#duviriparadox #echoesofduviri #warframegame #tennocon2023
From the long shadow emerges... a new Excalibur... A new... Umbra.
Excalibur Umbra is a widely popular Warframe, but his origins go deeper then that of the Sacrifice quest. Today we dive into the world of Warframe China and see what Excalibur Umbra really was.

First and foremost I want to thank Dystopia for providing insights on the China build of Warframe, link to his channel here: www.youtube.com/@HeatInherit Second, apologies for the low quality clips in the China Build (ChangYou) footage, it was pretty difficult trying to find any clips of old Warframe China footage as most videos are either on the Tencent Version or global build, so there was only a handful of regular footage that I can show. Third, this ones obvious but in case I'm not clear somehow... this isn't a "chinaframe bad" or "china player sux" video, I'm merely showcasing what the ChangYou build of the game was like, this isn't a hate video against a group of players or race, respect each other and we all get along good.

I feel having entire umbra frames released would kinda render primes obsolete. Instead, perhaps they should release 'umbra reactors' that you can implant into a warframe to unlock its will, and have that also unlock a lore piece of some kind on who the warframe used to be.

Umbra was and will always be the frame that kept me loving this game, his lore, the Sacrifice, it was amazing, it was Excalibur again but it was a way cooler one, I still enjoy playing with him.
I’m the guy who asked on the reveal stream if the scarf would actually be a part of his frame, not just concept art. They said they believed they made it work, that yes, he would have a scarf. As you can tell, I had my priorities straight. I’m still to this day 100% able to say the scarf single-handedly makes him the coolest frame in the game. Combine that with his amazing look and lore, he’s easily my favorite frame.

I just finished the Sacrifice quest, and the lore tied to him is insane. A vengeful man turned into a vessel for war and battle, trapped in a body that cannot call for help, only fight to try and hide the pain. Rage, sorrow, and guilt all pent up with no possible way to vent. The mission has made me love this game, I can't wait to see more of the story, as I plan to finish the store with Umbra.

You know what's sad? Umbra isn't included in the new war story umbra the one sentient Warframe who absolutely despise ballas like operator is not helping us at all or not included more, considering his trauma and grudge caused by ballas, he doesn't even help in the new war like shadow stalker helped us, umbra should've been looking for operator after they disappear or we encounter him as drifter and he kills one of the archons trying to look for ballas to avenge the operator or even better like ordis he knows the drifter is the operator and is going around the map killing enemies in our way as the drifter, basically taking the role of shadow stalker

A little bit of context: most players were disappointed they will never get Excalibur Prime, since it was CBT exclusive, and wanted something instead. That's why all the hype. After all original Warframes got Prime versions, only Excalibur left, and all these Umbra drama started.

A lot of people don't seem to understand. Umbra is the People's Excalibur Prime. other than getting some cool lore with him it wasn't supposed to go any deeper than that.
I'm a huge nerd for the story in this game, so I love how Umbra's lore pretty much changed everything. I'm looking forward to when they release more about the Ur Frames, even if we only ever *get* Excalibur. (Nyx, maybe, for old time's sake?) Thank you for going into the troubled history of the Chinese build. I can't imagine how frustrating it is for devs to work with sets of requirements that are so different from each other. It's hard work and I salute them for it.

I feel like Umbral frames should exist for certain frames. Tie it to lore like we were told primes, at one point, were rumored to be. Regular frames were supposed to be the copy of the original that the Orokin created right? Umbra sets up a counter playstyle potential and more story routes for so many frames.

