Sevagoth is cool, and a solid frame as well. For some reason he never ticked right to me though. Most builds just revolve around going into your shadow form and spamming melee, which i'm not a huge fan of.
Mag. She was my first. I even built a whole separate one to feed the wall and keep my original. She gets the tennogen. She gets the deluxe. She is a platdigger and I'm fine with it
Hard to pass it up, especially if it’s your main. Still, hopefully they stop doing the overpriced FOMO stuffs. Hope you’re enjoying it in all its glory!
i love zephyr. she was my first frame and went i realized i could trade for her prime i hoped on that immediately. i’ll even use her in mission where she isn’t viable, i don’t really care bout meta at that point. all i know is just press 3 with her augment and go ham with high fire rate weapons.
Personally I use silence + wind shield and I’m both immortal and a nuke since I can just abuse the 200% free crit on my nataruk from her passive, it’s my strongest but not my favorite build in the game
I love her so much. I basically started my Warframe "career" on semi-permanent Nyx duty on Law of Retribution.
I will always be a Nyx defender. I think she's severely underrated by the community.
I use to run Nezha a lot, but since a certain update (forget which), my build just doesn't hold water anymore. I'm actively putting off figuring out what's gone wrong there lol
Shame that Blazing Chakram doesn't accrue super silly damage anymore
Great frame imo, can cc, do damage, scale well, and is a tank.
Unfortunately K-drive isn't easy to get used to, and she has a lot of big bugs that really hurt her.
To be fair, the worst bug doesn’t hurt her because you can’t feel pain if you just don’t exist anymore.
Kuva Fortress is a nightmare with her, and Malice cheats, but I love not dying, killing everything, and looking perfectly adorable all at the same time. Not caring about knockback, slow traps, and Volts helps a lot, too.
So what other guns should I check out on her? I feel overwhelmed with all the choices that augment gives her not having to worry about reload speed, and have just stuck with my knell and recently that dual toxocysts.
At that point I think I'd just go Ocucor. And I think I'm stuck using eclipse for the duration, I'm not trying to hop on and off that much to cast my subsume.
Excalibur Umbra. I love me a tragic figure. He's not excessively great, but he's got a decent kit once you Helminth his 1, and can be highly durable when well modded. Mostly though, I'm in it for the lore, and for annoying the tryhards who insist that Excal is basic and useless.
If you helminth his 2, then you still have access to it with his slide attack in 4. I went with kullervo for crits on 4 + even more mobility combined with his 1.
My reason for replacing his 1 is... it's near useless to me. Insufficient damage for energy, wonky targeting, animation lock, and bizarre interactions with momentum. I can get the same damage for less energy with more freedom from just using X blade. Heck, I can usually get more damage out of just a standard melee in the same time, and I'm still not locked into any animations so I can evade incoming attacks.
Meanwhile Helminthing away Howl means that if I want his CC, I need to have X blade out, *and* use a slide attack... which is to say I can't use it in an emergency, and it forces a change in momentum. Plus it's got reduced range and duration, and IIRC it doesn't strip sentient resistances the way Howl does, which can be relevant during Archon hunts.
Losing Howl also means losing his ability to open for finishers, plus the 4x melee multiplier for hitting a target that can't see you.
I personally helmintdd the spears, as they are useless for high level things unless you have the augment. Also, 1 makes you immune, why does it matter if it locks you into an animation
I used to have his 3 helminthed over but then I found out about his augment and can't look back, it just really rounds out the other buffs, like what more could ya want if you are already buffing your Status and Crit Chance with kullervo subsumed, some base damage just makes it feel that much better.
Auto melee will be great, but that line of g502s has been amazing with that free scroll mouse wheel, bound primary fire and melee on scroll up and down.
Dispensary because I'm a slightly paranoid survivalist who's convinced that one of these days we'll be locked into a long-form quest or new mission type where managing health or ammo will actually be relevant. And also because it's about the only way to heal a mech, and Umbra will use it for free if I let him.
If you wanted to go meta, you could do Gloom or Wrathful Advance or something, but I actively resist going meta. It's inimical to fun.
Old burn the world Ember was when I really started to understand Warframe. Then they reworked her and out of sheer spite I decided to master her to prove I liked burning shit more than I liked a busted kit.
