Nice, tho I think frost counts because when he's in the mission no one notices ;)

Just the Operator alone is probably at least A tier. Void mode grants true invisibility and makes you invulnerable.

Them: go stealth Me: nobody will see if there is nobody too see

Great list! I think Ivara could have gotten one pip in silence due to her exalted bow being silent. Love seeing Wisp here - I think a lot of people forget her awesome passive.

The joke with Ivara is that it took me so many runs to farm her components that by the time i got her completed I knew all vault tile sets and how to solve them making her somewhat obsolete

I found this vid, and i can already tell that you are underrated. The video was really helpful, keep it up!

Loki can also use his clone and teleport to it to bypass lasers, with just a bit of practice he really become a god tier stealth frame

S tier serious warframe content. Very new player friendly. This here is what DE forgot: a useable Warframe handbook.

Just so Everyone knows they changed Where Ash Drops. Ash drops in Railjack missions.

Man i remember the days i spent farming ivara parts, so proud to have her on my rooster and as my fav warframe

I love the stealth frames as a whole, but you definitely overlooked half of Loki’s abilities. Definitely S tier across the board on all 4 of your requirements.

Helminth hacker ability with wukong allows you to do rescue/spy missions in a fraction of the normal time! I love monke

I think Most Warframe players forget teleportation Can be used for stealth,Like Ashes for instance,If you cant get through Lasers you can use his teleport to teleport THROUGH the lasers,Or switch your position on the other side of the laser traps with an enemy if there is one.

I have found a new voice that i can sleep listening too.. Plus.. i like listening to informational videos. Combined with it being a game im invested hard into.. You got yourself a new subscriber

meanwhile hydroid is so good at hiding in his puddle he even avoided this list. S+ tier for sure

You are extremely underrated you deserve much more subs especially because your quality which in my honest opinion is great

Dude this channel is so underrated and I subbed, thx for sharing this video. High quality video and nice voice narration.

Whilst Ivara is definitely the best stealth frame, if you're looking for a frame to speedrun spy vaults with, Wukong is significantly better just because of the speed of Cloudwalker

Great video mate😁. Just want to mention one more thing about Loki's kit he can somewhat bypass spy traps/lasers with decoy and switch teleport. (It's no where near ivara's ability to just walk through anyof them though)

Honestly, to me, Ivara's real power is shown when you're in the open world doing things like fishing or hunting. Being able to stay invisible for extended periods of time helps prevent annoying things like enemies constantly trying to fight you while you're just wanting to stand around and fish. She'd be completely perfect for it, honestly, if the mining laser didn't break her invisibility.

Ivara became one of my favourite frames to use during my run through the star-chart as spy missions were a great challenge that reward you for memorizing the layout and timing your actions accordingly while I do agree that its more efficient to cloud walker through the barriers but for those who took the time to do them were rewarded with a versatile frame for their efforts.

Kengineer is the Uncle Dane of Warframe, change my mind.

a good time to remake this video with helminth combinations ;) silence on a few frames, lull on others, etc. great videos, gl

Not much of a stealth frame, but Nova on a teleport build can make very quick work of some easier vaults too, and bypasses gates. Wukong and Wisp's speed make this a bit unnecessary, but it's still an option if you feel like it! I also remember doing an earth spy a few times by just having Maim active, but that seemed to trigger alarms when I tried it later, not sure.

For loki you missed a few huge things(note all I'm about to say came from console more specifically ps4 so some may not be true on pc). Decoy doesn't set off cameras. Why is this important? This is important because you can switch teleport the decoy to ignore laser barriers and huge amount of puzzles. Aswell he has access to the one ability the allows him to cheese many objectives. I won't reveal all but one trick to give a example. Loki decoys can capture crates on Fortuna bountys allowing him to be able to capture three areas at once. His decoy, the frame, and operator can all individually capture a area.

“We’re space ninjas, not warhammer spacemarines” My gauss prime duration build+phenmor damage build would like to have a word with you

preparation, infiltrator augment, primed flow, and a moderate amount of duration and efficiency makes sortie spy missions a breeze with Ivara, you can even put on arcane energize and you'll almost never run out of energy with her as long as you're able to steal energy orbs from enemies. Though I'd recommend just using Limbo or Wukong for lower level spy missions because of how agile they are and the bonus of being able to bypass vault lasers.

