XandyPantsCapture missions are well-suited to racing, so I created DriftFrame as a simple format for us to enjoy together! In this video, I explain the rules that I use when I run races during my livestreams on Twitch (linked below), and then I discuss every single frame in the game as they apply to this format.
Since DriftFrame is just a fun minigame I play inside of Warframe, this tier list is also just a fun way to think about the game in the context of this format.
Please keep in mind that this has absolutely nothing to do with a given frame's effectiveness for normal gameplay! I have a bunch of other videos about that and this is not one of them.
#Warframe #CaptureMissionRacing #TierList
Please also remember that this isn't speedrunning. That's its own thing, distinct from DriftFrame. You might think of DriftFrame as a powered-down speedrunning category, but really the goals of this format are also a bit different from speedrunning. I really enjoy speedrunning, and I wanted to make something inspired by but meaningfully different from that. I hope you enjoy it!
Here's some example races we ran on Twitch after this broadcast: youtu.be/qB4So5v61Hw
Finally, note that this is the most recent of several DriftFrame tier lists and that a lot has changed, especially with the Helminth system. I did my best to explain everything at the start of the video:
Explanation of the format - 0:00:12 Tier list methodology - 0:02:31 Baseline Racing Tech - 0:04:13 Quick Sprint vs Parkour Comparison - 0:11:41
I wasn't planning to do this live, but a lot went wrong at the end of 2020 and this was the only way I could get the video made in a reasonable amount of time. One positive result, though, is that you get to hear some of the back and forth with my Twitch community in chat. They make a lot of the videos you see here a lot better than they would otherwise be, and I'm happy that they got to be in this video, if only a little bit! I'll be trying to incorporate that stuff into future videos even more, just in a more premeditated way.
This video was edited by Joey Zero! He's been a wonderful friend for almost as long as I've been making videos, and I'm quite excited to be working with him formally on my own videos. Your support on sites like Patreon paid for his work on this video, so we would both like to thank you very much! ___

But the mechanics of exactly how you shred those bodies are somewhat complicated and pretty inconsistent. I hope this will help you get started!

I think the solution is to spend some of that energy on damage reduction, and there are some different options to consider. I hope this video helps you choose! ___

Making more loot is obviously great, but I've always been interested in the many other advantages that Nekros gains along the way. So, in this mini-series, I'm going to walk through what I'm currently using and why. I think the most natural place to start is this powerful source of energy that you can add to Desecrate! ___

When you're done with this video, the afterparty video is here: youtu.be/-WRxFvnS6Hk
0:22:41 Corrosive 0:27:41 Magnetic 0:30:36 Viral 0:33:38 Radiation 0:37:02 Blast 0:40:56 Gas
0:45:35 final list and acknowledgements
Now for the beverage recipes, although most of them are very simple by nature. Experiment by adding my physical type modifier ingredients to them!
Corrosive - 2 oz brandy - 1 oz lemon juice (or a little less, to taste; I used .75 oz) - 1 oz syrup of choice (or less to taste, I used .5 oz of maple syrup) Shake with ice and strain over fresh ice. Simple sours are often served up, but I find the richness of these drinks to be more pleasant with a lot of ice, and the flavor balance also completely falls apart at lower temperatures, so keeping it chilled is a good thing. Use a lot of ice if you do use ice, as that will minimize dilution.
Magnetic - 1 oz lemon juice - 1 oz syrup of choice - dash of peppermint extract - 4 oz water Yes, I think shaking lemonade like a cocktail adds a lot to the drink, perhaps because it's aerating it to some benefit. In my experience, lemonade tastes good at a variety of concentrations, so it can be fun to start this one with less water and let it dilute over time. Of course, I recommend serving it over ice.
Viral - 2 oz brandy - two dashes of peppermint extract Combine these in a small vessel, like a glass jar, and jostle them around together for a few hours. I usually put the jar on my desk and give it a good shake every so often. Then put it in the freezer overnight and pour the contents through a coffee filter or similar to remove the solidified oils. A metal filter might work fine, but the cloth will absorb the oils better. You've now got fat-washed brandy that will taste like mint! Cut with plain brandy to taste.
Radiation - 1 oz lemon juice - 1 oz syrup of choice - dash of powdered cayenne pepper - 4 oz water Shake with ice and strain over fresh ice. I suggested infusing this instead and I think that would be tasty, maybe try leaving it for a day or two. You could infuse your syrup, which might work a bit better; you could heat up your syrup and steep some chili flakes in it or something, I don't know. Again, I want for accessible options here. There are definitely better ways to make your drinks spicy.
Blast - dash of powdered cayenne pepper - dash of peppermint extract Mix into a paste and drink, then regret everything and all a ton of other stuff to it to save it. Alternatively, consider not drinking this. Rethink your life and completely change your entire career overnight as part of your endless voyage toward enlightenment. Make an entire YouTube channel dedicated to Q&A and perform infinity mental jumping jacks to ascend beyond this mortal realm, then make yet another YouTube channel to hold all of the videos you aren't going to put on this channel anymore. Link those in the comments, and profit!
Gas - 2 oz brandy - two dashes of powdered cayenne pepper This will meaningfully infuse the brandy with peppery flavor if you just leave it around for a fairly short time. Mine picked up the flavor after only two or three hours, just while I was prepping this video. Again, probably cut this with plain brandy to taste. These infused, high-proof, unsweetened spirits can be really particularly good in cocktails with other things, so I don't recommend drinking them neat like I did in this video.
I hope you have fun making lots of tasty drinks! Please drink responsibly. ___