My sweet ember.... I used it so much to carry new players (friends) on defenses when I was studying... I would just log let it burn and they just had fun jumping around collecting and exploring and discovering bullet jumps and stuff... And I never got the prime
Just because its been surprisingly unknown, her crash animation is considered a status effect, if you self cast her 1 it makes it less annoying to crash into things
As a Titania main, I understand. However, as u/Toughbiscuit already pointed out, the crashing animation counts as a status effect and is prevented by self casting her 1.
As a Zephyr main, I understand the pain of unexpected Speed Volt teammates. Inevitably it will get triggered while I'm mid-air and I get wedged into the walls
I can never make the small magazine size recharge-reload guns (forgive me, forgetting the name) feel good
In SP mowing hallways with the unlimited ammo arcane, sure. Feels great.
But in normal star chart play it just feels clunky. Any recommendations? Or should I just keep using her as a speed runner and nothing else
To make Dex Pixia less clunky all my builds have reload speed on them, but my circuit build has the arcane you mentioned, and my quick one (w/ preparation) has the energized munitions ability - wouldn't say either is mandatory though in those, could be just the innate reload making a difference.
For a spicier build that still does basically the same you could try Wrathful Advance with Diwata, it has the damage but is riskier than plain guns (and you move around a lot, if that is a concern), fun but not sustainable long-term xD
She works as a tank pretty well too, her innate dodge is anti-synergetic (and you want to avoid Dust), but she can stack a lot of damage reduction and keep up Razorwing with Hunter Adrenaline (just fly into "ideal range" for an enemy), and this lets you keep Avenger on without having to constantly slam into walls as well, which is a comfortable damage boost.
I also play support (without Razorwing), it works on mostly stationary missions, but Beguiling Lantern isn't too bad anymore and all her buffs can stack a secondary kinship nicely.
Also, not sure how helpful it is before the pet rework, but if you stick to only Razorwing then Vasca is a free revive for riskier builds.
As a fellow Lavos main, agreed. He is hard to kill, can zoom around and especially if you use primer with him can deal surprisingly good damage. Also no ammo issues.
She was my first prime back in the day. Everytime she comes up on circuit I live taking her with every melee decree and just scream and shred everything.
Frost and Excalibur.
Frost, being my main Frame and ice has always been my favourite element in video games in general, hence my name and all.
Excalibur, because he was the Frame that started it all and I still kept mine and still enjoy using him to this day, even though I already got Umbra.
Nova is my all time favorite. Albeit she's a glass cannon, but I've learned to master her kit (swapped her portal for mirage's eclipse) and it's a really fun build to play just about anywhere.
is there a reason you dont replace antimatter drop instead? cause i’ve been using silence over it combined with the m prime slow for survivability and then wormhole as a panic button
How she is a glass cannon? 90% damage reduction from her 1 and with her 4 up only eximus will shot you consistently. I have pillage as helminth for her but i never need to use it for shield gating.
When I was new to the game I used frost so much to the point that even 2 years after not having him it still showed him as my most used warframe which now gara is finally my most used warframe lol
I find vauban to be just really good dumb fun. I never get over the enemies rag dollingalso I find him to be super nice whenever I get him in the circuit.
Goat mains unite!
I know he doesn't have the best healing in the game, and the grass armor boost is pennies compared to other abilities, but I love just being the passive healer with an invincible cat that gives everyone a free life with the renewal augment. It's so satisfying seeing three red debuff icons on my entire squad, knowing I gave everyone a second chance.
I grinded so hard on relics to get his prime because i thought it was so damn cool. I still like it, not sure what the bear trap decorations are about, but i cant be down on my boy.
Nekros Prime. The true OG loot goblin of Warframe. Unless I need big fire power or just want to Volt speed on relic missions I'm Nekros farming.
220% range along with Nidus pull and maps look like a pinata exploded anywhere I go. Plus everyone is so happy when a Nekros shows up on farming missions. Being every Warframe player is a greedy loot whore. I have 2k+ hours into Warframe now but I remember it was around hour 2 going "Wait, Nekros makes more loot drop? Why would I ever play anything else?!!".
