Gyre

100+ runs later, no chasis... im convinced they changed the drop rate to .01% or they removed it from the game.

[Scuffed Deletion]

I dont believe the drop chance tables. Absolutely rediculous, I got equinox faster than this

Over 70 runs for the Neuroptics, and still haven't got it...

Subbed eyes over 1. cash money. 1 for cc and strip, 4 to start the chain, 4 to start the energy regen and damage boost( as well as well to start increasing the 4 duration with an aug), 2 to group and ragdoll for extra cc and to get some elec stacks going. using fulmin prime with magnetic damage for general use, use rifle unless your seeing grineer then impact damage from shotgun can help to do some extra damage for slightly less crit chance(not that it really matters if your keeping your strip active).

They went and patched the flipped-up skirt blocking vision when aiming down sights, but not at any other time? WTH? it still blocks so much of the camera, and firing from the hip is the way to go most of the time. Teach her some modesty.

My favorite frame so far! Her 3 and 4 can snapshot high ability strength and keep it perpetually, so it's pretty easy to get over 600% ability strength for those abilities just using Grimoire, a few arcanes, and Madurai. Slap Pillage on either her 1 or 2 depending on your preference and you'll be deleting rooms. I can achieve over 130 KPM on Steel Path Circulus which is approaching what I can do on Saryn- but in my opinion, a much more fun way! She's also by far the best frame in the game for taking advantage of certain things such as Archon Stretch and purple Archon shards (these in particular seem to be tailor made for Gyre).

She's almost perfect imo, all she needs to become S-tier would be a little base damage bump and a little built-in survivability. But still even if she is not the strongest frame in the game she is so satisfying to play and use and very strong. My go-to pick when I'm ever struggling with any content.

That Cooldown on her 3 makes absolutely no sense and makes the ability very useless in a squad, and impractical in low density maps.

This frame has a lot of potential 🤝

It amazes me that we don't have a power frame here that replaces Volt but Gyre is incredibly useful for crowd missions. I think Gyre is an improved version of the old Ember.

Had a lot of potential, but ended up being too boring imo. Her 3 and 4 are her main abilities and her 4 augment's death explosion is enough for it to be basically mandatory. This augment makes her not need to cast her best abilities (3 and 4). What ends up happening when you play her, is you don't cast anything because they're not really worth casting. Her 1 is meh and 2 lets you chain lightning for more damage as well as some electric proc priming. However, if you subsume pillage over 1, that is a bigger damage increase anyways and so it becomes the only ability you cast.

This warframe feels like the discount version of old Ember.

Gyre is fantastic for solo play. Really only usable in solo play or in areas where interaction with other players is limited to none, because if ANYONE steals the kills you need, it shuts down the entire train that is optimal Gyre gameplay. She kills everything with ease, absolutely no problem on that front, but that is as far as her survivability goes. The only way to stay alive as Gyre is to make sure nothing is alive to shoot you (which isn't truly a problem for her), which is a bit bothersome, but nothing adding Rolling Guard can't fix. Her 1 and 2 feel pretty weak compared to her 3 and 4 (even more so if you use the augment). Her 1 is ok crowd control, but the main reason I use it is for adding electric stacks for her passive (which might've been the intended way to use it so idk). Her 2 feels horrible as a grouping ability, since its physics based and would definitely suggest using this as your subsume slot (aim for either more damage or survivability. Even subsuming something like Larva would be pretty good. To be honest with how much aoe her kit has grouping does not really matter.) Her real Bread and Butter is her 3/4 combo, both of which being incredibly powerful and synergistic. With the Augment, there is no real need to mod for duration, so maxing out Strength and using other mod slots for survivability/range is definitely the best way to go With constant kills continuing the abilities, modding for efficiency is also rather pointless (especially when high strength makes her 3 restore more energy, which you want to do anyways to have as high crit chance as possible added from her 3). Her 4 is the perfect addition to her 3, rewarding you for hitting crits with a high damaging electric arc, giving her tons of crowd control for shooting stuff, and dealing tons of damage at the same time. Her best friends are either aoe weapons with good crit (or not if you mod for high enough strength), so Kuva Zarr, Acceletra, the normal stuff thats popular at the moment. Alternatively, she performs quite well with rifles and weapons with higher fire rate, so if going full Rambo is also a great option if thats your style (I really like Burston Incarnon, but you could probably make things like the Gorgon perform well with her).

To summarize, her 1 and 2 feel weak but her 3 and 4 (especially with the augment I cannot stress that enough) make up for it tenfold with the sheer power they provide, but watch out for her low survivability.

