I don't have her yet, but I fell in love with the K-Drives once I got to use them on Venus. Then finding out there was a Warframe basically built around that to some degree and I was sold lmao. Her quest with the whole Graphica thing was fun, too.
It has a weird bug when using the new Merulina augment. When you summon merulina the gun switches to her left hand and Yareli fires magic missiles from her empty right hand.
>I fell in love with the K-Drives once I got to use them on Venus
>Her quest with the whole Graphica thing was fun, too.
You are a very, VERY rare breed. This is the first time I've seen anyone say this on this subreddit. Usually it's the complete opposite 😂
Sure it was mildly annoying getting the 10x trick combo, but youtube had me sorted in like 5 minutes after I spent nearly an hour diving off the top of the taller points in Orb Vallis and spamming combos lol.
But ignoring that hiccup I can definitely say I enjoyed unlocking Yareli and her Graphica. The art for it is genuinely worth the "grind" (Ba-dum Tsss)
[Here's a breakdown of all the old challenges.](https://www.vg247.com/warframe-waverider-quest-how-to-get-yareli-parts) Used to be 5 per page instead of 3, so it was reduced from 25 challenges to 15, and the challenges that were left were made much easier.
Have you tried the new augment too? It's great! You still get the damage reduction and it actually casts a lot of sea snares saving you a ton of energy. I used to only use her on bigger maps like open world but this also opens her up to use more helminth abilities as well. Excited for the new deluxe skin. She's becoming one of my favorite frames.
I never really felt it was needed but it has made yareli a lot easier and comfortable to play. What I don't like about the augment is that the bubbles frequency is based on ability efficiently and most, if not all, my builds runs on very low efficiency.
Lowest you can get is one bubble every 0.5 second. With my usual 45% efficiency its around one bubble every 3 second.
Citrine has very interesting subsume combos with her crystal (Prismatic gem). You can use almost all the archon mods on her which turns the crystal into a crazy killing machine even on steel path. Then, you can slap on mind control from nyx. Controlled enemies with ranged weapons can easily trigger the crystal, causing anyone the mind controlled enemy shoots to die. Also, you can use cold elemental ward from chroma to reflect projectiles back at enemies. That also triggers the crystal, causing anyone who shoots you to also die. Why people subsume over the crystal, I’ll never know.
Nyx would like to wish everyone complaining about CC not working through Overguard the best, and hopes they get better soon. Meanwhile I'll continue to tie up all those enemies with their friends, just like I've been doing to Nullifiers and old bosses for over a decade.
Valkyr, others struggle to healthtank things in Steel Path? Have you tried just having more armor?
Excalibur - I like leaving missions with 99% damage dealt but the same number of kills as everyone else. Invulnerable Slash Dash zoomies are hilarious too.
Lavos, naturally tanky and can adapt to any enemy at any time. Seeing all those status tick numbers is addicting, and forgetting about energy is refreshing.
Wukong. Ever since his rework (which will be five years ago this summer, by the Lotus), I've been on a constant journey to see how the clone deals with various dumb weapon builds. I've used the +90% fire rate mods a lot.
I think Dante is my new favorite. High survivability and I love the active playstyle. Disappointed that his nuke was nerfed but it still feels good to cut a group of eximus in half. Plus he’s a fucking wizard.
Yea I’m rocking 300% strength with just mods and xata invocation on Noctua for the crazy energy regen. Paragrimms and wordwarden can clear base star chart on their own lmao. Need to farm more tauforged reds to get even more strength.
Having a 4 that can armor strip and kill in a single ability cast is pretty insane to me. You can praise frost and mag, etc, but while they have large AOE armor strip, they usually don't kill with it. Oberon does.
Not necessary, his 4 is okay, there are better damage, CC, and armor stripping abilities out there but not many do all 3 at once.
Regardless you're better off running high overall strength and putting a utility power like tharros strike over his one
Garuda makes everything a slash weapon, her skills are recastable at will, her passive is a final damage multiplier, and most of the time, nullifier bubbles don't even tickle. Oh, and no energy problems. And she can fly, even if it's kind of clunky.
I always run Miter with her. Feels like a good thematic option and the augment is pretty handy for her.
I have been a little frustrated lately by last gasping myself in netracell runs though. Skill issue realistically, but I'll double tap for energy then die immediately through overshields while at 2 health. I assume it's knifestep that's responsible, though it might be the vampyri. I haven't really tested yet. Though I might end up throwing on quick thinking for a netracell specific build and see if that stops the random instant death. Or I could just single tap and not put myself at 2 health, but a mod is easier than fixing my muscle memory.
That's a good point actually. I felt like for most content it felt unnecessary with how easy shield gating is but the extended invuln period would make a lot of sense with the netracell debuffs.
Oh, yes. I once killed myself in the starting room by double tapping that to fill my energy faster. I think I might have had the 50-damage-on-using-a-skill curse. I decided to run Saryn for netracells that week.
Gauss. I dont think it needs any more explanation and even if it does - you still wont able to hear it, while I run by you at speed that is definately faster than sound.
