A Copycat warframe: not entirely what you think.

[(PSN)Hopper_Orouk]

There's multiple concept art threads that suggest a mimic warframe, someone that mimics powers.

But this one is different, as he has more grounded powers than suggested before.

Theme: Copying attacks and moves instantly just by observing your enemies and allies, 

Passive: echo> 10% chance for any damage dealt to be dealt again. 

Arsenal> can equip another melee weapon at the cost of not equipping a secondary weapon 

First ability: Holographic projector> project a holographic cloak image of the last enemy you've killed, disguising yourself from the same enemy faction

Second ability: Fastforward>cast a long range aura that increases melee speed/reload speed and sprint speed of any ally standing in the aura. Capped at 2x speed

Aim and hold at an ally while the aura is active,  to mimic the current reload speed value of their primary and secondary weapons, the current melee speed value of their melee weapon and their current sprint speed value of their warframe.

Third ability: mirror shield> cast a shield on yourself that mirrors enemy attacks, any form of melee attacks/projectiles/bullets/status effects is mitigated and replicated with multiplied damage in an Aoe, you can only mirror one attack each second, the ability mirrors any kind of attack and moves, like moa's stomp attack or anything that affects you...the mirrored damage taken is dealt back as impact with 90% status chance affected by strength.

Fourth ability: Copycat> "i posses the fighting techniques of the greatest fighters in the world"

equip your current melee weapon with an exalted melee stance, 

If you have a sword>equip exalted blade stance with guaranteed slash status effect.

If you have a polearm>equip primal fury stance with increased range.

If you have claws> equip hysteria stance with guaranteed life steal.

If you have sparring weapons>equip desert wind stance with guaranteed impact status effect.

That last ability won’t be accepted. It takes away the uniqueness of other frames. That’s why the shapeshifter concept I’ve made has different abilities. If DE is not gonna make a frame whose abilities are very similar to another, why would they create a frame that has identical abilities? Also that last ability becomes useless without melees. Something DE changed for all exalted weapon users. Last, it would make Valkyr and others obsolete. Why use Excalibur if you could use this frame with the exact same fourth ability, and then some?

DE won’t allow it. This isn’t mortal Kombat or some other create-your-own-character-with-identical-abilities type game. DE intends on making all frames unique. Similar yet mostly different. Copycat goes against their entire concept or intent for warframe. 
 

Copying teammates’ stats like health, armor, shield, speed, etc. is one thing that could be allowed as long as it can do something for solo play, like gaining a stat buff from enemies. Similar to Nidus’s link having 2 uses. But copying abilities is not acceptable otherwise DE would have been done it. They know all about Shang Tsung(MK). Amazo(DC). Rogue(marvel). They have no intention on making an ability copying frame.

He doesn't copy the exalted weapon's abilities

He copies their stances 

Meaning no waves, no invincibility, no special abilities just the stance 

But you get minor benefits like guaranteed slash procs and what not
