As a brand new Warframe participant, Koumei and the 5 Fates is the replace I’ve been ready for. Overhauling a few of the extra irritating elements of the onboarding expertise, whereas concurrently including a swathe of latest Japanese-inspired content material, it’s precisely what I wanted forward of the extremely anticipated Warframe 1999. From new body Koumei to the Caliban rework, there’s so much to unpack.
Let’s begin out with Koumei, the titular Warframe. Known as the ‘Cube Maiden,’ her equipment revolves across the concept of randomly generated numbers, or RNG. We see her string up enemies like marionettes together with her final, deal randomized harm and stat results based mostly on cube rolls, and even predict the long run. We all know that inventive director Rebb Ford loves Baldur’s Gate 3, and I’m feeling a bit of little bit of Faerûn within the multiplayer sport‘s latest addition.
Warframe Koumei talents
Right here’s a short rundown of latest Warframe Koumei’s talents:
Thread collectively Kumihimo traps to each harm and inflict random standing illnesses based mostly on cube rolls.
Predict the long run with Omikuji to be taught what fateful actions are wanted within the second to earn a particular buff.
Summon protecting Omamori charms to orbit Koumei and randomly convert harm into additional well being or shields.
Seize the strings of fiends’ fates themselves with the Bunraku final skill and puppeteer them like marionettes with standing results.
Whereas at first a little bit of an odd idea, I feel Koumei sounds completely wonderful to play. I just like the randomness; the excessive danger, excessive reward, and I really like the cube integration. Plus, she seems to be attractive, and that soundtrack slaps.
However whereas Koumei is the star of the present, we are able to’t overlook Caliban. In Koumei and the 5 Fates, the Inheritor of the Twin Kingdoms is getting a full rework and shall be free for a few weeks to rejoice.
There’s additionally a complete new mission sort referred to as Shrine Protection. Struggle again waves of enemies till the dreaded Infested Oni seems to exert its wrath for murdering its minions. Finishing Shrine Protection will internet you Koumei’s part elements, in addition to her signature weapons: the ‘Amanata’ polearm and ‘Higasa’ gunbrella (sure, I’m obsessive about that final one).
In fact, you’ll be able to all the time decide up Komei and her equipment utilizing the Warframe Market, and I’m very tempted by that Orihime helmet
Lastly, the brand new participant expertise has acquired a little bit of an overhaul, which is music to this author’s ears. Hatching your first Kubrow will take a minute, versus 48 hours, unowned mods now present full descriptions and their drop areas versus ‘????’, and the brand new skill popup now exhibits which keybind the ability is certain to – that latter one is an absolute lifesaver.
Basic updates embrace the power to favourite tools (lastly), Void Relics now show whether or not or not rewards are owned or are at the moment being crafted, and buying Arcana from distributors now exhibits how a lot Arcana you have got per rank.
In accordance with the newest Dev Workshop, a number of different changes are on the playing cards, too, together with a system that higher distinguishes story quests from Warframe and aspect quests, an replace to loading display screen tricks to make them extra informative for brand new gamers, and contemporary planetary arrival screens to assist spotlight targets and goals.
