How to play as Koumei in Warframe

Warframe introduces us to an ever-growing universe full of conflict and violence, where you play as the Tenno, a member of a faction of warriors trying to bring a semblance of justice to a solar system that desperately needs it. In a world where everything is constantly changing, new weapons and warframes appear to tip the scales in your favor.

Revered in Cetus and the latest focus of Councilor Vay Hek's greed, Warframe Koumei brings a new way to play the game in the form of the Five Fates, a mechanic where you roll dice and different effects appear depending on the roll. Here we will tell you all about it!

How to get Koumei

To get Koumei, you will have to play a lot of Mission Saya's Visions Shrine Defense, on Earth. Completion of this mission can reward you with all of Kouma's plans (and her signature weapons, too) and it will also give you Pearls of Fate, the new currency you can spend at the Koumei Shrine in Cetus to obtain the Blueprint and its component Blueprints.

Koumei's best builds

Form	3-5
Subsummation options	None
Archon Shards	2 Amber Archon Shards 2 Archon Azure Shards Anything in the last slot.

For Koumei's build, we'll focus on the chaotic nature of her kit and take advantage of her prowess in causing status effects. Therefore, we will use all Archon mods: Archon Continuity, Archon Flow, Archon Vitality, Archon Stretch and Archon Intensify; the first four Archon mods will react to her abilities whenever a status effect is applied and Archon Intensify interacts directly with her Onamori ability whenever she heals you.

Next, Catalyst shields will help us survive through Shield-gate, Augur Reach will add a required range and Balance will help you have better energy economy (which will work great with Arcane Energize.)

On the Archon Shards side, 2 Amber Shards with extra cast speed and 2 Azure Shards with extra energy will do the trick, and for the final one, you can put whatever you want, be it a Green one with extra Corrosive stacks, or more Energy if you want to play it safe. tough, Arcane Energize will help you conserve as much energy as possibleand for the second Arcane, you could go with Arcane Avenger for the extra Crit chance or Arcane Acceleration for some Fire Rate juice on your primary.
