Who’s your favorite “underdog” frame?
Title. You know the ones; the frames that aren’t “meta” enough, or are generally regarded as non-reliable frames. Despite that, maybe you managed to find a sort niche or underrated frame that you’ve built to be fun, with or without subsumes. What are your favorite frames that aren’t in the limelight?
Personally, I’d have to go with Baruuk. I really don’t often see people play him, which is a pretty big shame considering the availability of his kit. His Elude is viable, dodging attacks in a certain cone, but it can be easily subsumed. His Lull allows for decent CC, and his Desolate Hands allow for enemies to be disarmed, denying any cheesy shots that manage to pop out of a crowd. His Desert Wind combined with the Reactive Storm augment is deadly, targeting specific weaknesses and clearing ads in a deceptively big cone, (that for some reason has REALLY high bottom and top margins, allowing for multi-floor clears.) not to mention the fact his Desert Wind can be upgraded separately. Definitely a fun character, especially when his Elude is replaced with a subsume armor strip, like Tharros Strike or Terrify.
Edit: Clarified Baruuk’s abilities with their names for those who don’t know them off their numbers.
