· Warframe's Archwing, though released a long time ago, is an important element that offers a glimpse into game design evolution and future update directions.
· Archwing is Warframe's unique space traversal method, allowing players to equip wings and move at high speeds through space.
· In Archwing missions, the equipped Warframe's abilities are replaced by Archwing abilities, and each Archwing has unique tactical characteristics.

· Odontata: A well-rounded, versatile Archwing that is decent in all aspects, featuring a useless flare, a missile with no damage, a repel ability that's close to CC, and a useful energy shell ability.
· Elytron: A heavily armed Archwing specialized in high health and wide-area explosive damage, but it struggles to perform at its full potential due to the low damage of its Archwing abilities.
· Itzal: An Archwing focused on utility, equipped with a grappling hook, black hole, stealth field, and drone summoning abilities. The black hole and stealth field are particularly useful.
· Amesha: Classified as a healing and support type, this Archwing actually provides near-invincible survivability. Its core ability is to absorb damage to restore health and maintain invincibility for 30 seconds.

· Archwing weapons (Archguns) allow you to wield massive weapons in zero-gravity environments and are visually very impressive.
· All Archguns feature powerful projectile attacks, high fire rates, or unique mechanics (e.g., Velocitus's barrage, Fluctus's penetration).
· Archguns have evolved beyond their original game modes; through adapters acquired from the Solaris United, they can now be used as temporary heavy weapons in regular Warframe missions.
· Archguns can have their performance customized with additional mods and arcane support.

· Arch missiles, while visually impressive, can cause motion sickness due to excessive camera movement.
· All Arch missiles offer similar attack animations and a monotonous combat experience, preventing the full potential of Archwings from being realized.
· The Furor mod is considered one of the most inefficient mods in the game.
· The Astral Autopsy mod allows you to scan enemies into the Codex upon an Arch missile kill to gain experience, which is useful for leveling Archwings and Arch missiles.

· Archwings can be utilized as a means of transportation in open worlds, but in the past, there were dedicated Archwing missions.
· Archwing missions, one for each planet, primarily follow traditional Warframe mission types such as Exterminate, Mobile Defense, Infiltration, and Interception.
· The Archwing-exclusive assassination mission (Jordas Golem) allows you to obtain Atlas.
· Unique Archwing missions include 'Rush,' which involves quickly navigating through Corpus ship interiors, and 'Pursuit,' which involves chasing and destroying Grineer ships.

· Archwing's greatest strength lies in its free flight and combat experience in three-dimensional space.
· Currently, most Archwing missions remain static objective types, failing to fully utilize Archwing's potential.
· Archwing's future lies in its integration as a support role within Railjack, offering a mission experience that transitions between ground and space combat.
· Submersible served as a testing ground for transitioning between Archwing and ground combat, but yielded poor results.
· Archwings require improvements in damage and survivability to evolve alongside Railjack content.

· Although Archwing has some issues, its core idea is excellent, and we hope it will be loved more as part of the Railjack mode.
· A modular update for Archwing seems impossible at the moment.
· Through integration with Railjack, Archwing will play a role in extending Warframe's fast-paced and dynamic design philosophy into a 3D flight environment.
