Puts a tear in my eye seeing you using the Teslaban build. Thanks for the shoutout! Wanna say I have been keeping up with your stuff and you have been doing great, keep it up dude. Amazing as always.
As well as being able to build into a massive energy pool. All my other stats are 100 with Str at 201 and 1200 energy without Primed Flow or Shards. He has about 3700 armor as well. I find him fun for all content, I usually swap between a Hyldrin Battery and Qorvex just due to tanking.
You're so real for saying that you started using Yareli only after she got a new skin. I once was lucky to win a 1k of platinum, spend it all on skins and cosmetics for frames I've never used and never regretted it bc after making them look cool I suddenly wanted to have good builds for all of them. Never underestimate the power of fashion, my friends, lol :D
Btw for Qorvex, i've found that going for Arcane Battery instead of Energize is really good due to his high base armor. It also frees up a slot since you don't need primed flow
Qorvex is my go to frame for sp and netracells. Massive energy pool, huge damage reduction, Nourish over his 1 as I prefer to be mobile and high strength with negative efficiency with Molt Reconstruct means that any tiny bit of damage I do take gets healed with my regular wall spamming. Hell a companion with Guardian or Kubrow with Protect can passively shield gate for you for even more survivability. I slapped on Nira's Anguish and built a slam based Sampotes so he can wipe out rooms effortlessly. Criminally underrated! Very nice vid as well man - no dumb clickbait and good info.
I gotta say I’m a vet but this video was great. No clickbait like “MOST UNDERRATED SECRETLY BROKEN SUPER MEGA LVL 99999 CAP BUSTED WARFRAMES PICK NOW”. Just a simple video of “hey these guys are actually cool as shit, give em a try” with a very calm demeanor explaining in depth why each warframe is better than believed to be. Also I absolutely love the line “is he the best? No. Does he have to be? No”. There is no best warframe and you can make everything work if you put enough effort into it”. Please keep it up, this was a great video
Is Garuda even underrated? I feel like she gets s-a tier in a good amount of vids (as she should) like I’m pretty sure most vets would say she’s ez top 10, and if we’re being honest I’d personally put her at 2 behind octavia in just how objectively good the kits are.
@@James-9999 I'm p sure garuda is one of the best warframes for lv cap. Ppl just drop 5 cast speed shards on her and she easlily nukes everything at insane speed pressing 1 - 4 - 1 with nourish
@@pooof6605 People just like using it for the 100% knockdown protection, so in case the ability goes down or if some sort of knockdown comes from a diff side. I still think it's stupid/ pointless but it's usually the reason.
@@leavemebevidsarecrappy9039 It doesn't matter which side you get hit by the cc. You can try it inside the simulacrum, just put the shield on the opposite direction of a corrupted heavy gunner and wait for the shockwave. It's not the shield itself that stops the knockdown, it's the 100% omnidirectional knockdown protection buff that you get while you have the shield active. With primed continuity you have like 31 secs of shield, which is permanent knockdown protection for a casting build since you need to press 1 to kill enemies I'm not saying that p sure footed is a bad mod, but I'm a bit tired of guides recommending PSF over better solutions for specific frames. New players would feel pretty discouraged after seeing mods they can't get on builds everywhere
Separate comment to my earlier support: Yareli’s Aqua Blades augment has a secret synergy with the Kompressa. If you shoot the Kompressa onto the floor or geometry, then shoot it with the Surging Blade, it creates a damage-over-time orb. This orb snapshots the Surging Blades damage and puts that damage out with every tick. You can have multiple orbs active and they last a decent amount of time. Try it out, I highly recommend it for a defense or camping mission type.
Ive been a Banshee main for 11 years and I guess as a result I enjoy slept on Warframes. If you have done underrated Warframes, underrated weapons never hurt. I think people have been caught up with incarnon weapons and theres still plenty of other weapons that are great.
Vauban being underrated is crazy to me, put dispensary on him and focus on shield gating and hes incredibly good. Ive been using him on and off since his release, his worst period lasted a few years where he really wasn't great due to shield gating not being a thing, but once that was added he became viable again. A lot of people don't really seem to use him properly either? I see people only using vortex or if they do use bastille they dont know if you hold 4 you can prematurely collapse the bastille into a full duration vortex for no energy cost, essentially doubling the duration of the cast. Or how if you want to be most efficient, you use vortex, then cast a bastille on top. Enemies not sucked into the vortex for any reason will instead have their armor stripped for you and any player inside, including enemies with overguard.
I think the reason people are warming up to Yareli is less being slow to understand her kit and more the massive QoL upgrades she has received since release. She‘s an excellent example for how the first perception sticks with people, and on release she was seriously awful - she is still awfully buggy too.
Yeah! She isn't fully there yet with the QoL upgrades, the shrinking range on her 4th needs to go, and still very buggy, but she's a very solid frame now. I do enjoy using her now ^^
@@NinjaSyao yeah, but it would possibly make her a better Vauban. It has a great range, so if she keeps sucking enemies, it would be to strong. But maybe not reduce that much would be nice, maybe reduce it by 50%, not like 90%.
@@usefulbobcat As a former Limbo main (until they removed the funny projectile freeze 😔) he’s definitely usable but absolutely monotonous to make work. The amount of things in the game that either interrupt or simply discourage his core gameplay loop just makes it very unattractive to a lot of players (that’s even if they know how to use his kit well). I still use him a bit here and there but the amount of stuff you gotta do can get a bit overwhelming if I haven’t played in a while.
Another underrated warframe is Banshee, having Armor strip, multiplying by more than 10 your damage and that of all your allies, denying ALL types of enemy abilities (including acolytes) and also, if you put the wisp's helmint, not only will you have massive control, but a semi-nuke warframe because the sonar amplifies more than 10 times your damage plus the multiplicative damage of the wisp's helmint, it's crazy, very rare that I see it so little haha.
Yareli is actually pretty tricky to build right if you want to use a helminth ability and ride the k-drive. What I mean by that is that on the K-drive there is not a single helminth ability you can cast, so your options are to jump on and off, or chose an ability that doesn't need to be cast. I didn't wanna jump on and off, so there is precisely 3 abilities that can fit the bill, of which two are completely and utterly useless. Gloom it is then.... And that is when I ran into problem with the sea snares augment. The augment heals Merulina when you kill an enemy affected by sea snares, and upon healing it gives your pistol that 200% fire rate and reload. The issue is that gloom also heals merulina, and if merulina is full the augment doesn't trigger those weapon buffs. I had to fluff around for a good long time and I finally made it work, the only thing it absolutely required was combat discipline aura. Sure I could trigger the healing and weapon buffs every now and then even without the aura, but it was nothing but dice roll. Of course since gloom already heals both you and merulina, you can drop the augment for sea snares if you don't want to get that weapon buff. And if you turn Merulina into a second sentinel, you can use any helminth ability you want. I hope this helps for any possible aspiring future Yareli enjoyers.
