Who was YOUR favourite Starter?

[@dlcjohn1075]

Mag is a good one for veteran players but Excalibur is probs better for beginners

[@verycoolgary]

volt

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Mag has crazy endgame potential, yes :D

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Like the man, too ;)

[@detectvdumyay6611]

My favorite was nezha. He was so easy to get, so easy to learn, fun to use and i use his prime still at mr 10. (ngl i thought this meant early game as in you can get like an hour in mb)

[@nottheguru]

You forgot the most important reason to pick Mag as your starter: passive Vacuum with no pet needed.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Very good point :D

Volt was my first frame, way back in 2015. Although I use other frames, I still go back to Volt as my go-to frame. He was my first. You never forget your first.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

True ^^ That's why my Umbra has gotten nice fashion from me xD

[@jon82987]

I chose Excalibur when I first started about a year ago and played a few hours during a slow season of Destiny 2. Picked it back up a week ago and am now at MR6 and have ZERO regrets with picking Excalibur. That being said, I picked Volt for the Duviri quest, and he was definitely fun.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Happy you're enjoying the ride 😉 In this case, no need to question your choices ^^

[@Darlf_Sevil]

Them you see like some 2h play mag oneshot boss and make herself imortal :p

[@Vic-ww8cg]

Volt gang, I'm glad I picked the fast boi because he's still integral in my playthrough at 300 hours played

[@mutexgamex6082]

Personally. Id say volt/Mag. Volt because I love him, and because clan requirment (saves the stress of clan necesities early game for a very fun frame) Mag because you require Jupiter and difficult resourses to get her. Dont choose Excalibur as you can get him almost immediately regardless

[@lilien2321]

I picked Mag. She was good in missions and dealing with amount of enemies, but I struggled with killing bosses and get over junctions.

[@strix460]

I picked volt as my starter because he’s good at running relics really fast for prime parts like captures and exterminates

[@Tomatosaladz]

I remember Loki being a starter frame.. worked hard for volt only to then stop for a while and finding out that Loki was removed from the starter frames and replaced with volt..

[@patrickshade3844]

Volt wasn't that hard to research tbh, but I guess it entirely depended on your clan at the time

[@Weenie2273]

Volt was always my starter even when I first started the game its just faster to clear statcharts plus he's pretty reliable on any team his state boosts are dope

[@ren880t9]

I like how I’m watching this even though I’m mr 22 and own all the prime warframes and some of the best weapons in the game.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Happy you enjoy watching anyways ❤️

[@NotoriousNickNorris]

Indeed. I'm LR1, own every prime frame and weapon. I watch these vids to see how I can better help other new players.

My friends forced me to pick mag but I'm glad they did cause I really enjoy the playstyle. I am a good 150 hours and MR11 and I love playing caster frames.

[@NotoriousNickNorris]

Regarding the two versions of Excalibur... I don't recommend giving up the basic version. Keep both as they are different enough given mod polarities. Let Excal regular follow the usual path, and the Umbra, follow the Umbral path. (If you know what I mean. 😉👍)

[@alena_main]

Hello, thank you for your videos! I'm a newbie with no experience in games, 2 weeks playing Mag and I love her very much! )) Your videos helped me to understand some features and I have a good build for me and my weapons (I like melee the best) for now, just opened third planet )) Thank you very much for gorgeous expansions! 🎉❤

Hey, thank you so much for your awesome feedback :D I'm happy that you're enjoying the game and that you hsve found the right Warframe for you ^^ I'm really happy that you found my videos so helpful. Hope you'll get a lot more enjoyment out of the game 😉

[@Rubobin]

Mag is so underrated, the vaccuum is overlooked so much, it makes for an amazing choice early game! needless to say it was my first pick.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

I agree. In 2024 Mag is more viable as a starter than ever ^^

[@ruphus02]

[@MythicalCS]

Same volt FTW

[@blaze3495]

Loki.. I chose you as my starter Warframe.

[@thelastgekko]

Volt personally. It helped me understand mechanics needed for the later, more difficult content. Movement in this game is beautiful, Volt promotes the use of it. But im bias.

[@casualgamingauraous2345]

I picked Excalibur Because back then I knew nothing about the Game and saw his name and went “Oh Sweet a Swordsman!” But yeah..still have that same Excalibur in my box as I roll around mostly in Umbra and Nidus Prime now..But certainly have lots of good memories of Excalibur through the years.

