Warframe Concept - Devia - The Glutton

[ganjou234]

"A strange and erratic Warframe. Further examination shows a strange and a significantly older Black Blight coursing along its veins, it seems to predate even the Warframe itself."

 

Probably looks something like this.....

Devia is initially a vulnerable and soft Warframe that continuously grows as it consumes its enemies, gaining strength in the process.

Bump.

 

Any feedback would be great.

I'm considering renaming it since Devia sounds like a "female" frame....

[(XBOX)FrenziedGlint00]

I'm feeling a Blacklight vibe from it, or is it just me.

[(PSN)Frost_Nephilim]

Eh, i dont know 😕 the frame doesnt stand out to me anymore after nidus. I would have loved using claws but garuda has some monster ones coming so yea, i feel like most of the fun this warframe would have is already in game so its just not something id want.

Prototype is a good game indeed tho, but nidus got here to quick

Yeah, it's an intended overlap. I usually prefer warframes that can tank w/o resorting to an invulnerability mechanic, so this is my idea/concept on how to make a frame that is capable of that.

[(PSN)MageVSGames]

Hehehe I recognised that concept art immediately. 

Ok but my actual thoughts. I love the concept mainly because I lived the Prototype series but it's also executed incredibly well. There is some overlap with Nidus but I personally view it as something like this.

Nidus gets more powerful as the mission goes and gains more survivability as a result. Devia gains more survivability as the mission goes on and becomes more powerful as a result.
