One thing i always tell new players is to be very cautious about Rhino. Rhino is too easy to play for his own good and doesn't teach players. - He makes survivability trivial, so players don't learn that Corpus attacks can be dodged but not grineer. - His Buffs are extremely strong, so players start to rely on that instead of learning to mod properly. - He has an emergency stop button with the stomp, so players never get over themselves to just run away from something that would kill them in the next 5 seconds. - He has one of the least punishing Kits and requires no maintenance at all, so it turns people away from higher maintenance frames. I've seen several players who really enjoyed the game look at newbie guides that tell them to use Rhino and then they never played anything else except to level it, because it was too squishy or too high maintenance, only to quit before Sedna since the game was too monotone with only 1 viable frame

Nezha helped me so much to get a ground on the game when I was starting. Huge defense, Status Immunity and default Sure Footed. He has everything to allow new players not to get frustrated while learning all the mechanics.

Zephyr is just such a good frame for new players to get early. She's got almost complete invulnerability to ranged damage for 90% of the star chart, and scales ultra well across all endless modes minus Defecation. And she can also be taken to Steel Path at practically bare bones investment

Quick note about Oberon: Oberon doesn't drop from eximus units anymore. Hasn't for like, two years I think? He's farmed in Railjack now on Earth and Saturn proxima missions. It's unfortunate that he isn't dropped by Eximus anymore-that was a really good early-game credits farm for me, back in the day-but at least he's in Week 5 of the Circuit, so him and Ash can be farmed there for the better alternative. Otherwise, great video!

My opinion, is the one that looks like the most fun. Any frame can be powerful, so go for enjoyment.

Thanks for this! I just got my housemate into the game and this helps a lot for when she is inclined to try new frames!

Unfortunately, Oberon is no longer obtained from Eximus; he was moved to railjack, making him incredibly difficult for new players to obtain without significant assistance.

Good stuff Tater, always appreciate your insight! I think something new players should also understand, is that it is perfectly fine to simply start their own clan if they want as well. If they are anti-social or just shy and would prefer to play the game at their own pace (which I absolutely encourage new players to do), being a "One-Man/Woman-Clan" is a great way to learn the game slowly and not feel any, pressure, I guess for lack of a better word, in trying to keep pace with other veteran players. It's kind of hard to describe, but when you have to do everything yourself, at first, you sort of learn little nuances of the game that eventually enable you to figure out your own playstyle. IMO.

honorable mention goes to wukong. wukong can be obtained from the clan dojo. he will absolutely help you in harder content. armor buffing, spreading damage with his clone and the potential buffs you'll get when he takes fatal damage will help. he can also heal himself with his 2 ability and that will also heal your clone and clear any status effects you may have. it's essentially a get out of jail kind of thing.

Tactical Potato shared his Mag Prime build and I tried it. It is real good, working on getting the shield arcanes and she becomes better the more I add. As for recommended warframes, Wukong and Nezha. Both good frames that will take you to Steelpath, especially Nezha. Wukong is just a bery good all around frame that gets the job done.

The way you say turbulence is like butter in my ears 😅 great video I have a friend getting into the game finally you have great content for new and veteran players!

It's worth recommending new players give Duviri a go. You get a taste of the power fantasy early on, a lot of MR, some amazing melees, and Kullervo is also right there for the taking. I worry a lot of people try to steer new players away from Duviri either because "It's supposed to be played after New War because spoilers *grumble grumble*", or because they have this preconceived notion that new players are tiny babies who have never played a video game before.

Nekros actually no longer requires keys, you can run Lephantis when you get to that node

I think another valuable video I'd love to have as something to link new players is how to mod weapons because I know I did and sometimes still do struggle with the status stuff, as well as how to get the most out of basic mod setups to help make the enemies get ded fast.

Thanks for making this video Could you make one for veterans or on weapons next?

Great vid and info as always Tater. Learned alot through your vides a few year back when i started my journey in WF. Advice I'd give to New Tenno, comlete the star chart. Max ranks in open worlds and enjoy the journey. Pick a frame that looks fun & learn modding. Dont need premo primed mods to be effective 😀👍

Grendel in that opening 😂 A shoutout to always keep your eyes peeled for things like Prime Gaming packages and some of the goofy signup bonuses you can get. I got *massive* mileage out of a free Trinity Prime pack since it came with Vectis and Fang prime, and just the raw power bump was enormous. That said Trinity outright makes for a very nice frame early on, as having built-in energy and health regeneration + survivability helps out not just you but other new players you might end up running with. And more than *anything*, I found new players have a rough time with energy economy until you either get lucky and happen into a few of the early mods like Hunter Adrenaline or get late enough to unlock some of the busted stuff, so having Energy Vampire lets you actually make pretty regular use of your abilities.

