Having a lot of diversity in gameplay has always been a good point on Warframe. Being a power fantasy game, most content can be done with almost anything if you know how to use it and the tools you can use.

[@technoultimategaming2999]

This guy is the reason I grind other warframes. I don't really care about meta. I just wanna make every warframe steel path viable

Bro honestly please make this a series!!! With frames, weapons, specific build combinations that aren't "meta" and not a lot of people use. Super fun way to play around with stuff and finding styles you enjoy the most!

[@Discount_ed]

Oberon is expensive yeah but when he works, he is so satisfying and massive dopamine hit with his 4👌

[@hammerheadcorvette4]

The fact that they finally fixed his augment ( I spoke to Pablo on Twitter about it several times ) and it now does quadratic damage is so refreshing.

[@topnott_4767]

I had to literally tell someone I don't care about what they think is fun (when talking about voidrig vs bonewidow, as I'm currently grinding for bonewidow) because they were just 100% focused on what's meta, effecient and that's what they find fun. The fun i derive from the game isn't always gonna be the same as yours, so if you see someone playing a frame you don't enjoy, uses a weapon with an alternative you think is better, or is just generally doing something unoptimally, leave them be. Of course if they're looking for what an optimal build is, or what the best tools for a specific job are, go ahead and let them know! Just PLEASE don't try to gatekeep fun in warframe, it's a game for everyone and people like different things.

[@celestialkitsune]

So true. I am curious though, you mentioned grinding for bonewidow, and were discussing voidrig vs bonewidow. Which is your favorite? Cause for all one knows, you might've just been after mastery fodder for bonewidow, and prefer voidrig. Or they could've been saying voidrig is better, but you prefer bonewidow.

[@Legendaryrobot64]

Exact reason why Loki is still my 3rd most used frame only after my main and former main. Quick missions, rivens challenges, incarnon unlocking, fishing, mining etc, I wouldn't think about bringing anyone else other than him. His kit has certainly been showing its age for a good few years since DE started making more frames with multi-purpose abilities, but he still feels great to use.

[@A_Ataman_N]

This. Loki is till this day my most used WF (+/- 6 years of gaming) along with Soma prime as primary and Scoliac as melee (guess it's because of meta of the past) :D For a reasons u exactly described. "Just slap max duration possible and do those chores mind-set".

[@hallowfiended]

I use Oberon for Archon Hunts, and he's actually a supreme frame for those if you build him correctly: - Smite with Smite Infusion is a massive damage buff to you and your squad. Plus it's Radiation which is effective against the Archon's Alloy Armor. - Hallowed Ground to prevent knockdowns, status, CC the adds the Archon spawns, and give us a pinch more armor with its Renewal synergy. - Renewal to heal, yes, but also to LITERALLY PREVENT DEATH with Phoenix Renewal. Which is very useful in an one life no respawn mission. Did I mention it extends bleedout duration? - Eclipse subsumed over Reckoning, with the Total Eclipse augment to extend the buff to our allies. We all know how good Eclipse is. Pair this with some strength, Rolling Guard to prevent even more deaths and Brief Respite to keep your squad up and DPSing. Yes, this build is a bit gimmicky due to the triple augments, but it works like a charm.

[@tapirdebain]

Ivara is underated indeed! From Endless survival to Archon 2-hit Hunts, not even mentionning Spy, she scales really well as long as you accept a more relaxed playstyle. Broberon does work, for all intents and purposes, but I find doing SP missions with him rather painful. He can do them, but more often than I would like, I find myself having to go in FFYL mode because an adaptation stack dropped, which isn't great for a tank. I'd love to see some number tweaking on the fairy king. Maybe lessening the energy strain a bit or improving the damage on Hallowed Ground and Reckoning could do him some good. Chroma works better than people give him credit (no pun intended) for, but I have to admit that he's very clunky to use. He's definitely on my list of frames that could use a rework, if only to make it so that his kit doesn't remind me constantly of the old days of Warframe. Hydroid comes fist tho, which is fortunate since DE seems to have FINALLY decided to look into that. I personnaly try to vary my frames and weapons often, but I do have clear favourites, including Ivara, Limbo and Vauban.

[@proximityclockworkx1572]

Frost still needs a rework, not more augments that are a mandatory install for functionality. The base frame need to be steel path viable, without augments. Biting Frost should be the passive, and the overguard should be the baseline functionality too. His augments are buffs, not augments. And since the base is lacking, you need those buffs to even survive or deal enough damage. By taking those mods, you are restricting your build because augments take up valueable modspace. DE always seems to forget that augments supposed to AUGMENT abilities, not just straight up buff them.

