• The boulder will roll on the ground till it hits a wall.
• Enemies in it's path will be knocked down, and crushed.
• The boulder can be damaged and destroyed. (100% more damage from heat)
• If the boulder impacts a Rime Golem Chunk, it will be picked up, and a Rime Golem will pop out of the boulder after it explodes.
• If the boulder impacts an Rime Golem, the Rime golem will eat it, and it's health and armor will be fully restored.
• If Rime Breath is cast on Rime Boulder, the boulder gains ice spikes, and puncture damage.

• When the Rime Boulder hits a wall or is destroyed,
• 1/2/3/4 smaller boulders will replace it, and roll in different directions.
• These smaller boulders are 5/10/15/20% as effective as the normal sized one.
• (5/10/15/20%, meaning, if the normal one would deal 900 damage, the smaller ones deal 180)

Sorry for the last comment!

I though you were saying I spelled it wrong.

[MysticalOctopus]

Durandal, do you just like spend all day making these?

 

That aside, I really like this frame. The passive is a really unique idea, well done.

[SpoonyBrad]

I also quite like the concept (and the proposed passive and its synergy with an active ability? That is, as we say, "gangster"), and my wife might quite literally kill to get her hands on a Hrimthursar frame. Well done, fellow Tenno.

Warframe is my hobby, making concepts for Warframe is my passion. I got like, 15 warframe concepts right now.
Thank you very much, i'm glad you like it :D

That title tho...

Ice Warrior that can also deal Toxin damage...hmm...

And I want to add in a negligible comment that we already ha an Ice Warrior.

Energy Capacity should really be buffed. He seems like a caster tank.

Additionally, he should probably sport at least minor shields.

Passive is way too convoluted to be a passive only. Seems more like an ability.

Rime Breath is alright. Nothing much to say on it. 

Rime Skin is pretty counter-intuitive, as you are sacrificing health for damage reduction, but the point of the ability is to keep yourself alive. Also seems a bit to much like another Iron Skin.

Rime Boulder isn't necessarily worth casting (similar to Mesa's Ballistic Battery), although it does have minor use. Maybe switch this ability out for the Rimelings passive.

Rime Storm is pretty cool. Nice job.

Overall, some tweaks are needed for this concept. Also, why is this the only Frame that can straight up negate the entire concept of the Nullifier. Pretty okay, I guess.

One of something is never enough.

Only his first power actually uses energy, everything else costs armor, health, or both.

Isn't 500 armor like, 80% damage resistance?
I guess he can have a small amount of shield on top of that, seems a little op though.

It is pretty complicated compared to stuff like, 50% longer wall hanging, or silent weapons.
If fit's his lore though, I could remove the count down to becoming a Rime Golem,
and make it so the only way to make a Rime Golem is to roll up Rime Chunks in a Rime Boulder.

It doesn't just increase max armor, it repairs damaged armor, makes him immune to cold damage,
and converts all cold procs into another repair armor, or increase max armor if his armor was already at 100% condition.
In what way would you make Rime Skin more unique to him?

You think Ballistic Battery is not worth casting?
It can literally make any weapon a One-Hit-Killer, adding an extra flat damage increase on-top of any weapon's damage.
Base 100% power strength adds 1600 damage to your next shot with any weapon.
Have a weapon that only does 1 damage? Now it does 1601 damage, but only for the next shot.
Not only that, but the elimental damage of your weapon mods will increas based on the extra damage.
So if you have +100% Extra Fire damage, that +1600 dmg with add another +1600 Fire damage.

But overall, Rime Boulder is his "worst" power.
What would you do to make it better?

Thanks, Rime Storm is what I wish Frost's ult was.

He still can't cast powers when inside a Nullifier's shield,
but a Nulifier can't negate/disable the powers that are already active.

Thank you for your time and interest.
If you have any more ideas, please share.

Yeah, I'll come back to this topic in a bit. It's actually pretty cool and I'll put in more feeback.

I've got a suggestion; maybe you could rename a few so that not all of the abilities have the word rime in them, I don't have much a  problem with it but there are some people out there who might. (I'm not too good with names) For Rime Skin you could change it to Winter Skin and for Rime Boulder you could change it to Glacial Shard, and with Rime Storm you could change it to Arctic Gale, I think your first ability name is fine. But that's just what I think. I really like this concept though, it's very well thought out.

Looks interesting.... however, instead of creating a toxin cloud with his passive, perhaps a cloud of freezing vapor? Deals cold damage per second and slows... would be a pretty good CC ability

It would be, but then it wouldn't be Mythologically accurate.

Quote

Gangleri asks the three what things were like before mankind. High continues that these icy rivers, which are called Élivágar, ran so far from their spring source that the poisonous matter that flows with them became hard "like the clinker that comes from a furnace"—it turned to ice. And so, when this ice came to a halt and stopped flowing, the vapor that rose up from the poison went in the same direction and froze to rime. This rime increased, layer upon layer, across Ginnungagap.[14]

He is the Rime Lord, and his Rime is special, it's frozen poison.
Synonyms for Rime are, freeze, frost, hoar, hoarfrost, and ice.
Synonyms for Hoarfrost add, blight, gelid, gelidity, gelidness, drop, dip and Jack Frost.

So I can use these words to come up with new names for the powers.
I can also use the Norse words for them.

So,
Frost is Hrím or Rimée
Cold is Kaldr or Svalr.
Freeze is Frjósa.
Kala is to become colder.
Skamm-degi means short winter day.
Vetrar-dagr means winter day.
Galetaer means to shiver with cold.

The Rime he's made out of is frozen poison, when it melts that poison is released.
You can read the Myth about him if you want to learn about it.
Frost already has an AoE freeze ability though, and it works better, and is modifiable.
Passives aren't modifiable.