This video was really good man, the commentary and editing is on par with popular commentators that i was surprised you weren't more popular, you should expand your documentaries onto other games and pieces of media because the quality of your content is very high.
I think Umbra's biggest impact for me personally was how much it inflated my platinum wallet on my xbox account. Was on vacation in LA with a buddy and ended up selling SOOOOOOO many mods. Ended up having enough plat to buy the prime versions of over half my arsenal. The umbral mods are nice too of course.
currently on natah quest onw for umbra!
When I first got Umbra which was recently a few days ago considering I'm a new Warframe player despite starting off with mag Umbra became one of my personal favorite warframes
God I can remember it. The Sacrifice was literally all over the internet on release. People pretty much lost their minds. You can have your complaints about the game but god DAMN does DE know how to make a cinematic quest. Still fucking do too it’s amazing
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS UPLOAD RIGHT HERE
Most of the China exclusive items are available in global version. Things that still exclusive are mainly decorations and Primed Charged Chamber (Charged Chamber but having 110% damage buff addictive with Primed Chamber)
This was a very interesting video. It was especially fascinating learning about the china build for warframe. Its absolutely wild even imagining having to pay plat just to keep your weapons.
God bless u & these amazing edits big dawg 🔥👊🏾
I like how you have lightning returns music playing in the beginning
i never knew about this huge drama, for me the only thing excalibur umbra did not deliver, was something aside primes, i thought we would finaly stop having new frames and starting having umbras instead, so every new frame would have three forms, almost an entire year on a frame, having a little tweaked skills, like we could have umbra ember having her old kit with world on fire etc.
I wish I had the money to be a founder back when I could have. Really want to put Excal. Prime's helment on Umbra's body
We absolutely neeeeeeed a railjack video
That intro felt like an anime opening
Amazing video pal keep it up
You know wha’s funny, you can replay this quest AS UMBRA and literally make Umbra fight himself
umbras lore along with his design is amazing and he is my dad. hes grown on me so much and he is my main frame at this point, i love other frames but i keep coming back to umbra time and time and again.
It all started when my friend told me about an rpg looter shooter game that is completly different from other rpg games. He explained the game to me about 1hour literally im not joking. But still succeed to make me interested in game. So... i downloaded it. The beginning was insane. Never saw something like that in rpg games. Mechanincs,guns animations... İt all was perfect. Then the tutorial ended. And i find myself wondering what should i do next? That was not a complain. That was "starting of an addiction" i was learning game from different channels and guides. And lerned pretty much everything about game. Thats the moment i realized i have been playing game for 240 hours in 2 weeks. Thats equal to 120 each week. I never played any game like this. Never.

I love these videos. I've been playing warframe a few weeks after Christmas it the year it released on Xbox one. So I remember rumors and discourse and joining different clans. It was an accident I was there. Just like it was an accident that I found out me and my partners favorite game as children was a game thier family called "shooty game" but it was a PC game made by DE! So watching these videos feel weird. Like I'm being acknowledged. I was there ! I remember
For future videos i suggest talking about the abilites when the frame launched and talk about how they changed instead of doing a overwiev at the end of the vid
Ever after The Sacrifice quest, I always do the main quests of Warframe (Prologues, New War, Whispers etc) with Umbra, because it just feels right. He's not my "main" frame, but he's my "lore accurate" frame.
I finished the new war quest and damn... all of it is just crazy and i love it.
A small thing to note with design intentions . . . DE has known for years that the new player experience is on shaky ground. DE fostered an amazing community and that community has propped up the game for a very long time. Umbra was the start of the internal move toward meeting their goal of making the NEW PLAYERS experience better. The entire storyline is no longer gated behind mastery progression, which was the primary driver for new and casual players "get stronger and more of the game opens up." Now new players can hop right in and quickly gain access to a top shelf, one of the best warframes in the game that can carry them through ALL of the content if they so choose too. It was a sacrifice in many ways, one of them being the old way of warframe which kept all the goodies locked down.
Your editing must be at least lr 1 with an intro like that 🥰

The saddest day in my life for gaming will be the shuttering of warframes doors and it closing down for good. If DE had the ability to make a warframe movie, they'd have the framework and rich lore to do it. Warframe is a journey that everyone should make, it is the most memorable journey I've ever had in gaming and everything has been amazing. The people I've played with, the exploration of all the hidden nonsense behind the veil trying to unlock everything. It is something not seen and will likely never be again in gaming.
"galactic armor" pffft... we haven't taken a step out of the milky way yet
Excalibur umbra is the only one who kept me going i first played warframe 2 years ago my best friend got me into this game because my mate guided me through this game like a mentor and after my mate passed away I made a promise to him that I will reach legendary mastery rank with my excalibur umbra I will keep that promise to promise to the end

Umbra story is still one of my favorites of the Lore of Warframe. Also He looks the most like a Ninja due to the Scarf he wears. Everything about Excalibur says NINJA. But Umbra pushes that ideal to it's Max. Also it cool to see how much HYPE he had.

very interesting details surrounding him 🧐🧐
It was an interesting quest, glad to have done it. Prefer regular Excaliber in actual play though if I'm not using my Loki Prime.
I need to play more more Umbra
We need another Umbra Warframe, new Umbra weapons and most of important Umbra Mobs. I wish that charge attack melee builds could get +220% status chance mod with double for Charge attacks. That way some melee weapons could not be forced to be specific weapon type to have forced slash status.

Nah we don't need more
I know ive been watching a few Warframes videos and looking up how to farm certain things cause i play this game once every few seasons and dont know where everything is but i just unlocked this like an hour ago. This is the second time this has happened only its less weird now cause i actually am engaged with the game. The other time it was Risk of Rain 2
the only thing i wanted for warframe 10 year anniversary was a surprise 10 year anniversary warframe umbra... like anyone, even loki would had been cool. but we are not getting it. but hey, we got some glyphs, right

Umbra isnt the same as primes lore wise, its doubtful any umbra warframes exist at all outside of Excalibur

@@practicallyprinzNo, Umbra is a unique Exalibur that is basically just full body CBT inflicted by ballass
what are your video settings also amazing video!
i fucking love ff13 lightning returns music, the intro gave me nostalgia.
The moral of the story; that DE *STILL* haven't grasped yet, is that content exclusivity is both unfair and makes people unhappy. Whether one is too young, can't afford, don't know, or aren't allowed, there are many factors that people can't help. It's my opinion that people should not be punished for being poor, but evidently DE disagrees.

