::: spoiler spoiler Given the recent lore you could technically play a Jade and Stalker husband and wife duo. Extremely random I know but it just occured to me and seems kinda cute in a slaughtering thousands of corpus kinda way. :::

So with his new fashion (love that lopsided scarf) and more importantly his newish augments he's really become a frame that I love a lot more than I thought I would. After looking at some youtuber builds the option seemed to be distinctly nuke or ghost but honestly he works great doing both (even with some mods missing) Overall he ended up being a frame I can play however I want. - Tanky enough to just melee or shoot when I want too. - Nukey enough to handle base steel path even without subsuming roar - Able to transition to shadow form pretty much whenever I want since the nuke instantly charges death well. - Able to nuke well in shadow form too. Its also just awesome to be able to have swarms of killer ghosts to summon on a whim in both normal and shadow form.

I'm sure we've all seen the old 5D dungeon post on reddit, this isn't quite that and its use of 4D space is rather simplistic being a basic translation through 3 slices of an un-rotated 4D cube, however its already set up and ready to go. I hope some DMs out there get some use out of it wether that be for a confusingly long dungeon crawl or just a one session gimmick.

For more context, I'm thinking of playing a centaur barbarian which means with the practiced brawn ancestry feat I can get +1 to athletic checks to shove and any succesful shove is a critical success. Despite the potential for cool Trip just seems better though? it targets a save which most monsters are worse at than fortitude, also steals a movement action and puts the enemy off-guard until their turn. Is there something I'm missing or is trip just a better option every time that doesn't involve a convenient cliff or river of lava?

It seems much more grippy than before, even in singleplayer a few times I've managed to zipline away only to somehow be pulled back inside the crystal after its already closed.

I'm sure we all remember when Topaz shards were utterly overpowered only to be nerfed so hard as to be all but abandoned outside secondary crit chance. Since then DE have said they follow the same rules Calibans lethal progeny ability, this howerver is incorrect and Topaz shards appear to be even more limited. They in fact seem to obey the following 2 rules. - Overshields cannot be generated. - Shields cannot be generated during ANY kind of recharge delay. The second point is important because any recharge delay includes the brief one every time you'r hit, even if you still have shields and haven't shield gated. The result is that Topaz shards cannot generate any shields while under fire. This in my opinion is likely an oversight as it renders them utterly useless since their only potential utility is when you're not in combat yet still able to kill enemies with a blast, a situation not only incredibly rare but also one where shields regenerate on their own anyway.

So I've mostly been playing on Haz 3, I could swing Haz 4 and even did the EDDs with a friend but Haz 3 was my comfort zone. Then I got around to doing the haz 5 unlock assignment, I wanted to do it solo because it felt right and my initation was graced with swarmageddon and duck and cover hazards, plus a surprise bulk in the kill 3 dreadnoughts mission. Afterwards I did a few missions on Haz 4 and it just feels... cozy. is this how it happens? Am I inevitably going to become one of those crazy dwarves who plays on Haz 5+ and still considers the game too relaxed? In Karls name is this my fate!?

