#Warframe #Update #Kullervo

[numbjuhnu]

Couple facts: Kullervo is probably named after a charcter of the same name from Finnish National Epic, _Kalevala_ . The name was suggested by community coordinator Helen Heikkilä who apparently has Finnish roots. Hyvä Helen!


This can be backed up with his weapon, Rauta, which in Finnish means Iron.

[lyotesharaia]

Try Corufell. Probably bugged, but holding heavy attack to chain the shots on Kullervo stops the combo timer and doesn't eat any combo.
It just becomes an infinite ammo bullet hose dropping insane redcrits at an insane pace.

[grummdoesstuff]

He’s an interesting frame because I think he’s the first real glass cannon frame we have. Also he, ironically, is probably the best frame to fight kullervo in duviri with.

[vonrelevanz]

Kullervo's third gets useful when you are over 200% strength aka 100% damage distribution to linked enemies.
He can be both, a teleporting swordsman and a caster. If you want to add a subsumed ability, choose wisely and think twice about how you want to play him.
Him not having any form of i-frames actually can become quite a problem when you face an enemy that can deal enough damage in one hit or inflicts dot.
If you don't do endurance runs or attempt a levelcap, you can stay alive by spamming his 2, but he lacks an 'emergency ability' you can cast when under heavy fire (like Garuda's 4).

[lemonhead]

DE mentioned that they will make his overguard scale with ability strength and give it a 0.2 "shield gating" when overguard is depleted. Hopefully that makes him a tank Cannon

[Darthmufin]

All they need to do is give him and him only overguard gating where once the overguard is depleted, you get 1 second of invincibility, just barely enough to cast his second ability again to regain some overguard.

[darkmugetsu]

This is a good use case for that Arcane Reaper

[svenabel]

Just today I got a Karyst Riven with about 220 Crit Chance and 70 something inital combo.With Covert Lethalty and Corrupt Charge that puts me on 4x Combo BASE. I am still forma-ring this thing but oh boy the bleeds on those heavy attacks will be J U I C Y

[archonnova]

Alright so great vid, but for his 4 and 2, it builds combo for your melee, which is huge. This makes his 4 incredibly usefull because the only way you can scale pure heavy attack builds further is combo. And if you go pure heavy on a good heavy build viable weapon your light attacks are super shit most of the time. Aka most pure heavy attack builds on those good weapons end up being stuck with their initial combo (mostly of corrupt charge)... not on kullervo if you use his 4.

We finally have a dedicated Warframe for every melee playstyle: Valkyr for light Attack builds, Ash for finisher builds, Voruna for hybrid attack builds and now Kullervo for heavy attack builds.

[somedude]

His abilities build Combo meter. You should link enemies, then use his 4, to get 12x combo. You really are restraining his power by not building 12x combo and maxing out heavy attack efficiency.

[jordancannon]

I could be wrong but his 4th is relatively good for combo count, it has its use however it can be changed out for gloom because he is squishy

[Lunictd]

I still have no idea what Kullervo does, but this build looks pretty fun! I don't think that I'll go for Umbral Forma, but I will try the budget version when I get him.
Keep up the great work, take care, and good luck with the summer heat!

[slothbelly]

i sincerely hope they buff how overguard works on kullervo. in its current state, overguard but a paper armor that prevent knockdown, it has no gating, no damage reduction, don't work with adaptations, while being the primary survival mechanism for kullervo, which is sufficient for low level, but pitiful for high level content.

[Mandurath]

Nice build. I have a hard time investing Umbra forma in non primes. I want to, but when it's time to sacrifice it for the Helminth it hurts a lot more if I have Umbra on it.

[entropyfive]

Imo They should add more options and scaling on survival stats. A good example is arcane blessing but its still not enough, i uderstand why its capping early. They should either uncap but you get lower value the longer it goes or add stuff like "kill 3k enemies to get 4k health" etc, you get the idea...

[MaryCuddles]

I love heavy attacks and the Pennant, def will use this build! <3

[Elysian-III]

I subsumed his 3rd with a group ability and use Syam with him. I havent had this much fun since... forever

[gamer]

Im trying to find how to get the melee weapon that Kullervo uses in the arena and that one of the children is holding in the cave under the arena

[tojikari]

Pennant, Azothane, Tatsu Prime go brrr

[scipug]

i dont have the wf yet but i never see the mod "hunter adrenaline" in kullervo builds and idk why... it says "without shields ally overguard immitates health"... shouldnt that just completely fix energy problems? what am i missing? does it not work the way it says it does?
