Helminth Grows a New Appetite: 30.5 Update!
Tenno,
The Helminth System is being expanded. This system has been quite popular with players who really enjoy deep customization, so we’re doing 2 things:
- Adding 5 more Ranks and 5 new ‘Helminth’ Abilities.
- Adding a new system: INVIGORATIONS!
You can watch a video explanation as part of our Video Dev Workshop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4wt-4Bx3Cg
NEW HELMINTH ABILITIES With the help of our trusty Design Council, the Helminth has been injected with new Helminth Abilities! Each one unlocks at one of the new Helminth Ranks (11,12,13,14,15)!
PARASITIC ARMOR (11) Sacrifice Shields to reinforce Armor for a period of time
HIDEOUS RESISTANCE (12) Grant yourself immunity to Status effects.
VORACIOUS METASTASIS (13) Consume Energy to heal yourself and grant matching Energy to each ally.
SICKENING PULSE (14) Emit a pulse that adds stacks to Status Effects already afflicting enemies, except Bleed or Toxin effects which are duplicated with fresh timers.
GOLDEN INSTINCT (15) Send out a short-lived Void Spark that is drawn toward the nearest Medallion, Ayatan Sculpture, unscanned Kuria or unscanned Fragment.
INTRODUCING: INVIGORATIONS
Son has been busy developing new bio-technologies for Helminth. Visit SON in the Necralisk on DEIMOS to obtain the New Segment required to upgrade your Helminth to perform a new operation: Invigorations!
Our main objective with this system expansion is really simple: give players a way to engage with Warframes they may not have used in a while!
Here’s how it will work:
Every week, your Helminth will have an Affinity toward 3 Random Warframes. You can interact with Helminth with these Warframes to gain select Weekly Buffs (one Offensive and one Utility/Defense)! For example:
Zephyr: 200% Power Strength and Immune To Status
Atlas: 200% Primary Critical Chance and +1000 Armor
Excalibur: 250% Melee Damage and 75% power Efficiency
These will be drawn randomly per player. Tenno can check their Helminth during the Weekly reset to see what Invigorations are available for the week. Once you infuse the Invigoration, it lasts the week before the power of the Helminth wears off.
To give players some control over what will be very powerful buffs, the Helminth takes note of your interactions - for every 10 Invigorations you do, you’ll be able to Select what Warframe receives the next buff!
As of now, the Segment will cost 30,000 Entrati Standing and will be available once you hit the rank of Family. Get your Family tokens ready, Tenno!