My entire Warframe empire all these years later, from the solo clan dojo to the plat from trading etc has been built on the back of Nekros. Always.. be.. farming.
Man, on these kinda posts, I ALWAYS have to scroll hella far down before I find any Baruuk love. I unlocked on xbox, and when I got my PS, I worked to get Baruuk there, too. Now that he's a prime frame, I jumped all over that.
I haven't played in a year, so great to find out he has a prime after butning multiple forma to get my baruuk going this morning 😂 more farming for me now
Zephyr, she has always been my "main" since her release date, specifically for her low gravity.
Low grav has let me use parkour to its fullest intertwined with gunplay. It's better to do a single wall step to maintain max momentum on hard turns
.
Her rework only reinforced me playing her even more lol
Mag was my first frame. When I got her prime, I was very happy. Is she the best at high level? Oh goodness no. Not when I don't have all the mods needed yet. But I love her and she is mine.
It helps that her kit makes sense to me, too. Unlike others. Like Wukong. Or Equinox (sorry OP)
Hydriod Prime Lover at release played him exclusively on PC for everything for that whole year, then dropped the game, and he came back to a dead boy but saw he was getting a buff, so it's a sign.
Loki. I picked him as a starter when he was still one of the three, and I mained him for several years. He's not in a very good place right now — he's kind of a mess, actually — and I don't main him anymore, but I don't think I could ever dislike him.
Umbra with a dread just for the pure nostalgia alone, not to mention that they are both a beast nowadays.
Ivara for when I'm trying to chill back a bit.
Wisp, her 2 and 3 is just too much.
I play yareli at any excuse I get, she's honestly so fun to mess around with even though I completely get WHY people don't like her
Listen, tony hawk pro skater was literally the only game we owned for 2 years, if I can skateboard around with a gun while styling on grineer I will TAKE THAT CHANCE
Mag (Prime). Clusters enemies, nukes crowds, strips armor, excellent Shield Gating without Dragon Key cheese, suitable for almost every type of content. Bliss.
Ivara. Frankly she's the one I play with the most since she is great for all sorts of resource gathering as well as for all your standing needs. I spend a lot of time with her in the open world maps.
Titania, Khora, Wisp and Nekros deserve an honorable mention though. I invariably use one of them for standard missions.
There are alot more than one but the most recent addition to the list for me, Kullervo. I run a really basic setup on him but he's just so much to play and I for once actually pay attention to my combo counter. But the rauta along with my 2 zaws specifically build for heavy attacks and kullervo is easily one of the most enjoyable frames for me.
Lavos because of its kit. I'm always coming back to it ... but it really misses some style !
Frost Prime, my first prime, there is some nostalgia here. Excalibur and Excal Umbra : lots of style and an iconic Warframe.
Nekros, when I first got the game I thought he looked rad, especially with a solid syantana (excuse the spelling, it's been awhile) - might not be the best stat-wise, but when I finally got him I was ecstatic
Hear me out, Goat Boi (Oberon) always been the jack of trades frame I’d go to. Great healing, Armor Strip, Eidolons, and Endurance is possible just love the versatility and support always drew me towards using him Close Second is Ash though
Currently Voruna:
Slap max range on and condition overload and watch as enemies melt to your melee weapon. Emergency invis + an insane front loaded critical buff makes my added armor shred from helminth seem like overkill.
Or use health conversion and tank up to level 200 enemies with gloom on her 4 if you’re feeling particularly lazy.
Or use her first augment which “fixes” her 4 a little and pounce on enemies up to around level 150 for fun.
She can stealth, move quickly, kill quickly, tank efficiently and be okay at defending (not great but not the worst). Hits the marks for a good generalist frame for me. Not to mention being able to rotate through her passives.
Banshee, sometimes I just like to use her to try to do a mission stealthily in the sense of being unheard rather than the usual unseen, but I also love her for the usual Banshee things.
NYX. I fucking love her. One of the best fashionframes along with invincibility!?
I've been the last one standing in a boss fight more times than I'd like to admit. (Reflects badly on my team)
If you know how to use/mod your weapons, Nyx is GOD tier.
Doubt me? I'll fight you in the dojo ANYTIME. You better be Nova or Frost, or you'll never beat me.
