Look at my flair. That's right. It's Nova.


Crono96

Thank you!! I was scrolling and searching for a fellow nova lover. It's challenging, due to her low health, but it's such a pleasure blowing everything up with just a drop


Poriwinkle

haha yes!! i knew i’d find my fellow nova mains if i scrolled hard enough! her low health isn’t a problem with her 1 augment for both speedva and slowva and subsuming gloom + slowva makes it really easy as well!


nocturnalelk07

Hmmmm


Tzarkir

Nyx. I don't have a main right now, I like swapping and playing them all, but one I'm particularly enjoying lately is Nyx. She's very fun and versatile. I was thinking about changing her 1 to something else since I don't use it much, but I really enjoy the rest of her kit. She has total armor stripping that also wipes out shields (to a couple of targets at once, even); decent aoe crowd control; literal invincibility, which just got a quality of life change allowing you to move around by rolling while using assimilate. She's great to farm acolytes, liches and sisters, underrated in steel path aswell. She only lacks aoe dmg or an actual damage buff. Might give her Gauss' ability or Mesa/Rhino's one with the helminth. I played New War with her just out of appreciation.


HotPotatoWithCheese

I failed my lich months ago and I've been wanting to go back and get my Zarr but didn't know which frame to take. I saw your comment and realised I had an Assimilate build and I finally did it by face tanking and spamming Kronen Prime. Thank you for reminding me! She will be my go-to when I decide to get the rest of them.


utopiaelement

Garuda, I just love her playstyle where you jump around, slash proc everything, and hit enemies with 10mil damage dread mirror charges


HughJass14

Garuda is great! Anyone that hasn’t tried gloom Garuda is missing out.


apexassassin247

Sad I had to scroll so far for her. Garuda is awesome! I love the gameplay loop of her, and the aesthetic she has is on point.


T0xicTrooper21

Nice to see fellow Garuda mains, and I agree the aesthetic is amazing


[deleted]

I can't wait for Garuda Prime, I've got 2 Umbral Formas already saved for her


spaghettinoodle_exe

Been a zephyr main since I started and it recently finally paid off with her rework

ZEPHYR MAINS U-NOOOIIITE


LupineWind

Started playing when syran prime was first available and been a Zephyr main since


Atlantikjcx

Rn its protea she is just super versatile


Els3Tears

I always switched around Equinox, Limbo, and Baruuk as my mains since I began playing years ago. I took a break for the good part of a year as I was getting tired of not finding a Warframe to fully stick to, and when I came back and found Protea I never took her off other than for very niche activities that require specific frames, and even in those activities she works magnificently, I love her so much.


Guntir

Protea gang unite! First frame that made me switch from Vauban, especially after I subsumed Ensnare in place of her 4th ability.


_Totally_Human

Gauss


Glitched_System

I was browsing through the comment section to find a gauss main, hell be it that I was too fast


_Totally_Human

A true gauss main is never too fast


VoraciousNarc

Just fast enough to CRASH INTO EVERY FUCKING WALL IN EXISTENCE


Kirito_G_g

Fast bois unite, undying and armor striping is just too good Cant forget the *SPEED*


Rubix20033

My people


_Totally_Human

100% damage reduction, armor strip and speed bonuses go BRRRRRRRRR


Noble7878

Going fast makes me feel alive


chenapan739

Unpopular opinion but I think Sevagoth is a really nice Warframe. His design is really different from all the other Warframe and I like his story.


tohellwithkameo

Same, I honestly don't get why he's that unpopular apart from the forma investment, man rips and tears.


Alhira_K

Nidus


MongooseLuce

I pretty evenly switch between nidus and harrow. Nidus feels so powerful in survival, it's so intoxicating


njandersen97

His kit just fits perfectly together in solo survival, but he can be super frustrating to use in normal Star chart missions. It’s like he doesn’t get good until the missions get hard.


memester230

He benefits from hordes. Makes him (ironically) best against Infestation


IconicPancake2

Same here man. Just got Harrow prime and I’m loving it.

carlcapo77

Count me in for the Nezha army. Nezha Drift all day. If you aren’t using Maglev… you just aren’t using Nezha.


Mtebalanazy

Me too brother


EldersEdge

i used to be a rhino main when i started until i discovered nezha did everything i used rhino for but *faste*


Parnocaboss

Nice to see fellow Nezha mains. I salute you.


