User:Rubberduck01/Limbo Playing Recommendations

is one of the more complex Warframes to play. Furthermore if you play Limbo badly other players could get annoyed as you reduce the efficiency of the whole team to reach the mission goal. Actually there are players refusing to team up with a Limbo (if a player is leaving a few seconds after s/he joined your team, chances are high this is one of them). Because of this it seemed overdue to give some recommendations of how to play a Limbo Warframe to the benefit of the community.

''Note: These recommendations are meant as a starting point for Limbo newbies to explore from there of to develop your own style. These are neither necessarily the best styles, nor the only ones!''

DOs and DONTs
Instead, only cast Cataclysm and Stasis when things go south, i.e. when your team is overrun, the target in danger to be destroyed, etc.
 * Do your research and read all available info about Limbo carefully. This is of course the page itself, but also take a look at info about the Rift Plane.
 * Do not spam (plus )! Many players go for maximizing Cataclysm, which means you inevitably have to increase the bubble size (if you really go for maximum you have to maximize size, but even pushing the duration aspect will force you to increase the bubble size in order to get a reasonable bubble duration; at least this is what you see quite often). Since combat is not possible from within the bubble to outside and vice versa, other player often have difficulties to kill enemies quickly. Also bear in mind that the bubble shrinks over time, so the situation for the other players changes constantly. Especially in missions with waves of enemies (e.g. Mobile Defense) you have to kill all wave enemies before moving on. Having Cataclysm always on will noticeably reduce the team efficiency (and annoy other players).
 * Always cast Stasis before Cataclysm, especially against high level enemies (80+)! If you do it otherway round you risk to be killed before you can cast Stasis, as high level enemies entering the bubble can easily kill you in less than 1 second (i.e. cast time of Stasis).
 * Do not cast in a Mobile Defense mission before the datamass was uploaded to the console! Simple reason is that you cannot upload it from within the Rift plane.
 * Limbo is first to revive! As you can revive other players across planes you can enter the Rift and revive players unharmed.

Supporter
Especially against high level enemies (sorties) Limbo has a hard life and usually dies in a fraction of a second. So you may want to stay out of reach, i.e. entering the Rift and wait for your appearance:
 * Grab the datamass in Mobile Defense missions, enter the Rift and bring it to the console unhindered, while the other players can use their primaries to handle the enemies. If you were too fast and uploaded the datamass before other players are near (i.e. if you were not killed before, as you have to exit the Rift for uploading and this short time is more often enough to be killed), watch for the console. In case it is in danger protect it with Statis and Cataclysm (you must keep this order in such a case as dying is not an option), but remove Cataclysm as soon as other players are here and are able to handle the enemies. And of course make sure you are not the last player to arrive at the console!
 * Banish the Tenno Operative in Sortie Defense missions and lean back. The same is true for Sortie Rescue missions.
 * Revive other players (see above) in all mission types

Solo Limbo
Not interacting with many traps, barriers and sensors makes Limbo a good choice for Spy missions, among others.