[@facundoc602]

[@themarkktv]

A thing I like to do is randomize a loadout, then go solo on a void fissure. It's a good way to reconnect with older frames you might have forgotten about.

[@jackgamer6307]

Ivara is awesome if you're doing anything but conventional "kill/defend thing" missions. Dashwire can be great for fishing, as you can walk above the water. Sleep arrow is often a better tranq rifle. Prowl is great when you don't want to be harassed by enemies while doing other things. Navigator can let you guide sleep arrows to targets flying away if you messed up a capture. Built right she can oneshot archons too, tho a kuva hek is needed to do the actual shooting ..and that's not mentioning spy missions. With the augment, you can do any level spy mission effortlessly. I admit it's not the fastest, but it's almost guaranteed to work if you don't bump into a scanner drone

[@TheCoLDKanadian]

For the archon thing I've found that the Felarx does it better due to how dumb Xata's Whisper is with one of the evolution perks. High strength Ivara with subsume Xata's whisper and the Felarx makes archons a complete joke.

Oberon is a classic frame. You are not the only one who likes him. I love Oberon and have several different builds for him. It's just that there are many frames and Oberon has been around for a while.

I got tired of Warframe again, but I still keep up with these videos anyway. You have a bit of that old energy the old YT crew had when things like Kuva Liches came out, and it's a hit of nostalgia. Maybe in a year or so I'll come back and play again.

Ayyy shout out to my girl Ivara. She became my most played frame because of how many different tasks she can do herself. She can do Spy Missions easily, Archon Hunts easily, or high-level Survival runs. The fact that she can use Glaive or even Stropha on an Empowered Dashwire is great. You name it. Heck, you can even Navigate a Sleep Arrow to catch wildlife. She's like WF's resident Batman or something. And also shout out to Oberon too. I don't use Chroma as much anymore tho.

One of the most satisfying things in this game is watching the frame you one trick that got ignored for so long get an insane buff I've been playing frost prime for years and this happened recently I got so excited the day it was announced, not to mention due to the changes to icy avalanche he technically has 2 shield gates

[@derpy_mushroom531]

I remember when I first got Nova, I hated her, and ditched her quickly. Then I got Nova Prime, made a point of learning the kit, and now she's my favourite frame. Sure she's not good at everything, but she's good enough for me, and that's all that matters

When arbitrations dropped, it made me want to use a lot of warframes.

Then, when duviri and circuit dropped, I pretty much always have a good built frame ready for the action. This is one of my proudest memories since I play this game. If you're reading this, give a try to that frame that's getting dust in your arsenal. It might surprise you. ;)

I've always said with both Warframe's and weapons, that it's more about the mods rather then the actual frame/weapon itself.

Hell even MK1 weapons can do insane damage if modded right, which I think is the beauty of Warframe's modding system.

So when I joined WF loooong ago I played very close to my roots as a stealth player so Ivara is and always will be my go to stealth frame. If theres ever a mission I don't want to seen in its always Ivara, and even her downside of "being slow" is so easily mitigated with proper movement. Is she as fast as if she was uncloaked....no....but you can still schmove. Also, on my account I have every frame as I like to have variety and thanks to creators like Mrwarframeguy and his meme builds its caused me to look deeper into frames and find some genuinely fun playstyles I may not have checked out. The world really is your oyster now in warframe with 50+ frames, helminth, and archon shards to the point that anyone can find their favorite playstyles and potentially rival a "meta" in preformance.

Another one I've been loving is Nekros his kit has a lot of synergy with gloom and omg it's so much fun. I never stay past 30 mins in steel path because I get burnt out, but recently with Nekros I almost made to a whole hour and I was so happy. Warframe is truly about playing how you have fun.

[@TheGuppies27ESF]

Man am I glad I got Ivara. Being able to 2-shot archons is great so the hunt doesn't take super long. The gameplay for her of just being a gremlin on her dashwire is nice and chill, and I can also use her invisibility to res or just help out my friends. She's one of my favorite frames I just gravitate towards playing, maybe it's just how chill her kit is.

With oberon if you run quick thinking, rage, nourish and the healing arcane with abilites you never run out of energy or health

[@Demonwalkerproductio]

Fun fact you didn't mention for Oberon - Renewal is NOT centered on YOU. It's a zone placed in mission. Meaning, your teammates don't need to be in your range immediately when cast, and it lasts infinitely. The only downside is, if Renewal is nullified as an effect on you, you can't just run through the zone again to reapply it. You need to recast the ability, which robs the rest of the team of your renewal. Upside, though, you can put this zone ANYWHERE. Which means you never have to worry about it getting nullified if you're smart about where to put it, and that doesn't even mean always putting it out of the way for teammates to get.