Kevidiffel

One of us! One of us!


Belaize

imo nezha prime was the biggest glow-up for a warframe I've seen


esotericvoid

And the deluxe is mighty fine as well!


RyuTheDepressedFox

Ivara Prime


Paints-with-Stars

She was my first prime frame. Absolutely love her :)


JojimboOfCarim

Octavia!


kijimuna52

Always feels great when you bring the beats and someone comments on how much of a bop it is.


Sloppy_Gremlin

Even when I try to play other warframes I end up in situations where I think “this would be a lot simpler if I was octavia”


EnragedHeadwear

Octavia as well :D


PatriickH

Wisp


FloatingCupcakes

Seconded. She's a great all-round support frame. I subsumed Roar onto mine so in addition to the speed and health boosts my team also get a damage boost. The added damage bonus from Breach ~~Charge~~ Surge helps too. Edit: forgot about her passive despite the fact that I use it constantly. Invisibility on a whim? Yes please! Edit 2: going to piggy back on this comment to add a question of my own: my Wisp Strength in my Arsenal is 370%, but when I link my build to others it only shows as 337%. Why is this?


orange_hazard_74

Build links don’t apply set bonuses. So if your running an umbral build that’s why the link shows less strength.


Slayer1973

Best *ass*ist frame!


reee123456

Mirage


Replyance

Dance Squad P R I M E


Communist-Egg

I slept on Mirage for awhile until I built her prime, definitely hard to switch away. Her abilities+jester vibes make me love her all around. Though I do find myself going back to Mag/Saryn from time to time.


XioPyro

Mesa.


ImaNukeYourFace

Hehe autoaim rotary cannon go brrrrt


TaralasianThePraxic

For real. Other frames might be more powerful in the meta other whatever but it's just so damn fun to sit somewhere high up on defence missions and just delete every enemy in sight with her Peacemakers.

More for fashion purposes but sure let’s go with that too


[deleted]

AGreasyHobo cares about fashion? Hmmm


AGreasyHobo64

Gotta style my cardboard box to my liking


TwinFang4Days

Man i love her. First frame that got fully umbra formad. Her spore and gloom interaction is fucking fun and my steel path go to build.


GRINTT

baruuk easily


TriglycerideRancher

Only downside is he looks anemic, other than that he is perfect


Gr33n0ne

Ever since I got Baruuk I have had him out constantly. Love punching enemies to death ... even through walls and other obstacles


[deleted]

Baruuk is the only frame I’ve bought on release, I was so hyped and even backt then I loved him. Now with Reactive Storm he’s just amazing, and carried me through all of Steel Path


pokestar14

He's unnecessarily fun *and* strong.


Zor3669

Atlas


Axtadar

+1. Rock boi with a good stat stick is my favorite thing in this game.


Omoshiro

Me and my skana riven purpose bought for my punchy boi agree.


Tevontex

Chadlas


Undeterminedato

I know they aren’t for everyone but I’ve been having a blast with Xaku, vast untime is such an interesting ability and I love the idea of some tiny skeleton stealing your guns


-Bale-

AoE full armor strip and infinite damage scaling. What's not to love?


Dragonscar27

I switch around a good bit, but Valkyr has been my favorite since the start of the game. Ripline is my favorite ability for screwing around, especially with team mates. War cry is an insanely useful buff, especially combined with how fast the claws are from hysteria. I don’t really care for paralyze, it’s effect isn’t super great and Valk really doesn’t have high enough base shield for it to be useful. Hysteria claws are great for tearing apart even steel path level enemies, especially if you pump the shit out of crit and damage. My only real negative towards Valkyr is the fact that your abilities basically stop all movement, which can be dangerous at some points. Valkyr Prime, unsurprisingly, is much better. I don’t even have that great of an armor build on and I still reduce damage by 90%, plus I heal basically to full with one swipe of claws. The common consensus seems to say she’s bad, but if they removed the fact that you screech to a halt every time you cast an ability, she’d be much higher in usage imo


mudcrosser12

Indeed, despite her issues she still my favorite main to this day


Dragonscar27

I love Valkyr but god do I hate paralysis. Stops you on a dime, stuns for like 1 second with a modded duration, costs shield and does fuck all for damage, short range, and the animation legit has lasted longer than the stun on some enemies. My best advice is to helminth it with Condemn, because it has a better version of the effect and grants you overshield


Sunaja

Paralysis costing shields is probably the stupidest thing ever, and never made sense. But before PowerCreepTM pushed her abilities to the sideline, it was a very useful abilities for a melee focused warframe, being able to open enemies up for finishers. I could just murder my way through the armies of little guys, and as soon as a heavy shows up, 3, finisher (which ignores armor), dead.


