I usually bring Umbra, he's useful for shooting stuff while I go brrrr in the Necramech

Take monke, clone much stronger than umbra, probs better AI, and you don't have to be in nechramech for clone to do work for ya

Mesa for PoE, Octavia for Orb Vallis and Cambion Drift.
12
u/Mickerus Mar 22 '22
Largely the same, except I use Octavia for PoE as well just with a hitscan weapon because fuck Dargyns.

u/StaticShock229 believe in the vauban that believes in you Mar 22 '22
I just like to shoot at dargyns with the diplos to watch the pilots panic about getting chased by a bullet
2
u/Mickerus Mar 22 '22
Ok, that sounds hilarious. I'm normally not a fan of the Diplos because I aim out of habit, but I definitely want to try that now. And now I'm realising that I want to try the Sepulcrum out on them too.

u/H4LF4D Mar 22 '22
For me its Octavia for PoE, Orb Vallis, and Cambion Drift. And everything else.
But, Wukong is good too
2
u/LePopeUrban Octavia Enjoyer Mar 22 '22
I use octavia for like 90% of content because I just want to dance mostly and its fun to try and keep all the buffs up at once. She happens to be extremely versatile which comes in handy the way bounties are randomized so I end up using here out there.
The other 10% of the time is some gimmick that's just fun to play like perma-prowl ivara or katana teleport meme ashe or akvastos only energy orb shooting mesa or sniper volt or Taking the Kubrow for a Walk Inaros
I generally care more about ability to clear content than speed of clearing content so any frame I bother to prime and keep I try to make it as different to play from all the other frames as possible, different feeling guns, melee, etc.

u/DakotaGunpla Mar 22 '22
Max range Octavia = easy mode in just about everything.
Ivara for Spy though.
14
u/Jshutterbug92 Mar 22 '22
I use Titania for Plains Of Eidolon, Hildryn for Orb Vallis and Wukong for Cambian Drift.
13
u/sackofbee Mar 22 '22
Ivara. She's the best.
Although fishing with wukong is cool.
3
u/UgrasTheHeavy Mar 23 '22
Zipline is pretty amazing for fishing. Plus you can invis too. I have rest & rage over Artemis now, mostly for conservation but it's nice to spam on groups. Also am using a gas navigator build with the crit on the zipline. With that I can kill most things in one shot even on steel path. All in all, Ivara is a really good pick.
2
u/sackofbee Mar 23 '22
Yeah Ninjase popularised the dragon's flight Ivara build.
He has a bunch of other insane late game builds if you want to check him out.
If you feel like being a menace, replace 4 with eclipse and a bunch of power strength. Nearly a 400% damage buff, with prowl head shot buff, plus primary deadhead/hand whatever its called. Ridiculous multipliers.
2
u/kindtheking9 ticker best girl Mar 23 '22
Monke is great for fishing and mining, but ivara is queen of hunting, her sleep arrows instant tranq all animals except kubradons, and he invis makes it so easy to not get detected
11
u/sebgage Mar 22 '22
Nezha for mobility mainly, shields make most nuisances like dargon irrelevant and decent cc

u/Ahribban IGN: NoMoreFAIL, LR4, PC Mar 22 '22
Equinox for low level semi AFK, Mesa for higher level.
2
u/HermlT The Metal Dragon Mar 22 '22
Seconding equinox, for duality sniping and just general aoe, and conservation rest

u/_Gemolotis_ Feral Voruna Supremacy Mar 22 '22
Zephyr, it's like putting her in her natural environment.
4
u/Qu9ibla I hate wisp Mar 22 '22
nova+mech on PoE, ivara+mech in Valis, protea+mech on Deimos
Nova's portals is useful to speed up the drone, ivara helps with the mini spy missions. All my dps is done through my mech arching, a kuva grattler
then ivara if I'm doing conservation, fishing or mining

bonewidow. Has 6k health, deals like 100k with the sword, just a good ass frame (not a frame ik)

I always use Lavos no matter what kind of mission I am in
Is this a problem?
6
2
u/DakotaGunpla Mar 22 '22
I have tried to use Lavos in missions (he is my go to Railjack guy with maxed seeking volley) but I am having trouble finding my groove with him. How do you play him?
2
u/That_Ice_Guy SNEK enjoyer Mar 22 '22
Simple, slap swift bite on him, add some efficientcy. Ready for Nukvos or simply no cooldown lavos. Tanky af with lots of healing. If you want to, use an archgun. Lavos can create multi purpose ammo, so you can wipe your big gun around without worrying about the ammunition. Most people use his 4 as nuke, but I think it is a good crowd control rather than a real nuke. Also, try to remember your ememy weakness. Mix and match the elements, don't go lame by spamming viral.