[@spiritwildfiregaming1975]

I usually play Gauss, but sometimes I return to my Volt Prime that I've had and used since 2016 when I started playing. As weird as it feels to not have high running speed off the bat and being knocked by everything, I've played Volt so much in the past that at this point it gives me comfort. For bonus nostalgia points I've made him look exactly like how my original Volt did with the starter pallette and my first Syandana while wielding a Paris Prime as Paris was my started primary. In any case it's not as efficient as my Gauss with a Kuva Ogris, but it's fine nonetheless.

[@RaheemDublin]

Oberon uniquely can trivialize Defense and Excavation. While Wisp can give both of these objectives health, it's just pure health. Oberon's armor buff gives mad EHP to these objectives making them very hard to kill.

[@TimesOldRoman]

Honestly, trying to play with every weapon and warframe this game has to offer has got to be my best decision ever. I've made specific "loadouts" where I color some warframes and weapons the same color, and I force myself to play with that set (That all started from the "Signature Weapon" mechanic, which I believe to be one of the more fun mechanics in warframe, that might push some players to experiment with a warframe, that might not be meta levels, but good enough, while the weapon is strong). That might sound quite weird, but honestly, I've come to love almost every weapon and warframe there is except for certain passive ones, like Inaros, Loki and Hydroid (Lord Pablo please deliver, I am waiting with bated breath for the Hydroid Rework). I simply like to be active with my abilities, and drenching the entire room in a cumjitsu of radiation, corrosive, heat and viral as Lavos has never been more fun. I even made Trinity into a death machine with helminth's Marked for Death. I always was a bit of a hater for the meta strategy, but mostly because I am playing solo basically all the time I am not cracking relics, so for me it is kinda pointless. I strongly urge people to experiment with stuff! If they wish to, that is. Because what is fun for me will SURELY 100% not be fun for everyone else. But picking up and dusting off a warframe you haven't used in a while, taking a weapon in the furthest corners of you arsenal-wardrobe and even taking that damn Wyrm Prime for a walk outside is, in my honest opinion, worth it, because who knows, maybe you've missed something? Maybe it could be a bit more fun to punch your enemies to death with Atlast, infused with Pillage for the ultimate punchage, while having Korrudo as a boost and an emergency tool to spin kick your enemies to Pluto and back? I know killing stuff is the biggest point of the game at this point, but maybe it shouldn't be 10000% overkill everytime. Maybe building Wisp for her 4 might be more fun for some, rather than boosting your speed and health into oblivion. Again, not forcing anyone to do what I recommend, it is just what is fun for me.

I make it a habit to collect the prime of ever warframe when it’s released, and I’m caught up so far, so I’ve played with lots of different warframe, and have modded them for lots of specific playstyles. For Ivara, I typically use her when I’m doing conversation Hunting or Spy Missions, I use frames like Frost or Gara for long defense or mobile defense, and of course I enjoy supporting friends occasionally as Trinity or Harrow. That said, more often than not, since I play on bad internet, the warframe I use more often than is the God-King of The Desert Inaros! Since I have to play a lot of time Solo, I enjoy being to play at my own pace with tons of survivability!

Just yesterday I crafted Inaros for the first time. Even with my incredibly limited mods and Arcanes, I easily got him up to almost 3k HP and like 600 Armor, if his Abilities weren't what they are, I could absolutely see myself running him all the time in Survivals or Open World for his survivability. But even then, I had a Harrow Prime in my inventory that I crafted and got to 30. . . really just for the Mastery. I didn't like how I needed to constantly use his abilities on a rotation and even beyond that, I didn't really have a chance to use him all that well since I originally got him around Jupiter where the mobs weren't dense enough for me to really feel like I could stack up his buffs and get a good chunky Critical boost from his damage negation, however after watching your Harrow video I decided to come back to him to try him out and now he's a mainstay in my gameplay. I still most of the time use a one button win condition like Khora with Strangledome, Mesa with her Waltz or Volt with his 4, but it's been a lot of fun to stack his Shields high as I can, or watch the Red Crits roll with his 4. Definitely glad I gave him a second chance.

I recommend coil horizon on oberons 1. Build just enough str to full strip and have the augment for his 4 and he melts with pretty comfy sustain from equilibrium. Plus archon stretch while not being alot is still extra energy rec. I use brief respite just because his 4 is a spammable strip nuke that generates hp-energy and has enough cost to shield gate. I use 2 cast speed and 3 tauforged duration shards. Molt augmented and energize arcanes.

