CrimsonDalekanium Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Okay, so I was looking at the Warframes after I (finally) collected every frame that hasn't been vaulted or founder-exclusive. I was wondering what to do next when I thought, "Hey, why don't we make builds for themed warframes." The builds are BY NO MEANS best for these warframes, do some sort of bonus damage, or do anything other than look kinda cool in the loadout. To explain what I mean, here is an example. Frame: Mesa Theme: Gunslinger/Cowgirl Primary: Sybaris Reason: Lever Action Old-timey rifle Secondary :Akvasto Reason : Dual Revolvers, looks awesome. Melee: Karyst/Heat dagger (possible blade+whip?) Reason: Fits the American Western theme, looks a bit like a Bowie or a buckknife. Also, there will not be separate builds for prime/nonprime frames. The frame name will be there, and that's it. It is because to make a frame's theme into its primed version, you... make everything in the build that you can prime. That's it. Also, I will try to avoid Event weapons (including sortie), Baro-exclusive weapons, and vaulted weapons. The reason this is here is to receive other input into: A. If I have mistaken what a warframe's "theme" is, or B. If there is a better weapon than the one suggested. Frames A-F Spoiler Frame : Ash Theme : Ninja Primary: Cernos Reason :Silent, Ornate Secondary: Spira, Despair, Kunai, or Hikou Reason: Silent, Thrown Knives/Shuriken Melee: Ninkondi Reason: Well, they're nunchuks...

Gotta get that alt helm somehow... Frame: Ember Theme:Fire/Volcanic Primary: Ignis Reason: Fire Secondary: Atomos Reason: Fire Melee: Dual Heat Swords Reason: Duuuuuh Frame: Equinox Theme: Duality (Light/Dark, Good/Evil) Primary: Sancti Tigris Reason: Healing pulse, two shots per trigger pull Secondary: Sancti Castanas Reason: Healing pulse, dual usage Melee: Silva and Aegis Reason: Offense/Defense balance Frame: Excalibur Theme: Medieval Swordsman Primary: Attica/Daikyu Reason: Crossbow/Longbow Secondary:Akbolto/Ballistica Reason: Flintlock pistols, pocket crossbow Melee:Galatine Reason: Can't have Excalibur itself, but this should work fine. Frame: Frost Theme: Ice Primary:Glaxion Reason: To tell you the truth, I'd rather go bowling. Secondary:White energy Atomos Reason: Cuz I didn't have anything better, and it looks like a freeze ray.

(PSN)Elctrcstel Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) very cool idea. adds a nice challenge and i look forward to see more of this for Atlas, you should use the Tekko since it even says in the codex that they are his "signature" weapon Edited April 11, 2016 by (PS4)Elctrcstel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Shade0217 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Mind if I take a crack at a Prime?Frame: Ash Prime Theme: Ninja, but prime Primary: Paris Prime - Reason: Silent, ninjas use bows, is a primed bow, is gorgeous. Secondary: Spira Prime - Reason: His first ability basically uses Hikou Prime, ninjas use throwing knives, looks GREAT on him. Melee: Nikana Prime/Dual Kamas Prime - Reason: (Nikana) There currently isn't a Katana Wakizashi combo, Ninjas did use katanas, looks goregous and pairs with Spira Prime already. Reason: (Kamas) We don't have a Kusirigama, reminds me of Hanzo Hattori from Samurai Warriors Thoughts?

Ibro156 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Frost's Primary: Glaxion Frost's Secondary: Atmost with white energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonDalekanium Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 I hadn't been going to do primed warframes as separate from normal warframes, because of all of the vaulting things and that the only difference would be "(Frame), but SHINIER/better". However, I don't want to give the impression that me and only me can come up with ideas. For some reason, I thought Glaxion was an archwing weapon. Oh well, live and learn.

