How good is Limbo Prime

[Freazer]

Looks sick as but how viable is he?

[FeLiinG]

A beast

[Dubstep_Samurai]

If you know how to use Limbo he is very good. Must have.

[Walrus-Sama]

He is a God. Perfection.

[Venrez]

Rubbish.

Everyone will hate you for using Limbo in any capacity on any mission.

I do not reccomend.

9/10 Limbo players do so purely to troll others. There are a very select few who use his powers well and within reason for actual benefit. But the visual effects and noise of his Rift nonsense makes me immediately quit any mission with Limbo present.

- - -

Strictly speaking though, he has very limited, but annoying functionality.

He can effortlessly glide through missions in the Rift and be completely immune to literally everything except being inside a Corpus Nullifier bubble. However, it has since been changed that you cannot hack consoles while in the Rift, reducing his effectiveness on Spy Missions.

However, this does mean he can effortlessly revive anyone on the ground without having to switch to Operator mode or any other invisible / shield mechanics so that you are not shot to hell while standing still.

-

His 4th bubble ability is immensely annoying for the visual bull that it causes, but does have some use. Enemies outside the rift cannot damage entities within the rift, and vice versa. A semi-viable alternative to Frost... but then you should just use Frost instead so that the game doesnt look like you've taken 10 acid tablets.

His 4th also has a duration, unlike Frost's "permanent" snowglobe.

-

His 4th can be rapidly cast and cancelled to deal damage to enemies within its area of effect, but that makes the entire map look like you've taken 10 acid tablets, only it strobe-lights on and off and gives everyone an epileptic fit.

Just bring Equinox, Saryn, Mesa, Nova, Ember or any number of other AoE Warframes for this role instead.

-

Whilst in the Rift, you passively regenerate energy. Can be useful for yourself or other team mates in a support role, but you are better off bringing Trinity for Energy Vampire without the game looking like you've taken 10 acid tablets.

-

He can semi-permanently freeze enemies in the rift. But why bother when you can just outright kill them and remove them from the equation altogether.

-

If you want to play Limbo, you better get used to the sound of diving underwater and resurfacing again. A hundred times per mission. Entering and leaving the Rift.

Usefull for captures, spy, MD, Interception, exterm you name it. You clearly know nothing about him if you think that MD is his only use..

[Yeti.^^]

Imagine being able to make any missions easy.That'd be limbo.

Looks dumb actually. Feel free to use him but please don't troll other players.

[TwistedKarma]

Lately with the influx of new people and the new prime variant, there has been more people playing limbo but saying that, I have seen more sensible players as limbo there will be maybe 1 out of 5 players as limbo who will troll, much better than it was before where nearly all limbo players was trolling which gave limbo a bad name.
Half the time I don't notice a limbo in my group and respect the ones who do play him well.
The best missions for limbo is rescue and protect certain targets in the sortie.

He's pretty good for endless defensive missions like survival, defense, and MD if you know what you're doing.

Don't try to take him to Sanctuary Onslaught or Interception tho, could cause a whole heap of trouble.

You mean Dio Prime

[Grey Star, The Rival Defender]

In the end game he’s capable of freezing swaths of enemies, and using a specially modded melee weapon achieve a damage amount higher than anything else in the game. He is the absolute end all be all for pure weapon damage, but that is only in a very particular case.

The other posters named his more conventional strengths, and I will not repeat them. Consult them for advice.

[Decagon]

S tier.
D tier if you join randoms.
