Happy New Year! Whats youre Favorite Frame right now? I've really been enjoying Mag but also Dagath

Mag was my starter frame and will always hold a place in my heart. I have fun playing all sorts of frames, but mag I will always go back to, whether that be when helping clan mates or playing solo. Playing her is always a fun time to me.

Mag has been outstanding in all phases ever since the previous round of shield changes four years ago. She can heal, she can defend, she can CC, she can defence-strip, she scales exquisitely, she doesn't care about nullifiers and she laughs in the face of Eximus units. I love her proactive, engaging playstyle and her ability to turn underappreciated weapons into war crimes.

AS A PROUD 11YR MAG VETERAN... I don't know if she's the most underrated WarFrame ever, but I've certainly seen some very hilarious assessments of her power. She's been fantastic since her 2nd Rework, she got better recently even... She somehow keeps winning. She's kinda busted. And I love her to death.

mag being underrated? madness, i picked her up 8years ago and she's still probably my most favourite frame ngl

Haven't played for 2-3 years, but yeah: Mag rules. Super intuitive, pleasant simple design, squishy enough to feel tense/rewarding to play, tankie enough to allow risks and flourishes. A caster supersoldier.

Mag It's definitely one of the best Warframes disguised as a starter frame. Loved the builds!!

Mag was also my pick for most underrated and I agree with your points on it. Many people I see that discovers her potential often go "damn I didn't know she was THAT good."

Just came back to the game after 3 years and Frost was always my favorite warframe. Thought he would be outdated now, but turns out he is lowkey incredibly strong with some mods that have been updated/added to the game in recent times. 30k+ Overguard for the entire team, 130% armor strip and 200% crit chance/damage to your weapons on frozen targets all in one ability. Melts high level content in one hit whilst providing great survivability.

I remember when i first started. My buddies all selected excalibur as their starter. So to be different i selectdd mag. Took some time to figure out how to use her correctly. But once i got the gameplay down, absolutely fell in love

Definitely enjoying this build variation thx. Changed up the arcane blessing for augmented just to ramp up the damage a bit

Mag was always so squishy in my eye's. After the heirloom skin I gave her another shot and OMG she is amazing! I can not believe how tanky she is and her tool kit is amazing. Definately slept on her for too long. Have to say my fave is still Kullervo as wiping rooms on SP enemies with a single melee heavy makes me giggle maniacally every time :D

I started using Mag for her funny interaction with the Steflos, but she quickly became a favorite. Dropped some cash for a Tennogen skin immediately to get her looking fancy, and I use her all the time in Steel Path. Excellent frame.

I love that you added the shield update changes, most people seem to forget that would help some (if not all) squishy frames. I personally don't have shards unlocked but I can't wait to get my girl, Mag her gems.

Mag was my starter. I was happy that when they buffed the starters. Didn't think to try anything like what you showed here but now I've gotta try these (even without the topaz shard). Cheers!

26% usage. Almost LR4. I've always loved mag

As a Mag main, brings me to a tear😩

I’m so pleased Mag is feeling so much love lately. I enjoyed her from the moment I began the game.

2024 just started and bro already have favorite warframe of that year

Mag and frost are my all time favourite warframes, I used to love experimenting with Mag’s magnetise and different weapons to get the biggest damage and explosions, it’s a while since I’ve played though

So one of mine would be Revenant. He has just had one of those kits that is generally good and can, for the most part, always be taken into any mission to use. I have always felt he was really strong ever since his release.

aznvasion made a pretty good mag video recently too. Magnetize focused build that helminth's out mag's 3 (honestly without scaling the strip from polarize is VERY meh in SP) for garuda's altar. Pull mobs in, magnetize something, blood altar it = magnetize pulls for its entire duration instead of just a few seconds cause your magnetize target usually insta dies. Its *amazing* to play around and you still have all the CC from pull, the tankyness from mag's 4 (don't even need the augment for her 4 honestly).

I'm glad to see more ppl coming to their senses. Mag was my first frame, and Mag Prime is my fave. Your build is spectacular, though. If i hadn't been away for so long, I could imagine mine being similar. Thanks for another great vid.

She’s been my starting frame for the 3 months I’ve been playing the game off and on, haven’t gotten my hands on a prime frame yet but I’ve tried a couple other regular frames and always find myself coming back to mag, love her move set and play style can’t wait to have her prime great video 👍🏻

as a fellow mag main, i have to say i fricking love youre videos!