I feel one of the biggest reasons Zephyr doesn't see as much play is because her low grav passive takes a bit of getting used to, and can just outright be a turn away for many players. Alternatively, there's many who still remember the very old Zephyr where she was just generic weapons platform that abused pre-nerf Tonkor with high strength Jet Stream and wrote her off completely after the nerf. There's definitely reasons why people don't, but there's definitely work arounds to fix those problems if they're willing to put in some investment.
In order to get him you have to do a fairly difficult activity where you need a half decent build already and he doesn’t have a high drop chance so if you found a build you like before getting him most players are going to stick with that one or two builds and not try him until way later
Two frames for consideration here: Caliban and Oberon Oberon has to be the easiest frame to build, whether as a caster or a tank he can so easily be near immortal and manage agro at the same time. He has status immunity and armor strip synergy on his 2, his second most spammable ability. Caliban can generate so much shield for himself that is is just silly, he has enough debuff capacity to make tanky enemies into paper. He is sort of a gunboat but it works really well with basically any aoe weapon. (Personal fave is high range airblast with a pure electric ambassador)
Hell yeah Yareli mentioned. It's insane how she can make a lot of less powerful secondaries wipe steel path, and make the busted ones reach even crazier numbers. Recently i've been playing around with Arcane Pistoleer and Merulina Guardian + all the fire rate buffs i can get (Reinforced Bond, Amalgam Furax, etc.) and the new accessibility option for semi-auto guns pretty much lets you turn ones like the Lato Incarnon into a full-auto SMG, FUN!!
Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male operator female warframe transference, Yareli is the most compatible warframe for operators. She has the lowest base armor of all warframe at only 100, this means she's soft enough to be penetrated by void dash, and with merulina absorbing 90% of incoming damage, you can be rough with one. Due to her mostly water based abilities, there's no doubt in my mind that Yareli is incredibly wet all the time, so wet you could easily void dash for hours without depleting energy. She can also infuse helminth ability voracious metastasis, healing herself and grant energy to ally, so it'd be incredibly easy for your void dash to last even longer. With her water controlling abilities sea snares and riptide, she can engulf you completely and hitting all your spots at once. No other warframe comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, Yareli's passive increases her critical chance by 200% if you can keep her moving. Yareli is literally build for transference. Lowest armor stat + merulina means she can take void dashing all day, from any focus schools and ways and still come for more
Love your approach mate, been playing wf for a very long time and I still don't have what people call main, I change warframes constantly and try new builds to keep it fun. Honorable mentions: valkyr, nyx, dagath all crazy strong and very rarely seen. Keep up the good work.
Most underrated has to be Caliban, since people rate him att the bottom when in reality he around B tier. Damage amp, CC, low enemy agro, constant shield regen, AoE full defense strip
This, Caliban has always been very usable, his 4 is very nice and unique, only Xaku has persistent armor strip as him. His 1 needs to be better though.
Personally the few thinks that I do not like about Caliban is that is 1st is basically a Revenant Ult with very short range and that his 4th has awful hitboxes.
Great vid! Qorvex is one of my most played frames and it’s nice to see someone else who understands the power of Uranium 236. Side note - have you tried Dagath with her new augment? I feel like she totally fits the ‘under played but very good’ theme.
Kullervos 3, it has exponentially growing thingy, group of 2 enemies deal 4 dips Like it doubles per enemy if cast correctly 2×2=4 3×3=9 4×4=16 5×5=25 6×6=36 7×7=49 8×8=64 9×9=81 10×10=100
I used gloom garuda on my first lvl cap ever yesterday and i still cant believe how easy it was she simply does not die on my shieldgate gloom build and her damage is just insane i hit a lvl 9999 demolisher with 2.147 billion damage with her first ability on top of that i did the lvl cap run solo with zero deaths This frame is absolutely isane for high lvl
@@giles.9862 why? she has infinite energy and you can put viral on your pets or guns anyway? Gloom is practically a 100 stun on all enemy types and heals you 100% of the time
My only problem with Equinox, as a Equinox player, is that it needs some adjustments to numbers and how stuff works. Why the 1 buffs aren't permanent to that form? Why does the damage vulnerability from 2 buffs enemies speed? I hate how the Power Strength buff from 3 has less value than Jade's, while Equinox has to pay a toll for any skill used by an ally, when Jade only activates it and can keep it up as long as she kills. I hate you can't build the two forms at the same time in a effective manner. The rest is fine/good imo, but these make me mad.
This ! And her 1 is not permanent AND also decays overtime.. like whaat is it to force us to switch form constantly ? Okay but then why her 3 must be recast every time we go from night/day ? And why we need to use the augment to keep our stacks on her 4 ? I like Equinox but her kit is kind of contradictory
@@lesneosuper-zero1693 Yeah! And the augment for her 3rd slows down enemies like Gloom in her Night Form... but you have to get hit by enemies to slooooooowly build it up, enemies that are being actively slowed by that very same 3rd ability and thus will shoot you less the more it builds up *facepalms*
My favorite thing to do with Qorvex is I bring him to tridolons with my friends. He isn't the best but his 3 and the fact it's refreshed with rad allows me to completely ignore the magnetic proc from the eidolons when they go down
Great video! I think were pretty much spot on, and it's great to see Yareli slowly but surely getting into the spotlight! The only reasons I haven't tried Equinox are A) Farming her is an RnG NIGHTMARE and B) I haven't seen any interesting updated guides for her. So I'd like to see you make a video for her. Also, on your last note, I have a suggestion for a video, tho it's not top 5 list or tierlist: I'd like you to make a video just generally discussing all the Warframes with complex and active playstyles that require a lot of thinking and strategizing (Ex: Lavos, Vauban, Dante?, Ivara? etc.). It doesn't have to be about whether they're good or not, just talk about them in general. I think that'd be an interesting video.
i see more people talking about qorvex and zephyr than equinox tbh^^ as a yareli main: yes she is underrated and people always laugh when i say shes a better gunslinger than mesa, but i dont mind^^ yareli is just insane, free crit rate, reload and firerate for secondarys enable so many amazing builds btw, with merulina guardian, its healing can trigger archon intensify, to make sure merulina takes damage, i use combat discipline, bc from its trigger, merulina will los 9 life and yareli 1. the trigger order when killing an enemy affected by seasnares is as follows: merulina gets healing from gloom, merulina loses hp from combat descipline, merulina gains healing from merulina guardian, archon intensify triggers from this healing i have a similar build, but my only energy sustain (despite also using gloom) is streamline+equilibrium, so i can use arcane avenger and the one that gives base dmg. i think velocity and merulina guardian is a slight overkill on firerate and i rather have innate priming with secondary encumber instead of going merciless. for those of us that dont have PSF i recommend Aviator for another 40% dmg reduction (while riding merulina, yareli is airborn)
This was great. I don't know about underrated, but I have tried to tune out the noise of negative opinions more and just having fun. I had 2500 hours in game and quit for 3 years. Now I'm back and having so much fun learning what I've missed. There is so much variety in frames these days, and some more varied content to try, most frames will be viable in 80% of the content. Most of the time, you should just play what YOU like.
zephyr will never not be underrated, she may not be the easiest frame to understand but she can put in some crazy work once you know how she works Like she really isn’t as straightforward as she lets on but that’s what makes her so great is her extra mechanics and nuances, even if the casual warframe player may steer away from her due to her extra little quirks. Definitely a super well rounded warframe that anyone should pick up
It’s equinox, always comes in as one of the least used frames, and always scores low on tier lists, yet I find her to be one of the best nukes in game, and has a power str buff. Alternatively I feel like nyx and valkyr are also up there as they can literally switch on infinite grey health bars, which is a pretty nice and relaxed playstyle.