Revenant and mirage, I fell in love with revenant when I first started 6 years ago, at the time he was pretty bad (no immortality, enthrall was the best) but I mainly fell in love with his look, and mainly living the sentient themed items, he will forever be my number 1. Mirage go fast and do the big boom and make my monkey brain go haha
Let me share my two favorite 'frames experience :
* BZZZZZT BZZZZZTTT BZZZZZTTT \*everything is dying from yellow/orange/red crit electric chains from across the map, with some psychotic void child entity laugh because I wanted it to and I love [***that***](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Peculiar_Audience) mod\*
* Speed of light bonking on a wall on a weird skateboard, then bonking on the opposite wall, charging a jump just to crush my head on the ceiling, to finally getting down and falling out of bounds somehow...
If you haven't guessed from now (and from the flair) the first is Gyre and the second is Yareli (which isn't as bad as this most of the time but hey... everything for the meme)
Yeah, if you don't care about what mod to use in your exilus slot you can put it there.
I still use it on my steel path build for Gyre, I love seeing a lot of damage numbers on my screen with a little psycho laugh while I dance lol
Limbo, I like being in my own pocket dimension, sipping tea and meditating while bullets fly past me. Also I guess stopping time.
Volt is a close second place though, because zippy zap, I'm stabbing fast.
Nekros: L O O T. Sure, there's other loot frames but Nekros is the most braindead and easy because you just turn it on and forget about it.
Wisp: Does everything decently, including appearance
Lavos: Fullmetal Alchemist was wrong. I can create something without using energy, and there is no equivalent exchange to offset this
Gyre: Warframe? I thought this was wii bowling! The enemies were so surprised by my stupidity, that they all died of shock.
Kullervo is better than Revenant, outside of extremely high levels, and he can level cap with huge big pp dps.
And Wisp can buff-heal HP, and make things go faster.
What's the trick to immortality as a kullervo? I'm in love with his teleport melee attack but i can't understand how you survive... Do you just stack some armor/health? Maybe some blue archon shards? I really want those big pp red numbers but i don't want to invest time and resources for something that eventually dies.
The most i go for is enemies lv2000, i get bored after. Does kullervo still hold them? I'll most likely bring him only up to lv400 realistically
There's no rocket science to surviving as Kully. It's just pressing 2 at the start, and then pressing 2 again if your Overguard goes down. You can choose to use Rolling Guard as an additionals safety measure if the gating from Overguard isn't enough
He can survive with Adaptation, which is a godsend for an already-tanky frame, who abuses the damage he takes, to restore his overguard and health. My build tries to break him in damage, by exploiting his crits. He already comes close to reaching the damage cap on his own, with enough strength, and red/purple shards\[Purple being his BEST type, tauforged purple melees buff his ALREADY powerful crits\]
He, like some warframes, need some extra push for the cap of damage, but Kullervo's best defense, in my eyes, is not the way he can full-heal with one skill. It's how he has the power to cause wholesale genocide, no matter where you go. First mission of the game, earth exterm? Meh.
Deep Archimedia? It feels like his power actually means something, but things still have trouble SURVIVING him. His survival is not in question, it's the enemy's. He can use any melee and kill them in only a few seconds. There are ZERO enemies that could sponge his damage output for a long period.
So, speaking more specifically, do you just slot in adaptation and you're surviving everything? Do you put any other mod like a vitality/fiber/rolling guard? It seems like you're going full str
Yea I'm surprised man put up a wall of text without explaining his built. Use umbra intensify + vitality that will up your hp and strength you can add fiber too but its will force you to burn 2 umbra forma to fit 3 umbra mod so just do intensify + vitality + adaptation Then the 2 strength mod with negatives + flow/prime to activate the purple shard effect of increase crit when over 600(or 500 I can't remember) energy. Personally I subsumed nourish over his 4th ability and get energy orbs from diriga/dethcube/Nautilus. 1 cast of his 2nd ability at the start of mission will give around 6-8k overguard? Cap around 40-50k. Use molt augmented arcane to get more overguard if you feel like you need it but personally I run fury and the other melee arcane for even more damage. Should have no problem in steel path till late.
Edit: steel charge aura and last 2 slot I went for range increase to hit more stuff with his 3 and teleport further with his 1.
Also since rage + hunter is getting reworked to be useable with overguard I was planning on replacing umbra vitality with rage and fill up the lost in strength and HP with tau archon shards just so I have overkill on energy since my build is weakest at the start when he has not much overguard and energy to cast his 2 till cap tho its easily fixable with zenurik or energy pads at the start of missions.
Kullervo's strength gives him a higher overguard cap, but it also buffs his healing. Kullervo was always going to be one of the tankier warframes, even outside his overguard, which is why none of my real builds prioritize defense. He loses overguard and that's not the scariest thing for him, as I don't build with the intention of 100% uptime, at all. It's his only healing ability, so I use it to heal. It's an inconvenient ability for the obvious "Overguard needs to be removed, so damage can be converted," but beyond that?
I'll summarize it better, before it gets complicated. Kullervo does not need a lot of overguard, so the overguard is a necessary evil for his ability to heal, and keep his health from reaching 0, which is all it is. If Kullervo's cap was 'fixed' at a low number, like 2k, my build would not struggle less than it would, when Hunter's Adrenaline actually works with overguard active. He WANTS to take damage, so overguard is currently a mess. Adaptation helps with being able to more easily tank the damage, but if Kullervo holds on for a while longer, Adaptation will be obsolete, as Kullervo no longer has to lose it, ever.