Reverse polarity and fracturing crush is the only needed augments on mag for survival/endurance gameplay definitely a goated frame fs

@TacticalPotato Thank you for the Video. The shield reg from sentinel dmg seems to be fixed now tho and doesnt work anymore?

I have not played Warfram in months or a year, but Mag is my Main and will always be my starter. With it being so long, I don't exactly remember the details, but I have 3 Mag Primes, each with a notably different set of builds. I love her near versatility, even against infested. As of this post, cross-save is fully active, and with that, I will likely come back swinging. Love this refresher on Mag and get a glimpse of what is now available in the build space.

I remember giving my starting buddy ayatan sculptures when they first started because I knew the pain. Also me and 3 other buds had the prime parts for a frame none of us had and was vaulted but we gave them all to him. This was before the Aya thing so it was cool to have done. Remember to help your new friends. I kept stopping because the starting is slow and kinda sucks and im not the only one. So make sure your friends get to feel the fun of the game before they decide.

Man, when i heard that mag ability sound from the trailer. I was so fking hyped, it gave me a bit of tear.

That beat though!! Love it!

It's funny how I started investing in my Mag again and I see a video coming out about her. I've been having a lot of success with slapping her with two green shards for armor strip and subsuming Hydroid's Tempest Barrage and using her magnetize to get everyone in a nice little group.

Mag was my go to frame when i used to play my daughter pick her as starter and loves her ever since i think she get madsed over because she doesn't have one button game play she actually requires you to pay attention which the cod kids cant do

For me, my go-to frame has been Stynax. He's survivability along with the team buffs he gives has made him easily my go to for all missions.

Was confused when potato referred to Aoi as "A-O-E".

Love this. Since I merged all account I got mag prime back and I’ve been in love with her ever since

Mag was one of my first steel path choices. Shes fun, survivable more than ever and can deal with near anything thrown at her xd

I've been using Mag a lot recently because of the event and she has been great

Started useing her after getting that 80 spuds skin. Pretty fun

About to start leveling Mag for the first time. My main and also my favorite that Iv been using is Ember. She absolutely annihilates everything so I’ll see how the compare

Picked mag in the beginning and it helped me get by so much. Top frames 1 Mag 2 (tied): Nidus 2 (tied): Grendel (Pre and Post rework)

Hey potato, what sentinel weapon is on your dethcube?

I slept on Mag for my first couple of years in Warframe,then just decided to give her a go for Mastery points at first, little did i know i was letting myself in for. Fell in love with her kit there and then, and shes been my main BAE ever since. i havent got all the mods or the components that you have Tactical, but what i have got makes going into missions fun. Mag is a very active frame in which you are constantly spamming her abilities to keep control of the areas that you are fighting in. Shield gating was a game changer for me, it meant that Mag could tank with the best of them, as well as great crowd control and scaling damage with Polarize and Magnetic bubble. Admittedly she's not an ideal starter frame as it can take a bit of time to get her up to a decent level of power, but if you stick with her she can hold her own in solo and squad play. Love using her and can always count on Mag for a fun time in missions.😍

After seeing this I should give Mag a try again. When I initially started warframe, I barely had mods so Mag was underwhelming😅. Now I can put together proper or really fun build for her

I remember the old bullet attractor and Javelin nuke build, i have a lot of builds for mag

Firing a nataruk in mag's bubble feels great. If your projectiles have infinite punchthrough, they will persist until the bubble pops.

What´s the sentinel build and weapon?

M8 that topaz blast shard is nuts. I know people who went lvl cap with 1 with octavia, and literally just stand there lol

Hey Tactical Potato, In your fire mage video. When your ember moves theres this cool effect like swirls of orange power, is that an ephemera? skill? Grimiore? Weapon? Could you please tell me what that was?

I was searching for this video last night

i love the silliness of 5 amber cast speed shards on Mag xD it's hilarious how fast you can spam her skills but yeah she is really strong

What build of the 3 were you using in the video? You spoke of mods and power but showing 3. So if you can let me know, i would greatly appreciate it.

FINALLY, JUSTICE FOR MAGGIE!!! She's been my main since I first played on 1/1/2017!

According to DE's statistics, Mag is not very popular beyond starter MR, but the few veteran players who play her play her a LOT. I am one of those players, having mained her from way back in the Shield Polarise days.

I had a moment yesterday where I said to myself, "I think its time to play mag again" after years of not doing so, so this video was quite the welcome surprise!

