Is Hildryn good?

[narcolepsy]

well is it

Yes, her 4 is a great cc when built for range and her 1 does a good amount of damage to clear enemies a little over 100.

From my brief experience while leveling her on Hydron: first ability is excellent, second ability is good, third is questionable at best, fourth is utterly useless. She has a neat unique dash animation (similar to Limbo's) when rolling, and can be made pretty tanky between abilities, mods, and arcanes. All and all she makes a good "just for fun" frame, but is unlikely to see the light of day in any of Warframe's metas.

Don't hover high in the air. Stay low on the ground. The lower you are the more range the CC effect will spread. If you have some range mod on, you can cover a good amount of grounds and just pick off all the floating mobs with her 1.

Her play style hasn't really grabbed me.

But since her energy are her shields, you can use her to cheese "energy drain" nightmare missions. She also is unaffected by "energy reduction" in sorties.

Personally she has become my new favorite frame and my go to for most situations.

[Sceles]

No, she's Staticor.

She's fine as a generalist, but doesn't really seem to have a specialised niche, so that can be taken either as a good thing or a bad thing

I think the best thing about her is that she makes the best use of a commodity that is pretty useless otherwise (shields and shield buffs), and she's built pretty well around shield sustainability. Overall she seems like a great proof-of-concept in that regard

She also has some interesting synergies with things like the Perrin Sequence AoE (Radiation proc + 25% shields restored) and any sentinel with Guardian can potentially make her immortal

This is because her 4th ability is basically an invisible sphere of influence.

Meaning it is sphere shaped.

Hildryn can be brutally effective if you are willing/able to take a different mod/build path to what is mostly offered. Low duration (helps 2 but hinders 3 for squad regen) and high efficiency with some range works well. Needs some high level mods to shine.

She can fit so many different roles from making her squad (and companions) almost immortal with her 2, extra shields, shield gating and faster regen, to making defence trivial by cc anything that gets close.

If you have a Raksa Kubrow (much better then sentinels and no arcane required) you can keep your 1, 3 and 4 up indefinitely as the protect mod can recharge any drain, especially if you add efficiency. As the 4 will drop energy orbs which recharge shields you will also be fairly tanky to all but toxic and bleed damage which can be cleansed off with her 2 (as long as not using 4).

I really enjoy her for T5 bounties for during defence stages as she can just hold everyone with her 4 (armored vaults) or add shield gating with her 3 (for probes) or just blast everything with her 1. I've also been able to do some sorties I'd normally avoid with her as her kit is fairly adaptable.

If you want an immortal SHIELD user (just put arcane barrier stacked with armor) that has absolutely absurd CC abilities, including but not limited to; flying. Then "she?" is the warframe for you!

[Spartykins]

people say she's bad but she becomes immortal vs the corpus if you spam 2

[Archwraith]

Just don't bring her against infested. It won't end well. Otherwise, she's very good.

[No_Quarter]

she is self sufficient and strong and tanky, her 1 is fun (apart from raping you mobility and having stupid delay to start jumping or moving fast after you fire, but you can dash for some stupid reason) , her 2 makes sense, 3 awkward, ♥♥♥♥ dat 4 I really dislike it but those who like awkward movement and love struggling with verticality may enjoy it. I do not enjoy such limitations.

She strong. I do not like to play her tho, not really enjoyable for me - if I want a tank I can use better one like Nezha, if I want a support I can use better one like Oberon or Trinity or even Equinox. Mend is such a better option and if you slap Adaptation on Equinox and use Pacify and Mend on occasion you are easily as tanky if not more.

Can't put my finger on it, feel like there are a lot of forced synergies within Hildryn and I understand she is strong as she is, I just do not find clicking any of the buttons as Hildryn enjoyable.

she basically portable vauban with infinite energy ( she used shield as energy)
with arcane aegis and arcane barrier
her 4 can last forever. ( your will regain more shield than you lost)

also hildryn can generate large amount of energy orb for allies

if you have arcane energize equipped
- you can help to restore allies energy by just picking up the energy orb..

.: also arcane energize can still restore energy even while having channeling abilities active.

in other word by excalibur with exalted blade / mesa with her 4 / revenant 4 will still able to regenerate energy while having the ability active

===================================================================

You can exit out of hildryn with Operator while having her 4 active

very useful if you want to heal your teammate with vazarin protective dash
