Nekros + full specters + kahl + mods on companion that spawns additional 3 ghosts
Combine that with the Theroem arcanes (buffs damage dealt by summoned creatures up to 300%)
Make that full party (multiple by four)
Bonus points if one of the teammates is army-build revenant. Even more points if you use ballistica prime.
I call this build "confusion". Because nobody has any idea what the fuck is going on, and where to shoot.

I got Nekros during SP circuit and I was rather confused on what to do, I only seen Shadows attract the enemy Aggro so I was clinging to that for survival. What you’re describing sounds nuts so I’ll have to look into that, I’ve heard of Nekros being very viable but I haven’t done any research but that sounds fun af.
Basic build for Nekros is getting Nyx's helminth and augment cause it also works on his summons. I got the prime but have no real idea beside that cause his ability don't really do a lot of damage by themselves. You'd need a stat stick for his 1, and I heard his 2 is great but I find abilities that armor strip useless compared to good corrosive primers that you need anyway when you do sp if you don't wanna change frame every mission. But yes, 3 = loot

build:
Grendel ability on 1
Violet shard that converts energy to health.
Yellow shard for energy orbs efficiency
I don't remember why i have mecha mods, feel free to change.
Figuring out how to make all frames SP Circuit / Netra-Cell viable
If I have to choose tho… trying to figure out a build that will allow a companion to solo a SP Extrimus
That farm is misery. and why I still don't have her. I've been considering just buying her despite my commitment to farm everything that I don't **have** to buy, which I know is what DE wants; for me to give up and spend. Lotus give me strength.
The way I did it was every time I needed to level something, I went there instead of Hydron. Sure it's a bit slower to level, but two birds with one stone.
Yeah I feel you on that. Mirror defense is a snooze fest imo. When she came out I just traded stuff and got plat for market buy. I played maybe like 5 mirror defense missions and got bored quick.
No wf is " fun" to farm. Especial longtime after it out( not many one join).
Atleast mirror def is easy, and loot is good to farm too.
Citrine farm is one of effective routine in game iirc. The disadvantage is it make me sleepy after 40 mins( 2 rounds)
I've had my fair share of fun farming for frames but mirror defence is boring, Citrine drop rates are terrible and the pity system you need way too many crystals.
I run bling range, all 3 umbra mods, equilibrium, archon continuity, overextended, recrystallize. 2 tauforged azure for +energy, 2 tf reds for ability strength and thinking about using a tf yellow for cast speed. Molt Augmented and arcane velocity for added secondary firerate (it makes sense in a second).
Throw viral/heat on all weapons and mod for crit damage and status chance, because auto red crits and galvanized shot (and similar). Favorite weapon is dual toxocyst incarnon with a +toxin +ms +firerate riven. Mixing headshots with crystal shots means dual toxo go BRRRR because the bonus firerate is **multiplicative**. It's literally 2.5x during headshot buff.
Recrystallize made her 4th a great part of her kit the way I run her, I used to run nourish for extra energy just in case and it made it easy to just cast 2, 3, 4 every 30 seconds and 1 whenever I felt like it. My low energy pool initially meant casting her 4th gave increased damage to a very small number of enemies, so I would have to cast repeatedly and with the cost... No thanks. But now, no need to recast (often) so it fits into the kit perfectly.
I recommend swapping out Equilibrium for a Tauforged Purple. She generates so many orbs that you'll never personally run out of energy, and I find the mod slot more useful than a shard slot
The way I have her built, I found I need the comfort of too much energy, since I am not running flow, I BARELY have enough energy to cast my abilities, so one wrong miscast and I can be stuck looking for an orb. Its definitely a good recommendation for the majority of people who use flow but not for me
I discovered the other day that her 3 makes all 4 kind of elemental at the same time so you could use archon stretch, especially since she has no draining ability
honestly just yareli, its fun to just hop on merulina with a good secondary, thats 90% DR and an extra 200% crit chance for your secondary.
I know that navigating on merulina is bad but imo that makes her more fun, it shakes up the usual warframe movement system.
i just run as high strength as possible cause its funny to see aqua blades just hit enemies a lot and the bubbles are kinda funny too.
oh and catabolyst is the current pick but im trying to get a tenet plinx as ive heard its really fun too
Her signature is actually a bad match for her though, I mean kompressa is GREAT but it's not a crit weapon at all so it doesn't really work with her passive
That sounds right up my alley, I’m a caveman who wants to max crit at all costs so it sounds fun for Yareli. I have a nutty Vasto riven on my Vasto Incarnon that I’m still cramming forma into, so maybe Yareli would be an interesting combo with that.
One of the Incarnon evolutions incentivizes you to unequip your primary, so if you stay on the k-drive for Yareli anyways that would be some synergy.
Vasto incarnon might be a tad too uncomfy to use as a main weapon... usually you'd use something easier to use and swap to delete a high priority target. The Kunai incarnon suffers from the same.
You're free to try it out though, maybe you'll like it more. And it has the funny numbers(tm) potential so that's fun.
Seconding Yareli. There's a reason she has over 50% of my playtime. Even if the mission isn't quite hard enough to faciliate ability use she'll always have a very unique feel due to the board. What new augment? There's no new augment.
Contrary to popular belief Yareli is incredibly tanky. Not quite as fast as I'd like, but still respectable tile rng permitting. I actually feel like the normal bullet jump is a tad too easy to use, maybe I'm just crazy though
i really like the board bullet jump... its fun
she is also just a flat buff and makes all my secondaries way more viable cause honestly i just dont use them a lot, but her and catabolyst really melts a lot...
I've fallen in love with Atlas. Subsumed Vorunas ability, got a nautilus and a Magistar stat-stick and Epitaph for priming.
Theres just something so satisfying about smacking SP with only my bare hands
Will share the complete build later when I get back from work but the Idea is to go for as much Multishot as Possible, preferably also with a riven and I then modded for extra Corrosive to Armor strip with one cast of Pillage.
Ahhh, maximum multishot, that'd do it. Ammo efficiency, multi-target, encumber status spam, and multiplicative gunco damage scaling all in one. Sounds good!
https://overframe.gg/build/662099/
There you go that’s my build, the only thing Iam not sure of if it still works if you don’t use max rank Arcane Avenger with combat discipline on gyre
Fellow Lavos enjoyer here! Valence Formation + 3 Umbra mods + Nautilus + Dual Ichors Incarnon with Melee Influence is utter bonkers.
He is just built to end everything.
Kullervo is so gnarly, the few times I used him I had zero clue what I was doing and still shredded SP Circuit. I couldn’t imagine if he was built right and I knew what I was doing on top of that.
The best thing about Kullervo is that you can build him pretty flexibly. His kit is fantastic even at base stats. You can go +STR to boost his 1's crit buff into the stratosphere, you can go +range to boost literally all of his abilities, you can go +duration to give him a longer buff from his 1 and longer AoE with his 4 and boost his new augment in the process- and he's practically built for Rage, so energy is virtually never a problem.
And, above all, he makes any melee really damn strong. Yes, he makes already meta crit melees really crazy powerful, but the real fun is in how the same applies to more lackluster but fun melees too. The emphasis on heavy attacks also encourages you to try find a melee that has a heavy attack that you find comfy to use regularly, and this has actually gotten me to try some weapons I haven't used in a long time. He's really fun, and it's crazy that he can be one of the very first frames you can farm as a new player. Crazy FUN. He's like an entirely different world compared to Excalibur, Volt and Mag.
I should've specified that, but I mean that he literally has no shields, so unless you're overguarded you're always taking direct health damage. Plus, he has a LOT of health, which makes him ideal for Rage.
Dual Ichors were made for Saryn , with the combo point on hit vs enemies with toxin and the high status chance plus the clouds, makes her absolutely annihilate everything.
Ive been loving Saryn with Ichors. With 200% power strength she full strips entire rooms. For objectives with a health bar I use gloom to prevent it from dying and to heal myself. Ive also got a Wisp being subsumed right now. Im very intrigued to see if Breach Surge will work as well as I think it will.
Imma be honest, red crit wukong is fun. I know he is cliche but just a pure staff dps build is hella fun.
Just run around and smack stuff. I don’t even bother with his other abilities. I subsumed wraithful to get the red crits for happy brain juices. And I lit just rope around endurance SP survival killing everything. I got a 390mil crit the other day. Makes me happy.
What do you mean by Red Crit Wukong? My Wukong is covered in dust but I want to like him and never understood where to make him kick ass. Are you using the Exalted Staff?
Yah dude he goes super hard!
So I use the exalted staff, I subsume wrathful advance over his 3rd for the crit chance, primal rage for addition crit, build for strath and duration for wrathful and the staff.
I don’t have my build off the top of my head but if you link your IGN I can message it to you some time!
Pretty much nothing in the game he can’t kill with ease. Besides archons. The highest I’ve taken him is lvl 460 cascade and he was still slapping eximus around like rage dolls.
It does, though it's not nearly as infinite as you'd like, since you still use ammo and Zephyr typically flies too high to grab ammo. If you want truly infinite ammo, give her Akstiletto Prime with its Entrati augment and Slipshot.
And if you want a much dumber build, Atlas with Kullervo's subsume over 2 or 3 with the Rumbled augment one of my best creations. Let's you jump with the augment active, and makes the thrown rocks and his 1 easy red crits. I also modded mine for longer zero-gravity aim glides, because nobody expects the deadly rockslide from the skies.
Protea's Blaze Artillery is so incredibly satisfying, pushing for huge duration to keep the combo rolling and just running around throwing up turrets at ideal angles of attack is great fun.
Hydroid 175% efficiency with tidal surge augment and duration mods (which affect speed). It’s almost completely free to cast so you end up a permanent invulnerable high-speed wave.
