Arakne, The Spider Frame

Arakne, the Spider Frame

 

This is Arakne. The Weaver, The Queen of Threads.

Arakne is a skilled with her silk, gracefully weaving her enemies their webs of fate.

Be wary of your surroundings, Tenno, in this world there are only the hunters and the hunted.

Before I start, what made me make this was this guy ---> 

So thanks to TheMightyJ225 for inspiring me :)

 

 

Abilities:

 

Passive - Silk Tailor: Arakne can aim while midair at any surface/wall and dodge roll to launch a silk thread, pulling her to the location. The range isn't too long, but this could be similar to a Valkyr Ripline, but only for mobility. 

 

1 - Bound: Arakne aims either at an enemy or terrain. If aimed at an enemy, she leaps onto that enemy, and performs a stab attack in front of her, using her 6 dormant arms. Aiming at a wall will launch her towards the wall, and instantly latches her onto the surface. 

 

2 - Predator: Arakne hones her 6 dormant arms, granting her the ability to traverse on walls that she normally wouldn't be able to run on. While on walls, her weapons gain critical chance and damage. Additionally, she creates an aura around her that jams nearby enemies' weapons with thread.

 

3 - Threads of Fate: Arakne targets an enemy, stunning them and forming a web around them, entangling nearby enemies. Spiders will soon start to walk across the webs, damaging trapped enemies. Killing an entangled enemy will restore Arakne's health and grant her bonus armor. Arakne can use her 1 - Bound on the web and immediately latch onto it, able to traverse on the web and instantly gaining a small armor and health regeneration buff. 

 

4 - Killer Instinct: Arakne activates her 6 dormant arms, dashing to a targeted enemy and performing a finisher with her arms. The moment she is done the animation, a flurry of 8 silk blades will burst out of the enemy, damaging all enemies that come in contact with it. These blades will then latch onto the ground and nearby surfaces. Enemies will be damaged, disarmed and bled whenever they come in contact with one of these silk blades. Arakne can use her 1 - Bound, to pounce onto one of these blades and create a stronger jab, bleeding and disarming enemies hit.

 

Augments:

 

1 - Reaping Bound: Bound will now heal for a percentage of damage dealt, along with a flat amount.

 

2 -  Seeker's Mark: Nearby allies are now also buffed, granting them the ability to traverse onto walls, along with gaining the crit chance and damage bonus.

 

3 - Web of Lies: Threads of Fate will now entangle and spread to nearby enemies, whenever a previously trapped enemy is killed.

 

4 - Weaver's Edge: The silk blades will create a battlefield, and whilst in it, Arakne and allies will gain bonus movement speed and critical chance (Arakne will gain more of these boosts), along with her exalted blades, (her 6 arms are transformed into blade-like weapons), which act as extra melee weapons - (Note: Even though this is an exalted weapon, Arakne will still be able to shoot, her blades will only assist her in melee combat, giving a chance of webbing enemies and spawning spiders on them which leeches health). 

 

 

Appearance:

 

Arakne's helmet would look similar to Hela, the Goddess of Death in the movie Thor: Ragnarok. Her body will have 6 spider-like arms, 3 on each side. The arms don't really do anything in battle (without abilities), but sometimes move around and create different formations. I would imagine it having good potential for fashion frame. 

 

Quest/Lore:

 

The quest to get this frame could be called the Queen's/Widow's Loom, presumably after beating War Within. It talks more about the Grineer Queens, mainly the first one, and on how this frame was designed after her. You get this quest from the Steel Meridian, and asks you to investigate an underground Grineer lab. How the story goes is that the Grineer found a way to clone the DNA of a spider and create a super human, or in this case, Grineer. After you kill the first Queen in the War Within, she gets cloned, yet again, into a spider/human Grineer form. The final boss is this, and once you beat it, you get the Arakne blueprint. 

 

Ending:

 

That's my idea for a new spider frame. Again, credits to TheMightyJ225 for giving me some inspiration and ideas. Enjoy ;)

Needs a way to be activated, tapping the sprint button while aurborne perhaps?

 

The rest i like ^_^

This frame should be an assassin, a stealthy killer, sets up traps using her Threads of Fate, and then pouncing on her enemy with her Bound. Silk Tailor gives her a lot of mobility, and would be used to get around places much. Seeker's Mark is a good combat tool, as you get more damage, but can also be used in stealth, as enemies won't be able to see you when you're hanging on a thread right above them.... And finally Weaver's Edge is an ability when you get overwhelmed, and just want everything to die...

That could work! (Edited the post so it includes that, thanks for the idea!)