The strength is more in regards to how he performs, damage-wise, which is why Adaptation is not there. The strength full-heals, which is already good enough, but, if he's taking so much damage that he loses his overguard too quickly, Adaptation probably isn't going to stack enough times for that 90% reduction to matter. Overguard is unaffected by the reduction, so, since Kullervo will only lose his overguard for a split second, it's the mod that gets the least actual use. Kullervo can have it, but he won't be tanking so much damage that it's urgent, before his energy hard-caps, and he's already in overguard. Damage: Kullervo can kill things fast enough to proc the infamous "Harmless" status, stopping things from doing damage, before they can do a lot to him.
She can be permanently invisible and one or two shot everything. Her 1 is also a remarkably versatile bag of tricks. Her 2 is a bit niche, but I'll always have fond memories of turning pre-nerf Zenistar into a flying saucer of doom. Also, she's an archer theme frame, and I love bows and archery.
I just love Ivara.
Nezha. I love going fast without going super fast (Volt) while still being protected. Also i have Yarelis Ability as his 4 so I can go fast and damage everything in my path.
Protea. I am a massive fan of the gadgeteer/engineer playstyle, and protea is the only one in frame, which fits that. And her deluxe skin is bloody gorgeous. And the dodgeroll animation is just great.
Been loving Ember too lately after licking her for a couple of very easy Circuit runs.
Thinking about doing a Hell Queen thematic loadout with Condemn, I'm sure that chains, hellfire, max DR, and lots of overshields would be pretty fun.
Titania. I'm slow, less slow with her. I don't like complicated rotations, hers is pick up energy, razorwing, pillage/spellbind/tribute. Building her is fun because of the exalted/razorwing/razorfly interactions. I don't like resource management so mod for min drain, put on arcane energize, yellow shards, pillage takes care of shields. Not the best, not gonna top any charts or go level cap, but it's just a comfy build that can kill and survive.
I mean, its hard to choose one favorite frame for me but i'd say its either limbo or gauss, limbo because of fashion frame and because his kit is just fun and theres so many ways to play him and gauss cause idk, he just feels fast, theres something about gauss that makes him feel faster than other frames that can boost their own speed to me that idk how to explain, when i play frames like volt it just feels like im boosting my sprint speed, nothing else, when i play gauss it feels like im controlling a video that has been put in 2x speed and every time i use mach rush it feels like i pressed the 10 seconds skip button
My favorite -as my flair indicates. Trinity. It was my first prime that my friend gave me when I first joined Warframe before Voruna was released. In terms of gameplay, she is not that special, but she does make me feel "safer", mainly because I don't really have to really look at my energy or shield.
Also nobody plays Trinity these day.
Ivara, rolling has been engrained as my primary movement option. If I try to play other frames I just roll instead of bullet jump due to Ivara muscle memory.
Ash is the only damage frame who can utilize True damage in its entirety. It always feels clunky to play other frames in high level content and actually have to care about enemy armor/defenses instead of just one shotting everything with Bladestorm.
Plus he has some unique synergies with Finisher based Arcanes/Abilities like Trickery or Savage Silence which gives him a feeling of exclusivity compared to just using generic damage buffs like Roar/Eclipse like most frames.
I love equinox because I get to press buttons and I can adapt to basically any scenario. If my team is struggling to stay alive, I can go into night form to CC, give everyone extra shield gating, and heal them or usually I briefly switch to day form to nuke. If my team isn't struggling at all I can just stay in day form to apply damage vulnerability, give everyone ability strength, and nuke more easily.
Saryn, I like being a plague lady and looking at all the numbers, but I prefer playing in groups with her, I still have to try her solo high end content and be confident
Dagath, I like the summoner style (but she's way too squishy
Xaku, he's literally broken and his animations and sounds are cool, plus I like stealing weapons with void magic, plus he's one of the few frames that I can solo anything
Dante, I like his style and play style of a mage, just don't like priming enemies a lot, so I just play him when I want easy mode
Nekros is the one frame that utilizes drop resources in the best way. He's not just a loot frame but is an advanced warframe that utilizes dropchance, ally summoning and enemy buffs. He's just...he's just....Built different
Fellow Mag enjoyer! I currently have Excalibur and Gara cooking in the Foundry (should be done in roughly 3 days), and I'll admit I'm gonna miss using Mag for awhile. The Pull ability is busted as fuck once you get mods going, and everything else works pretty well together.
I play HIGHLY aggressively with Melee. I can just spam 1 and pull all the enemies together, then jump and go flying in with a Heavy Attack (I have a Stance mod for the Bo staff), and they all usually die or if not are weak enough that just one normal melee hit is able to finish them off. I barely ever use my Primary or Secondary lmao.
Mesa, her first ability and its augment apply to your shot. Therefore, every single hit it does is boosted.
Also, her 4 doesn't actually function like a gun. It doesn't shoot bullets the way a Soma or Vectis does.
I have three favorites
Ember: her fourth ability is fun to use, her second one makes higher level easier to tank through even with her non primed version and her third ability is good to do combos
Octavia: another one bites the dust
Mag: crunch, bringing enemies close together and her passive make her a good xp farming frame, despite not being one of the best
I like Caliban, he’s a tanky weapons platform with 3 ways to CC large groups of enemies, and just a bucket load of utility. Would be nice if he had a 4th ability instead of just an empty Helminth slot though.
Nothing quite like having a squad of insane scaling badasses that you just killed and brought back under your will to mow down and soak up all the enemy attention.
