is inaros one of the best frames without archon shards?

[evinate]

so i just got myself inaros prime,and i started investing a little bit on him,i got him an orokin reactor and without any formas,without any shards or helminths,and with a mod slot being empty(6 cap. left),and not even max rank he took me thrpugh a steel path level without even being halfway dead and because of that i think that inaros is easily one of the best frames without high investment

[Fake]

Octavia is the Warframe that you want if you don't have all the mods or shards.

Press 1, 2, 3, spam crouch, 4.

[evinate]

another reason i like inaros is i start the game with low energy so i just press 1 and i do a finisher and the rest i do when i get my energy it's so nice

[evinate]

i've tried revenant too but honestly im better with inaros

[Illusive Soul]

Inaros can tank 500 level enemy and above, but pass 700 - 800, you start notice he cant catch up anymore.

Revenant can tank until a nullifier drops by surprise from the level above removing your buff.
Then the next shot kills you because enemies are level 9999.

Meanwhile Inaros Prime equiped with all AIR GLIDE damage reduction mods, aerodynamic aura, coaction drift and adaptation, still reaches 4000+ life, 2000 armor from arcane/skill, awesome life regen from arcane grace, and 99,999999999% damage reduction while being able to destroy enemies while gliding in the air for nearly a minute.

Yea the Inaros modded the way I described can stay still in the air and REGEN from damage of enemies level 9999 and Nullifier bubbles do not remove his tanking capability.

yeah but couldn't revenant do that too?

Can't say I have ever really felt any dire need to invest much into shards in general, but yellows are fun on anything for bullet-jump strength

[Zukabazuka]

His abilities are for life stealing, gathering up and distracting enemies and including armoring up. So I generally bring a really strong weapon when ever I use him. But yes he can tank all main content and easily do Steel path without much of a problem from being killed. One of the stalker putting Magnetic skill on you resulting in you killing yourself do happen.

I like Nidus more than Inaros. He has better abilities to help him but can also get nullified easily. Not to mention his undying buff. So you don't have to be concerned about getting one shot. This also can be activated in the Arbitrations as it didn't count as dying. Other ability that works in the Arbitrations have high cooldowns or limited use but Nidus's undying doesn't have one (as long as you have mutation left).

But if I have to say which one is stronger, I gonna say Inaros. Because unlike Nidus where he has high Armor and low Health. Inaros can have both high Armor and high Health. I just like Nidus's abilities more.

A decent build of Inaros have a really hard time dying in Arbitrations missions.

You'd have to go AFK for some time before that will happen. Dying in Steel path is hard enough with him.

Nice tank

ok but his 4 gives dmg vunerabillity right?im pretty sure it does cause i kill WAY faster with enemies who are being effected by my 4

Inaros is a solid warframe if the situation and environment don't value your abilities. Inaros's high base life and average level armor allow him to be a solid "space marine" type choice for players as Rhino allows early game focusing on his Iron Skin and high shields to average life and armor combination. For steel path where the game heavily neuters our damage and ability use, Inaros is a very solid choice and works well in endless runs where you need to turn your brain off and focus on just surviving until the time is up. When Inaros moves work, they are more around small bonuses or setting up sync kills which are always useful. Take what you can and all that.

If your build isn't strong enough you still can get one shot. Which didn't happen easily but having something to prevent that happen two times in a row is nice. I did talk from my experience. Also, I play Solo. That is why Nidus's undying is more reliable in the Arbitrations.

Nidus has a very nice synergy of ability already. So it is hard for him to subsume any ability that increases the damage output. I normally subsume Xata's Whisper to replace ability 1 in Inaros to increase his damage (especially to Overguard). However, I subsume Tharros Strike to replace ability 4 in Nidus because it can heal him and can completely remove enemies' Armor in one use.

So, yeah, I still like Nidus more even with Inaros's rework. Inaros's 4th ability does decrease enemies' armor by applying Corrosive Stacks. But there are already a ton of armor-stripping abilities. If his 4th ability can work with enemies that resist armor-stripping, I might like Inaros more.

One shot where? Arbitrations? No, that just isn't possible. He has too much health+armor to stop this from happening.
Lets just say you fill out the slots in your warframe with normal mods and focus on health, armor speed and power strength. Inaros will be so strong nothing in Arbitration will be able to one shot you. If you get the stronger mods this will be even harder for the enemy.

I've run plenty of Steel Path and nothing have just one shot my Inaros. I run all 3 Umbral mods along with other stuff. Over 8k health and over 1k armor. He has 3 blue shards too where 2 are tau forged. The shards do very little though.