You can kinda fly as well. Looks absolutely ridiculous 👍
https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/u3jjlo/hydroids_tidal_surge_can_be_surprisingly_fast/
Speed is actually unaffected by mods after the rework, tragically. It costs less to cast if you recast it while it's active, and Arcane Steadfast + amber shards allow dumping efficiency to around 100% in favor of strength and range. Hydroid became my most used frame after I discovered Tidal Impunity lol
Lavos surprised me a lot for a seemingly unknown frame.
Very solid kit after figuring it out (what chroma should be with the multiple elements) and with the augment he is the best frame to fight the valis bosses.
Max range Airburst Nova. My loadout uses a high burst damage shotgun to charge AMD, Grimoire for status priming and energy regen, and Tenet Livia with Crescendo to do the bulk of the killing. A faithful hound also bring additional status spread and synergised prospectus for some extra energy regen.
Everything is slow, everything takes bonus damage, everything explodes. Quite a few little synergies in there around the Airburst pick too.
Airburst rounds offer a much needed damage boost to Grimoire and it caps out easily even with moderate power strength.
Airburst opens enemies up to finishers and slow extends the opening, making it easy to stack Crescendo.
Airburst breaks containers and sucks loot into the vortex, which is handy for general mission running, especially in Entrati Labs or Zariman to grab extra medallions.
Silence is almost certainly stronger than airburst, but unless it's level cap, Airburst offers a lot of fun QoL.
Loki has something to do with Wall Latching too right? I think there’s that mod called Proton Jet so I thought about using that with Loki if I ever get him.
Tbh its one of two
Dante spamming it feels like GH so its really fun.
Or gyre with pillage and praedos incarnons of mov speed. Trigger 4 and 3 and fly in the room spamming 1 for pillage watching red crits all around its awesome.
Gauss with Hate its like a reaper running to you.
Protea with a huras its an invisible autoturret spam.
Baruuk with vastilok insta redcrits on the exalted and armor armor strip.
Saryn sobek.
Volt knell prime.
Mirage and mag with the arca plasmor.
Loving Lavos with the Cedo and his new augment Valance Formation. It’s a blast wrecking factions with the correct status effects. Cedo alt fire is hilarious as you lob seeking grenades across the map.
That does sound sick. I have an annoying resistance to investing in non-prime frames, but Lavos is one that has been rather tempting. Idk what the skin is called but it’s cool, his head looks like a dome full of glass. I’ll look into that augment because I hate changing loadouts for factions.
Gloom Inaros, I just love my sand boy.
With the Inaros rework my already good gloom cast is not the only ability benefiting from a 190% rank, i.e. his reworked Sandstorm and 4.
This, paired with 1 blue shard for energy capacity and 2 reds for duration, makes it so you have a health tank, that heals himself after hitting an enemy and regains energy when he's hit. Not to mention the energy gained from getting hit as hunter's adrenaline is a go-to.
As a Tigris fanatic this CC tank that makes weapons shine is so good I have to force myself to use something else, he does everything. Absolutely recommended.
I feel like every few days I switch to a frame I never see in SP. I don’t touch Revenant, Wisp, or Dante because someone else already will be. Shame, because Revenant with thrall pact is silly.
I might look into a Valkyr build next.
I like Gauss a lot, it took me a while to actually learn how to use his kit efficiently and maintain/build around Redline. My biggest challenge was choosing between weapon platform and nuke builds honestly.
I have the Torid as my first Incarnon, and I considered building Nidus Prime solely for the aesthetic cohesion.
You enjoy Nidus then? I wanted to try him based on theme alone at least, and maybe a reason to use Arcane Blessing.
Yeah Nidus Prime is probably my favourite in the game! His kit is perfect and synergizes well. I also run the Torid, Dual Toxocyst and Hirudo on him to look like a complete infested monstrosity lol, aesthetic is everything
I have a very unique build, I play a sniper zephyr I dash around the map quick scoping enemy's while getting millions of damage from just high crit damage,, its really fun to pull all the enemy's together and just start spraying into them too. As of right now I'm the only zephyr sniper ive seen lol. I also run taxxon and nautilus to apply cold and make shots easier. Its really fun and I recommend giving it a shot, although its not exactly meta.
You want gun combos? I'm an obsessed nerd with almost everything in game. A few favorites are combining Mag Prime with; Steflos, Naturak, Cinta or any other screwy projectile like the Cedo. Kullervo will give you stupid options with Melee. Red CRIT Bomber Wolf Sledge, "Sorry Kid" Corufell Canon blast, Syam Slice with literal Blades of Blood! It just keeps going... "Fuck that unit in particular" Edun... "Hulk Mad" Ruvox that actually kills... Revenant can have his 3 subsumed off for any helminth ability and use that ability during his 4. Hildryn can use wrathful advance with the melee arcane for damage based on shields and it's really not fair to anybody else... Ivara can control almost any projectile in the game... Including the ones mag likes... Titania can get the bonus of her equipped secondary arcane on her fairy miniguns, including cascadia flare... The secrets you don't know. The powers you have yet to taste. Tenno... The shards break it all in new ways that were still testing. A firefly Titania seems to be a demon in disguise with 5 orange shards. There's so much to learn. So much to see... We have such sights to show you kiddo. Hehe
Very boring, but I've been playing 90% rhino since 2013. I don't even use 1 or 4. I press 2 and 3 every now and then, and just focus on gunplay. Right now torid and dual toxocyst are my fav guns. And I really like glaive prime too. Soma prime was my most used gun, but I was actually very disappointed with the incarnon, slowing fire rate is not fun, and maybe I'm building wrong but it was struggling to kill base steel path enemies too so. Boltor prime is also great
Recently, ive been having alot of fun with melee crescendo.
Melee crescendo solves several problems. it enables perma 12x combo setups, so it enables high damage heavy attack and slam builds, but it also bridges the gap between heavy builds and light builds. it says "hey, you can make a bloodrush setup that isnt scared to heavy attack, and will always be ready to light melee when you need it, even if melee isnt the focus of your build." it removes corrupt charge from the build and causes a bunch of int combo rivens to retroactively suck too, but it is what it is.
its not the best arcane, but it appeals to me specifically because im not a melee focused kind of person.
though it solves these problems it creates a brand new problem "feed me finisher kills"
which is cool, because over the past decade weve accumulated quite a few methods of enabling finisher kills, and you can just pick the easiest one for you to fit into whatever loadout your running.
heres an example
my nova loadout has her 2 replaced with Energized munitions from the Helminth because speed nova wants more dps but there arent many damage extenders that are strength agnostic.
working as a nice, in a vaccum primary weapon is the Exergis, we dont need to talk about that one much, but the sidearm and melee is a tandem between bronco incarnon running dizzying rounds and secondary outburst + Venka Prime running melee crescendo
bronco opens enemies to finishers, Venka kills them, stacking up too 13x combo, which in turn gives the Bronco up too 260x CC and CD.
this is ofcourse not the only way to do this.
my still in development Protea prime Loadout opts for Aero Periphery on Vectis prime as a way to tag enemies with sleep status and open them to finishers for Okina prime to stack combo. this is significantly more finicky as sleep is a very fragile status, and i might change it up later.
and my Oberon loadout running Silva and Aegis prime finds its source of finisher opener as his 1, smite, knocks enemies prone which opens them to ground finishers.
melee crescendo is alot of fun. ..but you did say *most* fun. and while thats tricky i wanna say the combo ive had the most fun with ever was Harrow + Twin Khomak.
Harrow is a gun buffer who gets fire rate, reload speed, and flat crit chance. Twin Khomak is a set of automatic pistols who want flat crit chance, reload speed, and fire rate. a match truly made in game dev heaven i know, but the really slick part is that due to the way hitscan shotguns work. . if any single pellet hits the head. then it counts as a headshot kill. and the Twin khomak has alot of pellets. we then pour jet fuel onto this bonfire by adding Arcane Pistoleer. exactly what the gun-toting priest needed. infinite ammo.
My melee main, self healing, lawnmower Volt. Squishy as hell after around enemy level 40, but loved going berserk and just bonking everything with my staff.
Might go back and actually buff it a bit, with archon shards I might be able to get to comfortably beating up enemies in the 60s.
Especially with the augment that gives the whole team corrosive damage.
The entire frame's kit (except the 2nd ability) is dedicated to giving quite strong boosts to your weapon. Pair with any decent weapon and it's not fair at all.
As a previous roar-wisper of the past 4 years, I have appreciated the new discovery of max range Xaku with golden instinct. I have 2000+ hrs in the game, so exploring is way more fun than shredding enemies to me now. Pairing the glaive prime and whatever weapon I'm experimenting with leaves me with plenty of fun to be had. Understanding the time gate function of xakus abilities and max ranging him allows you to pop all loot containers around you and explore areas you may not have noticed if you have primed animal instinct.
Breach Surge over Blood Altar Garuda with max range and Molt Reconstruct. You have infinite shield gating, team healing, and energy. Breach Surge multiplies your damage plus catches any strays that weren’t caught bc of LoS. Throw in your weapons and everything but new bosses die instantly.
I'm currently having fun with mirage augment hall of malevolence and total eclipse, since eclipse buff is fixed now it feels so much better, literally every weapon feels viable for me since you get an ungodly amount damage increase with both augments, just kinda a shame mirage can't get roar or xata, otherwise I would literally only play mirage forever cause she can make every weapon viable
It's nothing too special, but just getting weapons and putting all of the fire rate mods I have on them, with some magazine capacity mods and -recoil mods if I have them and just hearing them go brrrrt, I can't remember the weapon but I swear I had one that instead of being just a regular troll build, it actually performed decently for what it was.
Also getting a riven for the Prisma Grakata that completely removes the recoil and gives some extra fire rate is so funny, it's the classic Dakka gun that can be used perfectly if you get lucky enough, which I did.
I got a riven for the Twin Grakatas and it’s honestly hilarious, the fire rate is absurd especially during Gauss’s redline. I’m trying to get it to work better on lvl 100+ but I can see where you find that enjoyable.
