operator is within Guen, Guen's eye color (and her Kuva Thralls' eye colors) will match that of the Operator. Whenever you exit Guen, the color of her eyes (and her Kuva Thralls' eyes) will turn dark grey, absent and hallow, drained of all their vibrance and life.

•Despite the fact that Guen’s neuroptics blueprint is more difficult to obtain than her chassis blueprint, her chassis blueprint requires more Kuva. The reason for this is that, though it was far more difficult for the Worm Queen and her scientists to design and construct Guen’s neuroptics, the chassis is larger and takes up more surface area. As a result, the chassis eats up more Kuva, and the neuroptics are harder to come by.

 

-Lore/ Backstory:

Spoiler

Kuva, unpredictable, dangerous, and mysterious. The Worm Queen just so happens to have an abundance of that very resource. The Elder Queen’s body may have died, but the Worm Queen knew that was not the end. (I know that for some people the Elder Queen was left alive, but either way the result remains the same.)

The Elder Queen has had many bodies, she has seen the world through many pairs of eyes, and this was no different. After cheating death so many times before, it is unlikely that death will ever find her, even if she accepted it with open arms. The Elder Queen has been condemned to eternal existence, she just doesn’t know it yet.

Lucky for the Elder Queen, her sister (the Worm Queen) knew something that most others did not. She knew that even though the Elder Queen was dead she could be brought back. They call it “continuity”, the process of using Kuva to transfer one consciousness into another.

“But she has done this so many times before, what would make this time different?” The Worm Queen wonders. “No, this time will be different!” The Worm Queen assures herself. And it will, because this time she will do something that has never been done before.

The Worm Queen began to lay out a plan, a plan that would not only bring back the Elder Queen, but effectively immortalize her for all of eternity. Using her vast Kuva reserve and Grineer servants, the Worm Queen began to design and construct her very own Warframe, a vessel untouchable by age and unafraid of death.

But she couldn't do it alone, she could only think of a select few that were up to the task. Unfortunately, there was no possible way that she could reach Ballis, who was one of the first to use the Helminth strain of infested on humans in order to create Warframes, he was a bit indisposed at the time. Luckily she had a capable and experienced Grineer doctor already at her disposal, so she tried to first make due with that, because the alternative was far more troublesome.

The Grineer doctor was named “Dr. Tengus”. Dr. Tengus has ample experience with infested experimentation, he is even responsible for having created Grineer Gouls.

Dr. Tengus, the Worm Queen, and a few other Grineer scientists worked very closely in attempting to find, not a solution, but the solution to the Elder Queen’s ailments. The Worm Queen took care of all necessary expenses. A private lab, lab assistants, and any other resources they may require. They worked day and night with little rest, well, not the Worm Queen, she simply came and went as she pleased. They worked and worked but got few results. Eventually the Worm Queen realized that they were making little progress, and so desperate measures needed to be taken.

Alad V…

Alad V once studied the infested in a search for some success in his swiftly declining career. While unsuccessful in that regard, he was able to develop a strain of infested called the Mutalist strain. This strain of infested has the ability to infect inorganic beings. This is exactly what they were missing.

With a combination of threats and bribery, the Worm Queen was able to convince Alad V to lend his expertise.

While Alad V did eventually help the Worm Queen in the search for a new body for the Elder Queen, his disgust for the Grineer made it nearly impossible for him to work alongside them. But he persevered because he knew that cooperating would provide him with all the information he needs to recreate the experiment for himself.

Eventually, with a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains, they were able to apply that mixture of disease to kuva and create Guen. A whole new breed of Warframe, one that was never alive to begin with.

You may be wondering how the Worm Queen would be able to create the Helminth strain of infested. Well the Grineer Queens were once Orokin. The Worm Queen has overheard bits and pieces of the Warframe building process from Ballis’ conversations with Silvana, which turned out to be all the information the worm queen needed to develop her own helminth strain, with the help of her Grineer scientists.

Although they were making progress, Alad V was still opposed to the Grineer Queens having such a powerful weapon. Which is why Alad V kept tabs on where each of the blueprints were hidden.

When Alad V finally got the chance he contacted the Tenno, explained what was happening, and revealed where all of Guen's blueprints were hidden as payment for his protection. Although Alad V didn’t like the Tenno very much, right now they were the lesser evil, and it was in his best interest to make sure that the Elder Queen stays dead. And he knew that as soon as the Worm Queen finally got what she wanted she would have him executed.

When the Worm Queen finally produced a viable replacement for the Elder Queen’s current body she wasted no time in presenting it to her sister, but then she remembered that her sister is dead. So the Worm Queen quickly got to work on transferring the Elder Queen's consciousness so that the Elder Queen could see what a great job she did in making her new body.

When the Elder Queen finally came to in her new skin she was disoriented and confused at first. The Elder Queen saw that the Worm Queen seemed really excited about something, but she didn't know what, and frankly she didn’t care to know.

It took a little while for the Elder Queen to finally understand what was happening, but once she did there was no stopping her. The Elder Queen knew that this discovery would change EVERYTHING, and now nothing could stand in her way, not even the Tenno.

"You've done well... worm", says the Elder Queen as she examines her work. A huge smile begins to grow on the Worm Queen's face. She is so proud of what she's done, and so happy that her sister likes it.

There was an adjustment period for the Elder Queen. Being dead for so long took its tole. She had to learn how to walk again, and it didn’t come easy. It made her furious not being able to do something so simple, each stumble made her livid with rage.

But once she finally got her bearings the Elder Queen got right to work on harnessing her newfound abilities.

Although the Worm Queen had already fulfilled her primary objective, which was to revive the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will continue to collect Kuva. She never stops collecting Kuva because she keeps thinking of new ways to use it to her advantage. The Worm Queen has no shortage of ideas, and she’s already begun to make some of those ideas a reality.

[(If you would like to know how the story continues after you finally defeat Guen/ the Elder Queen, you should check out the “Future story” section, which can be found near the end of this post.)]

 

-Acquisition:

There will actually be 3 ways of obtaining the blueprints for Guen. The first 2 are both through pure chance and time consumption, and the 3rd is through the completion of a quest called “The Kuva Queen”. 
 

-{Acquisition, 1} RNG, Kuva Liches:

Killing a Kuva Lich has a 100% chance of dropping one of Guen’s parts.

-{Acquisition, 3} Quest, The Kuva Queen:

After having successfully completed 3 Kuva Flood missions, you will get a new quest called “The Kuva Queen”.

More info:

Spoiler

•After accepting this quest you will get a message from Alad V, who is now reluctantly working for the Worm Queen to help build an extremely dangerous weapon. He whispers his message so he isn’t overheard. He says that we’re all in danger and that if anyone found out about this message he would surely be killed.

