Hydroid, Nekros or Ivara?

[(PSN)ghinellil]

Which is better for farm? Drop chance from enemies...

[(XBOX)ThermalStone]

Hydroid is the easiest to farm, just beat Vay Hek on Earth. Nekros is a little harder because you need to build a key every time you want to fight Lephantis.  Ivara is the hardest frame in the game to farm.  You need to do spy missions across the entire star chart with a tiny chance of getting a part each time.  I bought her from the market and I've still never found all her parts.

Edit: if you mean which frame is better at farming, it's Nekros.

if you are hunting rare drops from rare enemies like sentients, ivara is great, but for resources the other 2 are better. Which one is preference, but i tend more towards nekros because he is more versatile and doesnt soak up the affinity away from your weapons (and thus allows being combined with things like the secura lecta more easily). Hydroid is more convenient tho, since you only have to hammer one button.

For farming? Probably Nekros since he can always be on the move, such as during Survival.

In the end, it hardly matters since it doesn't shave a whole lot of time off whatever resource you are attempting to grind in the first place. Nekros Prime is pretty sexy though!

For farming in general: Nekros. Nekros is imo leagues above Hydroid and Ivara in terms of farming.

Why: With his desecrate ability it doesn't matter if you, or an ally kills the enemy, the ability still hits the corpse and offers a chance for additional loot. Not to mention Desecrate is a toggle ability, so press it once and you should be fine.

I would not recommend Hydroid (or at least as your main loot-farmer anyway). Since enemies need to be hit with his ult and you need his Pilfering Swarm Mod Augment for it to work with loot-farming. And he's only really saught after if the farming party already has a Nekros and are going for lots of a certain resource or a very rare drop (i.e. very rarely)

I would only recommend Ivara if you're going at it solo as you need to be in her 3 (Prowl) in order to get extra loot, everything will likely die too quickly to really matter otherwise.

 

TL;DR

Group: Nekros > Hydroid > Ivara
Solo: Ivara/Nekros > Hydroid

Well...too bad you can't trade normal warframe parts.

ivara.. just do spy missions and she is really very good frame worth farming

There is some misunderstanding... i have the warframes, i asked which is better use for farm mods.

[(PSN)Akabane85]

Nekros' Desecrate is a bit unstable. The additional loot is 54% per enemy and only apply once per enemy. But it has more range, can move/do other things while desecrate. Ivara's prowl can reach 100% additional loot per enemy, or can apply additional loot (pickpockets) multiple times untill success, if the chance is not 100%. But it has limited range, can only steal enemy one by one, and restricted movement speed.

For farming resources, Nekros is better as all enemies has chance to drop same resources base on plannet. You can kill enemies while looting. 

For farming Mods that drop specifically on an enemy, Ivara is better. You don't want to miss the second drop chance for enemies that doesn't spawn often.

Hydroid is best for team farming. You need the tentacles to sexual harassment enemies to get additional loot, but sometimes the tentacles have gentle mind and choose to not touch the enemies. You need recast tentacle often to force tentacle touch the enemies, which makes you no time for killing them if tentacle damage is not enough to make enemies unconscious.

Thanks for the answer.

Ivara isn't the hardest, it's just rng like everything else. Spy missions are incredible easy that require barely any work. Vauban would win the hardest to farm, since it can take several month to get all parts and you can't even influence it. Miss 1 part and add another few weeks/months.
