I’m still new to the game, and now, after playing exclusively with Volt, I find myself in a position where I can build Rhino, Nekros and Vauban.
I’ve heard the Rhino is good for survivability, but that hasn’t really been an issue so far, so that’s not a big seller for me.
Any tips or suggestions? I feel like it’s taken forever to get to the point where I could build a frame, so having to choose from 3 is mind boggling.
Nekros looks the coolest to me, so that’s how I’m leaning right now.
Nekros is superb for ressource farming. I would go for it
Thanks! I appreciate the tip.
I’ve watched some videos, and they just kept saying to get Rhino. Is he boring? Between him and Vauban, what would you get? I think I have 2 slots.
Rhino is really slow. But his damage buff is excellent. I personally like Vauban more but as other ppl said not very beginner friendly.
Your top priority should be finishing the star chart und reach at least MR8-ish. A lot of good weapons are avaible then.
Always max you weapons and frames, even if you don’t like them. use your platin exclusively for frame/weapon slots
That would be my general advise for a beginner
Edit: Must see for a new player ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VuYCLelIO8
Most people at your level don’t know how to dodge and move well for survivability. The builds are also often half done.
So they struggle with survivability and damage.
Rhino in those 2 areas is great. Iron skin is making you invulnerable for an amount of damage received, and roar gets your a damage increase (it multiplies the damage you deal +100% means your normal damage once everything applies x2).
I agree with some of the other comments, Rhino is great but his survivability can end up being a crutch as far as playing other frames and keeping them alive. I recommend Nekros because the extra resources is nice and he’s one of my personal favorites but if you want to be tanky Rhino is the frame for you
Rhino is a safe bet due to his defensive and offensive abilities so usually people recommend him. If you want something more than just combat though, Nekros is good for resource farm and Vauban is a big CC (crowd control) beast that can pull in enemies and group them for easier killing or objective defense.
You can’t really go wrong with any of them and sooner or later you’ll probably have them all, so I’d say just go with the one that appeals the most to you.
Rhino is a very powerful warframe, and can carry you through most content on the star chart essentially with just Roar and Iron Skin. Unfortunately, using Rhino as a new player tends to end up with using his abilities as a crutch and learning the actual systems of the game too late. I cautiously recommend Rhino.
Vauban is a king of crowd control, but he’s an energy-hungry frame, and as a new player your most reliable source of energy will be the Eximus enemies that ignore your crowd control. I recommend Vauban later on.
Nekros is kind of a one trick pony, but his trick is very good in a game where you farm drops. If your survivability isn’t a factor, I would recommend Nekros now.
All 3 are fantastic frames, but can really begin to shine when you have access to more powerful, specific mods (Corrupted mods from the dragon key vaults on Deimos, Augment mods from the 6 syndicates) and systems later in the game (Helminth for swapping abilities, arcanes for bonus effects). Nekros’s survival issues, Vauban’s energy hunger, and Rhino’s harsh fall-off in very high level content can all be solved with setups that you won’t quite have yet.
Volt himself is pretty good for clearing all the starter content, I would recommend Nekros for the farming utility.
You might want to consider farming for a Volt Prime if you have a source of plat already
Ah, an answer that takes the OP’s current frame into account. I didn’t realize all of the others didn’t do that until I read yours, heh.
Go for Revenant. Practically immortal disregard to enemy lvl, has crowd control and cool mobility. Scales incredibly well to late game. Best frame for endurance runs period. Can protect all team with mesmer shield augument. No need to get prime version as there is no difference. Relatively low invesment to achieve perfection.