Agreed on the list! If you're a new player and you've done the Duviri quest and Mesa shows up there DEFINETLY pick her up in that week. Saves a lot of time getting the keys to do her bossfight or begging someone to share their keys with you. And please, DO NOT FARM NIDUS! GET HIM FROM DUVIRI! You'll thank yourself later for that! Other people would argue that you should pick up Harrow there as well but his farm is managable. I chose Mag as a new player. Kinda had a bit energy problems back then but since you get the EQUILIBRIUM Mod now very early on which makes health and energy orbs give you 110% of the other as well, energy isn't that big of an issue anymore. And she's had some amazing QoL regarding her 1 which now pulls enemies in a vortex right in front of you instead of ragdoling them behind you which makes it really easy to kill them with a melee weapon. Even though Equinox is a pain to farm I highly recommend picking her up since she can be an amazing support frame which can heal you, give shields and overshields and refill your shields and health to full if enough damage is accumulated with her 4 in night form (don't worry about builds with form switching that keep her 4 active for now, night form is very good at what it has to offer [healing, shielding, sleeping, damage reduction] - saved some levelling on Sedna from being a wipe in the past and yes that can happen when full squad is relatively new to the game and e.g. a speed Nova speeds up everything nonstop even if the damage output of your squad isn't enough) Gara is also a Frame which you can obtain really early on and she's awesome. High defense, high damage output. If you pair her with a melee weapon you feel comfortable with, she's amazing just stay away from nullifier bubbles! Another thing I'd like to mention is that when you have a Slow Nova and for example the Soma rifle the Lephantis kill for Nekros is very doable as a solo player. You just have to watch out for Lephantis' attacks and you're good - also no keys needed, just like any other boss mission. Another pretty easy to get Warframe is Hydroid and he's an awesome one at that! If you're up to the point that you can do his Boss fight on Earth (I think it was Vey Hek) it should be doable for you. Also do your spy missions on the different Tiers of planets to gather up the parts for Ivara. Nice drops that also come while farming for her would be some Cold 60/60 mods which come in handy later on. All these points mentioned above are from a Solo player. I farmed it all by myself - I even built a Clan Dojo solo in the beginning of my Warframe journey. Try to farm and understand the bosses and their mechanics solo first. Learn how they work, how they can be killed with different Frames/Weapons to get a feel for what you're capable of is the most important advise I could give any new player. And don't be as stupid as I was and build a Dojo by yourself without help. It takes very long if you work a full time job like myself and it costs materials on mass. Spare yourself tha hassle and join one if you can.

Rhino Mesa Wisp are my top 3 frames, monkey king and then dealers choice for the 5th.

When I swapped from console to pc, a completely new account. I just invested in Excalibur, ran the entire star chart, most of the story missions with just Excalibur. Got mods and put many forma into him. I just used Excalibur for the about 70-100 hours lol. Though I had already played a lot on console and knew what I was doing. I eventually went through and got all the frames since then, but it was fun. Most new players don't realize pretty much any frame can be good with the right build and if you know which weapons to get early on that can run any content can help to.

After more than 3000 hours and about 60% of those hours being on either gara or her prime, I would say she is more than pretty good. I even made a build which uses 0 forma but still kills steal path. My best advice for new players looking to use gara though would be to pick up all of her augments from steel meridian as soon as possible or ask someone if they can give them to you. After that spend a little bit of time looking through her abilities and at guides showcasing how she works. One thing ALL of these guides seem to lack however is and mention of armour on gara. It’s strange because stacking both armour and her 2nd damage reduction is stupid powerful in all the right ways. Combine that with a larger health pool and both shattered storm augment and mending splinters augment and you are virtually immortal.

