Fun Fact: In theory, mag can change a planet rotation.

the fact that grendel has a sort of prison dimension in his belly is potentially powerful, but it isnt really well-utilized or well-explained

As a mention to boost Mag a bit more (while this is mostly cosmetics but it is the default) Mag prime's 4th is described as magnetizing enemy bones and can be shown tearing chunks of gold from the ground, meaning that Mag can magnetically effect things that aren't even inherently magnetic.

Original Limbo: "haha rift go brrrrrrrrrrrr" [Gets torn in pieces]

Lore: So powerful DE: Ya, we are going to dial that back.

If Limbo isn't the top of this list, I'm gonna--

Something worthy of an honorable mention: Rhino's #4 description reads, "Rhino stomps with force sufficient to disrupt time, tumbling enemies around him in stasis." He literally hits reality with enough force to break it temporarily.

Definitely agree with Protea being up there. Hell, may even put her above Nova. Not sure why I thought Harrow would be first. However, thinking about it now, everything that took place quest wise is more attributed to his Operator than the frame itself.

If Nova ever gets a Rework, I want her Ultimate to be the Thanos Snap.

I still remeber when limbo can solo eidolon by literally stopping the eidolon from moving. Legit baby mode.

Should definitely do this video on a bigger scale top ten ? Fifteen? All of them?

I feel like Protea was kind of a waste of a time manipulating frame. The ability to manipulate time could create a really interesting kit, but it only comes into play for her 4th with her first 3 being random gadgets. Even then many people choose to replace her 4th. I feel they should've just made her the "engineer" or "tech" frame and saved the time manipulation for a frame that can fully use it.

doesnt volt control electrons meaning he can literally split atoms with enough control creating atomic explosions while moving near lightning speed (based on cinematic)

To me, the ability to summon a bubble of energy and at the tap of a button, everything stops moving has to be at the top of the list. You can do the most damage of anything in existence, but being thrust into a dimension where time itself doesn’t move, no amount of pure damage will do anything if time prevents you from using it.

Nezha is most powerful frame, so strong it can affect you irl and get you banned.

Fun fact : Wisp can do a blast 2x as massive as the origin system because there are actually stars bigger than our solar system

Guass master of thermodynamics. Nidus who is by any means a complete mystery of potential. Wukong can cheat death Volt releases so much electricity that the amount of power to achieve it is like a small nuclear warhead. Savagoth is savagoth

This was really cool, and something I've occasionally thought about since I'm a Limbo main, and he's one of the most blatantly theoretically powerful, but never really saw anyone else mentioning. If I might add my own opinion, I'd add to this list: Saryn - Can produce a plague that destroys not only biological creatures, but also machinery. This is especially interesting, as it could be inferred that a single Saryn could destroy ANYTHING that she comes across, purely by making it diseased. Nekros - Can ressurect, albeit in an imperfect form, any creature previously killed. His scream can also literally slow people down, making him nigh on impossible to outrun, and a formidable foe the more enemies thrown at him. Nyx - While her 1 is underwhelming in the game, it does show that she can take control of minds. This, with her ability to become literally unkillable, and to cause people around her to become severely disorientated, she could potentially cause the annihilation of an entire planet, merely by confusing them, or enslave a system by making them bend to her will. But yes, that's my two cents. I don't know if these actually outrank your listing (probably not, but hey, it's still cool to think about), but this was a cool video, and thank you for it.

limbo in game : help i can only stop people in a globe limbo in lore : i can tear through fabric of reality and send people to brazil.

I think atlas should have made the list. In the leverian it is said that an asteroid was so big that the orokin had to throw everthing at it: battle crusers, Orgon-rockets, even hords of Dax failde to stop the telamon cults asteroid from coliding with earth. And Atlas just summond rumblers and beat the asteroid to dust...

Limbo can control all space and time see all time-lines and move between different dimensions meaning one day he might brake the 4th wall

I do think one aspect of this conversation which is often overlooked is how some Warframes, if their powers are used in tandem, can be far more devastating than their sum. For example, if Mag and Volt use their powers together, they have full control over the electromagnetic spectrum. Which, theoretically, would grant them power *equal* to Nova.

