Koumei & the Five Fates: Coming October 2
With just a few days remaining before launch, Devstream 181 saw the premiere of the Koumei & the Five Fates Official Gameplay Trailer: [previewyoutube=D6iblGunMnQ;full][/previewyoutube] [hr][/hr]58th Warframe: Koumei
Test your luck with the Dice-Maiden, Tenno! Koumei weaves fate to unleash damage and ensure her survival. To the virtuous, she is an oracle. To the wicked, a perilous game of chance.
[b]Passive:[/b]
Fate selects one of her weapons to impart randomized status effects when dealing damage. This passive effect swaps to another weapon after a duration.
[i]Important Note: as the Dice-Maiden, Koumei rolls 5 Dice for each Ability cast, which impacts each Ability in its own way.[/i]
[b]First Ability: Kumihimo[/b]
Weaves the threads of Destiny. Enemies who touch these threads suffer a random Status Effect.
Rolling three 6s on her Dice will spawn Threads that deal every Status Effect on contact.
[b]Second Ability: Omikuji [/b]
Koumei glimpses a favorable future and the precise steps needed to reach it. Cast the ability to uncover a challenge — completing it will reward Koumei a random Decree.
A roll of triple sixes will grant a Decree without needing to complete a challenge.
[b]Third Ability: Omamori[/b]
Surround yourself with Omamori Charms, each with a chance to have enemy attacks heal you instead of damage you. The number of charms is determined by Koumei’s dice roll.
A roll of triple sixes grants invulnerability for the duration of your Omamori Charms.
[b]Fourth Ability: Bunraku[/b]
Wield your foe’s fate threads like the strings of marionettes, suspending enemies in front of Koumei. Her dice determine the number of random Status Effects dealt to affected foes.
A roll of triple sixes maximizes Status Effect stacks and extends Bunraku to enemies behind Koumei.

Warframe Reworks
In addition to her graceful Deluxe Skin, Nova will also benefit from a "Light" Rework that makes minor (but welcome) improvements to her antimatter themed Abilities: [previewyoutube=nbflcmIku7I;full][/previewyoutube] Caliban's Rework, on the other hand, is much more robust, as Design Director Pablo Alonso explains below: [previewyoutube=1WkXRGAM6z0;full][/previewyoutube] [hr][/hr]Caliban Giveaway
