I’m still new to the game, and now, after playing exclusively with Volt, I find myself in a position where I can build Rhino, Nekros and Vauban.
I’ve heard the Rhino is good for survivability, but that hasn’t really been an issue so far, so that’s not a big seller for me.
Any tips or suggestions? I feel like it’s taken forever to get to the point where I could build a frame, so having to choose from 3 is mind boggling.
Nekros looks the coolest to me, so that’s how I’m leaning right now.
Rhino is a very powerful warframe, and can carry you through most content on the star chart essentially with just Roar and Iron Skin. Unfortunately, using Rhino as a new player tends to end up with using his abilities as a crutch and learning the actual systems of the game too late. I cautiously recommend Rhino.
Vauban is a king of crowd control, but he’s an energy-hungry frame, and as a new player your most reliable source of energy will be the Eximus enemies that ignore your crowd control. I recommend Vauban later on.
Nekros is kind of a one trick pony, but his trick is very good in a game where you farm drops. If your survivability isn’t a factor, I would recommend Nekros now.
All 3 are fantastic frames, but can really begin to shine when you have access to more powerful, specific mods (Corrupted mods from the dragon key vaults on Deimos, Augment mods from the 6 syndicates) and systems later in the game (Helminth for swapping abilities, arcanes for bonus effects). Nekros’s survival issues, Vauban’s energy hunger, and Rhino’s harsh fall-off in very high level content can all be solved with setups that you won’t quite have yet.
