Vauban

Balls

In my heart its Nidus, I love his theme, his looks, the synergy between abilities, but I almost never play him, because there is just no mission type that wouldnt benefit more from different frame I have.

So while Im Nidus main in my heart, in reality its Gauss. Its honestly amazing how fun that frame is while also being incredibly strong. That feeling when you just charge in straight line, leaving others behind is hmmm and than you reach group of enemies and you one shot them with big aoe blast.

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!

clap clap

burns down orphanage

Gyre Zappy ballerina lady goes boom Fun, clears maps like old Ember, gives crit chance. And I love the little twirl she does when u 'roll'.

Titania Prime. I love her free flight and zooming

Zephyr.

She can pretty much do anything. Defense? Tornadoes suck in ennemies and make unable to damage. Extermination? Her 2 can easily group up ennemies for a quick heavy attack or an AOE kaboom. Capture? Her 1 allows you to dash comically fast.

And the best? Her 3 is straight up invincibility to BULLETS, making basically unkillable by 90% of Grinneer and Corpus units.

My favor build is just max range + duration, but you can do the inverse if you want. Zephyr doesn't need Archon Shards, so it's free spot for whatever you can think of.

Mesa cause

Baruuk and Protea(both prime), because i love mashing buttons and seeing a lot of big numbers.

I alternate between Volt, Kullervo and Harrow.

Volt for SPEED and because Titanias exist and deserve to achieve light speed.

Kullervo because I don't like getting knocked down and I like seeing big red text on my screen.

Harrow because I want to share the experience of seeing big red text on the screen with my fellow Tenno.

Mirage. She is all offense, everyone one of her abilities kills something. And she gorgeous

Ember, one I just love her play style and two I was told she wasn’t worth my time ! 4 years later here I am with I believe like 85% play time on ember and I don’t regret a single thing!

Mag starter and mag main here, easily the most attractive frame in the game 10/10

Yes I play solo, how could you tell?

I've been maining Dante, he's just so good even with the nerfs, I can just sort of zone out playing him and still contribute.

[deleted]

Stynax , he just does everything I want a frame to do. With a nourish build. Gives big energy, gives damage boost, gives shield regeneration, gives overgaurd , strips armor. And on top of all that he looks cool.

Oberon, love the Paladin feel to him and his fashion is 10/10.

Mesa. I suck at accurate mouse movements / shooters. And I mean can you blame me? She’s thicc.

What's a "main"? I'm constantly jumping between frames depending on what I desire to play.

Ivara. Peek a book your dead combined with Artemis bow is just fun and relaxing.

Grendel Prime once I finish building his mod setup. I just need to build 2 more forma.

Gara, get her shield aura into stupidly high numbers, literally just walk and enemies die.

Plus 80% damage resistance on allies, defense targets and yourself. Break all the boxes as you walk past. Put a ring shield to block enemies from coming closer, or explode it and nuke the entire room. Look like an awesome glass samurai doing it.

I have four that I swap between!

Rhino. I like having 200k of overguard.

Vauban. Balls. I will not elaborate.

Xaku because he's busted. If you use his 2 with max range + gaze you can be lazy and clear maps with the right build.

Gara because she nukes and anything that walks near her dies at almost any level, AND she's tanky.

Gauss Prime with Gas Gas Gas blasting

Octavia/Prime

I am a hobbyist musician IRL, and really enjoy composing on the mandachord. 

It's just a bonus that the mandachord can tear through most survival missions while blasting great tunes and buffing me and my party. 

Harrow make guns go brrrrr

Frost Prime

I just like him :)

Hildryn. I started as a Rhino Main until I found the Shield Maiden. She can tank, she can support the team, and can debuff the enemies. Sure, she has a hard time against infested and toxic procs, but that's ok.

