Poseidon2029 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 So i have been workshopping this concept for some time now, since around mid 2022 and I think i finally have a concept for the abilities Insect based warframeSwarm is a Warframe based in the world of insects, her abilities each represent a breed of insect. Her appearance also reflects this as she looks to be comprised of interlocking chitin plates. With many more insect features as well, such as facial mandibles, numerous eyes and serrated forearms.Passive ability : Revival ColonyWhen an ally or companion is downed, insects converge on them and will begin reviving them mo matter where on the map they are located or how far they are from Swarm. (Cooldown 120 seconds.)Ability 1 : Silk BarrierSwarm deploys a layer of spider silk either on the floor, between walls or in a doorway, this silk when installed vertically prevents enemies from passing through and procs them with a toxin status effect, when layed flat on the ground it only slows enemies down and inflicts the same toxin effect.Ability 2 : Camponotus siphonSwarm sends out a colony of Worker ants that siphon energy from the environment and passively provide it to Swarm and her allies.Ability 3 : Bulwark BeetleThis ability increases Swarm's armor drastically but reduces speed by channeling the strength of the Hercules beetle.Ability 4 : Raptorial BladesSwarm summons her exalted weapons, a dual blade resembling giant mantis mandibles.

(XBOX)DragonMan 2700 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 yeah, seems good not op, fair imo 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashtorr_the_Arkifane Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Depending on if the upcoming Devstream Advertisement Art is a whole new waframe, or just a beetle skin for a different one, DE May have beaten you to the concept. However, your concept does sound rather fun, like a tank-of-all-trades sort of idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this in particular i was thinking of going with the third ability, simply because i think it could work really well with other warframes, take mesa for example, combine Bulwark beetle with her ult and she becomes a stationary immortal turret On 1/26/2023 at 5:56 PM, Vashtorr_the_Arkifane said: Depending on if the upcoming Devstream Advertisement Art is a whole new waframe, or just a beetle skin for a different one, DE May have beaten you to the concept.

In all honesty when i saw that concept for the devstream i was thinking the same thing to myself but i guess it's just a skin for rhino so im in the clear to keep working on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[relentless bulwark] : on cast, your frame begins moving at an extremely reduced speed, almost akin to being affected by a cold proc. incoming damage to the abilities buffed armour value increases the speed of your frame as it wears down with incoming damage. but you can not slow down at all. as bulwarks armour buff drops from incoming damage, and your momentum increases, enemies hit by your frame are knocked back and ragdolled with increasing relative force. also applying scaling impact damage. upon "consuming total armour value" of bulwark, your frame receives a short 3 seconds of invulnerability. running into an enemy during this invul grace period, ends the ability with a massive kinetic impact Aoe also.. props for being synced with DEs development process, and still enthusiastic to continue working on your idea...

(PSN)Frost_Nephilim Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Didnt read abilities cause ive already seen my favorite concepts of a swarm warframe, but yes we could use one. Just dealing tons of dot damage, satisfying ticks. Would be a sight to behold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like this concept for an augment, and having the drawback that you can't actually stop once it's active. And In terms of how I am with DE's process at this point it's pretty funny since i made a drawing about 7 months ago for another concept I made and there are striking resemblances between my concept for a space based frame (Locus) and citrine but only in the anesthetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