•He warns you about Guen and says that if you don’t act fast the consequences of this creation will be catastrophic, accept he doesn’t call her “Guen”. In the “Kuva Queen” quest, Guen doesn’t officially get a name until the quest is completed and you have collected all of Guen’s blueprints. Instead, any time someone refers to Guen, they say “it” or “the Warframe” or “the beast”.

•Anyway, he tells you that luckily the Warframe is yet to be built, so there’s still time. He tells you that the Worm Queen has hidden some of the Warframe's parts in various Grineer bases, but in exchange for their location he wants freedom, he is afraid that as soon as the Warframe is complete he will be executed. He quickly tells you what his current location is. Then you hear the voice of someone else and with a fearful voice he says “Nothing, just talking to myself”, then whispers, “I have to go” and the message cuts off.

(The first 4 quest missions may seem a bit too easy, but the enemies in each of those missions will be pretty high. So if the level itself isn’t challenging enough, the enemies will make up for it.)

 

Quest, mission #1 (Alad V):

This mission will begin as a rescue mission and end as an extermination mission.

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission, you will be tasked with rescuing Alad V and escorting him to extraction. Once you have rescued Alad V simply exterminate all remaining enemies and extract.

(The reason you need to exterminate all of the enemies after every mission is to make sure that the Worm Queen is never made aware of your espionage and conspiracy.)

 

Quest, mission #2 (*Picture deleted* chassis):

The chassis blueprint mission will begin as a sabotage mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin the mission, you will be tasked with stealing the chassis blueprint, only the Worm Queen has separated it into 5 fragments for increased security. There will be 5 different markers on the mini-map, each directing you to a different chassis blueprint fragment. Simply find and steal each one, and kill the remaining enemies.

•Once you have successfully completed the Guen chassis mission you will be rewarded with a Guen chassis blueprint in the mission success summary.

Quest, mission #3 (*Picture deleted* neuroptics):
The neuroptics blueprint mission will begin as a mobile defense mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission your objective will be to steal the Guen neuroptics blueprint, only, this blueprint has already been uploaded to several different sourses digitally, and such an elaborate blueprint takes time to extract.

•What you’ll have to do is deliver payloads and defend a number of locations while the lotus extracts all records of the neuroptics blueprint from Grineer servers. Once you have done that, all that will be left to do is eliminate the remaining enemies and head to extraction.

•Once you return to your orbiter you will be rewarded with a Guen neuroptics blueprint in the mission success summary.

Quest, mission #4 (*Picture deleted* systems):
The systems blueprint mission will begin as a stealth mission, and end as an extermination mission. But the stealth portion won’t be like any other, it will be more like the mastery rank 9 test.

More info:

Spoiler

•Each enemy will be provided with their own communication systems for increased security. This means that if anyone detects you they will alert all of the other enemies, as well as their Queen. Meaning not only is the Worm Queen now aware of your plans, but the other enemies have been prompted to hide and secure the blueprint. Making the mission a complete failure.

•So, in the start of this mission, before stealing the blueprint, your task will be to get to their communication controls, hack it, and disable it, all without being seen. Then simply steal the systems blueprint, exterminate the remaining enemies, and head to extraction.

•Once you return to the orbiter you will receive a Guen systems blueprint in the mission success summary.

Quest, mission #5 (*Picture deleted* blueprint):
The Guen blueprint mission is just an assassination mission. And, according to Alad V, it is the last mission you’ll need to do in order to neutralize the threat that is Guen.

More info:

Spoiler

•Alad V will tell you that you have to kill the Worm Queen to steal the final traces of Guen, because she keeps the blueprint on her at all times.

•When you finally get to the Worm Queen she seems caught off guard. She’ll say “Tenno! What are you doing here! How ever did you find me!” Then your Operator will give a powerful speech about justice and whatnot, then once the speech is done, your Operator will fire a shot at the Worm Queen in an attempt to begin the fight, but the blast goes right through her.

•The void blast leaves behind a small flicker in the place where it should have pierced the Worm Queen. “It’s a hologram!” Says the Operator. A brief close up of the small device projecting it from above is shown, confirming his theory.

•A large evil smile begins to form on her face. “Do you really think I’m that stupid Tenno?!” She says, "All this time you’ve spent trying to sabotage my plans, destroying my Kuva Siphons!! now it’s your turn. *insert evil laugh*"

•"That's right! I knew all along that Alad V would betray me. It was all part of my diabolical plan! Muahahaha! Oh, I almost forgot! You may not be able to recognize her at first, but I brought an old friend here that just can’t wait to see you!, Isn’t that right sis?” That was when Guen, or rather, the Elder Queen, stepped into view. Her exterior appears to be made out of hardened Kuva. “Hello Tenno” says the Elder Queen “Miss me?” The Operator stares for a moment in disbelief. She must be an imposter he thinks, but then he looks into her eyes, her eyes are identical to that of the Elder Queen (A brief flashback of the Elder Queen’s face just before her previous death plays, as a way to fill the player in on what the Operator is thinking) “It’s her...”

•The Operator, filled with shock, fear, and rage knows not what to do. So he simply drops to the floor with defeat. “All of that work, for nothing” he mumbles to himself. He had done everything within his power to bury the Elder Queen for good, yet it wasn’t enough.

•“Well anyway, enough drama.” Says the Worm Queen “The reason I lured you here, is to watch you DIE!” The Worm Queen violently slams on a button on her end of the hologram. Suddenly all of the doors around you slam shut. The words “SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED!” blast the Operator’s eardrums from every direction, but he hardly even notices. “Good luck Tenno!” Says the Elder Queen as she chuckles.

•The room around you begins to shake violently, fires start to spread, everything starts to fall apart, and a count down timer gets displayed on the bottom of your screen, but the Operator remains on the floor with his head down.

•“Operator! Operator! Please get up! Can’t you see you’re in danger!” Pleads Ordis, but the Operator hardly moves a muscle. As Ordis pleads and pleads the Operator begins to slowly raise his head, and Ordis’ voice slowly fades away until there is nothing left but silence. The Operator looks directly at the Queens with extreme intensity and says, “I will find you”. The Elder Queen Remains unfased, but the Worm Queen shows a hint of fear. Then the Operator quickly shoots the device projecting the hologram, cutting off its signal.

•He then slowly picks himself back up and Ordis’ voice slowly fades back in. “OPERATOR PLEASE! OPERA— Oh! thank goodness, for a moment there I was sure I had lost you! I was so worr—” “What’s the plan Ordis” the Operator says bluntly “Oh, yes of course Operator, I found an alternate exit while you were— um... I’ve taken the liberty of marking it on your mini map” “Thanks Ordis”.