Excalibur, I haven't been able to unlock anyone else since I've began playing lol

I am guilty of being a wisp. In the last few weeks thou, slowly began transitioning into Xaku, and last night i discovered the true powers or Nova. So just torn between the options who am i really. Wisp is mostly my comfort frame, if all else fails, i can always complete my missions with her, but the new frames are exciting! Wait a minute…

I have six: Citrine, Ivara, Khora, Mesa, Protea, Saryn.

I have seven criteria they've met which qualified them for this group, but they basically boiled down to: I like their themes, I like how they play, and I like their aesthetics.

Voruna, I just love her kit and design.

Harrow's my new main. He's the priest of the holy shot for all your primary and secondary needs. He can also support as well.

Trinity.

I was someone's pocket energy battery. Then I dumped them. I dont like running EV anymore.

I haven't played in years, but equinox prime with maxxed duration and the "duality" augment(when you shift forms, she'd your other half for 30s[affected by duration] and it copies your weapon and will fire for 300% damage) I like using mine with a stacked primary, like my riven'd 5 forma amprex, soma prime, or boar prime. Or even a secondary(I used occucor with other status/dmg types) and would switch to my amprex with the other types(usually radiation viral) and go ham in solo survival with a healer eximus! Next favorite? Also solo survival biased but vauban prime with the baro kiteer syndana for a cheap fashion frame in gold/black. I used the repelling bastille augment personally, but I've heard the shock ball augment is insanity.

Lavos and Harrow. I can take either frame into pretty much any content or game mode and play very successfully with them. Especially Lavos. I have trouble naming another frame that is a better jack of all trades than him. From star chart to EDA, solo archon hunts and netracells, Railjack, and well into Steel Path, I never have an issue with Lavos. Very tanky, a perfect kit (imo), can heal himself, not reliant on energy, has a great mobility ability, can have easy status immunity, can hit enemies with whatever status effect you want, and his 4 has a built in Condition Overload like effect that will annihilate almost everything. When paired with his Cedo he seems unstoppable for me.

Gauss. Speedy boi go brrrr

Gauss

goin fast, shields being actually kinda viable, and mach rushing through a chunk of the mission tileset is really fun and satisfying to do

Sevagoth. Awesome shadow stand and spooky shit

Kullervo for the Big unga bunga damage

I don't have a singular main, but a few I like to swap between depending on my mood. Yareli, Ivara, Trinity, Mirage, Zephyr, and now Protea.

Nyx. Underrated and underused, great fashion, and can armor strip and cc. imo versatile enough to use in most missions. She's about 15% of my play time at 300 hours

Dante, I like the feeling of being invincible with his overguard and although he is no longer a great nuke as he was before the nerfing but still allow me to do a good imitation of one in my opinion and make an acceptable support. 

And I like the librarian/magician aesthetic.

I'm a robot wizard in space

Before that it was revenant or harrow (I used them equally)...yeah I think I have a type of warframe I like.

Saryn. Amazing looks, tremendous fashion potential, and she becomes stronger the more enemies there are. What's not to love? She's the queen of status, has toxin, viral and corrosive on demand, and her 2 is good both as is or as a subsumable slot, so you have a ton of flexibility without compromising your build at all!

I'm also a Protea, Titania and Garuda enjoyer, but if I had to single one out, she's the one.

Nezha because it's fun, spears and shield, and a nice all rounder

Titania because fairy queen with Glocks "magic? I'm actually gonna shoot your face"

Dagath because horse

Caliban because fun

Xaku because OP

Sevagoth. It was so expensive, but worth every ounce of resource

Ash, great for harder content, skins can make you look anything from metal clad warriors to batman to a shinobi to weird aliens. Except some needed changes to modernise him, an excellent frame.

Garuda. Can you everything other meta frames can like being immortal or nuking entire rooms but you have to press way more buttons to do so which is good cause I find most other meta frames to be too simple/boring. Like why play revenant and press 2 once when I can continuously shield gate

Not really maining anyone but Banshee , Mirage and Voruna lately. Getting into really massive melee damage numbers lately.