Duviri also helped reopen my eyes to many guns and frames that I just level to 30 and binned or left to collect dust.

An Oberon Main's Desired Rework: Passive: Grant All Allies, Frames and Companions, Armor, Shield, and Health-Link, as well as one free instant revive per mission. Ability 1: "Aspects of Nature" Rotate between 4 togglable (channel) buffs: "Bear's Claws": Increase Armor, Weaponry gains innate Slash damage, Slash Procs hemorrhage enemies, dealing additional bleed damage and drop Health Orbs. "Eagle's Talons": Increase Shields, Weaponry gains innate Puncture damage, Puncture Procs hinder enemies, slowing their movement drastically. "Ram's Horns": Increase Health, Weaponry gains innate Impact damage, Impact Procs knock enemies away with immense force. "Rabbit's Foot": Increase Sprint and Bullet Jump Speed, Weaponry deals extra Elemental damage (no effect if weapon does not have elemental damage), enemies affected by elemental statuses have increased loot drop chances. How Lucky! Ability 2: "Hallowed Ground": ·Increase base Range and Duration, cast in a 360° around Oberon. ·Change Radiation damage to Heat, and add Thorns that deal Slash and Puncture damage to enemies. ·While standing on field, Renewal grants full health targets Overguard. Ability 3: "Renewal" ·Allies that come within Oberon's Affinity Range while Renewal is active gain the buff. Ability 4: "Reckoning" ·Innate Armor Shred ·Drops Health Orbs upon damage to enemies, instead of enemy kill ·When combined with Hallowed Ground, Damage is doubled and DoT statuses on enemies are triggered in one burst.

Its easy to get caught up in the meta and power gaming, when the real key to enjoying any game is play it the way you want to.

[@GrimroseNoctis]

Ivara is my ultimate comfy frame. I run her with the Quiver augment and a high crit weapon then just vibe, she's also nice for relaxed (albeit slower) spy runs, and Cloak arrow is nice when running with friends who play squisher frames and can't/don't shield gate. Oh and Archon/Demo nuking is stupid fun

[@catburger8451]

Ivara, Oberon, and Equinox are genuinely some of my favorite frames ngl

[@gustavomartin2565]

Ayo he finally talked about mah boy, oberon. People underestimate him a lot. Some say his kit is outdated and I do agree in some ways (coff coff Smite coff) but he is a health+anti-status+anti-armor support frame and he does what he does well

[@canolathra6865]

For Oberon, unless you are specifically needing radiation damage (for archons/eidolons), you are better off subsuming Nourish over his one instead of running the augment. It doesn't cost you a mod slot and also gives you a much better energy economy.

[@0rderSol]

Chroma. Nourish. Hunter Adrenaline. Umbral. Adaptation. Everyone's Gangster until the Chroma face-tank revives and then melts the Archon.

beautiful video and a fresh new view on things! Makes me want to give Ivara another try

[@empiyrr2133]

Oberon’s iron renewal (armour boost) should have its base amount doubled because 200 armour is literally useless

[@yokidrink1665]

This is why I really liked grendel pre-buff. Everyone thought he was shit, even worse than inaros, but I got him to be a consistant powerhouse in steel path. With the buffs he is objectively better but I miss messing with his builds and trying out weird stuff to see if it works

[@clementfermn6711]

10:56 looking at that sweet sweet hydroid rework on the horizon

[@steeldarling5116]

This is me and Valkyr. I still need to retune my build on her, actually. Increase her range so I can use the augment for her 3, slap in some arching shards to make up for the lost duration, and boom.

[@SmoothTurtle840]

3:44 Personally, I use Molt Vigor over Molt Augmented since it synergizes with how Vex Armor works a lo better than Augmented. Temporary power strength is essentially infinite power strength if you can continuously recast Vex Armor. Also, I like to use Zenurik with Chroma, so I’m creating Hardened Wellsprings pretty often anyway. I do wonder how good Nourish is on Chroma though. I’d love to start using it, but I rely way to heavily on Spellbind for status immunity (especially for knockdown effects, which can sometimes cause you to not recast Vex Armor before it runs out).

[@DavidOtto82]

Great to see this instead of the boring meta videos ;D I love my max duation aquablade ash btw xD

[@chikapukaichou4386]

Out of all the Warframes I currently have. None can come close to the drip and comfort Ivara provides me when I use her, maybe at some point into the future, she might become my most played frame instead of Mesa who has carried me ever since 2018.

