How Sevagoth Became The Forgotten Warframe 

Support me directly via Patreon! www.patreon.com/NovaUmbral EDIT: NEKROS CANT HEAL SHADOWS APOLOGIES! but the equilibrium combo works Let me know what you think about Sevagoth! I hope this video shines some more light into our ghastly friend. Volt has won the poll results so he will be next, decide the next frame after volt by commenting down below! As always thank you for the continued support, much appreciated

His theme became so good, he actually turned into the forgotten warframe, suits his story perfectly.

I just built Sevagoth for the drip at first but then I discovered how good gloom is in other frames... the rest is history...

Fun fact about the augments, they gave every warframe an augment up until Sevagoth, then they skipped him and gave Yareli one, which was the next frame, so they literally skipped only him over here

I was beginning to believe that I was the only sevagoth main, and now I believe it .

When your best ability can be subsumed and you're a pain to build completely, it happens

immediately as I saw the title I remembered that one moment when sevagoth launched that I started to main him but that got thrown out the window within like 2 months and now he only acts as the useful subsume

One of my biggest gripes with Sevagoth is the need to forma 3 different items to fit everything on. You have to forma the frame, the shadow, AND the claws if you want to fully optimize him. The amount of leveling and forma required is insane and really highlighted the issue of building up exalted weapons. I don't know why you can't put a free forma onto them when you forma the frame itself.

Honestly i think he needs awesome augments, for example, an augment for his 4th that instead of you getting control of it, the shadow just goes behind you and attacks when you attack with melee, or something like that

I actually love Sevagoth.. he's got awesome survivability.. I think he'll come back with more skins and augments.

The worst bug I ever encountered as a Sevagoth main is the tendency of his shadow to not spawn when he's downed. The tombstone he's supposed to turn into doesn't appear either. Sevagoth just freezes helplessly in a constipated pose. How unreliable his passive is, however, doesn't make me adore him any less.

Umm, correction: Nekros's shadows don't heal from Gloom. Tested it multiple times. But Nekros with Despoil&Equilibrium combo does become immortal.

Sevegoth is also a forma devourer. To really squeeze the best out of all his kit, you're going to want like 3 forma on sevegoth, 3 on the shadow, and 3 on the claws. He just doesn't feel worth that many forma for the limitations he has, and the difficulty farming him. Sevegoth's first augment mod, if they ever give him one, should be one that lets the energy in his non equipped form, regenerate while in the other form. It became tedious to leave shadow, and then later return to shadow, and realize you've got like 5 energy and can't use any powers yet, or you swap back to sevegoth, and face the same problem. That would make him more appealing right there, because its easy to forget where an alt forms energy pool left off, while you're running around killing stuff in another form.

He is one of my favorite frames in the game I find his aesthetics and gameplay really fun and can’t wait for his prime or an augment to come out for my spooky boi

I absolutely loved Sevagoth when he was released, so much so that he’s still my number 1 most used frame even after months of not playing him. His design, theme and exalted form are all very cool and unique. He definitely has some good things going for him too being Gloom, his passive, and his extremely powerful shadow form/claws. The reason I stopped liking him so much is his performance. I just don’t like the way he wants to be built and I think other frames can both utilize Gloom better and accomplish tasks better. He wants heavy investment into strength but also needs at least a little bit of every other stat which really limits the builds imo. I always subsume off Sow because that’s his most useless ability, but there aren’t really any helminth ability synergies that he can do something new or special with. He’s also very energy hungry and even with arcane energize it can be hard to maintain. To be fair, the archon shard system and armor strip buffs have probably diversified his building a bit so I’ll have to revisit him some time. I would realllllly like to see Sevagoth get some augment mods because I think that could potentially bring something new and exciting for him.

Another note is that Sevagoth's shadow is unaffected by nullifier's bubble however if you're in shadow form and Sevagoth himself is in the nullifier's bubble it will kick you out of shadow form.

People be sleeping on Silence Sevagoth for REAL. 95% slow as the enemies do that “aaah I can’t hear” stun animation? It’s really damn good! Silence turns off a lot of Eximus Auras too, so it makes survivals even easier, and you have plenty of space to breath + use your Shadow!

These recent videos of yours are so, so amazing and enjoyable. I'm slightly new to Warframe and it's very interesting to me to learn about the little history of warframe releases and I was wondering why Sevagoth was basically unused not long before this upload. Keep up the good work!

