Hey everyone! Today we got Rhino. Also new Rhino skin launching soon with the Citrine's Last Wish update, so the timing couldn't have been any better ;) Also important note, if you do find any errors please do let me know as soon as possible and I'll address it when I can. Thank you for your continued support as always

He's like a shark, over millions of years, he has never changed, because he is so well fit into his niche.

what can I say, making a warframe with good and reliable survivability and good damage buff is a very simple, yet very effective strategy

rhino is that one old guy who has been through everything and has the strength and know-how to help you through a tough spot. He's done literally every job, and doesn't need fancy pants complicated tech.

A simple frame for simple applications, he does whats needed and thats about it, and thats good, a frame doesn't need to be complex to be great and I think Rhino is the best example of it, even if I prefer more funky and complex frames, sometimes I like turning my brain off and just enjoying some rhino

Most balanced frame DE ever made. Has remained great for a decade.

I've been a Rhino main since Update 8. I believe that Rhino hasn't gotten any changes because he simply doesn't need them. DE hit upon the perfect formula for a support tank with his kit; he is the perfect "oh crap" frame. "Oh crap, we need more damage!" Rhino has you covered with Roar. "Oh crap, 2 guys just went down!" Rhino jumps off a cliff to refresh Iron Skin, then goes and gets both of them up while laughing at enemies. "Oh crap, we're getting swarmed!" Stomp gives you the perfect opportunity to recharge shields, grab some energy via Wellspring, or just take a breather. Deep specialization can push Rhino into a more prominent CC, buffer, or tank role, but ultimately Rhino is just what you want in an early frame, easy to get, easy to start using, and invaluable when mastered.

Rhino my beloved. First frame I farmed and remains my favorite and most used even to this date. Truly a masterful frame

And with Seven Crimes of Kullervo, Rhino’s Iron skin now grants Overguard, which not only makes him immune to crowd control but also allows him to use arcanes that proc upon taking damage.

Rhino, the OG Jack of all Trades. Was so happy first time I unlocked him, abused the hell outta of him when Index dropped too. Always a good frame to have on hand.

It's funny how consistent he remained despite all the potential nerfs. He's a frame you can't go wrong with using.

Simplicity is the keyword with rhino. Ironically the more complex a warframe is the less reliable it becomes, mostly because of animation times, stack or duration limitations or horrible scaling

Rhino is the personification of perfecting fundamentals. There is no gimmick, no secret combo, no press one button to win... Rhino is just a really solid foundation capable of adapting on the fly, and having a good amount of self-preservation. The calling cards of a true ninja.

He's just a good fun frame. He works well in different ways and above all he's easy to use. He's also a god with the MIGHTY SEER

I'm a Rhino main and I was looking forward to this video. Nice to learn about what the frame was like before i started playing

In some sense Rhino is very simiar to Gauss: he'll stay relevant as long as the game mechanics he's built upon stay relevant. And the whole "not dying + boosting damage" thing will always be a crucial part of the game, so Rhino will always stay at least decent, if not better

Nekros is another frame that has stayed relevant since his release but not because his whole kit is good. It's all because of one ability: Desecrate. Best farming ability in the game. Recently with the armor strip changes, Terrify has been getting some attention. However Nekros can struggle taking advantage of that ability on his own since his Shadows' damage becomes less consistent as enemies run away and his Punch's damage isn't great and it pushes enemies away when it's used. Nekros can potentially be a good tank or do an alright amount of damage but both things require a lot of set up and specific items to get there

as a rhino main this video brings me joy xD

Y'know, I chose Rhino when I started playing because he looked like the best fit for a melee build. I had no idea he was literally the best frame in the game

The main thing that's kept rhino from ever falling off is that his kit will work well no matter the situation,most frames that have fallen off are specialists that were built around doing something that became pointless as the game evolved but rhino's kit is literally just "more damage,don't die" and that'll be good in any situation,you could probably put rhino in an entirely different mmo and he'd still be good

i remember playing rhino and frost in the beta days and around launch. man those 2 frame were TANKS i mean didn't matter how high the enemies were if they activated iron skin or snow globe, no bullets were piercing through

Was about to go to bed... but I'll watch this first.

