The monk, the paci(fying)fist, best Exalted Weapon frame - Baruuk!
Release date: 2018-12-18
Passive: Baruuk’s tolerance for violence wanes as his hand is forced by his foes. Restraint is a resource unique to Baruuk that provides up to 50% Damage Reduction when the meter is completely depleted.
Elude - Dodge all incoming projectiles, but only while not attacking. Use again to deactivate this ability.
Lull - A calming wave slows enemies until they fall into a slumber. Enemies woken by damage will be confused and disoriented. Short-term amnesia means all waking enemies forget anything that happened before the lull.
Desolate Hands - Summon a bevy of orbiting daggers to seek out enemy guns, destroying them with a small explosion. Combine with Elude to double the range.
Serene Storm - With his Restraint eroded, Baruuk commands the Desert Wind to deliver powerful radial strikes with his fists and feet. Each moment commanding the storm restores his Restraint.
Acquisition: Blueprints can be purchased from Little Duck of Vox Solaris. The main blueprint requires players to be at Rank 2 - Agent, while component blueprints require Rank 3 - Hand.
Is baruuk good? I liked punch weapons when I was a wee babxcalibur, but never really went back to them. I don’t want to do more vox solaris stuff to get his base frame, but I do have his prime gathering dust.
He’s insanely strong, one of the best DPS frames in the game period. And he’s likely to only get stronger with the enemy resistance changes as his 4 with it’s augment does adaptive damage. His only weakness is he is not amazing at lower level content (lower level here means below lvl 100) because you need to use his 1,2 and 3 to build meter to use his 4, and at this enemy level just using a gun or bringing a DPS frame with no build-up required is often better.
Oh, nice. I somehow missed any talk about baruuk during all of my time in warframe. Maybe I’ll splurge on the deluxe skin and make him my next frame to obsess over for a month or two like I’m doing with Sevagoth right now.
