(PSN)IIXNine Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Who do you think is more fun and essential to use in defense missions Limbo? or Frost. I personally use Limbo because I can damage enemies when they come through the cataclysm and because it's based on duration. Frost is just boring in my opinion.

AzoreanEve Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Frost because it will allow your team to help gun down enemies before they reach the pod. Defense is, after all, a glorified exterminate mission. The sooner you kill them, the faster you progress. On MDs with people that I know and said they will be basically just casting abilities I do bring Limbo. Otherwise it's Frost to avoid confusion and prevent ppl from sitting there feeling like they are doing nothing. Edit: sortie defenses are another story tho. Limbo all the way.

yles9056 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It depends on the situation. But Frost is much more ally-friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xion Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I prefer Frost, because I value his CC a lot. I usually only bring Limbo for infested defenses. I really like Volt though, especially for Grineer defenses. His shield blocks radial damage from Bombard rockets that always end up killing people in Frost bubbles.

Jangkrik Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Frost is easier to use in defense missions as it is very hard to use Limbo without disrupting the team in defense missions (unless it's operative defense, then I'd say that Limbo is better).

CherryPauper Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) You can't shoot at enemies outside Limbo's globe while inside it. You can with Frost's globe. Limbo's globe is duration-based which is good in terms of scalability, but Frost can spam globe with a few seconds of invulnerability and then keep spamming (effective with a Trin) while constantly pushing enemies away. Also, Limbo's cast time for Cataclysm is too slow even with Natural Talent. He has to press 4 to get rid of the decaying globe and then 4 again to recast while the defense objective takes damage. Being inside Limbo's globe makes me want to die. My eyes. Please send help. Limbo cannot protect a defense target that cannot be banished while Frost can spam his 3 to keep them far away and frozen. Frost's globe slows enemies down and the augment offers a 50% chance to stop them for a few seconds. Frost can mass freeze large squads of enemies with his 4 and then keep them frozen for extended periods of time. Overall, I feel that Frost is way better in terms of defense. However, I always pick Limbo for sortie defense. That is a different story. Edited March 19, 2017 by CherryPauper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiancaRoughfin Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Sorry if i prefer neither of them. Zephyr can be a Defender too with her Turbulence which protects allies within its area completely without preventing them from shooting through. Only risk she may have is with Bombards/Napalms and Scorches because the Bombards and Napalm's projectile at high level have very large AoE and Scorches's attacks can go through her Turbulence just as it does with Frost's Snowglobe.

Duavey Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Frost for fixed objectives, Limbo for NPCs. Zephyr and Volt for hipsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IroncladBomber Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Vauban is the King of Defense, Frost comes second. Combined with an EV Trin, and a Damage Frame, you don't have to worry about the Objective, ever. I find most Limbo players to be annoying, though frosts who cast their snow glove everywhere are also annoying. If you can't Shoot enemies easily because there is a bubble blocking it. I build Frost for Snow Globe and Avalanche Armor Strip. Makes short work of any High Level Grinner or Armored Corpus Units (Bursa). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelshark Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I prefer god ol' frosty. He doesn't just have his globe but his three other abilities offer good cc as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeoxz Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 If you know your teammates know how Limbo works, Limbo all the way. Also sorties. In public, however, the safe assumption is they don't, so Frost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echorion Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Frost. No contest. Limbo is better for a few more niche uses such as protecting a wandering NPC defense objective; but general defense purposes Frost is better.

(PSN)hahajake Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Frost's globe is awful and irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 out of those two, I pick Frost, but I know that limbo is very good as well when played right. he's very useful in Sortie Defenses and Rescues. very eager to see how he performs once his Rework is done!

aligatorno Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Frost is far from being boring honestly. If you only use his Globe, that's pretty much on you, Icewave and Avalanche are amazing abilities if used correctly. Frost is leagues above Limbo as far as team synergy/ convenience goes. Globe for protection, Icewave + Augment and Avalanche for CC. Add Avalanche's augment as well and you`ll be protecting everyone from status effects as well. So no more knockdowns and other annoying things like that Limbos shines more than Frost when an NPC is involved [ and Lua Spy, he's the king there. ] Edited March 19, 2017 by aligatorno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneforsaken Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Vauban>Frost>Limbo. Frost with Icy Avalanche agument is sweet. Limbo is good only vs air strike and some undogeable attacks. Like for sedna boss or the raptor. Personal biased opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakosta_Kai Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Depends on group composition and preferences... Frost and Vauban are more group friendly than Limbo imo. That said, if a group is comfortable with Limbo and the Limbo is being predictable, then Limbo works out just fine too. Sortie MD? A good Limbo is preferred but an Avalanche Frost can do the job as well. For my part, I detest Limbos in groups and typically won't stay in one long if an overzealous rift user is in the group. Frost, otoh, is the character that attracted me to the game years ago and has been my 2nd most played frame consistently. We can call Frost boring, but I view him as predicatable... He freezes things. Frozen things sit still Limbo, otoh, makes things not able to be interacted with...including other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
