Warframe | The Strongest Warframe Got Better | Steel Path | 2024 

Hey! I apologize that some of the gameplay sections had no audio. I didn't realize my OBS wasn't picking anything up because I normally have it low anyways until I was doing SFX for the edits. Also, I had this weird issue with my voiceover on this video where any F sounds I made (there are a lot of them) have this reallyyyyy annoying hissing noise with my mic. I don't know if that's just me but I really couldn't figure out a way to fix it so I apologize if the voiceover sounded kinda bad. If you have any clue what I was experiencing (cause the internet didn't really help) or know how to remedy it... please let me know! Thank you for watching, appreciate yall lots ❤ - kyaii

Correction at 3:23 Overshields do not factor into the shield gate timer (it did in Update 34, but was patched afterwards). The shield gate timer would be around 3.35s with the shield grenade. Otherwise, great video.

Imagine if "cancelling" Anchor caused the location rewind, and letting it expire gives you the explosion at your current position...

I don't normally comment but I wanted to say that the quality of your content is really high. You're well spoken, you are educated about the build and its quirks (a lot of warframe RU-vidrs do not seem to be), and the editing makes the information very easy to learn. Great job! If I wasn't a broke college student, I would 100% be supporting on patreon.

They should have an augment for temporal anchor that only rewinds you if you died, but otherwise doesn't.

People just hate Temporal loop that much. They think anything related to it can be waved off.

I like the idea of using Protea's passive on subsumed Ophanim Eyes

Been waiting for this insane build video

I told my friend before the augment got announced that "the turret or turrets will probably be allowed to follow us around but let's be honest If that happened we would have a major monkeys paw situation" and indeed the paw curled

Superb editing and information as always! 💜 Shall be taking notes for my future works >

now thats some high quality content

Havent even watched the whole thing yet, but the editing is amazing, its awesome seeing you grow as a channel

That's a beautiful build right there The edit is looking great, everything cuts just right and the smoothness hits pretty hard. Keep going like this!

3:28 correction overshields do not effect the sheild gate duration.

Curious about the damage comparisons between: • The classic Roar build • This Temporal Anchor build • And a build with Orphanim Eyes over her 4, casted at her 100% Ability Strength Passive Edit: Reading up on the Orphanim Eyes ability. You can Tap-recast the ability before its Duration ends, and it will refresh the Duration. So, now I pose a question, if you're paying attention to the Duration, and you Tap-recast before the Duration ends, will it still keep the 100% Ability Strength bonus, from the original cast, without needing the Passive to be available again?

if only this augment had existed when i needed it xD Once again beautifully edited video champ. enjoy your summer!

Idk just don't like the augment cuz it forces me to engage with anchor, which I also do not like, probably will just stick to my old builds regardless of how good this may be

Your videos just get better and better

I usually run a mecha setup with the invis kubrow and temporal anchor and its absolutely ridiculous already, but I'm tempted to try your build for a more run n gun playstyle lol good shit!

Not a fan of this build. Heat status damage just got buffed because its armor stripping property is actually useful now. No need for the armor strip over just hitting the enemy with double dipped roar heat. This build just requires too much IMO. Sky high energy costs when using her 4 over say Roar, no flow, no dispensary, low range, high cast time with 4, and on top of that your turret damage is capped... Thankfully Protea can still get away with this because her 1 makes her basically immortal and damage is never an issue but I don't think this build is worth it at all and after trying it I think it makes one of the easiest, most chill and strongest frames, a hassle to play. So all in all, if compared to a simple Roar over 4 build, you have lower damage, less range, more difficult energy economy, animation time issues, less to provide for your squad (no dispensary and no roar!), just to not have to recast your 2. Idk chief it just doesn't sound good to me I want to recommend you some other hard-buffed build. Citrine can now use Health Conversion with Arcane Battery to become incredibly tanky and get more energy than with primed flow, meaning you can ditch flow. This frees a modslot (modslot > arcane for warframes tbh) so you can fit more strength or range. Also she is not held back by lacking armor strip anymore either, heat status builds on her are absolutely crazy with Roar. Plus Cold works well with her 4 to boost crit damage. That said cold crit boost is flat, I'm very disappointed but its still really good. Latron got a new shiny mod in Semi-Rifle Cannonade and its just perfect with Citrine. Ive tried using cold with Latron, Semi Rifle Cannonade and Primary Frostbite, its pretty potent but I'm not sure if it beats the old meta necessarily. The added 90% multishot feels amazing though (get incarnon in like a shot with all multishot mods) and with the semi rifle trigger changes the Latron has become my favorite. Also try Gara. That frame is broken. Finally not held back by armor anymore, its the start of a new age. I think Nova + Felarx might be worth revisiting too. Mirage is also very happy with armor changes!! Weapon platform build with total eclipse and hall of malevolence, with the Sporelacer or some other aoe weapon (even Synoid Simulor got hard buffed by magnetic changes). Just make sure to have enough range so that Total Eclipse can fit your clones into its range. When using with Sporelacer I like to put Secondary Fortifier for the added survivability because you are definitely not lacking in damage. Sadly Sporelacer cant use semi-pistol cannonade, idk why but it just is that way Smoge Also Im too uninterested in Chroma but ice chroma with arcane battery and secondary surge. He needs a spamable low cost ability from helminth to trigger secondary surge though. Fire blast is quite good, maybe ice wave too? He's also very happy that he's not held back by lacking armor strip anymore. Ive though about weapon choices for this kinda build, maybe a Synth Charge alt fire based Plinx? Could be interesting, but I'm not familiar with the exact math behind it Also please make a video about Ophanims Eyes, I would love to hear your thoughts and which frame do you think its good on. I think Dagath (get rid of her 4, focus on spreading doom with her abilities, add onto the debuffs with Ophanims), Chroma, Wisp, Dante, all naturally build some range strength to really use it well (and lack armor strip). Nova could be cool. Roar is always tough competition though. Sorry for long comment but I love your videos even if I didn't like this build that much, keep up the great work

