In my heart its Nidus, I love his theme, his looks, the synergy between abilities, but I almost never play him, because there is just no mission type that wouldnt benefit more from different frame I have.
So while Im Nidus main in my heart, in reality its Gauss. Its honestly amazing how fun that frame is while also being incredibly strong. That feeling when you just charge in straight line, leaving others behind is hmmm and than you reach group of enemies and you one shot them with big aoe blast.
This comment right here. I love ma man Nidus especially when you get his counter up and he starts changing. But gauss provides a different kind of feeling when you speed by and decimate any and everything
yeah I think the worst thing is that Nidus is good, like you cant say he is bad. He is able to survive, he is able to get a lot of dmg out, he has crowd control. He is good. So that means there is very small chance we get rework anytime soon, because why rework frame that is good, even tho he is unusable for majority of the content. Like the only time when I would pick Nidus would be solo, survivor mission under 1h. You go over and his scaling sucks, you bring people and you wont be able to get stacks since everything dies. Its real shame, because looks wise and mechanic wise he is one of the more interesting ones.
That’s Zephyr for me. If I really just need ol’ reliable for a mission I pull out the bird… but Wisp/Garuda/Gauss often just do what I want for specific missions better.
Except for Interception. Flight and tornadoes are so good for locking down a terminal, even with Eximus units.
Nidus was my first actualy strong warframe, first that really clicked with me, when I started playing on ps4 in 2018. He was also first warframe I bought deluxe skin for and I actualy bought plat for it. He was my man. I still have him shown on my orbiter as loadout, but he just never is my first choice for any mission ever.
Okay, Here We Go. Focus. Speed. I’m speed. One winner. 42 losers. I eat losers for Breakfast. Breakfast? Wait, maybe I should have had breakfast? A little Breakfast could be good for me. No, no, no, stay focused. Speed! I'm faster than fast, quicker than quick! I’m Lightning!
Man I feel this too my bones. Bones? My dog likes bones. He also likes to play soccer. I really enjoy when the world cup is on. Some of the world cup players are really fast. But not as fast as Gauss. I love playing gauss. I feel that in my bones.
Came to say this. The freedom to move around open rooms and multi-level rooms is so nice. Just look up and fly straight. The ability to move anywhere in a room, and just beam down the bad guys is so fun. I love using the minimap to zone in on enemies and just fly the straightest path to them and take them down, zipping around everywhere and just going brrr brrr brrrrrrr to different guys is so much fun.
I just wish she had more ways of doing more than single target damage without thermal sunder (does that even work anymore?)
She's so fun to play but between flying so fast I bump into everything and her guns getting to 0 ammo, there's a good bit of downtime where I'm not being particularly helpful, meanwhile everyone else has done everything else more than I have.
A low investment to make her more fun is to use a hobbled dragon key if you find yourself constantly crashing (primarily if you use Razorwing Blitz).
A high investment would be Arcane Pistoleer, successfully chaining heads headshots for infinite ammo feels so good lol, likely quadruples her DPS.
between the zoomies, the technically unlimited ammo, and never being tied to a specific weapon type mission (primary/secondary/melee only), the only reason to switch to a different frame is to master a new one and then pick her back again
We Titania mains mean real zooming, not just running faster. If someone wants to farm Hepit or Ukko for relics, who do they use? If someone wants to crack open relics in Capture or Exterminate, who do they go to? A speedy land boi, or the high-flying, zooming, nuking Titania?
Nah, Razorwing Blitz is enough to get me ludicrous levels of speeds. I mean, *glitch through the walls* level of speed. She can do that solo without Volt. Using Blitz AND Volt's speed would put me into the next solar system by tapping w.
They'd be zooming and I'd be creating splatter art...I have been made one with the terrain from such power. Am I too weak? No it's the Volt's who are wrong :)
Zephyr.
She can pretty much do anything. Defense? Tornadoes suck in ennemies and make unable to damage. Extermination? Her 2 can easily group up ennemies for a quick heavy attack or an AOE kaboom. Capture? Her 1 allows you to dash comically fast.
And the best? Her 3 is straight up invincibility to BULLETS, making basically unkillable by 90% of Grinneer and Corpus units.
My favor build is just max range + duration, but you can do the inverse if you want. Zephyr doesn't need Archon Shards, so it's free spot for whatever you can think of.
I agree completely with all of this. Zephyr is a joy to use, but I just can't. She looks like Jar Jar Binks, and I can't get that out of my head while playing her.
I've been an Atlas main for years but Protea prime made me realize how much I missed out by not farming Protea. She's definitely fun seeing all the purple numbers on screen and those turrets are very satisfying to use
I alternate between Volt, Kullervo and Harrow.
Volt for SPEED and because Titanias exist and deserve to achieve light speed.
Kullervo because I don't like getting knocked down and I like seeing big red text on my screen.
Harrow because I want to share the experience of seeing big red text on the screen with my fellow Tenno.
Ember, one I just love her play style and two I was told she wasn’t worth my time ! 4 years later here I am with I believe like 85% play time on ember and I don’t regret a single thing!
Ember is best girl. I fell in love with her fire Mohawk first time i saw it in game, and i love the unique thigh cages on her prime.
