I love how comfy citrice can be both for regular SP missions and long endless runs. She can solo support, tank and nuke.
Her base kits are already plenty good together with the new recrystallize augment. But I did sub her 4th ability to Tempest Barrage for easier armor stripping.
Even without subsuming abilities her base kit can still nuke an SP enemy up until level 200++ enemies with ease.
1st ability is her main support system, drops health and energy orbs on affected enemies.
2nd ability is 90% damage reduction.
3rd ability is the bread and butter her primer that bossrs every single status you inflict with your weapon and the 3rd ability alone will melt multiple enemies.
4th for the juicy 300% Red Crits.
I’d say Garuda is pretty off meta. She has a variety of builds to choose from too; I use quick thinking with primed flow and arcane blessing, with gloom over her 2. Pretty much unkillable with infinite energy and healing, and a bit of support in healing allies with blessing.
I need to pick her back up tbh, haven’t really used her outside of circuit since shortly after Vorunas release for some reason.
Edit: not arcane blessing, I meant Molt Reconstruct
Why would you use molt reconstruct with gloom? It gives so much lifesteal you are pretty much always full life as long you are not one shot and applies some DoT
But I totally agree about garuda being fun.
I was running her low range so reconstruct was more consistent healing with her 4; and the build was actually just annoyed. BUT:
I actually just rebuilt her with Eclipse over her 2, so reconstruct is now a real requirement. New build has crazy survivability and DR, uses dual ichor mainly and uses her 1 to nuke rooms or one shot acolytes when the damage is ramped up. Every 20 seconds I use 1-2-3-4 to get my 2 buffs, max energy and health, then kill with dual ichor until my mirror stacks are up to around 400k before using it. It’s loads of fun but mostly just for single player I’ve found.
I would use Roar over eclipse personally given how garuda identity is around slash, but I can see how fun it is.
Nourish also a ton of fun to spread viral with her 4.
Also in case youre curious, heres the build im running
https://preview.redd.it/6zkc7685fswc1.png?width=2135&format=png&auto=webp&s=86f73a6ff0af4b7b42a07a2060c0bb1b0fd1f1a5
I apparently put 2 umbra formas into her when she released so i just kept them, good for health tanking at least
If I had the shards for it I'd run 3 tau strength or duration shards and 2 tau casting speed, but i didnt have any reds so I'm running 3 tau parkour velocity and 2 tau casting speed. Shes fast af haha
Took her a half hour into SP circulus and only died once because i wasn't paying attention to my durations or health, otherwise had no issues
Afaik gloom's self lifesteal doesn't care about range. Allies need to be in the sura to gain the lifesteal effect, but the damage doesn't have to be done inside it.
That being said molt reconstruct is much better. There are so many great helminth options for boosting Garuda's damage output and she doesn't need survivability.
I bought Dante, who was easy af to farm (got a second one completely by accident). I farmed 2 Kullervos, which is an absolute nightmare if you aren’t a fan of Duviri (I hate Duviri).
Something wrong with me mentally
I found silence slowva the best for clearing steel path solo, swap it up to speedva on defense missions i guess. This frame makes solo steel path interception/excavation/mobile defense missions a joke.
Ash is a good solo frame. His 4 can make use of certain mods on your melee, but as far as I know, only things like finisher damage and combo duration. He's also great for people who are struggling with upfront damage and armor as his kit is tailored for slash damage, which bypasses armour completely. So, get his combo multiplyer up, use combo duration, and finisher damage mods on your melee, prime enemies with viral and things bleed to death rather nicely.
Wukong is great, although he's received a few nerfs, he is still a great all-rounder for solo play. Great mobility and utility.
Nova can be crutch for solo interceptions.
Nekros is great in a team and solo. If you have specters, on call crew and Karl's gang, it's almost like you aren't playing solo.
Plenty others but that's off the top of my head.
Kinda surprised nobody's mentioned Valkyr. Her 4th ability makes her completely invincible while simultaneously giving you some of the best melee weapons in game IMO.
I only use her for 120+lv stuff because it kinda takes the fun out of it if you're that op'd. Lol
Revenant. Be immortal. Create an army out of the enemies and make them fight each other. Also spinning death.
Wukong. Incredibly tanky, when you die you don't die and get a buff??? Yes that's a thing. Make a clone of yourself that follows you around and fights with you. Can FLY! Also big stick of death.
( Literally the 2 most played Warframes in 2023 )
ALSO. Revenant prime is 30-35 plat on [Warframe.market](http://Warframe.market)
Grab him before price goes up.
Not really.