Literally Xaku with one big ass turret!

Replace Transient Fortitude for Umbral Intensify, and use 1 or 2 Tauforged Crimson Shard for STR instead of Duration, you'll either have +4% Str, +12% Dur with 1Str Shard, or +19%str and -3% Dur with 2 Str Shards

We just need her 4th augment to be :can cast ability without invulnerabilty window but does not retrace her steps and stays in place. So using her 4th ability is actually usefull in missions that require you to go forward.

I just subscribed to you after watching the Nezha nuke vid. Ive seen a vunch of people saying you're alive 😂 but to me it looks like you're super active 😂

Hey nice video. Did not realise they brought a new augment for protea. Did you know that I'd you enter operator the instance after the rewind begins your operator does not get rewinded? So you can go with the Anker an when it triggers the rewind you can go into operator do a few void slings and then call back your Warframe.

Do understand from many that it CAN be a drag to use Temporal Anchor, but you can actually take advantage of it too! I have noticed one can cast any ability (havent tested if helminths too) during the rewind animation at any point, so you can actually set a couple early turrets to either armor strip or just get the counter and/or passive up for the next activation. I do that with a 20 sec Anchor and the Quellor to build fully into damage and never reload it manually! Rewind always finishes before the Turrets go down, so it look totally viable with the new augment!

Another way to deal with the rewind is the second it expires enter spoiler mode and stay in it for the duration of the rewind that way you can end up in the location but also get the explosion damage.

It’s funny how it doesn’t make temporal anchor actually good, it’s just a prerequisite.

“Why do people think this augment is bad?” It makes the turret weak as hell, forces you to use proteas most annoying ability (potentially giving up a helminth ability if you don’t want to lose dispensary), forces you to run TWO underwhelming augments to be functional thus weakening other parts of your build. Please DE remove the stupid anchor requirements from proteas augments

my protea build around basically those two augments ( turn it by your side as well as able to strip armor)

He’s alive!?!?

my protea around basically those two augments ( turn it by your side as well as able to strip armor)

I made two different builds for her. If I'm holding a spot or long survival, I will remove anchor for barrage and have fun with Protea. If I want to use her in normal missions, this is great for her. It adds to a weapons platform version of her. So one build for holding, this build for mobility and regular short missions

Armorstrip scales with strength on 4th ability. So if you want to armorstip with 2 shots you need to proc your passive on your ult. Also(i think its not important but) if you want even easier 2 shots armorstrip you can use Precision Intensify mod. But its irrelevant cause you steal strength from ur turrets. Anyways very good video glad my fav frame is getting buffs:)

MOM i want XAKU! Mom: We have Xaku at home Xaku at home:

New kyaii upload lfg!!

Nourish over her 3 Is so genius, I can’t wait to get home and slap that on

Just wanna put it out there... your Protea fashion is gucci uwu

I don’t see how you can be out killed with the right setup. I was waiting to do this build since the augment was announced and I’ve had even more fun on her

I used temporal artillery with temporal erosion and it did good damage in SP

My problem is, her 4 is so bad in so many ways that I don't want to use it continuously. One example: in BOB mode, if you use her 4 on the elevator, after it end, she will be under the elevator and fall down. And a lot of times though it's good, it is pretty bad in some mode.

