Oh Caliban! A frame so bad, so forgotten DE literally has to give him away to everyone upon his rework just so people actually get to experience the thing. I hope Pablo is cooking cause this guy needs a full course meal! With a single redeemable ability rendered obsolete by the armor/damage type rework Caliban has nothing going on for him. Add to that the abysmal acquisition with timegated droptables and high-end Railjack resources required to build him and it's no wonder the poor guy is completely forgotten. This guy is in a state as dire as old Hydroid was. Here's hoping his rework turns out as good as that one did!
Pre-rework Hydroid is definitely overselling how bad he is, lol. Pre-rework Hydroid couldn't even shieldgate without a Helmnith once they "fixed" his energy economy; pre-rework Hydroid had obnoxious charge casts and long casting animations all over his kit. Pre-rework Hydroid was a relic and clearly built around hiding in his puddle to get his crowd control off so he could play for a bit before repeating the cycle. Pre-rework Hydroid was what people who don't play Loki think Loki is: a slow, weak, pure CC frame.
In my opinion as an active Caliban player, there are four core criticisms of him that all appear to being addressed by the rework:
And as a bonus I seriously hope they unbug Sentient Wrath so it applies its DV through Overguard again, like it's supposed to. It works fine on Demos and Acolytes! Why is it broken suddenly!
Even though I think there are frames that genuinely need it more, I'm overjoyed he's getting a rework. I genuinely love the frame and how strong he already is, so I can't wait for what is hopefully another golden age for a hidden boss, like what happened with Sevagoth and Yareli.