•Then just head to extraction before the timer hits zero and you have completed the first Guen blueprint mission.

•When you finally get back to your orbiter it will say “mission success: summary”, then display the quest completion message, only it will say “Quest Incomplete, The Kuva Queen”. It will seem as though you had lost, it will seem as though that were the last mission, but then Ordis will say, “Operator, I am detecting some unusual Kuva activity on *so and so planet*” That’s when you will begin the final mission of the “Kuva Queen” quest.

Quest, mission #6 (*Picture deleted* blueprint, for real this time):
All that you have left to do is track down the Elder Queen in her new form and kick her out of Guen, only she’s super powerful now. She is beaten almost the exact same way a Kuva Lich is.

More info:

Spoiler

•Here the few things that make this fight different from a Kuva Lich; The areas claimed by the Elder Queen will be highlighted orange instead of red, Her Kuva Thralls have an orange outline around them instrad of a blue one, She uses Guen's abilities while in battle, when you go into the Elder Queen's information menu, all of her weaknesses, resistances, and all other potentially useful information about her will be illegible. It will be full of question marks, scribbles, and all sorts of random symbols where the actual information should be. 

•Once you have weakened her enough, you’ll be prompted to use transference on her. Once you do, you will transfer into Guen, pushing out the Elder Queen. Unfortunately, the Elder Queen trying her best to resist causes severe damage to Guen during transference, leaving behind nothing but Guen’s blueprint.

•While the Elder Queen had once again been beaten, this was not the end, because as she was being forced out of Guen she said “You may have beaten me for now, but the war has only just begun” then she vanished like a ghost. Once you have kicked the Elder Queen out of Guen, all that's left to do is grab Guen's blueprint and head to extraction.

•When you get back to your orbiter you’ll be greeted with a proper quest completion message saying “Quest Complete, The Kuva Queen” and a congrats from Ordis. In addition, after completing the “Kuva Queen” quest, you will receive a message from Alad V. As an extra thanks he sends you a little something that he stole from the Queens, 15,000 Kuva *Picture deleted*.

•Then it will just be the Operator and Ordis talking amongst themselves. The Operator proceeds to ask Ordis, “So, what should we call her”, and Ordis responds, “You want to name it!? But why Operator!? Didn’t it try to kill you?” “No, it didn’t try to kill me, the Queens did, and we have to call it something, we can’t just keep calling it, “it” all the time.” “Operator, please tell me you’re not thinking of rebuilding that thing, what if it’s a trap!? What if they wanted this to happen!?” “It’s not Ordis, trust me. Now, come on, what’s a good name?” “Well, if you must name it, how about; DEVIL!, DEMON SPAWN!, EVIL!, GARBAGE!, NOT TO BE TRUSTED!, Guen... TOILET WATER! MURDERER! GARBA—” “Whoa, back up a little.” “Yes of course Operator; TOILET WATER! MURD—” “No no, before that, Guen, that’s not bad. Yeah, Guen, I like it.” “YUUCK-K-K-EE—E-ER-rrrrrr! Guen is a STUPID! name, whoever came up with that should go DIE! MURDE—E—E—ERrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, also...”

And that's the end of the “Kuva Queen” quest.

Once you finally throw the Elder Queen out of Guen, her soul and mind will travel back to her previous corpse. They will remain trapped there until she is provided with a new body.

...Meanwhile, Alad V is just putting together his very own Warframe. And its name... Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist frame #2).

Long after the discovery of Guen and the defeat of the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will begin to construct her second kuva beast, one far more powerful than the last, similar at its core, yet different in every way, evolved.

The Elder Queen is not in this one. The Worm Queen wants to get the Tenno out of the way before bringing the Elder Queen back once again.

This Kuva Creation is not made of pure Kuva, it will have mechanical tentacles, metal claws, and other attachments which add to its evil sinister vibe.

This new Kuva Queen is going to be much bigger and stronger than Guen, this one will be defeated in a vastly different way. It will be more like a boss than a Lich. This boss will spawn on a new node in the Kuva Fortress, but only while Guen Prime is unvaulted. Also, all of her abilities/ attacks will be completely different.

This new and evil Kuva Queen creation has no name. It will never have a name because this time, you don't get to bring home your brand new Kuva Warframe and name it. Once you have defeated it there will be no blueprints for you to salvage.

Upon defeating this boss there is a chance that it will drop a void relic which can be used to farm for Guen Prime. This is the only way of getting Guen Prime's relics, unless you trade for it. (This boss is only available when Guen Prime is unvaulted)

After killing the Worm Quenn's second Kuva creature, it will be clear that the Worm Queen is far more cunning and dangerous than she appears, and the only way to make this madness stop would be to kill the Worm Queen. But you never get the chance (You can’t because then that would mean the end of Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions).

Long after you have destroyed yet another one of the Elder Queen’s fancy suits, the Elder Queen will return once again. This time, the body that the Elder Queen resurfaces in will be a bit different from the last. Instead of a new Kuva Warframe with which to fight off the Tenno and take over the world, this time it’s more of a computer-Kuva hybrid.

You will be told to fight another evil, Warframe looking creature, under the impression that it is the Elder Queen’s new body. But defeating it comes far too easily and the Operator gets suspicious. As the Operator continues to investigate his suspicions he eventually learns the truth. The Elder Queen is no longer of one mind.

She will look kind of like Cephalon Simaris, but she will be hooked up to a bunch of big messy wires and huge clunky monitors. Also, everything she is connected to will be covered in both liquid and hardened Kuva. You will try to blow up the computer she now resides in, with a little help from Rex (The new Corpus leader, formerly known as "Ferro, The Robotic Warframe 🤖 (Mutalist frame #2)"), but quickly realize that she is able to simply transfer her consciousness to a different computer instantly.

The Worm Queen has built the Elder Queen a cyber-neural command center with which she can remotely control all of her subjects/ subordinates with ease. Not only that, she created an entire army of mindless Kuva infused Grineer which the Elder Queen can now control from a distance. These Grineer are far more powerful than regular Grineer, but they’re a bit dumber, so they miss a lot (The Elder Queen can only focus on so many things at once).

She’s a hive mind now, and there appears to be no way of stopping her. But you will never stop trying, because once you get to the Elder Queen, you dismantle her entire army of Grineer puppets, and you leave the Worm Queen completely vulnerable. This would provide you with a chance to end it all for good. The death of the Worm Queen would finally mark the end of one of the Tenno’s biggest threats. But of course this could never happen, it would only get very close. The Worm Queen will always escape somehow, again and again, always renewing the never ending cycle. The endless struggle between the Queens and the Tenno.

