A new shield-based frame, Hildryn, is all set to make her debut in Warframe sometime this week, and players can’t wait to see her in action.
While there’s plenty of room for exploration and experimentation in terms of builds and play-styles, Hildryn comes with some brand new skills and gameplay effects. Her first ability is called Balefire, which has her fire an energy launcher to devastating effect. Her second ability, Shield Pillage, has her stealing armor and shields from enemies to add to her own defenses. Haven, her third ability, is a support field that drains enemy shields while replenishing those of her and her allies. Hildryn also has the capacity for vertical and horizontal flight with her helicopter-esque flight ability, Aegis Storm.
Hildryn also comes with interesting characteristics. For example, her abilities don’t use energy and instead draw power from her shields, allowing her to employ a high-risk, high-reward mode of play. Unlike most frames that come with regular weapons, Hildryn comes with her very own Archwing Gun. See Hildryn in action in the video below:
The release of the new Hildryn frame is all part of Warframe developer Digital Extremes’ content roadmap for 2019. The roadmap includes some big changes, including some new frames to be released throughout the year. There is also a planned overhaul of the game’s Alert and Challenge missions. Those changes went live with Nightwave Radio's update last week.
Warframe is a free-to-play action RPG with over 38 million players worldwide. The game runs on an entirely free-to-play platform, with regular updates and content releases available to all new and current players at no charge. The Hildryn release is just one of the many content releases Digital Extremes has in store for the title, and we can't wait to see what else 2019 will bring to the game.
With the Hildryn frame coming soon, Warfame players are excited to try out her abilities and how she’ll fare in the game’s numerous game modes and activities. What about you? Will you be donning Hildryn in Warframe’s fast-paced action scene? Or are you more excited to wield her Archwing Gun as you provide crucial support to your teammates and deal sustained damage to your foes?
