Which frame do I use for War Within?

[Cyanidekiller24]

So I am stuck on which frame to use. I have tried all of mine and I have narrowed it down to, Ember, Excaliber, Ash, and Frost. Which one should I use. I have a pretty good World of Fire build, a very good radial blind build, a really good blade storm or lethal teleport build, and just all around crowd control frost (either ice wave impedance or chilling globe). Which frame should I use and which build should I use. Also Veykor Hek, Sancti Tigris, or Soma Prime? and Orthos prime, nikana prime, or galatine prime? Also sonicor or staticor? Help me there are decisions!

I use Excalibur Prime with the Dex Sybaris, Lex Prime, Sicarus Prime, or AkStilleto Prime, and I'm still at a loss for melee.

As far as being useful, the quests are never hard.

Frost. always go with frost. unless you have Frost prime then go with that. 

:P

Volt with a mk1 braton, lato, and skana. All you'll ever need.

[Demogarose]

First things first: ALL HAIL THE CORGI COMMANDER!

 

With that out of the way, here's my advice:

 

Don't fall into the trap of only ever using one frame!

 

Get in the habit of picking the best frame for the job, instead of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. For example, Frost is great for Defense missions, but you wouldn't want him for a Spy. Ember is great for low-level trash clearing, but doesn't do so well against tougher targets.

 

Picking the right frame for the mission and enemy type is essential to success the higher up you go.

[taiiat]

uh. whatever you like the most.

surely there's a Warframe that you use a crapload of the time because you just really love everything about that Warframe.
use that one. since that would be your favorite Warframe, and that would be the ideal choice to use for War Within.

repeat the same process for Weapons and Companion.

I will use my Rhino Prime, cause I used Rhino during the second dream (Also I love my Rhino <3 )

[KnightCole]

TWW?  This thread makes it sound like TWW is out now.

[CGs_Knackie]

Use your fav. ^^

Maybe I will use Trinity or Saryn or Exca or Nyx, I don't know yet. :c

[Zen64]

Completely up to you. Although, the movies will be built off of Excalibur's chassis, (This is what I've heard anyway, so prove me wrong if you can.) so if you're looking for no clipping, I suggest Excalibur.

Always use Frost.......because he's chill

buh dum tss

I actually disagree with this. In this case, nobody knows what to plan for, so a logical choice would be to pick something hes most comfortable with.

Playing a single frame for a few months in all missions is actually a good thing. Planning for a mission is one thing, but things change in missions very quickly. Having the experience to handle anything with any frame is what is essential to higher level play, not so much what frame you picked.

What he shouldnt do is focus on single abilities. The majority of abilities on frames are really really good, and nobody uses them. This is what causes players or teams to fail when something unexpected happens and they mash 4 because they dont know what to do.

Ember for example is actually really good at high level like trials or even sorties. Her augment on WOF is great for slowing the enemies incoming attacks. Fireball is free damage. Accelerant has a radial stun effect and scales really well with with a properly built weapon. Fire blast stacks, has guaranteed proc causing panic, pushes enemies away, and great for choke points.

See, ember is one of the old school frames where there is no magic damage reduction button. Players are so used to iron skin, bubbles, hysteria, and rift walking,  they never learned how to dodge. So great frames like ember get pushed into the garbage bin because players dont know what to do. But thats a topic for another day.

I Valkyr'd, the more tanky a frame the better.

But honestly, you don't even have to bother with META, just use your favorite.

[(PSN)joshw1400]

Blind Excalibur, Dread, Sonicor, Tipedo

[Hemmo67]

i know what i will use

hitman mesa with dual toxocyst, lanka, and caustacyst :P

[Xaero]

I'm sure this quest will be easy to beat with anything, so it's all about Fashionframe for the cinematics.

[trunks013]

Limbo or Excal ^.^ 

[Irorone]

The general concensus for the moment is

Use what you want, doll it up if you want, because no sort of increase in challenge has exactly been revealed (probably to avoid somebody preemptively nullifying said challenge increase with a strategy change, for example stalker may be able to dispel warframe abilities but that doesn't stop the full heal from a trin ult so on the extremely rare case I go into mission actually trying to trigger stalker encounters I bring my trin since it effectively means stalker would have to one shot me to even have a chance of winning.)

[Urlan]

Oberon, definitely Oberon :)

[Askell91]

Il go with Chroma or Messa. Still got time till Wait Within arrive to decide. I mean November gonna have 30 day so ye.. wait.. within :'(

[Stonehenge]

Valk. Let the twin queens hear your rage.

Banshee. Best frame in game. Roll with the best or die like the rest.

[Sloan441]

Whatever one you want.

Although, like Zhoy, I like Banshee a very great deal, Trinity Prime will most likely be getting the nod for TWW. TrinP is one of the better 'frames to confront unknown situations and I just like the way she looks. Skirts >> lyre helmets.

[YpsitheFlintsider]

For me, it's going to be either the god Inaros, or the queen Nyx Prime.

Use your favorites. Ultimately, only you can tell you what to use since the idea is to have a setup you enjoy using that represents you. It's not going to be gut-bustingly difficult because they want you to see it to the end. In my case, it's going to be a slight modification of what I took to the Second Dream: Rhino Prime (Palatine), Boar Prime, Vaykor Marelok, Zenistar. All my favorites, regardless of which are best in slot. The only concession I'm making is using Helios instead of my magical space cat Ash, because I want to get the heads up on new codex entries. I'm a sucker for filling that thing out.

[Oranji]

Valkyr or Banshee Prime.
Yep. That long.