Rhino was the first warframe I ever got. His kit was so easy to learn and made getting into the more complex parts of the games easier.

Man I missed seeing the animation for Radial Blast. I loved punching the ground. It felt bad when they removed it and kept the leg stomping, because it seemed much less cool. Was my favorite for the longest time. Still in my top 3

Like...well...everyone, Rhino has a special place in my heart. Still a go to frame at times. Love the guy

I feel like rhino is just the perfect beginner frame, and should be given after the tutorial for building (I know it basically is on Venus but new players don't know that) He is a frame that doesn't require much input and let's players focus on gameplay. Turn on ironskin, turn on roar, run around and kill stuff. 1 and 4 are panic buttons. He is just a simple frame with good tools. Damage/stagger immunity and damage buff. Always solid.

Loki was my starter frame. I played the game a lot early on, and I always looked forward to getting rhino prime. Unfortunately, I had quit after a short while. About 600 days ago, he was unvaulted, and I returned to the game. I’m now LR 2 and main rhino for everything. It’s like I knew back then that I needed him

As my main since day one, I like him for the fact he isn’t overly eccentric or wild. He’s hard to kill. He’s relatively fast. And he can bodyslam through more targets.

Holysht.. This gotta be my favorite video of yours! All the clips of Rhino at the beginning years of Warframe.. He was always my first choice on every account!

I’d say the only things rhino could use as QoL would be: 1. his rhino skin UI, meaning instead of having his iron skins health value shown at the top right of the screen as a small icon that can get cluttered up with other buff icons, just copy what they did with nezha’s warding halo health UI and/or garudas UI on her damage passive. 2. An energy pool buff to his prime variant. not asking for huge buff just a little buff like inaros prime. Mainly because helminth exists now so some subsumed abilities may require a lot more energy. We shouldn’t have to throw 2-4 blue shards on a frame for that.. not on primed frames at least imo. Him along with frost p and ash p still remain the lowest energy pools in the game (425 energy with max p flow equipped) and it’s just archaic at this point. Other frames have way larger energy pools than they really need so why not buff these 3 too. 3. As you stated already, making roar recastable. Self explanatory really. W video as always, keep up the good work

Bro i have to admit, I've been watching these warframe videos here on your channel since the Excalibur video and as a Nintenno, I love your content and I'm proper looking forward to umbra, oberon and chroma!!

As a new player who wanted nothing but a rhino before even learning about him. This is really good to hear

Hella underrated channel keep up the good work big bro💪

Cool channel! Just got into Warframe ever since I got to use a Nintendo switch this year, so I know who I'll be grinding for!

