Now that we’re not locked into 1 or 2 companions that can’t die, we can finally start using them to fill the gaps in our warframe’s arsenal! Did you find any good uses like that yet?

Looks like Helios is a pretty good armorstrip bot now, combining the Deconstructor with Vicious Bond.

Dethcube seems like a good fit on energy starved warframes thanks to its energy (orb) generator, possibly combined with Duplex Bond? Dunno if companion weapons ever get strong enough to kill high level enemies on their own though

I was thinking about trying out a Chesa for survival missions when you don’t have a Nekros but I dunno if Retrieve helps at all since it only fires off every 10 seconds with a 45% chance of success

What kind of stuff have you tried?

    Hmm, it’s one marked target every 15 seconds and the spread is only 7.5 meters but it does seem interesting, it could have some good synergy with citrine perhaps? Maybe even new hydroid with all the corrosion going on, or excalibur with chromatic blade? Not sure which other frames want to go for lots of status dmg.

      I’m planning on pairing this with Marked For Death from Helminth and a sniper rifle or bow. Turn the marked enemy into a bomb.

      Mecha set has excellent synergy with ANY frame that has high single target damage. Kullervo, Baruuk, Voruna, Citrine, Explosive Legerdemain Mirage, Saryn even. Because killing one enemy can kill a ton of enemies around you.

        Yeahh but mecha mods are so underwhelming on their own :/ I need to spend 2 warframe mod slots on shield recharge and additive armor increase, which is an even bigger waste than the aura’s bonus to damage against a single random enemy.

        Kullervo can already spread his damage around with his third ability as well, I much prefer dethcube on him for more energy generation.