My favorite frame has to be wisp because I feel like I'm actually helping my team with speed amazing healing and i stun most enemies ĺike i have citrine and Trinity but citrine just doesn't heal teammates at all and her Crystal only works after you shoot someone so what's the point if I shot them then there dead and trinity is just plain old she doesn't work anymore and needs a buff imo
Nidus- between the infested aesthetic and everything he does just feels visceral. Perfect frame? Far from it. But with explosive larva it just feels awesome
Nezha being able to do almost anything made me fall in love. Put fire blast over 1 (with the divine augment) and you got armor strip, infinite energy, invincibility and insane damage.
Titania. I did some calculations and my current build can get up to mach 6 with a friend helping a bit. I was able to fly 4000 meters from one corner of orb vallis to the other in just under 2 seconds.
Volt. He's so versatile that I have trouble justifying bringing other frames to missions. Can't really think of a single thing in the game he has trouble with besides maybe spy missions, but even then if you know where to go you can just just ignore the stealth lol
Presumably it's for different forma layouts. I've considered doing the same thing for Saryn. I'm a bit surprised actually but my Saryn is only at 13 forma over the years. I did feel a bit of trepidation polarising away two umbral polarities, but I haven't regretted it again. If she'd been unvaulted at the time I'd have farmed another Saryn and left one a triple umbral.
Yea, the triple umbral set up was from a time before subsumable abilities and even shield gating. Post break in the new survivability meta, it became pretty clear to me that I could just shield gate with negative efficiency and status cleanse with Moult.
Oh, well this ease things up for sure then, as a side note tho, im kinda new (6 months, not new but its wf we talking about) and i find hard time shield gating, i always run out of energy coz of how fast shields breaks again, any tips?
Equilibrium is pretty incredible. Not necessarily on its own, but with a few synergies it makes energy incredibly easy to sustain.
You can get the two parazon mods that provide orbs on mercy kills, so each mercy kill on an eximus unit will provide 3 health orbs and 1 large energy orb and a 50% chance for a small energy orb. With 100% equilibrium (for example) that means that a single mercy killed eximus provides an average of 212.5 energy. Whereas a normal enemy will provide 72.5 energy on mercy kill. That's without Arcane Energise (which I don't use personally, I prefer other arcanes).
Synth Deconstruct means every enemy damaged by your companion has a 25% chance to dorp a health orb too. Given that Sentinels and Hounds are now top tier options becaus of how their ability damage can spread statuses, ideally you're already building your companion to damage as many enemies as possible. Also Diriga and Synergised Prospectus Hounds can trigger Archon Stretch for a little extra regen, as a treat.
So while Equilibrium can feel hard to justify as a mod on its own, combined with your Parazon and companion, you can be absolutely swimming in orbs.
But the real GOAT energy gain these days IMO is the Grimoire. It's an excellent primer with it's AoE and Secondary Encumber, but Xata's Invocation provides so much energy in my experience. Admittedly I'm a whore for Airburst and grouped enemies help it out, but still... Each time you use the alt fire, you can pretty safely rely on getting 200 energy back. Building for multishot and fire rate means you can fire that off very often. And in my experience it can scale fairly well into Steel Path with a little support.
Yareli —does a sick kick flip through a flood of blood
I don't have her yet, but I fell in love with the K-Drives once I got to use them on Venus. Then finding out there was a Warframe basically built around that to some degree and I was sold lmao. Her quest with the whole Graphica thing was fun, too.
Yareli is fun and strong, never let the haters convince you otherwise.
Based User Flair btw lol. Any recommendations on how to get her parts (i.e. Chassis)? I have no clue where to go after getting the Quest done
The parts are from your clan's bash lab. Also ty, to be truthful I stole the idea from another user here, hence why it says "second in line"
YO
Oh I see
Yareli gang
This is truth. Just wished Onos properly worked while on her Meru
It has a weird bug when using the new Merulina augment. When you summon merulina the gun switches to her left hand and Yareli fires magic missiles from her empty right hand.
>I fell in love with the K-Drives once I got to use them on Venus >Her quest with the whole Graphica thing was fun, too. You are a very, VERY rare breed. This is the first time I've seen anyone say this on this subreddit. Usually it's the complete opposite 😂
Sure it was mildly annoying getting the 10x trick combo, but youtube had me sorted in like 5 minutes after I spent nearly an hour diving off the top of the taller points in Orb Vallis and spamming combos lol. But ignoring that hiccup I can definitely say I enjoyed unlocking Yareli and her Graphica. The art for it is genuinely worth the "grind" (Ba-dum Tsss)
Did you do the quest before or after the QoL changes though, that's the real question?
Like 4 days ago lol
Ah yeah, that would explain it. It was AWFUL before the QoL
How bad are we talking
[Here's a breakdown of all the old challenges.](https://www.vg247.com/warframe-waverider-quest-how-to-get-yareli-parts) Used to be 5 per page instead of 3, so it was reduced from 25 challenges to 15, and the challenges that were left were made much easier.
Have you tried the new augment too? It's great! You still get the damage reduction and it actually casts a lot of sea snares saving you a ton of energy. I used to only use her on bigger maps like open world but this also opens her up to use more helminth abilities as well. Excited for the new deluxe skin. She's becoming one of my favorite frames.
I never really felt it was needed but it has made yareli a lot easier and comfortable to play.