I put 17 forma into my sevagoth. I love the theme and playstyle that much. I went from a combo build on his shadow to a heavy attack build. I pretty much play as a regular frame but switch to shadow for a quick kill on a heavy unit. I like him a lot on disruption missions or against acolytes.

I love Sevagoth, but not only he has 3 things requiring formas (claws, his clone and himself), but also he's not prime. I won't throw 20 formas into him just to repeat that process when prime version releses.

i noticed that the railjack quest can be done much faster now compared to months ago

Sevagoth is to me one of the most intresting and more complex frames in the game, also lore wise he is VERY intresting with his whole "I may be gods most edgy boy but I actually saved lives of many MANY people from voud stroms and hostile pirates out in space with my railjack, the Tempistari." And I like his quest was about putting him to rest. His kit is super duper cool but again its a little odd, Its like Baruuk but if instead of Baruuk getting to become a air bender instead he activates his four and Valkyr with good abilities just popped out and went ham. Also he suffers a lot from issue of most frames do his job with less setup, are easier to get and can feel more fun. Also having to play railjack for most people makes him a pain to get but I happen to LOVE railjack and even with all my time in Railjack I've barely actually seen his parts, he is kinda unnecessarily a pain to get. All in all, cool frame, Ima stick to Baruuk memes Edit: Sleeping in the cold below fucking SMACKS and the Tempistari skin SMACKS and also Gloom is good on everyone

I request you to cover my favorite frame the musical t-bag of doom

Reap and Sow shouldn't be separate abilities. One should be on tap, the other on hold. It feels like we've regressed all the way back to Ember's Accelerant days, the way one ability serves entirely to buff another. If Sevagoth could've had either a movement ability, or a tanking ability in that slot instead, he'd catch up to the meta.

He's my favorite frame and I've been playing for a number of years. The moment he came out I was hyped for his prime, and he's my new most commonly used frame just cause his theme and kit are fun.

We got voruna now and I use her more than him but he is fun to play and makes you feel powerful. The pain is to farm him so I can get his helminth and still have sevagoth.

Love to see Sevagoth getting some much-needed recognition, he's still my most used frame by a long shot simply by the fact that he's just extremely fun to use and pretty solid in early-to-mid game content Oh and fashion speaking he's one of the coolest frames out there so win-win

I have no idea how he’s not one of the most popular characters he immediately gave me the best vibes

I started watching and immediately liked for that opening. Just the editing put into matching with the beat told me I was about to watch quality content.

When Sevagoth first came out, I was super excited to try him, but at the time I didn't have Railjack and I was playing pretty slowly at the time so I never actually got him before I took a break from the game. Also I'd love a video about one of the trio of beginner Frames or Loki.

I love your vids NovaUmbral. I'm new to the game and mostly completing the star chart, questing, farming MR and early standing, and building cool shit I wanna try like Citrine. Anyways, I watch your videos a lot while I'm playing and although I don't understand everything you talk about in your vids, I have definitely already learned a lot

Ghs- oh what a nice vid, I should upload this to my channel tomorrow

Problem is, a lot of frames go largely ignored at this point, and that's not just because of how many options there are now, but because of how quickly they've been throwing them out. Until around 2018 or so, seeing a new frame be announced was an exciting occasion that got the whole community hyped over it, and it was always something that you could tell they put a lot of work and thought into. Nowadays, they just casually announce a frame on every other devstream, and generally have anywhere between 3 and 4 of them in development at once. Half the time, you can't even tell what the theme of the frame is even supposed to be, as they just throw seemingly randomly selected powers together, give it yet another super cluttered design, and call it a day. Warframes used to be developed with a quality over quantity mindset, and now it's the other way around. Sure, you'll still see the occasional new frame that's really unique and has good abilities, but for the most part what we usually get these days is just frames that either just do the same things the older frames already do and do better, or they do something unique that is so incredibly situational or impractical that nobody bothers trying to use it over the simpler and often more effective options the game offers. It really doesn't help either that they've been slowly making each new frame even more of a grind to obtain than the last, and most players aren't going to waste their time grinding for something that isn't even all that extraordinary. DE just needs to dial back on pumping out new warframes left and right, only adding one when they actually have a really good idea instead of trying to throw out something new whether they've got a good idea or not just for the sake of having a new frame to announce. Though, DE's commitment to prioritizing hype generation at all costs is something that negatively affects every aspect of this game, not just the warframes, and it has for years now.

