Just how effective is Smeeta's Charm? | Warframe

UPDATE: With update 30.5 DE are changing steel essence to despawn after 5 minutes on the ground. As such, the super boost mentioned towards the end of this video *will no longer work*.

Informative video m8 as usual, have you by chance done a build for Khora on your videos, it seems like a great build you're have on her , please send a link if possible, thanks in advance 🤞👍

Had shield buff proc while playing Inaros a couple days back

Its amazing how people still swear by their Smeeta even though the numbers are right in front of them.

" Noone is doing infinitely long missions."
Me who just did a 45 minute infestation survival arbitration:

But seriously, thanks for informative vid!

I recently got my smeeta I can confirm I do get the buff a few times every survival mission mainly the affinity one for some reason

Would boost last long enough to pick up toroids after exploiter?

The cat that had many ability and also memeable.

Likezera tenno

First kavat I got was a smeeta me and Gretchen been hunting all over the solar system

eh, about 20% more resources as a passive is basically okay. Better than most other pets, unless you build them for a purpose.

You: “1 in 4,518,207” Me: “So your saying there’s a chance!”

I was in the free roam on deimos with only melee and the reload buff still procced. I think it was because of the tranc rifle but im not sure

it's not that easy for smeeta, in my opinion.

Yes, generally it's a great idea to look at things mathematically, but with Smeeta, it's more of a "lucky" moment. For me, most of the time, I'm happy when I get 2 neurodes instead of one, or similar. That's a one time occurrence in a mission, and when I have the charm buff up then, it's a literal double profit.

Thanks for being smart.

Can you play only melee and Fulmin ?

I think its worth mentioning that this buff is still an improvement on NOT having the buff. Plus, depending on what resource you're farming for, such as Orokin Cells and Argon Crystals, sometimes the Kavat will just give you one. This is super clutch with Argon Crystals which can be notoriously difficult to find. Run a few missions and haven't seen one? Kavat gift eventually guarantees you get one since its limited to giving you only the "rare" resource on that tile set.

please post a video on how to get a kavat

Way too many people sleep on the other smeeta buffs like the crit buff and just see it as "occasional extra resources"

Has anyone tested if lavos takes the energy regen off the table?

Honestly, I don't even care about the double drops from Smeeta anymore. I got one as my first Kavat ever... like a month ago. No joke. I hated the cat farm for scans, so when I bought Regal Aya to buy Vauban Prime (Yeah right I was going to farm all that Cryotic AND some more still for the Sibear), I spent my plat to get the cat, randomly got a Smeeta. I was hyped over double drops. Now? It's all about them crits. Y'all ain't lived until you've seen a red crit Kuva Nukor.

Well, this explains why I’ve been getting Argon and Orokin cells and not being able to find them to ping to my teammates...

More effective with just a bow? Too bad there isn't a bow that fires log-sized projectiles with infinite punch-through dealing guaranteed orange crits for enough damage to wipe out a planet.

Oh hey this Nataruk bow looks neat.

every 4 years of mission time with the base setting .. that means, if there are 10k players running a mission with a smeeta cavat on average (no idea about real numbers, but that might be around this size), this happens to one player about every 3,5 hours. and i bet most of the players, who are lucky to get max buff dont even notice it.

in the end. the RNG isnt viable enough to use it over akdarza. its still nice to use when farming for the off shot chance of 2x or the rare roll. but otherwise the buffs almost never show up for me when I actually need it.

One thing to keep in mind about perspective. Any boost is better than none at all. It takes nothing to run a well equipped smeeta that's been properly leveled and forma'd. It will probably do you better than many other companions. And if you do, its got a decent chance to prock something useful. If you run something else, that chance evaporates entirely. Best bet, do what most people do, and run every buff you can get your hands on. I mean, what do you have to loose? Perspective is everything.

Would love to see a similar video discussing the chesa kubrow. It has an ability similar to nekros' desecrate but is limited to 1 desecrate every 10 seconds. Because of its cooldown of 10s it works well when killing tusk thumpers, silver grove specters and any other desecrate-able singe target. Outside of those, I don't know how good this kubrow is because it would vary a lot depending on kill rate and such. In normal missions it theoretically will vary, in wave based missions it would probably see a slight increase in performance seeing as there is a gap between waves where it might desecrate an extra body or two. It can also work well if you need a drop from a demolyst like acceltra or akarius, but falls short in survival missions and such.

Just got my beautiful smeeta today. I named her sapphire.
Thanks for the video.

I tried to farm khora for month but didnt get every item but with kavat it will take inly one hour to get all parts for khora, this is how powerful the smeeta kavat is 😊

Does the instant reload also not proc when you use a battery gun?

I got 64 steel essence from a single drop about a year ago, but I never actually knew what happened lol

the reload buff would proc with bubonico?

I'm fond of the Smeeta's ability to occasionally find argon crystals behind the fridge. Sometimes I need them and since they can't be stockpiled, I have to go hunting and sometimes there's just none in the breakable containers.

My smeeta kavat looks like a pug 🥲

Would Bubonico remove the Instant reload buff as well 🤔

Hi I'm kinda new to warframe, could someone explain how the melee weapon he's using creates those explosions?

I believe the affinity buff is all 4 boosters together

1 in 4,518,207? That's still better than getting gold drop from radiant relic. Or farming equinox. Or Ambassador.

can you try and do a "companion types explained" and "companion breeds/precepts explained" video?

Does Inaros/Nidus deactivate the shieldbuff? just a thought

2 buddies in the same void defense, one gets 10 argons, one gets 20. Judge for yourself.

Got lucky with a 4 stack during arbitration... Went and bought all the galvanized mods after my first mission - 16 rounds of interception.

doesnt steel essence despawn after a while

I once got a triple proc (with a resource booster) in an arb and snagged 3 vitus essence before it ran out. Best day of my life. Never got that lucky ever again

Why is Tek exclusive of having guns?

You should change your location from England to Hydron

One of Wukong passive abilities is x2 to all drops for 30 seconds, you can get 2 zenith coins or something like that. So, if you trigger x5 charm + x2 resources + you die and get the right buff you could get 64 Orokin Cells from one cell drop or 256 steel essence from a single drop. Or maybe, if you want to go crazy, 12800 of Kuva from a single excavator (In steel path)

I don't like labeling of the "affinity" buff. Affinity shouldn't equal dbl resource pickups as it does in Kuva from the Smeeta buff, it doesn't in any other "affinity" enhancement. Might sound like a small issue, but affinity shouldn't be attached to resources. Then I should be able to buy an affinity booster to get extra Kuva while farming. No, you need a resource booster. DE just scattered in their brain for logical organization.

It's not that effective, but when it is effective, it's effective if that makes sense, at least that's how I perceive my Smeeta kavat. I pretty much only use them for utility, I don't really need the extra crit chance with my Adarza unless I know the rewards are static and not effected by resource boosters, then and only then I'll use my Adarza kavat.