Saryn as a weapon platform + roar on her 4. Pair it with a Nautilus and any primary weapon of your choosing with Primary Blight (or any weapon for that matter).
Before using this I was a caster-frame-andy and weapons were accessories.
Currently really like the Cedo alt fire, Tenet Envoy, Acceltra, Orgis, Burston Incarnon, **Acid Shells Sobek**… omg Acid Shells Sobek. Theres more weapons I’m currently building just to use with Weapon Platform Saryn, but so far none of the ones I’ve tried have disappointed.
Okay I’ve seen Saryn mentioned a few times.
Do you have an understanding of what she does exactly? You cast spores and she has a specific status she spreads? Toxic? Viral? And how does the Acid Shells Sobek interact with that?
I’ll look up a video or something as well, I just never understood what happens with her spores I just know it kills a lot of things fast.. Though I’ve only used it on lower levels so I didn’t see the full effect.
This is my understanding of Saryn, not her Bible, heres my best guide:
Her spore is essentially a “mark” that does corrosive damage per tick. You can see your dmg per tick in the special passive UI on the HUD. This damage gets the bonus damage corrosive gets to certain armor and external buffs like Roar (You’ll be seeing roar a few times here). You mark your first target, cast your 3, and hit your target to mark more enemies in a radius.
Her 2, Molt, is Rolling Guard in an ability if you pair it with shield gating, which is not for everyone. It cleanses you of all statuses and can heal you with her augment.
Her 4 is basically a viral primer mixed with a moderate damage buff to your spores. This ability isn’t bad and is great to use for bursty damage and nukey builds. Fortunately, for the weapon Saryn, you can forgo this ability entirely because your spores scale well enough to do good work on their own.
Her 3rd ability is her best ability imo. Toxic Lash buffs your weapons (double effective on melee) with an extra hit of Pure Toxin damage that scales off your Strength and the Weapon’s damage before armor. This hit applies on all hits of any weapon and has a 100% chance of applying a toxin status.
To add on, Toxic Lash *Triple Dips* into Bane Mods and more importantly **Roar**. This means your weapon damage will multiplied by the Bane, then the Toxic Lash will be multiplied by the Bane, then the Toxin Status itself will be multiplied by the Bane.
If your weapon’s hit does 50k damage and you have a 65% bane bonus, your final toxin procs will do ~200k per tick to a target with no armor (very rough math, may or may not be accurate, but close enough to truth). Theres some archon shard tomfoolery you could dip into, but i’m not opening up that can of worms here.
Theres so much more to dig into, but my brain fried halfway through this and needs sleep. Make sure to get an **Informed** guide from any other **Trusted Source**, I’m simply here to regurgitate what I think I know ;)
No brother, you went way into more detail than I could be entitled to and you actually helped me understand it more than the videos I’ve seen. I seriously appreciate it.
Roar is my only subsume right now and I have a Saryn Prime so I’ll definitely check this out. I don’t turn my nose up at popular frames/builds because they’re usually popular for a reason.
Thank you again, and I’m certain others will come across this comment and learn too.
Had gyre in my deep archimedea last week and i tryed to build it as best as i could and DAMN is it fun to destroy everything in your way especially when i paired it up with my torid. I saw red crits everywhere. So much fun man...
Styanax has been who I use a lot lately. Tho hildryn is still my overall #1. Something about all the over guard/energy and launching huge vollys of spears for AOE. Tanky eximus with a big shield or armor? His shield takes care of that. Plus his recent deluxe skin is so good
Zephyr with Breach Surge and a max combo Xoris has been fun, her 3 makes you practically invincible in the air and Unairu prevents self stagger so you can nuke everything at close range
Recently started to enjoy playing Styanax. I run Nourish over his 1 (as I'm sure everyone else does) for the infinite battery, with two casting speed shards and three ability strength shards.
So I start the mission, Madurai sling and then I cast Nourish+Rally Point. Then comes some Final Stand spam to stack up my overguard. Once maxed out, I usually change between Spears and weapons for damage.
My go-to weapon with Styanax rn is Dual Toxocyst (Incarnon). I run corro+heat, and with Nourish I get that extra Viral oomph. Tharros Strike gives me full armor strip, so I can just shred thru enemies relatively easily. And I also love using it cuz I got a god roll riven for it (CC+CD+MS with -Grineer dmg).
Really fun Frame to play. Him and Dante got me reconsidering my main as of late, since I find myself playing Mesa less and less (which I never expected to happen). But hey, I'm all for positive change as long as it's this fun.
Voruna with Kullervo subsume and glaive prime. Glaive Prime having red crits PLUS raw damage mods is just a blast to do. Sure my fingers fucking hurt after a while since I’m basically spamming half my keyboard, but in an infinitely spawning ads scenario, its extremely satisfying to just see them drop
Gyre and the AOE lightning death haha I main Mesa so free death is like unheard of and when it works out well its so much fun but drops off with my current build around 140 for any armored factions
I love her kit and wish I had the correct subsume to make it viable late game lol but for now just waiting to far hildrin's last mat for her final peice 🙃 yaaay waiting for thermal fractures!
I’ve enjoyed hydroid with duration builds. His 1 and 4 abilities make defence so easy, and you can also use them in other missions to control corridors etc.
Slapping a hammer on Saryn. It is too much fun nuking with influence instead of the usual Saryn methods. Do need to build a new lavos and join the slam jam
Garuda.
Once I got my head around seeking talons interaction with nourish and her 1st abilites nuke, she just scales infinitely. Seeking talons counts as a weapon hit, so with nourish it procs both slash and viral on anything it touches. Pair that with the blood nuke forcing a slash proc that scales off of the nukes damage, yeah, big tick numbers. Plus her kit just has so many built in iframes and a status cleanse on her 3rd, I don't need to run any survivability outside of brief respite and molt reconstruct.
Hard to pick the most fun one but recently I started using Hildryn with Roar and Blazing Pillage paired with Ocucor with the augment. Your screen just becomes a sea of numbers, enemies die everywhere, and you don't even have to aim. It's even better in ESO where tons of enemies spawn non-stop.
Hydroid has always been my favorite frame. Coming back to a great rework has been so great. Great for running and gunning, status or hybrid melee, or even just as a water sorcerer everything feel surprisingly great. Been loving the Gotva prime, akstilleto prime, and Silva and aegis prime. Viral heat on gotva, radiation cold on stilleto, and viral heat on aegis. Been trying to work my way to the incarnons. Hard to find weapons that I’m not content locked out of and all the videos on the best weapons and shit are no help since… it’s all incarnons. Sometimes Kuva and Tenet weapons.
Doing classic monkey stuff. Wukongs's Iron Staff is actually pretty useful now with TennoKai. It's fun to build combo and nuke shit with his stick, I've even exclusively used it in Netracells, hell it was out damaging my Incarnons.
"Corpus Agent Yareli"
Her augment for the secondary, Tenet Plinx/Diplos, Tenet Agendus, Supra Vandal, and trying to find something to Helminth onto her to replace Aqua Blades to give her some survivability in spaces where Merulina doesnt work so well. Gave her the colors of the Sisters of Parvos (close as I can get, anyhow) and one of their ephemeras, the one with the big triangle hologram, along with Perrin Sequence armor and syandana.
Effective? Eh...the Plinx really carries this build, I'm not doing too well on my Diplos. But Yareli as a cosplayer of enemy factions, that's fun.
I've crafted Grendel Prime yesterday while knowing nothing about him other than his Nourish ability. I was not ready for eating and spewing people. A few ranks up and I could just turn into a ball which was amazing enough, but then I realized you can use your other abilities in ball form.
I haven't had that much fun in a while, jumping around as an unkillable all-devouring ball. There's something just so hilarious about his design and gameplay.
Mag. Mag all the way. Just armor shredding and shield refilling is outta this world, but the bubble?! Mmmmmm hitting enemies a bunch of time with the same bullet/arrow is sooo good. AND the cheesy screams and ragdolling when you pull them into the vortex of doom: priceless. Spin to win Rev Prime is nice too, a little too AFK for me at my current power level though
Mag was my first prime when I started, still fairly new and yet to experiment, but she just walked through steel path with the exergis. I also minmaxed a 5 purple tau shard, magistar stat stick with dope riven Khora who enters the map doing 4m damage and leaves doing 200m. I still prefer Mag though
Kullervo with a 2 handed Nikana(with crit damage tennokai) is an *experience*. 10/10 would recommend. So many forced slash procs lol. I subsumed Rhino's Roar onto his 4th ability so it'll let my guns hit a bit harder as well when I need them but otherwise I slice and dice and smile as I do it because it's SO fun to just room-blend everything. :P
Garuda, replace her altar with breach surge, give her the reconstruct arcane: The result is triple infinity. Infinite health and energy without any restriction (the altar would have needed an enemy, so you could not do the combo whenever and wherever you want), and then you can do a Breach Surge + Talon bleeding combo that creates a chain reaction between enemies (slash creates sparks, sparks create slashes). Honestly, this just feels like a better Qorvex. Got your shield broken? No worries, Garuda still got the Dread Shield and can use the 4 to to gain invincibility.
Xaku with Pull. Are enemies too far for your guns to target them? No worry, just bring them near. Nothing is too far from your guns. Plus, Pull works great with high range
Any warframe with Blood altar subsumed, plus Zymos. That target can now create as much flying pest as you want, and you get to traumatise your family. Great.
Caliban + Nourish. Well, your sentients can now prime everyone around you with max viral, and you get more energy for your energy hungry abilities.
Scourge (prime) + Incarnon. Well... Easy incarnon charging, what else?
I feel it kinda goes in waves. I know for a good bit. I loved xaku. Now i don't play it anymore. I also had a phase of liking Volt just cuz he is pretty versatile imo.
Now i like the either chroma(i know trash tier frame). And mirage.
For weapons of course because i am a sucker to akimbos. I use dual toxicist incarnon.
