Fulgie Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 What are the exact limitations for skywings in PoE? Are you telling me that I can use my all Archwing abilities in there? can I just press 3 and watch grineer get bombarded or just press 4 and nuke an entire camp?

Basically anything from Archwing will work in the Plains. As far as I've seen, I don't think Archwing weapons are actually used in the Plains, since Arch-weapons are designed for space combat. The Skywings are fully combat ready, and we are allowed to use them at any time. (I think there is a time limitation on them however, so you don't stay in SkyWing mode for too long. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing really.) But yes, you can launch a barrage of missiles at Grineer on the ground with the Odonata, and you can nuke them with the Elytron if you want to as well. ;D It's going to be super fun.

-N7-Leonhart Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I don't see why not. After all, the Archwing powers are not that strong, even against the normal level enemies. Ahh, but I can definitely see all the threads with "Buff the Archwing mods". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrisDragoon Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 i wonder what will happen if i spam Itzal's Cosmic Crush in plains. will enemies ragdoll when i cast it? or will they stay standing up as they are teleported in front of me and shoot me point-blank forcing me out of archwing... hmmm...

Midrib Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Me and my clan mates were discussing this just yesterday, specifically Elytron's Warhead and Thumper, Considering Thumper with maxed ability range can get to 288 meters and Warhead can get up to 384 meters. while Archwing abilities might not hit like a truck, it still can cover a pretty massive area, specially for abilities like cosmic crush that can get up to 224 meters with mods like Cold snap it can potentially break PoE.

Well your Arch Wing is vary frail from the previews I've seen. Grineer and or their ships can shoot you out of the sky vary easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0Despair0o Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Far as I can tell from what was shown in multiple streams: -There's no time limit for Skywing, but it`s quite fragile. Although I'm sure a maxed out Elytron *evil laugh intensifies* can stay up there for a while. -You can use all your Wing abilities like usual, but no Arch weapons because they're too heavy. Instead you'll be using your normal weapons. (Elytron + Lenz...oh boy) -Controls have been reworked a bit for use in the Plains to make using it easier. -Altitude limit is fairly high. And before anyone else starts complaining "but that will be overpowered", no, even a maxed out Elytron can't really one-hit kill anything above level 40. The Wings can cause damage in a large area, but don't hit like a truck. Although I am curious how Elytron's 3 will look like in PoE. Fire it at the Eidolons and watch it burn?

The invulnerability and heal are kinda moot, since you will have very limited time use for the Archwing anyway. They will not allow us to cheese the stuff from air forever. Mainly, it will be a fast travel device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have officially coined the term that will now be used by the entire community to describe archwing in PoE: SKYWING. With that being said, we will be able to use all archwing powers while in skywing mode, but we will not be able to employ archwing weapons. Instead, we will use our own regular weapons. I don't know how melee in skywing will work though, or if we will be limited to using only our primary weapons in skywing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)watt4hem Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Considering we use normal weapons, i thijk itzal with penumbra and a silent weapon would be eally powerful if left as is. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryim_Drykeon Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 There's an interesting thought....high altitude bow shots. If directly over a target will the arrow 'fall off', or simply go in a straight line down (with slight deviation for wind etc). Lenz from orbit, lol. (yeah, I know there's a ceiling. Just love the thought) Hell, a high fire explosive weapon will be like artillery. So many possibilities.... Hikou Prime with blast, viral, and gas procs.....chemical carpet bombing... Ummm...On topic..The limitations I know of are that there is a height ceiling, You can not use AW weapons, and, I believe, you need to craft charges to call your Skywing (sort of like air charges for your liset abilities). Also, obviously, you can not use your Warframe abilities while using Skywing. (which is sad, I'd personally rather use Warframe abilities than Archwing).

Culaio Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I remember DE mentioning possibility of archwing in PoE being somehow time limited, by "fuel" or something like that. I am very disappointed about the fact that we cant use archwing weapons in PoE, I mean there is barely any place where we can use thsoe weapons and PoE would be perfect place where we could use them, of course if they were too powerful, DE could somehow limit them, for example by making archwing guns need ammo(instead of having regenerating ammo) which could be more rare then normal ammo and there is no reason to nerf archwing melee, it isnt really strong then normal melee weapons.