[@spookymage8040]

I started with mag and love her to this day i dont remember when i started but i believe somewhere between 20-13/14 maybe

[@redparadox2765]

for me excalibur was the best starter... played on playstation years ago when i friend got me into it. when i moved to pc as a solo player i tryed mag.. she was super fun to use in missions but the boss fights was a pain to do on her so i farm excalibur and had no problems. as soon as a got gara unlocked she became my main because of how tanky she was. big skill issue on my side because am not good at shooters. imo if u are not good at shooters go excalibur untill u find a warframe u like.. thats just me tho

Exalted Blade goes brrrttt

[@animo9050]

Hi, I'm someone who chose volt as a starter frame and acquired an Excalibur a few planets later in my progression and my recommendation is that you should definitely go with Excalibur, he's just so much easier for everything when you're a new player regardless if it is survivability, damage or quick CC, a great all rounder. When i finally acquired my Excalibur and took hik for a spin I found that his abilities were literally perfect for a newer player who did not have access to all the fancy mods and simply needed a great jack of all trades that could handle itself while they progressed across the star chart, he gives you a good wife area damage and stagger, a great exalted weapon to do damage (and if you put in a small new player friendly investment you can get the chromatic blade Augment which makes him a whole lot better in the damage department) and an amazing CC that opens enemies up to finisher attacks after blinding them. Oh and did I mention he looks hella cool?

[@RandomFandomOfficial]

A good wife 😂 Is she hot?

[@Luke973T]

Good points. I picked mag in 2013 because magneto is one of my favorite characters. Dropped the game quickly. After being disappointed by mass effect andromedas multiplayer (i played countless hours of me3s multiplayer) I saw someone in a thread mention warframe as a good alternative to the mass effect multiplayer and i came back in 2016. I struggled with her until post second dream when i could go crazy with her abilities. Frost prime and rhino carried me to the mid game.

[@MadamApocolips]

Volt is always my favorite starter, but mag is a pretty decent starter as well. Especially when as a new player i didnt get a new frame UNTIL the sacrifice. I am now L3

pro tip for those who want volt but not be in a clan: volt prime exists

[@whynotgaming6891]

There is a game that i really like and i think u should play it, its called warframe

[@maulmemes]

If you're trying to be good with your Mastery XP, starting with Volt is a good option because he's the only starter Warframe that needs clan research to get his blueprints.

[@nathanjohnston9762]

You have to join a clan to progress anyway. You can't have a railjack if you don't have a dojo. You can't do a bunch of the quests if you don't have a railjack. Plus you'd miss out on a ton of easy resources if you didn't have one. And there's plenty of established clans that will take a new player, so the clan reason shouldn't even be a thought. But take volt anyway. It's the best starter just because shock is so spammable and long range. Also it homes in on targets around corners and through doors. It's also silent and doesn't break stealth.

[@maulmemes]

@@nathanjohnston9762 You don't need a Dry Dock in a dojo to get a Railjack. You can do it through Relays no problem. (unless they took it out recently)

[@BigRagaRbx]

First time playing Warframe, and it seems like mag is the best character for me!

[@FelipePrietoHome]

I hope someone sees this comment. Mag is the best. Pull is the perfect level 1 ability. Long range aoe damage that clears everything in front of you. 2nd ability is essentially a big damage buff to melt tough single targets. Eventually you will get into ability 3 and 4. Ability 3 if one of the best debuffs in the game. Ability 4 is overshield essentially. But it also does great damage. Mag is the big brain pick. I have all three and mag wins every time.

[@curts7801]

Making a new account for iOS soon. I love the idea of Excalibur, a fast moving space knight that slashes everything with swords, but his base appearance is VERY meh. It’s a latex suit with a nose horn. Umbra looks amazing though, looking like an actual knight. Mag has a better appearance. I really hope that Pull and Crush can carry me through, as those actually look cool. Edit: Mag is very forgiving if you dislike shooters, or like but royally suck at them. Pull yoinks everything that’s on screen over to your melee range. Pull, walk forward, slash. Easy. No real aiming necessary. Magnetize helps the shooter haters too. It’s hard to shoot a skinny little dude, throw a bubble onto him, and now it’s FAR easier to shoot a bubble. It’s gun play without the aiming. So that’s one more thing to consider.

