In Warframe, each Warframe is a playable character that generally has four abilities and a passive. With a variety of game modes and challenges, having a roster of Warframes built for different roles will be vital to your success.
Today, we cover one of the best frames for Beginners, a frame with tons of utility but limited requirements, and tell you how it works, its best build, and how to get it.
Nekros: The Loot Tank
At its core, Warframe is a loot game. So you’re going to want at least one of the few Warframes that has the ability to roll extra loot. For new players, our recommendation is Nekros. Nekros, although best known for his loot ability Desecrate, is still equipped with a well designed, thematic kit that can carry players far into the endgame content Warframe currently offers.
Nekros’ first ability isn’t the most interesting. Soul Punch is a cheap, damage dealing ability that is more thematic than useful; it’s not something you’ll spend much time casting. The rest of his kit is far more interesting. It does ragdoll enemies, however, which is fun. And in Warframe, fun matters a lot.
His second ability Terrify, in comparison, is far more useful. This aoe ability makes enemies flee, reducing their armor based on power strength. Armor stripping is a big deal in Warframe, and while it’s not as essential after the Jade Shadows update, it’s still a welcome addition in any game mode. In Warframe, armor accounts for a lot of damage reduction an enemy has. An enemy with no armor is far easier to defeat, as you’d expect. Terrify also has an augment, Creeping Terrify, that slows affected enemies, for game modes where you want enemies CC’d instead of defeated, like in interception.
As mentioned earlier, Desecrate is Nekros’ third, and most well known ability. This toggle ability provides additional loot while active. Desecrate will roll extra loot based on enemy bodies, which is important since some factors can increase the loot you roll. Weapons with high slash damage, or weapons with an additional ‘dismemberment’ chance create more bodies for Desecrate. This ability generates a lot of health orbs, which when combined with the Equilibrium mod give Nekros an incredibly consistent energy economy.
His final ability, Shadows of the Dead, is a thematic, defensive ability whereby defeated enemies are brought back to life to act as shields for Nekros. Reanimated enemies attack and absorb hits meant for Nekros, and can be further improved with the Shield of Shadows augment mod, allowing even more damage you sustain to be mitigated.
Where to Get Nekros in Warframe
Blueprints for the parts for the Nekros Warframe can be earned by defeating the Lephantis boss on Deimos. NOTE: For new players, this boss can also drop Orokin Cells and Neurodes; two resources even veteran players are always in need of.
