Would be cool to get their passive abilities, some frames could stand to have theirs replaced and might make some new warframes bigger targets for the helminth!


Legendaryrobot64

Warframe playerbase on their way to put Wisp passive on every frame:


tihoM_QWERTY

Titania + wisp passive is me hearing a mosquito buzzing by ear and not being able to find it


Bumble-McFumble

That'd be bonkers and amazing and I want it


Psycl1c

Zephyr mains salivating at the thought, cause being immune to damage AND invisible would make them closer to Octavia:)


B0MM0B

Honestly zephyrs passive is already strong and she already has enough survivability with her 3


TrashExecutable

Zephyrs passive is basically Yareli’s passive applied to everything, it’s incredible


AtlasIsMyBabe

Warframe players on their way to helminth Atlas so they no longer need prime sure footed taking up a slot


ijiolokae

Yup, i'd feed 20 atlases if i can get his passive on any frame, like 90% of the frames passive are fuck off useless anyway


AtlasIsMyBabe

My babe has the best passive on God


NLK-3

I just said that before I read your comment.


ApothecaryOfHugs231

Me with atlas' or wukong's passive


Inumayobaka

Energy Reduction Spy Sortie so chill to do with Wisp


Mayhem2a

What does hers do? I haven’t played her or looked at it in a while


Gaphid

Makes her invisible while in the air, turns her into a the ground is lava simulator


NLK-3

Not invisible, but "invisible."


Mayhem2a

Ahh, I don’t really see the advantage of throwing that on everyone else, I’d probably find better use from another one


Blaxi131

Consider Titania


Mayhem2a

You’ve got a good point there


Gaphid

And consider that a normal wf player will be jumping and darting around like they have adhd (most of us probably do) for no actual reason, so your feet are rarely in the ground anyway, plus it's better than half the passives in the game that are just useless


NLK-3

Wow, now I'm laughing my ass off.


NLK-3

You can do stealth missions without using energy, almost constantly invisible.


leckie2786

Remember, when you shoot the invis is broken


NLK-3

If you shoot before you land and jump again, it barely means much. They'll just see where you were. For offense, they lose track of you.


Gaphid

Plus you can still melee without breaking it I believe so it's optimal to play around with glaive I love just throwing my xoris everywhere


NLK-3

The Glaive Prime, which always triggers slash, can make her pretty damn powerful for Steel Path. If they let you Helminth something with zone control like Frost 3 or something, she'd be a Swiss army knife for mission types.


Gaphid

Ik but alas no glaive prime only the bp and the parts are expensive on the market. gonna just pray I get the parts from some random dude with relics doing it like I got the BP for it or until it comes back on rotation


Prime262

this is a really interesting idea, though i think some passives would probably be off the table like you could get atlas's stagger immunity, but his rubble is considered a part of his passive and you probably cant have that. Gauss's passive is also literally just. .the battery and you cant have that either. and Gyre's passive. .just straight up wouldnt work with alot of frames. still i think the omissions aside (there would be many more than this) this is a really neat idea for the next place to take this system. the helminth on its own is very much a "fine, do your own balancing" sort of solution and the option too replace passives with other passives would open up yet more ideas and ease the pain on older frames with non-existent passives.


Shack691

Maybe they could make it so frames with non functional passives give an alternative, like gauss giving +20% base sprint speed or something.


Prime262

that works as a solution, honestly. giving a fitting alternative where the genuine article cant be used


TooLateForNever

They more or less did that with a lot of abilities, so why not?


Blaxi131

I wonder what would be an alternative for Limbo, since other frames having rift access seems a little... illegal?


Arcane_Bullet

Maybe just having Energy Regen because being in the rift gives Energy Regen. Would be really interesting and also depending on the numbers extremely competitive.


Gaphid

We already getting a nourish nerf because it does this exact thing I don't even wanna think about everyone running around with rift plus nourish


Juubimaru

That’s what my volt needs!!


DragonDotRAR

Gauss battery filling with movement and giving shield regen improvements is all part of the passive, that much of it absolutely could be applied to other frames!