[@noahedenborg4221]

for me volt is best because of his versatility early on and plus mag and excal are from planets while volt is from clans

[@NoStLinuxGaming]

I chose Volt and I haven't regretted it a single time. I don't use him that much anymore (aside from some specific game modes), but it's definitely great to have him in your arsenal. Mag is a great warframe that certainly requires some skill to play well. I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I enjoy playing with her quite a bit. Excalibur is honestly one of my least favourite warframes. I don't' think I ever used him after leveling him up to MR30. His improved version is a bit more fun to use, but, when it comes to melee-centered warframes, I prefer the others (for example, Garuda). I'm glad you're keeping your beginner guide up-to-date. They really helped me when I started the game. And I hope they will keep on helping a lot of people get into this gem of a game. :)

[@KILLSWITCH14FP69]

Try out kullervo he's a great melee frame he is absolutely broken

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Aaaaw big thank you for your kind feedback, Bro ❤️ I can totally see what you mean. Excal can do Steel Path later on (as can everyone else) but you are right in that there are objectively better melee options. I'm also hoping I can get a bit more into Volt and Mag this year. Especially Mag is way up on my to do list ^^

[@NoStLinuxGaming]

@@KILLSWITCH14FP69 Thanks for the suggestion. I still haven't done a lot of stuff in Duviri aside from completing the quest and doing a single run of the Duviri Experience. I'm planning on farming for Kullervo later this year (I still have 16 warframes to get). :)

5:30 well i started with volt and volt's shield makes u immortal vs ranged so its the same, i press3 ->i throw a xoris-> detonate it and thefight is over.

[@corbo2765]

Its Mag by far in my opinion . I've just made a second account and chose Mag this time. My god once you get the basic Warframe mods, she makes the starchart a joke. Also has great survivability due to massive overshileds and also makes junctions a breeze with her 2nd. Absolutely loving mag on my new account.

[@nathanjohnston9762]

You get mag pretty early in the game, though. By the time you have the mods, you'll be able to build a mag. Volt is deadly out of the box and far more useful in the early game. Volt can force stealth by spamming shock. If everything is stunned, no alert can happen. And shock is silent, so it won't draw in more enemies. Basically, volt and mag have the same starting damage potential, but volt is more useful before the true potential of the frame is reached. Excalibur is hack and slash easy mode. Just keep slide slashing to win. I do not like it, but then again, I was forced to have it as my first frame because my account was started before this game had a story.

[@corbo2765]

@@nathanjohnston9762 I respect chosing volt but I would still rather mag. It's all your preference.

only downside is that she's not good against infested, u get no shields

Can you comolete all gane only with excalibur? I mean i hate confusing systems and etc, and excalibur is my fav since as child i completed dar sector multiple times... And play style with it is what i like, bo overthinking, press and shoot

[@NalkCZ]

Back in the day I picked Excalibur. Still have him. Wanted Volt badly, but back then starters were Excalibur-Mag-Loki. Excalibur sounded most universal, Mag sounded too magicky, Loki rogue-ish. It kinda worked. I loved Umbra, but I got him after I returned to the game after some years, so I did not play him as much.

[@jeanlasting5467]

No Loki?

[@nathanjohnston9762]

I'd recommend Volt. Shock costs very little to cast and takes out 6 enemies from a ridiculous distance until later on. You can spam it forever. It doesn't trigger enemy aggro if you're in stealth. The speed buff is useful for the whole game, and will save a lot of time getting to extraction. Excalibur is boring (and I didn't get to choose my starter because my account is OLD, so I was suck with it for a long time), and mag doesn't have the versatility or energy efficiency that volt has. Volt is the best starter mechanically. Excalibur is for people who want to slide attack all the time. Mag is an excellent caster but requires mid game mods to work properly.

[@elementalcabbage3691]

If you are a brand new player. Don't watch this video. Just pick who you think looks cool. The video also has spoilers for the main story so be careful. All 3 starter warframes are fun to play and by the time you need to chose frames based on strength, you will have all 3 anyway.

Archon shards are from weekly archon hunt, netracells, and khals garrison, which are all unlocked after finishing the new war (apart from Acrithis in duviri which only needs leveled up opportunity intrinsics)

[@Nienna_Asyare]

Arcanes I get like mods nowadays, and if I’m ever after a specific one (and don’t know where to farm it) I look it up on the wiki. That is to say you’ll probably get a bunch passively through playing the game. As for archon shards, there are weapons and frames listed forth at are boosted for each hunt - either using those or your best builds tends to work

In my opinion volt is the best starter when you wanna feel like a strong character the volt speed feels very nice even with just some beginner mods The shield gives a noticable damage buff and with the change that it doenst drain energy when carrying anymore just makes it a good ability to start with And the ult while not being very strong without the right build it still nukes normal starchart enemies that a beginner should face so up to lvl 30s and most importantly it makes you feel badass because lightning=cool

[@RBRSC]

Excal: Pros : Simple to play and understand Cons : Exalted is the only started channeled ability, and one thing newer players absolutely suffer from energy economy, and supporting a constant drain is rough. Also the EB requires its own resources in mods and possibly Forma. Again straining new players even more. Also while Excal can blind (most) things at short range, thats about it for his defensive abiities so he can be rough from a survival standpoint. Volt: Pros : He's also pretty basic to understand. And he has a lot more versatility then Excal. Cons : He's billed as the damage dealer and he's not actually great at that, especially early on for various reasons. A newer player will definitely run out of energy chasing this ghost idea of a nuking Volt rather then a support frame. Mag: Pros : Mag is the only one of the three that can heal. She also is the only one that has a counter for shields and armor which will become important as a mid-game starts to set in. Cons : Also very energy hungry. And her abilities are kind of complex to understand and/or described poorly.

