invisible.

* GoodBadBugs: ''Radial Disarm'' currently has a number of ''interesting'' effects on the Infested, ranging from gibbing the ''actual arms'' of common infested, to flat out ''instantly-killing'' the dog-like Chargers regardless of their current health and level.



* GoodBadBugs: Nyx' Mind Control power can currently target things that should ''logically'' be immune to mind control, such as fully-robotic entities like Rollers and Moas, and... well, ''security cameras''. A few enemies that ''should'' be vulnerable, on the other hand, are actually immune.



* MindManipulation

to:

* MindManipulationMindManipulation: Her Mind Control and Chaos powers are especially effective; the former making the target a temporary ally, and the latter making all enemies perceive each other to be enemies of greater threat to them than the Tenno. Mindcontrolled enemies will use their abilities against their former allies or to the benefit of the Tenno (Ancient Healers heal you, Seekers throw Latchers at other Grineer, etc.). Bosses are generally immune to Mind Control though.

to:

!!! Jackal and Hyena

These Proxies are some of the deadliest Corpus inventions yet. Their multiple powerful weapon systems, heavy shields, and robust construction all come together to make them a considerable threat to the Tenno.

Corpus Proxies

!!! Ambulas

The galaxy's tiniest, angriest Moa. Ambulas may be no bigger than a normal Moa, but it is by far the most dangerous of them all.

* BossInMookClothing: The only thing that seperates Ambulas from a conventional Moa, at first sight, is its custom paint job.

Pointing out just how fast Rhino can be when you start charging for speed.


* CrutchCharacter: Somewhat. Throughout most of the game slash dash hits like an atom bomb, instagibbing virtually everything and being cheap to boot. In high level defense missions however, the enemies eventually become tough enough that all damage abilities lose their luster, and at that point frames with more utility (like Frost or Nyx) are preferred.






* MightyGlacier: Quite literally.

to:

* MightyGlacier: Quite literally. He has the slowest run speed in the game and doesn't have a dash like Rhino does. However, he can throw up a large low cost 39 (with duration mod) second bubble shield that makes everything inside immune to attacks from outside and slows any enemies inside to a crawl. Frost doesn't go anywhere fast, but inside his domain, he is god.



** Until/if you max out streamline (reduced mana cost), flow (+ max mana), and continuity (+ ability duration, also extends the charge's reach), at which point he graduates into full on LightningBruiser. When that glorious day comes, you can clear 136 meters in under 8 seconds using rhino charge and still have enough mana for the uber and 40 seconds of god mode once you get into the fray. For clarification, the absolute largest defense map in the game is a square less than 100 meters long per side. A good rhino can be anywhere on the map within 10 seconds (less than 5 on every other map, all of which are considerably smaller than the aforementioned square) and tear anything to shreds once he arrives since he is literally unkillable.



* ShockwaveStomp: His ultimate skill, Rhino Stomp, which distorts time from the sheer force of the stomp.

They rely on their heavy armor, numbers, [[MoreDakka dakka-spewing rifles]], and careful deployment of specialized units such as Heavy Gunners or Shield Bearers to match the Tenno in battle.


Added DiffLines:

They use shielded robots to support their somewhat frail workers in combat, as well as specialized drones that can boost the shields of allies or lay mines. They are also the only faction to make use of security cameras and laser-defended doorways in their levels.


Added DiffLines:

The Infected spawn in much greater numbers than other factions, and swarm their enemies with powerful Chargers that can take out a Warframe lower level than them in a few strikes, and Runners that explode in proximity to enemies to stagger them. There are also GiantMooks called Ancients, that are much slower than regular Infested, but can absorb much more damage and drain energy, health, or heal their allies.

* WeHaveReserves: Being a clone race, the Grineer can raise armies very quickly indeed, as is reflected by the wave after wave of troops the average Tenno will slice through in a single mission. Unfortunately for the Grineer, their weapon and armor tech is so primitive compared to Tenno technology that a single Tenno can wipe out an entire legion of grineer troops singlehandedly.