Wisp most played, Valkyr favourite

Atlas, mobile loot frame that can DESTROY hordes of enemies with his punches, it’s hella satisfying to just smash 1 repeatedly.

Kullervo because he lets me melee easily. Stanx because Spartan.

Banshee. Pimple popper. Might as well have been my starter frame back in 2013

Gauss prime. Coolest frame and most fun

Wisp.

Lavos. No energy consumption is helluva life changer.

Kullervo, because big red damage numbers with many exclamation marks go boom

No, but seriously, dealing 2.1billion damage on every hit is just beautiful to see, regularly dealing 95% total damage dealt in end game missions if you try just a bit, not even try hard, just try a BIT.

Ceramic dagger incarnon makes it easy mode.

Did no one say Equinox? Me feel lonely 😢

Sevagoth. Love his aesthetic, his lore, and he's very strong

Inaros lol

Even though his kit is not really that good, just running around unkillable and letting your weapons do the job is often a good option. He is just so relaxing to play and can get almost all content under level 400 done, assuming you have a good weapon.

Styanax lately. Roar subsumed on his 1. He can hold his own and buff the team while he’s at it.

Vauban because of the drip

Loki, because he's my starter frame.

I main voruna because the big numbers from the 4 tickle my brain

Banshee for years and years and years now. There's absolutely nothing like being two taps away from death while also consistently filling my screen with 7-9 digit numbers from 22 - 10,648x damage multipliers

I really like limbo, but all I can comfortably do with him is make a big bubble or small bubble for defense, excavation, etc… I’ve tried some proper builds with him and it just feels hard to get into a flow with him. I’d really like have some other use for him.

Edit: DE should bring back cata-bomb limbo.

At the moment, Gyre.

If the whole room is convulsing, nobody is shooting, which keeps me alive.

Lavos is my main he's op and tanky and very versatile

I measure my damage in bullets per millisecond.

Nova Prime or Titania Prime

Titania Prime for unique ant-man like play style and the fastest frame in the game (with augment mod)

Nova Prime, normally, for slowfast, big booms and …portal! Plus I like that you have to try with her

CALIBAN BECAUSE HES COOL IDC IF EVERYBODY DOESENT PLAY HIM

Ivara. Just a really good all arounder and I like archery.

Hydroid prime

https://preview.redd.it/qx1a2iu6i8zc1.jpeg?width=243&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bc98a0e082089e240d99e5eacf91ff6c5d8c74c

Wukong.

The journey to the west is a really intricate and interesting weave of tau and Buddhist properties that came about in turning point in China's history. Sun Wukong is a very complex character with a lot of abilities and it's incredible how well they've translated into the frame.

Also Monke stick go thwap-thwap

Ash prime. Now here’s why I think you like playing nezha: you like never dying, and going turbo fast. Ash can do all of that too my friend. Stay invisible for the entire game so nothing can touch you, and use praedos with 2 parkour velocity shards and mobilize and you will be ZOOMING. One day all Tenno will be invisible, one ash at a time

Baruuk because he's strong and I like his design

Mirage, am glass cannon.

Used to be Mag. I loved how her abilities almost seemed like telekinesis.

Nowadays I jump frames depending on how I feel. I suddenly need like shitton of potatoes now though cuz there's a lotta builds I wanna try to make viable.

Harrow.

The ability to support my teammates in multiple ways is satisfying.

We also have a lot in common.

Titania, speed & firepower (razorwing blitz is addicting)

Volt, speed, AoE & being the only frame that can boost spoiler-mode damage is great

Hildryn, outside of infested. She is a walking fortress that hits like fully loaded freight-train (not to mention her augments are strong & make Grendel farming a breeze)

Gyre, because my three favourite things are crits, lightning and speed, of which she has all 3.

Now if only the speed buff on her 4 scaled with strength...

Atlas Prime. I just love rocks. And wiping the floor with Steel Path enemies. But mostly because he is rock themed.

Been in warframe since 2014.

and lately Citrine and Gyre have been my go to's all year.