 

-Trivia:

Spoiler

•Guen is short for Sanguen, which is an old Latin word for blood.

•Guen is a whole new breed of Warframe. Unlike the other Warframes, Guen was never alive, even before being turned into a Warframe. She was created when a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains were applied to Kuva. Just as Excalibur Umbra is the first Umbra frame, Guen is the first Mutalist frame.

•Guen is unable to feel emotion or pain. This is why she is able to expel pieces of herself so frequently. Though she cannot feel pain, she can still be damaged, she simply isn't fazed by it. Also, since she's an inanimate object she cannot think for herself, which is why she needs the Operator to think for her.

•The reason Guen’s deluxe skin is called “Lakshmi” is because Kuva, in Sanskrit, means lotus. And the name “Lakshmi” belongs to a Hindu goddess who is often associated with the lotus flower and is even sometimes referred to as the lotus goddess.

•Guen is the first and only Warframe to have a max rank of 40.

•Guen is the first and only Warframe capable of preforming valence fusion.

•Guen has the highest price out of any Warframe in the codex (*Picture deleted* 400 plat).

•Guen has one of the most expensive deluxe skins (*Picture deleted* 200 plat). Guen’s “Lakshmi” skin is tied for most expensive with the Nyx’s “Pasithea” skin.

•Guen is the first Warframe that does not have definitive polarities.

•Guen is the first and only Warframe to have Overhealth.

•Guen is the first and only Warframe who’s blueprints require Kuva exclusively.

-*Picture deleted*Ability drain explanation:

What you need to know:
Some of Guen's abilities will drain a percentage of her health, but once an ability has run its course, the health you spent on that ability will be refunded. To make up for this Guen uses up less energy than normal on each of her abilities. All this really means is that you have basically all the energy you need anywhere you go, but if you spam your abilities you’re gonna end up killing yourself.

More info:

Spoiler

•Every time you spend health on an ability, a number will appear on the bottom right of your screen, above its corresponding symbol. This number represents the percent of your max health that you currently have invested in that ability. Meaning if I use “Killer Kuva Cloud” and only hit one enemy, there will be “3%” above the “Killer Kuva Cloud” symbol. As abilities are activated and refunded, this percentage will go up and down, but if an ability has been completely refunded it will just say “0%” above the corresponding symbol.

•If you’re ever in serious danger of dying and you still have some abilities active you can choose to manually deactivate them and claim the refund. This would cause Guen to call back all of the Kuva you spent on that ability. Simply hold the ability activation button on any of her abilities to deactivate it, which would refund all of the health you spent on that particular ability.

•To prevent people from spamming Guen's deactivation feature to become invincible, deactivation has a cool down of about 10 seconds for each ability.

•Mods that influence energy efficiency (Example: streamline) will still affect Guen’s energy consumption, but these mods will have no affect on her abilities’ health consumption.

Why I did this:
Considering the fact that Guen literally throws away pieces of herself in each of her abilities, I thought it would be a good idea to add health drain in exchange for energy efficiency.

({This health drain idea was created with the help of “chris1pat8twins”, and developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

-|*Picture deleted*| Ability #1, “Killer Kuva Cloud”:

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 18 energy

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 3% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen shoots a small Kuva Cloud projectile out of her hands, affecting small groups of up to about 3-5 enemies without the use of range mods. ((Shooting an enemy with a Kuva Cloud while it’s standing in a Kuva Puddle will increase the duration and damage dealt upon that enemy.))

Shooting an enemy with a Kuva Cloud disorients it for a short time while also inflicting a random status effect upon it.

More info:

Spoiler

•All enemies hit by the same Kuva Cloud will receive the same status effect.

•If an enemy is hit by 2 different Kuva Clouds, the status effects will stack and the health drain will double for that enemy.

•Shooting one of Guen's Kuva Thralls with a Kuva Cloud will temporarily buff its damage and attack speed.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls will always prioritize enemies which are being affected by Guen's “Killer Kuva Cloud” ability. The more Kuva Clouds cast on a single enemy, the more likely a Kuva Thrall is to target it.

(Once this ability has either run it’s course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

 

 -|*Picture deleted*| Ability #2, “Kuva Flood Cocktail”:

Ability activation limit: Guen can only have 1 Kuva Puddles active at a time (3 at rank 30, 4 at rank 40)

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 36 energy

Health cost (Per ability activation): 6% (of Guen’s max health)

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 1% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen’s body begins to liquify slightly. Then suddenly a flood of Kuva spews from her body in every direction, violently knocking back any enemies within its radius while also inflicting a random status effect upon them.

After this flood dissipates it will temporarily leave behind a large Kuva Puddle for about 25 seconds. The Kuva Puddle will continue to inflict the same status effect as the flood. This Puddle will affect each enemy that stets foot within its radius. ((If an enemy is standing within a Kuva Puddle, the effectiveness and duration of other abilities and attacks on that enemy will be enhanced.))

More info:

Spoiler

•Any time the number of enemies within a Kuva Puddle exceeds 5, then that Puddle will pull all of the enemies into its center. These enemies, as well as any others who decide to join them, will remain trapped in the center of the Kuva Puddle until it is no longer active (Unless they die before then).

•After 25 seconds have passed, the Kuva puddle will evaporate from the ground and reenter Guen. When this happens, any Kuva which originated from that Kuva Puddle will return to Guen as well. This means that all enemies still receiving the corresponding status effect will no longer feel its wrath.

(Once this ability has either run it’s course or been deactivated, the health you spent on casting this ability will be refunded)

({This ability was developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

-|*Picture deleted*| Ability #3, “Health Siphon”:

Energy cost: 54 energy

Health replenished: 8% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen becomes invincible for 3 seconds. During this time she will extract Kuva Clouds from her nearby surroundings and absorb them as health, at the cost of energy. ((If Guen is standing in one of her Kuva Puddles when “Health Siphon” is activated, then she will gain more health from it than she normally would have.))

Every time “Health Siphon” is activated Guen will send out a healing pulse. Any allies within range of this pulse will heal by half of what Guen healed.

More info:

Spoiler

•If Guen already has near full health when “Health Siphon” is activated, then the access health will be added on as Overhealth instead. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's healing pulse. This means that Guen can grant allies with Overhealth by using this ability.

•The amount of health Guen gains from this ability scales up with ability strength.

•This ability has a cooldown of about 2 seconds. This is to prevent people from becoming invincible by pairing it with mods like Hunters Adrenaline.

•Holding the ability activation button for "Health Siphon" does nothing.