You should do build video's would love to see what you use for your frames, always looking for new idea's :)

Even with Limbo, Loki and Ivara. Wukong is S++ tier regarding Spy Missions. You just fly on the speed of light and finnish the mission. While ivara is still rolling to get in the first vault...

There is an irony to my acquisition of Ivara: I used the prime version to do the spy missions to farm the regular components. With preparation mod, and great ability efficiency, I can scoot through any spy missions without having to interact with any enemies.

Loki should also be S tier in m opinion. His switch teleport and his decoy can be used to bypass laser barriers, while his radial disarm can incapacitate enemies. Sort of.

I remember when Ash was the definitive stealth frame.. my poor boi :(

I think you forgot the synergy between blade storm and arcane trickery. I think it is worth a mention even though it does not help with "stealth missions" or that it is utilizing an arcane.

Ash is the true space ninja, Loki is the true space trickster

Great vid

I'd say Zephyr's innate lower gravity and ability to hover or air-dash in any direction with her first ability can be helpful to cheese certain vaults.

Ivara is my favorite frame. Her kit is perfect space ninja shit.

Beautiful stuff beautiful game

Hydroid should be on C or B tier, his puddle form is invisible to enemies and you can suck them in from a distance without alarming anyone. The only problem is that you can only move slowly.

I felt very proud when you were praising Ivara. Years of maining the Jellyfish finally paid off

MR 3s and veteran players who only use Rhino: "What's a stealth frame"

S+ tier: Frost because he's VALID 🥶

Octavia also has the mallet and the resonator or both that should contribute to Enemy incapacitation. Mallet forces all enemies to fire on it even at far range, but since enemies can also be stormtroopers, only way to be damaged is when you're in the line of fire. Resonator silences their attacks if within range instantly

unintended (?) ASMR 😍

With baruuk your best off using the dreamers air support from your ship

What's the name of the background music at the beginning of Video?

what's the song at the beginning? i swear to god i know it but can't remember it

You should do speed frames, melee frames, caster frames, tank frames, loot frames.

No mention on Nova's portals to bypass traps?

With Ash Prime being available due to prime resurgence as of right now I’ve been opening relics and getting everything but his parts. Even with them fully refined and everything. I want to upgrade to Ash Prime since I have base Ash because of circuit rewards.

thanks a lot man

Great video! Keep them coming

One of The Frames I use in Stealth Missions is Volt lol His Speedy makes him good

ivara is only immune to vault traps if she has the max influence sindicate mod. Limbo on the other hands can walk through and entire vault and never trip anyting or take any damage.

What stealth mission is he doing?

i got all of ivara's parts at MR 4 with a volt lmao as a result i got kinda cracked in doing the little security minigames

Thx this video was great i was looking for a stealth frame.

"not 40k space marines", yeah we're Primarchs. Average space marine isn't as strong as a warframe.

Limbo is criminally underrated for his stealth powers.

Equinox - can disable as Baruk, old school way to Max weapons

So what about Titania? She can just bypass all vaults on Lua and most normal spy missions, can’t she?

Ash is no longer obtainable from Manics. Now he's almost impossible to acquire :(

ivara has 1 draw back that is that she's energy hungry cause evry step consumes a lil bit of energy and yu can't run whilst cloaked or yu loos the cloak (yu can roll though) but she's good though and also if yu use an alarming un silenced weapon well she drops her stealth whilst shooting thn recastin cloak again :)

Can't Loki switch teleport through any relevant laser barriers? While I'm on the topic of teleportation, Ash, Nova, and Nezha have a form of it- and Nova and Nezha's teleport ranges are RIDICULOUS.

The best stealth frames are Ember, Equinox, Saryn and other nuke frames. If everyone is dead, there's no-one around to say you weren't stealthy. Full credit for this joke goes to Josh Strife Hayes.

i mean tecnically ash has 1 point extra in silence with his ultimate , since it can kill most enemys with out alerting the rest : they need to see a clone striking his friends but yeah .... hey sadly not every warframe can be an op machine.... im happy that at least is still in the game for the most part

How i never used limbo for spy mission damn

Thx !!!

