Community-Made Warframe-Specific Guides.

[AfroGamerNinja]

Seeing the Getting Started guide Xylia made persuaded me to start this. So, anyone feels like thinking they're specialists with one specific frame and want to write a guide about it?

 

By the way, any post that goes all ''Press 1/2/3/4 to win'' will be reported as spam. Have a nice day.

 

Here's a possible template:

 

(Frame name)

(Health)

(Shields)

(Armor)

(Playstyle): (Balanced, DPS, Tank, Status Effect (Healing included), AoE)

 

(Strengths)

 

(Weaknesses)

 

(Skill 1)

(Skill 2)

(Skill 3)

(Skill 4)

 

(Alternate Helmets)

 

(Recommended mods)

 

(Strategies)

 

Feel free to call dibs on one of the frames except Excalibur. Because I'll be making the Excalibur guide. Anyway, the following list will indicate who is working on which guide. If you see *free*, then that means it isn't claimed yet.

 

Ash: GenCarter

 

Banshee: *free*

 

Ember: *free*

 

Excalibur: I'm working on it, I just need to plan things out.

 

Frost: *free*

 

Loki: *free*

 

Mag: *free*

 

Nova: *free*

 

Nyx: *free*

 

Rhino: *free*

Sure.

I saw them all. I felt like going deeper.

Oh, definitely. I felt it was worthwhile posting them as an introductory point, if nothing else.

 

Plus, they make for good comedy.

I could definitely do Frost or Loki.

Trinity is MY warframe. I OWN her. I've used her enough to write something decent for her.

 

I use Saryn and Nova a lot, but I have yet to fully understand them, so others could take them.

Good, let's see your knowledge of Trinity.

ASH is great for players looking for a more stealthy approach to combat. Lethal abilities are complemented by powers of distraction.- in game description 

 

Now lets get down to business 

 

Ash Basic Stats:

health starts out as 150 and becomes 450 when at max level

 

shield starts out as 100 and becomes 300 when at  max level

 

has 50 armor

 

sprint speed is at 1.15

 

has 4 ability polarities(like every other warframe) and 2 offensive polarities(namely for continuity and focus)

and has an offensive aura polarity(currently rifle amp and steel charge are the only mods using offensive polarities)

 

Strengths:

1.fast and very hard to hit even in pvp(more on that later)

 

2.has relatively high armor and hp for a fast frame

 

3.can easily bring down a boss by spamming shuriken 

 

4.is a flippin ninja(just had to say it)

 

Weaknesses

1.his ultimate doesnt always clean out an entire room(it also bugs out sometimes)

 

2.shuriken is not good at killing huge mobs 

 

Skills

1.Shuriken(throws a shuriken to deal 100/100/250/500(x2 because two will be thrown at max level) damage )- this skill is great in bringing down boss targets since it deals massive damage if targeted at one enemy

 

2.Smokescreen(drops a smoke bomb that stuns enemies and grants ash 4/5/6/8 seconds of invisibility)- your get out of jail free card or throw people in jail card. this skill is basically used to escape tricky situations or bring on the pain by dealing 50% bonus damage each melee hit while invisible

 

3.Teleport(ash teleports to a target 20/20/30/45 meters away bringing them into melee range)-i dont need to explain on this guide how awesome this skill is.. here is the link to my extensive teleport guide which will teach you guys how to use it to full effect https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/88860-ash-teleport-tips-and-tricks/

 

4.Bladestorm(ash goes on a rampage killing 8/8/10/13 enemies dealing 1000/?/2000 damage to each one)- this is the skill that makes ash well ash. it is useful for getting out of trouble since  it grants you invulnerability during its animations and almost nothing can survive a hit from bladestorm other than the grineer heavies and infested ancients so you kill everything without a scratch.

 

Alternate Helms include:

1.the Scorpion Helmet(+25% stamina -5% energy efficiency(i honestly dont recommend using this helm since it takes out energy in exchange for stamina))

 

2.the Locust Helmet(+20%energy capacity, -3%speed(this is what i would rather go for since 3% less speed in exchange for 20%energy is a sure winner and it con be easily compensated by a rush mod)

 

Recommended mods include:

1.the 4 skill mods(but thats me. feel free to change 1 of those if you want to)

 

2.redirection(a must for all frames)

 

3.flow and/or streamline(so you can spam your abilities more often(especially teleport which i love))

 

4.focus(to deal more damage with shuriken and bladestorm)

 

5.continuity(to increase the duration of smokescreen)

 

6+. optional mods include enemy sense(for stealth runs) and rush(so you can catch up to people bumrushing to the extraction point in co-op)

Aura:i would go for Energy Siphon since i like spamming my skills(feel free to forma it to make it a utility polarity to get 9 bonus mod slots)

 

Strategies:

 

1.use shuriken to kill hard to hit targets(ospreys) and just plain hard targets(heavies) you can also use it to stagger ancients trying to get close

 

2. smokescreen can be used defensively and offensively. defensively it can be used to escape a tricky situation while offensively you can offload alot of damage without any retaliation

 

3.teleport(check my link in the teleport part of the abilities section)

 

4. bladestorm can be used to clear a room without setting off an alarm(pop smokescreen then use bladestom), to escape a large amount of damage since it gives invulnerability, and to just plain kill everything

 

well here's my ash guide hope you guys have fun using him just like me

I started my Excalibur guide. The thing is, I might need to put it in a thread of it's own because of the size.