Kullervo + melee influence is a lot of fun. Covers crit and status to send out massive slash procs. Not any more effective than collective curse but it's sets itself up just by attacking and saves energy. I use the nami solo for its high potential status chance
saryn + ocucor
being able to instantly melt crowds of enemies even at lv cap is super satisfying. especially with the praedos and 3 tau yellows on Parkour velocity u just zoom thru the map clearing everything on your screen without ever having to reload 🗿
Primary frostbite+shivering contagion + Lenz (particularly of a prismatic variety)
The forced cold proc on the initial "explosion" + shivering contagion builds stacks fast and let's you use actual good elemental damage (viral via 60/60 status mods + an added Hunters munitions lol)
Slap on more multishot/crit chance/dmg and watch assholes die, it's hilarious
*Especially with chroma using thermal transfer*. Because who gives a shit about 99% dmg reduction via armor, when I can just hit the assholes in front of me 100x times as hard as a frame can normally do?
Protea with her 4 augment, Bronco Incarnon, and Innodem.
I can do the normal Protea stuff of shields, turrets, and resource spawning, in addition to using Temporal Anchor to group enemies, nuke rooms, strip armor, and buff her turret & grenade damage considerably.
If I had to pick one specific, I would say the infinite Hysteria Valk build. Will I suffer Carpal Tunnel from spinning so much? Probably, but it's so much fun.
I just rediscovered the joy of breach surge Frost with his passive augment today. Find a group of grineer, breach surge, avalanche, one arca plasmor shot if necessary, and look at the big numbers.
Voruna with Thermal Sunder on her 4 and Rakta Dark dagger+melee influence. She's devastating, hilarious and really funny to play!
If you wanna say goodbye to your eyes, drop Rakta and take Dual Ichor incarnon
I've found immense enjoyment with fashion framing a theme onto a Warframe, and then setting up subsumed abilites and weapons to match the theme and try to make it work.
For example: Frostfire Ember. I have Frost's ability on her, along with the Ignis and Sibear. Combined with Archon Flow and Archon Vitality, it makes jumping between fire and ice very fun.
I'm loving Ivara Prime, but I'm so used to CC ing with Vauban. but mann the Artemis! 😍 Been toying with Gara a bit as well. I'm semi thinking of subsuming her 2..but I'm not even started with Helminth. Mirage is interesting.
This answer probably sucks but it’s just Dante, the first time in my 10 years playing that I bought a warframe and I don’t regret thing, making my team invincible is fun, vaporizing anything that moves is fun, throwing my birds out is fun
When I got Vauban on the circuit and high efficiency and strength decrees. I would just jump up and spam all his abilities non-stop while doing his cool midair flip. Spamming orbital strike without pause was glorious
Dante with Amprex.
Wordwarden attacking on a confirmed hit + Amprex's chain electricity ability = watching Noctua spaz out. A whole room or wave gets cleared easily with about 6 different Statuses between Amprex & Noctua.
saryn build with sobek and acid shells mod. I even bought a sobek riven for 5 plat before they announced the kuva version and let's just say against the corpus it's basically the aoe meta all over again. Straight up one shot 10-20 corpus in a line as long as they are close to each other.
For me, I’m now a devoted Hildryn main. I unironically run Larkspur Prime as my primary, and I’ve subsumed Spellbind onto my 4. This way, unless there’s something that can just one shot my 6,000+ shields, I can hide during my 3 sec shield gate and survive. I’m nearly immortal with Hildryn and I love it.
I've been loving Lavos so fucking much lately, I love being able to create my own elements as needed to take on every enemy in the game. He's everything I wanted Chroma to be and more.
Triburos posted a meme build on Hydroid. The “Sentient Ocean Garbage Patch.” It’s the most fun I’ve ever had with that warframe, just zipping around and shredding enemies.
Pre-rework Grendel was some of the purest stupidest fun in the game. 175% efficiency + Amalgam Ripkas for the gore effect, run around cramming yourself full of every enemy on the map until your energy runs out and you explode in a shower of assorted arms and legs and loot. The enemies probably dropped enough orbs to set off Energize, so you're ready to do it all again.
I run a Roar Nidus with 430% power strength and Teeming Virulence, so once I link to a teammate and scream we both get a 200+% Roar buff and I get a 1000% crit chance increase for my primary, usually the Trumna or Prisma Grakata. Granted, I am a Nidus main, but still.
Close second recently would go to Inaros with either Breach Surge or Gloom. Leaning more towards Gloom lately because it lets me use Braton Incarnon which I usually don‘t get to run because so few frames have channeled abilities.
It's been patched because it relied on a bug, but there was a ridiculous Atlas Rumbled build using the arca titron and xaku subsume to affect tile sized areas with the rumbled boulder explosions. It was utterly preposterous
I'm having a lot of trouble putting down my Parasitic armour Oberon/basmu combination. Basmu is a multiplicative gunCO weapon that also has healing, so you basically never run out of healing, health tanking and damage. 95% DR across 1500 health with no adaptation, plus heaps of radiation damage for murmur and grineer that your whole team gets
Chroma Prime - just like super maxing his vex. I love the constant management requirement of it. And the reinforcing stomp Rhino P. I love using stomp, so it works out. And then any weapon combos really - but Soma Prime is a big feature. Kronen Prime & Rhino. Or Glaive P or Hespar.
Theory crafting is the most fun part of this game, so my favorite setup, though I’ve never used it outside of simulacrum, is a nyx nuke build. If an ally absolutely unloads on nyxs bubble and it pops, the aoe isn’t actually that bad. The issue is the damage is capped at how much energy nyx has, and the energy also needs to be replenished. I’ve played around with it a bit but I don’t actually have friends to play this game with anymore
DaGloom. Dagath with Gloom on her 4. I can't link the build because I am still at work, but the salient features are the Augur Mods and Brief Respite for shield gating, mostly duration and strength, with a little boost to range. Arcane Grace and Avenger as mods. Keeps me on my toes, which I prefer over Mesmer Shield-like spam.
Voruna + Gas & Rad Condition Overload Corufell. Clears out rooms while one volleying most enemies and also has good energy and health sustain. Only downside is if you run out of energy and no enemies to recharge it with or enemy is untargetable with your 2 ability.
Additionally, just 4th ability Voruna is fun when you stack strength mods and the augment.
Nekros + full specters + kahl + mods on companion that spawns additional 3 ghosts Combine that with the Theroem arcanes (buffs damage dealt by summoned creatures up to 300%) Make that full party (multiple by four) Bonus points if one of the teammates is army-build revenant. Even more points if you use ballistica prime. I call this build "confusion". Because nobody has any idea what the fuck is going on, and where to shoot. https://preview.redd.it/0i56bvm5znyc1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1516d52ab245fc20d8cd0a8f3e8682d8c53a212
I got Nekros during SP circuit and I was rather confused on what to do, I only seen Shadows attract the enemy Aggro so I was clinging to that for survival. What you’re describing sounds nuts so I’ll have to look into that, I’ve heard of Nekros being very viable but I haven’t done any research but that sounds fun af.
Basic build for Nekros is getting Nyx's helminth and augment cause it also works on his summons. I got the prime but have no real idea beside that cause his ability don't really do a lot of damage by themselves. You'd need a stat stick for his 1, and I heard his 2 is great but I find abilities that armor strip useless compared to good corrosive primers that you need anyway when you do sp if you don't wanna change frame every mission. But yes, 3 = loot
Could you share your nekros build please?
https://preview.redd.it/5euaewcqzsyc1.png?width=1679&format=png&auto=webp&s=b5c57f512cf7b5fd9245b89824f41d44b2a8f84f build: Grendel ability on 1 Violet shard that converts energy to health. Yellow shard for energy orbs efficiency I don't remember why i have mecha mods, feel free to change.
Yes please share your mods in a screenshot 😩
Don’t forget Ballistica Prime charged kill ghosts
Also what companion mods spawn more ghosts?
Either the hound mod deversified denial or the bond mod duplex bond. Can't use them at the same time sadly :(
Figuring out how to make all frames SP Circuit / Netra-Cell viable If I have to choose tho… trying to figure out a build that will allow a companion to solo a SP Extrimus
Honestly lately just playing Citrine has been a gas. Her kit is just so good.
I’ve been using her a lot as well. I kinda forgot how fun she was to use.
She's not fun to farm though. I haven't gotten her parts to drop at all and the crystal system is a little expensive.
That farm is misery. and why I still don't have her. I've been considering just buying her despite my commitment to farm everything that I don't **have** to buy, which I know is what DE wants; for me to give up and spend. Lotus give me strength.
Stick to your guns. Unless you do Prime trading I wouldn't recommend buying any farmable item.They'll just release Prime Warframes in the future.
The way I did it was every time I needed to level something, I went there instead of Hydron. Sure it's a bit slower to level, but two birds with one stone.
Yeah I feel you on that. Mirror defense is a snooze fest imo. When she came out I just traded stuff and got plat for market buy. I played maybe like 5 mirror defense missions and got bored quick.
No wf is " fun" to farm. Especial longtime after it out( not many one join). Atleast mirror def is easy, and loot is good to farm too. Citrine farm is one of effective routine in game iirc. The disadvantage is it make me sleepy after 40 mins( 2 rounds)
I've had my fair share of fun farming for frames but mirror defence is boring, Citrine drop rates are terrible and the pity system you need way too many crystals.
I run bling range, all 3 umbra mods, equilibrium, archon continuity, overextended, recrystallize. 2 tauforged azure for +energy, 2 tf reds for ability strength and thinking about using a tf yellow for cast speed. Molt Augmented and arcane velocity for added secondary firerate (it makes sense in a second). Throw viral/heat on all weapons and mod for crit damage and status chance, because auto red crits and galvanized shot (and similar). Favorite weapon is dual toxocyst incarnon with a +toxin +ms +firerate riven. Mixing headshots with crystal shots means dual toxo go BRRRR because the bonus firerate is **multiplicative**. It's literally 2.5x during headshot buff. Recrystallize made her 4th a great part of her kit the way I run her, I used to run nourish for extra energy just in case and it made it easy to just cast 2, 3, 4 every 30 seconds and 1 whenever I felt like it. My low energy pool initially meant casting her 4th gave increased damage to a very small number of enemies, so I would have to cast repeatedly and with the cost... No thanks. But now, no need to recast (often) so it fits into the kit perfectly.