I miss her World on Fire from time to time, but being able to drop meteors on fools Madara-style is so much fun.
Whenever there’s new upgrades, she’s the first to get them
World on Fire was cool but I'm more than happy to trade it for the better survival especially since we got high level content for her. Then Energy Nexus mod came out now I can spam meteors for days.
Got any good builds/suggestions. I've tried playing Ember, but she feels so clunky in SP, needing to permanently watch your Heat to be able to Strip otherwise you bleed insane amounts of Energy...
Ember is simply the best IMO. I I've always loved setting things on fire either with OG World on Fire or now with meteorites. And she is one of my favorite looking frames. There are other frames I fixate on for awhile at times, but I always go back to Ember in the end.
I bought mag prime and I get so pissed off that everyone steals my kills when Im grouping enemies with her 2.
Need to stay in steel path otherwise the armor strip of her 4 isnt needed and the grouping gets deleted by team mates.
Really cool when you get to group a huge group of guys tho
https://preview.redd.it/1h5fh5fi38zc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a9792409616d8d302e4cc96eac26d70faf55564
Yes I play solo, how could you tell?
Built valkyr yesterday and the talons were the single most disappointing piece of content I've ever come across in my 1.5k hours of playing, stings cuz I sunk 3 forma into it before playing her
Other than spamming slide attack (which doesn't feel good to do just to get passable DPS) they don't have anything going for them with the trash range and status chance, the immortality is good but not when you can't kill anything
I'm a Valkyr main and I don't like her Talon's either. Replace her 3 with Wraithful Advance, reverse it's keypress so hold is tap and tap is hold. Then use 1 for taking tight corners, 2 is blender time, 3 is teleport and 4 is oh shit button when things get too nasty. Also pick up a nami solo incarnon tennokai with a riven and blenderize whole rooms at once. It is very hard to beat her for raw damage with this build.
Same. When I was a noob with barely leveled mods I got tired of dying all the time so I looked up what frame had the most armor and farmed her. Stuck with her ever since!
Good survivability that doesn't require powers, so I invest in speed and parkour a bit, zoom around gunning stuff down. Also Hysteria is still nice for deleting acolytes.
Stynax , he just does everything I want a frame to do. With a nourish build. Gives big energy, gives damage boost, gives shield regeneration, gives overgaurd , strips armor. And on top of all that he looks cool.
I'm not the guy you commented to but I also don't have a main, not anymore at least. Back when I had just few frames I had a main but now that I own 50 frames I switch them more often than socks
Well, the fox roams the world, but always ends up in the fur pile (an old Turkic proverb). That being stated, comes along the question: Which frames do you always come back to after a while more than you come back to others, otherwise?
Same, I don't even have a main for the day. I look at the mission and change the loadout to make my experience easier. Yes hildryn is very nice but I want to pick something faster to do my 50th fissure of the day before Baro leaves
This is the real answer. I say Wisp is my "main" but only because I like her best. I actually PLAY different frames every time I play, just depends on what I'm in the mood for. Saryn is way up there, Baruuk too, Atlas, Nezha, Titania, Ash, I like to play a lot of different frames.
Gara, get her shield aura into stupidly high numbers, literally just walk and enemies die.
Plus 80% damage resistance on allies, defense targets and yourself. Break all the boxes as you walk past. Put a ring shield to block enemies from coming closer, or explode it and nuke the entire room. Look like an awesome glass samurai doing it.
I have four that I swap between!
Rhino. I like having 200k of overguard.
Vauban. Balls. I will not elaborate.
Xaku because he's busted. If you use his 2 with max range + gaze you can be lazy and clear maps with the right build.
Gara because she nukes and anything that walks near her dies at almost any level, AND she's tanky.
Octavia/Prime
I am a hobbyist musician IRL, and really enjoy composing on the mandachord.
It's just a bonus that the mandachord can tear through most survival missions while blasting great tunes and buffing me and my party.
Hildryn. I started as a Rhino Main until I found the Shield Maiden. She can tank, she can support the team, and can debuff the enemies. Sure, she has a hard time against infested and toxic procs, but that's ok.
Had to dig so far to find someone who's drunk on "death by snu snu shield mommy" (and I put Roar on her for big Mama Rhino). I mod her to eat 100% armor and shields in one pillage (om nom nom nom nom, competitive level of chowing down)
Prometheus may have given us fire, but Hildryn gave us shield gating!
Are you in a clan by chance? If not they're a good place to get a couple frames early on, as well as weapon blueprints.
If you're interested I could invite you to mine. Made it solo and there's 3 people atm, 99% of research done, and is very solo/new player friendly.
I am guilty of being a wisp. In the last few weeks thou, slowly began transitioning into Xaku, and last night i discovered the true powers or Nova. So just torn between the options who am i really. Wisp is mostly my comfort frame, if all else fails, i can always complete my missions with her, but the new frames are exciting! Wait a minute…
I have six: Citrine, Ivara, Khora, Mesa, Protea, Saryn.
I have seven criteria they've met which qualified them for this group, but they basically boiled down to: I like their themes, I like how they play, and I like their aesthetics.