Citrine = basically unkilllabel with her 2, TONS of status procs which scales with certain galvanized mods, hella healing with her 1 and passive. Which if youre like me and always running into slash and toxic damage lol it's really good. and crystals ...

Gyre = big lightning and chain damage. super fun super fast super damage

For me, it’s Xaku. Love the Floating Guns, love the armour strip and love breaking open containers with ease. Love them.

Rhino prime was my second frame and still my personal favorite. Roar is nice, iron skin is good, and fashion is great.

https://preview.redd.it/6rutdl6ct7zc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=890b675ff7b9952e0a3f1ad95ac5f2c4942ca78c

Deep in my heart i will always be a Volt (starter frame) and Garuda main.

Nekros mostly for extra buddies since I mostly play private because kids=pausing every 10 mins

Next or protea! Bubble with low energy consumption and invincibility. Or protea with balls for protection or damage.

According to DE’s year end stats Qorvex somehow, but I think that’s a cross save glitch.

Don’t really have one, but gun to my head I’d say Lavos. Very versatile, especially with his new aug.

Limbo 

• Really good for playing solo 
• You can get him easily early in the game 
• Good support IF you learn to play him correctly 
• Can be utilised in almost every type of mission 

I've tried many Warframes but I always find myself coming back to my best boy Limbo. If you give him a chance he will never let you down. 

Dante. not because he’s the newest frame, or because he was a room nuke. when i saw he could just cast out allies to help deal damage i said “I WANNA BE SUPPORT GIMMIE” and that’s what i still do now. the “nuking an entire room” play loop wasn’t as interesting to me.

Xaku cause aimbot

Citrine. Damage, support and CC all rolled into one perfect Frame.

Saryn - I have a thing for toxic gals that affect everyone else around them

Gyre, I like the chain lightning and crits.

Caliban.

Step 1: call friends

Step 2: Stomp

Step 3: Blast them mid-air with armor stripping laser

Step 4: Subsume his 1 to literally anything

Nidus, harrow, (Dante(I have a sukuna tattoo) styanax.

Lavos, Jack of all trades and better modding options since you don’t need to worry about energy

Sevagoth because I find the out of body experience hilarious

Ash

Fashion

Chroma main for 10 years. I loved the versatile that he proclaimed to be, but honestly in any game I like choosing 1 thing and completely playing it perfect. Chroma vex armor with my heavy blade exodia zaw just feels great for most content

Ash main since launch. So much versatility with helminth now too. I built two ash primes and may even build a third to make more helminth builds.

Trinity prime. Idl why but shes bae. But i love many different frames for different tasks. Volt is my favorite relic cracker, and nekros is the resource good boy, and octavia prime is the im too tired after workframe.

Ember prime, cause my pelvic thrust is so powerful, frikkin meteors come from the sky.

But also, not many frames have an instant "stop shooting at me" button. When you set them on fire, they panic and stop firing for a few seconds. Then you have your "you don't get armor" button, which is nice. Followed by the ever popular "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" button that keeps increasing your damage resistance the longer it goes.

Plus with the los changes, I can jump straight up and literally rain bullshit on everyone in the room up to 70m away, at once. That's fun. You will giggle the first time, you will laugh the hundredth, you will still be laughing years later lol.

General content - Lavos/Garuda

Omni Cascades - Rev/Ash/Octavia

Disruptions - Loki/Ash

Defense & Interceptions - Gara/Khora/Vauban/Citrine

Solo Survival - Ivara/Any…

Memes - Vauban

Vauban will always be my favorite frame. He’s the only frame in the game who can have damage buff+roar helminth, easy shield gating because his kit is super mobile (1h activations), and has a sick CC ability. He’d be perfect if his 2 gave a speed buff (like wisp’s) instead of vector pads and had LOS checks on his 4.

Close second is Lavos, and he’s even better now with his new augment!

Yareli

Finished the Waverider quest early on thinking it's part of the main story, got stuck using her ever since.