20:22 replacing stomp is actually very bad in overall, because how numbers work, you will find yourself struggle a lot with dealing with damage scaling, and taking away stomp take his power away of able to counter violence even before entering his silence range, stopping exmius/ overguarded enemies from moving at all, and yeah, demolishers too, and quite literally, all chart bosses. And violence being the most scary acolyte to literally all frames, taking away Stomp is just making him struggle to deal with violence due to him simply taking out your hard build iron skin and reduced to nothing. And I guess most people really don't understand that "iron skin setup" is no longer a better alternative, due to how limited he can be with the way of modding it, and probably make him far weaker than you all expect. IT IS JUST BAD. SO OVERRATED. Shield gate with iron skin with 175% efficiency or neutral efficiency with arcane energize is actually a far better alternative now due to how invisible period works. 28:29 no. A complete no. The current meta of rhino is to literally abuse the iron skin recast to constantly getting that 3s invulnerable period and let the game build up iron skin health. Rhino is the only frame capable of not using any augment whatsoever. If you want to rank: 1. Iron shrapnel 2. Piercing Roar 3. Reinforcing stomp 4. Ironclad charge Recasting iron skin is literally his way of playing, with the way of this building method, he is literally the 2nd frame capable of having no rolling guard, no vazarin and still thrive in level cap missions, simply because how broken iron skin alone is. With the rotation of cast iron skin, iron skin down, shield down, do the shield gate with iron skin recast, or occasionally cast one more abilities due to even shields can be down when iron skin is recasted. You are just so, so fine. Nothing can kill you. With other frame relies so much on vazarin and rolling guard to even survive, he is the only frame besides rev, that can care no about dying, if you don't play badly. 32:43 it is expensive for reasons. Imagine an ability that can literally stop anything, eximus, thrax, acolytes and all chart bosses, destroy spy cams, exceptional cc viability that just simply bodied over gloom in cc power, any defensive missions with his 4 is a complete joke, modding range? Guess you wanna see the half of the map stops around you... This is the raw cc viability that almost all cc frames wish they could have, and it is on a frame that is not made for cc. 33:33 least useful...Holy jesus. What is this actual hell. A CC that care less about anything, acolyte's bane of existence besides silence from banshee, stealth farming machine, the only ability that makes him viable in not only saving teammates in a pinch with that cc, the only ability that made him a good spy frame due to stop is able to destroy cams, interception is a joke, almost everything is a joke in front of this cc. This is just too unreal in my eyes. Stomp is literally his greatest panic button and any defense based mission is just another joke for him, his panic button that stops everything that tries to pose a threat to you. And you tell me it is the least useful abilities of his kit. No way. Just no way. His 1 is way more useful...*sigh* You are taking away 35% of his versatility just to have funny iron skin numbers... Bro. I am just very sad that I HAD TO ADMIT this is just another misinformation about how Rhino should be, the first half part I can agree, but the last few mins is just sad for me who played him religiously for 1 year, dugged out almost all aspects of him, what he is capable of, and how severely underrated he is in other category, there's so much thing you didn't mention about him and it is okay, consider that you don't play it religiously, and yet, this is just another "iron skin setup" rhino build for me. I never felt so disappointed by a video form you, to be honest. - Sincerely from a hardcore Rhino main.

I love my Rhino. I learned a lot of stuff concerning Iron Skin, thanks !

I remember back when raids were still a thing, Rhino was very useful for his stomp just cutting the sources of incoming damage and was mostly built for it. The high range for a stomp-focused build also allowed him to provide a boost in damage to the entire squad of 8 which was of course always nice, then his iron skin would prevent him getting thrown off the platforms in the first phase. Rhino has started suffering after Steel Path, as power creep increased and armour strip became the more prevalent strategy over just plain buffing damage. He's still good but for steel path and archon hunts he's now more reliant on weapon builds than himself, which the same could be said with many other frames.

I wonder how different Warframe would be if Rhino’s ironskin was his subsume instead of his roar. Roar is one of the strongest and most go-to helminth abilities but ironskin is pretty cracked too so it’s hard to say

i know i am a year late on watching these but currently running through these videos and while some more changes have happened to the frames the retrospective on the game is awesome

I’m sort of new to the game - played for a while back when I was in college, but ended up dropping it because myself and the friend I played with had a sort-of falling out. Got back into it about a month ago, restarted on a new console and I’m re-learning the game, and Rhino is my current favorite frame. Only have three frames - Volt, Mesa (got a coupon as a login bonus and remembered liking her), and farmed out Rhino. And honestly, he’s been great. But I like him mostly because of how easy to use he feels. I’m not good with complex characters in most games I play - the more thinking they require, the worse I usually do - and Rhino just feels so simple to get a handle on that it’s made everything since I started using him much better to handle. Anyway, I’m happy to hear that he’s a solid frame to use in pretty much all content, because that means I’ll always have at least one reliable frame to use no matter what I’m doing.

once i saw rhino a few years ago when killing the jackal it was basically love at first side, badass appearence that made other warframes look small, respectable croud control and mobility with his 1, the best defence in game with his 2 IMO, a badass damage buff with his 3 that dosent ask you to do any specific bs just press a button and have fun, and the STAR PLATINUM ZA WARUDO! with his 4, his passive is kinda meh not gonna lie, but words cant express how much i love this character the moment i first started played as him i knew he would be my main, never regreted my descision and never will do

This channel is pure nostalgia!

I just started playing warframe this year and I’ve been running rhino pretty much non stop. I have a few more frames in the foundry but I haven’t collected them because I don’t have a reason to and I don’t have a lot of space

The thing about rhino stomp is that it’s slow effects eximus units even when they have over guard making it one of few effective crowd controls when eximus have over guard and it effects acolytes I don’t know about liches but it probably works on them too. It also works on bosses like captain vor for example and it turns out slowing enemies by 97.5 percent makes then basically not a threat and easy to kill. And it goes through walls and has no enemy cap.

