Looking for synergistic, ability based Warframes

[(PSN)JoIhnnyRage]

I really love Saryn. I love how all her abilities are useful, synergize with each other, and allow her to play the game completely different from other frames. Harrow is another example. Really well designed skills that allow him to play a different more active game than other frames. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other frames like these?

I suggest trying out Nidus. His abilities work together really well.

Banshee is solid with her skill set. Her abilities all focus on the use of sound. Her 1st ability can strip armor as well as knock down crowds in front of her. Her 2nd ability paints the enemies weak points for higher damage (there is a mod that furthers this as well) .Her3rd ability allows her to go silent as well as stun enemies that come into the range of her silence aura. Her 4th ability while nerfed a bit back can still do major damage and either lock in place or knock down large groups of enemies (there is also a mod for this that allows her to cast it and keep moving.

Her 1st does not strip armor as base. That's an augment. Also her 4th was always garbage and always will be but it was the augment that was nerfed not the ability.

You could give Oberon a try, Health regen and variety of CC options makes jumping into the fray quite fun / survivable,
for synergies you've got Radiation procs upping Reckoning damage, Hallowed Ground adding Armor to Renewal,
and not least the Hallowed Ground + Reckoning combo that removes Armor.

Not super-synergy-heavy but Mag is another Frame where I use all abilities all the time,
plus it's just fun to yoink enemies all over the place with a high-Range Pull 😄
(Similar deal for Sonic Fracture yeets on Banshee.)

Nidus:

✔️ abilities have meaningful interactions with one other
✔️ scaling damage
✔️ has excellent self-sustain
✔️ soloing content is a breeze
✔️ managing mutation stacks is "interactive" like maintaining spore stacks

Nezha definitely qualifies. You get some synergy between his Blazing Chakram and Divine Spears...

Theres also.... Limbo.... If you build around Rift Surge you will be surprised how well his abilities work together... specifically for combat.... However this is an advanced build... not easy to pull off....

I also Highly Reccomend Garuda.... definitely alot of Synergy with both her Abilities and Helping Team Mates by cReating healing stations and debuffing enemies.... just watch out for Wisps and Oberons.... she Anti-Synergises with those Frames...

Can you expand on this? I've never touched Garuda after leveling her but she seems interesting...don't want to piss off teammates by accident though.

Her Passive Increases her Damage Output based on how little health she has left. At 2HP she deals 100% More Damage (don't know how this damage is applied exactly)....

If you wonder accidentally into Wisp's Vitality Mote then you can find a pit you csn jump into to remove the effect. 

But in the case of an Oberon's Renewal you're pretty much screwed for the entire duration of The Mission.... I mean you could ask that player to turn it off. But:

A) They can just ignore you... which is what happened to me last time I played Garuda....

Or B) is it really fair to ask someone not to use Their Warframe Abilities that in any other situation benefits the rest of the squad ? 

Atleast Oberon is not really that popular.... mostly because he's an energy Whore.... but the probability of running into a Wisp is pretty high.... Damn those Thick Thighs !!!!

I said it can, I just forgot I had that augment in place so thanks for reminding me. I didn't say her 4th was OP'd just what it can do.But endgame it falls off.

I’ll have to try Nidus. Limbo is pretty sick but I wish his skill 3 would activate on kill. He’d be so much more interesting, though very annoying for teammates.

[0_The_F00l]

I am surprised no one mentioned Octavia, 

Then again, it is Octavia, her synergy can cause migraines at times depending on your volume levels. 

Nezha is already mentioned, 

Limbo can be a little weird to get used to, 

Wisp has very good synergy, 

Baruuk... Can seem anti synergestic but needs to be played with clear understanding that he has two modes where you need to actively turn abilities on and off for maximum effectiveness. 

Wukong is less synergestic and more complimenting I would say. 

Revenant is highly synergestic, but you will usually not be able to tell in squad play as it depends on thralls that usually end up dead before you can make full use of them. 

Garuda was already mentioned. 

Hildryn too... I personally dont like her kit. 

Oberon is already mentioned too. 

Then there can be synergies due to using the right mods.

Harrow.

[Methanoid]

synergy based warframes in general arent very good given the time required to use all the abilities in the right situations which is not that useful in a fast paced run and gun game, saryn is unique in that she isnt sat there doing nothing useful while synergizing her abilities, her 2 best abilities that synergize both trainwreck mobs with far reaching damage.  Other warframes..... not so much.