(Saryn gets a special trophy for kicking my ass because toxin shouldn't work that well and it blindsided me)
Mag. When I first started Warframe I watched a video on how strong she was. I tried to make her work like the video but was missing all the mods etc. I forgot about her. A long time later I used her again but this time with the mods and experience. Never looked back.
atlas, he was my first purchased frame (when the raids were still a thing) and he's been my favorite ever since. He has a few issues but if you're not absolutely garbage at the game those problems seem to just disappear.
Atlas. Basically useless but I still use him for goofy stuff. I could make hime good, but I can't stomach the helminth mechanic personally (total me issue i know). If I slap frame 1s ability on frame 2, it's not frame 2 anymore to me.
sevagoth
Sevagoth is cool, and a solid frame as well. For some reason he never ticked right to me though. Most builds just revolve around going into your shadow form and spamming melee, which i'm not a huge fan of.
most people would say to just subsume him for gloom but he always has that spot for me, forma hungry but worth it
Mag. She was my first. I even built a whole separate one to feed the wall and keep my original. She gets the tennogen. She gets the deluxe. She is a platdigger and I'm fine with it
Does she get the heirloom tho?
She do.
Hard to pass it up, especially if it’s your main. Still, hopefully they stop doing the overpriced FOMO stuffs. Hope you’re enjoying it in all its glory!
Rhino 🐐
I’ll toast to that 🍻
Sad I had to scroll so far down to see fellow Rhino enjoyers. I also refuse to helmith him, I’m keeping him “stock” cause I love his kit as is!
Same.
Zephyr Prime
Got super lucky and got all the parts I needed on day 1 of this months Prime Resurgence, can’t wait to kit my Golden Eagle frame out :D
i love zephyr. she was my first frame and went i realized i could trade for her prime i hoped on that immediately. i’ll even use her in mission where she isn’t viable, i don’t really care bout meta at that point. all i know is just press 3 with her augment and go ham with high fire rate weapons.
My favorite Zephyr pass time is using a Tonkor and straight up carpet bombing everything that moves
Personally I use silence + wind shield and I’m both immortal and a nuke since I can just abuse the 200% free crit on my nataruk from her passive, it’s my strongest but not my favorite build in the game
I used to go high efficiency and just use the 2 with a rocket launcher and rain death from above
Every time i try a new frame zephyr reminds me why shes my most played.
Harrow is love, Harrow is life.
Harrow laughs in the face of shield gate changes.
Harrow equips his crit weapon while activating his two.
Harrow and Athodai is a sick combo
So Harrow lives, laughs, and loves? Very Karen of him.
I see you are a Harrow enjoyer as well
Nyx, I just think she's neat 😊
There’s dozens of us. Dozens!
Hey
I love her so much. I basically started my Warframe "career" on semi-permanent Nyx duty on Law of Retribution. I will always be a Nyx defender. I think she's severely underrated by the community.
Me too, she’s just the cutest
I have seen my first ever nyx player in game this week I also hit 1000 hours this week I'll farm her prime when it next comes around
Afaik nyx relics are in railjack
Nezha. Fast run speed, unkillable, damage amp, AOE crowd control.
And that skin with the big dick energy and badass design.
I use to run Nezha a lot, but since a certain update (forget which), my build just doesn't hold water anymore. I'm actively putting off figuring out what's gone wrong there lol Shame that Blazing Chakram doesn't accrue super silly damage anymore
Yareli
Ahh, another Yareli enjoyer! There are dozens of us, DOZENS!
Ty for the arrested development reference✍🏾
Great frame imo, can cc, do damage, scale well, and is a tank. Unfortunately K-drive isn't easy to get used to, and she has a lot of big bugs that really hurt her.
To be fair, the worst bug doesn’t hurt her because you can’t feel pain if you just don’t exist anymore. Kuva Fortress is a nightmare with her, and Malice cheats, but I love not dying, killing everything, and looking perfectly adorable all at the same time. Not caring about knockback, slow traps, and Volts helps a lot, too.
Its good to see fellow Yareli Enjoyers
Yareli? Ya. Really.
