[Warframe Concept] Legion - The Doppelganger Warframe

[Kai]

This is Legion, the infinite. The army.

 

Outnumbered Tenno? Don't worry, Legion is more than enough.

 

_________________________________________

 

Splitting his individuality, Legion is a versatile warframe capable of evening the odds through their tricky and overwhelming ability to cover ground and increase their overall power.

_________________________________________

 

Dual Force - Passive

Grants +20% Damage while wielding Dual-Handed Melee Weapons and +25% Magazine Size to Dual-Handed Secondary Weapons.

 

_____________________

 

Double-Up - First Ability

Upon activation, causes Legion's next Primary or Secondary Shot to fire twice, with the second shot not costing Ammo  or causes Legion's next Melee Attack to strike twice with the second strike gaining increased damage. 

 

_____________________

 

Shadow Walk - Second Ability / Toggle

Upon activation, Legion leaves a clone in his destination while draining energy each second active. Once de-activated or upon reaching maximum range, Legion switches position with his clone and causing it to explode, dealing Impact damage to nearby enemy units around the clone.

 

_____________________

 

Cluster Net - Third Ability

Legion throws a bomb that detonates after a few seconds, netting a number of enemy units, preventing them from moving or attacking for a few seconds. If the number of enemy units netted becomes 3 or less, they are pulled at the center.

 

_____________________

 

Doppelgangers - Fourth Ability

Legion divides himself, creating 2 specters of Legion with a percentage of his health, armor and energy to wield his Secondary Weapon and Melee Weapon while leaving the original Legion to his Primary Weapon. These specters are capable of casting abilities as normal. Pressing the Weapon Switch Button,will allow the player to switch control between all 3 Legions for the duration. 

 

At the end of the duration, all specters will converge to the Legion currently being controlled and restoring a percentage of health equal to the remaining health of the specters. Specters of Legion can also pickup Health and Energy Orbs as well as Ammo in which it will be given to the Legion currently being controlled.

Interesting concept but wouldn't it make more sense for gemini to be female?

I haven't depicted Gemini yet to be honest, it can go He/She/They - or a group in a sense.

cool, but i think it would function too similarly to mirage

That's where you are wrong good sir, if you were to compare Gemini's Doppelganger to Mirage's Hall of Mirrors, they have totally different functions. As Mirage's Hall of Mirrors creates illusions that deals damage and helps enemies misfire - Gemini's Doppelganger creates Specters (if you tried one of those) that basically expands his gameplay, allowing you to cover a wide range of area if necessary through it. Although Doppelganger is more effective once you have decent Primary, Secondary and Melee equipped but otherwise, all are capable of killing enemies independently.

there's still the fact that his ultimate involves creating damage-dealing copies. Since each of the specters has a weapon and can act independently of you, they will be drawing fire from enemies and dealing damage to enemies, similar to mirage. The comparison can't be avoided, though I don't think it's a bad thing since it fits his theme. 

 

Speaking of theme...

 

Since IRL Gemini is based off of twins, shouldn't his 4th ability ability create a single copy so that there are two of him? Makes more sense thematically. The clone could have a full weapon set or buffed stats to compensate for the loss of another clone and to better differentiate itself from Mirage (though doing the whole 2 frames in one is thematically similar to Equinox).

Although these specters act on their own, not own command like if Mirage shoots, they shoot. These specters can also die which will result to a lower health recovery upon end of the duration. 

 

As for the theme - I did thought of that ability since it was originally one of the concepts I had before Equinox came to Warframe. Along with many other. Gemini basically stemmed out of Origin which is one of the Syndicate Frames I made here -> https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/381894-warframe-concept-idea-syndicate-warframes/

 

EDIT: Got an idea, gonna change the name.