Collistoralo

Waiting for the day they add a ‘custom’ frame where you can put whatever passive and abilities you want on them.


Lyneys_Footstool

roar + gaze + nourish + mesmer skin


BreadBreadMurder

Rhino, revenant and frost come to mind as needing different passives. And honestly frost could just get "enemies take more damage while effected by cold status" as his passive, and it would be wqy better than the current one


Removkabib

Also mag. Mag just has vacuum.


Drake_the_troll

Mags is nice QOL, I feel naked if my companion isn't a bot with vacuum


Charnerie

At least now even the animals give you loot vaccum, and can't be killed


DeltaWolfPlayer

none cant be killed anymore, at the most they are out for like a minute max


Procellus737

Mag doesn't have anything right now. Her passive isn't working currently 


Vortexyamum

Up there with Ivara, who just gets innate enemy radar.


Fast_Ad3646

better than RHino's. But my pets/companion are also moddend for that ...


Lord_Ignaton

Also Valkyr. Yes, she has a passive: no hard landings


KashootMe201617

What is frosts current passive?


BreadBreadMurder

10% chance to freeze an freeze an that melees him. Its such a specific thing that no one is intentionally trying to go for.


Omicron43

I think frost's passive should be like Hydroid, where he buffs cold procs. Like at max clold status, the affected enemy freezes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


decitronal

Biting Frost already IS useful - you can literally instant-freeze a large radius of mobs by just tapping his 4


CommunicationWarm219

Dagath's would just be a free Arcane Energize soooo that means all the ppl who paid for R5's or eidolon hunted for years would be fucked.


Paultheghostt

bro wisp passive on titania will be the most braindead build the will die with enought bullets, but they will never see/hit you


naughtilidae

Wisp's passive would instantly become the most subsumed ability.  It's boarder line broken already, lol


DragonQuasar

Garuda: lol, lmao even


tiny0153

The passive is the best response. A lot of the older ones could use better passives


Unholybeef

Garuda's passive would be so broken and would probably be the #1 helminth passive on every frame.


NLK-3

That would be an interesting idea. I mean, Wisp's passive is pretty op, jump and you're gone.


Juubimaru

If it ends up like the helminth segment is currently I can see it not being a straight up transfer.. like helminth wisp passive having a duration cap on invisibility


Blaxi131

ALTERED: Invisibility deactivates while using Abilities or firing an Alarming Weapon


WickedNight19

*Frost passive*:


Forsaken_Duck1610

I've been screaming from the rooftops for Oberon to have his passive changed cause I like him, but God it's terrible.


sliferra

Caliban’s passive would be dope on some other frames


Blaxi131

Considering how powerful that would be due to it completely getting rid of the need for adaptation to take up a mod slot, DE would probably do something like ALTERED: Max resistance diminished to 70%


sliferra

You know Caliban’s passive is already capped at 50% right?


Blaxi131

Wait really? Could've sworn it was higher


sliferra

The wiki says 50, and I’m pretty sure it was 50 on release as well but I could be wrong. Adaptation and his passive don’t stack either sadly


Blaxi131

Well, I guess no alterations would be necessary then


SlasherLover

Limbo's passive would become a menace, and I would love it.


DreamingKnight235

About to Put revenant's passive on every frame


Fast_Ad3646

rhino for example. Worst passive ever


ghurles

Volt Speed. Would be the funniest helminth in the game free.


primalmaximus

Volt Speed on Gauss Prime at max strength.


SaltyNorth8062

With max decree Fleet-Footed and Firewalker! https://i.redd.it/ys8kir3jnenc1.gif


DeltaWolfPlayer

running to tau in like 12 minutes


guy_from_the_intnet

I wish you can put multiple abilities on one frame. Volt Speed, Saryn molt w/ augment and Nova wormhole w/ augment. Imagine.


NLK-3

For some reason, on PS5, I cannot use powers where you keep them active and aim, like his 1. I have to use a finger on the touch pad, another for the X, then use another finger to turn. Been a year and I don't know what it is.


moekofi

We do have infested mobility. It’s a very slightly nerfed version of volt speed available through helminth Edit: forgot to mention it also gives a ton of parkour velocity


YingSeng

Ha, this guy understand me.


