I was never into ash personally, except when his 4 didn't require you to aim around. When they added that i dropped him immediately as i never had energize and we didn't have other better energy gain sources to counter his horrible energy economy. I used him for a tiny bit when i heard that savage silence boosted his 4 only to realize even with decent strength his 'amazing' bladestorm wouldn't always one shot enemies so i just gave up on him due to all the extra effort when shooting my guns did more damage. These days, ive only used him a few times for disruption missions due to his slash boosts helping against grineer where i don't even have to do anything but shoot enemies with Conventrix, no special set up or build up just shoot. But eh. I don't think ill ever use him because the gameplay of armor stripping aoe mag followed by pulling them into a pile and one shotting them with a glaive just can't be matched by him lol. At least hes the only thematically appropriate "ninja" in the game?

That suggested reticle change for Bladestorm is such a good idea. It would make the ability feel way better to use

certainly needs some slight updates, maybe 2 seconds to his base duration of smakescreen and a change to his teleport to make it not be a ...... worse Wrathful Advance.....

While grinding Inaros I got the Ash Systems and this releasing so soon, I might as well take it as a sign and grind the rest of his kit.

"Ash wasn't able to keep up" hit me on a personal level. Yes, I'm not keeping up. I'm running around solo with a bow and don't care that bladestorm is sluggish. I wasn't even aware that there was this much discussion around my boy. I remember when I got him people didn't like him (that's when bladestorm got slower apparently) and always sticked with the impression that he is not popular. Then again, I'm not playing disruption and don't pay attention to the meta. Which is exactly why I will always love him, I play him for what he is no matter how strong. He is the Ninja in ninjas play free, he is the most space ninja of all space ninjas. Great video as always, hope you guys are having a great day

BABE BABE WAKE UP, ASH VIDEO IS FINALLY HERE

Hey man, love the content. I'd like to learn how you make these high quality thumbnails!

I would definitely support Bladestorm targeting becoming a cone rather than having to touch each individual enemy. Some targeting powers definitely need QoL improvement, as casting abilities like Spore or Smite involves spamming the button so they come out consistently.

As an ash main since 2013 this is an awesome trip down memory lane. Took five years off and now i’m back because of crossplay. I gotta say, The addition of helminth has added so much depth to ash, plus smoke shadow’s crit buff, PLUS archon shards has made for some crazy fun and effective builds. Gloom on ash can create an unkillable tank. Wrathful advance is a different FT. Roar, Xata’s, and eclipse plus smoke shadow make for great dps. Aquablades is hilarious with invis. Creeping Terrify is great for when you want to run ash as an armor stripping defense frame. The possibilities are endless and i’ve been having an absolute blast with him since coming back. I’m about to build my third ash prime just so i can min max and make more helminth builds

Melee arcanes are such a huge buff for Ash. A rank 1 Melee Crescendo gives him the ability to make any melee have permanent 12x combo and that means his Bladestorm does bleed procs in the millions. Savage Silence Ash has made the game trivial with Arcane Trickery with an UN-NULLIFIABLE invisibility and room clearing capabilities.

Finally. That’s my boi right there

Mogamu...that's a name I haven't heard in a while.

i was there... when frames had stamina, and we used tipedo to traverse maps, this game went through so many changes it's crazy

Great video but one thing you forgot to add was the duviri circuit and how you can ignore that pesky railjack mission and just grind ash and how that increased his accessability

my first prime frame, i miss the days where you would participate in blade storm

Ash was the third warframe I picked up when I started playing and covert lethality on the rakta dark dagger on index was fun cheese.

I'd be down for all the changes you listed. I'd only add slight bump to Smokebomb duration and give Bladestorm a Peacemakers-like reticle with which you have easier time marking enemies quick and in wider area. With new LoS changes, it will not be blocked by clutter as much as well. And have clones execute enemies immediately, rather than one at a time. Dante can wipe the room with a press of a button, I don't see why Ash has to be so scuffed doing the same thing.