Sevagoth: What is my purpose? Tenno: To subsume Gloom. Sevagoth: (looks around) Oh my god…

After having watched more of the video you have earned my sub. I've played one and off since the closed alphas and this video was very well put together.

Dude. I love your videos, as a player who has played for almost 7 years your Mesa video really took me back to the past.

I actually used him nearly non-stop for months when he came out. And then DE decided to make Eximus' units imune to CC, meaning alot less survivability and damage for the Shadow as he can no longer yoink them into melee range and 1-shot them.

Ngl I think Sevagoth is an excellent frame. His damage output is great and his abilities work together perfectly. That and he looks so awesome as well. Now yes better frames exist (Xaku main here) but the effort is worth it IMO just for the fun factor.

I still love Sevagoth tbh. His drip was my first reason to get him but his theme execution, kit complexity and duality of semi-support (Sevagoth's Gloom) and damage (Shadow + Claws) just fits what I didn't know I was looking for. The obvious gripe would be having to forma Sevagoth himself, his Shadow and the Claws to optimize everything though.

Found your channel 2 days ago and i have watched all your warframe videos. Love the content, even though i don't play warframe anymore. Keep it up man.

Sevagoth is good, but the thing is, he is just outshined by other warframes, especially those that profit from his Gloom.

As someone who had his main’s playstyle changed so many times, I could see Gloom getting nerfed or tweeked. But I feel if they made some drastic change to Gloom, there will be people rioting

love these videos, warframe documentaries hell yeah

Great video! Keep up!👍🏻

I would happily main him as his design is already so cool and the lore and all but one thing that discourages me is the nature of the helminth system as consumed warframes are gone gone plus knowing that every warframe will have its prime variant with no exception as we saw with Valkyr and Nidus, we cannot transfer forma not even reactors from non-prime to prime variants (not that I'm asking to) but I'm just not gonna put in the effort to build him now when a better variant is confirmed in what 2 years, maybe I am the problem but that's how I see it, the farming is fine at least for me, I have enough parts to build what 3 sevagoths bc I sometimes do skirmish void storms to farm intrinsics, I do use some non-primed warframes(mainly Lavos and Wisp) but with minimum effort so a reactor is all they get, I think one more thing that helped discouraging people from using Sevagoth is the fact that he doesn't have any aura polarity as that's basically a mandatory forma sry for any grammatical errors btw, english is my 3rd language and I'm still learning

I love your editing! and about sevagothic-boy. for me it is insane forma sink. I dont wanna spend so much time and resources and then just sell it for credits when prime will come. (even though I have enough forma in my inventory I dont have that much time). but in the future, I will try to learn how to play him. I guess.

Finally, only took four years but I found a Warframe video with Sonic music

I forgot about Caliban way faster than Sevagoth

Thought you should know that grind hard squad just pretty much copied your video.

Man, one of my favorites Warframes, and one of my favorites Cyberspace Music as well

lmao just found your video about how sevagoth is underrated, I just got him right after I finished the tempestarii quest and looked up on how to use him

I genuinely forget all the time that gloom isnt Garudas ability, it just fits her way too well....

I think if Sevagoth got a couple of good augments for his 1,2, or 4th that could really help him out.

1:07 I have to wonder if you said that knowing about the "sevagoth's shadow appears behind the arsenal if you look at a sevagoth link" glitch when he first came out

I agree. The Sevagoth is a under used frame (and gloom is over used ability). Two builds that I like to run are a Breach Surge, Reap and Sow nuke build ( %based damage creating damage multiplied sparks hiting -DR targets is nice. ) and a Nourish + Gloom stun lock build. (Used to be Piecing Roar but Nourish does similar and has increased energy management)

requires too much investment to get good and even then he is just mediocre

As an Inaros main, that flicker of him near the end hit hard.

i dont even play warframe anymore and i still watch your videos

Dude, how do you have only this much sub?You deserve a lot more.❤ Keep up the good work😁

hey this was pretty good! you should do caliban next, he looks like a pretty cool frame but is like never used

17:30 best titan theme, great taste

My spooky boi, my absolute favorite Warframe I definitely agree with most of the buff ideas I think when (not if) subsume gloom gets nerfed Sev will be in a better spot, some cosmetics would also help Also for newer Sev players, out rolling guard on the shadow it makes surviving easier, and make the passive guaranteed revives as long as there are enemies around

Every time I see a Sevagoth video it makes me wanna play Warframe again. And then I open up the star chart and it all comes flooding back to me…

Sleeping in the cold below is a banger though

I haven't forgotten, just have to catch up on lore quests to get his BP.