If Oberon hadn't been moved to Railjack I would heavily recommend it, his first skill inflicts radiation and deals damage based on targets % hp, 2nd skill removes debuffs and inflicts radiation and some damage, 3rd skill heals, 4th skill deals AOE damage, rad and blind. Radiation is very cool because it makes enemies fight each other taking the pressure from you but then Oberon skills interact between themselves that helps new players understand the combos between skills. If you have renewal on and you step on hollowed ground you get an armor boost, if enemies are in hallowed ground and you cast reckoning it strips their armor, Smite works wonderfully against enemies without armor due to it's % damage. The guy is jack of all trades that has a kit that is suitable for many situations and a good starting point for newer players that also scales well into endgame content. IMO I think he should be one of the starting frames.

3:20 whoa! thats big QoL on frame-farm Ash, Harrow, Nidus etc are now so easy to farm, its very good

15:00 Kullervo with Azothane, if you want to double down on him, since you can farm both in Duviri; Protea and Mag can do anything you want them to do; Gara and Nova can help you defend point, if you're struggling wit that. I'd tell myself to farm Corrupted mods for Mag, to be honest. She's incredible, and with a few Corrupted mods, she's ready to even tackle Steel Path! If I must tell myself to pick a Frame instead of farming those mods, I think I'd go for Gara. I love Gara, and she's amazing!

Loki is one I recommend to friends to try get early when they start playing. Stealth just seems to help so much when they are learning the ropes of the game.

I have a homie whos getting into warframe and since i find Tac's vids to be fun and honestly ez to follow, following this channel has helped me git gud and ive been playing for years lol

For Nova, i ALWAYS try to run with neutral speed (70% power strength) in public because it's just the safest way to not get complaints from other randoms. The only problem is when someone has an aura or ability that increases power strength for others like Growing Power/Power Donation, Equinox (Day Form), and Nidus.

I would honestly say Mag is actually the better starter frame than Excal. While Mag is a little less tanky, you also have access to a shield restore with her 3 and you can easily cheese the junction fights with her second ability. The only Junction fight I had issue, per say with was the Sedna junction because the Saryn specter got off a toxin proc a could times and it was enough to kill my frame before I had a chance to kill it. One thing I will pass along to newer players(slight spoilers) that are going through the Star Chart and progressing the quests, DON'T DO THE CHAINS OF HARROW QUEST WITH THE MOTE AMP! I'm currently doing a new account play through because my son wants to play together and that quest was pure pain. I was fine up until the last part of the quest where you have to kill with the amp, base unguilded Mote amp honestly shouldn't exist in the game. While I was able to get through it eventually it took far longer and was far harder than it had any right to be.

Agreed about Nekros. hes a must have for every player due to his 3 paired with its augment mod, which you can get by buying from syndicates or trading with others (have to be MR2 and have 2fa turned on to trade) Personally, I would also say Harrow, as long as you can remember what all the buffs do and which abilities give which buff Nyx, makes single enemy fight for you. better version of Excal's javelin and can confuse to make whole groups of enemies fight each other (differs from the first bit I mentioned cos they can still damage you). with some duration and efficiency her 4 lasts ages and stops almost all damage and lets it out as a burst after, great for mobile defence or normal defence missions Oberon (though I dont know where he drops anymore), gives armour, health regen and has both area and focused damage abilities, also buffs your pets survival stats once you get one Trinity (but only if solo or before unlocking focus schools), THE support frame. gives health, energy, full shield and health restores. revives others faster and can get a decent amount of damage reduction to keep herself alive while still providing the health, shield and energy to others and finally. Ember, just because we all want to see the world burn and she does exactly that

Definitively Zephyr, amazing mobility, great defense ability to protect her, teammates and objectives, great crowd control and damage potential. Highly underestimated, her Turbulence`s augment (JetStream) gives Projectile speed which is very useful for weapons with damage falloff or limited lifespan/range.

one little thing that wasnt mention is that the equilibrum mod is now given to starter players very early on. you'll probably have it before your first 3-5 hours of game play (of course, you have to rank it up) and it's very usefull on many starter and endgame builds

Frost was the first prime I bought. Love that lil fella

I think Voruna is a good choice to aim for, with her new augment she is a huge damage nuker that can easily carry you even through steelpath, and she doesn't need huge investment to accomplish that, even on a budget build she's a monster. For reference with just a decent build, I think it can be min/maxed a bit more, but I like my builds with high efficientcy, which in tern means less damage, any way, with just that she'll deal between 100K-700K Damage, with a guaranteed bleed proc, and that's not even using her 2 which boosts that damage even further.

