Frames For Sorties?

[Typhimurium]

Lately I have just been using Loki P and Excalibur. What I'm wondering is if frames like Ash Prime have a role in higher level sortie missions because I'm looking to find some new frames to play with

Frost is super useful with any Defense based mission (Defense, Mobile Defense, Excavation)

 

Valkyr can be useful for Survival or Rescue

 

Ash is good for increased armor sorties due to Bladestorm being Finisher damage.

 

Just to name a few.

Looking specifically at Ash Prime's viability in Sorties, I will say that he is highly viable, with Blade Storm dealing significant damage to even enemies with augmented armor due to Finisher Damage, and additionally he can also strip an enemy completely of its armor via the Seeking Shuriken Augment, use Teleport to finish off enemies, or use Smoke Shadow to offer some utility within a team.

 

In terms of survivability, Smoke Screen and the invulnerability phases of Blade Storm is more than enough, and Arcane Trickery to go invisible when casting Blade Storm is also highly recommended, especially in Corpus Sorties, as the invisibility from Arcane Trickery is not disabled by Nullifier bubbles.

Very broadly...

 

Ash: Good vs Augmented Armour and Augmented Shields; make friends with a Savage Silence Banshee and/or a Radial Finish Excalibur

 

Atlas: One Punch Man.

 

Banshee: 700,000 damage against Augmented Armour Grineer. Or alternatively sweep enemies into a corner with Sonic Boom.

 

Chroma: Not sure

 

Ember: Good vs Physical Enhancement; be a gem and bring Firequake

 

Equinox: Good for Infested Hive missions since she can blow up 95% of Tumour Nodes from the middle of the room

 

Excalibur: 4 + EEEEEEEEEE.....

 

Frost: Spam Snow Globe and Avalanche, Chilling Globe optional

 

Hydroid: Max range, duration and efficiency and bring him to Infested Mobile Defence and Defence. Works against Grineer and Corpus if a Radial Disarm Loki is present

 

Ivara: Solo Rescue, Interception, Exterminate, Spy, Survival

 

Limbo: Good in Rescue and Spy missions; otherwise good in groups that rely on ability spam (since ability damage affects enemy outside the Rift)

 

Loki: Master Race

 

Mag: Augmented Enemy Shields? YAAAAY

 

Mesa: Damage 'Frame; works well with Limbo, Frost and Ivara

 

Mirage: Works well in groups that understand the benefits of not killing enemies in Mobile Defence and Interception missions; otherwise, another damage 'Frame

 

Nekros: Life Punch and good in Survival missions

 

Nezha: Mobile CC Tank with team Status Removal

 

Nova: Slows enemies and provides great protection (and damage) with Antimatter Absorb

 

Nyx: Mind Control is awesome, Chaos is awesome and Absorb is awesome. Great alternative to Frost

 

Oberon: Smite and Smite Infusion is great against Grineer and Hallowed Ground is a god send versus Elemental Enhanced Corpus (i.e. immunity to Radiation procs from Detron Crewmen)

 

Rhino: RAWR!!! STOMP STOMP! I'm a DINOSAUR!!! RAWR!!

 

Saryn: Damage 'Frame; Great versus Physical Enhanced enemies.

 

Trinity: Jank 'Frame. No viability whatsoever. Don't bring to Sorties.

 

Valkyr: Did you say, "Melee Only?"

 

Vauban: Bastille and Vortex makes Vauban a great CC 'Frame for any Sortie.

 

Volt: A viable counter to Extreme Cold's movement penalty; works well for Defence, Mobile Defence and Hijack missions

 

Wukong: So far as I've seen, he's a Tank 'Frame.

 

Zephyr: Turbulence is strong against Corpus and decent against Grineer missions that include Eviscerators, Napalms and Bombards.