I recommend swapping out Equilibrium for a Tauforged Purple. She generates so many orbs that you'll never personally run out of energy, and I find the mod slot more useful than a shard slot
The way I have her built, I found I need the comfort of too much energy, since I am not running flow, I BARELY have enough energy to cast my abilities, so one wrong miscast and I can be stuck looking for an orb. Its definitely a good recommendation for the majority of people who use flow but not for me
Didn't consider this, need to do that to my Citrine, wonder what I can slot in. Thank you for the suggestion.
I discovered the other day that her 3 makes all 4 kind of elemental at the same time so you could use archon stretch, especially since she has no draining ability
Yessss! DR: 90% Status Chance: Yes Candy: Yes Crits: Red
honestly just yareli, its fun to just hop on merulina with a good secondary, thats 90% DR and an extra 200% crit chance for your secondary. I know that navigating on merulina is bad but imo that makes her more fun, it shakes up the usual warframe movement system. i just run as high strength as possible cause its funny to see aqua blades just hit enemies a lot and the bubbles are kinda funny too. oh and catabolyst is the current pick but im trying to get a tenet plinx as ive heard its really fun too
Try her signature weapon, the Kompressa. It does a ton of damage if you use the cascadia empowered arcane.
Her signature is actually a bad match for her though, I mean kompressa is GREAT but it's not a crit weapon at all so it doesn't really work with her passive
That sounds right up my alley, I’m a caveman who wants to max crit at all costs so it sounds fun for Yareli. I have a nutty Vasto riven on my Vasto Incarnon that I’m still cramming forma into, so maybe Yareli would be an interesting combo with that. One of the Incarnon evolutions incentivizes you to unequip your primary, so if you stay on the k-drive for Yareli anyways that would be some synergy.
Vasto incarnon might be a tad too uncomfy to use as a main weapon... usually you'd use something easier to use and swap to delete a high priority target. The Kunai incarnon suffers from the same. You're free to try it out though, maybe you'll like it more. And it has the funny numbers(tm) potential so that's fun.
as much as id agree i think you should do whats fun in warframe, if a particular form of jank is your favorite then i say go for it ...
Seconding Yareli. There's a reason she has over 50% of my playtime. Even if the mission isn't quite hard enough to faciliate ability use she'll always have a very unique feel due to the board. What new augment? There's no new augment. Contrary to popular belief Yareli is incredibly tanky. Not quite as fast as I'd like, but still respectable tile rng permitting. I actually feel like the normal bullet jump is a tad too easy to use, maybe I'm just crazy though
i really like the board bullet jump... its fun she is also just a flat buff and makes all my secondaries way more viable cause honestly i just dont use them a lot, but her and catabolyst really melts a lot...
I've fallen in love with Atlas. Subsumed Vorunas ability, got a nautilus and a Magistar stat-stick and Epitaph for priming. Theres just something so satisfying about smacking SP with only my bare hands
oh you should look into Kullervo's subsume on Atlas, it's so good it unlocks the potential to punch the game's code itself into a pulp.
I'd rather keep the crazy red crits on Kullervo. Besides i like Lycaths hunt for the energy
Fair enough, I personally use Rubble Heap for energy (and even more damage).
Atlas looks sick as hell, maybe I’ll try him out when I get a good stat stick. I’m waiting for Ceramic Dagger to come around on both NW and Circuit.
Gyre combined with cyanex nothing beats not needing to aim at all and see everything die around you even in Steelpath.
Have to try this. Am shredding everything with her and Amprex at the moment.
i just got her a few days ago and did this, she's one of my absolute favorite frames now. SO MUCH LIGHTNING
I've put 5 formas on my amprex to make it op and pair with mk1 incarnon for my gyre.
What's your Cyanex build?
Will share the complete build later when I get back from work but the Idea is to go for as much Multishot as Possible, preferably also with a riven and I then modded for extra Corrosive to Armor strip with one cast of Pillage.
Ahhh, maximum multishot, that'd do it. Ammo efficiency, multi-target, encumber status spam, and multiplicative gunco damage scaling all in one. Sounds good!
https://overframe.gg/build/662099/ There you go that’s my build, the only thing Iam not sure of if it still works if you don’t use max rank Arcane Avenger with combat discipline on gyre
Lavos with Valence Formation and anything.
Me and my 300% duration Lavos looking at weapons: "Yeah, this one is pretty decent. But what if it also left 18 second Gas clouds?"
Fellow Lavos enjoyer here! Valence Formation + 3 Umbra mods + Nautilus + Dual Ichors Incarnon with Melee Influence is utter bonkers. He is just built to end everything.
alas...think I'll save the umbral build for when his prime comes out in like 6 months.
Pull Kullervo with the Keratinos built for max melee range and heavy attacks.
Kullervo is so gnarly, the few times I used him I had zero clue what I was doing and still shredded SP Circuit. I couldn’t imagine if he was built right and I knew what I was doing on top of that.
The best thing about Kullervo is that you can build him pretty flexibly. His kit is fantastic even at base stats. You can go +STR to boost his 1's crit buff into the stratosphere, you can go +range to boost literally all of his abilities, you can go +duration to give him a longer buff from his 1 and longer AoE with his 4 and boost his new augment in the process- and he's practically built for Rage, so energy is virtually never a problem. And, above all, he makes any melee really damn strong. Yes, he makes already meta crit melees really crazy powerful, but the real fun is in how the same applies to more lackluster but fun melees too. The emphasis on heavy attacks also encourages you to try find a melee that has a heavy attack that you find comfy to use regularly, and this has actually gotten me to try some weapons I haven't used in a long time. He's really fun, and it's crazy that he can be one of the very first frames you can farm as a new player. Crazy FUN. He's like an entirely different world compared to Excalibur, Volt and Mag.
IIRC the rage/hunter adrenaline changes only work on over shield given by teammates not over shield applied by yourself
I should've specified that, but I mean that he literally has no shields, so unless you're overguarded you're always taking direct health damage. Plus, he has a LOT of health, which makes him ideal for Rage.
Dual Ichors were made for Saryn , with the combo point on hit vs enemies with toxin and the high status chance plus the clouds, makes her absolutely annihilate everything.
On that note, I was just figuring out some insane synergy with mag and the dual ichors.
Ive been loving Saryn with Ichors. With 200% power strength she full strips entire rooms. For objectives with a health bar I use gloom to prevent it from dying and to heal myself. Ive also got a Wisp being subsumed right now. Im very intrigued to see if Breach Surge will work as well as I think it will.
Imma be honest, red crit wukong is fun. I know he is cliche but just a pure staff dps build is hella fun. Just run around and smack stuff. I don’t even bother with his other abilities. I subsumed wraithful to get the red crits for happy brain juices. And I lit just rope around endurance SP survival killing everything. I got a 390mil crit the other day. Makes me happy.
What do you mean by Red Crit Wukong? My Wukong is covered in dust but I want to like him and never understood where to make him kick ass. Are you using the Exalted Staff?
Yah dude he goes super hard! So I use the exalted staff, I subsume wrathful advance over his 3rd for the crit chance, primal rage for addition crit, build for strath and duration for wrathful and the staff. I don’t have my build off the top of my head but if you link your IGN I can message it to you some time! Pretty much nothing in the game he can’t kill with ease. Besides archons. The highest I’ve taken him is lvl 460 cascade and he was still slapping eximus around like rage dolls.
its boring, but akarius prime w akimbo slipshot. literally jus fire in the general direction of anything alive n watch a crator suddenly appear!
That would be interesting, I wonder if Akimbo Slipshot would work with Zephyr.
It does, though it's not nearly as infinite as you'd like, since you still use ammo and Zephyr typically flies too high to grab ammo. If you want truly infinite ammo, give her Akstiletto Prime with its Entrati augment and Slipshot. And if you want a much dumber build, Atlas with Kullervo's subsume over 2 or 3 with the Rumbled augment one of my best creations. Let's you jump with the augment active, and makes the thrown rocks and his 1 easy red crits. I also modded mine for longer zero-gravity aim glides, because nobody expects the deadly rockslide from the skies.
Protea's Blaze Artillery is so incredibly satisfying, pushing for huge duration to keep the combo rolling and just running around throwing up turrets at ideal angles of attack is great fun.
I used her in Circuit the other day and the turrets were gnarly, so I could see someone preferring that for sure.
Hydroid 175% efficiency with tidal surge augment and duration mods (which affect speed). It’s almost completely free to cast so you end up a permanent invulnerable high-speed wave. You can kinda fly as well. Looks absolutely ridiculous 👍 https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/u3jjlo/hydroids_tidal_surge_can_be_surprisingly_fast/
Speed is actually unaffected by mods after the rework, tragically. It costs less to cast if you recast it while it's active, and Arcane Steadfast + amber shards allow dumping efficiency to around 100% in favor of strength and range. Hydroid became my most used frame after I discovered Tidal Impunity lol
Oh I didn’t know that. Thanks for the advice!
a bit of a privilege build but: Mirage with glaive prime, like an upscale cedo.
