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.

Doesn’t matter, in no time at all you’ll be getting a new frame and levelling it to 30 a couple of times (because of forma) in the same day (absent the delay for build times, but that isn’t time where you need to do anything) All the frames can do standard star chart stuff

But if I was prioritising warframes I’d ensure I had an area CC Warframe like Vauban, Khora, Nova, etc as they are useful for defense/mobile defense/excavation

If you go for Nekros, you might want to consider grabbing his Despoil Augment from Perrin Sequence/Red Veil to deal with his energy management.

Shield of Shadows is another useful augment for reducing damage taken and for status immunity.

Luckily most of the normal frames aren’t too hard get or to reaccuire. I’d recommend playing around with all of them as much as your inventory allows.

However it’s always nice to keep a Tank and a Nuke om standby.

Personally I used Harrow for everything for the longest time. He and thick mommy Hildryn carried my scrub ass through most of the Steel Path Star-chart.

But then I discovered the Sith Lord of warframes… Mag. She’s an absolute powerhouse and therefor my current go-to for almost everything.

Honestly, while you’re new to the game, just pick up the frame that looks the coolest to you.

At low levels (anything up to 30), all frames can run most if not all missions. Later on you’ll find that certain frames specialize in certain things, like Rhino for leveling new weapons quickly or Nekros for farming certain resources.

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.

Volt is great, but I can understand if playing him too much gets boring.