6. Nidus, super powerful and great survivability, whole kit is useful, been a nidus main since day 1. But since his prime came out, I have yet to see another nidus, and youtubers never even mention them when comparing or analyzing frames
I freaking love Garuda, I main her and Chroma for years. My only problem with her it’s that I get one shotted on high steel path mission but her infinitely stacking damage on her dread mirror with the befit that the explosion goes thru wall make her so satisfying to play. And funny enough my best friend is like the only Yearli main I ever saw.
As a Garuda main I can confirm that I rarely see any other Garudas in the team. In stuff like surivival I'm just sitting in the middle with 280% range constantly nuking entire room while teammates are asking in the chat wtf is happening xDD So underrated
Trinity, i think also underrated. I use a low duration high strenght and moderate range build to nuke rooms. Use the helminth thats called "Marked for Death", i spread viral procs and then use energy vampire on the marked enemy.
Suggestion: Lavos. I've mained him ever since he came out, and not only do I use him for every mission type, I also use him to figure out who is bad at learning a Warframe because they call him trash without even trying to look into why he is the way he is. I can sit still in SP for as long as I want (granted without Jade Eximus) just from his armor and Arcane Grace
same. he is so fun and good at everything. he is a crazy good weapons platform with valence formation, can fully prime corrosive and viral, is an incredible tank, and can nuke with his 4 ( if you prime the enemies first)
@@Qwlett Exactly. People overlook or trash talk him because they just don't understand how to use him, or because you can't just spam abilities/press one button to wipe a map. The nuke is a little treat you get for doing a good job imo
I am Birdframe_Prime and I support this message. Zephyr is roughly 36% of my play time. And the whole ‘reputation affecting pick rate despite updates’ entirely applies here.
I saw a video for Garuda with Nourish which gives her Dread Mirror and Seeking Talons Viral, replacing Dread Alter and using Molt Reconstruct to heal on using energy. It's been a blast to use.
So, I’m a new player and have Excalibur, zephyr, volt, harrow, and nekros. Which would be the best for me to focus on? I am almost halfway through the star chart.
Zeyphr has a bug with target fixation where if you proc arcane steadfast and switch to operator you can run around with zeyphr on the floor without lossing her target fixation stacks as long as arcane steadfast is active
Equinox does need some tweaks, even her passive of being a 10% equilibrium is times worse than something like dagaths +300% efficiency on orbs. Dante's LoS nerf made her actually relevant again but she does struggle with survivability. Just wish her 4th would deal a slash proc on explosion, however, that'd just be Garuda's 4+1 combo :D
@@giles.9862 revenant isn't overrated though. all of his abilities are completely busted and he's the best tank in the game. overrated would be more like excalibur, saryn, titania, rhino, and ember
@@Always.Smarternone of them are really overrated though. Saryn is a phenomenal weapons platform (kinda overrated as a nuker though), absolutely nobody is rating Excal as higher than maybe B, Rhino is basic but his kit just works lol, Ember has improved greatly since the recent rework, and Titania is a phenomenal mix between mobility, damage, and survivability (also by far the best frame for Circuit)
Love Qorvex mained him after he came out but have been trying other warframes as of late. Never knew people were saying he wasnt good I completed my first solo netracell run with him.
These are all great frames. Garuda's always been a favourite, but she was even cooler when her strength scaled inversely with her remaining health. i too am grateful for some different Yareli fashion and...wait is that Smart Systems?
I main Zephyr shes so awesome. Got a TON of usage once the blast rework came out and shes in a ton of blast builds now. The movement is awesome and she has good CC.
Idk about you but I’ve been hearing people give big sloppy toppies to zephyr on RUclips. My top under rated pick, who has become my fav recently is dagath. I’ve hardly ever seen her in lobbies and when I tried her with her augment I turned her into my version of the Varuna kulervo build, but she also buffs other weapons not just melee. Somehow it also seems to bug something to the point where I can sometimes make my melees permanently do -2b damage. I just love how she buffs weapons with all her abilities while the abilities can also be used to nuke by themselves
I think the main reason of if a frame will be a big hit outside of damage is the fact we have a ton of crowd controle frames and with the eximus overguard crowd control does nothing untill we break it and new players dont have the set ups or damage to fight that, so what becomes the best frames are frames that can overguard, if the eximus overguard dident just full immune crowd control but instead just weakened it i feel way more frames would be viable
Video-idea: work through your 2024 frame tier list and frequently release build videos with a few setups you enjoy using for most of the current go-to content - basically what you've already been doing, sort of. Just more 😂
Try to use GrindHardSquad's Wrecking Wall + Arcane Battery build, the arcane gives him stupid amount of energy max, and walls resetting pillars timer allowing you to not to worry about the duration, is so liberating, so you can just run around and slap everyone silly with concrete slabs.
Qorvex is one of the strongest frames against murmur. He can delete enemies even in elite deep archimedian ( except for murmur). And you didnt mention it but the topaz archon shard's ability damage bonus on radiated enemies was pretty much made for him.
