I'm a new player (finished second dream with rank 30 volt sunday) and just crafted limbo. It's my only warframe aside from volt. Is there anything to keep in mind about Limbo or anything that helps while using them?
Oooooh this is a fun one!
First of all, Limbo’s passive is his most powerful ability. It grants you pseudo-invincibility at the drop of a hat and costs no energy. Use it and abuse it!
I highly recommend weapons with high burst dps so that you can pop out of the rift, deal the damage you need, then pop back in.
Obviously, leveling is going to be a pain, but once you’ve leveled him, use him solo and in missions where killing is not required (ie spy, rescue, interception, and mobile defense).
Nullifiers are your worst enemy with Limbo. They will pop your cataclysm if they touch the edge and they will take you out of the rift. Kill them with extreme prejudice.
Avoid using banish on enemies and other players. Use only on NPC allies that need protection (sortie defense operatives and rescue targets)
Likewise, avoid using rift surge in multiplayer. It will lock enemies in the rift and your allies won’t be able to kill anything (and complain)
I have 3 mod setups for Limbo. My “Map Dominator” setup mods for max range and high duration (no narrow minded). You don’t need too much efficiency but I opted to do so because I subsumed Revenant’s Reave ability to dash everywhere. You can also mod for negative range if you want to go into a corpus mission and defend against nullifiers.
My second setup is my “Loot” setup. Basically, you mod for max range and efficiency with little duration. Strength is optional here. Fit as many parkour mods as you can and boom! You can fly through missions spamming Cataclysm to open a ton of crates at the same time. I subsumed pull because I’m extra lazy.
My last setup is my “Killer Limbo” setup that abuses Wisp’s Breach Surge ability combo’d with Limbo’s Rift Torrent augment. Mod for high range and moderately high strength, high duration and some efficiency. Basically, you put a bunch of enemies in the rift with Cataclysm while stasis is active, Rift Surge them to build up a ridiculous damage buff, then Breach Surge to Prime the enemies to emit particles (that are affected by the aforementioned damage buff), then unleash hell with any weapon of choice (I recommend the amperex or atomos for a good lightshow)