I love Mag. I got her rather late into the base game, but even though Wu is my go-to for ezpz mission completion, Mag and Saryn and Frost all have a special place in my heart. (NO DE. I'm STILL not forking over the cash for their heirlooms).

Love this build so far, just gotta get more Forma in me sentials. What’s the helm mag is wearing? Pretty badass

I've been waiting a long time for this video.

Hey Potato have you tried a blood alter mag? I have mine set up for that and have loved it for couple months.

I’ve been loving using Excalibur with wrathful advance and my lostvayne Nikana zaw along with violet crit damage shards that just destroys anything and everything in its way

hi which primary or secondry weapon would u reccomend me mag and what build,ty

Havent played in over a year and a half, been thinking of jumping back in. Where is a good place to start? Honestly i know nothing of archon shards or any of that. also is thought you could only subsume one ability onto a frame from Helminth, has that changed? Ever since i started probably 7-8 years ago, Mag has been one of my mains, seeing her in your video kicking ass really makes me wanna play again!

Recently started playing her. She's super fun. I think I still like Nova more, but Mag is a strong second place.

QOTD: Personally I'm a huge fan of playing the support. When I first started playing I b-lined straight for trinity and soon after trinity prime. Lately there are a lot of support options but my two favorites to run with friends are 1) Nourish Styanax to provide infinite energy and overguard to allies and 2) Gloom Banshee as it provides monsterous CC, Healing, and damage to the team within like 25-30m

I play mag as a trapper. 2 and 3 with ensnare and 1 to pull big groups. She cleans in duviri

Could you please let me know what the Sentinels weapon was and the mods for it? You talked about it having blast, but it wasn't shown in the video.

what rifle do you run on your deth sentinel?

Qorvex is one of my favorites currently, I love the brutalist visuals, the chain reaction explosions from his four tickle my simple brain, and he's just SO damn tanky. Though I've picked my Mesa Prime back up as well as just got Volt Prime and I'm loving what I can do with them too, so I'd say those are my current top 3

My next to build frame after my 11th garuda done in one month i hecking addicted with warframe

Hey just wondering if anyone can shed some light on why with this set up, even using mags 4 she won't build over shields it just resets after a blast proc to max shield. Is it a bug with the topas shard?

She was my starter, and every time I see her in random games, she always crushes

The "Level" build you showed off with no Augments at 3:30 is what I've been running on my regular Mag, the difference being Equilibrium squeezed in there and no Vitality or Redirection (though they should be lol). Also no potato or forma! Just Steel Charge for the capacity boost. Threw the Zenurik Lens on her I got from War Within and running 1-4 Sanctuary Onslaught is a quick way to get some early focus leveling in if you don't get paired up with a nuker like Mirage or Saryn. Bullet jump + hold aim glide and pressing 4 to get the most amount of enemies crushed can get some silly results. Pair that with her 3 to strip then crush if you have the energy and you'll be carrying for your teammates instead. At 5+ if you don't have any squadmates to carry you its not worth jumping into, but 1-4 gives good xp and decent focus for how early you can finish New Strange and War Within. Even if you aren't going for Focus, just the leveling xp (with no booster even) is crazy.

Dude Squshi/underrated, I don't know. I've used Mag in Kuva Survival Steel Path for 2-3 hr runs, she a beast! This was a yr ago, before we got the new shards for buff etc. Personally, Mag is a great Warframe. Just got to know the right set-up per your own play style. Thanks for the video bud, keep it up, and Happy New Year to everyone!

I'm all caught up on quests now (did Whispers this aft), and when I was doing Tempestarii I decided to get Mag back out since she rocks vs Corpus. I've always loved her, but playing her made me miss Shy's Warframe content. I'm still getting used to the shield changes, but she's so powerful. Valkyr is still doing most the grunt work for me, though; there isn't much she can't power her way through, even without leaning on Hysteria (I prefer a War Cry build).

Zephyr Prime. With my trusty Secura Penta. The projectile velocity she gives makes all launcher weapons feel completely different and amazing. Oh and also, she can fly and summon tornadoes.

Mag was my starter frame too and I loved her. The real problem with her wasn't base squishiness, it was the energy economy or lack thereof in the early game. This is one of the biggest early barriers to new players and it really puts a hard stop on the fun space magic fantasy. At this point Warframes should just have a passable base energy regen. New players having to pray for an energy orb before they die is one of the last remnants of a dated game design, and new game content is designed under the assumption that you have at least an R0 Arcane Energize off a clan mate. Even the Duviri mainline quest has energy dispensers so the starter frames aren't as gimped as they were in Vor's quest, so clearly they are aware of the problem.