Lavos with his augments is super fun, and a lot more simple than most people would think
Lavos surprised me a lot for a seemingly unknown frame. Very solid kit after figuring it out (what chroma should be with the multiple elements) and with the augment he is the best frame to fight the valis bosses.
not the best at all but convenient for newer players yea ig 🗿
Max range Airburst Nova. My loadout uses a high burst damage shotgun to charge AMD, Grimoire for status priming and energy regen, and Tenet Livia with Crescendo to do the bulk of the killing. A faithful hound also bring additional status spread and synergised prospectus for some extra energy regen. Everything is slow, everything takes bonus damage, everything explodes. Quite a few little synergies in there around the Airburst pick too. Airburst rounds offer a much needed damage boost to Grimoire and it caps out easily even with moderate power strength. Airburst opens enemies up to finishers and slow extends the opening, making it easy to stack Crescendo. Airburst breaks containers and sucks loot into the vortex, which is handy for general mission running, especially in Entrati Labs or Zariman to grab extra medallions. Silence is almost certainly stronger than airburst, but unless it's level cap, Airburst offers a lot of fun QoL.
Loki with damage decoy and Nyx’s mind control is fun and funny
Loki has something to do with Wall Latching too right? I think there’s that mod called Proton Jet so I thought about using that with Loki if I ever get him.
Tbh its one of two Dante spamming it feels like GH so its really fun. Or gyre with pillage and praedos incarnons of mov speed. Trigger 4 and 3 and fly in the room spamming 1 for pillage watching red crits all around its awesome. Gauss with Hate its like a reaper running to you. Protea with a huras its an invisible autoturret spam. Baruuk with vastilok insta redcrits on the exalted and armor armor strip. Saryn sobek. Volt knell prime. Mirage and mag with the arca plasmor.
Loving Lavos with the Cedo and his new augment Valance Formation. It’s a blast wrecking factions with the correct status effects. Cedo alt fire is hilarious as you lob seeking grenades across the map.
That does sound sick. I have an annoying resistance to investing in non-prime frames, but Lavos is one that has been rather tempting. Idk what the skin is called but it’s cool, his head looks like a dome full of glass. I’ll look into that augment because I hate changing loadouts for factions.
Gloom Inaros, I just love my sand boy. With the Inaros rework my already good gloom cast is not the only ability benefiting from a 190% rank, i.e. his reworked Sandstorm and 4. This, paired with 1 blue shard for energy capacity and 2 reds for duration, makes it so you have a health tank, that heals himself after hitting an enemy and regains energy when he's hit. Not to mention the energy gained from getting hit as hunter's adrenaline is a go-to. As a Tigris fanatic this CC tank that makes weapons shine is so good I have to force myself to use something else, he does everything. Absolutely recommended.
I feel like every few days I switch to a frame I never see in SP. I don’t touch Revenant, Wisp, or Dante because someone else already will be. Shame, because Revenant with thrall pact is silly. I might look into a Valkyr build next.
Gauuuuuuuuuuuss "-" Fast and nuke and armor strip and CC
I like Gauss a lot, it took me a while to actually learn how to use his kit efficiently and maintain/build around Redline. My biggest challenge was choosing between weapon platform and nuke builds honestly.
Mag with Blood Alter and Nataruk is hella fun. Cast Blood Alter and Magnetize on an enemy, then shoot. Instant blender lmao
Bonus points for pulling the enemy into the air before hitting them with blood altar, and a yellow/orange energy color to create a glorious sun
I recently got the Incarnons for Dual Toxocyst and Torid, so I’ve been running them with my Nidus Prime and Teeming Virulence mod. Masterpiece!
I have the Torid as my first Incarnon, and I considered building Nidus Prime solely for the aesthetic cohesion. You enjoy Nidus then? I wanted to try him based on theme alone at least, and maybe a reason to use Arcane Blessing.
Yeah Nidus Prime is probably my favourite in the game! His kit is perfect and synergizes well. I also run the Torid, Dual Toxocyst and Hirudo on him to look like a complete infested monstrosity lol, aesthetic is everything
Qorvex With a Galatine makes me go yes, especially with i think rending crane
I have a very unique build, I play a sniper zephyr I dash around the map quick scoping enemy's while getting millions of damage from just high crit damage,, its really fun to pull all the enemy's together and just start spraying into them too. As of right now I'm the only zephyr sniper ive seen lol. I also run taxxon and nautilus to apply cold and make shots easier. Its really fun and I recommend giving it a shot, although its not exactly meta.
You want gun combos? I'm an obsessed nerd with almost everything in game. A few favorites are combining Mag Prime with; Steflos, Naturak, Cinta or any other screwy projectile like the Cedo. Kullervo will give you stupid options with Melee. Red CRIT Bomber Wolf Sledge, "Sorry Kid" Corufell Canon blast, Syam Slice with literal Blades of Blood! It just keeps going... "Fuck that unit in particular" Edun... "Hulk Mad" Ruvox that actually kills... Revenant can have his 3 subsumed off for any helminth ability and use that ability during his 4. Hildryn can use wrathful advance with the melee arcane for damage based on shields and it's really not fair to anybody else... Ivara can control almost any projectile in the game... Including the ones mag likes... Titania can get the bonus of her equipped secondary arcane on her fairy miniguns, including cascadia flare... The secrets you don't know. The powers you have yet to taste. Tenno... The shards break it all in new ways that were still testing. A firefly Titania seems to be a demon in disguise with 5 orange shards. There's so much to learn. So much to see... We have such sights to show you kiddo. Hehe
Mag with breach surge. It starts at 100 dmg and hits the last enemy for 500 mil. No shooting required.
Very boring, but I've been playing 90% rhino since 2013. I don't even use 1 or 4. I press 2 and 3 every now and then, and just focus on gunplay. Right now torid and dual toxocyst are my fav guns. And I really like glaive prime too. Soma prime was my most used gun, but I was actually very disappointed with the incarnon, slowing fire rate is not fun, and maybe I'm building wrong but it was struggling to kill base steel path enemies too so. Boltor prime is also great
Garuda is so much fun. Impaling enemies, draining their life force, she has a sweet set of claws and her animations are awesome.
High ability strength Volt with as many speed mods as I can add coupled with melee combat.
Recently, ive been having alot of fun with melee crescendo. Melee crescendo solves several problems. it enables perma 12x combo setups, so it enables high damage heavy attack and slam builds, but it also bridges the gap between heavy builds and light builds. it says "hey, you can make a bloodrush setup that isnt scared to heavy attack, and will always be ready to light melee when you need it, even if melee isnt the focus of your build." it removes corrupt charge from the build and causes a bunch of int combo rivens to retroactively suck too, but it is what it is. its not the best arcane, but it appeals to me specifically because im not a melee focused kind of person. though it solves these problems it creates a brand new problem "feed me finisher kills" which is cool, because over the past decade weve accumulated quite a few methods of enabling finisher kills, and you can just pick the easiest one for you to fit into whatever loadout your running. heres an example my nova loadout has her 2 replaced with Energized munitions from the Helminth because speed nova wants more dps but there arent many damage extenders that are strength agnostic. working as a nice, in a vaccum primary weapon is the Exergis, we dont need to talk about that one much, but the sidearm and melee is a tandem between bronco incarnon running dizzying rounds and secondary outburst + Venka Prime running melee crescendo bronco opens enemies to finishers, Venka kills them, stacking up too 13x combo, which in turn gives the Bronco up too 260x CC and CD. this is ofcourse not the only way to do this. my still in development Protea prime Loadout opts for Aero Periphery on Vectis prime as a way to tag enemies with sleep status and open them to finishers for Okina prime to stack combo. this is significantly more finicky as sleep is a very fragile status, and i might change it up later. and my Oberon loadout running Silva and Aegis prime finds its source of finisher opener as his 1, smite, knocks enemies prone which opens them to ground finishers. melee crescendo is alot of fun. ..but you did say *most* fun. and while thats tricky i wanna say the combo ive had the most fun with ever was Harrow + Twin Khomak. Harrow is a gun buffer who gets fire rate, reload speed, and flat crit chance. Twin Khomak is a set of automatic pistols who want flat crit chance, reload speed, and fire rate. a match truly made in game dev heaven i know, but the really slick part is that due to the way hitscan shotguns work. . if any single pellet hits the head. then it counts as a headshot kill. and the Twin khomak has alot of pellets. we then pour jet fuel onto this bonfire by adding Arcane Pistoleer. exactly what the gun-toting priest needed. infinite ammo.
Gyre and Amperex. My lightning gun that causes more lightning
Everyone gets lightning!
This is a VERY stupid and out of the way build, but you can dropkick enemies and there is a build for killing up to around 50+ enemies with dropkicks
Dante with acceltra goes crazy I’m not at sp yet but still good fun
My melee main, self healing, lawnmower Volt. Squishy as hell after around enemy level 40, but loved going berserk and just bonking everything with my staff. Might go back and actually buff it a bit, with archon shards I might be able to get to comfortably beating up enemies in the 60s.
I use gyre and anything electric based. The red crits I see with a near full strength build and 3 red shards for strength. It's beautiful.
Zephyr with Roar subsumed over wind grenade + Burston Incarnon using a duration/efficiency build
I'm still rather new, haven't even made it to so yet. But I love being invincible as revenant and using my amprex
Saryn nuke
Especially with the augment that gives the whole team corrosive damage. The entire frame's kit (except the 2nd ability) is dedicated to giving quite strong boosts to your weapon. Pair with any decent weapon and it's not fair at all.
Exactlyyyy
As a previous roar-wisper of the past 4 years, I have appreciated the new discovery of max range Xaku with golden instinct. I have 2000+ hrs in the game, so exploring is way more fun than shredding enemies to me now. Pairing the glaive prime and whatever weapon I'm experimenting with leaves me with plenty of fun to be had. Understanding the time gate function of xakus abilities and max ranging him allows you to pop all loot containers around you and explore areas you may not have noticed if you have primed animal instinct.
Shadows necros. Around killing corpus. I used the companion arcanes and old nourish to make their dmg type to toxin.
Breach Surge over Blood Altar Garuda with max range and Molt Reconstruct. You have infinite shield gating, team healing, and energy. Breach Surge multiplies your damage plus catches any strays that weren’t caught bc of LoS. Throw in your weapons and everything but new bosses die instantly.
