As a brand new Warframe participant, Koumei and the 5 Fates is the replace I’ve been ready for. Overhauling among the extra irritating components of the onboarding expertise, whereas concurrently including a swathe of recent 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 lots to unpack.
Let’s begin out with Koumei, the titular Warframe. Known as the ‘Cube Maiden,’ her equipment revolves across the thought 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 artistic director Rebb Ford loves Baldur’s Gate 3, and I’m feeling a bit of little bit of Faerûn within the multiplayer game‘s latest addition.
Warframe Koumei skills
Right here’s a short rundown of recent Warframe Koumei’s skills:
- Thread collectively Kumihimo traps to each harm and inflict random standing illnesses based mostly on cube rolls.
- Predict the long run with Omikuji to study 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 further 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 believe Koumei sounds completely superb to play. I just like the randomness; the excessive danger, excessive reward, and I like the cube integration. Plus, she seems to be attractive, and that soundtrack slaps.
However whereas Koumei is the star of the present, we will’t overlook Caliban. In Koumei and the 5 Fates, the Inheritor of the Twin Kingdoms is getting a full rework and might be free for a few weeks to have a good time.
There’s additionally an entire new mission sort known as Shrine Protection. Combat 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 element components, in addition to her signature weapons: the ‘Amanata’ polearm and ‘Higasa’ gunbrella (sure, I’m obsessive about that final one).
In fact, you possibly can at all times choose 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 places versus ‘????’, and the brand new skill popup now reveals which keybind the facility is sure to – that latter one is an absolute lifesaver.
Normal updates embrace the flexibility to favourite tools (lastly), Void Relics now show whether or not or not rewards are owned or are presently being crafted, and buying Arcana from distributors now reveals how a lot Arcana you’ve got per rank.
In line 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 spanking new gamers, and recent planetary arrival screens to assist spotlight targets and targets.
Warframe’s Koumei and the 5 Fates arrives on Wednesday, October 2, bringing with it Koumei herself, the Caliban rework, and all the adjustments talked about above. For those who log in between October 2 and Wednesday October 16, you’ll additionally obtain Caliban at no cost.