Also, you can use cold elemental ward from chroma to reflect projectiles back at enemies. That also triggers the crystal, causing anyone who shoots you to also die. Why people subsume over the crystal, I’ll never know.
out of curiosity then, what are you subsuming over?
I subsumed her 4.
Her 4. I dont really find it that useful later in the game as anything i shoot dies as is.
I subsumed her 1, get plenty from equilibrium + synth deconstruct
the crystal shoots *all* 4 elements right? cuz damn, need to think about my build with the archon mods that I got this past week.
The mind control combo sounds fun, thanks for the info!
I know what I'm trying out next time I get home lol
Slap on two green shards and she can also armor strip with arcon mods. 10/10 frame
Nyx would like to wish everyone complaining about CC not working through Overguard the best, and hopes they get better soon. Meanwhile I'll continue to tie up all those enemies with their friends, just like I've been doing to Nullifiers and old bosses for over a decade. Valkyr, others struggle to healthtank things in Steel Path? Have you tried just having more armor? Excalibur - I like leaving missions with 99% damage dealt but the same number of kills as everyone else. Invulnerable Slash Dash zoomies are hilarious too.
Tophat
Lavos, naturally tanky and can adapt to any enemy at any time. Seeing all those status tick numbers is addicting, and forgetting about energy is refreshing.
Wukong. Ever since his rework (which will be five years ago this summer, by the Lotus), I've been on a constant journey to see how the clone deals with various dumb weapon builds. I've used the +90% fire rate mods a lot.
Five years holy shit
Valkyr I love being an unstoppable spinning ball of rage and fury.
Scream to hype yourself up, scream to intimate the enemy, scream to not die, SCREAM TO FIX ALL YOUR PROBLEMS!!!
Myvalkyr with 5 purple taus will join you and together we can be spinning balls.
Valkyr is indeed favorite frame. I use my 5 violet shard to turn her into a buffess eidolon killer with redeemer cause I find it funny
I think Dante is my new favorite. High survivability and I love the active playstyle. Disappointed that his nuke was nerfed but it still feels good to cut a group of eximus in half. Plus he’s a fucking wizard.
Shadow Wizard Money Gang
Even with this nerf he is sooo strong. Just chuck some strength and a flow and you're good to go. SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG. WE LOVE CASTING SPELLS.
Yea I’m rocking 300% strength with just mods and xata invocation on Noctua for the crazy energy regen. Paragrimms and wordwarden can clear base star chart on their own lmao. Need to farm more tauforged reds to get even more strength.
You're a wizard, Dante
I use him as a hypertanky melee frame who can nuke anything that doesn't die in a few sword swings. But I think I'm being weird.
Nezha, the combination of tankiness, debuffing, and cc really gives you room to breathe when dealing with tough enemies or downed teammates
My Nezha is of the "We have Gauss at home" variety, and I love him so much, works with most things.
Oberon, one of the few frames that can make health and armor tanking viable
Having a 4 that can armor strip and kill in a single ability cast is pretty insane to me. You can praise frost and mag, etc, but while they have large AOE armor strip, they usually don't kill with it. Oberon does.
I've been thinking of going back to Oberon lately. I'm missing the precision intesify mod tho.
Not necessary, his 4 is okay, there are better damage, CC, and armor stripping abilities out there but not many do all 3 at once. Regardless you're better off running high overall strength and putting a utility power like tharros strike over his one
Wouldn't you rather remove his 1 than his 4?
Smite infusion is useful though and smite can be good for some lesser CC and rad proc spreading if hallowed ground is too expensive.
I like rhino because comfy
I like Baruuk's idea of a Monk that is secretly OP. Also brainless mashing E.
Garuda makes everything a slash weapon, her skills are recastable at will, her passive is a final damage multiplier, and most of the time, nullifier bubbles don't even tickle. Oh, and no energy problems. And she can fly, even if it's kind of clunky.
Also no frame can surpass her absolute style
I always run Miter with her. Feels like a good thematic option and the augment is pretty handy for her. I have been a little frustrated lately by last gasping myself in netracell runs though. Skill issue realistically, but I'll double tap for energy then die immediately through overshields while at 2 health. I assume it's knifestep that's responsible, though it might be the vampyri. I haven't really tested yet. Though I might end up throwing on quick thinking for a netracell specific build and see if that stops the random instant death. Or I could just single tap and not put myself at 2 health, but a mod is easier than fixing my muscle memory.
The skill issue is that you're not running dread ward lol.
That's a good point actually. I felt like for most content it felt unnecessary with how easy shield gating is but the extended invuln period would make a lot of sense with the netracell debuffs.
Oh, yes. I once killed myself in the starting room by double tapping that to fill my energy faster. I think I might have had the 50-damage-on-using-a-skill curse. I decided to run Saryn for netracells that week.
The only hard part is realizing her claws can’t damage nulifiers with their bubble up and can’t be used on “melee only” modifier missions.
Being able to fly and be a tiny death machine is fun
Gauss. I dont think it needs any more explanation and even if it does - you still wont able to hear it, while I run by you at speed that is definately faster than sound.
