Here are the Warframe frames we think are the strongest, from Nezha to Saryn.
Warframe is a power fantasy shooter in every sense of the word. Players control powerful Warframes that can wipe out entire forces of genetically modified humans, machines, and living things that have been infected. You’ll be constantly grinding to get new weapons, frames, and cosmetics as you make your way through the game’s different worlds.
Each Warframe has four special skills and traits, and some even have long, interesting stories. It can be hard to tell which ones are the best because there are so many to pick from. There is a Warframe in this game that can do almost any task, but today we’re going to look at ten that stand out from the rest.
Nezha
Nezha’s main skills are speed and being able to stay alive. Nezha is a faster version of Rhino that scales very well. It is available as soon as you join a clan. When the Nezha use their special chakram, it can be used as a shield with Warding Halo, to remove buffs with Blazing Chakram, or even to teleport by casting Blazing Chakram again. Then, through Fire Walker, you can speed up your movement even more to completely avoid bullets coming at you. Even though Nezha’s ultimate isn’t very good, Helminth can be changed into a damage boost, a tool for staying alive, or almost anything else you want. Nezha is the best Warframe for beginners, and it also works well for tasks in the endgame.
Gara
Like Nova, Gara can do a lot of different things well and is great at almost all Warframe material. This Warframe has a glass theme and can use glass to protect her friends and cut her enemies. The second power Gara has is called Splinter Storm. It gives her and her allies DR while damaging enemies. Every second, enemies near Splinter Storm will also take damage. You can increase this damage by using your fourth ability, Mass Vitrify, and setting it off.
Gara should always be using Mass Vitrify to make glass rings that stop enemy fire and then detonating them with her first ability, which gives Splinter Storm more power. Gara does good damage over a wide area, can protect defense targets, easily reduces 90% of enemy damage, and when you stack her Splinter Storm, she can kill enemies right away. It’s hard to say that she’s not at least S-tier for general Warframe content, and it’s not hard to get her either, since her parts drop from Plains of Eidolon rewards.
Octavia
Octavia is the most like a bard class in Warframe. Music gives Octavia a lot of power, which she can use to buff her friends and block enemy attacks with her Mallets. The longer these Mallets are hit, the more damage they take. This means that Octavia can kill Steel Path enemies at very high levels with just her first ability.
In terms of buffs, Octavia can make her friends invisible, give them more multishots, speed up their movement, and do more damage in general. Being invisible is what really makes this work, as it helps her team stay alive and be stealthy. One could even say that Octavia is one of the best sneaky characters in Warframe. Ash’s invisibility lasts less time than other Warfarmes’, Loki’s kit isn’t very good, and Ivara can’t do parkour while she’s invisible. Even though Octavia is a bit dull to play at first, she is one of the best Warframes you can use once you get used to how she plays.
Wisp
Wisp’s main skill is Motes, which she learned first. When allies pluck these motes, they will get more health, speed up their fire, movement, and reloading, and close enemies will be stunned. There is only one skill that gives all three of these buffs. Wisp’s third ability is also very powerful. It makes targets that are hit send out wisps of energy that do a lot of damage. She can move around a lot, have buffs and debuffs, and use the Helminth system very well. You won’t find better Warframe help anywhere else.
Xaku
Xaku is a combination of several Warframes that work together to make an amazing amount of power. Xaku’s kit lets you use the Void and your enemies to make Xaku’s skills stronger. Grasp of Lohk is Xaku’s most powerful ability; it lets him steal enemy fireteams and turn them into floating weapons. When Xaku has enough range and power, it turns into a walking gun turret that melts everything in its way.
With Xaku’s third power, “The Lost,” enemies are even less strong. Someone who is an enemy of Xaku can have their shields taken away or become an ally. With Xaku’s ultimate, you can even make these affects last longer. If you give Xaku a defensive ability, they’ll be a huge threat in Steel Path material.
Protea
When people talk about strong Warframes, they can’t help but bring up Protea, a time-bending genius who loves gadgets. Most people agree that her fourth power, Temporal Anchor, isn’t the best. But that’s okay, Hellinth is real.
By replacing Nidus’s fourth ability with this deadly CC power, you can turn Protea into a very powerful Warframe. Put down a Larva near a group of enemies, and then call up three Blaze Artillery guns. After a short time of continuous fire, the turrets will be able to kill Steel Path enemies with just one shot because their damage will become stronger so fast. If that sounds dull, Protea can also make as many energy orbs and Archgun bullets as she wants for herself and close allies. It’s always fun to use an Archgun as your main weapon.
Saryn
As Saryn, it’s very easy to be at the top of the damage charts. This Warframe with a poison theme hits her targets with corrosive germs that spread when they pop and do more damage the longer they stay there. These spores can do hundreds of thousands of damage per second if you’re a good Saryn player. This will kill almost all enemies that aren’t resistant to Warframe powers. If that isn’t enough, you can use your Miasma ultimate to completely destroy all of your enemies in a huge area.
Not only is that great, but Saryn is also a great place to hold guns. With Toxic Lash, Saryn can make all of her weapons do more damage with Toxin, which is the same as a second hit. Saryn’s weapons can kill almost everything in the game with just one hit thanks to Helminth powers and some mods. Together with the unbelievable damage her spores do, Saryn’s poisonous wrath makes it so that not many enemies can live.
Revenant
Revenant is the only thing you need to make yourself almost impossible to kill while draining your enemies’ life force. The Mesmer Skin on this Warframe makes you immune to a certain number of hits, which is one of the best defenses in the whole Flappy Bird game. With each stack, you’re also immune for one second. This means that a good Revenant build can become immune for 20 seconds or longer with just one ability cast. To give you an idea, Harrow’s ultimate would need more than 300% Ability Duration to do the same thing.
It’s not just that Revenant can’t be hurt. Enthrall can also connect enemies with each other. That’s not very useful on its own, but Reave does four times as much damage to Enthralled targets, so if you have enough Ability Strength, you can kill them in one hit. This works no matter how strong the target’s defenses are, so Revenant can do an endless amount of damage. This is one of the best ways for Warframes to scale, let alone do it so quickly.
Khora
Khora is a great Warframe for getting things and doing a lot of damage. For one of the few Warframes, her Pilfering Strangledome augment can directly increase the amount of loot that drops when foes die. This makes enemies that are CCed by her ultimate drop more loot when they die. Khora is now an S-tier choice for any Warframe loot farms because of this, but that’s not all there is to know about her.
With the right build, Khora’s Whipclaw is one of her strongest skills. It lets her whip enemies for millions of damage. After that, you can use your Whipclaw to hurt every enemy that is caught in your Strangledome. This lets you kill a lot of enemies with one move.As a team, you can show off Khora with a Nekros and boosts.
Mesa
In all honesty, Mesa may not be the best at any one thing, but she is always a good choice for any task. Mesa’s Peacekeeper guns can wipe out whole armies; they automatically shoot targets in your larger aiming circle. With each shot, the scope gets smaller, and your damage increases to make sure nothing stays alive.
If for some reason Mesa can’t kill something with her gun, her Shooting Gallery and Shatter Shield skills will more than protect her against most enemies. If you look at Helminth, her powers get even better, and you can switch out her average first ability for Rhino’s Roar, Hildryn’s Pillage, or any other useful ability. Mesa is always a good choice, no matter what you’re doing.