Fun fact: Limbo could literally destroy all existence

....Honestly I think Lavos should've been put on the list JUST for weilding a power that the orokin were LITERALLY afraid of.

Speaking of time manipulating warframes, Rhino's stomp is literally powerful enough to disrupt time.

Thing about antimatter is, you don't get annihilated by just touching one single particle. If you touch one particle, only one particle gets annihilated. But what is more terrifying is the energy this annihilation releases. Only tiniest of amounts annihilation can release energies that rival even hydrogen bombs. That's why antimatter is scary. Not because of annihilation, but because of the annihilation energy. Edit: If anyone asked HOW much energy actually, well, it is pretty simple: E = mc² should be the most accurate.

I mean Atlas punched an apocalypse causing asteroids so hard it decided it shouldn’t exist. So uh, yeah

I know we are talking about the Frames being powerful in Lore But I need to say DE should Buff Wisp's forth ability Because the beam is Literally THE SUN and we all know that the sun Is Hot but that legit just Tickle the enemies to death

Totally missed Gara. She took out a Edilon by herself, before the meta.

I like how generaly Warframes are designed by DE: - female Warframes Has skills which allows them to use somehow Force in many shapes to bring massive doom on many enemies around. - male Warframes: by skills they can become tough, extremely damage resistance or invurnable and go into more face to face combat with weapons.

I'm a bit surprised Rhino "I can stomp and literally disrupt time" boi wasn't at least an honorable mention.

Before watching my predictions: Mag; literally can alter gravity of a planet Grendel; the man can eat literally ANYTHING. He IS a black hole Limbo; man literally just says fuck it and walks between the void and material plain at will

Chroma is described as the ruler/wielder of the elements. Each of the singular element frames are extremely powerful since they have mastered that element but, Chroma controls them all. He is infinitely weaker in game than his lore version. Control of fire is plasma, ice is control of water and thermodynamics, electricity means electron energy levels which is atomic power, and toxin is effectively control over decay as all poisons are basically a substance that decays a specific other substance.

Really nice list! Some of my fave ones are there :D (Nova, Protea and Limbo) - I think Sevagoth could make the list, since he governs over death and souls, while being a wraith himself, never really dieing and gaining new life with the unfortunate souls he consumes. - I'm surprised you missed out Nyx. She is a walking calamity. She is like Prof. X: mind manipulation and control on a mass scale, causing hysteria (1 and 3), telekinesis (2) and her 4 is similar to Mag's power, just in a psychic level. I'd not want to mess with her seriously... - Harrow is also interesting. He is technically playing with void powers, bestowing total immunity, chains anything with its void chains. Arguably his powers are a bit more tame compared to Nova and time bending and the like, however I think grating immortality for a short while is something that makes this list (also, that Inquisitor vibe :D). - Xaku is a void anomaly on legs as well. He can distort reality to corrupt others to serve him (Accuse), make somebody fall into madness with the voices from the Void, turning its suffering onto others (Gaze) or using a pure void beam to evaporate anything in its wake (Deny). Not to mention his 4 in which he takes on an etherial, near incorporeal form, looking like a skeletal void wraith. Which also stops time's advance on the things he conjured into this plane as well. - In a similar vain than Sevagoth, Nekros also deals with the souls of the dead, can rip them back from their slumber to serve him, can also forcibly resuscitate any other Tenno with said borrowed souls. Same ability also rips out the soul of the targets. Also causing mass hysteria and fear on a massive scale is also not something to scoff at ^^ Although he is quite tame compared to the others on the list.

Hey SmoughTown, we met on a Steel Path Incursion last week, if your in-game handle is the same! On-topic, it's just a shame that the most impressive abilities, visually and lore-wise, don't often translate to in-game efficacy. Sol Gate and Temporal Anchor are so freaking cool on every level, but quite underwhelming in practice.

