If you pick a base character then the prime gets removed as well, the better version cant exist without the base version, however if you remove a prime version then the base character can still exist. My personal pick would be Valkyr due to how [IMO] useless she seems
Yareli, purely on an artistic perspective. This anime stuff can go to hell for all I care x)
but she has the best fabric physics in the game, almost everything else is so rubbery :(
Limbo
I second this
A lot of good options here but I think I’d vote for Voruna. She’s useless, and not even her helminth ability is worth anything.
I really think Limbo was a bad idea in general. He’s a very clunky frame that causes frustration for the rest of the squad, with the amount depending on how much the Limbo player is willing to actively try to mitigate it. When his abilities are able to consistently function they have also historically completely trivialised game modes. There’s not even a good way to fix these issues without turning him into a different frame entirely.
I’m one of the probably 6 people who actually genuinely like Inaros, but he’s definitely the character I think people would miss the least if I had to pick a frame.
The post description sounds like it means “Warframe”, but I’d be really interested to see what the story would be like without Ballas, the single big bad orokin who personally caused so many of the events of the plot. I’m more interested in the aftermath of the orokin system than the villainy of one man.
Wally. It has been how many years and he keeps showing up every once in a while, sometimes freaking me out. Can’t wait to get rid of him.
Saryn or Mesa
Nekros, not a huge fan of a loot bot frame that confuses other players in missions. Dont see it too often in SP, mainly just on dark sectors.
How does nekros confuse players though? He is pretty straightforward.
You think you are shooting an enemy but its a nekros mob
Oh yeah that’s fair, they really should allow us to shoot through ghosts.
forget other players, I often wind up shooting my own shadows.
Octavia. She’s been broken for so long and is still not nerfed, makes any mission into a joke… That or everyone in fortuna, I hate farming Solaris standing.
as someone who mains Octavia I take great offense to this because you’re clunking all of us together, some of us just use her casually and not try and break the game entirely just because we can
Eh, a lot of people say Octavia is broken but she comes at a massive QoL cost and has issues in public play when enemies start spewing AoE. Even ignoring that, her mallet is slower than a guy with a good gun outside of endurance, and the game should never be balanced around endurance. I think she’s fine where she is as she’s not functionally any stronger than Saryn or Mesa in normal play.
Octavia IS broken. Just the mere fact that she has an infinitely recastable 0 drawback invisibility makes her broken as in wf, invisibility might as well be invincibility… QoL doesn’t matter if she can be invisible the whole game and pump out literally unlimited damage while staying in 1 spot, pressing 1, 2 and 3 every 40 seconds…
Oh yeah, infinite 0 drawback invisibility like Ivara, Ash, Loki, lol. Invisibility is useful, but make no mistake that it’s not invincibility which frames also have like Revenant, Valkyr, also Loki again, and other frames who have practical invincibility like Zephyr who can just float away from her only danger, melee enemies.
Now, obviously, other frames don’t have recastable invisibility but that’s QoL which proves my point. Enemies don’t detect you immediately the moment you leave invisibility, so you can chain it on any frame such that you’re never actually detected. It’s a matter of QoL preference, and most people prefer a single button press every X seconds (or once in the case of Ivara, lol) in contrast to Octavia’s crouch spam.
As for her scaling damage, it’s slow and relies on enemies targeting her mallet. A weapon will be faster at any level if you know how to mod it well, and any frame I’ve mentioned in this comment is completely capable of standing in one spot, though Valkyr would certainly prefer to run around and murder enemies.
The amount of button presses a frame requires is not indicative of their power level. I can kill everything in a mission with 2 button presses using Revenant’s 2 and 4 for most missions, maybe the occasional 3rd if I need Roar at higher levels. That doesn’t mean it’s quick, and that doesn’t mean it’s strong. I’m not saying Octavia is weak, but she’s not broken, at least not anymore so than the rest of the game (which I would agree is broken in general, lol).
Yeah Octavia is strong but she’s my last choice for a stealth frame lol. It’s clunky to use and her only good way to stay alive. I always go to Loki if I need stealth
The Operator
I respect your opinion, however as someone who likes Valk, and often mains her, I wouldn’t want her removed.
I think most Warframes have a place in the game honestly. Maybe my pick would be Excalibur since we have Styanax now but I’m sure there’s some Excalibur lovers around. Also, on the topic of Excalibur, would that mean I ALSO would remove Excalibur Umbra and Excalibur Prime, or just excal prime? Because If not then we also have umbra as a backup.
It makes me angry for Valkyr that they nerfed Hysteria, then turned around later and buffed Revenant’s Mesmer Skin; and her claws can’t slash while Garuda gets better Valkitty Klaws due to being the only exalted melee in the game that gets acolyte mods.
Excal still has a place in being the funny number melee frame. Nobody else gets to stack as many melee buffs as swordy boi.
umbra would still be considered as a prime version, because he came later in the game and was based off of excalibur himself, so he would get removed if base excalibur got removed
