Just making sure you’re aware that this frame exists, because this is the second round of new augment mods in a row where newer frames have gotten augments before him.

I know no one plays Caliban, and their entire kit was essentially superceded by Styanax’s, and their casts are slow and clunky, but we’ve gotten bandaid mods for newer frames before them.

For a frame that came out with the New War, it’s funny how much they’re forgotten about

    Caliban really drew the shortest stick possible. Mediocre abilities, drops from the awful Cetus/Fortuna bounties and requires a resource that can only be acquired in Railjack, and only 1 per mission. If not for him appearing in Circuit sometimes, I would have completely forgot he even exists. Sadly I don’t think he’s gonna get much love until either DE gives him a Deluxe skin or his Prime comes out (which won’t be for a very very long time).

      I think the worst part about his kit is that his passive is a worse Adaptation (especially for how far into the game you start farming him). They also do not stack with each other.

        You are right, I completely forgot about that part! He’s even more sad than I remembered.

    The Roflstomper! He kicks Styanax ass all day. Sty is actually a pretty shitty Warframe. Caliban is cool! Grouping on 1 and you have a pretty solid defense stripping frame. I love using him with Pull and a melee focused loadout.

    I do want to play him. I’ve just never gotten around to getting that specific building material from railjack missions :<

      It’s the worst, for such a mediocre frame. Just ignore it, Helminth is not really important. For MR, maybe. But there are other ways.

    Caliban is really fun. If you want a challenge…But not worth the grind. Just like Grendel (oh, Im getting shit for this…)

    I really tried. Formad’ it to perfection. Helminth was the only option…

      Grendel is good if you’re carrying a newer player that wants to get kills and contribute. Caliban is just ok