I mean Protea did yoink Parvos out of reality but it killed her meaning that unlike limbo she cant fuck with time as she pleases

For an empire who likes glittering gold that didn't conquer outside from their solar system yet, they sure know how to make a powerful Warframes than the entire universe of W40k

This was awesome my friend. I have a whole new appreciation for Protea. But as you said these aren't mere space ninjas but God-like entities. And with the Helminth you can combine these powers in one frame like mag and Breach surge etc. Epic video!

I think lavos should be in this list, he has access to the jade light and that stuff literally disintegrated ivara’s squad

Excalibur will always be number one in my heart.

Protea is truly best waifu. Her kit solely revolves around protecting you. Her turret and slash grenades are for killing all threats while her dispensary is to give you and endless supply of reliable goodies on demand (its probably a storage box where time rewinds to replenish stuff spent). Her shield satellites are for protection if you still get killed, she'll rewind time to revive you. No wander Parvos developed a sister fetish from her.

Ahem, Rhino Stomp is capable of breaking reality.

8:58 Even more than that, they are turned in to pure energy in the form of photons which is why there's a bright flash. There is quite literally nothing left, not even atoms.

Cool vídeo man! Keep it up, subbed

Personally I believe lavos should be on this list as he is the alchemist and he transmuted his own master into the twin snakes he now has and still continues to teach lavos so by lore standpoint other frames are stuck with what they got but lavos can still become better from learning from javi

I have an idea for a weird video: Say you are a Grineer/Corpus detective investigating a scene of a common tenno extermination mission. Judging only by the trail of corpses, which warframe will be the most horrifying to meet at it's end? Which warframe will traumatize survivors the most? Which warframe will be the worst to die to? You mentioned you will be terrified to die by Nova, but Nova grants a quick death unlike other warframes and doesn't leave much blood behind her. My personal opinion will be Lavos and I have an explaination for that. But I want to know your take on this before explaining so I won't manipulate your opinion.

I feel like Lavos should be here he literally had the power to touch someone and turn him into goop/a snake but atleast you mentioned him :D

Im genuinely surprised that wukong didnt make the list, Great video though.

Next could you do some videos about the origins of the main factions?

So where’s my ash? My boy took on an entire army and won. Great content btw, idk why I didn’t find you sooner

Frost: Cryomancer with the ability to spontaneously generate extreme endothermic reactions "colder and deadlier than space itself." near absolute zero, that's - 455 degrees Fahrenheit, literally allowing him to freeze most matter at the molecular level, and then shatter the completely frozen matter like glass, he can also literally freeze air into a solid orb of ice in seconds, and create a blizzard with wind sheer and temperatures so low they capable of freezing objects near instantly. Zephyr: "With the power to bend air currents", or in scientific terms, purely control differential pressure of gaseous substances, she could potentially create hurricanes, strip an enemy to the bone with pure wind speeds, or crush them with simple wind pressure. Ember: can heat matter to near solar temperatures: "Igneous as the burning sun" and summon burning meteorites from space. Volt: "power to wield and bend electricity" second only to mag potentially or on equal grounds, the other side of the coin to her powers of the electro-magnetic spectrum. From Calling down lighting bolts "Lightning is extremely hot-a flash can heat the air around it to temperatures five times hotter than the sun’s surface." Also "Positive lightning can stretch across the sky and strike "out of the blue" more than 10 miles from the storm cloud where it was born." Oh and don't forget each bolt can contain up to one billion volts of electricity. Trinity: can literally redirect energy, she is a space vampire that can heal herself and others with life force, restore physical energy, and transfer damage from heat, chemical, radiation, and kinetic energy back to where it came. Virtually immortal Atlas: Geomancer, can potentially cause 10+ magnitude earthquakes, perhaps even country or continent spanning ones by striking shatter points and fault lines in solid matter, given the fact "The faults within the asteroid became vivid to him...Atlas, alone, struck the final, resonant chord...A tremor forked through the rock until, all at once, the great asteroid exploded" Scientist estimate it would take energy equivalent to about 200 gigatons of TNT to fully disrupt an asteroid with a 20-kilometer diameter, let alone blow it up. Gara: can control a form of crystalline matter that is both fluid and solid, strong enough to have "When the Sentient was done razing (plural) referring to an army of self replicating, adaptive machines, it was Gara...shattering the Sentient. She literally defeated an entire army of giant near instantly adapting war machines. Mirage: manipulates the spectrum of light, can make hard light constructs, lasers, "photokinetic displays" she is also a "A master of illusion" Its not specified if this only applies to visible wavelengths, or if she can control infrared, ultraviolet, xray, or even gamma radiation. Nekros: can manipulate life energy, "manipulator of souls." he can give this energy a physical form, potentially reviving even long disintegrated enemies into flesh, and can redirect damage to them, so also essentially immortal. Nidus: the perfected combination of technology and biology in a "Epitome of the endlessly evolving Infestation, Nidus bends the vile corruption to his will, mutates his genetic potency to adapt and assimilates his victims with an insatiable parasitic hunger" So basically the flood in the body of Master Chief. Nyx: both a telepath and a telekinetic, she can control minds, cause psychic chaos, and even redirect solid matter like bullets, while here description doesn't do her justice, without having to conform to in game mechanics she could potentially be like Jean Grey. Rhino: "Rhino is the heaviest Warframe" and given how broken his Charge/Iron Skin combo can be in game if minimaxed correctly he could potentially reach densities far exceeding tungsten, uranium, or even dwarf star material, making him virtually invulnerable to conventional damage, and given the fact he can still move, potentially turn him to a Warframe version of the Juggernaut.