[@RandomFandomOfficial]

If a new player does their research, and knows what to trade for to do an energy build… Excal’s energy problem basically goes away. I’d prefer the slow drain over a single cast taking away larger chunks of energy. I gain energy by merely existing with my build. 😂

Curious but with most of your videos, I've seen you with Excalibur. So if it's okay to ask, from one Excal main to another. Are there any tips on a good build for him? I'm currently using a pretty fun chromatic blade healing return build which is pretty fun.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Hey, good question ^^ To be fair, I wouldn't consider myself an Excal Main. I just run him in the videos because he's the Posterboy and I love the fashion on him xD With Excal, there are really only two main playstyles. Exalted Blade and Slash Dash. Fir Exalted Blade, just like you said, the Chromatic Blade Augment is a must. The rest us up to personal preference really... For Survival, both Health Tanking and SG work. For SG, Diriga with Manifold Bond and Guardian is your best friend ;) For Helminth Subsumes there's a lot of possibilities aswell. Kullervo, Roar, Nourish, Gloom and many more ^^ I would personally build arpund the Helminth Ability bc Exalted Blade doesn't need all that much Strength to be good ;) As for the Slash Dash Build, Brozime recently made a great vid on that ;)

[@atlaslyle8206]

@MHBlacky_ENG I did see that video and might try it. As for the points made. I will keep that in mind while I build more things around Excal! He's still one of my favorite frames in the game, and I just love his kit!

[@RandomFandomOfficial]

A good energy build means you can use the Exalted Blade as your main weapon basically… and it’s very powerful and can go through walls.

[@veryentertainingnow2724]

the sole reason why I choose volt as my starter is the fact from his kit I could 1.shoot lighting (super helpful in early game since it barely takes energy) 2.speed cuz speed 3.shield has saved me alot of times and it's kinda fun to pick it up and place it anywhere 4.about to die? why not die with everyone?

It would have been interesting if you had made a comparison of the way those warframes avoid bullets. Excalibur blinds enemies so they don't shoot at him, Volt creates the shield and Mag can hold 2 to do that and also absorbs all the bullets she can and returns them to the enemy

Love MH Blacky but this video is never going to be needed VOLT is and always will be the best starter!

[@oseiholder5303]

I enjoyed playing mag and how do you get synth deconstruct? I have diriga already.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Either Fortunsma Bounties or as drop from Corpus Capture targets 😉

[@multiversal_guardian7079]

Excalibur's simplicity is exactly why Umbra is the only Frame I really use, aside from Ivara Prime for stealth. The most "complicated" thing I have for him is the Furious Javelin augment, which is pretty damn simple. Use Radial Javelin, more enemies hit the more attack boost you get for a short duration. Simple yet brutally effective. Other than that I basically never use any other Frames. I will collect the Primes, but I will never use them.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

As long as you're enjoying, that's perfectly fine ^^ The Radial Javelin Augment is good indeed but I left it out in this vid because people just starting will take quite some time to get Augments xD

[@multiversal_guardian7079]

@@MHBlacky_ENG i know, and that's entirely fair, it's just an example of him still being mostly simple even in late game, with a few augments being exceptions that require slightly more thought than others. And it's not like I bother with Steel Path, so I'm not really forced to push too far beyond where I'm currently at in power for the time being. I'm mostly just enjoying the story as new bits of it release, and occasionally doing light grinding for Focus, as i do want to eventually max them all out and get each one's banner from Represent.

I picked volt, for no particular reason lol

Doesn't want to spoiler new players in the Excalibur part. Proceeds to show it later in the video 😂

Volt hands down

Uh... maybe don't show the operator in a new player video

Seconded

Best starter guide so far👍

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Aaaaw thank you ❤️ Happy you found it so helpful :D

[@27-nguyencaotien54]

Hitted on mag cuz i wanted some actual challenges Jk, mag is just op for mid to late game all on her own, which is just lovely cuz i dont have to build extra things too much

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

If you enjoy her, then you did everything right ^^

[@Darlf_Sevil]

You wana say on all game Right ?