I wanted to love the Chernobyl frame but the one thing keeping me from playing Quorvex is how obnoxious the giant floating bricks are when you casts his 3. Warframe is already 'visually noisy' enough as it is (even with a tweaked UI), that design just bugs me and I wish I could just ignore it but nah
Yes Zephyr Prime is slept on and it’s CRAZY that you ranked her 2nd. Because just last night I woke up to how to REALLY use her abilities and her natural floating in combat while I was playing her frame and it was so impressive that I decided to focus on her as a main. Damn I LOVE Zephyr ❤😍 P.S using her with a Sniper is SOOO much fun 😅
3:20 edit: slow damage build up unlike more recent ones like gyre but you wanna know what’s the nail in the coffin for any frame in this period of warframe? Massive self damage + no cc + slow damage build up NEVER put three of them on one frame they require significant investment to fix Not saying, you should never make another Garuda ifact I would prefer if they change the Era of warframe we play in and bring back the value of supports so people could justify bringing her to a mission But even back in the day, this is pretty much what killed her I don’t wanna be doing self damage in a game where I take damage from everything she can go to level cap like all the other frames but again the separating difference between good in bed frames is the amount of investment required to make them good 2:59 yes, it has and I’ve played Garuda back during her release…. She was good at the time, but now she’s below average I’d even say a bad opition due to her defensive tools being lacking and her needing time to build up her damage… in this very uncomfortable Era where every new warframe release is self-sufficient and have no wind up time do damage back in the day you had Support CC DPS (casters and weapons platforms) Now you have quite possibly all of them wrapped up in one and her name is Jade🌚 like seriously stop releasing stuff like this it’s cool, but it’s not unique she can do everything with very few weaknesses I don’t wanna call her bad because I feel like that’s rude but she’s just not aging well if that makes sense she was released in a time on the philosophy for warframe was different but honestly she could really use some CC like desperately that would be significant but she’s not so bad that she needs a rework but I will say I rarely see a Garuda in a squad
Some of the mentions feel more like because they are situational or because there’s others that can bring something similar with less of a hassle with the other players, specifically in case of Garuda and Vauban cases. Vauban still carries the stigma from way back when his sole purpose was to lock down an area with bastille and not a whole lot of content creators tried work around his changes publicly to change that perception. Garuda suffers from something similar to Valkyr when all people used her was for her kitty claws and war cry melee focused build, her area of influence is small and the healing, for the longest, made clearing def and interception bothersome as the trapped enemy used to count towards those wave clear stops, on top of people being able to make use of other frames that can bring not only stationary healing but other benefits makes her value not that high imo. On Qorvex case, people sleeping on him specially after Jade Shadows introduced Arcane Battery. The augment for the wall also made it so that you won’t need to bother with green archon shards that much, making him a better weapon platform than before. I reckon the two major reasons people don’t like him in the group is because his immunity adds visual clutter and the chaos caused by radiation status proc can be less than desirable for some builds, which in turn makes him less desirable in comps because he can be disruptive. Well, disruptive can be said about nekros as well, when fighting in orb valis you can sometimes be a huge pain in the ass while farming for something or doing bounties because you can’t fire through your own shadow’s nullifier (and artic eximus) bubbles still. Another one I don’t see all that often are Titania players. I mean, outside people rushing captures for relics. Her circling buff doesn’t need a player to actively go and touch the after mark if you still have your pixies flying around as they can activate them and the status immunity on her 1st ability is really nice.
Zephyr is broken as fck. She's my new main from like a year and all I see is red crit and lvl 600+ dyung from 1 meele hit because of her passive and extra rhino roar/nourish buff. Slap primed sure foot on her, some juicy archon shards and you have a very few things that can actually damage her. However i think im gonna try your build too :p
Zephyr has got one of the dumbest a augments in the game. It’s on the first ability and it’s dive bomb attack, every enemy hit with it increases damage with it by 100%, this stacks infinitely and u only lose for being on the ground for 2 seconds however u are zephyr and can just float about anywhere. I was using it a few days ago in arbitrations and got up to 200,000% extra damage, safe to say that the random corpus crew mate didn’t stand a chance
I saw another comment saying this but Qorvex's innate punchthrough makes him a decent weapons platform and makes me like his 2 even more, since it's grouping, but it's grouping in a straight line, meaning I can take my Kuva Karak and obliterate a straight line of enemies. Tons of fun
atlas last i checked he was the lowest pick rate in the game but with a bit of investment he can be not only a 1 shot machine but he can also be one of if not the best solo farming frame
Zephyrs really good I did a long steel path circuit with them and lasted ages Equinox is slept on so good also can provide additional strength for allies ( which is definitely the most unused ability of her kit)
There are lots of great frames that don't get used much. Perhaps do the list of best DPS frames or worst war frames. Best DPS probably Saryn, Rhino, and Mirage. But other frames are right up there.
I don't really agree with subsuming breach on Zephyr. Yes it's a very strong ability and synergises well with tornadoes but she already can spread the damage so it raises a question if double dipping on that is the best play. Ofc everyone has their own playstyles but subsuming Eclipse or Roar for weapon/element damage, Terrify for aoe armor strip, Wyrd Scythes or Nourish for Viral stacking, Thermal Sunder with augment for even better AoE clear etc. can feel better in higher lv content and help you get more dmg on your loadout. Great video though!
For garuda I don't think that her damage doesn't really drop off since her 1 stacks a percentage of the max health from the hit enemy in her orb, and since holding the orb key stacks damage depending on the amount already present it basically scales of enemy lvl (Correct me if I'm wrong about something tho)
He might be not underrated but he is over hated, Limbo in my opinion has one of the most strongest kits in the game with the wrong crowd. Limbo mains will understand this and show why Limbo is worth your time and not just a Trollframe
Yes limbo has one of the best cc kits and with one of his augments he can get ridiculous amounts of damage and overgaurd doesn't hurt him as much as people say because last I checked stasis stops projectiles as well, the problem with him is the fact that he is as difficult to play as Octavia but hurts group play instead of helping it
I am a garuda main, and yeah I agree, she is one the best nukers in the game really scales well on endurance run, I just wish DE provides more lore about her than being a dumped trash in a mining cave
I agree with everything on this list I think baruuk should’ve been on this list, he takes quite an investment but once you have him at his max potential he’s a powerhouse
Puts a tear in my eye seeing you using the Teslaban build. Thanks for the shoutout!
Wanna say I have been keeping up with your stuff and you have been doing great, keep it up dude. Amazing as always.
Love the vauban vids
another thing about Qorvex is that his grouping singlehandedly makes many single target weapons w punch through viable for kpm
Also with his new augment now we can armour strip for more dps and adding xata's makes punch through even more spicy. Also microwave go brrr.

Just a simple video of “hey these guys are actually cool as shit, give em a try” with a very calm demeanor explaining in depth why each warframe is better than believed to be. Also I absolutely love the line “is he the best? No. Does he have to be? No”. There is no best warframe and you can make everything work if you put enough effort into it”. Please keep it up, this was a great video
I am a Garuda enjoyer, her infinite scaling damage with Dread Heart is crazy and throwing it into a massive group is so satisfying
I don't play that much Garuda, but why does he has Primed sure footed on her? You already have cc immunity when you have the shield on
Is Garuda even underrated? I feel like she gets s-a tier in a good amount of vids (as she should) like I’m pretty sure most vets would say she’s ez top 10, and if we’re being honest I’d personally put her at 2 behind octavia in just how objectively good the kits are.
@@James-9999 I'm p sure garuda is one of the best warframes for lv cap. Ppl just drop 5 cast speed shards on her and she easlily nukes everything at insane speed pressing 1 - 4 - 1 with nourish
@@pooof6605 People just like using it for the 100% knockdown protection, so in case the ability goes down or if some sort of knockdown comes from a diff side. I still think it's stupid/ pointless but it's usually the reason.