I've powered through the new content with Ash and Nyx alone 🗿 Granted they're heavily forma'd, have basic archon shards and I included Chroma's elemental ward for added survivability/damage output; surprisingly enough, arcanes are not that necessary

MR21 still rocking with my VOLT. I wonder when will I have the chance to get Volt Prime.

My first warframe other than starter was Gara.... I wanted to be different very badly and ended up mining as a MR3 player

With all the new power strength sources here's a fun option for easy switch Nova. Unlike the old growing power and energy conversion you have precise control of your strength level. Overextended with Zenurik or Madurai and Molt Augmented. With Zenurik it's 30% speed by default, 10% speed with wellspring, 15% slow with augmented, 35% slow with wellspring and augmented. With Madurai you get 30% speed, 10/15% slow or 65% slow. You can shift your range by running a lower rank Overextended to switch from neutral to max slow, or add power donation to switch from max speed to mild slow. You can also just use the strength on demand for your other skills i.e. you want low str M Prime but high str Nourish for more energy gain.

The one thing about frames that I would tell new players is to not worry about prime warframes as they are a marginal upgrade at best.

My son started over Christmas on his switch. He went Excalibur, rhino, revenant prime, and currently has 4 more in the oven. Little bugger is turning out to be better than his dad. I'm still disappointed he didn't choose mag as his starter though.

Any guides on what to focus on? I’m a returning player last thing I remember doing was unlocking my Tenno. There’s so much stuff to do that I’m lost 😅

speednova is great at netracells (enemies goes faster into the red circle and randoms might end up following them inside the circle)

Volt wukong zephyr rhino wisp. Mainly dojo frames with rhino in for index and wisp for group play. Dojo weapons are great for starting too

I guess my top 5 frames I would recommend for a new and starting players would be 1. Hydroid, after the rework he is extremely good even in early game without the mods, but he also scales well all the way to the end game. Damage? Well you don't have too much of that, he ain't a nuke frame, but he has good utility, CC and is tanky AF. 3rd ability augment even lets you do self healing. Available from the boss on Earth 2. Zephyr, a quite complicated frame that requires kinda specific playstyle to be efficient killer, at least compared to many other frames, but also when you're just running thru star-chart you can sneeze at enemies and they die, and you can do it in peace since your third ability is really great defense mechanic, and in the end-game her DPS and defense will absolutely make her level-cap viable frame in steel path. Available from Tenno lab in dojo 3. Wukong, as this frame gives you the excalibur kind of balance but with vastly different set of abilities. He's tanky, he has a comrade and a big stick that slaps hard and he can just go thru hard spy missions without any issues. Available from tenno lab in dojo. 4. Citrine, as she's yet another frame that can do a lot with very little. You have energy economy solved straight out from your kit, you have tonns of damage and debuffs for enemies, and you are tanky. Farmable from Mars in the mirror defense node. 5.Ember, as she also has very well rounded kit and is pretty easy to obtain for a new player. Unlike the first four I mentioned, she has both good damage and good damage projection, meaning she can take out rooms full of enemies easily. She is arguably harder to play than any of the previous frames I have mentioned, and definitely takes not only a bit more investment to get her going very well (stronger mods and forma) but also more focus to the game, as energy economy on her is harder to manage. She's farmable from the boss on Saturn. I was tempting to put Gyre or Xaku as the final frame on my list, as they also have very good damage and damage projection, Gyre is obtainable far later in the game, while xaku takes a lot more investment to get him going on par with ember. Also as far as obtaining the frames, I did not take the circuit in consideration, and I wanted to mention frames that are rather easy to obtain really early in the game. Hence I omitted to add frames like Grendel on my list.

bit of a correction you mignt need to make, Oberon no longer drops from Eximus units. Realized this when i did a RJ mission and one of his parts dropped and was wondering why I dont have thousands of his BPs now after the change

Nidus/Nidus Prime and or Nekros - both fairly easy to get and are a awesome to play!

It’s a good omen for times to come in Warframe, when content creators start making a whole bunch of new player vids 😊

I haven’t played in like 2 years maybe more but I I might pick it back up on mobile. My fav frame was Gauss though. Got him first day he dropped and love him

Can a video showing the best Warframe for each mission type. Example extermination=volt, defense=speed nova, capture=wukong, etc.

Can't go wrong with Rhino honestly.

Hydroid. Feels neat to say he's a great frame now. He has great CC, strips armour, has a status immunity & cleanse and with a syndicate mod can enhance your loot. Ive got a basic 0 forma build using equilibrium and hes fantastic across all star chart content. All new players also get equilibrium for free now, so energy economy is more manageable.