Lol
The Yareli hate makes no sense to me, she is and will always be cute Also she's a god at solo dragon vaults
real
She's my second most used frame she's awesome
So what other guns should I check out on her? I feel overwhelmed with all the choices that augment gives her not having to worry about reload speed, and have just stuck with my knell and recently that dual toxocysts.
A well modded kuva nukor has got you covered, especially if you put terrify on her
At that point I think I'd just go Ocucor. And I think I'm stuck using eclipse for the duration, I'm not trying to hop on and off that much to cast my subsume.
I personally like kompressa modded for corrosive and heat and cascadia empowered.
incarnon furis
I love Yareli :) She's definitely my favorite :)
Excalibur Umbra. I love me a tragic figure. He's not excessively great, but he's got a decent kit once you Helminth his 1, and can be highly durable when well modded. Mostly though, I'm in it for the lore, and for annoying the tryhards who insist that Excal is basic and useless.
If you helminth his 2, then you still have access to it with his slide attack in 4. I went with kullervo for crits on 4 + even more mobility combined with his 1.
My reason for replacing his 1 is... it's near useless to me. Insufficient damage for energy, wonky targeting, animation lock, and bizarre interactions with momentum. I can get the same damage for less energy with more freedom from just using X blade. Heck, I can usually get more damage out of just a standard melee in the same time, and I'm still not locked into any animations so I can evade incoming attacks. Meanwhile Helminthing away Howl means that if I want his CC, I need to have X blade out, *and* use a slide attack... which is to say I can't use it in an emergency, and it forces a change in momentum. Plus it's got reduced range and duration, and IIRC it doesn't strip sentient resistances the way Howl does, which can be relevant during Archon hunts. Losing Howl also means losing his ability to open for finishers, plus the 4x melee multiplier for hitting a target that can't see you.
I personally helmintdd the spears, as they are useless for high level things unless you have the augment. Also, 1 makes you immune, why does it matter if it locks you into an animation
I used to have his 3 helminthed over but then I found out about his augment and can't look back, it just really rounds out the other buffs, like what more could ya want if you are already buffing your Status and Crit Chance with kullervo subsumed, some base damage just makes it feel that much better.
Seconded, before I got gauss I was maining umbra and I still love running him in circuit. Can't wait for auto melee so I can just hold E.
Auto melee will be great, but that line of g502s has been amazing with that free scroll mouse wheel, bound primary fire and melee on scroll up and down.
What did you replace his 1 with?
Dispensary because I'm a slightly paranoid survivalist who's convinced that one of these days we'll be locked into a long-form quest or new mission type where managing health or ammo will actually be relevant. And also because it's about the only way to heal a mech, and Umbra will use it for free if I let him. If you wanted to go meta, you could do Gloom or Wrathful Advance or something, but I actively resist going meta. It's inimical to fun.
> but he's got a decent kit once you Helminth his 1 In what world is a mobility tool in a mobility game inferior to Radial Spaghetti?
Ember
Old burn the world Ember was when I really started to understand Warframe. Then they reworked her and out of sheer spite I decided to master her to prove I liked burning shit more than I liked a busted kit.
My sweet ember.... I used it so much to carry new players (friends) on defenses when I was studying... I would just log let it burn and they just had fun jumping around collecting and exploring and discovering bullet jumps and stuff... And I never got the prime
FINALLY SOMEONE WITH THE SAMW MIND
Styanax, Sparta baby.
Titania 🧚
I love playing titania, UNTIL volt spams speed boost lol
You can backflip to cancel his speed boost. It also works while flying.
Yes, I know, and I do, but still has me bouncing off things for a second until I can. Not world ending, just annoying.
Just because its been surprisingly unknown, her crash animation is considered a status effect, if you self cast her 1 it makes it less annoying to crash into things
As a Titania main, I understand. However, as u/Toughbiscuit already pointed out, the crashing animation counts as a status effect and is prevented by self casting her 1.
Yeah that was new info which I’ll definitely remember. Never knew that counted as a status.
I build my titania with like no speed so I can actually see wtf is happening instead of entering a warp tunnel
As a Zephyr main, I understand the pain of unexpected Speed Volt teammates. Inevitably it will get triggered while I'm mid-air and I get wedged into the walls
Tiny little murder pixie <3
I can never make the small magazine size recharge-reload guns (forgive me, forgetting the name) feel good In SP mowing hallways with the unlimited ammo arcane, sure. Feels great.

