Hildryn

Casual Goblin

Overview: Casting powers using her shields, Hildryn is the first frame to dispense with energy entirely. If you are looking for a powerful support choice that can take a massive beating, drain enemy shields and armour, inflict ongoing radial crowd control and damage and never have to worry about energy, pick up the components from the Exploiter Orb and the blueprint from Vox Solaris in Fortuna, Venus. Prime: Hildryn prime is available from relics, boasting enhanced health, shield capacity and sprint speed. Special: Hildryn uses her shields to cast powers rather than energy, does not take bleed or toxin status … Continue reading Hildryn

Protea

Casual Goblin

Overview: Protea is a gadget-obsessed frame, able to bring powerful damage and support powers to bear on the battlefield. Parts can be found in the Granum Void unlocked after completing The Deadlock Protocol quest in your codex. Prime: Protea doesn’t have a prime version as yet, and will likely not do so for a few years. Special: Protea empowers every fourth ability you cast with an additional 100% power strength. This is a nice passive that can be left to run by itself or used tactically to empower a specific ability – perhaps you need extra resources from Dispensary (3) … Continue reading Protea

Volt

Casual Goblin

Overview: Quick, versatile and cheap, this frame is shockingly good for its price. Thanks to stunningly good radial crowd-control and a deployable shield/weapon amplifier, Volt scales extremely well in high level content. You can pick up the blueprints from your clan “Tenno” lab, or select it as your starting frame. Prime: Volt prime is currently vaulted – though his relics are sometimes available from Baro Ki’Teer, the Void Trader that appears every second week. Other than that, you could try bugging friends, clanmates or the trade channel. Special: Build up to 1000 static charge as you move around, applied to … Continue reading Volt

Harrow

Casual Goblin

Overview: Bind enemies in spectral chains, restore health and energy, convert shields to attack and reload buffs, or provide temporary invulnerability with a retaliatory critical chance buff. If this support frame sounds good, obtain the blueprint from the Chains of Harrow quest, the chassis from void fissure enemies, the neuroptics from spy missions on the Kuva Fortress, and the systems from defection missions. Prime: Harrow prime is currently available, and boasts improved shield and energy capacity over the normal version. Relics that can contain his components can be obtained as mission rewards or from syndicate relic packs. Special: Higher over-shield … Continue reading Harrow

Rhino

Casual Goblin

Overview: Bowl enemies over, plate yourself in iron, boost squad damage with your roars and stomp the ground so hard you slow time – if this sounds good to you, try out Rhino. You can get Rhino components by killing the Jackal on Venus, and the main blueprint from the marketplace. Prime: Rhino prime does exist, but the relics containing his parts are currently “vaulted” and will not drop from any source. Try asking friends and clanmates if they have any relics, keep an eye on the trading channel or wait for an “unvaulting” event if you want this Orokin … Continue reading Rhino

Lavos

Casual Goblin

Overview: Infused with elemental essence, Lavos launches deadly cocktails of energy to eradicate his foes. You can buy his components from the Entrati Family in the Deimos Necralisk. Special: When collecting an energy or universal orb, clear any ongoing status effects and become immune to further effects for 10 seconds. In addition, ability duration mods apply their bonuses to all status effects caused by Lavos and his weapons. The powers used by Lavos do not consume energy, using a cooldown mechanic instead. This has an additional benefit in Railjack, since any battle intrinsic will also use a cooldown – meaning … Continue reading Lavos

Zephyr

Casual Goblin

Overview: Zephyr rains death from above, conjuring walls of wind to protect her allies and drifting twisters to disrupt her foes. She can be researched in the Tenno lab of your clan dojo. Zephyr also has a minigame called Happy Zephyr based on the Flappy Bird mobile game. It can be bought from Cephalon Simaris, or accessed by equipping Zephyr and selecting the Z tab in appearance. Prime: Zephyr prime is currently vaulted, meaning that you’ll need to ask friends and clanmates if they have the relics, try your luck on the trading channel or simply wait for an unvaulting … Continue reading Zephyr

Elder Scrolls

The Elder Scrolls Online: Templar

Casual Goblin

Templars channel the power of the Aedra, summoning divine power to impale foes on burning spears or mend the wounds of allies. Templars are great choices for damage dealing or healing, coming with built in support abilities and a wide range of physical and magical attacks. Skill Lines: Templar possesses three skill lines to invest in, that can be supplemented with equipment, guild and world skills: Aedric Spear: High area-effect damage coupled with crowd-control, and if nothing else you’ll want Puncturing Strikes unlocked – strike and snare everyone in a cone, dealing a big chunk of damage, gaining minor protection … Continue reading The Elder Scrolls Online: Templar

Octavia

Casual Goblin

Overview: The bard, Octavia conducts her fellow frames, orchestrating a symphony of destruction with her own percussive flair. Unlock her blueprint via the Octavia’s Anthem quest, pick up her neuroptics in Orokin Derelict Survival missions, systems in Lua exterminate caches and chassis in Lua musical puzzle rooms – and yes, that is a bit of a pain to get. Prime: Octavia Prime relics can drop from mission rewards and syndicate relic packs. She comes with higher shields and energy capacity. Special: Casting any power will grant you and your team 1 energy per second for 30 seconds. Needless to say, … Continue reading Octavia

Oberon

Casual Goblin

Overview: Half paladin, half druid, all goat – this support frame is capable of dishing out damage as well. Oberon components can drop from the caches found in Empyrion (Railjack) missions, and his blueprint can be bought from the market. Prime: Oberon prime is currently vaulted, meaning that you’ll need to ask friends and clanmates for relics, try the trading channel or simply wait for an unvaulting event to acquire the prime variant. Oberon prime gains a bonus to armour and energy capacity. Special: Instantly revive your Kavat or Kubrow once per mission, and allied beast companions gain 25% armour, … Continue reading Oberon