So before I start here's my [build](https://i.imgur.com/JpfSezW.png) for reference: **Review** So overall I think Jade is a cool concept, having a 'biblically accurate' angel warframe is a nice change from another speedster frame or whatever cali...something is meant to be. I know some people find the whole, well if you played the quest you know; thing a bit uncomfortable but in retrospect its a pretty masterful move by DE because a biblically accurate angel *should* be unsettling. Onto the review: - Lights Judgement: This is a pretty great ability, it effectively acts like blood altar but without requiring an enemy and with extra synergy with other parts of her kit. It does suffer a bit from the same issue as Trinitys 'well of life' in that despite being an objectively good ability its a bit overshadowed by the rest of her kit. - Symphony of Mercy: This is basically a 3rd aura, and honestly outright unbalanced compared to other support frames but it is fun. I like to use the strength buff before casting my 4 for the free boost and then maintain damage to buff my own glory weapon, occasionally switching to the shield buff to quickly recharge if I'm taking a lot of damage. Its worth noting that this scales with affinity range so it can benefit from PoE consumables and the Vazarin focus school. I also suspect the % shield regen could make for an interesting tanking method when combined with primed redirection but I haven't tried that yet. - Ophanim Eyes: Another strong one and Jades subsume the defense strip is not only good but also stacks addatively with corrosive projection allowing you to speed up armor strip by about a second. The ability also has slow but most enemies die before it can make a difference (The abilities own damage is not worth mentioning). On Jade only this can also revive allies but it really doesn't come up much. - Glory on High: Mandatory if you want to look like an awesome angel instead of a pile of wet towels this ability is also fortunately pretty damn strong. The drain isn't crazy and the weapon is also strong in its own right, 30-50% damage reduction is also icing on the cake; combined with aerodynamic and aviator you can hit abnout 75% damage reduction in this state. Glory: Once again here's my [build](https://i.imgur.com/ngg2PSB.png) for reference: Easily one of the stronger exalted weapons right now being somewhere beteen dex pixia and peace makers in terms of raw damage output while being easier to use than both. It can handily take down level 200 steel path grineer without any armor strip, and with range and sufficient enemy density it can maintain her 2 forever all by itself, particularly in steel path. It can also synergize with her 1 for a massive room nuke but honestly thats overkill. If you want more single target damage simply swap fulmination for pistol elementalist to roughly double its damage output. **Conclusion** Overall Jade is a really strong frame who's fun to use with a kit where every ability has its place and feels worth using... yet its feels vaguely dissapointing. Despite being good it doesn't really feel like Jades kit. Particularly with her 2 and 4 it feels more like DE took all the things they should have done to rework, Hildryn, Equinox and Titania and combined them all together to make a new frame instead. Overall I'm happy with jade but I think I would have been happier if Hildryn had a 4 that felt this good, if Equinox wasn't saddled with awkward limitations and uncapped energy drains, and if Titania (while still strong) just had a little more usability and synergy in her kit.

These screenshots are both from the exact same drillevator ride in todays deep dive. Needless to say we had a good time.

While there have been no statistical changes to the weapon the ice trails it leaves behind (just the default ones *not* the new overclock) seem to deal more cold damage than they used to as I've noticed them freezing enemies a lot more often. Perhaps a tweak that was made while they were looking at it for the purpose of the new overclock?