I kind of agree. Excel Prime is nothing special really but it's a nice reminder to those of us who bought in at the very beginning of how far the game has come. I personally only bought the pack because I wanted to support the devs. I could see the potential in the game and liked how transparent they were during development.

Not getting some thing that's an exclusive isn't a punishment. Just because you want some thing doesn't mean you need it.

There’s some things you should know and be asked though, like, would you actually PLAY as Excalibur Prime if he could be obtained like every other prime frame? Also, I’m pretty sure prime frames originally had no difference aside from name and cosmetic, so it wasn’t “pay to win”.
i was the type that prefer to just get toe to toe with enemies instead of attacking from afar and this has always been my play style on every combat related game. So i really like using excalibur and then changed to gara since shes a bit tanky but can also nuke the whole field while still having the aspect of face to face combat. Aside from she being one of the earliest frames we can get. But after i got myself dagath and xoris, i just change my whole preference on combat in games altogether. Mid range combat just might be my best play style. And not too long after, i got myself khora prime. And about a day ago, i just finished the sacrifice quest and honestly, excal umbra made me realized why i really love close combat. Its the satisfaction. Despite what they throw at you, you'll just slowly but surely approach them and eventually defeat them. And umbra did just that, both to his guilt and his literal play style. I may still prefer mid range combat but umbra will forever hold a special place in my heart
If i had to pay to keep my gun or itd dissappear id lose my mind
I need a video going over your warframe settings. Sir please lol
When I started playing I browsed the wiki a lot and found Umbra, I then proceeded to "speed run" my way to the sacrifice and got him close to Christmas of that year, (for a rough context of when this was, 2021)
Use Umbra, equip long range automatic primary (Supra Vandal, or Telos Boltor), put in gear few Wisp Specters, Shield Osprey Specter, Corrupted Bombard Specter, Ancient Healer Specter and Squad Energy/Health/Ammo Restore Large and go solo on the highest level Survival Dark Sector, choose a long hall with only one entrence, pres 5 and you read a book or watch a movie for few hours. You'll leave the place with loot for a month nonstop crafting. Just collect every 3-4 min life support modules activating Void Sling, to keep life support to 100%. You welcome.
Feels good to be an Umbra main :) EDIT: If you don’t wanna use the typical Gloom build for Umbra, try Tharros Strike instead!

Hey! Are you an unoriginal sweat who will piss his pants without a boring-ass crutch ability that does all the work for you? Yeah? Well, try this even more braindead ability! Now with armor-strip!
Hmmm... Umbra... I should build my umbra.
how Excalibur umbra umbra'd the community
As someone who ditches games for months at a time and comes back every few months or so, If I lived in china, my WF account would be wiped everytime I came back, and that terrifies me.
Galactic Armor!!! That’s a dope name!!!!
yo how did you manage to do that extremely quick running with the redeemer prime?
Reworked Hydroid and Excal are a match made in heaven
Whats the energy covering Umbras chest in this video?
0:56 Bad music stops, video starts.
Honestly hearing music from any of the ff13 series is fantastic
As much as people would want more Umbras, I believe it’s better to keep it to only one because it would devalue the first one and his story. I would rather warframes feel special in everything they can rather than mesh them together with very little differences. It’s why I don’t agree with taking abilities from other frames and putting them on others since what would get me interested in other frames as a player was seeing an ability I wasn’t familiar with and be like “woah, what are they using?”

Thematically, Umbra is the ONLY warframe that should exist at all in his current state, the only other warframe that would act differently like him would be Nidus. Nidus lore is also amazing and it is a shame they never fixed the grind to get him. Nidus Prime solves the accessibility problem, but the quest is still one that has stuck with me for years and I've gladly done grind sessions with friends to help them get mastery.
Is it possible to make about Nezha
Finally someone uses speed excalibur
I just saw A prime monkey outfit on war frame being used the most
6:53 this would’ve been the perfect place to put a vpn sponsorship.
Didn't know China got an exclusive Umbra Helm. Looks great
The only guy with 3 forms He’s like that
i just finished the quest lastnight
Let me give you guys a tip, use kullervo subsume skill and walla, all melee got red crits haha. Excal mains unite !!
I want more umbra warframes
I love Umbra because of his unique passive ability that lets me move around and do stuff while the player is controlling their Tenno.
I’m not photosensitive but damn that boi ZOOMIN