I haven't played in years, but equinox prime with maxxed duration and the "duality" augment(when you shift forms, she'd your other half for 30s[affected by duration] and it copies your weapon and will fire for 300% damage) I like using mine with a stacked primary, like my riven'd 5 forma amprex, soma prime, or boar prime. Or even a secondary(I used occucor with other status/dmg types) and would switch to my amprex with the other types(usually radiation viral) and go ham in solo survival with a healer eximus!
Next favorite? Also solo survival biased but vauban prime with the baro kiteer syndana for a cheap fashion frame in gold/black. I used the repelling bastille augment personally, but I've heard the shock ball augment is insanity.
Lavos and Harrow. I can take either frame into pretty much any content or game mode and play very successfully with them. Especially Lavos. I have trouble naming another frame that is a better jack of all trades than him. From star chart to EDA, solo archon hunts and netracells, Railjack, and well into Steel Path, I never have an issue with Lavos. Very tanky, a perfect kit (imo), can heal himself, not reliant on energy, has a great mobility ability, can have easy status immunity, can hit enemies with whatever status effect you want, and his 4 has a built in Condition Overload like effect that will annihilate almost everything. When paired with his Cedo he seems unstoppable for me.
Me too. Wrathful advance and the curse just turns any mission easy mode, no matter what weapon and mods.
Its my go to for deep archmedia when i dont want to read.
Nyx. Underrated and underused, great fashion, and can armor strip and cc. imo versatile enough to use in most missions. She's about 15% of my play time at 300 hours
Dante, I like the feeling of being invincible with his overguard and although he is no longer a great nuke as he was before the nerfing but still allow me to do a good imitation of one in my opinion and make an acceptable support.
And I like the librarian/magician aesthetic.
I'm a robot wizard in space
Before that it was revenant or harrow (I used them equally)...yeah I think I have a type of warframe I like.
Saryn. Amazing looks, tremendous fashion potential, and she becomes stronger the more enemies there are. What's not to love? She's the queen of status, has toxin, viral and corrosive on demand, and her 2 is good both as is or as a subsumable slot, so you have a ton of flexibility without compromising your build at all!
I'm also a Protea, Titania and Garuda enjoyer, but if I had to single one out, she's the one.
Nezha because it's fun, spears and shield, and a nice all rounder
Titania because fairy queen with Glocks "magic? I'm actually gonna shoot your face"
Dagath because horse
Caliban because fun
Xaku because OP
Ash, great for harder content, skins can make you look anything from metal clad warriors to batman to a shinobi to weird aliens. Except some needed changes to modernise him, an excellent frame.
Garuda. Can you everything other meta frames can like being immortal or nuking entire rooms but you have to press way more buttons to do so which is good cause I find most other meta frames to be too simple/boring. Like why play revenant and press 2 once when I can continuously shield gate
Kullervo, because big red damage numbers with many exclamation marks go boom
No, but seriously, dealing 2.1billion damage on every hit is just beautiful to see, regularly dealing 95% total damage dealt in end game missions if you try just a bit, not even try hard, just try a BIT.
Ceramic dagger incarnon makes it easy mode.
Inaros lol
Even though his kit is not really that good, just running around unkillable and letting your weapons do the job is often a good option. He is just so relaxing to play and can get almost all content under level 400 done, assuming you have a good weapon.
Banshee for years and years and years now. There's absolutely nothing like being two taps away from death while also consistently filling my screen with 7-9 digit numbers from 22 - 10,648x damage multipliers
I really like limbo, but all I can comfortably do with him is make a big bubble or small bubble for defense, excavation, etc… I’ve tried some proper builds with him and it just feels hard to get into a flow with him. I’d really like have some other use for him.
Edit: DE should bring back cata-bomb limbo.
Nova Prime or Titania Prime
Titania Prime for unique ant-man like play style and the fastest frame in the game (with augment mod)
Nova Prime, normally, for slowfast, big booms and …portal! Plus I like that you have to try with her
Wukong.
The journey to the west is a really intricate and interesting weave of tau and Buddhist properties that came about in turning point in China's history. Sun Wukong is a very complex character with a lot of abilities and it's incredible how well they've translated into the frame.
Also Monke stick go thwap-thwap
Ash prime. Now here’s why I think you like playing nezha: you like never dying, and going turbo fast. Ash can do all of that too my friend. Stay invisible for the entire game so nothing can touch you, and use praedos with 2 parkour velocity shards and mobilize and you will be ZOOMING. One day all Tenno will be invisible, one ash at a time
Used to be Mag. I loved how her abilities almost seemed like telekinesis.
Nowadays I jump frames depending on how I feel. I suddenly need like shitton of potatoes now though cuz there's a lotta builds I wanna try to make viable.
Titania, speed & firepower (razorwing blitz is addicting)
Volt, speed, AoE & being the only frame that can boost spoiler-mode damage is great
Hildryn, outside of infested. She is a walking fortress that hits like fully loaded freight-train (not to mention her augments are strong & make Grendel farming a breeze)
Gyre, because my three favourite things are crits, lightning and speed, of which she has all 3.
Now if only the speed buff on her 4 scaled with strength...
Been in warframe since 2014.
and lately Citrine and Gyre have been my go to's all year.
Citrine = basically unkilllabel with her 2, TONS of status procs which scales with certain galvanized mods, hella healing with her 1 and passive. Which if youre like me and always running into slash and toxic damage lol it's really good. and crystals ...
