Mini 45 - Grendel
5 december 2019 · 21 min
Set the table and prepare for a feast of gargantuan proportions. Yes, here we tackle the mighty warframe Grendel, who just happens to also be mighty hungry. Able to not only consume his opponents but also to use them either as buffs or projectiles, Grendel makes a formidable foe. Lees meer
And more than that? He can roll into a ball and crush them should they resist.
Grendel is an extremely tanky frame that also provides buffs for himself and teammates alike. He's a good friend to have on your team. Listen in to find out why.

E72 - Interview with Lucas Schuneman (Nef Anyo/Tyl Regor)
1 december 2019 · 1 uur 15 min
Well, there was no Devstream this week, but we didn't want to leave our listeners wanting more... So we went out and scored an awesome interview! If you missed our interview with Sheryl Mebane (the voice of Nora Night) earlier this year, check it out... Lees meer
And then follow it up with this one, in which we interview Lucas Schuneman, who voices such fan favourites as Nef Anyo and Tyl Regor, and a lot more besides Warframe! This interview was a lot of fun, and we encourage you to actively seek out his work.

Mini 44 - Ember (U26 rework)
28 november 2019 · 24 min
No, it's not deja vu, and yes - we have covered Ember before. However, with the rework that was delivered alongside Update 26, we simply had to update our Ember coverage. So here it is - is she much better now? Lees meer
TL:DR: hell(fire) yes. Find out why.
-
E71 - Devstream 133 & Rising Tide
24 november 2019 · 1 uur 6 min
Wow - what a week! First, console players were looking forward to The Old Blood hitting their platform, while the community as a whole was hoping for more information on Empyrean in this week's Devstream. Lees meer
Not to disappoint the community, DE did one better and dropped the first update for the expansion on PC players!
So this week, we have a LOT to talk about - not only do we need to go over the Devstream itself, but we also need to talk about The Old Blood on console and Rising Tide on PC, among all of the usual banter and topics!
Get excited, Tenno!
-
Lorecast 14 - The Silver Grove & New Loka
21 november 2019 · 32 min
SPOILERS! RUN AWAY SCARED IF YOU ARE YET TO FINISH THE MAIN STORYLINE! Lees meer
Still here? Good.
In this month's Lorecast, we have a good chat about the quest that gives us Titania - it provides some good background on the origin of Warframes, as well as a few other interesting tidbits besides. In addition, Cephalon Lucas goes over the lore that he could track down in regards to the New Loka faction. Definitely worth a listen, but definitely full of spoilers!
-
E70 - Hotfixes galore!
17 november 2019 · 1 uur 9 min
Another week goes by in the world of Warframe, and yet again, there was no Devstream... HOWEVER, The Old Blood has gone to certification on all console platforms, so that's a good thing! Lees meer
It certainly makes me think, though - perhaps DE is delaying the next Devstream because they don't want to jump the gun on the next update before console players have even got their hands on the last one? Kind of feels that way... We can only hope - and with only 6 weeks left in the year, there certainly isn't much time left for DE to deliver on the remaining promises...
In addition, we've got our Beginner topic (the Market) and our Advanced topic (Parazon mods, p1: Hacking mods)!
-
Mini 43 - Volt
14 november 2019 · 22 min
Volt. Electricboy. He's a pretty damned good choice no matter how far you are into the game (and some may argue that he's the best starter)... Have a listen to find out why perhaps you should give him another shot.
-
E69 - Community Interview with JellyBean1799
10 november 2019 · 1 uur 4 min
Well, it was a week of PC hotfixes for DE, so there wasn't much news. Thus it was the perfect time to have a chat with one of our strongest and longest supporters - JellyBean1799! Lees meer
And, of course, we also discuss the week's news and go over our usual beginner (annual holiday events) and advanced (beast companion 60/60 mods) topics.
-
Mini 42 - Valkyr
7 november 2019 · 23 min
Valkyr. Lees meer
Valkitty. Psycho Kitty.
These nicknames conjure up images of a ball of fury and talons. And it's not far from the truth - Valkyr is these things and more.
What makes Valkyr such a great DPS/melee frame? Well, for one, she's tanky and two - she can self-heal. However, overall, she can be a bit of a selfish choice, as her abilities don't tend to be TOO helpful to other players. Still, she's just a bunch of fun to use, trust us.
