What frame(s) should I try?

[RadWords]

Newer player (~80 days, 360 hours playtime).  I've been really enjoying the Wukong rework, Nekros, and now Nezha (tanky frames that have ways to heal themselves if I accidentally take a big hit).  I'm trying to find a frame that works better in Interception/Defense/Excavation missions while still giving me that freedom to jump in and go crazy.  I tried the Gara build (2>4>1 rotation build) and am not a fan of it.  I'm crafting Nidus right now and hoping that he will be the answer I'm looking for.

Any other suggestions or ideas?

Inaros, Nidus, Mesa tank/dps hybrid, Rhino, and Hydroid would be a better one for defence and interception; throw down tentacles let mobs run into it and get tossed around.

You could play a different game all together.... 

I can't think of Any Frame that meets those standards.... 

Nezha is as good as it gets..... and that makes me cry inside. 😞

Frost or limbo are good defense frames

[-PLM-Waldschrat]

Nova with Molecula Fission, Oberon and Chroma are pretty tanky and have alot of usefull CC.

If you rely on self healing there are plenty mechnics in the game. Medi-Ray is a mod for your sentinel and Life Strike is a melee mod or Protective Dash from Vazarin. Later you can get Magus Repair/Elevate for reputation at Cetus and Fortuna.

Those heals with Vitalyity, Quickthinking are a good start for squishy frames.