I miss the press 4 to win ash 😢 the good old days i wish they would give a argument that removes the manual targeting or maybe allow us tap/hold option for auto Targeting 😢

I love Ash and Bladestorm Ash has been my favourite frame for years, is super cool and strong. Years ago, when I played Ash for the first time, I wasn't too impressed, but ever since his Bladestorm rework (with the marks), I'm madly in love. Plus, Ash Prime is super hawt. Before his quality of life patch, I had still complained about the marking mechanism, but that's better now. Honestly, I wish he had more interaction with clones instead of further straight Bladestorm buffs, since they are a part of his lore and Bladestorm already is very strong, but I don't care which ability gains the clones, I just want more 😀 If he would summon clones on Smoke Screen or Teleport that stagger, stun or stealth kill at his side. Or if the use of Shuriken would add clones to Bladestorm. Or if clones would randomly appear and mark targets for takedown (I know, maybe too many marks 😸). His Smoke Screen doesn't necessarily need duration because with shorter duration you can recast it and stagger enemies over and over, but ever since Whispers in the Wall, I run Energy Nexus and dropped Streamline and the minus duration one, which is funnily enough more efficient than these two. Actually, Ash is very fine at the moment.

Thanks for this deep dive into Ash, one of my favorite Warframes. Do you think you'll ever look at Ivara? She's supposed to be "The Hunter" but I'm not seeing how she's much of a "Hunter." I can see Ash being a Ninja but I'm not sure frames do what DE thinks they do and it's more marketing hype than anything.

My Favorite Warframe of all time. The Warframe I played the most. The Warframe that I find the most interesting. When I first found your channel I was sad that Ash didnt have an Entry. ASH BRO'S ASSEMBLE

Ash is so so fun, all he needs is high duration and a slash weapon, he can do anything in game with this set up, or you can go the bladestorm route but i prefer guns and invisibility

Awesomesauce 🎉

hey Nova LOVE THE VID.. i have a question tho.. what hud colors do you use? i love it all and i'd love to copy it for myself!

Yeah I never understood how moving Ash and Oberon into Railjack made any sense or did anything for the gamemode other than artifically boosting the number of people who played it by forcing people who wanted to farm Ash or Oberon to do Railjack or how it made getting Ash or Oberon feel any better. For Sevagoth it made sense why his farm was in Railjack. His lore is that he was the captain of a renowned rescue Railjack.

BABE WAKE UP NOVAL UMBRA JUST DROPPED A VID ON ASH-

Should do a complimenting Loki video!

for the moving of ash to railjack instead of the maniacs or whatever, i never got in many years of playing more than 1 ash part from those guys, the type of mission i run the most is grineer and those guys almost never appeared to my, i can count in my fingers, actually my first ash was the ash prime they gave at tennocon

Fem Ash, Fa- Wait.

I attended to grind for ash parts in Railjack... I got the same part 5 times. Needless to say, when the Nyx retrospective?

I would make bladestorm just a long cone or rectangle that checks for enemies in LoS and then sends in a clone that teleports around and strikes those enemies. Having to activate it, then mark enemies, then activate it again, then wait for all enemies to be struck is really clunky. Either that or make it so you hold bladestorm to mark enemies and then release to cast on those enemies.

stealth gas mentioned ✅

Ash is life.

Man I miss ash’s old blade storm before the rework.

Huh, Ash seems like a solid frame even today *proceeds to continue playing Nyx*

One combo I love with ash is Cyam(that duviri nikana) with the arcane that gives initial combo on finishers. Bladestorm counts as finishers, deals more damage per combo multiplier and it will increase Cyam's heavy attacks. Why Cyam ? It's a cool nikana with shockwave heavy attacks ^^

I hope the price of ash goes up after this video, I got tons of relics

Great video but please do atlas next please

Personally I like your suggestions for Ash, he really can just be fixed with a few minor tweaks. - Shuriken getting more Shurikens by default is a good idea, but I would also suggest making it so enemies hit with Shuriken have a higher chance to proc Bleed from all sources. Kind of like a weaker Garuda 4m the status chance is higher, but not guaranteed. If you hit an enemy with a Shuriken, they are also prioritized first by your Shadow Clones to make killing specific targets easier. Just so the ability has a use as a Helminth option and on Ash himself without the Augment. - Going to just say I agree with the Teleport changes overall. Not much to add there, but I would hope the new Augment adds something like a Marked for Death function to Teleport instead. - Bladestorm and it's QoL would also seriously benefit a Tap and Hold functionality, wherein the ability would only end if you Hold Cast, and Tap Casts just activate the clones. That way, continuous Bladestorm casts are easier, hopefully helping him with his generally clunky gameplay. Less button presses and something like an actual reticle as you've stated would be appreciated.