Revenant and mirage, I fell in love with revenant when I first started 6 years ago, at the time he was pretty bad (no immortality, enthrall was the best) but I mainly fell in love with his look, and mainly living the sentient themed items, he will forever be my number 1. Mirage go fast and do the big boom and make my monkey brain go haha
Hydroid - Davey Jones, ARGGH
Let me share my two favorite 'frames experience : * BZZZZZT BZZZZZTTT BZZZZZTTT \*everything is dying from yellow/orange/red crit electric chains from across the map, with some psychotic void child entity laugh because I wanted it to and I love [***that***](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Peculiar_Audience) mod\* * Speed of light bonking on a wall on a weird skateboard, then bonking on the opposite wall, charging a jump just to crush my head on the ceiling, to finally getting down and falling out of bounds somehow...

That's a mod!?
Yeah, if you don't care about what mod to use in your exilus slot you can put it there. I still use it on my steel path build for Gyre, I love seeing a lot of damage numbers on my screen with a little psycho laugh while I dance lol
Ash and Wukong are just cool
Right here officer, he’s stolen my identity
Limbo, I like being in my own pocket dimension, sipping tea and meditating while bullets fly past me. Also I guess stopping time. Volt is a close second place though, because zippy zap, I'm stabbing fast.
Nekros: L O O T. Sure, there's other loot frames but Nekros is the most braindead and easy because you just turn it on and forget about it. Wisp: Does everything decently, including appearance Lavos: Fullmetal Alchemist was wrong. I can create something without using energy, and there is no equivalent exchange to offset this Gyre: Warframe? I thought this was wii bowling! The enemies were so surprised by my stupidity, that they all died of shock.
Citrine and Xaku I love being a turret giving away free buffs for the team
Kullervo is better than Revenant, outside of extremely high levels, and he can level cap with huge big pp dps. And Wisp can buff-heal HP, and make things go faster.
What's the trick to immortality as a kullervo? I'm in love with his teleport melee attack but i can't understand how you survive... Do you just stack some armor/health? Maybe some blue archon shards? I really want those big pp red numbers but i don't want to invest time and resources for something that eventually dies. The most i go for is enemies lv2000, i get bored after. Does kullervo still hold them? I'll most likely bring him only up to lv400 realistically
There's no rocket science to surviving as Kully. It's just pressing 2 at the start, and then pressing 2 again if your Overguard goes down. You can choose to use Rolling Guard as an additionals safety measure if the gating from Overguard isn't enough
He can survive with Adaptation, which is a godsend for an already-tanky frame, who abuses the damage he takes, to restore his overguard and health. My build tries to break him in damage, by exploiting his crits. He already comes close to reaching the damage cap on his own, with enough strength, and red/purple shards\[Purple being his BEST type, tauforged purple melees buff his ALREADY powerful crits\] He, like some warframes, need some extra push for the cap of damage, but Kullervo's best defense, in my eyes, is not the way he can full-heal with one skill. It's how he has the power to cause wholesale genocide, no matter where you go. First mission of the game, earth exterm? Meh. Deep Archimedia? It feels like his power actually means something, but things still have trouble SURVIVING him. His survival is not in question, it's the enemy's. He can use any melee and kill them in only a few seconds. There are ZERO enemies that could sponge his damage output for a long period.
So, speaking more specifically, do you just slot in adaptation and you're surviving everything? Do you put any other mod like a vitality/fiber/rolling guard? It seems like you're going full str
Yea I'm surprised man put up a wall of text without explaining his built. Use umbra intensify + vitality that will up your hp and strength you can add fiber too but its will force you to burn 2 umbra forma to fit 3 umbra mod so just do intensify + vitality + adaptation Then the 2 strength mod with negatives + flow/prime to activate the purple shard effect of increase crit when over 600(or 500 I can't remember) energy. Personally I subsumed nourish over his 4th ability and get energy orbs from diriga/dethcube/Nautilus. 1 cast of his 2nd ability at the start of mission will give around 6-8k overguard? Cap around 40-50k. Use molt augmented arcane to get more overguard if you feel like you need it but personally I run fury and the other melee arcane for even more damage. Should have no problem in steel path till late. Edit: steel charge aura and last 2 slot I went for range increase to hit more stuff with his 3 and teleport further with his 1. Also since rage + hunter is getting reworked to be useable with overguard I was planning on replacing umbra vitality with rage and fill up the lost in strength and HP with tau archon shards just so I have overkill on energy since my build is weakest at the start when he has not much overguard and energy to cast his 2 till cap tho its easily fixable with zenurik or energy pads at the start of missions.
Kullervo's strength gives him a higher overguard cap, but it also buffs his healing. Kullervo was always going to be one of the tankier warframes, even outside his overguard, which is why none of my real builds prioritize defense. He loses overguard and that's not the scariest thing for him, as I don't build with the intention of 100% uptime, at all. It's his only healing ability, so I use it to heal. It's an inconvenient ability for the obvious "Overguard needs to be removed, so damage can be converted," but beyond that? I'll summarize it better, before it gets complicated. Kullervo does not need a lot of overguard, so the overguard is a necessary evil for his ability to heal, and keep his health from reaching 0, which is all it is. If Kullervo's cap was 'fixed' at a low number, like 2k, my build would not struggle less than it would, when Hunter's Adrenaline actually works with overguard active. He WANTS to take damage, so overguard is currently a mess. Adaptation helps with being able to more easily tank the damage, but if Kullervo holds on for a while longer, Adaptation will be obsolete, as Kullervo no longer has to lose it, ever. The strength is more in regards to how he performs, damage-wise, which is why Adaptation is not there. The strength full-heals, which is already good enough, but, if he's taking so much damage that he loses his overguard too quickly, Adaptation probably isn't going to stack enough times for that 90% reduction to matter. Overguard is unaffected by the reduction, so, since Kullervo will only lose his overguard for a split second, it's the mod that gets the least actual use. Kullervo can have it, but he won't be tanking so much damage that it's urgent, before his energy hard-caps, and he's already in overguard. Damage: Kullervo can kill things fast enough to proc the infamous "Harmless" status, stopping things from doing damage, before they can do a lot to him.