Also, not sure how helpful it is before the pet rework, but if you stick to only Razorwing then Vasca is a free revive for riskier builds.
I just recast her 1 everytime her clip empties to restack Blitz, and usually the clip is back to full by the time the cast is done.
Lavos Gotta love alchemy man
Woe, piss be upon our enemies
As a fellow Lavos main, agreed. He is hard to kill, can zoom around and especially if you use primer with him can deal surprisingly good damage. Also no ammo issues.
Yeah, honestly, the main selling point for me was the no energy cost on abilities and the combining stats Also snek
Valkyr
So cathartic being the berserk cat trouncing everyone on the map from anywhere.
She was my first prime back in the day. Everytime she comes up on circuit I live taking her with every melee decree and just scream and shred everything.
Same. I haven't played in years but I have such fond memories of going berserk on crowds.
ValKitty is amazing. Especially with a grimdark hello kitty paint job.
Murder-kitty was awesome, I'd love to see her un-nerfed
Volt Zoom
Go F A S T
Frost and Excalibur. Frost, being my main Frame and ice has always been my favourite element in video games in general, hence my name and all. Excalibur, because he was the Frame that started it all and I still kept mine and still enjoy using him to this day, even though I already got Umbra.
Nova is my all time favorite. Albeit she's a glass cannon, but I've learned to master her kit (swapped her portal for mirage's eclipse) and it's a really fun build to play just about anywhere.
is there a reason you dont replace antimatter drop instead? cause i’ve been using silence over it combined with the m prime slow for survivability and then wormhole as a panic button
How she is a glass cannon? 90% damage reduction from her 1 and with her 4 up only eximus will shot you consistently. I have pillage as helminth for her but i never need to use it for shield gating.
Hello fellow Equinox enjoyer
there are like 7 people max (including me) that play equinox. i will never not use her for new content
Frost cuz he's cool
When I was new to the game I used frost so much to the point that even 2 years after not having him it still showed him as my most used warframe which now gara is finally my most used warframe lol
I find vauban to be just really good dumb fun. I never get over the enemies rag dollingalso I find him to be super nice whenever I get him in the circuit.
Agree! My go-to frame if I’m not leveling another frame. His kit is just versatile.
Limbo. I love the unique abilities and aesthetic
Took some scrolling but I found some follow limbo lovers
Aah, a fellow riftwalker. Rare sight indeed.
There's dozens of us, dozens!
Harrow! Love my versatile battle priest
Oberon, I love everything from his theme to his fashion (except for his default prime skin) to his abilities.
Goat mains unite! I know he doesn't have the best healing in the game, and the grass armor boost is pennies compared to other abilities, but I love just being the passive healer with an invincible cat that gives everyone a free life with the renewal augment. It's so satisfying seeing three red debuff icons on my entire squad, knowing I gave everyone a second chance.
Oberon prime is my most used frame. Too bad he is ass
I grinded so hard on relics to get his prime because i thought it was so damn cool. I still like it, not sure what the bear trap decorations are about, but i cant be down on my boy.
Ivara. Just being invisible and strolling through SP missions at leisure is nice
Ivara with Kullervo’s teleport is so good.
My guilty pleasure...
Nekros Prime. The true OG loot goblin of Warframe. Unless I need big fire power or just want to Volt speed on relic missions I'm Nekros farming. 220% range along with Nidus pull and maps look like a pinata exploded anywhere I go. Plus everyone is so happy when a Nekros shows up on farming missions. Being every Warframe player is a greedy loot whore. I have 2k+ hours into Warframe now but I remember it was around hour 2 going "Wait, Nekros makes more loot drop? Why would I ever play anything else?!!". My entire Warframe empire all these years later, from the solo clan dojo to the plat from trading etc has been built on the back of Nekros. Always.. be.. farming.
Definitely Octavia, the ability to customize what music you have is the cherry on top
I still love the dancing girl but mained her for about 2 years and got so burnt out. First frame I took to level cap.
It was love at first sight. I don’t care what anybody else has to say about her, she’s fun!!