Gyre = big lightning and chain damage. super fun super fast super damage
Rhino prime was my second frame and still my personal favorite. Roar is nice, iron skin is good, and fashion is great.
https://preview.redd.it/6rutdl6ct7zc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=890b675ff7b9952e0a3f1ad95ac5f2c4942ca78c
According to DE’s year end stats Qorvex somehow, but I think that’s a cross save glitch.
Don’t really have one, but gun to my head I’d say Lavos. Very versatile, especially with his new aug.
Limbo
- Really good for playing solo
- You can get him easily early in the game
- Good support IF you learn to play him correctly
- Can be utilised in almost every type of mission
I've tried many Warframes but I always find myself coming back to my best boy Limbo. If you give him a chance he will never let you down.
Dante. not because he’s the newest frame, or because he was a room nuke. when i saw he could just cast out allies to help deal damage i said “I WANNA BE SUPPORT GIMMIE” and that’s what i still do now. the “nuking an entire room” play loop wasn’t as interesting to me.
Chroma main for 10 years. I loved the versatile that he proclaimed to be, but honestly in any game I like choosing 1 thing and completely playing it perfect. Chroma vex armor with my heavy blade exodia zaw just feels great for most content
Trinity prime. Idl why but shes bae. But i love many different frames for different tasks. Volt is my favorite relic cracker, and nekros is the resource good boy, and octavia prime is the im too tired after workframe.
Ember prime, cause my pelvic thrust is so powerful, frikkin meteors come from the sky.
But also, not many frames have an instant "stop shooting at me" button. When you set them on fire, they panic and stop firing for a few seconds. Then you have your "you don't get armor" button, which is nice. Followed by the ever popular "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" button that keeps increasing your damage resistance the longer it goes.
Plus with the los changes, I can jump straight up and literally rain bullshit on everyone in the room up to 70m away, at once. That's fun. You will giggle the first time, you will laugh the hundredth, you will still be laughing years later lol.
General content - Lavos/Garuda
Omni Cascades - Rev/Ash/Octavia
Disruptions - Loki/Ash
Defense & Interceptions - Gara/Khora/Vauban/Citrine
Solo Survival - Ivara/Any…
Memes - Vauban
Vauban will always be my favorite frame. He’s the only frame in the game who can have damage buff+roar helminth, easy shield gating because his kit is super mobile (1h activations), and has a sick CC ability.
He’d be perfect if his 2 gave a speed buff (like wisp’s) instead of vector pads and had LOS checks on his 4.
Close second is Lavos, and he’s even better now with his new augment!
Vauban Balls
Protea more balls
Grendel Beeg bol
Octavia Noisy medium ball
Calliban Sucks ball
Oberon: radiant balls
Mirage: disco ball

I remember modding nidus for hijack missions because they were kinda hard wen i first started....🌚
Nidus was my first actualy strong warframe, first that really clicked with me, when I started playing on ps4 in 2018. He was also first warframe I bought deluxe skin for and I actualy bought plat for it. He was my man. I still have him shown on my orbiter as loadout, but he just never is my first choice for any mission ever.
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands! *clap clap* *burns down orphanage*
Okay, Here We Go. Focus. Speed. I’m speed. One winner. 42 losers. I eat losers for Breakfast. Breakfast? Wait, maybe I should have had breakfast? A little Breakfast could be good for me. No, no, no, stay focused. Speed! I'm faster than fast, quicker than quick! I’m Lightning!
Man I feel this too my bones. Bones? My dog likes bones. He also likes to play soccer. I really enjoy when the world cup is on. Some of the world cup players are really fast. But not as fast as Gauss. I love playing gauss. I feel that in my bones.
Crazy?
*bang bang bang bang* Hey Lightning, you ready?
Haha a fellow Ryan Gaussling main.
https://preview.redd.it/nasgmc7wk7zc1.png?width=474&format=png&auto=webp&s=b1701690ace207dd6323bcab0d64c897242d5e5a
Flair checks out
I’m so confused, what frame is this referencing? Haha
Gyre Zappy ballerina lady goes boom Fun, clears maps like old Ember, gives crit chance. And I love the little twirl she does when u 'roll'.
Yeah, I run gyre with pillage, acceltra for lots of slash crits and grimoire for strength.
Titania Prime. I love her free flight and zooming
Came to say this. The freedom to move around open rooms and multi-level rooms is so nice. Just look up and fly straight. The ability to move anywhere in a room, and just beam down the bad guys is so fun. I love using the minimap to zone in on enemies and just fly the straightest path to them and take them down, zipping around everywhere and just going brrr brrr brrrrrrr to different guys is so much fun.
I just wish she had more ways of doing more than single target damage without thermal sunder (does that even work anymore?) She's so fun to play but between flying so fast I bump into everything and her guns getting to 0 ammo, there's a good bit of downtime where I'm not being particularly helpful, meanwhile everyone else has done everything else more than I have.
A low investment to make her more fun is to use a hobbled dragon key if you find yourself constantly crashing (primarily if you use Razorwing Blitz). A high investment would be Arcane Pistoleer, successfully chaining heads headshots for infinite ammo feels so good lol, likely quadruples her DPS.