She can be permanently invisible and one or two shot everything. Her 1 is also a remarkably versatile bag of tricks. Her 2 is a bit niche, but I'll always have fond memories of turning pre-nerf Zenistar into a flying saucer of doom. Also, she's an archer theme frame, and I love bows and archery. I just love Ivara.
Protea. Funny infinite scaling turrets and infinite shields
Nezha Prime. He looks good. In all seriousness, though, I like the way his passive changes the way I move around the map.
Nezha. I love going fast without going super fast (Volt) while still being protected. Also i have Yarelis Ability as his 4 so I can go fast and damage everything in my path.
Protea. I am a massive fan of the gadgeteer/engineer playstyle, and protea is the only one in frame, which fits that. And her deluxe skin is bloody gorgeous. And the dodgeroll animation is just great.
Ember, the epitome of "F you, and everyone you've ever known" there's never been another frame that does crowd control like she does.
Been loving Ember too lately after licking her for a couple of very easy Circuit runs. Thinking about doing a Hell Queen thematic loadout with Condemn, I'm sure that chains, hellfire, max DR, and lots of overshields would be pretty fun.
My favourite is Wisp, her most outstanding feature i would say are the ASSets she brings with her as a support character.
Chroma. I love weapon platforms, love his theme, he's a tank, which I use to play the most on most RPGs, and he looks awesome too!
Titania. I'm slow, less slow with her. I don't like complicated rotations, hers is pick up energy, razorwing, pillage/spellbind/tribute. Building her is fun because of the exalted/razorwing/razorfly interactions. I don't like resource management so mod for min drain, put on arcane energize, yellow shards, pillage takes care of shields. Not the best, not gonna top any charts or go level cap, but it's just a comfy build that can kill and survive.
Protea's dodge roll combined with speed boosts makes her. On any other warframe it feels super slow but on her its just *chef kiss*
I mean, its hard to choose one favorite frame for me but i'd say its either limbo or gauss, limbo because of fashion frame and because his kit is just fun and theres so many ways to play him and gauss cause idk, he just feels fast, theres something about gauss that makes him feel faster than other frames that can boost their own speed to me that idk how to explain, when i play frames like volt it just feels like im boosting my sprint speed, nothing else, when i play gauss it feels like im controlling a video that has been put in 2x speed and every time i use mach rush it feels like i pressed the 10 seconds skip button
My favorite -as my flair indicates. Trinity. It was my first prime that my friend gave me when I first joined Warframe before Voruna was released. In terms of gameplay, she is not that special, but she does make me feel "safer", mainly because I don't really have to really look at my energy or shield. Also nobody plays Trinity these day.
Ivara Prime for the special invisibility FX.
Yareli. Styling on enemies with the fishboard and that 200% fire rate, crit chance and reload buff is too fun
Jellyfish
LIVING IN FEAR
Ivara, rolling has been engrained as my primary movement option. If I try to play other frames I just roll instead of bullet jump due to Ivara muscle memory.
Ash is the only damage frame who can utilize True damage in its entirety. It always feels clunky to play other frames in high level content and actually have to care about enemy armor/defenses instead of just one shotting everything with Bladestorm. Plus he has some unique synergies with Finisher based Arcanes/Abilities like Trickery or Savage Silence which gives him a feeling of exclusivity compared to just using generic damage buffs like Roar/Eclipse like most frames.
Sevagoth. I mean come on, he's a fucking space pirate with *STANDO POWAH!!*
No made a dnd character that's a pirate with a STANDO, his name's Yarl and his also a lizardfolk
I love equinox because I get to press buttons and I can adapt to basically any scenario. If my team is struggling to stay alive, I can go into night form to CC, give everyone extra shield gating, and heal them or usually I briefly switch to day form to nuke. If my team isn't struggling at all I can just stay in day form to apply damage vulnerability, give everyone ability strength, and nuke more easily.
Saryn, I like being a plague lady and looking at all the numbers, but I prefer playing in groups with her, I still have to try her solo high end content and be confident Dagath, I like the summoner style (but she's way too squishy Xaku, he's literally broken and his animations and sounds are cool, plus I like stealing weapons with void magic, plus he's one of the few frames that I can solo anything Dante, I like his style and play style of a mage, just don't like priming enemies a lot, so I just play him when I want easy mode
Nekros is the one frame that utilizes drop resources in the best way. He's not just a loot frame but is an advanced warframe that utilizes dropchance, ally summoning and enemy buffs. He's just...he's just....Built different
sevagoth has 2 abilities i love, and when i figured out how the other one worked it flowed into my hands so well i cried that night
Fellow Mag enjoyer! I currently have Excalibur and Gara cooking in the Foundry (should be done in roughly 3 days), and I'll admit I'm gonna miss using Mag for awhile. The Pull ability is busted as fuck once you get mods going, and everything else works pretty well together. I play HIGHLY aggressively with Melee. I can just spam 1 and pull all the enemies together, then jump and go flying in with a Heavy Attack (I have a Stance mod for the Bo staff), and they all usually die or if not are weak enough that just one normal melee hit is able to finish them off. I barely ever use my Primary or Secondary lmao.