 

-|*Picture deleted*| Ability #4, “Self Destruction”:

Energy cost: 0 energy

Activating Guen's "Self Destruction" ability will cause Guen to refund all health spent on active abilities. She will then send out all of the refunded health as damage on nearby enemies. ((If Guen is standing in one of her Kuva Puddles when “Self Destruction” is activated, then she will deal more damage than she normally would have.))

More info:

Spoiler

•The damage dealt by this ability scales up with ability strength

•Holding the activation button for "Self Destruction" will simply deactivate all active abilities.

 

-|*Picture deleted*| Passive:  

-{Passive, 1} Death Evasion:

If Guen ever runs out of health, so long as some of her abilities are still active, she won’t bleed out. Instead, her current body will fall, and the Kuva from her active abilities will rush there to form her a new body. When this happens, her health upon reconstruction will be equivalent to the health she had spent on her active abilities.

More info:

Spoiler

•The health Guen salvages from her abilities through “Death Evasion” will not scale up with ability strength.

•After “Death Evasion” has been activated, Guen will be given a moderately long grace period and temporary health regeneration.

•All of Guen’s abilities will be locked for the duration of her grace period.

•Once Guen's “Death Evasion” passive ability is used once, it cannot be used again until Guen has regenerated all of her health back.

({This passive was created with the help of “Velitria”, and developed with the help of “Steel_Rook”}) 

 

-{Passive, 2} Guen's Kuva Thralls:

Kuva Thrall activation limit: Guen can only have 2 Kuva Thralls active at a time (6 at rank 30, 8 at rank 40)

Health cost (Per Kuva Thrall): 0% (of Guen’s max health)

Every 25 seconds a nearby enemy will be converted into one of Guen's Kuva Thralls.

More info:

Spoiler

•When an enemy is converted into a Kuva Thrall it will receive a minor armor buff.

•Guen can choose to kill her Kuva Thralls using her parazon, doing this will grant Guen with however much health that Kuva Thrall had left at the time.

•Guen's Kuva Thralls have an orange outline around them, unlike a Liche's Kuva Thralls which have a blue outline around them.

•Whenever the Operator exits Guen, all of Guen's Kuva Thralls will remain frozen and invincible until the Operator reenters Guen.

•If Guen's "Death Evasion" passive is activated, her Kuva Thralls won't save her. They don't count as active abilities, and therefore cannot be refunded. If Guen is downed, and the only thing active is a Kuva Thrall, then she will die, and so will her Kuva Thralls.

-{Passive, 3} Overhealth:

Overhealth cap: 2400

Guen can potentially achieve Overhealth any time one of her abilities are refunded.

Guen can also use her "Health Siphon" ability to grant both herself, as well as her allies, with Overhealth.

More info:

Spoiler

•Without the use of mods, Guen can achieve Overhealth by healing from external sources, then claiming the refund on her abilities. With nowhere else to go, the access health will simply be added onto her existing health in the form of Overhealth.

•Through the use of strength mods (Example: intensify), Guen can heal herself as well as achieve Overhealth. At 100% ability strength, ability refunds give her exactly as much as she invested. But at 130% ability strength, ability refunds give her 30% more health than she invested.
Meaning, if she has low health, she can use her ability refund to save herself and heal back to a more comfortable level. And If she already has near max health, she can use the refund to really boost her health over the top in the form of Overhealth.

•Whenever Guen has Overhealth her health bar turns orange. Everything else about Overhealth is basically the same as overshields.

({This passive was created with the help of “Steel_Rook”})

 

-Augment Mods:

-[Augment Mod, 1] (Killer Kuva Cloud Augment) “I don’t know yet, let me know if you think of anything”: 

 

-[Augment Mod, 2] (Kuva Flood Cocktail Augment) “Kuva Pool”: *Picture deleted*

Energy cost (Per ability activation): 36 energy

Health cost (Per ability activation): 6% (of Guen’s max health)

Health cost (Per enemy affected): 1% (of Guen’s max health)

Guen is now able to stack her Kuva Puddles on top of one another infinitely. Stacking a Kuva Puddle will not only add to the life span of that Kuva Puddle, but it will also increase its damage and range.

Spoiler

•The health stacked onto a Kuva Puddle won't be refunded until the Kuva Pool as a whole is no longer active. Although you can always manually deactivate it.

•Any time the number of enemies within a Kuva Puddle exceeds 5, then that Puddle will pull all of the enemies into its center. These enemies, as well as any others who decide to join them, will remain trapped in the center of the Kuva Puddle until it is no longer active (Unless they die before then).

•This Augment Mod can be used to corral enemies and damage them quickly. But even better, this Augment Mod can be used as a health pool, a place to throw all of your health so that when you claim the refund your health shoots way up into Overhealth.

-[Augment Mod, 3] (Health Siphon Augment) “Energy Siphon”: *Picture deleted*

Health cost: 8% (of Guen’s max health)

Energy replenished: 54 energy

Instead of absorbing Kuva Clouds as health (at the cost of energy), Guen will absorb them as energy (at the cost of health).

Every time “Energy Siphon” is activated Guen will send out an energizing pulse. Any allies within range of this pulse will gain 30 energy.

More info:

Spoiler

•If Guen already has near full energy when “Energy Siphon” is activated, then the access energy will simply go to waste. The same thing goes for any allies affected by Guen's energizing pulse.

•The amount of energy Guen gains from this ability scales up with ability strength.

•The amount of health that allies gain from the energizing pulse also scales up with ability strength.

•This ability has a cooldown of about 2 seconds.

-Notes:

Spoiler

•Similar to Kuva weapons, this frame’s max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per forma added).

•If you create a Kuva Lich using Guen, then the corresponding Kuva weapon will have a little bit of every type of bonus damage.

•While the Operator is within Guen, Guen's eye color (and her Kuva Thralls' eye colors) will match that of the Operator. Whenever you exit Guen, the color of her eyes (and her Kuva Thralls' eyes) will turn dark grey, absent and hallow, drained of all their vibrance and life.

•Despite the fact that Guen’s neuroptics blueprint is more difficult to obtain than her chassis blueprint, her chassis blueprint requires more Kuva. The reason for this is that, though it was far more difficult for the Worm Queen to design and construct Guen’s neuroptics, the chassis is larger and takes up more surface area. As a result, the chassis eats up more Kuva, and the neuroptics are harder to come by.

 

-Lore/ Backstory:

Spoiler

Kuva, unpredictable, dangerous, and mysterious. The Worm Queen just so happens to have an abundance of that very resource. The Elder Queen’s body may have died, but the Worm Queen knew that was not the end. (I know that for some people the Elder Queen was left alive, but either way the result remains the same.)