If theres ever been a "Who should I get next?" Warframe I reccomend to new players, its Rhino. Simple, Tanky, Tons of damage, Nice subsume when you get there.

Look, I know he’s not the easiest frame to get, but his prime is invaulted and just as good, but Revenant is arguable the best frame for new players. His Mesmer Skin carried me through 97% of star chart and is still my go to for most content. And having built in knock down immunity is just so ridiculously valuable as a new player who doesn’t have primed sure footed, that its impossible to not see the value

Hey tactical whatever happen to chroma? when i last played several years ago you had a lot of love for him. i'm just starting up again thanks to cross save.

Me Personally I have Wukong (because you get Healing, Immunity to lasers on spy missions, Great Mobility and a free companion) The blueprints aren't that expensive. Probably you would take a bit to get the argon crystals, but it's not something that difficult at the beginning. Also I have Revenant, simply because my success rate in missions with him is 100%. I literally never lost with this one 💀Efficiency mods, a little bit of strength and duration and you're good to go, 1st and 2nd and 3rd synergy is good enough to make you almost immortal to the point of being partially afk (go to the bathroom with the game still on and u wont die). If you want you can just nuke them all with the 4th. Beginners warframe I would go with Volt. It's just a better pick for mobility (which is kinda fun), 1st spam (which you can kill them all easily in the low levels), and the shield which increases damage output. But overall, I think Excalibur and Mag are cooler

Can you share the fashion frame for the Rhino in the very beginning of the video? It's quite dope.

Zypher is a sexy early game too with her cant be shot ability and she can fly, so there is that. One of my favs

I did most the star chart with Wukong. Maybe not the best starter frame, but he has good mobility, and extra 3 lives, and free damage with his clone.

As a day 1 player, Nova, Frost, and Mag are all you need. Wisp is fun, Revenant is good, and Protea is descent. But the first 3 I mentioned will clear the whole star map plus steel path. Esp Nova's Tank Build, with Eclipse replacing Wormhole for the damage and defense buff, you'll never die. Been a Nova main since day 1.

I think the best warframe to start is wukong. Fast and tanky, also has twin and still good at late game, where you can change 4th skill to mirage eclipse to deal more damage.

Garuda is incredible for new players. Her 1 provides an invulnerable shield where ever you look, her 2 heals you and stuns an enemy, her 3 generates energy and her 4 deals good area damage. The first enemy you see can give you full health and energy.

Since open world missions are very easily accessible soon after starting the game, garuda and xaku need to be mentioned in the discussion of great new player warframes. Garuda has an excellent, long duration AOE heal ability, a frontal damage blocking ability for great new player survivability, and a good AOE dps ability. It will be tough to cast everything with the lack of new player energy regen options but its great if you can manage the energy. Xaku is also great because you get an ability that both disarms enemies and does DPS that scales with enemy level, plus your 4 which is the only recast ability gives you a good chance to just not take damahe from enemy attacks, both of which are excellent for new players. Both of these are really not much harder than getting gara while being just as potent as gara.

You forgot to chapter it

I got gara prime, sevagoth and stayanax from twitch drops, which one would u recommend for someone who is starting the game ?

Khora! Gotta get that Khora!

What is your Toris build😫 I make the game look 10x more fun man

I wasn't that far along in the game and watching this video for tips and suggestions. So, I see that lots of Frames can be found through Clan Dojo and that you have one. How would one go about joining your clan if I may ask? I'm a solo player and don't like multiplayer much but I want to join a community that will help me to grow in the game.

Titania! Definitely Titania. Upsurge from just using an ability, Dust and Full Moon buffs for safer, stronger combats, Lantern for some decent crowd control, and Razorwing for tense moments! She's a bit of a pain to get with all the plant-scanning, but fully worth it. Garuda's been mentioned a few times, and I'm definitely in agreement that she is a solid frame...But getting her is a *pain* because of Toroids. Ember's another one. Hard to go wrong with the fire-chicken! Ruk is annoying to fight but she's so worth it. Also need to plug my girl Nyx here. She's not as flashy as some of her siblings, but psychic domination has its own strengths and a Manifestation on an early world is easier to fight, so... And finally, Ivara...Especially if you can get her Concentrated Arrow augment. Once you can reliably nail weak points with her Artemis Bow and that augment...It's very satisfying to drop whole rooms with one shot and it really doesn't take much investment. The augment is iffy to get for new players, but...There are ways around that!