Pavelord Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 You got some nice combinations there, these are some of my personal choices: Chroma Primary:Hind- because for me the 5 round burst is symbolic of the 5 chromatic dragons from dnd. Melee: Scindo/Prime- because I see Chroma more as a Dragon slayer theme than a Dragon theme frame, giant axe for a giant dragon. Ember Melee: Prisma dual cleaver- because of the firey motive on warm colors. Hidroid Primary: Tiberon- because it sounds like "tiburón" which means "shark", and the rifle has fins/blades. Mirage Melee: for her I go with whips for a circus tamer kind of vibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonDalekanium Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 If I could get a legitimate WHIP, none of these whip/blade things, I would do that for mesa and mirage. The Tiberon thing sounds like a bit of a stretch. If it had a more fish or sharklike appearance, then maybe. I'm trying to avoid using Weapons that you absolutely must spend plat on to obtain, such as past Baro weapons or vaulted primes. Never played D+D, and I don't think anybody else who hasn't played it will understand. I see where you are going with the dragon slayer vibe, but would a giant axe or a giant sword be more appropriate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSpectre Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Am I doing this right? Valkyr: crazed slashy kitty theme Primary: Panthera coz slice and dice Secondary: AkJagara coz ^ Melee: Ripkas/Venkas with obligatory Ballet of Death stance er, I mean... Vermillion Storm.

DjaAkh Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 For Atlas, I suggest Ogris. It's the closest thing we have to an avalanche :) Banshee is tricky'. Id go with Latron Wraith, because it's silent, even though it's not, and it's long and elegant like herself. Alternatively Vectis (or any other sniper rifle) with hush. Since, there are no real sound-based melee weapons, I'd go with an elegant blade weapon like Skana (in which you could put the New Loka mod for Purity, which is kind of a sound attack. At least it makes "poof" and everyone around you dies.) Equinox as a primary: Sancti Tigris. Same reason as for the Sancti Castanas, plus it's a dual-barrel shotgun ;) Loki: theme Stealth/Trickster (but also: being squishy) Primary: I'd go for Daikyu. It's silent, waaay to thin and if you miss, you die due to its terrible fire rate. Secondary: Kunai. Reason: Ever seen Loki with his Kunai playing behind his back, so someone in frond of him can't see it? Also, with a few mods, you end up with a VERY fast weapon. Melee: Bo. Reason: It's a very simple weapon with surprisingly much rag-dolling, but not so much damage. Basically it's the melee weapon for trolling.

(PSN)ArnnFrost Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I actually play Ash as a Ninja using Bows and Hikous but since mine is Prime he uses Paris Prime, Explosive Hikou Prime for mass murder (or as i liked to call em, the American Ninja) Nikana Prime to complete the Japanese theme. As for Excalibur he uses the Dex weapons for being The First, Lotus's favorite. Frost Prime is a Royal Knight/Guard here so I gave him Lex Prime and Burston Prime for the stylishness and Orthos Prime for the unique holster. Atlas is Star Platinum from JoJo's bizarre adventures themed so of course he'd have his Gaia's Tragedy, Sonicor and a Sniper (Vectis Prime) because he can't extend his fingers in Warframe without offending a Loki somehow, so its Star Sniper instead of STAR FINGA!

CrimsonDalekanium Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Updated with Nekros through Saryn. Do people read through the frames they are suggesting for? Destreza was there for limbo, tekko was there for atlas prior to people suggesting them. I understand if the warframe wasn't up yet, but could people please please please read at least the section for the warframe they are suggesting.

(PSN)GamerCat535 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Heeeeeey, this kind of theme-ing is how I build all of my warframes!! :D I love my build list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorila_Azul Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Wukong - Chinese theme. Primary - Sybaris, reflecting Chinese pioneering in the use of gunpowder with that burst, old fashioned rifle. Secondary - Pyrana, same reason as the primary. Matches well with the Sybaris. Melee - Tonbo. When painted right, it will look like the most Chinese thing ever. Will edit a screenshot of this loadout into this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