The Elder Queen has had many bodies, she has seen the world through many pairs of eyes, and this was no different. After cheating death so many times before, it is unlikely that death will ever find her, even if she accepted it with open arms. The Elder Queen has been condemned to eternal existence, she just doesn’t know it yet.

Lucky for the Elder Queen, her sister (the Worm Queen) knew something that most others did not. She knew that even though the Elder Queen was dead she could be brought back. They call it “continuity”, the process of using Kuva to transfer one consciousness into another.

“But she has done this so many times before, what would make this time different?” The Worm Queen wonders. “No, this time will be different!” The Worm Queen assures herself. And it will, because this time she will do something that has never been done before.

The Worm Queen began to lay out a plan, a plan that would not only bring back the Elder Queen, but effectively immortalize her for all of eternity. Using her vast Kuva reserve and Grineer servants, the Worm Queen began to design and construct her very own Warframe, a vessel untouchable by age and unafraid of death.

But she couldn't do it alone, she could only think of a select few that were up to the task. Unfortunately, there was no possible way that she could reach Ballis, who was one of the first to use the Helminth strain of infested on humans in order to create Warframes, he was a bit indisposed at the time. Luckily she had a capable and experienced Grineer doctor already at her disposal, so she tried to first make due with that, because the alternative was far more troublesome.

The Grineer doctor was named “Dr. Tengus”. Dr. Tengus has ample experience with infested experimentation, he is even responsible for having created Grineer Gouls.

Dr. Tengus, the Worm Queen, and a few other Grineer scientists worked very closely in attempting to find, not a solution, but the solution to the Elder Queen’s ailments. The Worm Queen took care of all necessary expenses. A private lab, lab assistants, and any other resources they may require. They worked day and night with little rest, well, not the Worm Queen, she simply came and went as she pleased. They worked and worked but got few results. Eventually the Worm Queen realized that they were making little progress, and so desperate measures needed to be taken.

Alad V…

Alad V once studied the infested in a search for some success in his swiftly declining career. While unsuccessful in that regard, he was able to develop a strain of infested called the Mutalist strain. This strain of infested has the ability to infect inorganic beings. This is exactly what they were missing.

With a combination of threats and bribery, the Worm Queen was able to convince Alad V to lend his expertise.

While Alad V did eventually help the Worm Queen in the search for a new body for the Elder Queen, his disgust for the Grineer made it impossible for him to work alongside them. He would work separately, then provide the Worm Queen with the results. Eventually, with a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains they were able to apply that mixture of disease to kuva and create Guen. A whole new breed of Warframe, one that was never alive to begin with.

You may be wondering how the Worm Queen will be able to create the Helminth strain of infested. Well the Grineer Queens were once Orokin. The Worm Queen has overheard bits and pieces of the Warframe building process from Ballis’ conversations with Silvana, which turned out to be all the information the worm queen needed to develop her own helminth strain, with the help of her Grineer scientists.

Although they were making progress, Alad V was still opposed to the Grineer Queens having such a powerful weapon, so for each blueprint he helped develop, he made sure to keep a copy of it hidden away, somewhere that the queens would never find it, but unfortunately he had no part in constructing Guen’s main blueprint, that was created by the worm Queen and her scientists before Alad V got involved.

When Alad V finally got the chance he contacted the Tenno, explained what was happening, and revealed where the first blueprint was hidden as payment for his protection. Although Alad V hated the tenno as well, right now they were the lesser evil, and it was in his best interest to make sure that the Elder Queen stays dead. And he knew that as soon as the Worm Queen finally got what she wanted she would have him executed.

When the Worm Queen finally produced a viable replacement for the Elder Queen’s current body she wasted no time in presenting it to her sister, but then she remembered that her sister is dead. So the Worm Queen quickly got to work on transferring the Elder Queen's consciousness so that the Elder Queen could see what a great job she did in making her new body.

When the Elder Queen finally came to in her new skin she was disoriented and confused at first. The Elder Queen saw that the Worm Queen seemed really excited about something, but she didn't know what, and frankly she didn’t care to know.

It took a little while for the Elder Queen to finally understand what was happening, but once she did there was no stopping her. The Elder Queen knew that this discovery would change EVERYTHING, and now nothing could stand in her way, not even the Tenno.

"You've done well... worm", says the Elder Queen as she examines her work. A huge smile begins to grow on the Worm Queen's face. She is so proud of what she's done, and so happy that her sister likes it.

There was an adjustment period for the Elder Queen. Being dead for so long took its tole. She had to learn how to walk again, and it didn’t come easy. It made her furious not being able to do something so simple, each stumble made her livid with rage.

But once she finally got her bearings the Elder Queen got right to work on harnessing her newfound abilities.

Although the Worm Queen had already fulfilled her primary objective, which was to revive the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will continue to collect Kuva. She never stops collecting Kuva because she keeps thinking of new ways to use it to her advantage. The Worm Queen has no shortage of ideas, and she’s already begun to make some of those ideas a reality.

[(If you would like to know how the story continues after you finally defeat Guen/ the Elder Queen, you should check out the “Future story” section, which can be found near the end of this post.)]

 

-Acquisition:

There will actually be 3 ways of obtaining the blueprints for Guen. The first 2 are both through pure chance and time consumption, and the 3rd is through the completion of a quest called “The Kuva Queen”.

-{Acquisition, 3} Quest, The Kuva Queen:

After having successfully completed 3 Kuva Flood missions, you will get a new quest called “The Kuva Queen”.

More info:

Spoiler

•After accepting this quest you will get a message from Alad V, who is now reluctantly working for the Worm Queen to help build an extremely dangerous weapon. He whispers his message so he isn’t overheard. He says that we’re all in danger and that if anyone found out about this message he would surely be killed. He warns you about Guen and says that if you don’t act fast the consequences of this creation will be catastrophic, accept he doesn’t call her “Guen”. In the “Kuva Queen” quest. Guen doesn’t officially get a name until the quest is completed and you have collected all of Guen’s blueprints. Instead, any time someone refers to Guen, they say “it” or “the Warframe” or “the beast”. Anyway, he tells you that luckily the Warframe is yet to be built, so there’s still time. He tells you that he has hidden copies of some of the Warframe's parts in various Grineer bases, but in exchange for their location he wants freedom, he is afraid that as soon as the Warframe is complete he will be executed. He quickly tells you what his current location is. Then you hear the voice of someone else and with a fearful voice he says “Nothing, just talking to myself”, then whispers, “I have to go” and the message cuts off.

(The first 4 quest missions may seem a bit too easy, but the enemies in each of those missions will be extremely high. So if the level itself isn’t challenging enough, the enemies will make up for it.)

 

Quest, mission #1 (Alad V):

This mission will be a rescue mission. Not much else to it, just rescue Alad V.