Mesa ingame: DPS and Tanky machine Mesa in lore: Corpus man made me puppet

I love protea. See definitely one of my favorite frames.

Chroma us in top 10 cuz he literally has kinetic and energy absorption power. In a nutshell, the more you hit him the stronger he gets. Which is very hard to kill almost next to immortal. Which in the game even shows how his ability vex armor can stand up toe to toe with lvl 300+ enemies

Grendel? Mans is capable of literally eating worlds as he is a living black hole

im kinda sad that grendel isnt here, or nidus

I see Protea on the thumbnail, I click like. 🤘

Also Grendel is a *frickin black hole that can eat planets and sentients*

I just realized... Nova and Wisp probably should've swap their 3s

The only problem with Nova is that in addition to annihilating her target, the resulting release of energy should annihilate everything near by as well in a reaction far more violent and energetic than a thermonuclear chain reaction

id say lavos is up there too, in his levirian its shown that he can manipulate life itself

We need more laverian but it seems like since we're getting prex cards elsewhere now, DE gave up on the laverian.

There's a sublayer here too which was explored in comic books with the chracter Iceman. If you take the abilities the frames use... and then apply science to how that would be "possible". Many of them will have a much greated potential IE : Atlas can create and transmute matter at will. Which means he can actually manipulate at a molecular/atomic level. He uses it to make rocks and hit people with them, but hypothetically could just turn the wall of a Corprus ship into sand or something.

nice list, to me though Limbo is #1 since if we go by lore, protea is powerful yes but all she did was create a separate reality where time operate differently which limbo can also do( heck isnt it how he died? by miscalculating something while jumping through realities or something like that), but in his lore, it also says limbo manipulate the very plane of existence which means that if he desires something or someone to cease to exist, he can just make it happen, nova would be second since based on scientific research most of out milky way/galaxy/solar system consist of dark matter which she controls,the nekros/sevagoth cuz i mean, cant get more powerful than somebody that literally control death death and souls.(am i the only one thinking that the female frames are more powerful, based on lores)

What's the actual lore behind Inaros? I remember him being extremely powerful during his quest but everyone seems to lowball him for some reason.

Grendel the "eater of world's and everything else" man I'm kinda disappointed to not see him here's

Speaking of time, the flavour text for Rhino's 4 is that he stomps the ground so hard that he fractures/slows time which is pretty bonkers

It could be cool to se a warframe tournament were warframes fight 1v1 and see who would win lore or physic wice

When nova opens a wormhole the solar system would turn into a black hole or it will collapse and kill everyone standing close enough with Hawking radiation.