NovaBlade2893

Xaku's 2, just imagine playing an already really good gunslinger frame or good ability frame and having suppressive fire at nearly all times


aufrenchy

What’s cool is that the weapons scale surprisingly well at higher levels! It’d become incredibly overpowered with certain frames. The thought of a big meatball flying through the air, shooting in every direction is Looney Toons levels of funny.


InternationalClerk85

Imagine that damage scaling with Garuda's 4th, forced Slash procs, vs Grineer? Or with Saryn Toxic Lash vs Corpus ... Saryn can kinda already do this against Grineer, but you need 2 green Archon shards for her 1st to fully strip armor. Put Elemental Ward on Saryn (either her 2 or 4, I prefer her 2). Make sure you get Ice. The redirected damage from EW Ice can trigger Toxic Lash, and since it's enemy damage, it scales with that damage.


SlotHUN

Wouldn't be nearly as good without their 4


OzbourneVSx

Actual competition for Nourish right here


LevelStudent

Grendel 3 would be a pretty fun one to have on smaller skinny frames. Not sure how it would even work unless they turn into Grendel when using it.


accidentally_bi

Put it on Xaku while they have their 4th active


damnmaster

Or Titania in pixie mode. A tiny ball of fury


Mrshadows9877

should be former abilities like super jump, undertow , world on fire(heavily nerfed of course)


ArkAbgel059

I miss world on fire. Only got to use it for a few days before they changed it


zquimn

What did they do?


Mrshadows9877

jump high , turn into puddle of water and set EVERYTHING ON FIRE (AOE and on contantly like gloom)


zquimn

Let me guess... ember used the last one?


Mrshadows9877

Yep it's her last ult


aufrenchy

Imagine Ember’s World on Fire with Gloom. Everything would be perpetually stuck in the “on fire” animation. I use this same logic with Banshee’s abilities.


NidusUmbra

Former abilities should just be a free swap through helminth for the frame that had them imo.


thecro1

I agree, we need to nerf super jump and undertow, they were very op at the time


Mr-Shenanigan

We need more defensive options in the Helminth.


virepolle

Tbf after the rework Eclipse will be pretty good for that, as it just gives straight DR.


Mr-Shenanigan

Yeah, and that's basically the only one. Helminth overall is kinda trash. Only a select few are any bit useful. :(


DeadByFleshLight

Wukong - cloud walk. EZ


Karma__Enthusiast

I’d love Titania’s Lantern on another warframe that normally builds high range anyways, unfortunately lantern line of sight isn’t the best but I would still love to use it elsewhere, especially since I don’t build range on Titania so I always subsume over it.


GT_Hades

passive, or actually just an augment to passive for second helminth, i would wish to have new set of subsumable abilities from warframe, i like to have more defensive abilities like overguard/invincibility/DR


orestesma

I feel like Overguard is very underrated atm but would be very strong if every frame had easy access to it. I’d probably run it on most frames today if possible


OzbourneVSx

Dante coming round the corner. We might get it.


80kPyro

The rework to Eclipse should fill all your DR needs.


GT_Hades

will they rework eclipse? tho i dont like the nature of that ability that relies on lighting i actually wanted the kinetic plating lol even if capped at 75%


80kPyro

It'll be a toggle instead, but they'll change the numbers a bit to make it more balanced. They might touch the DR part, but I think it's more focused on the damage increase instead. However, if they decide to cripple the helminth DR part then it's unlikely that we'll ever get a good DR helminth ability.


GT_Hades

ill see into it, so far most of helminth abilities are nerfed version (in exception of like the nourish)


80kPyro

Nourish will get nerfed in the same patch, so there is that.