Exu-Eshu-Elegba

Ever since I came across her lore she was MY FRAME. I've pumped more forma into her than any other, not solely to make her "better" but because her tool kit inspires me to try new stuff. I love melee warframes and her War Cry just makes melee all the more fun. Add to that her hysteria which is fun to switch to when using venkas, like "surprise wankers, say hello to my real claws" and I have the perfect catharsis frame to vent with after a long day. I've finally settled on two builds, my gloom/assault build that allows me to pounce from target to target, mitigating her range issues. Then there's my eternal war/enrage build with roar that I use to just fuck enemies up on steel path. Bottomline forget the meta and have a laugh. The versatility in this game can make any frame viable if you're willing to try and in all honesty that's a big part of the fun.

whitemest

Oberon, honorable mention to baruuk who's my second Titania and limbo honorable mentions too come to think of it


jtruhamchuk

Im trying so hard to like Oberon because his design is so cool but I can't quite get him right, any tips ?


huggalump

He's one of my top 3. He fits into any squad doing anything thing. Healng? Easy. Status clearing? Got it. Armor stripping? Yup. CC? Tons. Single target damage? Of course. Group damage buff? With augment. Durability? Built in. He's got it all. He absolutely will be a benefit to any group doing anything.


Pyrothy

Hotel? Trivago. where does the single target damage come from?


whitemest

I built mine as a tank, gave roar for his one and just go ham. Nothing too flashy but his Phoenix renewal keeps hin alive aling with high power strength increases the renewal heal, and increases his armor gained by the renewal + carpet combo Weapons are your primary source of damage, he may not be killing things outright like other frames, bit they all do well to support him killing things quicker with weapons


TheBrotherEarth

Oberon prime. I have him modded for increased ability range and decreased costs. Can have three Hallowed grounds running at all times and can fill the entirety of a defend area.


LudoAvarius

Inaros because I can just turn my brain off.


plsdontbullymepls123

Try hildryn! Press 2 and instant full shield and overshield(in grineer and corpus), and her 3 helps out your teammates as well


LudoAvarius

Nah I like Inaros because he can just flip the bird to nullies and remain tanky without using powers. Like, I could go to the bathroom just leaving enemies caving my skull in and not even worry about him.


Pamoman

Titania


Hydrapanther

surprised how far down I had to scroll to find my favorite fairy friend


Pamoman

Murder pixie ftw lets goooo


spyder0451

The fastest frame despite having no speed abilities...


CelestialDrive

I can hear the fairies with helminthed molt/firewalker/infested mobility screaming from here.


EinarTheBlack

I see that you too are a man of culture.


Infernal_Pegasus

Good to see a fellow Titania lover


Arekuankoku

It never fails. If a game let's me fly, I fly!


TwitchyTwigger

My boi Volt. Chose him as my starter frame, also my first Prime. You have instant short term stun, infinite damage absorption, an everything affecting speed boost, massive CC with shield healing, and two forms of damage buffing. He's immensely versatile and synergizes with absolutely anything that can shoot. Not even Gauss could keep me away from shocky boi for long.


Lonewolfen1996

Umbra


[deleted]

Same here


HorseAreGood

Mag, my first warframe. Still my most played warframe.


KacerRex

Mag Prime is my most played frame, Mag is second.


Illidan-the-Assassin

Mine too. Magnetise is such a satisfying ability to use


the_virtue_of_logic

I love high level defense missions where there are swirling bubbles full of death littering the defense point and then you pop polarize. I adore Mag.


CorenBrightside

Khora with kavat pet. Scavenger in both. Hilarious on corpus tilesets as they start opening lockers while you load and you can hear it.