 

Quest, mission #2 (*Picture deleted* chassis):

The chassis blueprint mission will begin as a sabotage mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin the mission, you will be tasked with stealing the chassis blueprint, only Alad V separated into 5 fragments in hopes that the Worm Queen wouldn't see it and get suspicious. There will be 5 different markers on the mini-map, each directing you to a different chassis blueprint fragment. Simply find and steal each one, and kill the remaining enemies.

•Once you have successfully completed the Guen chassis mission you will be rewarded with a Guen chassis blueprint in the mission success summary.

(The reason you need to exterminate all of the enemies after every mission is to make sure that the Worm Queen is never made aware of your espionage.)

Quest, mission #3 (*Picture deleted* neuroptics):
The neuroptics blueprint mission will begin as a mobile defense mission and end as an extermination mission.

More info:

Spoiler

•When you begin this mission your objective will be to steal the Guen neuroptics blueprint, only, Alad V uploaded it to several different sources digitally, and such an elaborate blueprint takes time to extract.

•What you’ll have to do is deliver payloads and defend a number of locations while the lotus extracts all records of the neuroptics blueprint from Grineer servers. Once you have done that, all that will be left to do is eliminate the remaining enemies and head to extraction.

•Once you return to your orbiter you will be rewarded with a Guen neuroptics blueprint in the mission success summary.

Quest, mission #4 (*Picture deleted* systems):
The systems blueprint mission will begin as a stealth mission, and end as an extermination mission. But the stealth portion won’t be like any other, it will be more like the mastery rank 9 test.

More info:

Spoiler

•Each enemy will be provided with their own communication systems. This means that if anyone sees you while you are taking the blueprint back to the orbiter they will alert all of the other enemies, as well as their Queen. Meaning the Worm Queen is now aware of your plans.

•So, in the start of this mission, before stealing the blueprint, your task will be to get to their communication controls, hack it, and disable it, all without being seen. Then simply steal the systems blueprint, exterminate the remaining enemies, and head to extraction.

•Once you return to the orbiter you will receive a Guen systems blueprint in the mission success summary.

Quest, mission #5 (*Picture deleted* blueprint):
The Guen blueprint mission is just an assassination mission. And, according to Alad V, it is the last mission you’ll need to do in order to neutralize the threat that is Guen.

More info:

Spoiler

•Alad V will tell you that you have to kill the Worm Queen to steal the final traces of Guen, because she keeps the blueprint on her at all times.

•When you finally get to the Worm Queen she seems caught off guard. She’ll say “Tenno! What are you doing here! How ever did you find me!” Then your Operator will give a powerful speech about justice and whatnot, then once the speech is done, your Operator will fire a shot at the Worm Queen in an attempt to begin the fight, but the shot goes right through her.

•The bullet leaves behind a small flicker in the place where it should have pierced the Worm Queen. “It’s a hologram!” Says the Operator. A brief close up of the small device projecting it from above is shown, confirming his theory.

•A large evil smile begins to form on her face. “Do you really think I’m that stupid Tenno?!” She says, "All this time you’ve spent trying to sabotage my plans, destroying my Kuva Siphons!! now it’s your turn. *insert evil laugh*"

•"That's right! I knew all along that Alad V would betray me. It was all part of my diabolical plan! Muahahaha! Oh, I almost forgot! You may not be able to recognize her at first, but I brought an old friend here that just can’t wait to see you!, Isn’t that right sis?” That was when Guen, or rather, the Elder Queen, stepped into view. Her exterior appears to be made out of hardened Kuva. “Hello Tenno” says the Elder Queen “Miss me?” The Operator stares for a moment in disbelief. She must be an imposter he thinks, but then he looks into her eyes, her eyes are identical to that of the Elder Queen (A brief flashback of the Elder Queen’s face just before her previous death plays, as a way to fill the player in on what the Operator is thinking) “It’s her...”

•The Operator, filled with shock, fear, and rage knows not what to do. So he simply drops to the floor with defeat. “All of that work, for nothing” he mumbles to himself. He had done everything within his power to bury the Elder Queen for good, yet it wasn’t enough.

•“Well anyway, enough drama.” Says the Worm Queen “The reason I lured you here, is to watch you DIE!” The Worm Queen violently slams on a button on her end of the hologram. Suddenly all of the doors around you slam shut. The words “SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED!” blast the Operator’s eardrums from every direction, but he hardly even notices. “Good luck Tenno!” Says the Elder Queen as she chuckles.

•The room around you begins to shake violently, fires start to spread, everything starts to fall apart, and a count down timer gets displayed on the bottom of your screen, but the Operator remains on the floor with his head down.

•“Operator! Operator! Please get up! Can’t you see you’re in danger!” Pleads Ordis, but the Operator hardly moves a muscle. As Ordis pleads and pleads the Operator begins to slowly raise his head, and Ordis’ voice slowly fades away until there is nothing left but silence. The Operator looks directly at the Queens with extreme intensity and says, “I will find you”. The Elder Queen Remains unfased, but the Worm Queen shows a hint of fear. Then the Operator quickly shoots the device projecting the hologram, cutting off its signal.

•He then slowly picks himself back up and Ordis’ voice slowly fades back in. “OPERATOR PLEASE! OPERA— Oh! thank goodness, for a moment there I was sure I had lost you! I was so worr—” “What’s the plan Ordis” the Operator says bluntly “Oh, yes of course Operator, I found an alternate exit while you were— um... I’ve taken the liberty of marking it on your mini map” “Thanks Ordis”.

•Then just head to extraction before the timer hits zero and you have completed the first Guen blueprint mission.

•When you finally get back to your orbiter it will say “mission success: summary”, then display the quest completion message, only it will say “Quest Incomplete, The Kuva Queen”. It will seem as though you had lost, it will seem as though that were the last mission, but then Ordis will say, “Operator, I am detecting some unusual Kuva activity on *so and so planet*” That’s when you will begin the final mission of the “Kuva Queen” quest.

Quest, mission #6 (*Picture deleted* blueprint, for real this time):
All that you have left to do is track down the Elder Queen in her new form and kick her out of Guen, only she’s super powerful now. She is beaten the exact same way a Kuva Lich is.

More info:

Spoiler

•Here the few things that make this fight different from a Kuva Lich; The areas claimed by the Elder Queen will be highlighted orange instead of red, Her Kuva Thralls have an orange outline around them instrad of a blue one, She uses Guen's abilities while in battle, And, when you go into the Elder Queen's information menu, all of her weaknesses, resistances, and all other potentially useful information about her will be illegible. It will be full of question marks, scribbles, and all sorts of random symbols where the actual information should be. 