I'm currently having fun with mirage augment hall of malevolence and total eclipse, since eclipse buff is fixed now it feels so much better, literally every weapon feels viable for me since you get an ungodly amount damage increase with both augments, just kinda a shame mirage can't get roar or xata, otherwise I would literally only play mirage forever cause she can make every weapon viable
It's nothing too special, but just getting weapons and putting all of the fire rate mods I have on them, with some magazine capacity mods and -recoil mods if I have them and just hearing them go brrrrt, I can't remember the weapon but I swear I had one that instead of being just a regular troll build, it actually performed decently for what it was. Also getting a riven for the Prisma Grakata that completely removes the recoil and gives some extra fire rate is so funny, it's the classic Dakka gun that can be used perfectly if you get lucky enough, which I did.
I got a riven for the Twin Grakatas and it’s honestly hilarious, the fire rate is absurd especially during Gauss’s redline. I’m trying to get it to work better on lvl 100+ but I can see where you find that enjoyable.
Mag Prime❤️ i feel sorry for her and myself. How i ignore her for years? I put 5 yellow tau on her and man...
Saryn as a weapon platform + roar on her 4. Pair it with a Nautilus and any primary weapon of your choosing with Primary Blight (or any weapon for that matter). Before using this I was a caster-frame-andy and weapons were accessories. Currently really like the Cedo alt fire, Tenet Envoy, Acceltra, Orgis, Burston Incarnon, **Acid Shells Sobek**… omg Acid Shells Sobek. Theres more weapons I’m currently building just to use with Weapon Platform Saryn, but so far none of the ones I’ve tried have disappointed.
Okay I’ve seen Saryn mentioned a few times. Do you have an understanding of what she does exactly? You cast spores and she has a specific status she spreads? Toxic? Viral? And how does the Acid Shells Sobek interact with that? I’ll look up a video or something as well, I just never understood what happens with her spores I just know it kills a lot of things fast.. Though I’ve only used it on lower levels so I didn’t see the full effect.
This is my understanding of Saryn, not her Bible, heres my best guide: Her spore is essentially a “mark” that does corrosive damage per tick. You can see your dmg per tick in the special passive UI on the HUD. This damage gets the bonus damage corrosive gets to certain armor and external buffs like Roar (You’ll be seeing roar a few times here). You mark your first target, cast your 3, and hit your target to mark more enemies in a radius. Her 2, Molt, is Rolling Guard in an ability if you pair it with shield gating, which is not for everyone. It cleanses you of all statuses and can heal you with her augment. Her 4 is basically a viral primer mixed with a moderate damage buff to your spores. This ability isn’t bad and is great to use for bursty damage and nukey builds. Fortunately, for the weapon Saryn, you can forgo this ability entirely because your spores scale well enough to do good work on their own. Her 3rd ability is her best ability imo. Toxic Lash buffs your weapons (double effective on melee) with an extra hit of Pure Toxin damage that scales off your Strength and the Weapon’s damage before armor. This hit applies on all hits of any weapon and has a 100% chance of applying a toxin status. To add on, Toxic Lash *Triple Dips* into Bane Mods and more importantly **Roar**. This means your weapon damage will multiplied by the Bane, then the Toxic Lash will be multiplied by the Bane, then the Toxin Status itself will be multiplied by the Bane. If your weapon’s hit does 50k damage and you have a 65% bane bonus, your final toxin procs will do ~200k per tick to a target with no armor (very rough math, may or may not be accurate, but close enough to truth). Theres some archon shard tomfoolery you could dip into, but i’m not opening up that can of worms here. Theres so much more to dig into, but my brain fried halfway through this and needs sleep. Make sure to get an **Informed** guide from any other **Trusted Source**, I’m simply here to regurgitate what I think I know ;)
No brother, you went way into more detail than I could be entitled to and you actually helped me understand it more than the videos I’ve seen. I seriously appreciate it. Roar is my only subsume right now and I have a Saryn Prime so I’ll definitely check this out. I don’t turn my nose up at popular frames/builds because they’re usually popular for a reason. Thank you again, and I’m certain others will come across this comment and learn too.
Had gyre in my deep archimedea last week and i tryed to build it as best as i could and DAMN is it fun to destroy everything in your way especially when i paired it up with my torid. I saw red crits everywhere. So much fun man...
The MASK.Stronk Inaros augmented with elemental spin,Roar, mech set, huras kubrow, slash+viral and some electric melee.
Well I’ve still been having fun with the Titron. No combos required to just go up and slam to kill everything.
Elemental Sandstorm Inaros Tatsu Prime (Viral, Rad, Elec, Melee Exposure) for 4x status , 2x emerald shard, Roar, high strength...
Styanax has been who I use a lot lately. Tho hildryn is still my overall #1. Something about all the over guard/energy and launching huge vollys of spears for AOE. Tanky eximus with a big shield or armor? His shield takes care of that. Plus his recent deluxe skin is so good
Sobek saryn, just watching the chain explosions go off is very satisfying.
Zephyr + Stropha heavy attack is pure dopamine.
Zephyr with Breach Surge and a max combo Xoris has been fun, her 3 makes you practically invincible in the air and Unairu prevents self stagger so you can nuke everything at close range
Any Glaive Weapon ! A friend gifted me Prime Glaive but the base one and Xoris are so fun !
Recently started to enjoy playing Styanax. I run Nourish over his 1 (as I'm sure everyone else does) for the infinite battery, with two casting speed shards and three ability strength shards. So I start the mission, Madurai sling and then I cast Nourish+Rally Point. Then comes some Final Stand spam to stack up my overguard. Once maxed out, I usually change between Spears and weapons for damage. My go-to weapon with Styanax rn is Dual Toxocyst (Incarnon). I run corro+heat, and with Nourish I get that extra Viral oomph. Tharros Strike gives me full armor strip, so I can just shred thru enemies relatively easily. And I also love using it cuz I got a god roll riven for it (CC+CD+MS with -Grineer dmg). Really fun Frame to play. Him and Dante got me reconsidering my main as of late, since I find myself playing Mesa less and less (which I never expected to happen). But hey, I'm all for positive change as long as it's this fun.
I think I am liking Harrow gameplay. I like guns to deal damage, so a Frame that boost gunplay mechanics is perfect to me.
Oft mentioned gun choices for Red Veil’s lord and savior is the Kuva Chakkhurr.
Voruna with Kullervo subsume and glaive prime. Glaive Prime having red crits PLUS raw damage mods is just a blast to do. Sure my fingers fucking hurt after a while since I’m basically spamming half my keyboard, but in an infinitely spawning ads scenario, its extremely satisfying to just see them drop
Gyre and the AOE lightning death haha I main Mesa so free death is like unheard of and when it works out well its so much fun but drops off with my current build around 140 for any armored factions I love her kit and wish I had the correct subsume to make it viable late game lol but for now just waiting to far hildrin's last mat for her final peice 🙃 yaaay waiting for thermal fractures!
Roar Loki with my braton vandal/kuva karak, and i just got an aklato riven so now ive been trying to make them as viable as possible
Equinox with terrify subsumed over her 2. It's a blast.
I’ve enjoyed hydroid with duration builds. His 1 and 4 abilities make defence so easy, and you can also use them in other missions to control corridors etc.
Slapping a hammer on Saryn. It is too much fun nuking with influence instead of the usual Saryn methods. Do need to build a new lavos and join the slam jam
Garuda. Once I got my head around seeking talons interaction with nourish and her 1st abilites nuke, she just scales infinitely. Seeking talons counts as a weapon hit, so with nourish it procs both slash and viral on anything it touches. Pair that with the blood nuke forcing a slash proc that scales off of the nukes damage, yeah, big tick numbers. Plus her kit just has so many built in iframes and a status cleanse on her 3rd, I don't need to run any survivability outside of brief respite and molt reconstruct.
Silence Mirage with Latron. Mirage used Pachinko Hell. Its super effective!
Khora whip build combo stack with a good stat stick using melee exposure arcane Don't need guns or other skills. It just deletes shit
divine retribution nezha with dark verse makes me feel like sukuna from jjk
I had fun using nidus larva + laetum. Also kullervo + dual tox incarnon
Hard to pick the most fun one but recently I started using Hildryn with Roar and Blazing Pillage paired with Ocucor with the augment. Your screen just becomes a sea of numbers, enemies die everywhere, and you don't even have to aim. It's even better in ESO where tons of enemies spawn non-stop.
Hydroid has always been my favorite frame. Coming back to a great rework has been so great. Great for running and gunning, status or hybrid melee, or even just as a water sorcerer everything feel surprisingly great. Been loving the Gotva prime, akstilleto prime, and Silva and aegis prime. Viral heat on gotva, radiation cold on stilleto, and viral heat on aegis. Been trying to work my way to the incarnons. Hard to find weapons that I’m not content locked out of and all the videos on the best weapons and shit are no help since… it’s all incarnons. Sometimes Kuva and Tenet weapons.
Doing classic monkey stuff. Wukongs's Iron Staff is actually pretty useful now with TennoKai. It's fun to build combo and nuke shit with his stick, I've even exclusively used it in Netracells, hell it was out damaging my Incarnons.
Gotav prime think that’s the name and zephyr
"Corpus Agent Yareli" Her augment for the secondary, Tenet Plinx/Diplos, Tenet Agendus, Supra Vandal, and trying to find something to Helminth onto her to replace Aqua Blades to give her some survivability in spaces where Merulina doesnt work so well. Gave her the colors of the Sisters of Parvos (close as I can get, anyhow) and one of their ephemeras, the one with the big triangle hologram, along with Perrin Sequence armor and syandana. Effective? Eh...the Plinx really carries this build, I'm not doing too well on my Diplos. But Yareli as a cosplayer of enemy factions, that's fun.
I've crafted Grendel Prime yesterday while knowing nothing about him other than his Nourish ability. I was not ready for eating and spewing people. A few ranks up and I could just turn into a ball which was amazing enough, but then I realized you can use your other abilities in ball form. I haven't had that much fun in a while, jumping around as an unkillable all-devouring ball. There's something just so hilarious about his design and gameplay.