(This is my first attempt at writing HFY, I hope you guys enjoy it) The k'tarr representative raised their voice over the hum of chattering dignitaries "Attention every, may I have your attention please! I understand we are all concerned but if we are to find a solution we must have order." As the chattering of dignitaries subsided they continued "As you all know we are gathered here today to discuss the ongoing attack by hostile species fourteen..." "What do we even know about species fourteen?" "Would the tyrl representative please allow me to finish before speaking. It is indeed true that we know almost nothing of species fourteen itself, other than that which we have been able to discern from the construction of the catalyst weapons used against our worlds." Catalyst weapons; the words sent a murmur through the arrayed representatives while the photocommunicators flashed with alarmed reds and sorrowful blues. Seated at the head of the assembly, the races of the afflicted worlds reacted with mixed stowicism, anger, and deep saddness. Struggling to maintain composure the k'tarr representative continued "I will now scede the floor to the honorable prince sheltaf of the mycorian republic who may be able to grant us further insight on the nature of species fourteen." Hobbling and assisted by a ceremonial bodyguard, sheltaf radix, third prince of the mycorian republic, ascended to the podium soft lines of pained yellow flashing along his side with each step. "I'm sure none of you here today know me, as a mere third prince my role in political affairs was minor. I do believe however that all of you knew my older sister the honorable diplomat rhelsha; it is my deepest regret to bring you news of her death, as well as that of the second and fourth princes, and my parents." Solemnity at once took the crowd as the last whispers and feint flashes died away. "As the eldest surviving member of the radix family it is my responsibility to take on her role as representative to the council, and to tell you how she died." "As many of you know our capital world was the first hit by the catalyst, though the exact events are murky and reconstruction is ongoing I believe we are now able to provide the council with an aproximate series of events." Behind him the council chambers screen lit up to display a diagram of a long elipsoid object reminiscent of a torpedo. "On the date of approximately 14/09/2358 [translated for readability] standard galactic time this object is believed to have been picked up by sensors entering the secure space around the capital world shala. At the time the object was dismissed as debris and recieved no further attention beyond the standard logging of such objects." The screen changed to display a real image of the same object, this time inside a biohazard containment chamber and bearing dents and scorching from re-entry. "It was not until the object subtly shifted orbit at the last minute and entered into a re-entry trajectory that the alarm was rasied, unfortunately for all of us it was already too late. Immediately preceeding and for some time post impact the object began dispersing a cocktail of various previously unknown micro-organisms, fungal spores, and seeds; the first response team on site had their respiratory systems completely overwhelmed within minutes." The screen changed once more, revealing an image of shala from low orbit, Even from orbit a pale green scar could be seen originating from the impact point, overtaking the pastel blue of the worlds native flora. "Before we knew what was heppening the foreign organism began overtaking our natural environment at an alarming rate, our forrests were broken down into slurry by alien bacteria, the air became choked with deadly spores and the most unfortunate were directly parisatized and consumed by aggressive flora; my sister..." As the last prince of shala lapsed into silence representative k'tarr resumed the podium and glanced at the head of the assembly. "I'm sure many of you have similar stories to share, at present twenty one worlds have been overrun by the catalyst bioweapon and trillions have died." There was a commotion among the assembled delegates as the lanian representative broke down and had to be removed from the assembly. "Thanks to the bravery and sacrifice of mycorian scientists, and many others from all over the union we do now have at least some information about species fourteen. Reverse engineering of the catalyst weapons themselves suggests their spaceflight is surprisingly crude as each one utilizes only the most basic and inneficient of blink drives, analysis of the alloys used suggests they were manufactured under a lower gravity than is standard for habitable worlds. Finally sequenceing of the genomes of some of the bioweapon strains shows they share a common base, though we cannot expect species fourteens natural ecology to be remotely similar to that of their bioweapons our scientists believe we can still uncover valuble information about their metabolisms and the likely atmospheric composition of their homeworld." The council chamber erupted in speculation as delegates considered the potential implications of such information and argued about how it should be used. As the chatter grew into a roar the delegate k'tarr once again had to raise their voice. "I'm sure you all have questions, even demands; before then I have one simple proposition. Scientsits from the mycorian republic working with the countil believe they have pinpointed the aproximate location of species fourteens homeworld. My government proposes a resolution to launch a covert expedition to this world in order to gather more information about our enemy in advance of a counterattack. If there are no objections to this proposal would the esteemed representatives please now cast their votes.

So its 25 ammo to instant freeze a praetorian with a 1.5s charge time... Except I can freeze a praetorian in the same time and with about half the ammo just using the regular cryo cannon fire. Am I missing something or is this overclock somewhat lacking in a use case?

All the frame parts for the default starter AC were made by RaD. Really love that little detail just tying back the whole deal with Walter and Carla right to the very first time we open the AC assembly. It was right there in front of me and I didn't even notice.

According to steam achievements I've obtained every single AC part but I can't help but notice the head piece used in the second stage of the final boss fight is absent. I'm really hoping its some kind of secret unlock and not just completely unobtainable.

So for a quck refresher the venomthrope statline is as follows: [M6" / T5 / Sv4+ / W3 / Ld8 / OC1] 70pts for a unit of 3 They have 5 attacks on an anti-infatry 2+ weapon. A malanthrope in comparison is 75 pts and otherwise identical stats excepting 10 wounds and Ld7, it also has a garbage weapon of its own. So why take a malanthrope instead of 3 more venomthropes? Well first of all it completely offsets its own weak attacks by giving the whole unit access to sustained-hits 1 and since anti-X weapons count as critical hits its immediately doubling the damage output of the acompanying venomthropes. The malanthrope is also bringing synapse to the unit and increasing foul spores radius from 6" to 9". As a final advantage its 10 wounds are in one model, a normal unit of 6 venomthropes would lose effectiveness for every 3 wounds lost however a unit of 3 venomthropes with an attatched malanthrope can maintain full effectiveness for 9 wounds before damage output begins to fall. Theoretically the benefits of a malanthrope only grow greater if attatched to a unit of 6 venomthropes as their fighting power would increase to that of 12 ordinary venomthropes for only 3/4 the cost.