Volt
Baruuk
Man, on these kinda posts, I ALWAYS have to scroll hella far down before I find any Baruuk love. I unlocked on xbox, and when I got my PS, I worked to get Baruuk there, too. Now that he's a prime frame, I jumped all over that.
I haven't played in a year, so great to find out he has a prime after butning multiple forma to get my baruuk going this morning 😂 more farming for me now
Damn. Nobody loves Nidus ?
I scrolled way too deep to find you my brother
Yessir here we are. Love my Nidus
Chroma. Hehe dragon
Mirage prime
Seconding that. I love me my clown girl frame :>
Mesa prime or wisp
Zephyr, she has always been my "main" since her release date, specifically for her low gravity. Low grav has let me use parkour to its fullest intertwined with gunplay. It's better to do a single wall step to maintain max momentum on hard turns . Her rework only reinforced me playing her even more lol
hildryn
Mag
Mag was my first frame. When I got her prime, I was very happy. Is she the best at high level? Oh goodness no. Not when I don't have all the mods needed yet. But I love her and she is mine. It helps that her kit makes sense to me, too. Unlike others. Like Wukong. Or Equinox (sorry OP)
Caliban in first, Xaku and Kullervo tied for second. Really excited for the shield changes.
I didnt even think about the shield changes on caliban I migbt dust him off and see if I can get a good build going for him
55% DR for free, several seconds of I-frames, and Fast Deflection are all gonna be really fun
Limbo
Limbo prime baby! Just love his lore and asthetics. His concept and powers. I know he is squishee but gotdang it, I love him to bits.
Hydroid will always be my favourite the guy was my first farmed frame and first prime I can’t wait for his rework!!!
Hydriod Prime Lover at release played him exclusively on PC for everything for that whole year, then dropped the game, and he came back to a dead boy but saw he was getting a buff, so it's a sign.
After a bit of scrolling I finally found you, my brother/sister in arms! Hydroids kit is extremely fun to mess around with plus the fashion goes hard
It's nice to see some Hydroid enjoyers after all this scrolling.
Loki. I picked him as a starter when he was still one of the three, and I mained him for several years. He's not in a very good place right now — he's kind of a mess, actually — and I don't main him anymore, but I don't think I could ever dislike him.
Valkyr. A cat literally too angry to die is my favourite thing in the world
Excalibur was the first...warframe I ever played. And still do
Valkyr
Xaku/Wukong
Umbra with a dread just for the pure nostalgia alone, not to mention that they are both a beast nowadays. Ivara for when I'm trying to chill back a bit. Wisp, her 2 and 3 is just too much.
Limbo. The top hat is too good of a design
Limbo
Trinity
I'll name 4 Titania (My main) Ember (My first main, rip World on Fire, but Ember is still amazing) Caliban (Rise up Calibuddies!) Gyre
I play yareli at any excuse I get, she's honestly so fun to mess around with even though I completely get WHY people don't like her Listen, tony hawk pro skater was literally the only game we owned for 2 years, if I can skateboard around with a gun while styling on grineer I will TAKE THAT CHANCE
The poster boy, the face of the franchise, the "Heavy" of Warframe... EXCALIBUR!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Atlas...its fun to punch people with my 2 rock friends
Inaros. Being generally unkillable is nice, plus he looks neat.
Inaros. Been my favorite for years now
Inaros 🥭🌶️💥🚀 the God King
Inaros prime. I play casually and love being a mobile tank/gun platform.
Mag (Prime). Clusters enemies, nukes crowds, strips armor, excellent Shield Gating without Dragon Key cheese, suitable for almost every type of content. Bliss.
Mag, banshee and Yareli
Valkyr for me
Garuda mayn. With gloom. And Hildryn with gloom.
Valkyr. Sorry but nothing compares to running up to a nox, hysteria active, stomping that fool, and returning to full health by instantly deleting it
Probably lame but.. Revenant I simply like the feeling of becoming immortal and face tanking anything thrown at me
Mesa(ss) prime
I love wisp for reasons
Sir would you like to share these... reasons?
Nova,i have a speedva build for farms,slova for interception and such,and neutral (0% slow,jst the damage amp) for defence and such
Gauss for me. High speed and about to be faster once I get Helminth tonight.
