Which Arcane Helmets Are Worth Having

[Jaskaran498]

Hi

So.... Can someone tell me which arcane helmets are worth having?

My focus is on power efficiency, speed and power strength (quite understood huh?).

So far I have arcane- vanguard/vespa/chorus/phoenix/squall. Anymore you would recommend?

[Elvang]

• Vanguard
• Storm
• Espirit
• Pendragon
• Swindle
• Locust
• Avalon
• Essence
• Aura
• Pulse
• Reverb
• Phoenix
• Coil
• Vespa
• Meridian
• Chlora
• Gauss
• Chorus

The rest can be ignored because they modify stamina, armor, or health in exchange for useful stuff.

Gotta have em all

 

Tbh, get as many as you can, then decide which ones you like most, i would recommend the pulse one for volt if you like,and the locust one for ash, also, maybe both excal helms igf you play him

 

The small stat boosts you get work wonders for you over time and allow a slight bit more flexibility than usual while you play

If you play Rhino and don't get the vanguard, you got problems.

havnt got it dont need it. silly post

I mostly focused on the ones that affect powers

 

The ones i recommend are

 

Nyx Vespa Helm (Nyx's armor is already bad so penalty doesnt hurt as much, also the efficiency helps with stuff like absorb)

Rhino Vanguard Helm (Gotta go fast)

Ash Locust Helm (Again more energy always helps)

Trinity Aura Helm (Gives additional duration for link and energy vampire )

Banshee Chorus Helm (Helps give additional efficiency over the hard cap)

Frost Squall Helm (i play frost as a caster so power strength helps a bit)

Loki Swindle Helm (basically all of loki's abilities except invisibility benefit from additional range)

Mag Coil Helm (range helps for abilities like pull)

Volt Pulse Helm (basically use it for additional duration for speed )

 

Hope this helps :)

Yeah ok, arcane pulse and locust could be worth getting. As for excaliber, I only use his radial blind, so no helm can health with that xD

EDIT:

Lol got a lot of replies while I was typing on my phone. Thanks for those, will get them too xD though for Loki, I was thinking about getting essence, since it helps with efficiency (I don't use fleeting, due to Loki's benefit in durations)

Loki > Essence Helm (+15% efficiency -5%armor)

Excalibur > Pendragon Helm (+15% power strength -5% armor)

Trinity > Aura Helm(+25% power duration -5% health)

Volt > Storm Helm (+10% power strength -5% stamina)

 

Additional :

Mag > Coil Helm (+25% range -5% shields)

Loki > Swindle (+15% range -5% shields)

 

Edit : Fixed

Ummm idk... Warframe abilities normally fall of at higher levels (especially those related with power strength), so I wonder if I should rather get pulse helm for volt that increases total available energy for mods...

Its more efficient to use efficiency with duration. The energy cost per second drops faster via efficiency than duration for most abilities, and if you use both you can regenerate more energy than you spent with a single energy siphon before invisibility even ends.

The strength helm is extremely useful if you're trying to max out your Speed boost.

Not gauss, coil

[Darzk]

In order of priority:

Any Efficiency helmet, Rhino's Vanguard, Mag's Coil, Saryn's Chlora, Trinity's Aura and either Volt helmet to preference.

Any +energy helmet for a frame without an efficiency helmet (thinking Vaub/Ember), Frost's Squall

 

The others are very minor adjustments and won't have much of an impact either way.

I am confused... Should I get arcane reverb or arcane chorus? :/