@@leavemebevidsarecrappy9039 It doesn't matter which side you get hit by the cc. You can try it inside the simulacrum, just put the shield on the opposite direction of a corrupted heavy gunner and wait for the shockwave. It's not the shield itself that stops the knockdown, it's the 100% omnidirectional knockdown protection buff that you get while you have the shield active. With primed continuity you have like 31 secs of shield, which is permanent knockdown protection for a casting build since you need to press 1 to kill enemies
I'm not saying that p sure footed is a bad mod, but I'm a bit tired of guides recommending PSF over better solutions for specific frames. New players would feel pretty discouraged after seeing mods they can't get on builds everywhere
Separate comment to my earlier support: Yareli’s Aqua Blades augment has a secret synergy with the Kompressa.
If you shoot the Kompressa onto the floor or geometry, then shoot it with the Surging Blade, it creates a damage-over-time orb. This orb snapshots the Surging Blades damage and puts that damage out with every tick. You can have multiple orbs active and they last a decent amount of time.
Try it out, I highly recommend it for a defense or camping mission type.
Seeing Yareli here brings me so much happiness. Shes finally getting the recognition she deserves
Ive been a Banshee main for 11 years and I guess as a result I enjoy slept on Warframes. If you have done underrated Warframes, underrated weapons never hurt. I think people have been caught up with incarnon weapons and theres still plenty of other weapons that are great.
Vauban being underrated is crazy to me, put dispensary on him and focus on shield gating and hes incredibly good. Ive been using him on and off since his release, his worst period lasted a few years where he really wasn't great due to shield gating not being a thing, but once that was added he became viable again.
A lot of people don't really seem to use him properly either? I see people only using vortex or if they do use bastille they dont know if you hold 4 you can prematurely collapse the bastille into a full duration vortex for no energy cost, essentially doubling the duration of the cast.
Or how if you want to be most efficient, you use vortex, then cast a bastille on top. Enemies not sucked into the vortex for any reason will instead have their armor stripped for you and any player inside, including enemies with overguard.
I think the reason people are warming up to Yareli is less being slow to understand her kit and more the massive QoL upgrades she has received since release. She‘s an excellent example for how the first perception sticks with people, and on release she was seriously awful - she is still awfully buggy too.
Another example, limbo
He's great my poor boi limbo
Yeah! She isn't fully there yet with the QoL upgrades, the shrinking range on her 4th needs to go, and still very buggy, but she's a very solid frame now. I do enjoy using her now ^^
@@NinjaSyao yeah, but it would possibly make her a better Vauban. It has a great range, so if she keeps sucking enemies, it would be to strong.
But maybe not reduce that much would be nice, maybe reduce it by 50%, not like 90%.
@@usefulbobcat As a former Limbo main (until they removed the funny projectile freeze 😔) he’s definitely usable but absolutely monotonous to make work. The amount of things in the game that either interrupt or simply discourage his core gameplay loop just makes it very unattractive to a lot of players (that’s even if they know how to use his kit well).
I still use him a bit here and there but the amount of stuff you gotta do can get a bit overwhelming if I haven’t played in a while.
Another underrated warframe is Banshee, having Armor strip, multiplying by more than 10 your damage and that of all your allies, denying ALL types of enemy abilities (including acolytes) and also, if you put the wisp's helmint, not only will you have massive control, but a semi-nuke warframe because the sonar amplifies more than 10 times your damage plus the multiplicative damage of the wisp's helmint, it's crazy, very rare that I see it so little haha.
And also with gloom + epitath enemies litteraly do not move and then sonar is crazy on those basically frozen enemies
And, don't forget, sonars can stack up to 2 on the same body part, multiplying the damage again (For example, a 10x sonar results in a 100x stack)
Played a sortie earlier where I was Garuda and my sons were Zephyr and Yareli. We know just how awesome these ladies are.
I love setting up Tether traps next to flechette orbs and just kicking back to watch the carnage.
Yareli is actually pretty tricky to build right if you want to use a helminth ability and ride the k-drive. What I mean by that is that on the K-drive there is not a single helminth ability you can cast, so your options are to jump on and off, or chose an ability that doesn't need to be cast. I didn't wanna jump on and off, so there is precisely 3 abilities that can fit the bill, of which two are completely and utterly useless. Gloom it is then....
And that is when I ran into problem with the sea snares augment. The augment heals Merulina when you kill an enemy affected by sea snares, and upon healing it gives your pistol that 200% fire rate and reload. The issue is that gloom also heals merulina, and if merulina is full the augment doesn't trigger those weapon buffs. I had to fluff around for a good long time and I finally made it work, the only thing it absolutely required was combat discipline aura. Sure I could trigger the healing and weapon buffs every now and then even without the aura, but it was nothing but dice roll.
Of course since gloom already heals both you and merulina, you can drop the augment for sea snares if you don't want to get that weapon buff. And if you turn Merulina into a second sentinel, you can use any helminth ability you want.
I hope this helps for any possible aspiring future Yareli enjoyers.
I feel one of the biggest reasons Zephyr doesn't see as much play is because her low grav passive takes a bit of getting used to, and can just outright be a turn away for many players. Alternatively, there's many who still remember the very old Zephyr where she was just generic weapons platform that abused pre-nerf Tonkor with high strength Jet Stream and wrote her off completely after the nerf. There's definitely reasons why people don't, but there's definitely work arounds to fix those problems if they're willing to put in some investment.
Slap on Target Fixation and have funny nuke time
Wait. She's a she? 😮😮😮
@@whaleborne1308 or just use her tail wind augment and 1 shot everything 😂
I personally find her low gravity good because she gets increased speed midair
In my experience Quarvex doesn’t suck but people suck at playing him especially in steel path
Then they must be pretty dumb cus its just press 1 press 4 into one in groups
What is there to suck at? Not. Like he is very skill intensive, no warframe truly is.
@@ChozenBardoUmbra deep archamadia and steel path are a lot different than regular star chart though
@@KAWLegend honestly, after the armor nerfs it's basically the same, everything dies pretty fast nowadays.
In order to get him you have to do a fairly difficult activity where you need a half decent build already and he doesn’t have a high drop chance so if you found a build you like before getting him most players are going to stick with that one or two builds and not try him until way later
Two frames for consideration here: Caliban and Oberon
Oberon has to be the easiest frame to build, whether as a caster or a tank he can so easily be near immortal and manage agro at the same time. He has status immunity and armor strip synergy on his 2, his second most spammable ability.
Caliban can generate so much shield for himself that is is just silly, he has enough debuff capacity to make tanky enemies into paper. He is sort of a gunboat but it works really well with basically any aoe weapon. (Personal fave is high range airblast with a pure electric ambassador)
Zephyr finally getting some recognition 🎉
Hell yeah Yareli mentioned.
It's insane how she can make a lot of less powerful secondaries wipe steel path, and make the busted ones reach even crazier numbers.
Recently i've been playing around with Arcane Pistoleer and Merulina Guardian + all the fire rate buffs i can get (Reinforced Bond, Amalgam Furax, etc.) and the new accessibility option for semi-auto guns pretty much lets you turn ones like the Lato Incarnon into a full-auto SMG, FUN!!
Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male operator female warframe transference, Yareli is the most compatible warframe for operators. She has the lowest base armor of all warframe at only 100, this means she's soft enough to be penetrated by void dash, and with merulina absorbing 90% of incoming damage, you can be rough with one. Due to her mostly water based abilities, there's no doubt in my mind that Yareli is incredibly wet all the time, so wet you could easily void dash for hours without depleting energy. She can also infuse helminth ability voracious metastasis, healing herself and grant energy to ally, so it'd be incredibly easy for your void dash to last even longer. With her water controlling abilities sea snares and riptide, she can engulf you completely and hitting all your spots at once. No other warframe comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, Yareli's passive increases her critical chance by 200% if you can keep her moving. Yareli is literally build for transference. Lowest armor stat + merulina means she can take void dashing all day, from any focus schools and ways and still come for more
Love your approach mate, been playing wf for a very long time and I still don't have what people call main, I change warframes constantly and try new builds to keep it fun. Honorable mentions: valkyr, nyx, dagath all crazy strong and very rarely seen. Keep up the good work.
I wonder why there aren't more people using Dagath, she's insane. When she got released and I saw some here and there, but now not even a single one.
Most underrated has to be Caliban, since people rate him att the bottom when in reality he around B tier. Damage amp, CC, low enemy agro, constant shield regen, AoE full defense strip
This, Caliban has always been very usable, his 4 is very nice and unique, only Xaku has persistent armor strip as him. His 1 needs to be better though.
Thankfully though he's getting a rework with the upcoming update so he's gonna get way more attention
Personally the few thinks that I do not like about Caliban is that is 1st is basically a Revenant Ult with very short range and that his 4th has awful hitboxes.
@@gkarak1996 Caliban's 1 is legit nothing but a free helminth slot
After the rework, he's DEFINITELY good lmao
Great vid! Qorvex is one of my most played frames and it’s nice to see someone else who understands the power of Uranium 236. Side note - have you tried Dagath with her new augment? I feel like she totally fits the ‘under played but very good’ theme.
Kullervos 3, it has exponentially growing thingy, group of 2 enemies deal 4 dips
Like it doubles per enemy if cast correctly
2×2=4
3×3=9
4×4=16
5×5=25
6×6=36
7×7=49
8×8=64
9×9=81
10×10=100
I used gloom garuda on my first lvl cap ever yesterday and i still cant believe how easy it was she simply does not die on my shieldgate gloom build and her damage is just insane i hit a lvl 9999 demolisher with 2.147 billion damage with her first ability on top of that i did the lvl cap run solo with zero deaths
This frame is absolutely isane for high lvl
Nourish garuda>>>>
@@giles.9862 Gloom has superior sustain
@@giles.9862 I've used both Helminths on her and they're really good, can't go wrong with either ^_^
@@giles.9862 why? she has infinite energy and you can put viral on your pets or guns anyway? Gloom is practically a 100 stun on all enemy types and heals you 100% of the time
My only problem with Equinox, as a Equinox player, is that it needs some adjustments to numbers and how stuff works.
Why the 1 buffs aren't permanent to that form?
Why does the damage vulnerability from 2 buffs enemies speed?
I hate how the Power Strength buff from 3 has less value than Jade's, while Equinox has to pay a toll for any skill used by an ally, when Jade only activates it and can keep it up as long as she kills.
I hate you can't build the two forms at the same time in a effective manner.
The rest is fine/good imo, but these make me mad.
This ! And her 1 is not permanent AND also decays overtime.. like whaat is it to force us to switch form constantly ? Okay but then why her 3 must be recast every time we go from night/day ? And why we need to use the augment to keep our stacks on her 4 ? I like Equinox but her kit is kind of contradictory
@@lesneosuper-zero1693 Yeah! And the augment for her 3rd slows down enemies like Gloom in her Night Form... but you have to get hit by enemies to slooooooowly build it up, enemies that are being actively slowed by that very same 3rd ability and thus will shoot you less the more it builds up *facepalms*
My favorite thing to do with Qorvex is I bring him to tridolons with my friends. He isn't the best but his 3 and the fact it's refreshed with rad allows me to completely ignore the magnetic proc from the eidolons when they go down
Great video! I think were pretty much spot on, and it's great to see Yareli slowly but surely getting into the spotlight!
The only reasons I haven't tried Equinox are A) Farming her is an RnG NIGHTMARE and B) I haven't seen any interesting updated guides for her. So I'd like to see you make a video for her.
Also, on your last note, I have a suggestion for a video, tho it's not top 5 list or tierlist: I'd like you to make a video just generally discussing all the Warframes with complex and active playstyles that require a lot of thinking and strategizing (Ex: Lavos, Vauban, Dante?, Ivara? etc.). It doesn't have to be about whether they're good or not, just talk about them in general. I think that'd be an interesting video.
As a zephyr main I thoroughly enjoyed the video
What's your go to build with her ?
i see more people talking about qorvex and zephyr than equinox tbh^^
as a yareli main: yes she is underrated and people always laugh when i say shes a better gunslinger than mesa, but i dont mind^^ yareli is just insane, free crit rate, reload and firerate for secondarys enable so many amazing builds
btw, with merulina guardian, its healing can trigger archon intensify, to make sure merulina takes damage, i use combat discipline, bc from its trigger, merulina will los 9 life and yareli 1. the trigger order when killing an enemy affected by seasnares is as follows: merulina gets healing from gloom, merulina loses hp from combat descipline, merulina gains healing from merulina guardian, archon intensify triggers from this healing
i have a similar build, but my only energy sustain (despite also using gloom) is streamline+equilibrium, so i can use arcane avenger and the one that gives base dmg. i think velocity and merulina guardian is a slight overkill on firerate and i rather have innate priming with secondary encumber instead of going merciless. for those of us that dont have PSF i recommend Aviator for another 40% dmg reduction (while riding merulina, yareli is airborn)
This was great. I don't know about underrated, but I have tried to tune out the noise of negative opinions more and just having fun. I had 2500 hours in game and quit for 3 years. Now I'm back and having so much fun learning what I've missed. There is so much variety in frames these days, and some more varied content to try, most frames will be viable in 80% of the content. Most of the time, you should just play what YOU like.
zephyr will never not be underrated, she may not be the easiest frame to understand but she can put in some crazy work once you know how she works
Like she really isn’t as straightforward as she lets on but that’s what makes her so great is her extra mechanics and nuances, even if the casual warframe player may steer away from her due to her extra little quirks. Definitely a super well rounded warframe that anyone should pick up
It’s equinox, always comes in as one of the least used frames, and always scores low on tier lists, yet I find her to be one of the best nukes in game, and has a power str buff.
Alternatively I feel like nyx and valkyr are also up there as they can literally switch on infinite grey health bars, which is a pretty nice and relaxed playstyle.
6. Nidus, super powerful and great survivability, whole kit is useful, been a nidus main since day 1. But since his prime came out, I have yet to see another nidus, and youtubers never even mention them when comparing or analyzing frames
I’ve been a Nidus main since I started playing years ago, and even after my extended break. I didn’t know we were real.