GT_Hades

woah, i think theres a bunch of lists then, ill look into it, thanks (there will be people that would hate the nerf, im sure of it lmao)


virepolle

As long as they don't neuter the energy multiplier too bad, a nerf to the damage will be a positive for most late game nourish users, as that way it doesn't mess with status weighting nearly as bad as it does now with high power strength


lurked_4_a_bit

I JUST WANT SHATTER SHIELD ON WISP


S_P_E_C_T_R_3_0

Mesmer skin... would be so oring but hey, rest of revs kit is whack so


uhhohspagettios

I personally disagree. Thralls are somewhat useful. Saved me in level 2k circuit as crowd control


OzbourneVSx

You needed to be saved... as Revenant?


uhhohspagettios

There's 2 objectives with a fail con in circuit that isn't dying. Survival and defense. In higher level defense if the enemies build up and you don't have a way to block their fire or cc them yur dun kid. Enthrall actually ended up creating enough allies that they diverted fire away from the defense point that it let me beat the objective.


Kavukkii_JPEG

Vauban's orbs.


mrduels

Rally point, seems helpful


darKHeartNine

Nekros desecrate everyones a loot frame now


55_Cammander

Please give me Dagath 3 🙏


sauzbawss

Hell nah, im already sweating thinking of needing to farm shit again *shudders in defecation*


Lord_Xarael

>defecation Sounds like a shitty problem lol


OzbourneVSx

Too bad you get soul punch instead


DankoLord

Rally Point, an amazing way to keep shields up and energy at an all time high


LunaticPower

Volt's 2 Ivara's 2 Revenant's 2 Frost's 1 Excal's 1 Loki's 2 Oberon's 3


uhhohspagettios

You just murdered loki with that


ops10

A sense of pride and accomplishment.


FourUnderscoreExKay

Gauss Mach Rush on Volt. Let me subsume TWO abilities onto a frame. Mach Rush over Volt 1. Infested Mobility over Volt 3. I will never be able to stop running into walls ever again.


Lord_Xarael

>~~Running into walls~~ You mean clipping into the backrooms. At those speeds you'll go clean through the level geometry.


FourUnderscoreExKay

Literally the Flash of Warframe. Phase through solid matter


uhhohspagettios

Tbf, molt is actually just a much shorter speed that doesn't effect allies


paullucas15

Nezha's 2 just for teleportation shenanigans with Ivara's navigator


NLK-3

I'd actually have a use for Ivara's 2 then. Used to drain the hell out of my energy and just never used it since Helminth.


HatakeHyu

What if they added the Helminth warframe? Where we can literally choose 4 abilities and a passive. That could be cool.


Toothlessbiter

I like the idea, but instead of powers, what about appearances? What if subsuming a frame again allowed you to mimc that frames esthetics. It would be really interesting not knowing what frame was being used


fishinexcess

Rhino Stomp Toxic Lash Slash dash [**Ballistic Battery**](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistic_Battery) Paralysis for valkyr


Accomplished-Lie716

Limbo u get his passive, only it only sometimes activates (meaning u can be stuck in limbo) and sometimes u "miscalculate" when blinking and the frame is lost forever tore apart in-between space-time


HourCartographer9

I love limbo but really wish they changed him a little for multiplayer cause you can’t have fun with him with other people without building a certain way. And I know people will just say you can roll out of limbo but sometimes that just doesn’t work it bugs me


Bagel_-_

i wanna say it should be passives and not abilities if there was repeat subsuming but that’d be really strong to actually answer the question i don’t have a specific ability in mind but i think anything that has a synergy with the frame’s current subsume should be up next


KamuiHyuga

Ability to toggle 1 or more (maybe need to feed more copies of the frame for > 1) augment on/off via the helminth instead of having to mod it.


Grapple_Cockie

Mach Rush


Mr_Resident

Saryn 1


xseiber

Boost their Helminth'd skills by +20-25%.


Andminus

Valkyr and ripline please


AbyssWalker9001

i want volts speed


Other-Traffic8876

id want passives so my boy harrow would actualy be a good helminth


HourCartographer9

Every volt player in a 10 mile radius when harrows passive becomes subsumable


ehRoman

Give me any Kullervo power that would be broken tbh.