Have a listen to find out why.
-
E68 - The Old Blood
3 november 2019 · 1 uur 6 min
The last two weeks, we've talked about it, but now - FINALLY - we got our hands on it. Lees meer
The Old Blood has been released on PC.
And it's good.
There's a lot in this update - even just the Kuva Liches is a massive update in itself, but there's so much more to talk about. And now that we've had the chance to play around with it all, we can share our opinions of it all. So much to talk about. So much to enjoy. Get in on it!
-
Mini 41 - Trinity
31 oktober 2019 · 23 min
If you're looking for a healer, you really can't go past Trinity. Sure, there are other healers in Warframe, but none that are as selfless as Trinity - in truth, she doesn't do much damage and she's pretty squishy, but DAMN. She's a top tier healer. Lees meer
Scratch that - she's top tier SUPPORT.
Listen on to find out why.
-
E67 - More detail on The Old Blood
27 oktober 2019 · 1 uur 8 min
We were hoping that Update 26 would hit PC last week, but sadly, it was not to be. However, DE did the next best thing and showed it off to us in a good amount of detail, while also answering questions from the fanbase. In this week's episode, we discuss what was shown off and whether or not we think these are worthwhile changes and additions! (Beginner topic: Getting Eidolon ready; Advanced: Aero Set mods) Lees meer
-
Mini 40 - Saryn
24 oktober 2019 · 24 min
Another popular frame this week, and this time around it's the Queen of Toxicity herself, Saryn! Why do so many long-term players love her for late-game content (particularly Elite Sanctuary Onslaught)? Listen to find out! Lees meer
TL;DL: she's awesome, that's why.
-
E66 - Devstream 132 & Melee Phase 2
20 oktober 2019 · 1 uur 4 min
Slow news week... Wait - no it wasn't! There was a Devstream this week, and the first Devstream in a while that was REALLY worth being excited about. Don't miss this one - or if you do, go watch the Devstream. Lees meer
Then come back and listen to us, because we miss you.
-
Lorecast 13 - Saya's Vigil & The Unum
17 oktober 2019 · 31 min
SPOILERS BEWARE! Lees meer
Welcome back for another Lorecast! In this episode, we look at the bittersweet love story that is "Saya's Vigil" as well as the bonkers insane story behind the Orokin Tower in Cetus, and the one that resides within... The Unum... Definitely a cool one - check it out!
-
E65 - Ideas for new game modes
13 oktober 2019 · 53 min
It was a kind of quiet week this week in terms of Warframe news, so we decided to have a chat about what can be done to either improve existing game modes, or even some potential new game modes that can be added to liven things up. We've also got details on our new competitions, so definitely check it out to find out more info! Lees meer
-
Mini 39 - Rhino
10 oktober 2019 · 18 min
It's a short and sweet episode this week - there's really not a lot that can be said about Rhino that hasn't been said before! Not only that, but he's a pretty straightforward and simplistic frame - which is one of the reasons he may be more overlooked these days. Lees meer
-
E64 - Devstream 131
6 oktober 2019 · 1 uur 8 min
After about 6 long weeks of waiting, DE has at last been able to sit down to present another Devstream. In Devstream 131, the team mainly took us through what is expected in the next mainline update, which is due later this month. They did touch a little on larger subjects as well if you are after any more info on Empyrean or The New War! But not much... Lees meer
Still, it was a worthy Devstream, and the next update looks to be pretty good overall, especially as it will come along with a Halloween event! Have a listen to find out the juicy details.
-
Mini 38 - Revenant
3 oktober 2019 · 23 min
Revenant - the spooky Eidolon frame. His quest is fun and gives some good insight into the background of the Plains of Eidolon, but more importantly, he's a fun frame that is absolutely ideal for both solo and team play. Seriously, you can't go wrong with Revenant - unless you're trying to do the Tridolon... Lees meer
Have a listen to why you need to have a Revenant in your stable.