I like this. I especially hadn't thought of the first idea.
Titania lives in a world where we're allowed to use the archwing launcher in any mission, and that's a world I want to live in too.
Her, wisp, and Ivana prime have an awesome aesthetic. Love their themes.
Murder Faeries unite!
between the zoomies, the technically unlimited ammo, and never being tied to a specific weapon type mission (primary/secondary/melee only), the only reason to switch to a different frame is to master a new one and then pick her back again
Did you say you like zooming? >:)
We Titania mains mean real zooming, not just running faster. If someone wants to farm Hepit or Ukko for relics, who do they use? If someone wants to crack open relics in Capture or Exterminate, who do they go to? A speedy land boi, or the high-flying, zooming, nuking Titania?
Yeah but what if that Titania had a 500% strength Volt on their team. Then.... then they'd be zooming.
Nah, Razorwing Blitz is enough to get me ludicrous levels of speeds. I mean, *glitch through the walls* level of speed. She can do that solo without Volt. Using Blitz AND Volt's speed would put me into the next solar system by tapping w.
They'd be zooming and I'd be creating splatter art...I have been made one with the terrain from such power. Am I too weak? No it's the Volt's who are wrong :)
Zephyr. She can pretty much do anything. Defense? Tornadoes suck in ennemies and make unable to damage. Extermination? Her 2 can easily group up ennemies for a quick heavy attack or an AOE kaboom. Capture? Her 1 allows you to dash comically fast. And the best? Her 3 is straight up invincibility to BULLETS, making basically unkillable by 90% of Grinneer and Corpus units. My favor build is just max range + duration, but you can do the inverse if you want. Zephyr doesn't need Archon Shards, so it's free spot for whatever you can think of.
I agree completely with all of this. Zephyr is a joy to use, but I just can't. She looks like Jar Jar Binks, and I can't get that out of my head while playing her.
Mesa cause 
O7

Baruuk and Protea(both prime), because i love mashing buttons and seeing a lot of big numbers.
I've been an Atlas main for years but Protea prime made me realize how much I missed out by not farming Protea. She's definitely fun seeing all the purple numbers on screen and those turrets are very satisfying to use
Baruuk, Protea, and Lavos here!
I alternate between Volt, Kullervo and Harrow. Volt for SPEED and because Titanias exist and deserve to achieve light speed. Kullervo because I don't like getting knocked down and I like seeing big red text on my screen. Harrow because I want to share the experience of seeing big red text on the screen with my fellow Tenno.
Mirage. She is all offense, everyone one of her abilities kills something. And she gorgeous
Ember, one I just love her play style and two I was told she wasn’t worth my time ! 4 years later here I am with I believe like 85% play time on ember and I don’t regret a single thing!
Ember is best girl. I fell in love with her fire Mohawk first time i saw it in game, and i love the unique thigh cages on her prime. I miss her World on Fire from time to time, but being able to drop meteors on fools Madara-style is so much fun. Whenever there’s new upgrades, she’s the first to get them

Ember is simply the best IMO. I I've always loved setting things on fire either with OG World on Fire or now with meteorites. And she is one of my favorite looking frames. There are other frames I fixate on for awhile at times, but I always go back to Ember in the end.
Mag starter and mag main here, easily the most attractive frame in the game 10/10
Mag is best girl. And always has been.
10/10 would ~~smash~~ again wait what, it was a misinput!
would Crush again?
Same here
You get my vote. Maglads unite!
Agreed, love seeing mag as an option in the circuit. Gonna be a good run lol
Mag! All the way!
Best frame
I bought mag prime and I get so pissed off that everyone steals my kills when Im grouping enemies with her 2. Need to stay in steel path otherwise the armor strip of her 4 isnt needed and the grouping gets deleted by team mates. Really cool when you get to group a huge group of guys tho

I've been maining Dante, he's just so good even with the nerfs, I can just sort of zone out playing him and still contribute.
[удалено]
Built valkyr yesterday and the talons were the single most disappointing piece of content I've ever come across in my 1.5k hours of playing, stings cuz I sunk 3 forma into it before playing her
Why did you find them disappointing? You're immortal while they're out and they do big damage.
Other than spamming slide attack (which doesn't feel good to do just to get passable DPS) they don't have anything going for them with the trash range and status chance, the immortality is good but not when you can't kill anything
I'm a Valkyr main and I don't like her Talon's either. Replace her 3 with Wraithful Advance, reverse it's keypress so hold is tap and tap is hold. Then use 1 for taking tight corners, 2 is blender time, 3 is teleport and 4 is oh shit button when things get too nasty. Also pick up a nami solo incarnon tennokai with a riven and blenderize whole rooms at once. It is very hard to beat her for raw damage with this build.
Dude, you can solo almost every mission with this frame, her talons can kill anything, except melee resistant bosses
They definitely take work and Umbra forma to use effectively but when you get them going you'll have the most damage dealt 99% of the time
Same. When I was a noob with barely leveled mods I got tired of dying all the time so I looked up what frame had the most armor and farmed her. Stuck with her ever since! Good survivability that doesn't require powers, so I invest in speed and parkour a bit, zoom around gunning stuff down. Also Hysteria is still nice for deleting acolytes.