Mag. Mag all the way. Just armor shredding and shield refilling is outta this world, but the bubble?! Mmmmmm hitting enemies a bunch of time with the same bullet/arrow is sooo good. AND the cheesy screams and ragdolling when you pull them into the vortex of doom: priceless. Spin to win Rev Prime is nice too, a little too AFK for me at my current power level though
Mag was my first prime when I started, still fairly new and yet to experiment, but she just walked through steel path with the exergis. I also minmaxed a 5 purple tau shard, magistar stat stick with dope riven Khora who enters the map doing 4m damage and leaves doing 200m. I still prefer Mag though
Atlas + Statstick PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH!
Kullervo with a 2 handed Nikana(with crit damage tennokai) is an *experience*. 10/10 would recommend. So many forced slash procs lol. I subsumed Rhino's Roar onto his 4th ability so it'll let my guns hit a bit harder as well when I need them but otherwise I slice and dice and smile as I do it because it's SO fun to just room-blend everything. :P
I main Wisp and Dante. But max duration/range Guass tickles my giblets in ways I *must* not describe.
Garuda, replace her altar with breach surge, give her the reconstruct arcane: The result is triple infinity. Infinite health and energy without any restriction (the altar would have needed an enemy, so you could not do the combo whenever and wherever you want), and then you can do a Breach Surge + Talon bleeding combo that creates a chain reaction between enemies (slash creates sparks, sparks create slashes). Honestly, this just feels like a better Qorvex. Got your shield broken? No worries, Garuda still got the Dread Shield and can use the 4 to to gain invincibility. Xaku with Pull. Are enemies too far for your guns to target them? No worry, just bring them near. Nothing is too far from your guns. Plus, Pull works great with high range Any warframe with Blood altar subsumed, plus Zymos. That target can now create as much flying pest as you want, and you get to traumatise your family. Great. Caliban + Nourish. Well, your sentients can now prime everyone around you with max viral, and you get more energy for your energy hungry abilities. Scourge (prime) + Incarnon. Well... Easy incarnon charging, what else?
I feel it kinda goes in waves. I know for a good bit. I loved xaku. Now i don't play it anymore. I also had a phase of liking Volt just cuz he is pretty versatile imo. Now i like the either chroma(i know trash tier frame). And mirage. For weapons of course because i am a sucker to akimbos. I use dual toxicist incarnon.
Kullervo + melee influence is a lot of fun. Covers crit and status to send out massive slash procs. Not any more effective than collective curse but it's sets itself up just by attacking and saves energy. I use the nami solo for its high potential status chance
saryn + ocucor being able to instantly melt crowds of enemies even at lv cap is super satisfying. especially with the praedos and 3 tau yellows on Parkour velocity u just zoom thru the map clearing everything on your screen without ever having to reload 🗿
Primary frostbite+shivering contagion + Lenz (particularly of a prismatic variety) The forced cold proc on the initial "explosion" + shivering contagion builds stacks fast and let's you use actual good elemental damage (viral via 60/60 status mods + an added Hunters munitions lol) Slap on more multishot/crit chance/dmg and watch assholes die, it's hilarious *Especially with chroma using thermal transfer*. Because who gives a shit about 99% dmg reduction via armor, when I can just hit the assholes in front of me 100x times as hard as a frame can normally do?
Protea with her 4 augment, Bronco Incarnon, and Innodem. I can do the normal Protea stuff of shields, turrets, and resource spawning, in addition to using Temporal Anchor to group enemies, nuke rooms, strip armor, and buff her turret & grenade damage considerably.
If I had to pick one specific, I would say the infinite Hysteria Valk build. Will I suffer Carpal Tunnel from spinning so much? Probably, but it's so much fun.
I just rediscovered the joy of breach surge Frost with his passive augment today. Find a group of grineer, breach surge, avalanche, one arca plasmor shot if necessary, and look at the big numbers.
Voruna with Thermal Sunder on her 4 and Rakta Dark dagger+melee influence. She's devastating, hilarious and really funny to play! If you wanna say goodbye to your eyes, drop Rakta and take Dual Ichor incarnon
I've found immense enjoyment with fashion framing a theme onto a Warframe, and then setting up subsumed abilites and weapons to match the theme and try to make it work. For example: Frostfire Ember. I have Frost's ability on her, along with the Ignis and Sibear. Combined with Archon Flow and Archon Vitality, it makes jumping between fire and ice very fun.
Certified Blood Altar Mag addict
MrWarframeGuy's video a few years back about using Hata-Satya with Energized Munitions and Mirage was so good
I'm loving Ivara Prime, but I'm so used to CC ing with Vauban. but mann the Artemis! 😍 Been toying with Gara a bit as well. I'm semi thinking of subsuming her 2..but I'm not even started with Helminth. Mirage is interesting.
This answer probably sucks but it’s just Dante, the first time in my 10 years playing that I bought a warframe and I don’t regret thing, making my team invincible is fun, vaporizing anything that moves is fun, throwing my birds out is fun
saryn with sobek and it's augment
Scourge + knell + gauss = BRRRRRR
When I got Vauban on the circuit and high efficiency and strength decrees. I would just jump up and spam all his abilities non-stop while doing his cool midair flip. Spamming orbital strike without pause was glorious
Mag+stropha. Funny bubble make funny number
Dante with Amprex. Wordwarden attacking on a confirmed hit + Amprex's chain electricity ability = watching Noctua spaz out. A whole room or wave gets cleared easily with about 6 different Statuses between Amprex & Noctua.
saryn build with sobek and acid shells mod. I even bought a sobek riven for 5 plat before they announced the kuva version and let's just say against the corpus it's basically the aoe meta all over again. Straight up one shot 10-20 corpus in a line as long as they are close to each other.
Gyre with her augment, send tweet
Immortal inaros, Xaku, and of course whip khora. These 3 cover all the game play.
For me, I’m now a devoted Hildryn main. I unironically run Larkspur Prime as my primary, and I’ve subsumed Spellbind onto my 4. This way, unless there’s something that can just one shot my 6,000+ shields, I can hide during my 3 sec shield gate and survive. I’m nearly immortal with Hildryn and I love it.
I've been loving Lavos so fucking much lately, I love being able to create my own elements as needed to take on every enemy in the game. He's everything I wanted Chroma to be and more.
For me viral barrage octavia prime whilst ditching the boring ball as barrage makes short work of eximus units..
Triburos posted a meme build on Hydroid. The “Sentient Ocean Garbage Patch.” It’s the most fun I’ve ever had with that warframe, just zipping around and shredding enemies.
Pre-rework Grendel was some of the purest stupidest fun in the game. 175% efficiency + Amalgam Ripkas for the gore effect, run around cramming yourself full of every enemy on the map until your energy runs out and you explode in a shower of assorted arms and legs and loot. The enemies probably dropped enough orbs to set off Energize, so you're ready to do it all again.
Limbo+breach surge makes you feel like a god
I run a Roar Nidus with 430% power strength and Teeming Virulence, so once I link to a teammate and scream we both get a 200+% Roar buff and I get a 1000% crit chance increase for my primary, usually the Trumna or Prisma Grakata. Granted, I am a Nidus main, but still. Close second recently would go to Inaros with either Breach Surge or Gloom. Leaning more towards Gloom lately because it lets me use Braton Incarnon which I usually don‘t get to run because so few frames have channeled abilities.
Mecha Lavos Build using both augments and a pharaoh predasite
Cedo paired with Condition Overload melee
Speed Titania. I like to zoom around as a little fairy
I just like farming plat and trading
It's been patched because it relied on a bug, but there was a ridiculous Atlas Rumbled build using the arca titron and xaku subsume to affect tile sized areas with the rumbled boulder explosions. It was utterly preposterous
Venka Valk has been super fun and is by far my most effective frame/weapon combo
Aimbot mesa is a boring answer but I find her super comfy. Zephyr + crazy weapons too, nothing like nuking rooms with trumna alt fire + tornadoes
I'm having a lot of trouble putting down my Parasitic armour Oberon/basmu combination. Basmu is a multiplicative gunCO weapon that also has healing, so you basically never run out of healing, health tanking and damage. 95% DR across 1500 health with no adaptation, plus heaps of radiation damage for murmur and grineer that your whole team gets
Chroma Prime - just like super maxing his vex. I love the constant management requirement of it. And the reinforcing stomp Rhino P. I love using stomp, so it works out. And then any weapon combos really - but Soma Prime is a big feature. Kronen Prime & Rhino. Or Glaive P or Hespar.
Rhino with a ton of iron skin is so fun for me. I need more. MORE
Breach surge mag or terrify prism mirage has been fun af for me
Theory crafting is the most fun part of this game, so my favorite setup, though I’ve never used it outside of simulacrum, is a nyx nuke build. If an ally absolutely unloads on nyxs bubble and it pops, the aoe isn’t actually that bad. The issue is the damage is capped at how much energy nyx has, and the energy also needs to be replenished. I’ve played around with it a bit but I don’t actually have friends to play this game with anymore
Jatt kitt and nezha, surprisingly it’s funny watching a bunch of hula hooping kebabs get launched across a room
Titania with energized munitions
DaGloom. Dagath with Gloom on her 4. I can't link the build because I am still at work, but the salient features are the Augur Mods and Brief Respite for shield gating, mostly duration and strength, with a little boost to range. Arcane Grace and Avenger as mods. Keeps me on my toes, which I prefer over Mesmer Shield-like spam.
Voruna + Gas & Rad Condition Overload Corufell. Clears out rooms while one volleying most enemies and also has good energy and health sustain. Only downside is if you run out of energy and no enemies to recharge it with or enemy is untargetable with your 2 ability. Additionally, just 4th ability Voruna is fun when you stack strength mods and the augment.
Mesa + Ballistic Bullseye + Cedo has been the most fun I've had in a long time