[@Shr12261]

I used to play conclave 1.0 all day and night long and my setup was Ash, Vectis, Marelok and ceramic dagger and to this day I got a full set up and I take it out to fast missions just for the memories even when the Ash build is just speed and hp/shields mod setup

[@akamanto7456]

You'll probably won't see this, but do you still remember what palette did you use for the accents on your excal umbra? I'm going insane trying to figure it out lmao😅 (8:57 timestamp for reference)

[@singletona082]

Oberon is my comfort frame. Objectivly Wisp is the better support. Putting an arcane on lets me heal everyone regardless of frame. and on and on and on and... I just keep coming back to the goat. He's been that nice old pair of broke in boots I wish i could get new insoles for years now. Thanks to the archon system I'd been able to sorta patch oberon's range issues and running a 200% strength 235% range build is just.... Nice especially with hallowed reckoning.

[@wesreegaming]

Yooo sponsor.🎉🎉🎉 Your are getting big

[@saticritatis2503]

I love ivara for eidolons, im able to sync the first lure with one vom. Had to record her in action, so cool.

[@AquatexZ]

I'm a pretty new player and I've crafted my own Oberon Prime, he is very expensive but god do I love him. Very quickly became my most used frame and I don't want to stop anytime soon. I find it funny because I didn't like like Saryn or Octavia or Wisp felt.. but Sevagoth and Oberon Prime? God they're too fun.

[@dwaynebrice1697]

Oberon with nourish... he crapped all over steel path. I was able to spam my final so many times with a massive armor buff

[@gamerx956]

In a perfect world every frame would have a use or niche, other then just being a persons favorite. If everyone is using a frame over another because they do what the other farm does, but better, i feel that DOES mean the left out frame is bad in some sense and needs to be look at and changed.

[@Kirielive]

What I find a lot is people think meta is the antithesis to fun. But some people think it’s fun to do meta dmg. The meta for the vast majority of WF doesn’t really matter as far as frames go unless it’s your hydroids or whatever. (They’ll still be one guy who says “I actually like using hydroid”) but the point is that unless your eidolon hunting, in high steel path or railjack it’s free game. But everyone wants to be special in one way or another.

[@lookalike4805]

I go Meta mostly to Avoid Tedium rather than Have Fun... I don't bring Kuva Hek to Archon Hunts because I think it's Fun... I do it because The Whole Ordeal is Shorter with The Kuva Hek.... Then I can use the Shards to Actually Have Fun somewhere Else.

[@jordanbuhler9442]

I use Ivara for all spy missions. I get her to max efficiency with 2 mods. Then equip her "prowl" augment, followed by Prime Flow and i go. I know its slow as all heck, but i like it :3

[@lookalike4805]

Why don't you just Subume Wrathful Advance to Teleport Passed the Lazers ? 🤔

[@Helperishere]

I played Mag before people started playing her more bc of shield gating. I play Caliban the most nowadays bc he is actually very good but HIGHLY misunderstood. He can nuke rooms at lvl cap with the sobek and his summons can do amazing smg on steel path with Nourish buff. I hope he stays in the shadows bc I dislike when people only play a frame bc they are good. It's a slap in the face to all of the players who play them for every other reason. It's like Wukong before his buff. Ivara is also one of the frames I enjoy playing. Specifically with concentrated arrow and ensnare.

[@davidlong1852]

To be honest I really just pick whatever frame I have more fun with it doesn’t even matter to be if the whole world thinks the frame is trash as long as I’m having fun and I can manage

[@pedrosantos3800]

Babe wake up, new NovaUmbral Upload

[@Catzillator]

Ivara… give her pakour speed and she will roll 50 m Oberon can use archon stretch and Gyre’s ball to gain passive energy

[@zoidsfan12]

Personally I play whichever frame I feel looks the best. Valk was my main for ages, only getting supplanted by voruna. My go to weapon is a pandero because it's satisfying to fan the hammer on it. I'm all style when it comes to Warframe.

[@stormeel369]

Not sure how true this is but I'm pretty sure i used to be the only ivara main from way back in the day (i joined around 2020 2019 maybe 2018. I believe i also got ivara within the same year of joining. I have spy vault layouts burned into my mind because of how times i ran vaults to grind for ivara). It's so weird now seeing so many ivara's now because even when i did randoms or go to relays i was usually the only ivara but now I'm seeing a huge interest in her. Before the energy changes i had figured out how to not only get the prowl engery cost super low i had also fogured out how to gain energy while in prowl (no energy gear things). Ngl it's so cool saying that i played and mained ivara (and still do cause of how easy soloing is) back before she was cool. Everyone thought she was garbo and bad cause of the other frames out there.
