What's your favorite melee frame and why?

[KaelubReece]

I think Atlas is by far the most enjoyable melee experience the game has to offer. He is tanky enough to not need a "God Mode" button, he is able to kill single targets or groups of enemies efficiently, and scales really well into higher end content (like sorties).

This is the build I chose to play with and it's a lot of fun. http://www.tennoarmory.com/warframe-builds/atlas/

What warframe do you enjoy melee'ing with the most and why?

Volt, nothing like razing through electrified enemies with a greatsword at neck-breaking speed.

[xXDeadsinxX]

Valkyr :)

[clemza]

Naramon because ... :X

[Dreadnaught75]

Saryn, nothing better than melting your enemy with Toxic Lash 

[jinxeverything]

Excal, i started with him so it's like an emotional attachment to him and it does not feel "right" to go melee only without him :D

 

[Maicael]

Different reasons for several frames.

Mirage is a nice 5-bladed blender. Usually use heavy weapons.
Inaros is a great tank which can easily gain health back with is 1 with finishers. Usually use daggers.
Ivara using explosive Glaive can easily kill groups, even Gunners/Bombards protected by Nullifiers in 1 shot (maybe 2 after an hour of void survival)
Loki because of the bonus damage from invisibility. Usually use Nikana Prime for everything else now.

Banshee... Don't ask me why the flimsiest frame is the best melee frame in the game, just accept that she is a savage

[Green-Bean]

I've found Excalibur with the Surging Dash augment to be very interesting, using a crit melee with my maxed Blood Rush.

any frame with the mios because staby staby whip whip

[(XBOX)Graysmog]

Limbo bro. Ground finisher damage for the win.

[PoisonHD]

Nehza, because... reasons.

[Kinetos]

Inaros and Banshee currently.

Have yet to test a Frost build I made after Thousand Cuts... 

Formerly Valkyr, but her abilities just aren't interesting anymore. She's fast and tough, well, any frame can be fast, and there's more to survival than just facetanking. 

[CrazyValkyr]

Valkyr. The pure rage-ball of melee madness. =)

[RagingGrizzly]

Rhino because of sentimental value :3 Everyone knows he's a melee frame :3

[DoctorWild]

Volt and Banshee!

[luigislam]

Wukong. He can use any weapon while staying extremely durable with "Defy" being active. He lacks crowd control but it doesn't matter if he can't die and when he just slaps everything down with your weapon of choice or with his personal built-in rod ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

[Cradicias]

Chroma, because there's nothing quite like getting a 440% damage bonus while having a 668% armor bonus making you nigh indestructible.

[lukshu]

I really love Inaros mechanic, but Warcry-Valkyr and Link-Trinity are much fun too. I still have to forma some of my favourite weapons to fit in Blood rush until I can go on real melee runs again -.-

[DatDarkOne]

Ivara, because she's mostly all I play.  Something about going invisible and mercing stuff with Nikana Prime or Galatine that is just so satisfying.  I'm getting to know Saryn now.  I imagine her to be quite fun for melee too.   

[ROSING]

Are you ready for it?

Equinox. I mod all my frames to be melee only if I can, but with peaceful provocation, steel fiber, rage, and lifestrike, night form equinox will never die. Keep pacify on at all times, sleep high priority targets to finish them off and you're good to go.

[ashrah]

equinox is my go frame for everything

[CrazyValkyr]

Just now, ROSING said:

I kinda... kinda do that too, melee in this game is so much fun. ;_;

[Error989]

Blessing Trinity with Tipedo (because blessing) or Excal with Tipedo (it's fun)

[(PSN)PillarOfWar]

A meat battery Saryn Prime with the life strike Ichors is my favorite for melee combo. It's the way I aways used my Saryn. I just like it.