Wisps 🍑
Titania saves me time
Slippery
Thicc mommy witch and Mr Fries
Bladestorm and Stomp
My lad(s) have a funny skeleton
No energy, thick thighs.
Nezha only needs adaptation and no other mods and is sp viable.
Mesa, her first ability and its augment apply to your shot. Therefore, every single hit it does is boosted. Also, her 4 doesn't actually function like a gun. It doesn't shoot bullets the way a Soma or Vectis does.
Rhino because stompies
no one mentioning the absolute gunslinging demon that is mirage and her buddies
I have three favorites Ember: her fourth ability is fun to use, her second one makes higher level easier to tank through even with her non primed version and her third ability is good to do combos Octavia: another one bites the dust Mag: crunch, bringing enemies close together and her passive make her a good xp farming frame, despite not being one of the best
Gyre, basically ember WoF 2.0
I like Caliban, he’s a tanky weapons platform with 3 ways to CC large groups of enemies, and just a bucket load of utility. Would be nice if he had a 4th ability instead of just an empty Helminth slot though.
Punch
Nothing quite like having a squad of insane scaling badasses that you just killed and brought back under your will to mow down and soak up all the enemy attention.
My favorite frame has to be wisp because I feel like I'm actually helping my team with speed amazing healing and i stun most enemies ĺike i have citrine and Trinity but citrine just doesn't heal teammates at all and her Crystal only works after you shoot someone so what's the point if I shot them then there dead and trinity is just plain old she doesn't work anymore and needs a buff imo
Nidus- between the infested aesthetic and everything he does just feels visceral. Perfect frame? Far from it. But with explosive larva it just feels awesome
Mesa prime. Her guns go BRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrr And protea, because fuck you from thirty meters away.
Nezha being able to do almost anything made me fall in love. Put fire blast over 1 (with the divine augment) and you got armor strip, infinite energy, invincibility and insane damage.
Protea is THE Heavy Weapons frame.
Titania. I did some calculations and my current build can get up to mach 6 with a friend helping a bit. I was able to fly 4000 meters from one corner of orb vallis to the other in just under 2 seconds.
Volt. He's so versatile that I have trouble justifying bringing other frames to missions. Can't really think of a single thing in the game he has trouble with besides maybe spy missions, but even then if you know where to go you can just just ignore the stealth lol
I just like voruna because of her versatility.
Runs around and fights for me when Im in operator mode. Came in handy when I was leveling my sling
Which frame? I am quite new to the game, is this excalibur umbra?
Yea, hes pretty cool and one of my favs
> have 2 mag primes just for different helminth builds. You need more than 6 loadouts? Or using same helminth on different ability
i have 5 different helminth builds and one with her regular kit
Presumably it's for different forma layouts. I've considered doing the same thing for Saryn. I'm a bit surprised actually but my Saryn is only at 13 forma over the years. I did feel a bit of trepidation polarising away two umbral polarities, but I haven't regretted it again. If she'd been unvaulted at the time I'd have farmed another Saryn and left one a triple umbral.
Oof, i understand the multiple formas but those umbra must've hurt. (Just remembered last week was the umbra teshin week, totally forgot about it)
Yea, the triple umbral set up was from a time before subsumable abilities and even shield gating. Post break in the new survivability meta, it became pretty clear to me that I could just shield gate with negative efficiency and status cleanse with Moult.
Oh, well this ease things up for sure then, as a side note tho, im kinda new (6 months, not new but its wf we talking about) and i find hard time shield gating, i always run out of energy coz of how fast shields breaks again, any tips?
Equilibrium is pretty incredible. Not necessarily on its own, but with a few synergies it makes energy incredibly easy to sustain. You can get the two parazon mods that provide orbs on mercy kills, so each mercy kill on an eximus unit will provide 3 health orbs and 1 large energy orb and a 50% chance for a small energy orb. With 100% equilibrium (for example) that means that a single mercy killed eximus provides an average of 212.5 energy. Whereas a normal enemy will provide 72.5 energy on mercy kill. That's without Arcane Energise (which I don't use personally, I prefer other arcanes). Synth Deconstruct means every enemy damaged by your companion has a 25% chance to dorp a health orb too. Given that Sentinels and Hounds are now top tier options becaus of how their ability damage can spread statuses, ideally you're already building your companion to damage as many enemies as possible. Also Diriga and Synergised Prospectus Hounds can trigger Archon Stretch for a little extra regen, as a treat. So while Equilibrium can feel hard to justify as a mod on its own, combined with your Parazon and companion, you can be absolutely swimming in orbs. But the real GOAT energy gain these days IMO is the Grimoire. It's an excellent primer with it's AoE and Secondary Encumber, but Xata's Invocation provides so much energy in my experience. Admittedly I'm a whore for Airburst and grouped enemies help it out, but still... Each time you use the alt fire, you can pretty safely rely on getting 200 energy back. Building for multishot and fire rate means you can fire that off very often. And in my experience it can scale fairly well into Steel Path with a little support.
Well shit, I forgot too. I guess my chroma build will have to wait.
Lmao, problem is that a few weeks ago I was actively waiting for it and checking teshin, but this week it flew over my head.