I've been using a lot of Gyre and I do enjoy running around as a glass cannon, but it does feel like her kit is cripplingly one note. She does a lot of electricity damage and crits. If an enemy is immune to electricity status stuns and her 2 she won't have a particularly good time and has no real recourse if she can't just wipe them off the face of the earth.

15 tier 2 bounties in a row or more, no chasis, thanks DE

This is one of those frames where the value lies in solo play only really and as you read this you will see why. you are stuck between a rock in a hard place with her build because if you build too much duration your 3rd augment loses value at a certain point since it refreshes 4 on kill so you ideally want a middle ground of enough duration to be able to get those first few kills and keep it up basically indefinitely, however the issue lies in that very mechanic, you must get those few kills ASAP and if enemy density is not high enough you will be put on cooldown, how long is this cooldown? 60 seconds. To emphasize how terrible this is, you basically will do NO damage and have NO AoE until those 60 seconds pass and playing around that feels terrible because Gyre has NO defensive capabilities in her kit alone and NO mobility. Yes Gyre 4 does increase MS but the bonus is honestly negligible I wouldn't be surprised if you forgot she had it in the first place. So why only solo as stated earlier? When you have a frame that wants to do everything themselves you are basically actively fighting against your team to get those first few kills off or you are fucked and are a sitting duck, useless for the next minute while you walk around and wait until that ability comes off cooldown because without her augment you again, do no damage, she does quite literally nothing. So if little Timmy on whatever wf comes around and takes those few kills you are SoL, if you are knockdowned and cucked out of those crucial few seconds again, you are fucked. If for whatever reason you are fucked in any way where if any little thing just delays you for just a few seconds you are fucked. Now to say this before anyone else does, Gyre is not a bad frame for what she does, which is nuke shit, HOWEVER there are so many things that can get in the way of that. Unless you are willing to dump the shards or change your build to be duration based you are going to have to sacrifice either range or strength which you really want high range to room clear and you REALLY want strength to yknow, do damage! go figure. TLDR she is good in certain scenarios and can trivialize certain content however the asking price for what she does is too much compared to other warframes that can do her job essentially the same but easier or better.

Wish her bp's could be sold like Qorvex through standing. Do not regret using a marketplace discount for this though. Fun frame.

It is kind of nutty what kind of DPS this frame can put out. Grouping, crit chance, unlimited energy and shock procs out the ass to take advantage of her 2. I forma'd her once and didn't helminth anything. She melts SP.

Her whole kit is great. You could subsume her 1 for pillage or whatever but it seems to keep her alive fine by stunning everything that comes near you, and its not bad aoe damage.

Glass cannon for sure but definitely one of my favorites. 1 and 2 are fun to spam in between your barrages from you preferred bullethose. She probably wouldn't be my top pick for open world stuff but that's fine. Her buffs still work there pretty good.

Warframe reminding me why I still play the game... because it won't give me what I want, I expect to be back here once I finally get her in 2025.

Just another frame with very poor damage scaling.

250 damage per second, or 500 per discharge? Have devs even tried to test her in Steel Path? Level 170 Steel Path Heavy Gunner have 97% damage reduction, or over 8 million EHP. Damage Gyre's abilities will to Heavy Gunner wouldn't even be considered a tickle.

Oh right, she can do crits by her abilities.... with hard set 2x multiples, or 4x total damage on 300% crit. Suuuuure, that's so helpful, now she can do 40 damage per second damage to Heavy Hunner, instead of 10. Now it will take only a thousand seconds to take out 41k of Heavy Gunner's HP...

And she doesn't have way on her own to strip armor, inflict bleed, or perform any other method of true damage. 50% multiplicative crit chance from cathode grace hardly worth it either.

And as a final insult - she is extremely squishy on her own. Not even dumb shield gating helps her. And if Yarely at least can get both tanky and getting good damage with syndicate mod, Gyre is just... worthless.

If there would be some form to modify her worthless electricity damage to corrosive - she would have at least some minor excuse to exist. But otherwise, she is literally one of worst frames right now.

My favorite fun frame for sure, Gyre is God when it comes to slaughtering masses of enemies and with Pillage subsumed she also has decent survivability. I have almost always the most kills in any endless mission, SP or normal, the others are not even close. All you need to feel ridiculous OP is the Cathode Current mod and Amprex and you go zap-zap-everythings-dead.

Needless to say, this is the frame I wish the most they'd release in prime version.