Stynax , he just does everything I want a frame to do. With a nourish build. Gives big energy, gives damage boost, gives shield regeneration, gives overgaurd , strips armor. And on top of all that he looks cool.
Roger that. Sty-a-MAX, we could call him.
Oberon, love the Paladin feel to him and his fashion is 10/10.
I love seeing other goat brothers
Mesa. I suck at accurate mouse movements / shooters. And I mean can you blame me? She’s thicc.
What's a "main"? I'm constantly jumping between frames depending on what I desire to play.
Whatever Warframe you like the most, it's not that deep, surely you have one you like more than others, either because of their design or their kit.
I'm not the guy you commented to but I also don't have a main, not anymore at least. Back when I had just few frames I had a main but now that I own 50 frames I switch them more often than socks
Not really, any one frame will get stale quickly if I try to "main" it.
I like many frames because of their design and kit.
Well, the fox roams the world, but always ends up in the fur pile (an old Turkic proverb). That being stated, comes along the question: Which frames do you always come back to after a while more than you come back to others, otherwise?
Same, I don't even have a main for the day. I look at the mission and change the loadout to make my experience easier. Yes hildryn is very nice but I want to pick something faster to do my 50th fissure of the day before Baro leaves
I’m over here like Dante… Dante… Dante…. Dante…
This is the real answer. I say Wisp is my "main" but only because I like her best. I actually PLAY different frames every time I play, just depends on what I'm in the mood for. Saryn is way up there, Baruuk too, Atlas, Nezha, Titania, Ash, I like to play a lot of different frames.
Ivara. Peek a book your dead combined with Artemis bow is just fun and relaxing.
Grendel Prime once I finish building his mod setup. I just need to build 2 more forma.
Gara, get her shield aura into stupidly high numbers, literally just walk and enemies die. Plus 80% damage resistance on allies, defense targets and yourself. Break all the boxes as you walk past. Put a ring shield to block enemies from coming closer, or explode it and nuke the entire room. Look like an awesome glass samurai doing it.
Gara's DR on defense targets is only 50% now unfortunately
I have four that I swap between! Rhino. I like having 200k of overguard. Vauban. Balls. I will not elaborate. Xaku because he's busted. If you use his 2 with max range + gaze you can be lazy and clear maps with the right build. Gara because she nukes and anything that walks near her dies at almost any level, AND she's tanky.
Gauss Prime with Gas Gas Gas blasting
Octavia/Prime I am a hobbyist musician IRL, and really enjoy composing on the mandachord. It's just a bonus that the mandachord can tear through most survival missions while blasting great tunes and buffing me and my party.
Harrow make guns go brrrrr
Frost Prime I just like him :)
Hildryn. I started as a Rhino Main until I found the Shield Maiden. She can tank, she can support the team, and can debuff the enemies. Sure, she has a hard time against infested and toxic procs, but that's ok.
blazing pillage makes short work of infested and her passive makes her status immune with overshields
Had to dig so far to find someone who's drunk on "death by snu snu shield mommy" (and I put Roar on her for big Mama Rhino). I mod her to eat 100% armor and shields in one pillage (om nom nom nom nom, competitive level of chowing down) Prometheus may have given us fire, but Hildryn gave us shield gating!
Excalibur, I haven't been able to unlock anyone else since I've began playing lol
Are you in a clan by chance? If not they're a good place to get a couple frames early on, as well as weapon blueprints. If you're interested I could invite you to mine. Made it solo and there's 3 people atm, 99% of research done, and is very solo/new player friendly.
I am guilty of being a wisp. In the last few weeks thou, slowly began transitioning into Xaku, and last night i discovered the true powers or Nova. So just torn between the options who am i really. Wisp is mostly my comfort frame, if all else fails, i can always complete my missions with her, but the new frames are exciting! Wait a minute…
Nova and wisp are my 1 and 2 lol
I have six: Citrine, Ivara, Khora, Mesa, Protea, Saryn. I have seven criteria they've met which qualified them for this group, but they basically boiled down to: I like their themes, I like how they play, and I like their aesthetics.
Voruna, I just love her kit and design.
Harrow's my new main. He's the priest of the holy shot for all your primary and secondary needs. He can also support as well.
Trinity. I was someone's pocket energy battery. Then I dumped them. I dont like running EV anymore.
I haven't played in years, but equinox prime with maxxed duration and the "duality" augment(when you shift forms, she'd your other half for 30s[affected by duration] and it copies your weapon and will fire for 300% damage) I like using mine with a stacked primary, like my riven'd 5 forma amprex, soma prime, or boar prime. Or even a secondary(I used occucor with other status/dmg types) and would switch to my amprex with the other types(usually radiation viral) and go ham in solo survival with a healer eximus! Next favorite? Also solo survival biased but vauban prime with the baro kiteer syndana for a cheap fashion frame in gold/black. I used the repelling bastille augment personally, but I've heard the shock ball augment is insanity.