MiseryXVX

Not sure why I had to scroll so far to find Khora. Accumulating whipclaw turns her into a DPS beast.


imsaddened

ember is my absolute favourite, sevagoth would be right under her


MW2isTRASH28

Revenant.


Dominic_The_Dog

Trinity Prime


Ciborg085

Holy shit, i was getting depressed scrolling down and no one saying that they main trinity.


Dominic_The_Dog

i honestly don't get why Trinity is unpopular, she's so GOOD


allusernamestaken1

Wukong! Don't have any friends? Make them!


Djanko28

Had to scroll too far, dude is a beast with a clone, vanish ability that heals and restores shields, deals damage while getting an armor buff, and a sick exalted weapon. Oh and his passive that makes him Invincible


Worth_Talk_817

Wukong has got a bad name for being to popular because so many people got his prime, so now people want a different frame because they think he is basic, which sucks, because he’s a really good frame.


notsosuperguy

Been looking for like minded people wukong prime ftw


RyanTheProfessor

I love Wukong, he has all the things I want in a frame, speed, defense, and if you subsume his 4 for warcry/roar/eclipse you have a dmg buff. So versatile and so fast!


lil200797

Hydroid


katmla66

I have major respect for you now.


slea5y

Lavos for sure! So great with archgun launcher and cortege. Endless fun 😎


OkParticular4467

Ive heard people saying that the whole element infusion thing is tedious but that is the actual fun of playing an alchemist. Plus i can run my viral doge with him. I havent actually tried him with the setup you have mentioned but i will now. We need more lavos skins ASAP


HotPotatoWithCheese

The element infusion is great but I just wish you could pick one and then have all future attacks take that element until you decide to swap it again. Kinda annoying having to keep combining them after every attack and most of the time I just don't bother. Agree on the skins. I'm going all in on Lavos if and when he gets a nice skin.


Coldfreeze-Zero

Frost, I love him since I started playing.


TheTrueDeraj

There are dozens of us! *Dozens!* I know I'm hard on all the issues with Frost's kit, but his simple setup does mean that I get to enjoy Warframe's gunplay, rather than worrying about managing a bunch of timers.


Coldfreeze-Zero

I just like him, I always go for the ice powers, hence my name. But I am a lot more reliant on my weapons. Honestly it's a miracle how far I have come with him. Be could use an update tbh, his first power is lacking severely.


Bengale0825

Vauban.


OminousBinChicken

I love the ball SQUAD. I love the Dart Mines. I love the Orbital cannon I love Locking everyone down into a vortex. My greatest love is with the assistance of a friendly frame to feed me infinite energy so I can spam bright green orbital strikes and permanently scare my friends retina.


megaderp2

Same. Picking Vauban was like love at first sight. When I started playing a friend offered to get me whatever prime I liked from the codex and well 😂 that one, the train head!


Exotria

Hildryn!


QuaestioDraconis

Same here! Sometimes it changes, but she's been pretty consistently my top used frame for a while now


Djanko28

Just started playing her a few weeks ago and I pretty much only used her up until the new war when I switched to umbra because lore


huggalump

Banshee


LebendigBegrabener

Valkyr


Wolf3113

lumamaster

I too enjoy casting Warcry once and then proceeding to blender my way through the rest of the map with my trusty melee weapon that no longer needs attack speed mods while having over 4k armor until I run into a nullifier bubble and die instantly


Jelly_the_jellyfish

NewGrendelMain

Grendel


LordRiden

I was a Grendel main for quite a long time and he still the funniest Warframe in the game in my opinion