-
E63 - How much should Devs listen to fans? (with guest xValkyrie93)
29 september 2019 · 1 uur 14 min
We reached out to our community and kicked off something we haven't done for a while - Community Guest Stars! So we have a few guests from our community lined up in the coming weeks. Today, we have xValkyrie93, who brought with him a ripper of a question - how much should devs listen to their fans, and how much should they ignore in favour of making the game THEY want to make? It's a great question, and we have a good old chat... (Beginner topic: Boosters; Advanced topic: Tileset secrets) Lees meer
-
Mini 37 - Octavia
26 september 2019 · 26 min
Octavia, the musician, the diva... Bardframe. Whatever you'd like to call her, she makes music. And with her sweet, sweet music, your enemies will fall. Quickly. Lees meer
Seriously, Octavia is pretty amazing, you should get her. But listen to this episode to find out why first.
-
E62 - Q4 predictions!
22 september 2019 · 1 uur 3 min
With half the team still off on vacation following Tokyo Game Show, it was another quiet week. So we've got a nice, stress-free (for the most part) episode for you this week! We are expecting a Devstream next week (or should I say we are hoping for one?), so we decided to give our predictions for what's to come to Warframe for the rest of 2019! Lees meer
-
Mini 36 - Gauss
19 september 2019 · 24 min
He may be one of the newest warframe's to hit the game (at the time of recording), and - let's be honest - when he was first unveiled, we initially weren't overly impressed by his abilities. Lees meer
However, Gauss, the running man, is no slouch in the warframe department. In fact, with the right build, he can effectively be immortal. And did we mention he runs fast? Because he runs fast. FAST.
Terrible German accent: Gauss!
-
E61 - Revisiting the early game with RavenX99
15 september 2019 · 1 uur 20 min
With the relative success of the podcast, the Cephalons decided to branch out and play on other platforms - mainly PC and Switch. While they smashed through the content, a member of the CS Discord decided to start out and experience the early game with a different approach in mind. Lees meer
As a result, we thought it would be a great idea for us all to sit down and have a chat about what we experienced. Thus, we discuss the early game in a fair amount of detail! And even better than that? We brought in a Community Guest to do just that!
Topics:
News: Renown and Esteem packs are out, Saint of Altra gone to cert, some surprises
Discussion: Revisiting the early game with Community Guest RavenX99
Beginner Topic: TOP 5 TIPS ACCORDING TO DISCORD
Advanced Topic: Eximus Enemies
-
Lorecast 12 - The Limbo Theorem & Maroo
12 september 2019 · 25 min
Well, the Cephalons have finished the core storyline in previous Lorecasts, so here was really only one other place to go - warframe sidequests! Lees meer
In this episode, we look at Limbo's origins in The Limbo Theorem, and we also take a slightly closer look at Maroo, with a possible bonus thrown in for good measure.
-
E60 - The State of Warframe
8 september 2019 · 1 uur 7 min
With all the recent hullabaloo of certain Warframe Partners leaving the program (but let's not forget the many more that are not), we thought we'd look into why this might be the case based on the state of Warframe as it currently stands - but with a look towards the future. In our beginner topic, we look at hacking and ciphers; and in our advanced topic, we provide an intro to Sorties. Lees meer
-
Mini 35 - Oberon
5 september 2019 · 22 min
Yes, PaladinFrame himself. Oberon is a damage dealer and healer and all-round good guy. He's... just good. If you haven't tried him out yet, you probably should. Listen to find out why!
-
E59 - Saint of Altra update
1 september 2019 · 1 uur 18 min
This week, the Cephalons discuss the Saint of Altra update, plus we look at Landing Craft Air support, and Toroid Farming. Not one to miss!
-
Mini 34 - Nyx
29 augustus 2019 · 23 min
Nyx - the PSYCHIC frame! No,she won't be reading your palms and feeding you generic stories about your future, she'll be confusing your enemies and making them fight for you instead of against you... And trust me, these are good things. For this reason, she's both great CC and amazing DPS, making her very much worth your while. Lees meer
-
E58 - Chat with iFlynn
25 augustus 2019 · 1 uur 23 min
If you've had your head in the sand for the last week or so, you might have missed the news, but popular Warframe Partner iFlynn decided to move away from the game this week. It was big news in the community, and we were lucky enough to have him agree to come on the show for a chat. Check it out - it was a fun discussion. Lees meer
Beginner topic: gilding; Advanced topic: Strain Set Showcase
-
Mini 33 - Nova
22 augustus 2019 · 18 min
Nova, the neutron frame. She does weird stuff with blackholes and antimatter. I don't quite understand how or why, but... you know... video games. Lees meer
Nova is actually a pretty powerful frame that sadly has been shown up a little by more recent frames. That doesn't mean she's not still useful - in fact, she does have specific uses that the community loves to build towards.