I just have one question revenant can take control of his opponents and make them fight for him so what happens if he does that on another Warframe like one of these?

Super cool!

Baruuk and Revenant should definitely make this list over mag and wisp

I was kinda expecting Nidus to be somewhere in here tbh, his lore is crazy

I think Chroma should've been on this list, in his reveal trailer the lotus says "When all the land is in ruins, only chroma will remain" That alone means lorewise he's practically immortal

What pistol does limbo use in the video

I love Atlas's lore. Dude One Punched an asteroid in his lore.

Curious if you considered xaku.

was a bit surprised that Gara wasn't on there since in her questline she was taking out Eidelons solo

Dose mags magnetism have same properties as gravity if so couldn’t she technically be able to manipulate time as-well. as the stronger the gravity the slower time moves idk if her magnetism would cover that tho

While I'm not sure he beats these five what about rhino in honorable mentions? Cononically so dense that he can disrupt localized time by stomping. While it's not explained well in game and is just kinda handwaved my theory is that he has a localized antigravity field that allows him to function normally with space around him. But that with effort he can escape from that field for brief moments. Explaining both his stomp and passive a little. Which would mean normally rhino is dense enough that he has his own gravitational pull without magic.

Protea mains RISE

I was about to comment about how limbo is in the thumbnail and I reread the title of the video

Valkyr who can deal 2m+ red crit, cc, support, and tank: 🗿

9:06 It would be more of a wormhole than a blackhole, as teleporting to another point of space is a property of a wormhole, blackholes are just ultradense objects with almost infinite gravity that crushes anything that goes inside

Man Nekros should have been number one. He controls Death

As someone who plays Limbo often, it makes me salty that he isn't number 2 Because sure Protea made another dimension whit all of her power and manipulates time, but Limbo can stop the time in his dimension and probably can make a greater dimension than any frame ever could

I feel like Chroma should be someone where near the list. I don’t remember it much, but I’m pretty sure in lore he can beat a lot of warframes. I’ll have to look into it

Given the last year and a half, it's pretty easy to see how Saryn could wipe out the entire solar system...

surprised rhino isn't here, his 4 is similar to protea, he hits the ground so hard it locals stops time

Sure I might be biased, but no one(from what I've seen) has mentioned nidus, which is fair because we literally dont know what he can do, but theoretically if his... stuff can spread to the extent the infestation we fight did, then I think he has potential. Obviously he can't nuke the solar system, but still cool to think about.

What about rhino stomping the ground so hard time stops and slows down and also the fact that his iron skin in lore will never run out

I'm a lil surprised Gara isn't up there, I mean she effectively 1 shot the original eidolon. The one with mere fragments of itself being bigger than most other bosses

My favorite is Volt, and I’ve made mine a bit of a tank, and I use mostly melee. Volt is not most favorite, but it’s mine. Thanks for the video.

5:30 okay what pistol is that?

I believe Limbo and Protea should be tied for 2 with Mag. Protea can rewind time, Limbo can freeze time (along with his ability to tear holes from the rift dimension into ours so technically he’s stronger), and Mag’s ability if pushed to the maximum could theoretically create a black hole.

If we scale their ability to omnipotent, Equinox is the embodiment of damage and rejuvenation - Destruction and Creation. This frame is so mysterious that even her lore cannot be explained. IMO Equinox is a literal god lore-wise.

I mean I would believe Grendel is one of the most powerful given that he can eat sentients. You know... the big bad of the warframe universe hellbent on taking control of the origin system and Grendel is just... "yummies"

Wouldn't Volt fit? Remember the trailer?, where he basically was moving so damn fucking fast that it looked like it was time stopped.

Grendel underrated power house "Eater of worlds" is a wild monarch

if you take in the factor of the laws of physics Pauli Exclusion Principle where two objects are not allowed to occupy the same space and time being rewound without effecting the space around the objects a lot of these brake the laws of reality and would cause something completely unknown to reality and connect dimensions to have holes and and massive amounts of destruction from just energy, but these frames do it like its nothing every few seconds and travel between dimensions like walking through a door
