Hotfixes have been coming steadily sinceWarframe’slatest big update, and mostly, these include minor balance changes and bug fixes. Butthis latest hotfixhas some interesting changes to Koumei, Caliban, and some new rewards, too, that are worth keeping in mind.
TheKoumei & the Five Fatesupdate has already brought with it a ton of changes to the game, including anew Warframe, arework of companions, amajor overhaul for Caliban,new Incarnons,QOL, and more. For the latest in what’s happening inWarframe, though, keep reading.
Changes to the newest Warframe, Koumei
TheWarframecommunity’s reception of Koumeihas been mixed. Most agree she isn’t aterriblecharacter by any means, but many had hoped she’d be more powerful. Accordingly, some gamers want to see her buffed. This hotfix, to that end, does bring some buffs to the table:
These aren’t huge changes, but actually completing Koumei’s decree challenges has been an issue, especially with more frustrating ones, like wall-latch kills. After this update, thankfully, the wall-latch kill challenge will be easier, and challenges, in general, will be easier to complete, particularly in co-op when playing with Warframes that can quickly demolish an entire map.
Buffs to one of Warframe’s strongest characters: Caliban
Caliban wasWarframe’sweakest character for a long time, butKoumei & the Five Fatesturned a forgettable Warframe into one of the game’s toughest. Surprisingly, this hotfix makes him even stronger, thanks to a few particular bug fixes that are essentially buffs:
Caliban’s summons are already quite strong, but now they’ll be even stronger since buffs that should have applied to them (both from Caliban’s build itself as well as from other Warframes) weren’t being applied. Great news for the Calibros out there who run summon-heavy builds.
Plague Star rewards have returned to Warframe
According to Digital Extremes, the Plague Star event was too difficult to fit into theWarframecalendar this year with the launch ofKoumei & the Five Fatesas well as the upcoming 1999 update, but the developer is still opening up access to the rewards of the event.
Head on over to Deimos, talk to Daughter, and access her ‘Narberus Treats’ offerings to purchase the following rewards formerly from the Plague Star event:
For the unintiated, these are Zaw components. You can use these to build your own custom melee weapons, while the Exodia items are Zaw Arcanes. You can use those to make a Zaw, once built, even stronger. These items are tradeable, but you can only earn them in-game from the event.