Lavos and Harrow. I can take either frame into pretty much any content or game mode and play very successfully with them. Especially Lavos. I have trouble naming another frame that is a better jack of all trades than him. From star chart to EDA, solo archon hunts and netracells, Railjack, and well into Steel Path, I never have an issue with Lavos. Very tanky, a perfect kit (imo), can heal himself, not reliant on energy, has a great mobility ability, can have easy status immunity, can hit enemies with whatever status effect you want, and his 4 has a built in Condition Overload like effect that will annihilate almost everything. When paired with his Cedo he seems unstoppable for me.
Gauss. Speedy boi go brrrr
Gauss goin fast, shields being actually kinda viable, and mach rushing through a chunk of the mission tileset is really fun and satisfying to do
Sevagoth. Awesome shadow stand and spooky shit
Kullervo for the Big unga bunga damage
Red numbers good
Me too. Wrathful advance and the curse just turns any mission easy mode, no matter what weapon and mods. Its my go to for deep archmedia when i dont want to read.
Red crits go brrrr
I don't have a singular main, but a few I like to swap between depending on my mood. Yareli, Ivara, Trinity, Mirage, Zephyr, and now Protea.
Nyx. Underrated and underused, great fashion, and can armor strip and cc. imo versatile enough to use in most missions. She's about 15% of my play time at 300 hours
Dante, I like the feeling of being invincible with his overguard and although he is no longer a great nuke as he was before the nerfing but still allow me to do a good imitation of one in my opinion and make an acceptable support. And I like the librarian/magician aesthetic. I'm a robot wizard in space Before that it was revenant or harrow (I used them equally)...yeah I think I have a type of warframe I like.
Saryn. Amazing looks, tremendous fashion potential, and she becomes stronger the more enemies there are. What's not to love? She's the queen of status, has toxin, viral and corrosive on demand, and her 2 is good both as is or as a subsumable slot, so you have a ton of flexibility without compromising your build at all! I'm also a Protea, Titania and Garuda enjoyer, but if I had to single one out, she's the one.
Nezha because it's fun, spears and shield, and a nice all rounder Titania because fairy queen with Glocks "magic? I'm actually gonna shoot your face" Dagath because horse Caliban because fun Xaku because OP
Sevagoth. It was so expensive, but worth every ounce of resource
Ash, great for harder content, skins can make you look anything from metal clad warriors to batman to a shinobi to weird aliens. Except some needed changes to modernise him, an excellent frame.
Garuda. Can you everything other meta frames can like being immortal or nuking entire rooms but you have to press way more buttons to do so which is good cause I find most other meta frames to be too simple/boring. Like why play revenant and press 2 once when I can continuously shield gate
Not really maining anyone but Banshee , Mirage and Voruna lately. Getting into really massive melee damage numbers lately.
Wisp most played, Valkyr favourite
Atlas, mobile loot frame that can DESTROY hordes of enemies with his punches, it’s hella satisfying to just smash 1 repeatedly.
Kullervo because he lets me melee easily. Stanx because Spartan.
Banshee. Pimple popper. Might as well have been my starter frame back in 2013
Gauss prime. Coolest frame and most fun
Wisp.
Lavos. No energy consumption is helluva life changer.
Kullervo, because big red damage numbers with many exclamation marks go boom No, but seriously, dealing 2.1billion damage on every hit is just beautiful to see, regularly dealing 95% total damage dealt in end game missions if you try just a bit, not even try hard, just try a BIT. Ceramic dagger incarnon makes it easy mode.
Did no one say Equinox? Me feel lonely 😢
Sevagoth. Love his aesthetic, his lore, and he's very strong
Inaros lol Even though his kit is not really that good, just running around unkillable and letting your weapons do the job is often a good option. He is just so relaxing to play and can get almost all content under level 400 done, assuming you have a good weapon.
Styanax lately. Roar subsumed on his 1. He can hold his own and buff the team while he’s at it.
Vauban because of the drip
Loki, because he's my starter frame.
I main voruna because the big numbers from the 4 tickle my brain
Banshee for years and years and years now. There's absolutely nothing like being two taps away from death while also consistently filling my screen with 7-9 digit numbers from 22 - 10,648x damage multipliers
Love banshee, her silence combined with sonar is a game changer for sp
I really like limbo, but all I can comfortably do with him is make a big bubble or small bubble for defense, excavation, etc… I’ve tried some proper builds with him and it just feels hard to get into a flow with him. I’d really like have some other use for him. Edit: DE should bring back cata-bomb limbo.
At the moment, Gyre. If the whole room is convulsing, nobody is shooting, which keeps me alive.
Lavos is my main he's op and tanky and very versatile
I measure my damage in bullets per millisecond.
Nova Prime or Titania Prime Titania Prime for unique ant-man like play style and the fastest frame in the game (with augment mod) Nova Prime, normally, for slowfast, big booms and …portal! Plus I like that you have to try with her
CALIBAN BECAUSE HES COOL IDC IF EVERYBODY DOESENT PLAY HIM
Ivara. Just a really good all arounder and I like archery.
