[Ability concepts](WIP) A Quiver of tools for every Warframe. open to community participation. [added new abilities! Altering Loki's Switch Teleport and Frost's Freeze]

[(PSN)L-B-H-100]

The “quiver” concept is one similar to Ivara’s Quiver ability where she may use multiple tools available to her.

It would be interesting if this quiver concept could be applicable to curtain warframes abilities.

Before, I made a concept that would give warframes more powers to switch between their original ones. The concept was to give the warframe an Idea on just how creative they can be with their abilities.

now, i believe that the concept similar to Ivara's Quiver ability could be available to all warframe abilities.

how you use these abilities would be the same as you use Ivara's Quiver. however, unlike Ivara's vast choices of tools, each alternate ability will be as close to the warframes characteristics as possible.

Example: Excalibur’s radial Javelin.

The Radial javelin places massive puncture damage to the enemy, and even more so to enemies with puncture based weaknesses. What if Excalibur were to be more creative with this ability?

The concept is to not be too difficult and place quiver-like choices to one ability of each warframe; particular powers of each warframe that has the potential of evolving and capable of sharing stats.

Excalibur’s radial abilities.

Radial slash

Excalibur summons his exalted blade for a brief moment, slashing in multiple directions around him in a short distance.

Radial impact

Excalibur strikes the ground, giving impact damage and knocking down enemies around him.

Radial Javelin

Default

 

Another example: Ash’s shuriken

Kunai:

Ash throws fast moving, non-tracer, kunai giving puncture damage. Kunai also has punch though stats.

Bombs:

Ash throws weighted mini-bombs giving impact damage, knocking down enemies on direct hit.

Shuriken

Default

 

Rather than name every warframe and select an ability from each one in a day, id rather this concept to be a work in progress (WIP). If it were to become well noticed in the community, then of course with the help of the community, im sure we can come up with nice concepts for each warframe. =

Here are the rules.

Pick one power from your favorite warframe and how that power can be altered to two or three different powers. Make sure each one is believable and stays true to the warframes character. ULT abilities are to be left alone by fair game.

I am open to any ideas or opinions on this concept. Each section could be filled out, but I may need participation from the community to make the process a lot faster than it would be with just myself.

If you like this concept, please support by clicking the bottom right green arrow on the thread. Futher support by leaving a comment.

Fight on, Tenno!

I like Ash's quiver...Only problem is the already heavy workload DE has right now 

But who knows,this could happen in U20 which would be awesome

[voltocitygel]

Equinox doesn't really need one either, if you ask me. His form changes his abilities as is.

Limbo (WIP)

Limbo's would be pretty obvious.  Switch to determine who gets banished, you, friend, enemy, or aoe.  This would open up his 2 and 4 for better/different abilities.  

[Shuuro]

Chroma, delete his first ability.

First ability now allows you to switch between the 4 elements. Changing between elements will provide a small shock wave after a second of no more cycling, visually showing which element you've now chosen.

Hurrah. No more needing to ruin fashion frame because we're shoe horned into using certain elemental colors.

That's sounds nice

[GinKenshin]

well....I have a very different idea. no warframes, but Archwings...yeah you heard me, the Elytron to be specific. instead of it's 1st just firing an normal missile, how about a variety of missiles, like EMP, a net (like vauba's Bastille)....etc

i agree. i thought for it to be debatable at first but any more abilities and Equinox would be too difficult.

Possible, though I wouldn't remove it- just make it a hold to cast his first, tap to switch. Switch your energy color / element on the fly.

ive thought of a little something.

what if by switching to each element in elemental breath, all other abilities change with it.

per say, if you were to have ice equipped, all other abilities would become ice as well.

ill think moreover in the future.

i also love all of these suggestions.

in the future i would like to inform all who participate to not try so hard as to place stats to each ability.

you may do so if you wish, i just dont want each one to be difficult to balance.

 

all in all, im very thankful for all of the sudden support! when i have the time, more concepts will be added in each slot..

thank you!

[voltocitygel]

No problem. And chroma's color determines his other abilities affects as is, so why not just make his "quiver" an energy color switch on the fly, is what I was suggesting.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. This way we can use different elements for his 2 and 4 on the fly. Makes him more Diverse.

Could use a lightning element to get shields to charge armor for Vex armor. Then switch to Ice for tanking. Fire to heal allies. Toxin for when you have weapons that take forever to reload.

He has a huge as hell energy pool. Let's use it to the best of his ability.

[Rehtael7]

Why can't people just accept that the Quiver wheel is not a catch-all equation?

back by popular demand, Chroma has been added to the list along with an ability alter concept that will allow him to change elements during combat via quiver mechanic.