Just started using Yareli myself, she is NUTS with the Ocucor, sooo much fun literally W + M1 until the mission's over LOL
As a Qorvex main I approve
I freaking love Garuda, I main her and Chroma for years. My only problem with her it’s that I get one shotted on high steel path mission but her infinitely stacking damage on her dread mirror with the befit that the explosion goes thru wall make her so satisfying to play.
And funny enough my best friend is like the only Yearli main I ever saw.
As a Garuda main I can confirm that I rarely see any other Garudas in the team. In stuff like surivival I'm just sitting in the middle with 280% range constantly nuking entire room while teammates are asking in the chat wtf is happening xDD
So underrated
Trinity, i think also underrated. I use a low duration high strenght and moderate range build to nuke rooms. Use the helminth thats called "Marked for Death", i spread viral procs and then use energy vampire on the marked enemy.
Suggestion: Lavos. I've mained him ever since he came out, and not only do I use him for every mission type, I also use him to figure out who is bad at learning a Warframe because they call him trash without even trying to look into why he is the way he is. I can sit still in SP for as long as I want (granted without Jade Eximus) just from his armor and Arcane Grace
same. he is so fun and good at everything. he is a crazy good weapons platform with valence formation, can fully prime corrosive and viral, is an incredible tank, and can nuke with his 4 ( if you prime the enemies first)
@@Qwlett Exactly. People overlook or trash talk him because they just don't understand how to use him, or because you can't just spam abilities/press one button to wipe a map. The nuke is a little treat you get for doing a good job imo
I recently tried Vauban and I really like how different he is from Protea, but they're both engineer-like.
Oh and I'm also a Zephyr main 😀
I see a fair bit of zephyr around still. I have a big soft spot for her since she was the first prime I built back when I was a new player
I am Birdframe_Prime and I support this message.
Zephyr is roughly 36% of my play time.
And the whole ‘reputation affecting pick rate despite updates’ entirely applies here.
I saw a video for Garuda with Nourish which gives her Dread Mirror and Seeking Talons Viral, replacing Dread Alter and using Molt Reconstruct to heal on using energy. It's been a blast to use.
Yeah, Blood Altar is pretty much meaningless if you have Molt Reconstruct. I think i saw that same video lol
When i unlocked steel path i sucked ass. Gave Zephyr a try and everything became too ez
4:00 garudacan offer team support with voracious metastasis where you can constantly output energy to teamates as you will always consistently lose hp
So, I’m a new player and have Excalibur, zephyr, volt, harrow, and nekros. Which would be the best for me to focus on? I am almost halfway through the star chart.
Equinox is super underrated. Her cc is so strong she puts the player to sleep.
Zeyphr has a bug with target fixation where if you proc arcane steadfast and switch to operator you can run around with zeyphr on the floor without lossing her target fixation stacks as long as arcane steadfast is active
Equinox does need some tweaks, even her passive of being a 10% equilibrium is times worse than something like dagaths +300% efficiency on orbs. Dante's LoS nerf made her actually relevant again but she does struggle with survivability. Just wish her 4th would deal a slash proc on explosion, however, that'd just be Garuda's 4+1 combo :D
Atlas is so underrated that he didn't even make the list

@@giles.9862first frame that came to mind 😭
@@giles.9862 revenant isn't overrated though. all of his abilities are completely busted and he's the best tank in the game. overrated would be more like excalibur, saryn, titania, rhino, and ember
@@Always.Smarternone of them are really overrated though. Saryn is a phenomenal weapons platform (kinda overrated as a nuker though), absolutely nobody is rating Excal as higher than maybe B, Rhino is basic but his kit just works lol, Ember has improved greatly since the recent rework, and Titania is a phenomenal mix between mobility, damage, and survivability (also by far the best frame for Circuit)
Even on an underrated list, Gara remains heavily slept on.
I am so ready to learn!!!
Love Qorvex mained him after he came out but have been trying other warframes as of late. Never knew people were saying he wasnt good I completed my first solo netracell run with him.
These are all great frames. Garuda's always been a favourite, but she was even cooler when her strength scaled inversely with her remaining health. i too am grateful for some different Yareli fashion and...wait is that Smart Systems?
I've been using zephyr for a few weeks now, definitely my favorite Warframe I've played
My friend mains qorvex and is an absolute fuckin unit glad to see some love for the concrete man
I have done so many endless runs with pogostick zephyr one shotting entire rooms. Especially in the SP circuit.
I’ve been a Qorvex Stan ever since his release. Bro cooks.
I main Zephyr shes so awesome. Got a TON of usage once the blast rework came out and shes in a ton of blast builds now. The movement is awesome and she has good CC.
Idk about you but I’ve been hearing people give big sloppy toppies to zephyr on RUclips. My top under rated pick, who has become my fav recently is dagath. I’ve hardly ever seen her in lobbies and when I tried her with her augment I turned her into my version of the Varuna kulervo build, but she also buffs other weapons not just melee. Somehow it also seems to bug something to the point where I can sometimes make my melees permanently do -2b damage. I just love how she buffs weapons with all her abilities while the abilities can also be used to nuke by themselves
I think the main reason of if a frame will be a big hit outside of damage is the fact we have a ton of crowd controle frames and with the eximus overguard crowd control does nothing untill we break it and new players dont have the set ups or damage to fight that, so what becomes the best frames are frames that can overguard, if the eximus overguard dident just full immune crowd control but instead just weakened it i feel way more frames would be viable
Video-idea:
work through your 2024 frame tier list and frequently release build videos with a few setups you enjoy using for most of the current go-to content - basically what you've already been doing, sort of. Just more 😂
I am a qor'vex main and proud he looks, sounds and feels awesome and not dying because he refuses to is just sweet!
Amazing man 🔥
Vauban and qorvex are literally my favorite Frames… this does bring a tear to my eyes
Keep sleeping on Gara
Try to use GrindHardSquad's Wrecking Wall + Arcane Battery build, the arcane gives him stupid amount of energy max, and walls resetting pillars timer allowing you to not to worry about the duration, is so liberating, so you can just run around and slap everyone silly with concrete slabs.
Qorvex is one of the strongest frames against murmur. He can delete enemies even in elite deep archimedian ( except for murmur). And you didnt mention it but the topaz archon shard's ability damage bonus on radiated enemies was pretty much made for him.
I stuck with yareli for a long while even when she was feeling sluggish to me, now I have a new build I gotta make for her
I wanted to love the Chernobyl frame but the one thing keeping me from playing Quorvex is how obnoxious the giant floating bricks are when you casts his 3. Warframe is already 'visually noisy' enough as it is (even with a tweaked UI), that design just bugs me and I wish I could just ignore it but nah
Been using zerphry on steelpath for a long time now bc she’s so easy to use .. as long u got energy u will survive anything
I stand by zephyr being great especially in open world and is my go to for anything related to sniping or defense and an alternative for mag’s pull
Zephyr mains rise!