I leveled Sevagoth and never really struggled playing him in the content but... I absolutely have never understood what his kit was all about. I never "got" him. So very grateful for this particular vid!

I'm a (Wraith) Sevagoth main, got 33% usage and 150m experience on him. Main reasons I play him are for the edginess but I also like being able to build his base form and ghost form differently. I build his base form for the max gloom slow of 95% and his ghost form for range and duration. A cool thing to note is that the archon shards put on his base form also affect his ghost form. I think if DE nerfed the gloom subsume ability to take away either the slow or heal, sevagoth may become more popular.

The soundtrack for his quest was fire tho

I completely forgot about nyx till I saw 1 person in hydronic using them

You inspired me to craft 2 sevagoths, one to use and onr the subsume

As a Garuda main I'm really interested in Sevagoth who will soon become my second main

Sevagoth has been my main since he came out, wasn't aware everyone forgot about my boi

I want sevagoth but god the fact its behind railjack is going to be a pain to grind yhe quest for was my favorite out side of the second dream and new war tho

I would argue Void Storms are one of the most rewarding farms in the game. It gives relics, void traces, keys for tenant weapons, cracks relics, and a warframe part.

i think you can benefit from the gladiator's set in the shadow if you have them equiped in your standart melee

Im using him, one of my mosted used warframe. And to your reasons ill also point out high upgrde cost because you need to forma him, shadow and claws

Can't wait for you to review my favorite Warframe that no one plays - Octavia! She's so fucking busted and yet there's barely anyone running her. Oh, and she has the best Tennogen skin that turns her basically into Hatsune Miku.

as soon as i saw that you need Railjack to farm him its all it took for me to forget him

This video sold me. Bought Sev, and it was absolutely worth it. Cannon fodder is just food for the well with extra steps, and his shadow can be a get out of trouble free card on a regular basis.

Hydroid: I'm the pirate warframe. Sevagoth: I'm the biggest bird.

I still main him ever since Liger even made the concept art all those years before he came to the game i've wanted it and when I finally got it I didn't take him off for like a couple months

Sevagoth was the first frame I ever crafted seeing as I got all of his blueprints first before any other frame so even with him being forgotten I still main him seeing as he was the first I ever had(excluding the very first frame you pick at the start of the game)

i remember getting hyped for him bc his gloom slightly looked like law's bubble LOL. well now it use his gloom on my limbo prime its kinda good.

There can only be one Jotaro at any given time.

I legit forgot about this warframe until i saw this vid XD

To be fair, I also don't see a lot of Gyre either since Styanax dropped

I use him with Silence on his 4th specifically for leveling gear. Silence + gloom are great in Sanctuary Onslaught when you just forma’d your weapon.

I think I remember reading somewhere that the gladiator DOES work, *if* it is bult up on sevagoth himself rather than his shadow. I haven't tested it myself yet though. It's also in the realm of "probably unintended behavior that's been around forever but could be patched out at any second"

When asked “drip or drown” sevagoth really chose both drip and drown

I didn't forget about my boy 🤟🏾🙏🏾

Sev has become my main since his release. Je was strong before, now after his augment, he is a force. On demand red crits and vulnerability, aoe cc and heal, subsumed dispensary for just reliable energy and ammo, and Shadow the Eximus delete button. I use incarnon boar, it does low damage, but once I use reap, damage spikes ridiculously, slash procs delete steel path enemies with 1-2 pellets.

My poor boy i still love him and refusr to subsume this awesome frame

So in short he’s one of the most sought-after warframes, but only for mastery fodder before being fed into the helminth woodchipper so he never sees use.

UPDATE 3:53 Railjack parts now take 2 min to craft. Rising tide only took me about half an hour a few days ago. And that was counting two game crashes

3:14 I couldn't agree more I hate that I barely use most of my warframes that took me hours to get. Even though I'm a veteran player I still found picking up new warframes challenging.

Haven't played him yet, but it would be cool if when you use his ultimate, if you hold the cast button down, it shoots the shadow forward and pulls all near by enemies with him until you release the cast button to help clear the area before he starts slashing away.

I remembered today it existed and came here

Literally never heard of this guy and I've been playing since saryn prime first came out lol

Sevagoth: “You don’t really want me, you just want me for my Gloom.” 🎶

As an Inaros main, I cry every day.