Excalibur was my starter, then saw that mag could obliterate the whole corpus tileset with her 3, way back when, and started trying her out. Been my favourite ever since. I like her simple design too.

Blood alter mag makes the best use out of most of her ability except the fourth. Honestly over the years - she changed so much that the investment thrown into her is comparable to Mesa.

I slept on mag, went from volt to nezha to garuda as my mains. And i do love those frames, but Mag is my new main, shes perfect for solo grinds and just general gameplay

not mentioned on the topic of Breach Surge subsume: Magnetize and Breach Surge have an infinite damage loop, if enemies inside Magnetize have Breach Surge on them it'll scale up the damage until Magnetize expires or all the enemies die. with a bit of duration it's easy to hit the the integer limit

Yeah, that Topaz shard was a stroke ofTater genius...

I feel like over the years I've gotten to love playing Banshee more and more throughout the years though I know most dropped her off after her. Sound Quake nerfs but I feel like her other abilities make here rather solid as well

I’ve been playing for 8 1/2 years Mag has always been a favorite of some of the new frames I love protea and wisp

Without getting too much into spoilers, we have confirmation of exactly what the deal is Arthur and Aoi is through Albrecht's lore fragments through defeating the Whispers, in addition to the bonus information in the Netracell vaults themselves if you take a look around.

Why Counter Pulse instead of Magnetized Discharged ? any particular reason im not sure if u mentioned it in the vid

yoooooo im a mag starter and still use her a lot. nova star vacuum cleaner mag FTW

Ever since her big rework, I have loved playing this frame. She can kind of do it all, and the fact that she has bonkers interactions with weapons makes for a very entertaining sandbox. And then they buffed her to have full-room armorstrip, which sent her damage through the roof. And then Archon Shards solved her cast speed problems without needing Natural Talent. And then they buffed shield gate, which she specializes in refreshing. And then she basically scales infinitely too if you add in Breach Surge Helminth. Mag was already a strong frame, now she's completely cracked and easily one of the best in the game for Steel Path.

Funny enough, mag is the ONLY STARTER that I would use in steel path without any helminth. Helminth is just extra

I think a lot of the old frames in general are overlooked... But I'd say my favorite of them is Nyx. She has just always scaled to any content with little need to change anything.

try mag bubble plus tenet arca plasmor (headphone users beware) has to be tenet, its the *infinite* body punch through AND the richochet working together that makes it do the funny may also crash your game if you catch too many enemies in your bubble, it's hitting each one 100's of times in a split second afterall

If you haven't tried it yet, look into using Blood Alter (Garuda's ability). The gameplay method is jumping in the air, Pull an enemy and hit them with Blood Alter so they are stuck in the air. AND THEN You hit them with Magnetize, your bubble and just fire. Bubble when you cast on a target has vacuum properties BUT only as long as the target is still there. A lot of the time, the body will be destroyed due to all the damage and such. Blood Alter prevents that. So you pretty much just have a giant vacuum in the middle of the rooms and bam. Free clean ups during Defenses, Survival, whatever it may be. It's by far my favorite setup and I've used it Netracells missions to provide safety for my team while we whittle down all the mobs.

Mag's bubbles + Incarnon Latron is just stupidly good.

Mag was my first Prime Frame, I still own that ORGINAL BUILT frame, she has been up and down and all around great, but she is very Mod depended unfortnally lol

I used to main Mag back in 2014. One of my favorite frames to use at the start. When her abilities changed after her rework, she became a powerhouse, especially when dealing with the Corpus. She ain't bad against the Grineer either.🥃

Mag is one of my favorites. And I do not have any shards or helmiths stuff installed. Just 230 power strength and augment. I guess a basic powerful Mag. It works well for me in Steel Path.

I chose Mag as starter warframe new player people I met says grind for new Warframes but I actually enjoy her and feel no need for a new frame anytime soon and a fondness for melee usage I make it work out 😊

She was my starter almost 10 years ago and while nova has taken over significantly too much of my playtime i will go back to mag regularly and enjoy the magnetize mayhem

Started at game launch with Mag, over the years I've only maxed about 7 other frames all primes then stopped using them, and I still only use Mag whenever I decide to play again 😅

Nyx feels underrated as does Lavos.

what's the cosmetic on her shoulders that's is giving off the wing effect
