Yareli

Overview: A watery trickster accompanied by a literal “skate-board” Yareli is a fast moving and deadly crowd-control frame. Her blueprint is obtained by completing the Waverider quest for the Ventkids of Fortuna, while her components can be researched and built in the labs of your clan dojo. The Waverider: To obtain Yareli, one must complete a series of tricks using a K-Drive. This can be pretty frustrating if you’re not deeply invested in the K-Drive scene, so here’s a few tips: Grind on the small wall around the “Pearl” (west of Fortuna on the Orb Vallis) for a long trick … Continue reading Yareli

Chroma

Overview: Building massive defensive and offensive bonuses from taking damage, this draconic frame can endure or annihilate almost any opponent. Chroma can be acquired from “The New Strange” in your codex. Prime: Chroma prime is currently vaulted, meaning you’ll need to bug clanmates and friends for relics, keep an eye on the trade channel or wait for an unvaulting event. Special: Chroma can extend spectral wings, allowing him to perform an extra double or bullet jump. In addition, Chroma can cycle the colour of his abilities by using Spectral Scream (1) altering their energy properties – as a broad explanation, … Continue reading Chroma

Mirage

Overview: The killing joke, Mirage conjures illusions and bombs to cause havoc wherever she appears. Capable of huge damage and mass crowd control, she can be acquired from the Hidden Messages quest available in your codex. Prime: Mirage prime is currently vaulted, meaning you’ll need to bug friends and clan members for relics, dip your toes into the trade channel or wait for an unvaulting event if you want to obtain her. Special: Mirage performs manoeuvres 50% faster and slides for 85% longer. It doesn’t sound that great, but it does quite a bit for you parkour mobility. Pros: A … Continue reading Mirage

Excalibur

Overview: Excalibur and Excalibur Umbra are the sword-masters of Warframe, dashing across the battlefield, blinding foes with a flourished blade and wielding a summoned weapon of energy. Excalibur is both simple and flexible, and can be acquired from Lech Kril on Mars, or chosen as your starting frame. Excalibur Umbra is rewarded during “The Sacrifice” quest. Prime: While Excalibur prime does exist, it was provided as a reward to those who joined the founders program nearly a decade ago – and since that was effectively a contract, it cannot be added to the game. On the plus side, all players … Continue reading Excalibur

Wisp

Overview: This floating frame has something of a floral theme, summoning magical plants to support allies – if you’re not creating illusions or emitting a beam of sidereal radiation towards a hapless foe! You can get the parts by killing the Ropalolyst on Jupiter after completing the Chimera quest. Prime: Wisp prime is yet to be released. Special: Gain invisibility when not touching the ground – this lasts a few seconds after landing, and can be broken early when firing a weapon. It sounds like a gimmick (and it is) but this is an incredible passive, boosting defence and utility … Continue reading Wisp

Xaku

Overview: A void twisted horror grown from warframes that could have been but never were, this vengeful ghost brings void infused destruction to the Origin System. Parts can be found as bounty mission rewards on the Cambion Drift (Deimos) and the main blueprint can be acquired from the Heart Of Deimos quest. Prime: Xaku prime has not been released as yet, and will not be for a considerable length of time. Special: Gain an innate 25% chance to dodge incoming incoming fire, and take 25% less area effect damage as you phase in and out of reality. Pros: High energy … Continue reading Xaku

Sevagoth

Overview: A shadow of the old war, with a blueprint recovered from the lost ship Tempestarii (Call of the Tempestarii quest) and components from the Void Storms ravaging Neptune, Pluto and Veil Proxima. Sevagoth nurtures a dark reflection inside his shell, one that thinks mere death shouldn’t sate hunger. Special: Sevagoth has two passive abilities, both pertaining to his Exalted Shadow (4) ability. Death Well: Sevagoth fills a counter when killing or draining enemies affected by his powers. This counter is used to fuel his Exalted Shadow (4) in place of energy. Tombstone: When reduced to 0 health, Sevagoth will … Continue reading Sevagoth
