New Warframe Ideas

[JeroenC74]

Hello and thank you for reading.

 

I was thinking of what warframes could be next, useful and an addition to the game we all love to play nowadays.

The first I came up with is a more supportive variant of Rhino, Rhino is great and buffy tank but seems like; "I'm buffed up and ready to slash everything to bits around me.", a tank is useful to a team if he aggros everything no doubt about that, I was thinking of an even more team-based tank.

A 'guardian' that uses a shield for a weapon (!possibly introducing shields as a new weapon available to warframes!) and uses powers that emit from his shield that will shield his allies to in contrary to Trinity that supports by healing, this 'guardian' is all about protecting by shielding his allies.

 

Second I thought of nano bots as a legit way of introducing the use of insects as a power within warframe.

Insects you see in nature have shells made of...whatever but nano bot-bugs are the same but just tiny robots that act like insects.

A warframe like that could really have a new way of damaging opponents, sending a swarm to chew away at enemies to kill them or maybe sap away an enemy's shield while the owner gains that amount of shield, interesting stuff like that.

A massive swarm of bugs that devour an entire mob of enemies sounds like a great power to me.

Rhino is a tank?

I think I like where this is going, a support tank style of role.

 

Instead of making the shield a weapon, make it exclusive to the frame, remove the primary weapon slot for the shield, secondary would logically be a single pistol, since it would be pretty hard to do dual pistols while carrying a shield.

 

But that would raise the point of melee, unless you have the shield as your melee weapon, none of the others would really work properly.

 

A possible ability set:

 

Shield Power: restores allied shields by 40%/55%/70% up to a 120% of shields (So the shields can be overcharged by 20%) (35 energy)

Barrier: Drops a shield barrier for allies to take cover behind that lasts for 30/40/50 seconds(35 energy)

Iron Shoes: Team is unable to get staggered or knocked down for 15/25/35 seconds (50 energy)

Radial Blast: Same at the Radial Blast that used to be on the Rhino (100 energy (to bring it into line with all the other Ultimates))

 

The first three are ones I have come up with and I believe that they are good support powers.

 

As for the frame stats, being a heavy frame, I would envision that it would share the same stats as Rhino and Frost.

Hmm first skill sounds ok but it's mag shield polarize in certain.   //may be replaced by taunt which atracts all nearby enemies to him//

second brings me thoughts of frost globe or volt shield

iron shoes - like it (i would even add some minor toxic and disrupt protection)

radial blast - yep, nothing creative, but ATM it looks like every frame needs to have some AoE massive damage stuff for ultimate.

Sounds good but restoring the shield sounds like trinity again, I was thinking of having either an extra shield buff or some sort of dmg reduction for nearby friendlies (it being the first/ spammable skill it shouldn't AoE the whole team across the map), maybe if allies have lost their shields they regain like 50% as an addition to dmg reduction, could work.

 

But yeah exactly! shield as a weapon and it being warframe bound sounds good but I'm not sure if they would allow that to be put in, other warframes getting jeally and what not.

The shield could be the primary that has melee capabilities that mainly knock enemies down if you bash them with it but removing the primary is also just, ouch..... Warframe should have a third slot for melee if you ask me, aside from only having the melee button so that you can also just draw your melee when you want to, and MB1 and MB2 maybe different types of attacks, opens up more possibilities....

 

Either bacon, glad to hear someone likes my idea :)

 

All four skills sound great, apart from the first being more of a shield 'healer' like I stated, I would change the ultimate though, was thinking of making the team invulnerable but immobilize everyone affected aswell, like the team enters the shield 'stance' and sacrifices movement for ultimate protection, and as ultimate it would have a nice AoE effect ofc.

I would call the skill Wall of Unity, or something :P

 

I just think this game could use another tank based warframe, and this one would excell at protecting while defending and would really lack at fast pace combat as a heavy shield makes you heavier than some shiny-thin blades on your back. 

And I would love the look of having a warframe carrying a shield+sword like a knight, knowing Warframe they could make the coolest skins for shields :) 

 

As for the nano-bug user, what do you guys think? does it sound too far fetched to use such powers or would it kind of fit in warframe since you'll be using tiny >robots< anyway?
