The Builds

Here is where we will post builds that have worked well, builds that were found easy to play, and builds that made the dream of warframe a real experience.

There are no “bad” warframes. The idea of a “bad” warframe is a sign of ignorance and general laziness. This is especially true in Warframe where you are garanteed to win.

The starter warframes:

  • Excalibur
  • Mag
  • Volt

Shield Tank Build

This build fits on all frames. It is a solid shield tank build to start any frame that you have not learned, or don’t have a build for, or you just do not like dying on the regular.

How to play this build

You do not have anything special to learn for this build. You can work on all the other things you need to do in your missions.

Builds in Warframe are something that most Warframe social media content creators my want to lay claim to creating. The facts are, there only a few mods in the game, made by DE for the game, and from these mods there is really only a small handfull of combinations for a build that works as expected. This is why such mod builds can become “META”, because there is really only a few ways to get a build to work well. These builds have even been organized by the Warframe community based on the support, defense, and offense methods that work in the game.

  • For defense you have Shield Tanking, Health Tanking, Energy Tanking, and Shield Gating.
  • For offense you have Nuke, Weapons Platform, and Face Tank.
  • For support you have Overguard, Buff Frame, Healer, and Crowd Control.

So with the community giving lables to the META builds that are published, anything unique about a build, to give credit or attribution to a social media content creator is nigh impossible, DE is the original build creator in all cases.

BUT….. credit is due for these content creators and the information they provided to get things started. The content creators do work hard to make their content and are then paid by the social media platform they publish on. I honor their work and encourage everyone to read or watch their build content. You will find that many YouTube content creators provide excellent starting points and are the basis for most if not all of these builds. These creators provide an excellent service of condensed, organized, and useful build information to show the way, they are worth your time to watch and get you to at least 85% of the build that makes your Warframe experience happen.
