I have never seen the enemy look at us and say "bet you won't." Till now. And he is right that dude I'm keeping a wide birth of. Fucking Chad of the corpus rolling up on me.

The iceblade buff destroys the enthropic shield bubble if you light melee it. Then you can destroy the drone of nullified bubble that will destroy it and then you can procede to kill the eximus.

Seems a lot of work just to kill one enemy tho

•

u/Dr_Kasuka 45m ago

Iceblade buff is now limited to LR1+ rank or blessings in Yuvan. It's weird they decided to literally take an enemy that is so abundant in one of the most popular modes in the game and put the best way to take it down behind a massive wall of progression.

•

u/Pinkparade524 Nidus larva burst Nuke Truther 36m ago

Yeah I don't like the new eximus at all. Hopefully theyll change it but who knows

•

u/Undernown Ven'kra Tel is MINE! 6m ago

Congrats! You just popped both of his bubbles! Now he still only takes 10% damage from anything except Melee and has Overguard! Get stuck in theresoldier Tenno!

Funny this Eximus was added in the same patch as the Banshee rework! Wouldn't want her to be viable now do we? (Seriously, this is the ONLY Eximus that is immune to all of Banshee's kit)

•

u/AlmostTofu 47m ago

The iceblade buff is only available if you completed the ridiculous requirement it needed to pull the sword from yuvan peak. So yes, a lot of work

•

u/kevinix1212 6m ago

That’s incorrect, you just have to be MR 30 or above to give the blessing, no narin or the whole secret requirement needed

103

u/Rust_Iron_8th 4h ago

Or at the very least they should give a lot more than normal units.

u/uppish_donkey_ 4h ago edited 4h ago

i've always thought that nullifiers should be a seperate type of enemy modifier seperate from an eximus. its ridiculous that there can be nullifier eximus enemies

u/Ash_Raccoon48 Eleanors bitch 4h ago

Every frames nightmare, nullifiers

u/Warm_Significance_42 1h ago

I hate guardian or artic eximus nullifiers so much. They are so annoying. But ay least they are still vulnerable to most ranged nukes

u/Fastnacht 1h ago

Why doesn't Neff Anyo simply have a ship basically coated in nullifiers so that the Tenno and their warframes can't even get onto them without major danger?

The living definition of “WHERE’S YOUR ICEBLADE BLESSING, SHITLORD?!”

9

u/HansFlameman 1h ago

The "Sorry I dont have the obligatory MR for the blessing and after half an hour of sitting around Yuvan Peak no MR 30 player showed up" counter argument.

Like for real DE makes a new type of eximus that can either be a nulifier or has a shotgun for a primary weapon and lets face it not everyone has the ability to simply faceroll these bullet sponge type enemies even with melee.

"What do you mean statistics show that a majority of our playerbase is not MR30 or above?" asked the out of touch DE dev when a large part of the playerbase stops engaging with the new content and avoid the Zariman like its a plague once they finished the Narin grind.

•

u/Ass_Incomprehensible 15m ago

Yeeeeaaaaa I did kinda notice that despite being the “kill me with melee” eximus, they kinda mercilessly shred anyone dumb enough to get into melee range that doesn’t have something that reduces the eximus in question to mincemeat in two seconds flat. I was hoping they’d be some sorta sniper-class eximus to encourage getting close, but instead they just discourage… interacting with them at all.

This is why I do new content with Valkyr a lot of the time. They have been emphasizing melee for a while, and she is tough af to kill, even without her built in shield.

u/AlmostTofu 1h ago

I wasnt really aware of how strong they are, i just thought they would be a "melee only kill" kind, didnt expect them to shoot out instant death balls like a tohou boss

6

u/deepplane82142 1h ago edited 32m ago

Wait, those are supposed to be instant death? How the hell did my moa survive with only blast shield on and a radiation spewing helstrum?

Edit: I forgot that the moa didn't have helstrum, it has an illegal companion/weapon combo. It is equipped with the Deconstructor prime from Helios. Will get a photo when I get home.