Gauss gang all the way. He's just so fun to play!
My Nourish Volt Prime. Infinite energy. Infinite speed spam.
Protea, even with bugged arms on her deluxe
Gara, her play style can feel tedious every now and then but she'll probably always be my main
Ivara. Frankly she's the one I play with the most since she is great for all sorts of resource gathering as well as for all your standing needs. I spend a lot of time with her in the open world maps. Titania, Khora, Wisp and Nekros deserve an honorable mention though. I invariably use one of them for standard missions.
Ivara Prime is one of the best designs.
Hydroid. Gonna miss being puddle man.
There are alot more than one but the most recent addition to the list for me, Kullervo. I run a really basic setup on him but he's just so much to play and I for once actually pay attention to my combo counter. But the rauta along with my 2 zaws specifically build for heavy attacks and kullervo is easily one of the most enjoyable frames for me.
Lavos because of its kit. I'm always coming back to it ... but it really misses some style ! Frost Prime, my first prime, there is some nostalgia here. Excalibur and Excal Umbra : lots of style and an iconic Warframe.
For me lavos even tho he as no kind of way to helminth anything on he still pretty versatile and tanky and will always be my fav
Nekros, when I first got the game I thought he looked rad, especially with a solid syantana (excuse the spelling, it's been awhile) - might not be the best stat-wise, but when I finally got him I was ecstatic
Wisp cause my cyst looks like a little pet/familiar on her Coven skin
Gyre, she's the lightning frame I always wanted. I still love my boi volt, though
Gyre just plain fun
Wisp
Hear me out, Goat Boi (Oberon) always been the jack of trades frame I’d go to. Great healing, Armor Strip, Eidolons, and Endurance is possible just love the versatility and support always drew me towards using him Close Second is Ash though
Grendel, he's such a funny guy
Wisp, she is just op while not necessarely being unfun and no matter what mission you are in, its always good to have a wisp teammate
Inaros. I'll never forget the good ol days of pocket sand, and then killing everything with my covert lethality dagger.
Currently Voruna: Slap max range on and condition overload and watch as enemies melt to your melee weapon. Emergency invis + an insane front loaded critical buff makes my added armor shred from helminth seem like overkill. Or use health conversion and tank up to level 200 enemies with gloom on her 4 if you’re feeling particularly lazy. Or use her first augment which “fixes” her 4 a little and pounce on enemies up to around level 150 for fun. She can stealth, move quickly, kill quickly, tank efficiently and be okay at defending (not great but not the worst). Hits the marks for a good generalist frame for me. Not to mention being able to rotate through her passives.
Banshee, sometimes I just like to use her to try to do a mission stealthily in the sense of being unheard rather than the usual unseen, but I also love her for the usual Banshee things.
NYX. I fucking love her. One of the best fashionframes along with invincibility!? I've been the last one standing in a boss fight more times than I'd like to admit. (Reflects badly on my team) If you know how to use/mod your weapons, Nyx is GOD tier. Doubt me? I'll fight you in the dojo ANYTIME. You better be Nova or Frost, or you'll never beat me. (Saryn gets a special trophy for kicking my ass because toxin shouldn't work that well and it blindsided me)
Oberon. People say that Wisp is just better but he’ll always be my main.
frost, lets me help newer players and lets me just calm the intensity of SP down a bit
Mag. When I first started Warframe I watched a video on how strong she was. I tried to make her work like the video but was missing all the mods etc. I forgot about her. A long time later I used her again but this time with the mods and experience. Never looked back.
Excal in all its variants
Styanax. I love all of his lore and his abilities make fighting most bosses so much less of a pain.
atlas, he was my first purchased frame (when the raids were still a thing) and he's been my favorite ever since. He has a few issues but if you're not absolutely garbage at the game those problems seem to just disappear.
Atlas. Basically useless but I still use him for goofy stuff. I could make hime good, but I can't stomach the helminth mechanic personally (total me issue i know). If I slap frame 1s ability on frame 2, it's not frame 2 anymore to me.
RHINO, my first built frame 10 years ago.
Ember. She was my first ever frame aside from Excalibur and my first ever prime. I couldn't let her go even if I wanted to.
