There are frames such as Ember or Rhino where their skillset is pretty straightforward in what they do, and fairly easy to play as. Limbo on the other hand requires a little bit more skill to properly utilize. The whole idea with Limbo is that he is able to move and send others between dimensions through a Rift. You’re able to trap enemies within the Cataclysm bubble, not unlike Frost’s defensive bubble, and nullify damage attacks from outside. This pairs amazingly well Limbo’s second ability which essentially freezes everyone inside the bubble, although they’re no longer able to take damage outside of the existing damage-over-time, and melee. The first and third abilities are a little trickier to work with, as Banish literally sends enemies to the other dimension, which can cause some confusion for other teammates who are unfamiliar with how Limbo works, and Rift Surge attaches itself to those inside the Rift and essentially helps suck in more attackers whenever someone is killed.<br>In the end, the latest Prime update for Warframe is a worthy one.

Outside of a sharp-edged revamped appearance, Zephyr’s armor has increased significantly from 15 to 75, which could be a tad higher considering it makes her a little more vulnerable, but then again her shields and health remain surprisingly favorable all things considering. Zephyr’s energy tank also has received a 50% bump, which only adds to her maneuverable abilities requiring little energy in the first place. Additionally, Zephyr follows suit with Ash in that she has received a boost in run speed. Even though she’s still not as fast as Loki, she’s a close runner-up alongside Mirage, Nova and Ashe Prime. If anything, Zephyr is the ideal for getting through areas as quick as possible, which could be complimented with Volt’s Speed ability.

Overall, Zephyr is a balanced Warframe and much better thanks to the adjustments made a couple of months ago. Her Prime release only helps ensure that she isn’t a burden on anyone’s party, and if anything a welcome inclusion. Her first ability isn’t the best for your traditional missions, but she comes with everything you’d hope to see, making her adaptable in most game modes. Really, the only thing Zephyr is missing is party buffs, but she’s more of an attack character anyways. She still may not by my favorite Frame to run with, but her mobility is a blessing in areas such as of Plains of Eidolon.

In terms of abilities, Zephyr is surprisingly well-rounded, not only being nimble on her feet, but also has survivability and crowd-control techniques that do well in most situations. Bringing her into the Plains of Eidolon is where she shines the best, as she’s able to maneuver across the vast open area with ease, not using up too much energy in the process. Her first ability, Tail Wind, which has absorbed the Dive Bomb attack, is to thank for this, as not only will it allow players to hurl Zephyr tens of meters into the air, moving away from the action and exploring spots of a map you once thought inaccessible, but they’ll be able to have her come crashing down for impact damage. This combined with her floaty nature while airborne ensures you’ll be going from corner to corner in the Plains of Eidolon in no time. With that said, for standard linear missions, this technique is less useful, at least outside of dashing forward at a rapid pace.


While Warframe still has microtransactions, the game has been widely praised for keeping things in balance: the online environment certainly isn't 'pay to win', and purchases within the game don't come remotely as close to gambling as the infamous slot machine lever incident mentioned above. Now some 5 years after its initial release, Warframe is still getting updates from the developers as the community continues to dedicate plenty of hours into the space-based shoo

Over the last year, not only have we received the massive Plains of Eidolon expansion pack for Warframe Walkthrough|Https://Warframebase.Com/, but we’ve also got numerous character updates. Octavia and Harrow are absolutely wonderful support Frames, with Gara being an alright addition, whereas someone like Hydroid not only got his Primed version, but was reworked to be a phenomenal character to have in a party. Zephyr has received a similar treatment as she recently picked up a rework to make her flow better in combat and traversal. The latest quarterly Prime update has come and with it we now have a Zephyr Prime to find in the drop tables. We’re taking a look at what the latest update brings and whether or not Zephyr Prime is worth your time.

Airburst is Zephyr’s newest ability and is a solid attack. It throws three projectiles forward and damages enemies in a radius upwards of 8 metres, which can be very useful for mobs. It’s not flashy by any means, but it gets the job done. The third ability Turbulence is a good way to ensure Zephyr will survive most encounters. It puts up a wind shield around the character, redirecting any potential damage. It can be a bit pricey on energy, but in a bind, it will save your butt when things get hectic. Finally, Tornado is one of the better aspects of Zephyr, giving her some fantastic crowd control, especially if you combine it with Airburst, which increases their height dramatically. These things can be devastating when you combine them with the interchangeable elemental damage, especially on enemies with high armor. This is maybe a bit too flashy at times as I’ve had my screen engulfed by numerous tornados, but so long as they’re doing what they’re meant to, it’s a good substitute for other CC attacks.


Known by some as the "dubba Stubbas," the Kuva Twin Stubbas is a textbook example of what a bullet hose secondary looks like. They have a moderate fire rate of 10, great status chance, solid critical stats, and good base damage for an archetype that fires dozens of bullets a sec