•Once you have weakened her enough, you’ll be prompted to use transference on her. Once you do, you will transfer into Guen, pushing out the Elder Queen. Unfortunately, the Elder Queen trying her best to resist causes severe damage to Guen during transference, leaving behind nothing but Guen’s blueprint.

•While the Elder Queen had once again been beaten, this was not the end, because as she was being forced out of Guen she said “You may have beaten me for now, but the war has only just begun” then she vanished like a ghost. Once you have kicked the Elder Queen out of Guen, all that's left to do is grab Guen's blueprint and head to extraction.

•When you get back to your orbiter you’ll be greeted with a proper quest completion message saying “Quest Complete, The Kuva Queen” and a congrats from Ordis. In addition, after completing the “Kuva Queen” quest, you will receive a message from Alad V. As an extra thanks he sends you a little something that he stole from the Queens, 15,000 Kuva *Picture deleted*.

•Then it will just be the Operator and Ordis talking amongst themselves. The Operator proceeds to ask Ordis, “So, what should we call her”, and Ordis responds, “You want to name it!? But why Operator!? Didn’t it try to kill you?” “No, it didn’t try to kill me, the Queens did, and we have to call it something, we can’t just keep calling it, “it” all the time.” “Operator, please tell me you’re not thinking of rebuilding that thing, what if it’s a trap!? What if they wanted this to happen!?” “It’s not Ordis, trust me. Now, come on, what’s a good name?” “Well, if you must name it, how about; DEVIL!, DEMON SPAWN!, EVIL!, GARBAGE!, NOT TO BE TRUSTED!, Guen... TOILET WATER! STUPID FAILURE! MURDERER! TURD BASKET! GARBA—” “Whoa, back up a little.” “Yes of course Operator; TOILET WATER! STUPID FAILURE! MURD—” “No no, before that, Guen, that’s not bad. Yeah, Guen, I like it.” “YUUCK-K-K-EE—E-ER-rrrrrr! Guen is a STUPID! name, whoever came up with that should go DIE! GARBAGE! TOILET WATER! MURDE—E—E—ERrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, also...”

And that's the end of the “Kuva Queen” quest.

 

-Future story:

Spoiler

Once you finally throw the Elder Queen out of Guen, her soul and mind will travel back to her previous corpse. They will remain trapped there until she is provided with a new body, and she will someday.

Long after the discovery of Guen and the defeat of the Elder Queen, the Worm Queen will begin to construct her second death defying beast, one far more powerful than the last, similar at its core, yet different in every way, evolved.

This one is not made of pure Kuva, it will have mechanical tentacles, metal claws, and other attachments which add to its evil sinister vibe.

The only way to fight this one is by using Guen, because only Guen is strong enough to combat this threat, and even she is seemingly no match for this creature.

This new Kuva Queen is going to be much bigger and stronger than Guen, this one will be defeated in a vastly different way. It will be more like a boss than a Lich. Also, all of her abilities/ attacks will be completely different.

This new and evil Kuva Queen creation has no name. It will never have a name because this time, you don't get to bring home your brand new Kuva toy and name it. You don't get to have it’s blueprints because this time, you have to kill this thing for good, and this one is beyond saving. Once you have defeated it there will be no blueprints for you to salvage.

Upon defeating this boss there is a chance that it will drop a relic which can be used to farm for Guen Prime. This is the only way of getting Guen Prime's relics, unless you trade for it.

After killing this second death defying Kuva creature, it will be clear that the Worm Queen is far more cunning and dangerous than she appears, and the only way to make this madness stop would be to kill the Worm Queen. But you never get the chance. (You can’t because then that would mean the end of Kuva Siphon/ Flood missions).

Long after you have destroyed yet another one of the Elder Queen’s fancy suits, the Elder Queen will return for the third time. This time, the body that the Elder Queen resurfaces in will be a bit different from the rest. Instead of a new Kuva Warframe with which to fight off the Tenno and take over the world, this time it’s more of a computer Kuva hybrid.

You will be told to fight another evil, Warframe looking creature, under the impression that it is the Elder Queen’s new body. But defeating it comes far too easily and the Operator gets suspicious. As the Operator continues to investigate his suspicions he eventually learns the truth. The Elder Queen is no longer of one mind.

She will look kind of like Cephalon Simaris, but she will be hooked up to a bunch of big messy wires and huge clunky monitors. Also, everything she is connected to will be covered in both liquid and hardened Kuva. You will try to blow up the computer she now resides in, but quickly realize that she is able to simply transfer her consciousness to a different computer instantly.

The Worm Queen has built the Elder Queen a cyber-neural command center with which she can remotely control all of her subjects/ subordinates with ease. Not only that, she created an entire army of mindless Kuva infused Grineer which the Elder Queen can now control from a distance. These Grineer are far more powerful than regular Grineer, but they’re a bit dumber, so they miss a lot (The Elder Queen can only focus on so many things at once).

She’s a hive mind now, and there appears to be no way of stopping her. But you will never stop trying, because once you get to the Elder Queen, you dismantle her entire army of Grineer puppets, and you leave the Worm Queen completely vulnerable. This would provide you with a chance to end it all for good. The death of the Worm Queen would finally mark the end of one of the Tenno’s biggest threats. But of course this could never happen, it would only get very close. The Worm Queen will always escape somehow, again and again, always renewing the never ending cycle. The endless struggle between the Queens and the Tenno.

 

-Trivia:

Spoiler

•Guen is a whole new breed of Warframe. Unlike the other Warframes, Guen was never alive, even before being turned into a Warframe. She was created when a combination of Mutalist and Helminth infested strains were applied to Kuva.

•Guen is unable to feel emotion or pain. This is why she is able to expel pieces of herself so easily. Though she cannot feel pain, she can still be damaged, she simply isn't fazed by it. Also, since she's an inanimate object she cannot think at all.

•Guen is short for Sanguen, which is an old Latin word for blood.

•The reason Guen’s deluxe skin is called “Lakshmi” is because Kuva, in Sanskrit, means lotus. And the name “Lakshmi” belongs to a Hindu goddess who is often associated with the lotus flower and is even sometimes referred to as the lotus goddess.

•Guen is the first and only Warframe to have a max rank of 40.

•Guen has the highest price out of any Warframe in the codex (*Picture deleted* 400 plat).

•Guen has one of the most expensive deluxe skins (*Picture deleted* 200 plat). Guen’s “Lakshmi” skin is tied for most expensive with the Nyx’s “Pasithea” skin.

•Guen is the first Warframe that does not have definitive polarities.

•Guen is the first and only Warframe to have Overhealth.

•Guen is the first and only Warframe who’s blueprints require Kuva exclusively.
