Wrangler Cowboy Warframe Concept

[Trusnam]

Had this idea when I woke up and thought I'd share.

The idea is for a cowboy warframe that focuses on roping and rope tricks rather than on guns.

 

1st ability. Lasso: You lasso a group of enemies and pull them right up next to you (specifically next to you and not just towards you).

 

2nd ability. Hog Tie: Tie up a single enemy, that enemy is disabled and takes more damage.

-If you use Lasso on on an enemy effected by Hog Tie then any other enemies you catch with the lasso will also be effected by Hog Tie.

-(An augment that will grant a chance to drop energy orbs on killing enemies effected by Hog Tie would be nice as the frame would be an energy hog with all of it's other abilities).

 

3rd Ability. Rope Trick: The frame will twirl a magnetic rope around itself attracting bullets into the rope that will grant damage reduction and hit any enemies that come in contact with the rope.

-(if standing still an animation will play where the frame will jump around through the rope doing rope tricks).

-The ability will not be effected by range mods, but the range will be increased to fit around Storm Bringer when it is active.

 

4th Ability. Storm Bringer: Summon a horse made of void energy named Storm Bringer. The ability deals damage to enemies every second (or every .5 sec) within a small set range (range not effected by mods) for as long as the ability is maintained. The ability should either function as an exalted weapon or (preferably) like Khora's and deal damage based on the mods from your melee weapon (and would increase the combo counter). 

-While the ability is active you'll be riding on the back of the void horse Storm Bringer. 

-Holding down the aim button will grant a bullet time effect for as long as the ability is active (even when running), unless you are in the air.

-Storm bringer will jump around and buck if there are enemies within line of sight when not moving (which would make aiming hard, but that's why there would be a bullet time effect when aiming). But when there are no enemies within line of sight, Storm Bringer will stand calm (and will stand calmly if you are aiming before an enemy comes within line of sight as long as you continue aiming).

-Using Storm Bringer will either disable a melee weapon or will only allow you to swing the weapon from one side of Storm bringer (or the other when using the right mouse button, or equivalent).

-many mobility options will be unavailable while using Storm Bringer. Such as, bullet jumping, wall latching, sliding etc. Crouching may just have the frame duck down into the saddle (if there is one).

-Movement speed and jump height will be increased and the speed may be effected by mods.

 

I imagine either Lasso or Hog Tie would be the subsumed ability. 

I can't tell if I've forgotten anything besides a name and a passive (I couldn't think of any good ones, so go ahead and suggest some), so let me know of all the holes I've left.

I do realize that due to Storm Bringer this frame would become a nightmare for the animators, but hopefully it'd be worth it.