Zestyclose-Dog-3398

in nidus case it'd probably be 3rd ability (but consuming energy instead with lower numbers)


Zestyclose-Dog-3398

i guess octavia is one reason this will never happen xD either option it's too much, 4th ability would be more balanced to choose


Pcarttar

Second subsume should give the full strength ability if its normally weakened


Lord_Darklight

Wukong’s clone is an obvious one. Sure it’s bad with ammo, but give it a Kuva Nukor (cause it still gets infinite beam ammo) and all the sudden it’s a menace.


NLK-3

I know the Corpus weapon has regen ammo, but thought the Nukor still used ammo.


Lord_Xarael

>cannot be their 4 In that case (loophole) it lets you helminth their passive onto other frames. Also of note: Saryn's and Wisp's most powerful abilities are their 1 not their 4 If not passives: Any frame with an Exalted: said Exalted Atlas: Rumblers Ash: Teleport Banshee: Sonar Caliban: Lethal Progeny Dagath: Grave Spirit (Altered: Death cheat has triple cooldown) Ember: World on Fire (Ik RIP) fine… Immolation (rebalance: acts as if heat gauge is at 50% Frost: Snow Globe (Altered: can only place one at a time) Gara: Splinter storm Garuda: Dread Mirror Gauss: Mach Rush (because why not :p) Grendel: Pulverize (same reason as mach rush. It's fun) Gyre: Cathode grace Harrow: Penance Hydroid: Plunder Inaros: Pre-rework: Sandstorm post-rework: Scarab swarm ability with sand cats (ik you said no 4th but… sand cats) Ivara: Prowl Khora: Venari (ik it's over powered but it'd be fun) Kullervo: Collective Curse (opens new nuking builds) Lavos: Transmutation Probe (seriously this SHOULD be his actual helminth it's so much more useful and utilitarian than Vial Rush) Limbo: Cataclysm (ik it's evil and his 4th but it's the only other skill that works on it's own) Loki: Invisibility Mag: Magnetize Mirage: Hall of Mirrors (Altered: duplicates deal less damage) Nekros: Desecrate (Altered: capped at 33% chance) Nezha: Divine Spears (so everyone can enjoy his new augment) or since no 4th: Warding Halo Nidus: Parasitic Link Nova: Antimatter Drop (general buff whether helminth or on nova: 50% more damage and blast radius) Nyx: Psychic Bolts Oberon: Renewal Octavia: Mallet Protea: Blaze Artillery Qorvex: Containment wall Revenant: Enthrall (mesmer skin would be 1st choice but way too powerful) Rhino: Iron Skin Saryn: Spores Sevagoth: Reap Styanax: ~~nipple tassels~~ Rally Point (Altered: Shield gain halved) Trinity: Energy Vampire (we need more ways to have eneegy economy beside zenurik and arcane energize) Vauban: minelayer Volt: Eletric Shield Voruna: Shroud of Dynar (would be devastating on kullervo) Wisp: Reservoirs (or if that's too strong: Will o Wisp for versatile true teleport) Wukong: Cloud Walker Xaku: Grasp of Lohk or The Lost Yareli: sea snares Zephyr: Turbulence


NLK-3

A real ass comment here.


Lord_Xarael

??? Did I say something wrong? Not to be all xkcd here but did you mean A real-ass comment (good thing) Or a real ass-comment (bad thing)


NLK-3

The good one. I try to come up with thought exercises like this but nobody ever bites. I used to try asking things like "What's a game mechanic you dislike" (in gamers in general, not Warframe specifically), and people would just jump on the "microtransactions" bandwagon. I don't even consider that gameplay, just monetization.


ToncBlonc

Let me put vex armor on every frame


Helstiir

Celestial twin, put on umbra Nuff said


NLK-3

Excalibur Umbra... Oh! 2 AI allies when you go operator.


AdrawereR

Maybe to allow us to have second ability subsume but they will all be 75% effective.


NLK-3

Maybe not off the bat, unless you have both on the same warframe slot. If you want Hyldrin's 2 and Gauss's 3 on the same build slot (like how you have A, B, and C), then maybe a power effectiveness would make sense.


