Stefanovich Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Glaxion got a buff. A small buff, but a buff nevertheless. But it needs more. Among the myriad of eligible buffs to this weapon, I think one of them could be a side utility that could help any Frost player out there. What if shooting a Snowglobe with Glaxion healed it rather than hurt it? It would have to be a good amount of health restored per second, as it is extremely situational and takes up your primary weapon slot. So to make it a valid choice in high level defense, I think Glaxion should heal the globe 10hp per ammo consumed on the globe. So, if I use 10 ammo on the globe, it will have healed 100hp. Or you could base it off of the Glaxion's cold damage. Say, 5hp for every 1 point of cold damage done to the globe. Either way, it should be a good amount of healing power for use on high levels of play. Obviously we can't test these numbers in-game, but I think it would be enough to give a support Frost incentive to use the Glaxion for high level defense. Tell me what you think. Too stronk, or just what Glaxion (and Frost's Snowglobe) could use to make them slightly better? It is important to note that Glaxion will need additional improvements to be viable as a whole. This is just one of those improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brynslustafir Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That actually sounds like a neat idea. Take my +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheImmortalHotDog Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'd also like for the Glaxion to absorb some of the cold in the Snowglobe and maybe add a little bit more range and damage. Maybe something like Electric Shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathKoala Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That's... A surprisingly good idea. I'm all for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnbeBleeder Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Why not do this for more weapons. The lanka could super charge from vaubans lightning balls. And the ignis could get additional range from Embers 4. Edited September 4, 2014 by Slyty98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yles9056 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 We don't have many weapons that have special interaction with specific warframe skills, but why not? In addition to healing Snow Globe, I think Glaxion should not break the ice on enemy when you use Frost's Freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arKRazor Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Neat idea but you'd end up having to deploy ammo plates to keep up with ammo consumption. At that point it'd be more cost effective to drop energy plates for new globes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traybong111 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Synergy between weapon and Warframe? What are we playing, Borderlands?!!! BLASPHEMY!! Personally I think this is a good idea but this kind of move could open up a whole mess of balance with weapons having unintended effects interacting with certain Warframe or skill (lookin at you zerker) Of course that's a slippery slope. Glaxion needs all the buff/utility it can get, being able to heal Snowglobe will give it a nice defensive use.

CapedBaldy Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I think forced synergy isn't a very nice thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xievie Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Sounds like a wonderful idea. +1. Would definitely make me use both more. The problem is that you would have to shoot it from outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nintega Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I still think just giving it the unique ability to freeze enemies, either through forced cold procs or some other mechanic, would be the best buff to give it, but it's not the first time there's been that specific of a weapon/frame interaction. Synapse fired through Electric Shield used to give it those red crits, along with the traditional hitscan conversion. The Snow Globe definitely shouldn't block the Glaxion's shot in that case, though. Shooting through the snow globe should do the heal, while still letting the ray travel to hit enemies. But yeah, good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.Katsura_999 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Normally I'd just spam snow globe, if 1 is not enough then try 10 or maybe 30, but since glaxion has no other uses than making ice sculptures at lower levels then why not but you will lose your primary weapon in terms of killing the enemy.
