Sh1n3y Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Just made Zephyr and was looking at her stats. Why is she so tanky (invulnerability skill, 450 shield, 450 health)? I don't mind except for the fact that I don't think a warframe who has the air/bird theme should be so tanky. Birds are usually thought of as being delicate. o.O Please don't take this as criticism or that I'm looking for her stats/skills to change. I am just one of those people who likes things to make sense. i.e. Elves with a bow, dwarves with axes, rhino with a shotgun, Loki with a bow etc...

War_Admiral_Adama Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Steel Falcon from Megaman wasn't delicate. (: Edited March 20, 2014 by Lynches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bejuizb Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 She's extremely strong because of her mobility. Her stats don't make her invulnerable, they just scale better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un1337ninj4 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) And a D Polarity. Totally agree, it's a li'l funny. Overall I stand with bejuizb however. Edited March 20, 2014 by un1337ninj4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxbomb Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Huh, that is peculiar, Iron Skin and armor rating aside she's actually tankier then the tank frames (not sure how good Turbulence is at protecting her though, don't have her yet). Does seem a bit like overkill, but I think I'll take her for a test run as soon as she's done building before I judge.

That's not really something that makes sense. That's just something popular that has been accepted as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowCore67 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Her lack of any decent armor makes her health drop like a rock once her shields are down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who uses Zephyr alot I can say that you 'can' go down just as fast as other frames, however Turbulence on paper 'seems' OP, until a Rocket gets deflected to your feet and almost kills you [has happened]. Or enemys seem to find that one spot/get in many good shots or just seem to overwhelm Turbulence and then you are getting turned into Warframe Swish Cheese. It is by no means Iron skin, but maybe a Tier or two under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Lucios_Chancla Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Being as how I'm running Zephyr right now, yeah her shield and health scale, but you die very quickly when your shields drops. Turbulence is....ok with the right duration mods, but its tornado that's incredible with the right mods attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riasiru Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Zephyr, while I haven't used her, seems to be a skirmish frame from what I heard in this topic. High mobility w/ a skill that deflects incoming damage. I think I'll buff her shield regen before I buff the capacity for just this reason. If it deflects often enough for shields to recharge in the middle of the fray, she could prove to be very durable... And if they do go down, you can get out of dodge right quick. (Or so I assume.)

Incarmine Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Zephyr doesn't seem nearly as ridiculous to me as Trinity does. Mod that frame right with the right helmet and you have 30+ seconds of invulnerability for the whole team. The fact that she looks like a nurse just makes it even sillier. Invicible nurse-frame.

Monolake Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Turbulence is quite strong defence/survivability skill as well - it makes everyone around you miss. Its better than Iron Skin for high levels vs ranged units. Edited March 20, 2014 by Monolake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feallike Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Turbulence is Rhino skin if you keep moving, Zephyr is the... well..... Sanic frame, you can run around the map at the speed of sound while having something on that makes you indistructable as long as you keep moving... Her ult, is the ultimate CC attack, its on par with Nyx. Her 1st ability, is a God teir ability since you can move around and get into vantage points with ease and get out of bad situation before your enemies know what hit them. :D and her 3rd ability, is GOd mode as long as you keep moving. :D In short, she is Rhino and Nyx combined, while being faster then both. :P Edited March 20, 2014 by Feallike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neogeo Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 High level Napalm still burn through Zephyr in one hit. Her invulnerable doesn't protect her from aoe damage and knockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