[@ziehe666]

I picked mag, honestly a mistake. My experience was a serious cripple early game... Yes I know mag is an Atier Frame, but she is not new player friendly.

[@JurgenBlitz]

It might vary from player to player. Having a 2nd ability with 2 casting modes might be confusing but I actually found her incredibly easy to use. I've been playing since late december last year, I have 9 frames now but she remains my fav.

[@cmaxbs]

@MHBlacky_ENG Do you have a new guide on how to increase MR fast? i actually got some ideas on it I have a MR 5 account and in mastery breakdown i have 6k for Warframe, primary, melee and 5.2k for secondary and 3.4k for missions but most rank exp come from 37.5k drifter intrinsics and it got me thinking if playing Duviri could be a way to rank up your MR fast (im not sure because i play in Duviri a lot so it make sense if i got much rank exp, but still is there any chance that Duviri does indeed give u a lot of exp) And while on the other account once im at MR 7 and in 1 day i already rank up which usually took more time and its just because im playing railjack, i actually dont own railjack yet but i just join as a crew and for this one im have feeling it does make u rank up fast and actually for both account MR 5 and MR 10 both has most MR exp from Duviri (for the MR 10 the top 3 most exp is duviri (43.5k), melee (43k) and last is railjack (31.5k) and no i still havent got any railjack i just join as crew) well i hope if it works this will help and maybe if it not i could get some guide about it or why it happens P.s sorry i typed a lot i tried to make it short while trying to give clear explanations

[@GrimSwag]

Max(master) every frame and weapon you can get your hands on. Always keep building new frames and feed them to your helminth after you’ve maxed them. if you really like a frame get its prime version. You should always carry a weapon that you haven’t mastered to keep gaining MR, once it’s maxed sell it unless it’s a material for another weapon. Archguns, archwings, voidrigs, railjack and intrinsics all give MR. Max those out as well if you can bother to hunt for them.

[@GrimSwag]

Once you’ve mastered a frame or weapon/equipment you no longer gain MR from it. this includes clearing a mission for the first time, you don’t get more MR from repeating the same mission .

[@zangetsu5221]

​@@GrimSwagop isn't wrong that duviri and railjack intrinsics give a lot of mr. Leveling your starting gear and doing like r 5 across the board in both will get you to around Mr 7.

I’m so disappointed I picked the wrong frame when I started… I didn’t even know I could farm other frames until like MR7 maybe

[@FlameMaster876]

Which one did u pick?

@@FlameMaster876 The one that wasn't right for me, however I'd still recommend that one to many newer players but above that I'd say to pick whichever one looks most fun!

Excalibur - For people who are new to games similar to Warframe Mag - For people who know games similar to Warframe and want the experience Volt - For people who wanna taste power fantasy

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Sounds pretty much on point ^^

[@Darlf_Sevil]

Do mag is so hard ? Click 2 shot oneshot boss Click 3 or 4 and make you, team and deff point on full hp. Who say you need know combo betwen 2 and 3 ect

[@micahdavis3013]

This is sort of off-topic but do you think its better to go solo or with teams. Ivr still very new and have been running solo but dont have any friends to play with. Is it viable to run the whole game solo? Can i do that?

[@lyuiskhanter7771]

You deffo can but honestly don't it's better to have people in ya games they can help you zoom through starchart and some bosses can be annoying on your own so in the grand scheme play with people till Ur geared enough to play solo

[@zomb3567]

I think at the beginning it’s better to play solo. If you have random wukongs blasting through your missions for you then you won’t get to learn how some missions work, and you will have way less resources since for new players a lot of your resources come from just breaking boxes and stuff. Also while for someone who’s played a long time it’s better to speed through missions, for new players it would just feel like they aren’t getting to play the game.

[@friza3162]

its possible but you still need a mentor i think, i found really nice people in public

[@brother_sothoth]

Maybe the first couple of missions are better solo, so you can get your bearings without others being a distraction. But imo warframe is built for cooperation. Things, barring spy missions, tend to be much more manageable are enjoyable with pubs or even friends if you can find em. I'll say this: expect solo to be more challenging than multiplayer, but expect multiplayer to frequently have high MR players speedrunning the mission with a thermal sunder Titania prime or something stupid like that, killing everything before you even load in.

[@joedoe7572]

I saw somewhere once that Umbra Excalibur is worse than base Excalibur for some reason. Is that true in any way?

[@recepyigitbas9411]

Yes, because when swicthing to operator all buffs prior to the switch has gone just because of his passive ai controlling. İt just deletes buffs without reseting cast timers. Was horrible for me at least.

[@bartofii]

I'd imagine it's largely related to how the AI acts when you opt to use operator/drifter/transference out.
