Dagath, yes very exciting....anyway, Warframe has shadows let's weaponize that.

[(PSN)Hopper_Orouk]

*Obligatory random first ability that does whatever I guess

*That second ability that will probably redefine the meta not that it even matters.

*That Obligatory third ability buff that increases something Idk, like the critical chance to find out who asked.

*Fourth ability that looks shiny but will get subsumed anyway.

DaMID aside, can we talk about my new recent obsession? SHADOW POWERS!

Sevagoth has a shadow, but it's more of an astral projection or a spirit essence of his, it's not his LITERAL shadow manifesting

Let's make a Warframe that can control his own shadow, like Zato from guilty gears, Pride from fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, Ninjas from Naruto...and so many more.

it's one of the coolest and unique powers.

 

now the only way this could work in Warframe if he can create his own light source to cast a shadow in the first place, we don't want a mirage situation to happen again, maybe firing weapons can light the room?

Mirage's Eclipse waves the hand.

Probably not something the engine is capable of, not to mention low graphics settings outright disable shadows, and once you get into shadow attacks, you're more or less back into the realm of spectre attacks (Mirage, Sevagoth, etc)

sounds like a possible augment for Nekros more than anything. he already has shadows, he just doesn't have precise control over them.

Actual shadows will be impossible to to design with the reasons you said and they tend to be 2D only, so it'll be ridiculous to see, allowing the "Shadow" people from the Druvri things or Rell, will be as close as possible to what OP wants.

You can pretend to be a shadow with Undertow. Not for long, though 😒

you guys realize they can animate special shadow abilities instead of tampering with the game's existing codes?

like this warframe would have her or his own special shadow, just like Nidus has a special body. and voruna has her wolves that can separate from her body.

you're thinking too much on the surface level, this is something the game can easily do with no tie in to the actual shadows of the game.

I'd love a shadow themed frame. Some "Vanishing on 7th Street" theme would be cool, or like the Shadow Summoner in Shadow and Bone. Something where touching the shadows created harms or kills. Maybe base it around light bending so the frame can stretch and project their shadow in different sizes and directions to do different things.

for op , the specifics of dagath powers: 

FIRST ABILITY: WYRD SCYTHES

Dagath creates spectral sickles that rotate and expand around her, doing Viral Damage on enemies it hits and slows them. If a spectral sickle hits an enemy affected by Phantom Wrath, it refreshes the curse duration and applies the curse to nearby enemies.

SECOND ABILITY: DOOM

Conjures a spectral energy from her faceless head that rapidly expands in a cone, inflicting low damage and cursing the enemies with Phantom Wrath. Phantom Wrath curse can stack with multiple casts of Doom, and will do multiple damage instances while active — as indicated by the sickle icon above your enemy’s head

THIRD ABILITY: GRAVE SPIRIT

Dagath gains increased Critical Damage on all her weapons and gains protection from the spectral realm. When she receives a fatal blow, she will immediately go into her spectral form and will evade all incoming attacks for a short duration. Once exiting her Spectral Form, Grave Spirit will enter a cooldown before it can be cast again.

FOURTH ABILITY: RAKHALI’S CAVALRY

Summon five spectral horses that travel forward at a high pace and ram on the enemies, inflicting massive Viral damage. If Phantom Wrath is active, horses strip the target’s defenses on each damage instance.

I wish they kept undertow as a hold option or something. 

Even Grendel got to keep the funny ball.

Or a crouch ability. It'd be like operator always going into void mode.