Amazing video im glad you didnt just be like these frames go invisible your welcom

So I’m just starting out at mastery rank 2 which frame should I aim for first

9:33 or in my case, "rollin', rollin', rollin'"

Kinda late to the party but there is another option for stealth, if there is no one to notice no one will notice :3 Memes aside i did expect ivara to be on the top

Of course, no one but the huntress queen herself could be S tier.

Reading about Ivara on the wiki and seeing her demonstrated here, I don't understand how she's 'good' let alone S tier. What am I missing? With all the stuff she's got for stealth/sneaking I could understand B tier but since she has the absolute worst version of everything I can't see going higher. Her stealth burns energy much faster then Loki or even Ash, and at least they can move normally while invisible. Wisp has a better invisibility as a permanent passive! I'll give Ivara credit that she can stand/walk in a laser while invisible for longer then Wukong can zoom past all the lasers while invisible, but I don't really see why people like crawling around in the lasers when you can just zoom past them or teleport past them with other frames on the list, and then go operator if your frame isn't invisible, since at least void energy regenerates and voidmode doesn't force you to walk. What good is an arrow that cloaks your ally if it's only in one tiny spot and still only lasts 12s? Well actually that sounds extremely useful for shooting at downed allys before rescuing them, but that's still only for making you invisible. Lastly she can shoot enemies to sleep them for a moment, but multiple other frames can aoe sleep/stun everything around. If you have to shoot every enemy to avoid them telling on you, then Shoot em with a bow or anything silenced. Save 25 energy and no need to recast. To reclarify, I don't have Ivara and thus haven't tried Ivara. I'm just not understanding what she's good for that would cause her to be so popular. Seems to me she's a simple damage frame with a bunch of useless borked stealth abilities in place of her abilities and a pet mod (radar) as a passive. What am I missing?

Ash can use his Shuriken to destroy sensors.

I dont' like Ivara. Keeping her invisibility up prevents the zenurik energy refresh because the ability is constantly on. With Loki or Ash, I can cast the ability and that's it, the enrgy can gather up during the time I'm invis. With Ivara, I just run out of energy after a while, while on ash or loki, I can just stay invis through the whole mission.

Ivara should be perfect to grind focus right?

So uh 2 years late, but ash definetly deserves a higher spot, his teleport can go through walls, allowing him to out right skip 70% of spy vaults. Often theres an enemy in the room that you can teleport to, or just a crate or something

any frame is a stealth frame as long as you kill enough people fast enough.

You only considered Spy vaults for viability. What about the other missions? Stealth may not be useful during Defense or Excavation but Capture, Rescue, Extermination and even Survival can all be done stealthily

Loki main here, spy missions are my bitches

Wukong S tier

What, no Mirage? She can just turn vault traps friendly for a time.

Shoutout to Untraceable, the parazon mod that makes you invisible for 15 seconds after hacking

Loki switch teleport and invis r useful

I love ivara but she lacks movement and ash u can be invisible longer then Loki can

Where's Nova? Her 3 allows you to just jump past everything

What?! Space Ninjas? What is this you speak of. Damn it! I thought I was a Primarch murdering those Corpus & Grineer Traitors and those filthy Xenos. I mean Infested... 😉

It's funny how you aren't using any bows in this mission which is the stealthiest weapon in the game Well of what I have heard of

Question, can you subsume loki’s invisibility onto ash’s 1?

I never use atlas as a stealth frame, he is best used as a strike and control frame, but realistically, those who play him right, like myself, its basically a multi-role frame that is capable of doing just about anything. I main him as my frame.

why did you not consider wisp's 3 for enemy incapacitation?

Nezha can also be on this list as his teleport allows him to bypass lasers

I learn how to play Warframe better, with every Video TheKengineer puts out. Seriously, Warframe ought to make Ken a WF Partner. He's that good for the Game :) People; Look at Ken's other Warframe Videos. They are extremely welll done and helpful. please subscribe, like, and comment. Let's get TheKengineer boosted up. Disclaimer : I am not Married to, Dating, or Related to TheKengineer

im just gonna get ash anyways

lol ash is hard to farm now

Your 1k like

Is no one going to talk about "invibisibility"

Maybe you should give a shot to titania as a stealth mission frame. Parazon mods on hacking would be good too.

lol rhino stomp for stealth lvling lol