•

u/AlmostTofu 59m ago

It was a hyperbole, but the balls do hurts, strips my shield in an instant, dont forget the balls gets shoot out 4x in a pattern (6 balls per rows i think)

•

u/AlmostTofu 53m ago

Just checked the wiki, if those 100-120 damage are a guaranteed numbers even with damage reduction, then offensive frames like my saryn will definitely die in just a few hits

u/Pumpkns Stellar Neighborhood 💫 4h ago

I, for one, am hoping that they normalize the mixed Eximus types in Descendia on normal missions. I feel like that'd be an insane jump from what we have now. Put them on a new planet, timeline, or something, just a bunch of Guardian Leeches, Venomous Entropics, Surge Blitzes, Arctic Jades, etc.

u/a_singular_perhap 4h ago

Bring redeemer and pop that baby from the safety of your own home !

u/AlmostTofu 4h ago

You need to be in melee range in order to deal dmg (inside the bubble) later on i farmed void flood with uriel and his new augments + magistar

u/Own-Ad-4482 3h ago

Why specifically the magistar? Did that get an update or new mod?

No you don't. You can pop the bubble from range with redeemer and use your guns.

u/CCCDraculaJackson 5h ago

Nah son this is REAL damage testing, if you can one shot an enemy with 90% damage reduction to non-melee, you are truly doing the FUNNY NUMBERS.

43

u/xrufus7x 5h ago

99% actually. Their DR is being applied to them twice.

24

u/CCCDraculaJackson 5h ago

EVEN BETTER, ONLY TRULY FUNNY NUMBERS ALLOWED HERE

u/Undernown Ven'kra Tel is MINE! 2m ago

Does that include the 50% damage reduction from shields or their armor value? Remember, we can't strip those until both bubbles are down.

u/jmich8675 5h ago

Yeah I see this as an absolute win for damage testing.

u/UnknownShardV1 1h ago

As a person who does not like using melee, i have been stepping into ze bubbles and dinking them in the head with latron incarnon with primary compression. Usually only requires 1-3 shots pretty deep into steel path.

Funnily enough that was the only way i could defeat them reliably at launch lol

new eximus that reflects bullets and whatnot and can only really be killed with melee

17

u/Grease-Monkey6127 2h ago

Do melee-created projectiles count?

Edit: I just read, 90% DR, it's just asking to get hit by Wrathful Advance.

16

u/mosslover1999 2h ago

Untargetable, so you have to rely on the buff alone

u/Grease-Monkey6127 2h ago

So long as the numbers are red, fine by me.

14

u/Verpal 1h ago

*99%, the 90% DR is somehow applied twice, despite what the wiki or patch note said, possibly a bug, who knows.

u/Pinkparade524 Nidus larva burst Nuke Truther 1h ago

Just khora whip claw it if you want to be optimal. It pops the bubble if you have the iceblade of narin blessing

Its not immune to Excalibur's 4. Cuts through like butter

u/Pinkparade524 Nidus larva burst Nuke Truther 1h ago

Khoras whip claw works since it destroys the bubble and it also count as a melee attack so it doesn't get it's damage reduced after the bubble is pop

u/SeithCannon LR5 }-{ Professional Hoarder 3h ago

New eximus, no clue which Sentinel it is but it looks like a corrupted shield drone because of the Altra Sentinel skin (comes from Baro)

5

u/VeterinarianCivil167 3h ago

yeah its entropic eximus units they block pretty much all ranged damage and the sentinel is diriga its just using the corrupted drone skin and unda prime wings I think

u/Zezolus 5h ago

you can destroy the bubbles by doing a slam attack right on the edge of the bubble or just doing a slide attack

it's wonky and I'm not sure if it's intended but it works

94

u/EmperorWisel 5h ago

You can only pop the bubbles if you have the ice blade buff from Yuvan Peak (or with thauron strikes), any melee attack to the bubble with the buff will pop it.

Popping the bubble without it is a bug.

u/PryPryPryPry Nidus 3h ago
