Is Ivara worth my sanity?

[hotohori]

Jesus, I had an easier time farming immortal reactors from the raging Brachydios in Monster Hunter 4, at least that was entertaining. 5.64% chance of dropping more like 0.64%.

Between Ceres and Saturn I did more or less 150 missions in a row (I lost count after awhile) I mean, I'm up for some hard rng based drops, but this Chassis... I got the other parts in a very reasonable number of tries. I'm really that unlucky? I know other people adressed some problems with this concrete part in the past.

funny how some people actually think ivara's not good at anything, or barely good only in spy missions (ivara's actually BY FAR the best spy frame, just press invis ignore everything and walk to the console). artemis bow is insane and you can fire it while being invisible. also, you can still roll while invisible without breaking it, even while airborne. also, a good player uses invis only when under attack (or doing a spy room) so the speed really isnt an issue.

ivara is a top tier frame.

Looking at the past replies is truly sad. There are some people who still seem to think that ivara is just a worse, slower loki.

I got all her parts within 20 spy missions.. only taking the neuroptics and blueprint to drop after around 8 tries on kappa. But by the time you get all her parts, you will be cake walking most of the spy missions without even having to touch her. But dont get me wrong.. you can use ivara for various types of missions and can be a very useful utility frame..
Nightmare Capture missions? Just shoot 3 cloaking arrows at teammates and watch them sprinting throught this enemies and effortlessly unlock the prison.. Prisoner is squishy? Give him one clock arrow too.. and just sprint your way to the exit..
Survival? Press 3 and walk among the enemies like a boss while slaughtering anything that you find amusing.. While also pickpocketing them for LF and energy. and btw dont forget to let your teammates use your ziplines for 100% crit on weapons or use your clock arrow to negate any status effects for the team (with proper augment mode).
Exterminate missions? Press 4 and tap-shoot everything to oblivion.
Boss fights? Slap a covert lethality mod on a dagger and feel like a God.. xD
Don't let others limit your imagination on how to use her.
And yes.. she is worth it.. ^^

greetings, I reccomend avoiding Ivara. Instead opt for Limbo which can solo, easy clear any Corpus spy, and to some extent the grineers.

For areas where you need stealth, this can EASILY be remedied by going operator and switching back to limbo on those laser parts.

Finally, Limbo has an added bonus of being useful for all things protection related.

Limbo is boring as ♥♥♥♥ tho and ruins the experience for everyone.

Oh you dont enjoy sitting in a bubble doing nothing? ♥♥♥♥ you, Im Limbo.

You see, my problem with limbo is that it's ugly as ♥♥♥♥, aside from the fedora thing the design is not my thing and his skills don't suit my playstyle

I use Ivara to reliably farm Axi relics in solo Interception on Xini. Was that worth getting her for me? .....

Definitely yes.

She's also handy for those stealth Nightwave challenges, and can easily solo The Wolf with a good Blood Rush melee. I took him down Lvl 35 in about 60-100 seconds while on my weekly Ayatan mission from Maroo. Stealth modifier is no joke.

She's great for various other tasks, such as farming Condroc Wings with her Sleep Arrow, etc although I believe Tusk Thumpers make this somewhat obsolete.

She's also a fairly popular endurance run frame. Who needs to nuke or be tanky when you can just casually strut around killing everything in sight? I recommend getting a good Heavy Blade to use Tempo Royale with or pairing her with a 100% Status Redeemer Prime.

Honestly, Loki is better in terms of stealth missions. I pretty much use him whenever I need to do spy, capture, or assassination missions as well. I had gotten Ivara way before Loki, and over time I realized I disliked having to move slow and roll to get anywhere.

I recommend just playing spy levels and not focusing on grinding for Ivara too much, since after a while you'll get all the pieces by playing spy missions casually. You could always try and find rare mods that drop from spy missions that you'd like, that way if the mod drops instead, it'll feel like less of a grind overall. If you want to make it easier, you could farm for Loki, as his invisibility pretty much makes everything a speedrun.

[xCrossFaith]

Yeah totally, paired with Mirage Prime for best girl aesthetically speaking imho :P

But as said by some other comments, she is not meant to evaporate full rooms of enemies, but to silently kill everyone, she is a very effective, but slow paced frame... Unless you build her for Artemis concentrated arrow and start negating the existance of everything in sight.

I love to use her just to roam around the open worlds too ^^

why the hell would anyone choose limbo over ivara especially on ANY spy mission? limbo gets detected by cameras and lasers. ivara is undetectable by everything. which one to choose? you picked limbo so i guess you dont know what you're talking about.

you also seem to forget about the artemis bow which is pretty much the best exalted weapon in the game that you can also use while being invisible. why pick limbo to "defend" when you can just ivara and melt everything. sure limbo has its uses but we're talking about overall quality here.

because Limbo mains are not that good at the game so they compare two different warframes.

In all honesty Limbo is broken as balls, but as such lower skill players will adore him and there is no way around it. When mission is hard they only do Limbo.

Ivara's Artemis Bow is sick, arguably best exalted weapon as Dex Pixia scales better, but with all Ivara's buffs, headshot damage and critical damage it can be a pretty close call.

But Limbo players do not see that as an approach, only avoiding doing stuff.

Limbo as far as Corpus spy is concerned does NOT get detected by the lasers. Limbo can litterally press 4( and maybe 2 for good measure) to break all the cameras, small note that Ivara cannot go past some of the gimmicks without the Syndicate mod regardless.

Ivara parts has a low drop chance(9/5.5/7.5%) on top of being annoying to get via a fully successful spy mission.

To say why pick Limbo over Ivara is the same as saying why pick Frost over Ivara. Whatever floats your boat...

If you have numerous hours to spend, for Ivara sure go for it, but there are frames that are signficantly easier to obtain time-wise, hell if you are good at farming plat I'd reccomend buying over farming for her. She is really that bad in terms of obtaining.

I personally wish I've waited for Ivara Prime to come out. Being that Equinox Prime is signficiantly easier to obtain then the normal counter-part.

As a side note to others, bashing a frame and specifically players of a frame is a sure-fire way to lose credibility as it comes out as incredibly bias.

It's a very straightforward grind, it doesn't require you to have anything other than access to the planets.They're also pretty easy to run, let's be real. And if you need to rank up a lot of weapons quickly this is a pretty solid grind to get it done.

[A Old Man]

Anyways, viability of the frames aside. Is it worth the grind? Check the following wikipage for expected/near guaranteed drop rate, figure out the time of your solo runs and determine yourself.
At least in Monster Hunter it was more engaging then this. It wasn't worth my sanity.

For sure Ivara is worth getting. It's just so much fun using an artemis bow build.
