CONCULYST

(Due to the nature of the Sentients, some mild Warframe story spoilers may be ahead.)

(Also, does anyone read this thing's name as "concubine" like half the time? No? Just me? Alright then.)

The Sentient's answer to a bruiser, the Conculyst wields two giant club arms that it puts to very effective use. I've been absolutely trashed by these things on several occasions. Their attack patterns are strange, since they're both floaty ethereal monsters and hard-hitting melee units. They can just smack you with their Sentient baseball bats, or they can perform a whirlwind attack even after losing their arms. Determination is a hell of a drug. I simultaneously like and dislike the design of the Conculyst. On the one hand, the bats are both humorous and make a lot of sense, seeing as the Warframe universe contains some impossibly hard metals. On the other hand, the way they hold their bats and the reduction of their shoulder pads renders them almost completely humanoid, even if you wouldn't know it in-game. I'm not sure if being humanoid is a boon for melee units as a structural pattern, but from a design standpoint, I would have really enjoyed seeing a thrashing hydra of arms that uses its floating capabilities to the greatest extent. Again, this isn't to say I don't like the Conculyst's design. The spindly legs and keyhole chest work just as well here as they do in the other designs. I just can't help but imagine what we could have had.

So like..

That second Profit Taker bounty..

Last night I was in the vents, and my fiancé was outside of it (the part where you have to simultaneously hit the buttons)

And I accidentally released the holding containment where there was a Conculyst.

So my question is, has the Conculyst ever come out for you??? When I released him he actually started floating around the floor making cute sentient noises. He didn’t seem aggravated, but I didn’t get close enough to him.

I did it again today and he wasn’t released??? I’m so confused.

Dude, Sentients Aren’t Even Strong. 

All they do is pick on people who can’t even fight them back. But the moment they face someone they Cannot abuse using their damage adaptation, THEY COWER IN FEAR AND RUN LIKE THIS ONE DOES. 

Good job on your Legion of Bitch Bots, Hunhow...