Yes Zephyr Prime is slept on and it’s CRAZY that you ranked her 2nd. Because just last night I woke up to how to REALLY use her abilities and her natural floating in combat while I was playing her frame and it was so impressive that I decided to focus on her as a main. Damn I LOVE Zephyr ❤😍
P.S using her with a Sniper is SOOO much fun 😅
3:20 edit: slow damage build up unlike more recent ones like gyre but you wanna know what’s the nail in the coffin for any frame in this period of warframe?
Massive self damage + no cc + slow damage build up
NEVER put three of them on one frame they require significant investment to fix Not saying, you should never make another Garuda ifact I would prefer if they change the Era of warframe we play in and bring back the value of supports so people could justify bringing her to a mission
But even back in the day, this is pretty much what killed her I don’t wanna be doing self damage in a game where I take damage from everything she can go to level cap like all the other frames but again the separating difference between good in bed frames is the amount of investment required to make them good
2:59 yes, it has and I’ve played Garuda back during her release…. She was good at the time, but now she’s below average I’d even say a bad opition due to her defensive tools being lacking and her needing time to build up her damage… in this very uncomfortable Era where every new warframe release is self-sufficient and have no wind up time do damage back in the day you had
Support
CC
DPS (casters and weapons platforms)
Now you have quite possibly all of them wrapped up in one and her name is Jade🌚 like seriously stop releasing stuff like this it’s cool, but it’s not unique she can do everything with very few weaknesses
I don’t wanna call her bad because I feel like that’s rude but she’s just not aging well if that makes sense she was released in a time on the philosophy for warframe was different but honestly she could really use some CC like desperately that would be significant but she’s not so bad that she needs a rework but I will say I rarely see a Garuda in a squad
Some of the mentions feel more like because they are situational or because there’s others that can bring something similar with less of a hassle with the other players, specifically in case of Garuda and Vauban cases. Vauban still carries the stigma from way back when his sole purpose was to lock down an area with bastille and not a whole lot of content creators tried work around his changes publicly to change that perception. Garuda suffers from something similar to Valkyr when all people used her was for her kitty claws and war cry melee focused build, her area of influence is small and the healing, for the longest, made clearing def and interception bothersome as the trapped enemy used to count towards those wave clear stops, on top of people being able to make use of other frames that can bring not only stationary healing but other benefits makes her value not that high imo.
On Qorvex case, people sleeping on him specially after Jade Shadows introduced Arcane Battery. The augment for the wall also made it so that you won’t need to bother with green archon shards that much, making him a better weapon platform than before. I reckon the two major reasons people don’t like him in the group is because his immunity adds visual clutter and the chaos caused by radiation status proc can be less than desirable for some builds, which in turn makes him less desirable in comps because he can be disruptive.
Well, disruptive can be said about nekros as well, when fighting in orb valis you can sometimes be a huge pain in the ass while farming for something or doing bounties because you can’t fire through your own shadow’s nullifier (and artic eximus) bubbles still.
Another one I don’t see all that often are Titania players. I mean, outside people rushing captures for relics. Her circling buff doesn’t need a player to actively go and touch the after mark if you still have your pixies flying around as they can activate them and the status immunity on her 1st ability is really nice.
Zephyr is broken as fck. She's my new main from like a year and all I see is red crit and lvl 600+ dyung from 1 meele hit because of her passive and extra rhino roar/nourish buff. Slap primed sure foot on her, some juicy archon shards and you have a very few things that can actually damage her. However i think im gonna try your build too :p
Zephyr has got one of the dumbest a augments in the game. It’s on the first ability and it’s dive bomb attack, every enemy hit with it increases damage with it by 100%, this stacks infinitely and u only lose for being on the ground for 2 seconds however u are zephyr and can just float about anywhere. I was using it a few days ago in arbitrations and got up to 200,000% extra damage, safe to say that the random corpus crew mate didn’t stand a chance
Garuda has been my favorite since she was released. So much slash so much bleeding 😵
I saw another comment saying this but Qorvex's innate punchthrough makes him a decent weapons platform and makes me like his 2 even more, since it's grouping, but it's grouping in a straight line, meaning I can take my Kuva Karak and obliterate a straight line of enemies. Tons of fun
atlas last i checked he was the lowest pick rate in the game but with a bit of investment he can be not only a 1 shot machine but he can also be one of if not the best solo farming frame
A haven’t played equinox since like 2017 but she’s always been a personal favorite design wise
I've seen a few Zephyrs and yea I did enjoy Vauban recently when I started playing again, but I needed his frame slot >.> .
Zephyrs really good I did a long steel path circuit with them and lasted ages
Equinox is slept on so good also can provide additional strength for allies ( which is definitely the most unused ability of her kit)
Damn, i am playing zephyr right now. Forgot she is underrated. I love my bird girl
There are lots of great frames that don't get used much. Perhaps do the list of best DPS frames or worst war frames. Best DPS probably Saryn, Rhino, and Mirage. But other frames are right up there.
How are you hitting red crits with your abilities? Or did you just change the colour of those damage numbers?
I don't really agree with subsuming breach on Zephyr. Yes it's a very strong ability and synergises well with tornadoes but she already can spread the damage so it raises a question if double dipping on that is the best play. Ofc everyone has their own playstyles but subsuming Eclipse or Roar for weapon/element damage, Terrify for aoe armor strip, Wyrd Scythes or Nourish for Viral stacking, Thermal Sunder with augment for even better AoE clear etc. can feel better in higher lv content and help you get more dmg on your loadout. Great video though!
Vauban is sooo good bro I've been trying him out lately definitely my top 5
For garuda I don't think that her damage doesn't really drop off since her 1 stacks a percentage of the max health from the hit enemy in her orb, and since holding the orb key stacks damage depending on the amount already present it basically scales of enemy lvl
(Correct me if I'm wrong about something tho)
Also thanks for showin my boy vauban some love 🥹
Because of her weakness to eximus and laser thrax, silence is easily the best subsume for Zephyr
He might be not underrated but he is over hated, Limbo in my opinion has one of the most strongest kits in the game with the wrong crowd. Limbo mains will understand this and show why Limbo is worth your time and not just a Trollframe
Yes limbo has one of the best cc kits and with one of his augments he can get ridiculous amounts of damage and overgaurd doesn't hurt him as much as people say because last I checked stasis stops projectiles as well, the problem with him is the fact that he is as difficult to play as Octavia but hurts group play instead of helping it
@Confused_Slime yeah only the eximus abilities hurt you, so it's not even as bad as people make it out to be
Yes and he has this great passive that makes me leave the squad as soon as i see a limbo
Vauban my beloved, people dont understand his brilliance
Dude thank you Zephyr is so fun.
I am a garuda main, and yeah I agree, she is one the best nukers in the game really scales well on endurance run, I just wish DE provides more lore about her than being a dumped trash in a mining cave
Zephyr was the first frame I used in SP and it carried me for a hot min
I agree with everything on this list I think baruuk should’ve been on this list, he takes quite an investment but once you have him at his max potential he’s a powerhouse
