Mastering the Centurion Nerf Gun: Tips and Tricks for Warframe Players

The Centurion nerf gun is a powerful weapon in Warframe, but it can be tricky to master. In this article, we'll provide tips and tricks on how to use the Centurion nerf gun effectively and take down your enemies.

First of all, let's talk about the benefits of using the Centurion nerf gun. As with other Warframes with high shield values, Hildryn also benefits well from Adaptation, essentially increasing the amount of damage her shields can absorb. Additionally, Arcane Nullifier can potentially increase her survivability.

However, there are some things to keep in mind when using the Centurion nerf gun. Keep an eye out for Eximus Energy Leech/Parasitic, Thrax Centurion and Thrax Legatus as they can easily inflict Magnetic proc during an intense battle. Hildryn is relatively more vulnerable against Magnetic status, especially in The Steel Path as a single hit while being under Magnetic proc can deplete all her shield and prevent her from immediately using Pillage until the shield is partially replenished.

Despite these challenges, there are some benefits to using the Centurion nerf gun. As a Warframe with large Shield capacity, Hildryn gains a lot of benefits from Guardian and Arcane Enhancements affecting Shields, namely Arcane Aegis and Arcane Barrier. The speed of reduction is the same for most or all Railjack abilities resulting in longer wait times for higher cost abilities while lower cost abilities are restored within a few seconds.

When piloting a Railjack, Hildryn will use her own shields in place of energy to power the Railjack's activated abilities. This means that any abilities subsumed on Hildryn require ten times their energy cost in shields to cast. However, this also means that Hildryn can be very effective at absorbing damage and protecting allies.

In terms of playstyle, Hildryn is best suited for players who enjoy playing a more defensive role. She has the second highest base shields out of all Warframes in the game, behind Hildryn Prime: 1,280 unranked and 1,780 at rank 30. This means that she can absorb a lot of damage before needing to be replenished.

If you're looking for a way to earn Hildryn's blueprints, there are a few different options available. By selecting her on the rotating week, players can earn her blueprints after reaching Tier 2 (Neuroptics), 5 (Chassis), 8 (Systems), and 10 (Main) rewards. Alternatively, upon completion of The Duviri Paradox, Hildryn's main and component blueprints can be earned from The Circuit.

Overall, the Centurion nerf gun is a powerful weapon in Warframe that requires some strategy to use effectively. With these tips and tricks, you'll be well on your way to mastering this versatile weapon and taking down your enemies with ease.