This is absolutely not a guide to the best weapons, must-have weapons, or anything like that.

This generalist Beast may be the lowest-maintenance Companion of all, while providing tons of Viral status effects and an immortal source of vacuum (well, Fetch) and Animal Instinct at the same time.
..but my goal is to introduce you to something new that you might enjoy playing with, and for a lot of people that discussion is over before it begins because of the existence of the Panzer Vulpaphyla. So, I've chosen to talk about that first, to establish a baseline!
#Warframe #Kavat #Review
In Warframe, just about anything will get the job done, so it's hard to say whether something is worth it to you or anybody else. The most useful thing to know is the opportunity cost of a slot in your loadout, so you know what you're trading away in order to get something else.
You might want some specific utility but find the options overwhelming, or you might not want to use a bunch of different Sentinels or even most Beast Companions like Kubrows or Kavats, in which case you could try using these generalists. Hopefully this will help either way! ___

Once again, this is a very long video about sandwiches, which are delicious and have many definitions, and builds or buildcraft, which is about making deliberate and delicious choices. The two make a great pair! My task is to bring more delicious 'wiches to you through the power of crowdsourcing.
And following the first WichCraft, which focused on sandwich construction and the buildcraft mechanics of ordering a sandwich's components, this second video is more focused on flavor!
I created this video using only my recording software, prerecorded segments, and a few bits of specialized hardware. The video file you're watching did not go through an editor, as stipulated by the Kickstarter terms I laid out when I requested funding. Thus, I made a few mistakes!

I recorded this video in a single take, using small prerecorded sandwich tasting segments as breaks.
In this video, I discuss a new Sentinel, the Nautilus, and the weapon it comes with, the Verglas. The Cordon and Auto-Omni precepts on the Nautilus are solid, but I think the main draw is the Verglas, a Sentinel weapon that is literally the Glaxion, a normal frame weapon that you the player uses, mounted on your Sentinel.

Also, what a huge Sentinel! What an imposing machine! Companions are always nice for Vacuum or Fetch with Animal Instinct, of course, but this one is ticking some serious boxes beyond that. Perhaps too many boxes! ___

Yes it's real, no it's not pretty how you get there. This is still probably one of the more viable builds I've shown as a Bootleg.
My demonstration of the thought process you might go through when deciding how to make a build for Nyx. This is a much more thorough discussion of individual mods than I think is normally helpful or sensible because Nyx is such a general-purpose frame with such undemanding abilities. The result is a lot of mod space and little to do with it, which presents us with the occasion to analyze it!
This video is a practical overview, not an exhaustive explanation of every aspect of Nyx's kit. If you would find that helpful, here it is: warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Nyx
Once you're comfortable with Nyx's skills, I want to show you some builds! Nyx build I: youtu.be/aYh8tm8yjwk Nyx build II: youtu.be/ShvmYtkmaPM I've omitted the titles of these builds in case you want to guess what they might be for yourself based on the teasers in this video!

Well, some of the time. This build is surprisingly wholesome in that it won't usually interrupt other players' existing elemental combos in particularly bad ways, certainly not any more than using one of these elemental buffing abilities alone would.

Yes, that totally works! Stealth is not very useful on a frame that's so naturally tanky, but you absolutely can add stealth to Grendel. Fulfill your lifelong fantasy of doing Spy missions as Grendel. See the world! Fall in love! And bring some good weapons, because this build is pulling almost none of its own weight.

Here's one way I like to do that, featuring Spectrosiphon as a way to get energy by vomiting enemies up at the right moment!

Making builds for Grendel is largely a matter of understanding how his abilities work. The mechanics may seem a bit complicated, but at the end of the day, Grendel can be a fairly simple and functional general-use frame.

The trick, then, is to decide what to do with her other tools, and I have some very juicy recommendations to stir into that pot.
