Talk:Rhino (Warframe)/@comment-115.98.112.113-20150626060739/@comment-8256051-20150626104312

Rhino's Iron skin is still a big increase in effective health and immunity to all forms of status effects while it lasts. People tend to think it becomes a mere sheet of paper at high lvls, but if that were the case, any other warframe would be one shot by anything that can shred Iron Skin in seconds.

To give you a point of comparison, Valkyr with maxed Vitality and Steel Fiber reaches around 3800 effective health, Rhino reaches 2400 effective health with only Intensify and Iron Skin, add Vitality and Steel Fiber and Rhino reaches 3300 effective health (not taking shields nor Quick Thinking into account). Bear in mind I'm not comparing Rhino and Valkyr, I'm just taking Valkyr as a point of comparison for effective health.

And from a certain point of view, you can see Iron Skin as a self heal ability, since it replenishes most of your total effective health every time you recast it. Thus comparing it to raw hp+armor is not really correct.

Rhino received a big buff with the latest patch 16.10.0, duration mods became even more useful on it. Don't forget that Rhino has the only ability that can increase other ability damage.