Rhino's the definition of _"if it ain't broken _*_DON'T_*_ fix it"_ I remember trading the parts to get Rhino Prime and after getting him he's my main boi for Index and sometimes defensive

acutally since just got buffed recently because they made his reinforcing stomp augment scale. you can now rhino to absorb ironskin then stomp for cc and to heal ironskin, i literally went to level cap with no helminth and i didint die once, it scaled so well after they buffed his augment and now you dont even need to build for armor and so much strength, just get efficency range and the augments boom ez lvl cap

Been a Rhino Main since I unlocked him (started playing on-and-off around the time mesa was added to xbox) and Rhino Prime was my first and most played prime. Hes extremely versatile and pretty much idiot-proof which is good because i am a solo idiot 90% of the time. Its always fun to see how big of an iron skin hp pool i can get (once stood in front of a laser by accident and realized thats actually a strat lol).

4:54 man i miss the box shaped ogris and torid, they were so much more simple, iconic and funny looking.

I'm a Rhino main, but imo he needs a good passive and a good offensive attack. He doesn't have anything comparable to other frames that are OP nukes. The Helminth system somewhat helps, but it doesn't solve the problem.

Yeah first frame I ever farmed for got through most of the star chart so far, I plan on getting inaros prime sometime though. Having a bit of trouble with getting extract but I'll get it eventually

Are you going to do one for Yareli? Really want to hear your thoughts.

As a rhino main approve of this video 👍

The nsr music makes me unconditionally happy

I Played Rhino when The beta first came out. The first change to his Iron skin was Pretty much what the community was talking about until they reverted the change. Till this day I have never seen a backlash that hard.

I'm just up playing Warframe. I'll listen to this while I play

One of my top three, favorite tank’s. Oh and I got dude looking like “Doom-Slayer.” Pretty sick.

I was gifted a Rhino Prime years ago. I still main him. My Boltor Prime was my main primary for a long time, and has a ton of forma in both. When I came back and found out that Boltor Prime sucks I was pretty sad. He's still great for Index. His only weakness is in Parkour 1.0 he couldn't run.

One thing you forgot to mention is how stomp still slows overguard And why would you even remove it from him?? It's straight up an amazing ability that take a huge aoe and just gives a middle finger to all enenies inside it Lastly, i'd consider rhino as more of a effect frame as he applies buffs to himself and debuffs to enemies 1-ragdoll+knockback [armor buff 2-buffs himself with ignoring x damage (only tank ability) 3-buffs your and ally damage [and debuffs enemies] 4-slow everything down in a monstrous radius, while also forcing knockdown [iron skin heal too]

Love the vids keep it goin g

Some changes I’d like to see in Rhino. Change his passive, maybe something like is Iron Skin takes reduced damage so it doesn’t get melted in high end steel path. (Maybe that’ll be too OP) Also you should be able to recast Iron Skin without the augment. His Stomp needs the biggest rework imo. I think it’d be cool if they make it so his stomp strips armor that’d be nice.

Rhino in lore: doesn't move an inch Rhino in game: doesn't move an inch Rhino in the meta: doesn't move an inch

I found your channel recently, you put out good stuff. Also, first👋

I love how at the 18 minute mark he just sounds like a disappointed parent.

First frame I got, and first prime I farmed. used him to do all my content for like the first half a year.

Rhino was my first prime, guy gave it to me along whoth burston primes.

Rhino is an inamovible force in Warframe's meta.

Are you ever going to make these type of videos for weapons in wf after the warframes?

I like to imagine every rhino main just has the stomp em in the nuts song going on repeat in there head

That's right baby. No rework. Came out strong from the jump 💪 As an early closed beta player, my Rhino prime is the jewel of my collection ever since I first crafted him

The rule of rhino seems to be "Rhino does not care", Not enough damage? not a problem. Survivability? not a problem. Too many enemies? No such thing. Weak abilities? Not the case. Overpowered abilities? None break the meta. Basically. Rhino keeps saying no to questions that critizise it, and it seems to just work at this point.