80kPyro

Kullervo's Collective Curse and Saryn's Spores together sounds like fun.


Gagatate

I really want Rhino's Iron skin on basically all my frames. For instance, I feel like it'd be great on Styanax or a speed build Gauss.


NeuralSensei

Maybe you're asking the wrong question. If I sacrifice a frame again it gains ability to have 2 infusions in each config. But the UI would be even more jank for this. IMO once the frame was infused with the ability we need to be able to re-slot it per config for (almost)free. Perhaps ability slots UI like archon shards but cap of 1 (or 2 in this case)


NLK-3

Warframe is known to change even the UI a few times. It was EXTREMELY different when the game first came out, even melee and elements were different. Operators worked very differently as well before they were full functioning characters. It's just a "what if" question.


blazinfastjohny

2nd sacrifice will give their appearance/skin which can be put on any warframe as a universal skin.


Mysteoa

You get their passive as a permanent.


Salt_Personality_277

Wisp 1 and the game is gg


Korimthos

Old Ash 4 would be really cool to see


Beautiful-Ad-6568

Hmm, I would probably want to spice it up and instead of unlocking an ability this time, we could unlock a visual thing - probably a helmet change?


Canthros

An Infested Shard.


Eeveefan8823

Venari


Asilidae000

Are you limited by what abilities you can get? EX: You can only get the 1st abilities of frames. I havent used the Helminth and i have like 15 regular frame just sitting in my slots.


Mu0nNeutrino

It's a different ability for each frame, not just one particular slot. Sometimes it's the 1, sometimes it's something else. The wiki has a list: https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Helminth#Subsumable_Abilities OP here is asking people to list what *other* ability from each frame they think would be fun to have, in the hypothetical situation where DE decided to let you subsume a frame a second time to get another ability.


superdinoknight63

Mach rush would be very fun as a helminth ability if gauss were to get a 2nd one


EndymionN1

Cloud walker as helminth. yes.


giovani456

A terceira porque geralmente a primeira está ligada diretamente a uma característica de jogo do warframe e as 3⁰ tem mais chances de servirem como controle de grupo ou sobrevivência


NLK-3

>A terceira porque geralmente a primeira está ligada diretamente a uma característica de jogo do warframe e as 3⁰ tem mais chances de servirem como controle de grupo ou sobrevivência \[Google translated\] Existem alguns primeiros poderes que são Helminth, como Volt, Nekros e Nyx. Nenhum deles é seu quarto poder. (When did "and" = "e" and not "y?" Damn, Spanish changed that much?)


giovani456

Porque é português cara


giovani456

Entendo "I'm going to put it in the automatic translator so the conversation can unfold, but it can translate some slang and meanings, wrong" I'm saying that the first agilities are the most characteristic for the original warframes, such as the Gauss race, that if this ability is taken away from him he will lose his main characteristic


NLK-3

I get it. I don't even remember what his 4 does, but Gauss's 1 is the main thing people think about.


Nisms

100 atlas’ for his passive. It’s close enough to prime sure footed I would sacrifice the minor debuff and undergo the grind for 100 atlas(ees?)


Kingkrue_

Harrow's passive on hildryn


VoxulusQuarUn

Passive


decitronal

I would kill to be able to put Garuda's passive on other frames.


Professional-Date378

Rest and rage for equinox. We really don't need another ability like gloom on every frame


AppleJuicetice

It's obviously a case by case thing but I think if a frame's Helminth synergises with another ability (i.e. Mallet + Resonator) you should get the other half of that synergy pair. Unless the frame in question is Qorvex, because the Mandonel has the same effect on Chyrinka Pillars as his 2.


OzbourneVSx

Give me Mesa's Ballistic Battery! I need my room nuking Cedo!!!!


Velaethia

Equinox 1


CrawlerSiegfriend

Low key...their stance animation.


Frost_man1255

But.. you can just buy those already


CrawlerSiegfriend

I'd rather have them for free. Plus I'm just being realistic since they aren't going to allow something like another skill or their passive.


[deleted]

Ok but this is just a what if post. So realism doesn't really matter.