If you’re running this in a mission where you’re not gonna hit the 250 augmented stacks switch that arcane with steadfast to help keep the loop going

I went into this video thinking there's no way I'm going to use this and then I left the video thinking I might try this!

If you put netra invocation mod on grimoire and shoot alt fire then it can give you up to extra 60% strength for 20 seconds. If you do it right, you'll have constant +60% strength.

This looks great. However I'm still not going to use Temporal Anchor 😂 Maybe if there was an augment that made it function more like similar abilities in other games where it's always active and puts you a few seconds backwards I'd consider it, but as it is spending all that time waiting for the rewind is just too much to make for enjoyable gameplay.

Use Umbral Intensify instead of Transient Fortitude and swap out one of the red duration archon shards for 15% strength, you'll basically get the benefits of placing another shard

I just hate temporal loop. It’s disgusting. It grosses me out. I hate it.

Used the build last night in my third config. It's still clunky (on controller) as is any build using Temporal Anchor. If disengaging without rewind was a tap instead of a hold it would honestly change the entire feel of the build. Beyond that, it is super strong, especially against Grineer. I blitzed through a SP Exterminate event mission last night and had two of the people on he team ask me WTF I did to Protea.🤣 My only wish would be to have more energy, but its really hard to do on this build.

Nah, I prefer to play her with just her Erosion augument. I personally like her 4th it's similar to League's Ekko's ultimate. I would prefer that the mechanics to be more similar to that, with instant swap back to the point of origin with nuking and some time of invulnerability that is the same duration as the previous rewind animation AFTER the Nuke. That would make the 4th much much better.

Is anyone else having an issue when recasting her 4? It ends immediately after the cast and you get knocked over as if you “died” during the ability.

we have xaku at home

Ngl I need to get back on warframw tip for the pass 4 months I’ve banging destiny 2

As neat as this is it just seems like this is more of a buffer set up for your ocucor rather than actually killing enemies mostly with turrets, which is the main reason i dont like this augment. I love temporal erosion since it can allow the turrets to do so much more on their own but this new augment doesnt really do anything to increase killing potential with turrets.

YEP big dissopointment its tied AGAIN to her 4

❤

Why not pair her with like the citrine slash it drops health and energy so with combat discipline like won't that be somewhat better than nourish?

let him cook, great video will deff try this build

Sorry tried it, but Temporal anchor bugging me every 20 seconds is just no fun, and when i miss the 1 second window; i die, because i rage and go get coffee instead of looking at a 10 sec animation getting pulled back where i used to be...it suks really hard.

Alternatively, you could just use Pillage and cast turrets as you move... or Roar for the double dip on heat since armor is a non issue after the changes. This feels too convoluted for the gain, not to mention everyone and their mother hates temporal anchor and having to cancel it.

I prefer Roar over nourish cuz double dipping heat DMG, also Nautilus as companion for gathering up enemies

I just REALLY REALLY DESPERATELY wish that the sound effect for temporal anchor kicked in with like 3 seconds remaining instead of 1. I like to just chill and talk with friends when I’m playing warframe and giving me just a single second to react every 20 seconds is so tedious. And the penalty for failing is a 10 second animation that puts me super far away from where I want to be. If the sound effect kicked in just a tiny bit sooner I wouldn’t mind it nearly as much.

Fine, I'll add another 3 forma to my Protea Prime.

I just wish her 4th ability didnt yoink her back by default, and just gave the option to rewind her if you pressed 4 again.

Been experimenting a bit eith this augment myself, but i didnt know it wss this potent lol. The build i typically use gets as much value out of temporal erosion as possible by using caliban's subsume over her turret to keep enemies in the shrapnel storms. Might have to add this build to my arsenal tho

Can you use casting speed to speed up the temporal rewind animation?

agree with everything except for one thing - the title, protea definitely isn't "the strongest" frame but she's up there, great vid however, explained everything pretty well

NoOoOO!!! Don't let people know... Pablo is gonna nerf her!! Don't use her people! Temporal anchor is a chore to use trust me........

I find it stressful to constantly needing to spam her shield nades to survive while trying to also spam her turrets while also keeping tabs on her passive and energy. Nothing like like chilling with my Revanent weapons platform 😊

Earlyy

Just give me an augment that says "fixes turret targetting". I hate it so much when i place a turret and it just looks at an enemy and does nothing.

why noit use umbra intensify instead of transient fortitude , and one power strengh shard instead of a duration one ? doesnt it give you more strengh and more duration overall ?

Yeah no augment requiring temporal anchor is ever going to see widespread use, unless they change temporal anchor to only do the rewind if you die while it's active or reverse the ability so you rewind if you cancel the ability. It's way to annoying with the rest of the warframe game design, hence why 99% of the player base subsumes an ability over anchor

Just admit Temporal anchor is Prism guard on copium.

