Massive Quality of Life Changes for Warframe Abilities and Line of Sight π οΈ
Table of Contents
Dante’s Abilities Receive a Much-Needed Fine-Tuning π―
With the latest hotfix, Dante's abilities have been refined to improve reliability. LoS checks have become more consistent, and his Page Flight's status damage return is now not only fixed but enhanced. These alterations ensure more effective ability usage.
- Dante's Enhanced Abilities: A Closer Look
| Ability | Change | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Ver | Improved LoS checks | Increases ability effectiveness |
| Page Flight | Status damage returned and buffed | Stronger at maximum rank with scaling |
Nezha Sees Adjustments to Divine Retribution, Balancing the Nerf π§
After an uproar due to a drastic nerf to Nezha's Divine Retribution, the developers have scaled back the changes, offering a compromise with a 27% range nerf compared to the original 50%. The new base range of 14m which scales with mods presents a more balanced approach.
- Nezha's Divine Retribution: Balancing the Changes
| Previous Nerf | New Adjustment | Resulting Range |
|---|---|---|
| 50% range nerf | 27% range nerf | 33m from 20m |
Chroma Warframe Receives Long-Due Buffs and Enhancements π
Chroma’s Vex Armor Buffs No Longer Hindered by Overguard π‘οΈ
The recent updates have removed the limitations Overguard imposed on Chroma's ability to receive buffs. Now, Chroma can gain an armor increase and weapon damage boost through melee and ranged kills, making Vex Armor more self-reliant and potent.
- Chroma's Vex Armor Buffed: A Detailed Look
| Buff Source | Buff Type | Increase Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Melee kills | Armor | 15% |
| Ranged kills | Weapon damage | 15% - 30% |
Tweaks to Rage and Hunter Adrenaline Allow More Flexibility with Energy Regen β‘
Rage and Hunter Adrenaline mods have been adjusted to convert damage on Overguard into energy when shields are down. These changes promote more strategic play and energy management.

| Mod Name | Conversion Rate |
|---|---|
| Rage | +40% |
| Hunter Adrenaline | +45% |
Line of Sight Checks Improved, Expanding Warframe Abilities’ Reach π
The developers have refined LoS checks, conducting scans at three points (head, torso, and feet) to ensure enemies are accurately detected. This potentially increases the effectiveness of Warframe abilities, helping them navigate environments better.
- Line of Sight Improvements: A Tactical Advantage
| Ability Check Points | Improved Detection |
|---|---|
| Head, torso, feet | Enhanced enemy scanning |
A Middle Ground Found for Titron’s Slam Damage Capabilities π₯
After an overcorrection on a previous nerf, the Titron sees a revised approach to its slam damage buff. With increased damage per charge and adjusted maximum rank, the Titron finds balance between too powerful and underwhelming.
- Titron's Adjusted Slam Damage: Striking a Balance
| Change | Effect |
|---|---|
| Charge damage increased | 250% increase per charge |
| Range adjustment | Doubled per charge while maintaining balance |
Conclusion: Diverse Community Opinions and Ongoing Development π
These comprehensive changes reflect significant improvements, but opinions within the community remain mixed. Dialogue around mechanics like Line of Sight continues as the developers seek to fine-tune Warframe's gameplay.
- Community Feedback: A Mixed Bag of Opinions