Check out our latest mini, and understand why she's worth adding to your arsenal.
-
E57 - Devstream 130
18 augustus 2019 · 1 uur 4 min
In Episode 57, your Cephalons discuss the recent Devstream 130, in which DE showed off Gauss and Grendel, plus some more info on Railjack, Nightwave,and the Disruption game mode. There's a lot of good info here - don't miss out! (Beginner topic: Pains of Eidolon and Orb Vallis, Advanced Topic: Health Regen) Lees meer
-
Mini 32 - Nidus
15 augustus 2019 · 23 min
Nidus. This infested, fleshy, kinda gross-looking frame is also quite simply one of the best. Stop reading this, and listen to why you should be out there farming for Nidus (or better yet,it would be quicker to farm the plat to buy him).
-
E56 - Bring back old events!
11 augustus 2019 · 55 min
In this episode, we cover a few recent listener questions and suggestions, focusing mainly on the suggestin that DE should consider bringing back old events - at least so that thos that missed them can experience the lore. And CephalonLucas has a great idea (if only it didn't reauire so much work to implement)! Lees meer
Our beginner topic looks at the Disruption game mode, and the advanced topic has a look at more advanced melee techniques - slam attacks and blocking.
-
Lorecast 11 - Mythcast: Fomorian
8 augustus 2019 · 26 min
We tried something really different in this Lorecast... While we still cover the lore contained within the game, we also take a slight dive into some of the real-world mythology behind the naming conventions. In this case, we look at the Fomorian, and the Balor Fomorian, which come from Irish pre-Christian Mythology. It's really interesting stuff. Let us know your thoughts via the usual channels. Lees meer
-
E55 - Dog Days
4 augustus 2019 · 1 uur 1 min
DE dropped the Dog Days Tactical Alert on us this weekend and it's... different! In some ways, quite good, in others... not so much. The Cephalons have a god old chat about what'sgood and what's bad, with a look at what this might mean for other aspectsof the game. For example, this could be a fun competitive clan activity! Beginner topic: mid-game struggles. Advanced topic: Farmable ephemera. Lees meer
-
Mini 31 - Nezha
1 augustus 2019 · 24 min
It's time for the child god himself, young Nezha! Run around on your roller blades leaving fire behind you, why not? Jokes aside, Nezha is pretty good - better than Cephalon Greg's sound quality in this episode (what's up with that)! Lees meer
Have a listen to why nobody should be disappointedto have a Nezha on their side.
-
E54 - [DE]Megan guest & Devstream 129!
28 juli 2019 · 1 uur 38 min
It's officially a year since we began this journey, and Megan Everett ([DE]Megan) from Digital Extremes joined us in celebration! We had an absolute blast - Megan wasvery pleasant to chat with! We may have gone on a bit long... Lees meer
Or maybe it's because we had to cover Devstream 129 this week as well? Whatever the reason, butckle up - it's long, but it's good. Promise.
-
Mini 30 - Nekros
25 juli 2019 · 28 min
Nekros. Edgelord. Death himself or is it just a phase he's going through? Personally, I think he's worth checking out. Scratch that - everyone needs a Nekros. Listen on to find out why.
-
E53 - Weapon Evolution in Warframe
21 juli 2019 · 1 uur 2 min
With modular weapons in Warframe and a bunch of new passives that we've noticed are warframe-specific, we decided to have a chat about how weapons have evolved over the lifetime of the game, and where we hope things go in the future. It's interesting the way things are going! For our beginner and advanced topics this week, we provide a roundup of all of the topics we have covered since Episode 25, just to get new (and old!) listeners up to speed. Lees meer
-
Mini 29 - Mirage
18 juli 2019 · 19 min
The trickster. The jester herself. Mirage. Lees meer
This particular warframe has her own special set of Abilities based on tricks of light and illusion. While these Abilities do have some CC aspects, and when combined with certain augments, even some Support elements, she's really a DPS frame at her most basic.