Protea just gets stronger every update, it's frankly quite silly.

2nd xaku😂

what I hate about temporal anchor so much is the rewind effect at the end of the skill. Its very disorienting let alone annoying in endless missions.

run 2 emerald archon shards for armor strip and run prime flow u dont need temporal erosion

Suggestion for DE: Exilus Augment Mod for Protea that makes her Temporal Anchor NOT rewind

Oh yeah I can se why this would be strong now, its literally a mobile armor strip turret to an already strong dmg dealing turret. Forced to use Temporal Anchor tho is EEEHHHHH, maybe I'd just use Xaku at that point.

Only reason I don't like this is that it's just Grasp of Lohk with extra steps and caveats.

I'm sad they didn't change the rewind animation on her 4 with the release of her Prime. It's just way too inconvenient compared to other methods of shedding status effects. If the rewind was maybe just 1-2 seconds long, it would be bearable, but the current implementation is super annoying and frankly somewhat dizzying if you keep using it repeatedly.

holy first

It is a cool build however unfortunately it just outperformed by both xaku and and protea with an actual ability on her 4 like roar or a grouping ability

Updated equinox when bro 😭😭 you’ve brought her up a bunch in past videos, but no updated builds

⌛ ⚓

This is the first good build for protea ive ever seen. All the other ones are outclassed by simply using any other frame, the gear wheel, and any decent gun. Might actually try this!

Who hate protea due to her 4, double hate her due to 2 of the best aug mod stick to her 4 dont know her 4 can be cancel by hold 4. Because they hate her 4 so they even dont know her 4 can save protea from downing! The big problem with me is how to fit both aug mods? Because the armor strip one only need for.extreme high lv content now. Trust me, grinner lv 500 can be done without armor strip easily now( and the heat just remove 50% of them yet). So i just put 1 emeral and equip weapon corrosive and good status..

When her 1st augment came out, Temporal Erosion, I immediately used it because its a constant armor strip for both of her abilities and I ended up having more fun using protea. It sucks people dont see the utility on her 4th use case (probably brozime says so and rather dont want people to play protea becuase she may get nerfed, DE do nerf protea to get his head out of the gutter) Her new 2nd augment is niche but never terrible, people are angy cuz it has a cap, which is understandable. However that doesn't stopping people who want to make new fun ways to enjoy the game, so Id say its alrighr, would be getting adjustments and possibly increasing the duration and extend walk distance when using her 4th would be a big boon

Summer break buff

Nope DE, I won't use that ability.

Quit warframe after jade update. Mr22, founder of my dojo with 30 members plus I have a bunch of frames and weapons. Game just gets boring after awhile it's the same stuff each week I don't enjoy it no more. Then having to farm everything, wait days for builds, sell items for platinum is the worst part about it. I hate having to stop what I'm doing and then go be a salesman to earn platinum it sucks. I just want to play and have fun but this game is too much grindfest for me. Feels great not worrying about logging in to grab everything from npcs every week. Started playing Sekiro which I've been putting off for years and loving this game. Then I'm going to play Elden Ring dlc afterwards. I wish I had stopped playing warframe long time ago it feels like a huge waste of time after quitting. If yall enjoy it that's fine I just wanted to vent my frustrations about this game it takes you away from other games and I think it's a waste of time.

So 2 augments to make her a weaker xaku? Nah ill pass :3

i love this fucking channel this goddamn fucking channel is fucking amazing thanks for the fucking guides

In my opinion I don’t thing protiea is ok but not great like she can do something’s but most things no she’s just not good at it she’s not like blot or gauss, or Wukong’s, heck even rhino is still better in my opinion sure I’m Mr 30 but damage isn’t everything and she ya sure wasn’t all about damage like most other female frames but she just hasn’t got what the frames I think are the best have and there just trash bc that’s all that they can do and damage isn’t everything it’s just not but I just she’s ok but to me felt was a failed attempt to try be the type of frames I said were the best in my opinion

Ah the slightly worse xaku.

Well it’s a shame, that her 4 is one of the worst designed abilities in the game

Saying that Protea is the strongest warframe is clearly misleading when we all know that Loki is meta and does 3 times as much damage

To much work and wasted mods slots to make protea a worst xaku, i love her, one of my most played frames ever, but truth to be told, this augmented sucks and everything involving it, its just pure copium.

Wtf is with these cringe ahh clickbait titles? "Strongest warframe" as if thats actually a thing.

Woah cool video but excal is clearly the strongest frame and i can prove it