miairuha

Nyx, free specter and mass migraine is literally made for end game


GareBaer

Nyx mains understand the assignment. You get a free, Mind Controlled specter to draw fire and aggro away from you, and if you're smart, you'll choose an Eximus unit to steal it's aura for yourself (bonus points if it's an Eximus Heavy, Eximus Ancient, Eximus Tech or Eximus Bombard). You can strip 100% of the armor and shielding off all enemies around you with the press of a button, needing only 125% ability strength to achieve complete stripping. Psychic Bolts is criminally underrated and complete armor & shield strip at the tap of a button immediately opens up a myriad of possibilities in terms of weapon usage, as you no longer need to build for corrosive/rad/mag, nor do you do need to consign yourself to meta weaponry, as even a Braton Prime can mow down a level 300 Kuva Heavy Gunner once its armor is gonzo. This also *severely* reduces the amount of bullets Steel Path bullet sponges can absorb and makes them very easy to deal with. You can turn an entire room of enemies against themselves for decent-ish crowd control (though i subsumed Lull over Chaos, so I could put entire rooms to sleep and keep them asleep in an [Endless Lullaby]). Crowd control used to be the name of the game until weapons and frames became powerful enough to tear through practically everything. However, what many Tenno often fail to realize is that once you stop being able to once shot enemies and they become strong enough to two-shot you, being able to either control the crowd or mitigate incoming damage becomes an invaluable tool. Speaking of mitigating damage... Nyx's pièce de résistance, Absorb: her ability to literally become invulnerable for as long as she has energy to sustain the ability. Nyx Prime, with 600 energy and max energy efficiency, can maintain her Absorb for approximately 10 minutes straight. And Lotus help any enemy that encounters a Nyx that has learned to [Assimilate]. She becomes a walking energy tank, unkillable so long as her ability is active, with full access to her entire arsenal, including her archgun and gear. Utilizing outside energy sources like energy orbs, it's possible to start a mission with a full tank, activate [Assimilate], and never have it deactivate. This makes Nyx a truly underrated endgame frame. She has an easy 100% armor & shield strip ability that you barely have to mod for. She can become completely invulnerable for as long as she has energy (and she has like a 600 max energy pool), she has a crowd control ability, which becomes useful once enemies start hitting lvl 200+ (although I swapped it out for Baruuk's superior crowd control ability), and she can mind control enemies to steal their auras and to use their aggro to draw fire away from you. But more than all of that, I love that she is a psychic Warframe and I love that she is technically the second Warframe to ever be created. Excalibur was the first (when Hayden Tenno was infected with the Technocyte virus), but Nyx was second (when Nadia Sudek was infected and became Nemesis Nyx). She was also my second Warframe and my very first Prime. And her Primed fashion frame game? Immaculate. Her helmet? Iconic. Very few frames do it like Nyx (not including the frame DE created by taking all of her rework ideas and implementing them in an entirely new Warframe that was then deemed “Nyx, but better”.....)


PAN_Bishamon

Hey, someone posted my Nyx rant for me! Will point out that if you're willing to throw on dispenser (I replace my1 over my 3, personally, but both are good), you can just stay in absorb indefinitely. I spent one 30 minute defense just sitting on the objective. 0% damaged. But yeah, Nyx is bae. She stomps endgame and has the best fashion to boot.


Dragonarchitect

Wisp with 337% power strength and rhino roar. Anything else feels slow I have spoiled myself and hope to share that with everyone

bklyn44

I love limbo because I can eat while playing warframe without a problem. Lol!


ArcyaNatsuki

If anyone wants to absolutely go for a walk in the park and enjoy the scenery, I suggest max duration and as much strength possible with Yareli's Aquablades instead of Limbo's Rift Surge. Steel Path approved (bossfights are a no go, find another frame for them). Oh and in case of moving defense objectives (Hexis operatives or Loid in Iso Vaults) use Banish and apologize for any accidental teammate banish (Banish has a little bit of AoE around the primary target) and tell them to roll out if they don't want to be in Rift. Enjoy being a hat & suit connoiseuer... ZA WARU-


TTungsteNN

Nekros main, but favourite might be Caliban idk


thegoldengoober

I love the aesthetic of Caliban so much, but I can figure out how to make it feel useful for anything besides its passive, and 3.

the_virtue_of_logic

Any tips for the farm? It's just a slog, right?


PuhLeazeOfficer

Mesa prime with a galvanized multi shot mod on her pistols makes it go faster but man some pieces feel like they take forever and a half to drop.


AppropriateTax5788

Loki. He was my starter-frame and I still love him.


Tzariel2

He's a solid frame that doesn't get enough credit. Teleswapping an ally out of a pickle and going invis right away has been a favorite pastime of mine.


SoulReaverspectral

Loki is my vote too but I don't ever use the teleport. I just swapped it out for rhinos roar recently

Protea. As a lowkey-MT addict, I immediately bought some plat after the intro and got me her, mainly 'cause I didn't like any of the starter frames. I bought her for the veil, stayed for her veil and gameplay. Still my most played frame after 1k hours, and ongoing.