Its actually so sad that oberon got moved to railjack, it doesnt make any sense and means hes no longer an early game frame like he was for me. Oberon used to be THE early healer and is useful at all levels. His smite recks shop in the first half of the starchart too. At least hes in circuit.

What are thes shoulders you showed on Nova in the beginning?

I'd recommend Ivara for stealth missions tho earning her is annoying so I'd say Loki is the best starting stealth frame I do like Ash and think he is another good option he's in the same boat as Ivara kind of annoying to obtain and if I had to recommend which one is a better time focus for which one to get after Loki I feel Ivara is better

Hey potatoe, or anyone. What are the attachments on. Garas shoulders in the video?

started playing for a week now and i got all my frost blueprints crafted, now i just gotta wait 3 days🙏

My advice is to just get the frames that look cool to you and seem to fit a niche you don't already have. Duviri provides a very easy way to get many frames that you otherwise wouldn't get til later or until you use platinum (which you shouldn't do because they're expensive, just get the prime)

Forgot Kullervo! At least as an honorable mention, he’s a beast

Weren't keys phased out for Lephantis after the node was moved to Deimos? I'm pretty sure you can run it as many times as you want now as long as you reach it on the star chart.

Nova unfortunately also isn't as welcomed by players if you use a slow build... I had several times where I brought a slowva to the Circuit and people immediately left... And the thing is that I only used my forth ability during voidflood and Excavation.

I think my top 5 beginner choices would be Khora (farming during defense survival interception excavation) Ivara Prime(spy) Titania (rescue assassination) Revenant (quests exterminate exploring) and Mag (absolute beginner)

Octavia was my second one after Excalibur and now I use only Octavia

10+ vet myself i will say. Starter: Excal, he is general a Jack of all trade. When in dojo: wukong, he is the most played warframe, because he is just really strong. First farm: Rhino, good tank and has good CC and the Best buff in the game. Afterwards the frame you want to try. Those 3 and you can survive untill you get all the better mods

One change I would make is Nekros for Hydroid. Hydroid after the remake turns out to be better than nekros as it does corrosive damage from all abilities and with the mod Pilfering Swarm you can have a better farming frame than Nekros. Usually with Nekros I get around 10 Orokin Cells running 20 minutes at Saturn-Titan. But with Hydroid I get somewhat between 15 and 25 with those same 20 minutes in the same place...

I left Warframe the last time that Saryn was literally the most toxic frame in the meta and it's interesting to see she's still holding that spot after all this time.

Bro youre a legend

Volt or Mag for stating frame. Volt gets capture and exterminate missions done faster tho. Join a clan and get Wukong. His cloud ability is good for spy until you get Ivara with her augment mod. Zeph is good if only for early mastery challenges. Nova can solo intercept missions. Khora is easy to get while levelling and is a defence master. She’s also good at survival with her net augment for double drops.

I'd argue Hydroid over Frost. Mag can be used for bubble sheild, while Hydroid incapacitates with his 4 for it's whole duration, where Snowglobe doesnt hinder anything entering it without an augment.

only Nova is on my top 5... Qorvex and Dagath are interesting only because I played Revenant prime for a year. Revenant is still my go to for soloing the 1st time. Vauban Mag really fun to play. Ivara for spy and undetected rivens. Titania for assassination and rescue. Gara for defense riven. Now that I think about it all warframes are basically fun!

rhino, revenant, nekros, khora, and titania. rhino is a very easy to get normal frame. revenant is the tank frame that requires no work. nekros requires alot more work to work but is 1 of 2 farming frames that everyone should have but is also usable and very tanky while not being a farming frame. khora being the other of the 2 farming frames she is very complicated to get fully going but as a normal frame, she doesn need all that just to work and nonprime mods are fine. i would consider her being more of a frame to pick up if you want to be more active than nekros for the farming. she would also teach a new player alot if they are willing to learn. titania is just a heavy ability dps that if you were to invest in does not need any weapons. honorable mention volt, there's a reason people have multiple volt primes, very versatile in many situations. now depending on whats vaulted whos a story frame and etc makes some frames harder to get so if its a new player first month or so id recommend normal rhino, revenant prime, normal nekros or prime if unvaulted, khora prime, and titania prime. the frames i recommend prime are alot easier to get prime and even without trading just playing the game theres a high chance you get these parts in public fissures or get the relics for just playing. my picks range from being very comfy and easy to get to needing more work but teaches you alot if youre willing to go into those frames.