And she's absolutely worth it - listen to find out why.
-
E52 - TennoCon, part 2
14 juli 2019 · 1 uur 23 min
We covered all the exciting things shown off during TennoLive at TennoCon, but what about the cool stuff shown on other panels? This week the Cephlaons discussed some of the assets revealed on the Art panel, and take a deep dive into Invasions. What are you waiting for?! Lees meer
-
Mini 28 - Mesa
11 juli 2019 · 23 min
It's the gunslinger herself! Unless you've been sleeping under a rock (or perhaps you've just started Warframe, that's also a possibility), you're probably aware that Mesa is considered top tier. But why? Can't all the warframes use guns? what makes Mesa so special? Lees meer
Well, my friend, listen on to find out!
-
E51 - TennoCon 2019
7 juli 2019 · 1 uur 3 min
It's that time of year again, when Tenno from all around the world make the pilgramage to London, Ontario, Canada to experience TennoCon, the annual Warframe Fan Conference. Well... those with money at least. Lees meer
Your Cephalons watched TennoLive so you don't have to. You SHOULD, but you don't have to. Havea listen to what we have to say - it really was a good show this year, yet again!
-
Lorecast 10 - The Chimera Prologue & Baro Ki'Teer
4 juli 2019 · 41 min
As always - THERE BE SPOILERS WITHIN. Lees meer
Avoid at all costs if you are not up to date with the story.
Otherwise... in this episode, we look to get completely up to date prior to the release of The New War!Wecover The Chimera Prologue, The Wolf of Saturn Six AND The Jovian Concord,and there are ALOT of juicy details to get into. I promise.
In addition, with the special TennoCon relay popping up again this weekend,it was also a good opportunity to look at the story behind Baro Ki'Teer.
We loved recording this one - hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Ahem - one more time... SPOILERS.
-
E50 - The AUA (Ask Us Anything) Extravaganza!
30 juni 2019 · 1 uur 6 min
I'm not sure we ever really thought we'd make it this far when we first started the podcast, but here we are - Episode 50. And, like we had threatened to do, we made this one a livestream, in which our listeners (and viewers) could Ask Us Anything. Lees meer
We had a hell of a lot of fun with this one - we had more viewers than we expected, and we got a whole bunch of really good, insanely fun questions. Please have a listen, and join in the fun as we enter our 1-year Anniversary celebrations. We're glad to be here, and we're even gladder that you have come along for the ride.
-
Mini 27 - Mag
27 juni 2019 · 21 min
Mag - the Magnetic frame - manupulates the battlefieldusing her crazy magnetic abilities. She's a frame that peoplelove to hate, but she doesn't really deserve it all, to be honest. Have a listen to find out our thoughts! Lees meer
Note: there are audio issues in this episode that I was unable to fix. I'vefigured out where it came from, so it should be prevented in the next episode, but... my apologies.
Note part 2: This episodeis also up on YouTube as ourfirst live recorded podcast video! It's a bit... awkward, but check it out!
-
E49 - The Great Wukong Rework
23 juni 2019 · 54 min
At long last, Wukong finally got his rework this week, and boy did DE do a good job. So good in fact, that we felt we had to dedicate this week's discussion topic to it. It's a kind of short episode this week, asit was quiet while we head into the final stretch before TennoCon, but damn... Wukong is so good, we had to talk about it. Also? Next week is our livestream - keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter for details. Lees meer
Beginner topic: good early frames to chase
Advanced topic: Kitguns pt2, Pax arcanes
-
Mini 26 - Loki
20 juni 2019 · 20 min
Loki. The perfect trollframe. But not only is he great for trolling, he's pretty great for a bunch of things, and actually just really easy to understand. If Loki were a real person, he'd just be agood bloke, that likes to have a laugh sometimes. I'd have a beer with Loki. Lees meer
Anyway. Listen to this episode to find out why he's good.
-
E48 - Xenogelion Interview
16 juni 2019 · 1 uur 20 min
It's week week after E3 and a few weeks before TennoCon, and although there are a bunch of events going down in Warframe, there's not much NEWS. So instead of a bunch of news and discussion, this week we bring you an interview with a Warframe Partner - Xenogelion! Lees meer
In addition, we look at progression in the early game for our beginner topic, and kitguns for advanced.