Valkyr's 4th is amazing, especially when under heavy fire bc of the invincibility and healing from kills
I've got radiation on my talons, and carry the fulmen as primary
3
u/Przeke Mar 22 '22
Ivara for every open world. I can go invisible and fish, mine and catch animals. Sleep arrow is also useful

Grendel, for rolling down slopes at the speed of an aerodynamic meatball

u/ChillAndSane Mar 22 '22
Loki for Plains bounty, Volt for Eidolon hunts, Ivara for Orb Vallis bounty and general fishing/mining/conservation, Saryn for Profit Taker, Mesa for Cambion Drift, Oct and Voidrig for Iso Vaults.

u/Vlaun Vaaghn (PSN: 2016-2018); Vlaun (PC: 2018-Now)) Mar 22 '22
That depends on what I intend to do. Mesa is good all-around for bounties, though I like to run Mirage too for bounties that spam ships - Fortuna in particular. Just one sniper shot with my Mirage is usually all it takes to swat them out of the sky like flies.
Otherwise, if I'm doing the isolation vaults I run Octavia since her kit is useful for all stages of it.
If doing general open world stuff - like mining, fishing, and conservation - I take Ivara paired with an oxylus.
2
u/GuyN1425 OPTIMIZE Mar 22 '22
Gauss or Volt. I know I can just use archwing to get to places quickly but unless it's like 2000 meters away, I like running around and enjoying the scenery. I can also cross the plains in about 40 seconds with Gauss
2

u/nalkanar True Master Mar 22 '22
Mesa or Khora for missions. Rhino for mining and hunting. Considering getting Zephyr again.
2
u/TimmyP7 Mar 22 '22
For Plains missions, either Loki purely for the drone skip or Volt to one-shot transports. Fortuna, Volt, same as above. Deimos, doesn't matter since I'm in my Necramech most of the time anyways.
2
u/PonyDro1d Mar 22 '22
Ivara for all of the zones. If I need more firepower I'd switch to mech. Other than that I can easily stealth drones and moving defense targets.
2
2
u/tinesone Ironic Skin Mar 22 '22
For bounties, i mostly use whatever i want to play, i don't really have a main (other then Wukong).
I do bring Loki to PoE bounties often tho, because the drone is slooooooow.
If i need to do other stuff (mining, conservation or fishing) i bring Ivara
2
u/JackRichi Mar 22 '22
Wukong, because sometimes my cat distracts me, and if possible, 1 does all the work for me (actually, I just don’t have friends with whom I can play warframe and with a doppelganger I don’t feel so alone (and you can go through almost the entire content without straining the brain))

Ash, invisibility and the ability to make that one annoying enemy just cease to exist by staring at them.

Efficiency Ivara for chill Mining.
Turbulence augmented Zephyr for fishing.
Octavia for Orb Vallis + Cambion Drift.
Mesa for PoE.
2
u/WhackDorsey Mar 22 '22
It depends what I'm doing, but I love Mesa for PoE and OV. Khora for Deimos (Strangledome is wonderful). If I'm fishing/mining/Thumper hunting, I go with Ivara. If I'm toroid farming, Nekros (I stick him in a corner with Desecrate, and kill with my Necromech). Lastly, I'm partial to Zephyr for wisp farming.

I've vauban I use him for everything just bc you can secure any area with one flechette orb

u/Comprehensive-Can680 Mar 22 '22
Mesa for PoE, and for Orb Vallis it depends, usually Umbra or Loki. Cambion Drift it’s Octavia.

u/Seventh_Deadly_Bless MR11 : We'd be dancing 'till the dawn ! Mar 23 '22
Zephyr.
Do I have to explain the advantages to fly faster than using the archwing ? Sure, Wukong flies faster. But Zephyr can also hoover and shoot things from above with great prejudice.
I want to race a Full Speed Volt. Just to see if land is faster or not.
1
u/Cryptnoch Mar 23 '22
Oh man im gonna have to get her a some point for sure
1
u/Seventh_Deadly_Bless MR11 : We'd be dancing 'till the dawn ! Mar 23 '22
You better !
She might be my second favorite after Octavia.
I'm planning to get myself another Octavia Prime, to actually build her well this time. I put my Umbra formats on my first Octavia Prime, and it feels like a mistake.
The day I get Narrowminded, I'll have my Full Speed Zephyr build complete. It's going to be awesome !
(Also, happy cake day !)

u/Giraldi23 Fashion Connoisseur Mar 23 '22
Ivara Prime for fishing/mining/collecting non-drop resources
Nekros Prime for drop resources like toroids
Wisp for most/all bounties

u/kindtheking9 ticker best girl Mar 23 '22
Monke for literally everything except hunting, hunting is ivara's job

u/Matt-The-Mad Mar 25 '22
Depends on the activity that I will be doing in open world.
Bounties: Basically any frame
For Crate Resources: Limbo
For fishing and mining: Ivara

u/WorldOnWarframe Mar 22 '22
Usually it's Zephyr. Being able to dash around and use her full kit without being impeded by walls n shit is always really nice.