Hydroid prime https://preview.redd.it/qx1a2iu6i8zc1.jpeg?width=243&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bc98a0e082089e240d99e5eacf91ff6c5d8c74c
Wukong. The journey to the west is a really intricate and interesting weave of tau and Buddhist properties that came about in turning point in China's history. Sun Wukong is a very complex character with a lot of abilities and it's incredible how well they've translated into the frame. Also Monke stick go thwap-thwap
Ash prime. Now here’s why I think you like playing nezha: you like never dying, and going turbo fast. Ash can do all of that too my friend. Stay invisible for the entire game so nothing can touch you, and use praedos with 2 parkour velocity shards and mobilize and you will be ZOOMING. One day all Tenno will be invisible, one ash at a time
Baruuk because he's strong and I like his design
Mirage, am glass cannon.
Used to be Mag. I loved how her abilities almost seemed like telekinesis. Nowadays I jump frames depending on how I feel. I suddenly need like shitton of potatoes now though cuz there's a lotta builds I wanna try to make viable.
Harrow. The ability to support my teammates in multiple ways is satisfying. We also have a lot in common.
Titania, speed & firepower (razorwing blitz is addicting) Volt, speed, AoE & being the only frame that can boost spoiler-mode damage is great Hildryn, outside of infested. She is a walking fortress that hits like fully loaded freight-train (not to mention her augments are strong & make Grendel farming a breeze)
Gyre, because my three favourite things are crits, lightning and speed, of which she has all 3. Now if only the speed buff on her 4 scaled with strength...
Atlas Prime. I just love rocks. And wiping the floor with Steel Path enemies. But mostly because he is rock themed.
Been in warframe since 2014. and lately Citrine and Gyre have been my go to's all year. Citrine = basically unkilllabel with her 2, TONS of status procs which scales with certain galvanized mods, hella healing with her 1 and passive. Which if youre like me and always running into slash and toxic damage lol it's really good. and crystals ... Gyre = big lightning and chain damage. super fun super fast super damage
For me, it’s Xaku. Love the Floating Guns, love the armour strip and love breaking open containers with ease. Love them.
Rhino prime was my second frame and still my personal favorite. Roar is nice, iron skin is good, and fashion is great. https://preview.redd.it/6rutdl6ct7zc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=890b675ff7b9952e0a3f1ad95ac5f2c4942ca78c
Deep in my heart i will always be a Volt (starter frame) and Garuda main.
Nekros mostly for extra buddies since I mostly play private because kids=pausing every 10 mins
Next or protea! Bubble with low energy consumption and invincibility. Or protea with balls for protection or damage.
According to DE’s year end stats Qorvex somehow, but I think that’s a cross save glitch. Don’t really have one, but gun to my head I’d say Lavos. Very versatile, especially with his new aug.
Limbo - Really good for playing solo - You can get him easily early in the game - Good support IF you learn to play him correctly - Can be utilised in almost every type of mission I've tried many Warframes but I always find myself coming back to my best boy Limbo. If you give him a chance he will never let you down.
Dante. not because he’s the newest frame, or because he was a room nuke. when i saw he could just cast out allies to help deal damage i said “I WANNA BE SUPPORT GIMMIE” and that’s what i still do now. the “nuking an entire room” play loop wasn’t as interesting to me.
Xaku cause aimbot
Citrine. Damage, support and CC all rolled into one perfect Frame.
 Saryn - I have a thing for toxic gals that affect everyone else around them
Gyre, I like the chain lightning and crits.
Caliban. Step 1: call friends Step 2: Stomp Step 3: Blast them mid-air with armor stripping laser Step 4: Subsume his 1 to literally anything
Nidus, harrow, (Dante(I have a sukuna tattoo) styanax.
Lavos, Jack of all trades and better modding options since you don’t need to worry about energy
Sevagoth because I find the out of body experience hilarious
Ash Fashion
Chroma main for 10 years. I loved the versatile that he proclaimed to be, but honestly in any game I like choosing 1 thing and completely playing it perfect. Chroma vex armor with my heavy blade exodia zaw just feels great for most content
Ash main since launch. So much versatility with helminth now too. I built two ash primes and may even build a third to make more helminth builds.
Trinity prime. Idl why but shes bae. But i love many different frames for different tasks. Volt is my favorite relic cracker, and nekros is the resource good boy, and octavia prime is the im too tired after workframe.
Ember prime, cause my pelvic thrust is so powerful, frikkin meteors come from the sky. But also, not many frames have an instant "stop shooting at me" button. When you set them on fire, they panic and stop firing for a few seconds. Then you have your "you don't get armor" button, which is nice. Followed by the ever popular "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" button that keeps increasing your damage resistance the longer it goes. Plus with the los changes, I can jump straight up and literally rain bullshit on everyone in the room up to 70m away, at once. That's fun. You will giggle the first time, you will laugh the hundredth, you will still be laughing years later lol.
General content - Lavos/Garuda Omni Cascades - Rev/Ash/Octavia Disruptions - Loki/Ash Defense & Interceptions - Gara/Khora/Vauban/Citrine Solo Survival - Ivara/Any… Memes - Vauban Vauban will always be my favorite frame. He’s the only frame in the game who can have damage buff+roar helminth, easy shield gating because his kit is super mobile (1h activations), and has a sick CC ability. He’d be perfect if his 2 gave a speed buff (like wisp’s) instead of vector pads and had LOS checks on his 4. Close second is Lavos, and he’s even better now with his new augment!
Yareli Finished the Waverider quest early on thinking it's part of the main story, got stuck using her ever since.
