No. That "If I want to do X I will bring Y frame" argument has no substance. People compare frames as if they have 1 power and nothing else. If you to critscise something, look at everything instead of 1 and going with that. By your lógic, because I havê Trinity I dont need to use Harrow, Oberon, Nezha, Inatos, who all havê powers that heal. But they do just that, do they? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say 2 does feel a little redundant with 4 and just a single whip is quite a lazy 'fix' to the damage type issue, they could have made it so it did different elemental combo damages, corrosive, radiation, magnetic and blast, there are 4 'whips' on her back after all. Mind you I'm holding off on full judgement of the kit until it's released, especially her 3 as it seemed like the kavat was darting around everywhere during the devstream and obviously without another player we can't really judge it's full kit. The thing is other than the kavat 'gimmick' several other frames do everything else she does, potentially better too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people aren't happy with her kit, but it's nothing that can't be changed later on. as a new frame she's still heavily subject to change post-release, and there could be some interesting hidden synergies between her skills that we don't know about yet. best to wait until we can get her before passing judgement.

SilverRook Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I'd like to see her 1 change to a tap/hold ability tapping it would lash out doing normal physical attack Holding would lasso and enemy causing it to bleed - longer time held bleed scales. Releasing would either drag enemy towards you if they had enough remaining health, for you to finish off at close range. Or if they had less than 50% of their total HP pool, releasing would snap the whip back triggering a different animation causing the enemy to gib; essentially tearing the enemy in half.

Oreades Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I'm not really sure where to post this because it is mostly a question but I'm not sure if it has been covered sufficiently as so anyone outside the devteam can answer it. It's also sorta kinda conditional pre-feedback, if that makes any sense? How exactly does Venari Work? Is Venari a channeled ability? Is Venari a timed/recast ability? Is Venari a summon till she dies and then recast her ability? Personally I'm kinda hoping it's the last one. As someone who gravitates towards pet classes... the one thing I really don't enjoy are "pet classes" that make you micromanage a bunch of pet timers. I suppose Venari being a channeled ability would also be OK assuming that she couldn't die as long as you where channeling her. That said I think the most we know about Venari is that shie is Khoras 3 and has a few different modes, I assume kinda like Ivaras Quiver? But as far as I am aware we have no clue how her summon functions mechanically and I'm really curious about how Khoras summoning of Venari is going to function.

Aside from that, looks great. Always wanted a frame with hard CC, team support, a way to group up enemies, and a disarm. Only Loki and Nyx have disarm currently as frame abilities. Surprised they're making a frame with all these things and honestly I'm pretty stoked. Harrow is rolling his eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zandermanith222 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Woulda been nice to see the ability UI, but it was cleverly covered up by the Dev team camera~ I'm hoping it'll be a "Summon till she dies" kinda scenario, but I have a feeling DE isn't that kind. I'm personally okay with a Duration over channeling, as I'd like to utilize Khora's main gimmick at all times without dealing with constantly draining energy. As besides Venari, I don't find Khora particularly special. Which is fair I suppose, since she had her other main gimmick (IPS Utilization) stripped away. Quite certain mode switching happens like Ivara's Quiver, and can probably be switched on the fly while Venari is out, which'll be pretty neat.

Oreades Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Actually the more I think about it the fact that Venari had health/shields is kinda concerning and makes any of those possibilities problematic. Largely because we also don't know how she is going to scale? And if enemies are able to essentially one shot her the second she is summoned, she becomes a literal dead ability. At which point Khora essentially just has no 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially thought the same thing about Gara. It's just a resistance Zephyr with a wall instead of moving air. In actual use, she's much, much more and has rapidly become a favorite and a go-to warframe. At first blush, Khora looks like a Saryn, but with CC instead of a pandemic (more like an old-skool Saryn than the present one). She also essentially packs a second sentinel with what looks like some of the basic sentinel uses (offense, defense, support). Perhaps most importantly, she looks good. Really good. That's enough reason to farm her up and see what she can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurderMurderMurder Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Since it pretty much looks like an AoE cat's cradle... and Khora is cat/kavat themed.... how about calling it Kavat's Cradle. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azamagon Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 As far as I can see, Khora is basicly our metalspider-frame, along with being a catsummoner. Her 1st (Phase Lash) is a lash with her whip. This fits the metalspider theme well (using the metallical web as a direct weapon) Her 2nd (Ensnare) groups up enemies with metal wires, kinda of liking having an automated cocoon. Also fits the metalspider theme very well. Her 3rd (Call Venari) summons a metal cat. A cat is a bit of an odd choice to summon considering her theme, I would've preferred it to be a spiderlike summon, but I can see why that would be a bad idea (not scaring people with Arachnophobia), so I don't mind. At least, being a spider-esque frame, having a summon is at least very fitting. Her 4th (Strangledome) went from an exalted whip to a metalwire dome. Honestly, either one works fine by me, as they both fit that spiderlike theme. But if anything, I'm probably more happy with the dome-choice (if they can make it do something more unique rather than just being another CC similar to her #2), because If they had went with her exalted whip, her #1 could/would probably have been a possible waste / underused ability (similar to Wukong's Iron Jab and Primal Fury). With this rework she got, she gets to both have a whip (although not in an exalted form) AND a spiderweb-like dome. To me it's win-win :D Onto suggestions: Strangledome - Now... onto what the dome COULD be doing uniquely (considering it seemingly didn't really DO anything on the preview). How about: The dome's inside is filled with web-like razorwires (DoT and slow to all enemies who go inside?), and enemies can't see into the dome from the outside (i.e. it breaks their line of sight), meaning they have to get inside the dome to see and target Khora and her allies that might be inside / past the dome. Pseudo-invisibility, if you will. This would work well with her melee nature'd #1 and could pair extremely well with her #2's CC-nature. Not to mention, having a web-lair-like dome ties up real nicely to the spider-esque theme. How it'd synergize with her summon though, I dunno (maybe the dome heals allies and their sidekicks inside the dome? Defensive/Support-mode Venari causes it to remain inside the dome, if Khora is inside as well?), but I feel that the above suggestion would still have more uniqueness-potential than just being another (rather odd) CC-skill. Phase Lash - A problem seen with Gara's #1 holdcast and with Wukong's #1 as well, despite being meleerange abilities: Can we NOT have these abilities stop our movement? It doesn't have to be onehanded, but at least allow us to move and cast at the same time. Passive - I dunno what passive ability DE have in mind for her, but on a spider-oriented frame I've always liked the idea of something like invisibility while wallclinging/wallrunning.