Aa a returning player on a new account i have to say that Citrine is the ultimate new player warframe. The farm sucks but its a fun version of defense. You just have to be lucky with some teammates to join you when youre new. She has unlimited energy. 90% dmg reduction. Her 3 functions like a fully built primer and just murders enemies in the normal starchart. Even disruption demolysts. Health regen. And free red crits if you really need it. But the main thing is that her 3 will do more damage then any weapon you will have for a long time. Also it works through walls.

I feel like new players should have at least a frame that makes each type of mission in the star chart easy: Defense (and variants): Gara or Frost Spy: Wukong, Loki or Ash Farming: Necro, Hydroid or Khora And generalists of their prefered kind for the other missions. Also, they should have an Ignis Prime, making this weapon is a memory most WF players treasure, a hitscan or very long range weapon for open world quests (My favorite is the Acceltra) and a fast slash melee (Orthos prime probably will the the first great one available). Other than that, just make everything you get your hands into and try stuff, you'll need to do that anyway to level up and each person likes diferent gameplay. Thats what so much fun about Warframe, the ammount of toys you can use.

Rhino and Nova wll always be my favorite, I can't choose between them

Here's a strange beginner tip. Do whatever excavation, defence and survival missions you like in order to get relics. Open them up any fissure missions you like. Don't aim to get a specific weapon or frame. Just chill out doing those missions until one one day you suddenly realize have something like Valkyr, Revenant or Hildryn. Once that happens, build that prime frame and start using it.

Personally, I think the best choice for beginner players is Wukong. Its pluses are high survivability, ease of movement and, as a bonus, incredible help in doing spy missions. So I recommend him to new players. I even made a video about it, but it is in Polish, so unfortunately you won't understand it.

The time i crafted prime Revenant i play 99.9% with him.His aoe is insane and with the right mods on him you can spin for ever.I started with Excalibur which i think is the best option since his exalted blade can melt everything even with the worst mods since new players wont have the endo to level up their mods.

Thanks!!

I usually recommend Rhino and Nekros whenever I play with friends who are starting the game. Rhino just carries and Nekros is great for resources (as most of us know already.) So those are my picks for beginners.

New players should go for: Zephyr, Wukong, Rhino, Mag, or Exaclibur the others are good but these 4 are just so much easier to get for new players. Late game: Khora, Gauss, Saryn and Hildryn

1. Ivara 2. Nyx 3. Loki 4. Valkyr 5.Garuda Some of them are a little hard to build but are absolute powerhouses throughout the game. Also i cant forget to mention my Excal singlehandedly carried me from the start of the game to the endgame and in the endgame too. Excalibur is a great pick you cant go wrong with and if u already pickin excal might aswell get him his wife Nyx lol. When it comes to endgame warframes you should definitely get Normal Warframes: 1. Equinox 2. Revenant 3. Octavia 4. Mesa 5. Wisp Primes: 1. Excalibur Umbra 2. Chroma Prime 3. Ember Prime 4. Nyx Prime 5. Wisp Prime My personal favourite Warframes are: 1. Excalibur Umbra 2. Nyx Prime 3. Ivara Prime 4. Wisp Prime 5. Khora Prime

As an 8 year Veteran, I usually recommend players choose whatever Warframe looks or Sounds Coolest. But, if they ask me specifically about recommendations, I always go with Rhino, Nekros, Volt, or Valkyr. To give them a spread of easy to access Warframes who can be used all across the Game. And for their Starter I go with Excalibur because of Nostalgia and my Bias

LR1 here. For newer players I highly recommend getting wukong and revenant. Makes your life easier

Necros, Necros, Necros, Necros, and Necros. You'll need resources. Mag is the best 1st choice. Outside of that you've played about 100 hours of necros now you need to expand your arsenal for money aka Index. There's Limbo, Revenant, Mesa, and probably many more now that make that very easy. Expanding further you'll want a support frame Rhino, Wisp, the chain whippy boy, the goat man. And probably many more by now. Expanding further an open world frame to make those dailies easy. Titania, Zephyr, Volt, Gauss, you get it... after this you'll know your play style and what you like farm frames accordingly. ❤
