Warframe is a fantastic free-to-play online game. It does, however, have a fairly steep learning curve, and you can’t really skip any of the systems without putting yourself at a disadvantage.
There are also a variety of wireframes to choose from, each with its own set of abilities.
You might want to think of them as characters in a MOBA to make it easier to get used to them.
There are 45 wireframes to choose from right now, including the stronger Prime ones, and more are on the way.

The 15 Best Warframes
Of course, some people are better than others. Keep these three things in mind when choosing a warframe:
- Damage per second (DPS)
- Crowd Control
- Survivability (CC)
Let’s take a look at 15 warframes that excel in at least one of these areas:
LIMBO #15
Nullifiers, which cancel out the skills of other warframes, are Limbo’s only flaw. These are simple to use and, combined with his Rift mechanics, make him unbeatable.
Limbo has the ability to stop projectiles in mid-flight. It’s easy to give him a long-lasting energy pool, and when you combine that with his range, efficiency, and long skill duration, he’s a powerful and useful killing machine.
TRINITY #14
Trinity, also known as the War Goddess in the game, has infinite energy, allowing enemies to waste their abilities in an attempt to kill her. As a result, she serves as a support structure.
Trinity has the ability to link her health to an enemy, causing them to take the damage that should have been dealt with her. She can withstand even the most powerful attacks.
NIDUS #13
Nidus is the most resilient warframe, despite the fact that Inaros is possibly the strongest. Nidus is nearly unkillable, no matter how powerful his opponents are.
He has the ability to stack up to a hundred mutations. He can use 15 Mutation stacks to resurrect himself whenever he dies.
Mutation stacks are easy to come by, so you can keep him alive for as long as possible.
EXCALIBUR/EXCALIBUR UMBRA #12 EXCALIBUR/EXCALIBUR UMBRA
Although this is the most basic warframe for beginners, it is still a good choice. Depending on who you choose in the tutorial, you might get this one for free; otherwise, you can get Excalibur Umbra for free in a later quest, and that one is stronger.
Due to his Exalted Blade skill, Excalibur is an excellent DPS warframe. He also has Radial Blind, which temporarily stuns enemies and serves as a crowd control panic button.
Excalibur has two mods that are relatively easy to obtain. He wields a Chromatic Blade as well as an Exalted Blade with Condition Overload.
These contribute to his victory in the endgame content.
GAUSS #11
Gauss is a versatile and effective damage frame. He’s a good choice if you’re in a rush to get through the game and want to finish every mission as quickly as possible to make the most of your time or improve your Warframe skills.
Even when compared to Volt, he is the fastest warframe due to his second skill.
His ability to move quickly is unrivaled.
His other abilities are also impressive, including the ability to wipe out all enemies in a 360-degree radius and the ability to mitigate projectile damage.
EQUINOX #10
The Day and Night Form dynamics in this rather complex warframe can take some time to master.
Equinox, on the other hand, is one of the best endgame-scaling frames available.
Equinox has the ability to put enemies to sleep before killing them in order to gain affinity. This makes affinity farming solo a breeze. Her final ability is the ability to cause enemies to bleed to death.
This works on any level of enemies because it is based on a percentage calculation.
Equinox becomes a healer for the entire team when she transforms into another form, making her a valuable warframe to choose from.
NEKROS #9
Nekros’ third skill, Desecrate, makes him an excellent choice. Any dead enemy is forced to hand over their loot.
Despite the fact that it’s based on a percentage, it roughly doubles your appearance and increases your chances of finding mods or rare items. Nekros is an excellent way to obtain a large amount of Warframe Platinum.
IVARA #8
Ivara’s invisibility is permanent, which puts her in the top tier. She is dressed in a ranger outfit and wields a bow. Artemis Bow is her skill, which allows her to shoot multiple arrows from a bow.
Regardless of the enemy’s level, this bow deals a lot of damage.
Ivara also has other abilities, such as crowd control, which, combined with her invisibility, makes her a powerful player in the game and an excellent choice for solo endless survival modes.
INAROS #7
Inaros doesn’t rely on his abilities all that much, but he’s still a good choice. In comparison to most other warframes, it appears to shrug off attacks with little effort.
His ability provides a lot of armor, but he still takes damage to his health.
Desiccation, another of his abilities, can be used to regenerate his health at warp speed. With sand, this stuns and blinds enemies. If they die, a significant portion of Inaros’ health will be restored.
He’s a tough nut to crack.
SARYN #6
Saryn has a good DPS frame and is probably the best at dealing damage to all enemies within 50 meters. She can eliminate them before they even come into your line of sight.
Spores are her first skill, and it not only deals damage to enemies but also spreads to others, removing their armor.
Saryn also has the abilities Toxic Lash and Miasma, which can be used to wipe out any enemy on the map when they spawn.
In comparison to other warframes, she isn’t as good at surviving, but her Molt skill draws enemy fire and can be modded to restore her health.
RHINO #5
If you want to have some fun with weapons instead of going for the warframe with the best killing ability, Rhino or the Rhino Prime variant might be a good choice (which is similar but stronger and edgier).
You’ll be able to do it without worrying about dying. Rhino possesses a variety of useful abilities, but his Iron Skin makes him particularly difficult to kill.
He isn’t the best for Warframe’s most difficult missions, but he has a lot of health and can put up a good fight thanks to the two mods Iron Shrapnel and Ironclad Charge.
Use Rhino Charge to throw him into a crowd of enemies, then activate Iron Skin right away. Depending on how many enemies you can hit, you will gain between 10,000 and 300,000 extra armor.
OCTAVIA #4
Octavia possesses a diverse set of abilities as well as considerable power. She can withstand damage and deflect enemy fire.
She also has the ability to become invincible indefinitely, which she can share with up to three other members of the team.
She is far more powerful than Loki because she can remain invisible at all times and still cause significant damage.
NOVA #3
Nova has the ability to kill any enemy she comes across. Molecular Prime is her ultimate ability.
Depending on how you modify this skill, you can make enemies slower or faster, or inflict double the damage on them.
Nova has a better chance of surviving than Saryn because her first skill is Null Star, which reduces damage by up to 90%. Using the Molecular Prime field, she can withstand any attack.
NEZHA #2
This version of Rhino is more active and faster. The ability is also comparable. Nezha possesses Warding Halo, which means he is heavily armored and difficult to kill.
He also has the Firewalker skill, which deals damage and stuns enemies who step on his trail of fire, as well as increasing his speed.
Nezha also has Blazing Chakram, which grants inexhaustible healing orbs, allowing her to quickly regain health. Another skill, Divine Spears, can incapacitate a large number of enemies at once and is useful for crowd control.
MESA #1
Our Grand Prize Winner!! In terms of DPS, Mesa or Mesa Prime are unrivaled.
This is due to her ultimate skill, being a Peacemaker, which will kill any enemy approaching her, regardless of their level.
Mesa can also be used in a survival or tank role, thanks to her Shooting Gallery ability, which stuns and disables enemies’ ranged weapons when they get too close.
Mesa’s Shatter Shield also lessens the amount of damage she takes. Because of her diverse set of abilities, she is a lethal killing machine.