Also his shuriken should armor strip by default since without the augment the ablity on it's own is completely worthless

Nice recap of the different stages of ash. He is still my most used frame despite not getting much use these days, i lived in mot survival with him for a while. Badestorm needs way more speed, no matter how much damage it does the kpm is horrible. Also shuriken should strip baseline, augment should be more of them or/and marking for bladestorm. and teleport is just default subsume so whatever. He needs killing potential in groups, so making bladestorm more user friendly should be a no brainer.

THEY'RE GETTING LONGER OH NO

Haven’t seen the name N00blShowtek for a long while

Ash's popularity is proof that he's just unfun and outdated. He has less playtime than loki lol. The supposed endurance S tier frame is barely even used in endurance anymore. As you said there's much better and beginner friendly options. This is just sad and his 1/3/4 needs rework or big improvements. Bladestorm should not require marking that's such a unfun and clunky, slow nuke in the game. Keep it LoS and that's fine. Aslong as marking exists, no one will use Bladestrom. Dante can nuke anything in his LOS without needing to mark anything. Ash deserves better even if his OG Bladestorm was too strong. They absolutely killed it and it shows DE's design philosophy was much harder back then. I agree with your shuriken and teleport changes. The sad thing is tho because Ash is more viable than few other characters, he's probably never going to get these big changes.

Funny how my reactions to the mentioned content creators range from "eyyy that was my boi" to "yikes i forgot about them, for a good reason 💀"

I think changing bladestorm to work like Ember's inferno would've been alright and then make it a hold cast to go into the animation rather than locking it into his 3

I clicked this quickly, idk what to comment

I will never forget wheelchair Ash Prime

I think that a player set mark duration for blade storm would be a good idea along with allowing for the toggle as well. the max marks still being limited by the energy cost meaning the damage and target count wont be affected and you could still activate the attack on will meaning dps wouldn't be hindered. I would say this shouldn't be effected by duration mods as low or high duration would severely limit dps by making attacks too infrequent or making blade storm practically useless as you couldn't mark enough enemies. a mark duration of like 3-4 seconds would be good id say as this is as much time as usually spend marking anyway as when you mark enough enemies i find the ability feels slow as the clones make their away around each enemy

Tbh , at this point in time DE could let ash ultimate use his melee weapon again. Enemies are way bulkier and we are only dealing finisher dmg , also , ash is not easy to farm by any means , by the time a player gets him , he should be done with almost all the mid-game and starting to dip their toes into things like arbitration and SP. But hey , I still use ash from time to time , he is a very fun frame and with savage silence he can put up some serious dmg.

Wait, so this whole time I was trying to pair him with the Innodem, the benefits were nerfed before I started?

Seeking shuriken should not even be an augment. The ability is 100% useless without it.

Old farming was painful

One thing you didn't mention is that when the Dark Sector update arrived, we used to have attack-defense mode for each clan's solar rail to battle for dark sector's node ownership and profit from taxes. So basically you attack and or defend your solar rail from other clan member pvp style, and how do we cheese that mission? Ash's bladestorm, basically just rush in, press 4, and push.

I feel if they could do an interface change on ash's smoke shadow it would be a lot better. I would like to see it show as a buff, Also they should make ash's armor strip with his shurikens be an innate instead of augmentation, the new augment could be causes slash to spread across multiple enemies? with ash's fatal teleport it honestly is good I use it and it kills annoying units with ease. (whats the point of armor strip if you can just 1 shot the enemy + the armor stripping ability is inconsistent) DE should also make it where fatal teleport works on all enemies except for bosses. its pretty damn stupid for abilities to not work on normal enemies. his bladestorm is amazing that + Savage silence already destroys and kills fast even at level cap with the correct stat stick. I one niche about it, change the damn augment for it. combo multiplier is becoming obsolete unless you solely focus on melee attacks. It should atleast be more than what it is. I'd say the augment should spread the status to nearby enemies or it make it where it boosts slash some how