It's pretty funny that ive done a lot with rhino. He was my main goto for spy for the longest time. Got the vanguard arcane helm for sprint speed. Need a fuck it button? Stomp Need a great dmg buff? Rawr. Need tank? Tank. Charge? Zoom. I should test out fun subsume combos on him. Might subsume citrines ability onto him seeing its been buffed. Rhino is love, rhino is life.

Rhino. My first main, my first prime, my og boy.

I have found one time roar isn't wanted. When your going for a consecutive headshot challenge. For instance, make sure no one is trying to rank up their incarnon's headshot challenge before roaring down an angel.

Guilty of having rhino prime as my first prime. My main for about six months.

Looks like weve got a Rammus on our hands boys. Seeing Dante's ability reveal gave me flashbacks to when Aphelios was introduced to League. Also a side note: I tried replacing Iron Shrapnel for an Index run, and immediately regretted it as I had no way of reliably refreshing my Iron Skin from 400 or less with a group of enemies available for Charge. Not the biggest deal with the shield-gating mechanic, but it still felt clunky.

I had rhino on my switch account but when I moved to p.c as a returning/new account player I skipped him, but I might have to farm him again

babe wake up new NovaUmbral video just dropped

Ive been looking for a build that doesnt replace his ult because its so cool.

My boy. My main frame since closed beta.

Good video once again… need to sleep now

Kind of glossed over Disruptions (which have become the go-to relic farms). Pros : Rhino's stomp works on Demolysts..... weirdly. It doesn't lift or ragdoll them or even stop them, but their AI seems to kind of break for the duration (this also happens to a few other things that are meant to be mini or even major bosses) Cons : Demolysts can be very dangerous to Rhino. They emit those nullifying pulses and suddenly Rhino's Roarless and Iron SKin less in the middle of the highest enemy density in the game. He can keep his distance but that can also be tricky on some tilesets, and if he does get caught by that very quick and hard to notice pulse, there's not a big luxury of tiime to get his proverbial pants back on. The argument could be made that this affects all Warframe kits, but very few others tend to be so completely infested for BOTH survivabilitty and damage in maintaining buffs 100% uptime.

Rhino is so cool, he should get 3 deluxe skins

rhino is really funny with breach surge and residual kitgun arcanes

in the corner of my eye your Rhino looks like the sigma photo

The addition of Archon Shards just made him even sturdier. Tauforged or not, stick a bunch of Azure Shards into his back and watch Iron Skin reach horrifyingly large numbers for so much less work.

If I had to change Rhino passive as a dev, id consider one idea that the stomp drains shields and armor of enemies and converts them to iron skin HP. With the added bonus that it could keep adding to it and not just be a heal. This would give Rhino a much needed armor strip in Steel Path and of course allow the trend of absurd Iron Skin numbers to continue. And then the mod could be changed to do something different. Maybe the mod could be changed to pull enemies in towards Rhino, That would be a bonus to melee players.

Power in simplicity. Consistency in ease.

Here to request Oberon, though radiation sickness will cause you to look for supportive aide elsewhere.

My main: nourish+full str+4 tauforge red shard= 700k slash proc Tonkor. I love it.

I like that Rhino was the first of primes for many, which somehow includes me. My brother gave me him extremely early and before I knew what I was doing at all. This was back when Wukong prime came out. Anyone knows when that was?

Could u consider having a vid about resources

Still got PTSD from the "4 man Rhino team" era of Warframe.

We need to hear the fallout of Hydroid afterwards😭

Rhinos passive is nice, in PvP, was my fav PvP frame 😋

I miss the old jackal map. I loved just one shooting him

I’ve never used this warframe before ever since got gauss he’s all I use Should I get the beetle warframe? So I need a augment to make him good?😒

Completely new player been playing for five days now I'm one component away from getting rhino and had no clue how I was getting the parts lol he's still extremely easy to get

Good day when NovaUmbra video is released

Rhino is my one and only index frame. He can face tank too round 5 with barely any upkeep.

I haven't played him for so long, but rhino is still my most played frame.
