Houdin, The Escape Artist [Updated; Fixing The Ability]

[Vurige]

This is my concept for a New Warframe
Houdin is mainly a self-defense warframe but can become support if needed. The playstyle is much similar to Loki but he has more support ability to help his teammates during chaotic battle.
He not an offensive type but he is the longest one to live, with all ability that make himself and his allies got a longer lifespan, even from the hardest level.

Edit : I make a fixing with his 3rd and 4th ability but I still nt sure about that, so I need more suggestion for his ability, just remember his theme is escaping and team safety


Still working on concept, but this is the first one

-CODEX entry

This is Houdin. The Magician. The Guardian

Specializing in support. He can be very helpful to helping fellow Tennos to survive and escape from chaotic battle.

Houdin's abilities are focusing on supporting, and escaping the battle.

Shockwave Bomb, launching a disc that emits shockwave when it hit any solid form, make the enemies within it's range falling down, giving all Tennos chance to escape or fight back.

Glacial Mines will make Houdin Throw a disc that will stick to any surface, including allies, make the enemies who come too close got slowed down by sub-zero temperature

Use escape when you are surrounded by countless enemies to run away, or teleporting you to make you closer to the enemies, allowing you to catching breath and think for your next move, or giving them a quick surprise attack.

Taking heavy casualties Tenno?. Dimension 4 will make Houdin creates an individual dimension and provides emergency escape and place to hide from enemy fire for all Tennos. Allowing Houdin, and his teammates to catching breath and planning for the next move.

Using the right mods can make the Houdin's Trick even more useful than before.

Equipping strength mods will give more damage dealt from Shockwave Bomb
Range mods will increase the range of shockwave from Shockwave Bomb, area of Glacial Mines, and distance of Escape ability
While duration mods can make the Glacial Mines and dimension 4 last longer.

Houdin can be appear and gone within a blink of eyes. Keep your eyes of his presence Tenno.

Very intriguing concept; I agree that less Warframes should be oriented towards damaging abilities, and a new trickster on the field is always cool.  I think the problem with Mass Teleport is the abusing troll factor of it where guys would rank up Flow and Streamline just to continually pull their allies out of battle when that's not what they wanted.  With some tweaks this could be a fun frame to play, though.

Only bad part about mass teleport is how trolly people could be in exterm or assassination. Imagine if there's 100+ enemies in the area, and tons were kept up in a certain spot and the guys already found them. Sounds like a troll move or when you find the boss but you have to run back to him. Other ideas are good but make the ult energy to 100. I don't recall a frame that has 100 less for there ult.

Some people wouldn't like his 3rd ability "Dexterity" because it may cause them to miss jumps or something similar. It's also too similar to Volts "Speed" ability. A lot of people would absolutely hate his 4th ability "Mass Teleport" because of how easily it can be used to troll.

 

But other then that it doesn't sound bad.

[Retrikaethan]

so basically, another loki?
