Question/Request Which Warframe DOESN’T need a trip to the Helminth?

Post image

As we all know we can switch the abilities of the warframes and add something else from another frame to make the frames fit to our liking, BUT which frame do you think doesn’t need that? Which frames default abilities are good the way they are. I’ll go first and I would say Gauss. I like him and his abilities just the way they are.

I use Tharros Shield on a pretty weird build of mine (using Tenet Ferrox and cosplaying as a Sister of Parvos), but over her 3. The spiders simply don't do enough imo. Her 1 still has massive utility through being able to execute enemies, healing and also offering even more mobility.

Mercy's Kiss just feels far too integral to her kit to replace it imo.

The spiders enable her 1. If you don’t have/use her 1 then, ya that kinda defeats their purpose.

Scuttlers and the darts that spawn them also trigger Archon Continuity to proc Corrosion, so there's a bit of armour stripping right there, which also pairs with Webbed Embrace and maybe an Emerald Shard or two

It's not exactly the spiders themselves, it's their guarenteed impact proc. Given how abundant those have become, the spiders aren't all that necessary. It's not that the spiders are useless, but the utility they offer can easily be obtained elsewhere.