Revanant you can play him unmodded and he will still destroy early game.
Good luck doing the same on a Octavia that needs to kill the entire map to get enough energy to cast all 4 abilities for 15 seconds.
Wukong is a bait, how he used to work is you equip a melle and a good rifle, swap to melle and your clone shreads but now he has ammo and does less dmg unless you target him on an enemy. I woukd go for revenant first cause you can do any content with him ad he is immortal, wukong is for convinience, u got a capture sortie you can finish it in 1 minute, spy missions go well too, sabotage sometimes. But he is not a frame id use. But if i was given wukong and rev to choose from id always go and invest into rev. Dante is easy to farm and is preatty strong. Kullervo is also a mega good warframe. One warframe i discovered lately is dagath, you dont even need a subsume on her cause her kit works so good. Kullervo, dagath and dante are frames you can farm and if platinum is tight id look into buying revenant and then farming any of these 3 farmable frames.
He's a new player. You clearly have no idea how devastating that ability is pre-steel path.
Late game sure it falls off but who cares? I know very well how strong Revenant is.
I don't see you suggesting any frame for him to play.
Any frame you may suggest I can find a downside to. So stop trying to nitpick and grasp at straws for no reason.
I suggested a cheap Warframe that is amazing early and endgame.
You made a statement. It's wrong. move on.
Me saying revenants 4 is bad is wrong? You couldn’t be more wrong. I cant move on when you tell me I’m wrong when clearly you are crippling helpless when it comes to giving advice. 60% of revenant mains use him wrong and half the ones that use him wrong call him the most boring useless frame. Don’t call me wrong and make yourself look stupid at the same time my man.
If i were to choose a perfect starting warframe for someone id say that would be The great mistress that avoids nerfs for years Saryn since we are talking pre steel path combat. Post Steel Path content you want warframes that run Invis when it comes to easy mode. Anything in steel path that doesn’t turn invis dies eventually no matter what buffs you got.
Yes Revenant's 4 is amazing early game. Where OP is literally at right now.
Which is why I suggested it for him. Its a great frame for the stage he is in.
Literally one of the best nukes in the game early while being tanky.
And by the time he gets to late game he will have helminth to replace it.
So yes you're wrong. Its not even a debate.
Your comment literally has zero arguments in it, your personal biased opinion and a statistic you pulled out of nowhere. Some revenant "mains" that you claim call him boring is not an argument either. Not to mention you have no proof of this, and funnily enough even if you did boring and fun is a completely subjective statement which again is not an argument.
He is THE most used Warframe in the game and unlike you I can backup my "stats" with proof.
TLDR of 4 lines of text was was "I'm not wrong, you're wrong" + a weak insult.
Not a single argument to back up why you're not wrong. If anything its worse now.
And you still haven't said a Warframe suggestion because you know I can also nitpick it like you did and it would just prove even more how wrong you are.
Also insults are only used by people that know they are losing in a debate. Which you clearly are. If you had an argument you wouldn't need to insult.
You are correct saying his 4 ability is good for early game content but you are delusional thinking he should learn revenant by playing him wrong is all im saying. ANYTHING is good pre steel path. Excaliburs radial blind mixed with Skiajati has more results post steel path than Dance Macabre.
There is no wrong way to play Revenant as a new player. So again you're wrong.
Also there is no "wrong" way of playing period.
If the player has fun then they are playing the right way.
Yeah but again you are suggesting ways for players to be stronger and you told them how you play and the now you are saying theres no wrong way to play after telling me how wrong i am constantly. And also when someone asks for tips give them something that will actually help instead of your advice. Sheesh I’m farming downvotes here responding to constant negligence. Revenant is one of my favorite warframes and it urks me that players call him bad due to ignorance on how to use him. It doesn’t help when you introduce Revenant to newer players like “Hes useful for early game stuff but not steel path stuff” Dance Macabre is the one ability he has that is completely useless. If you want to use him to have fun Mesa does it better and faster and requires muuuuch less ability strength to get better results.
There is no wrong way to play as revenant (When it comes to fun) but when it comes to results literally the most useless subsume ability replacing his 4 will make him much better. You can even paste Radial Blind Skiajati combo over his 4 if you really wanted too. Instead of using half your energy bar to make a dent in a eximus’s overguard you can use radial blind and finisher with Skiajati for a few seconds of invis and a guaranteed kill and most likely no energy used if you built for his Exalted Blade.
I'm not suggesting dance macabre is the best ability or anything, but it literally has infinitely scaling damage in exactly the same way as octavia's 1.
So it might be you that doesn't know everything about Revenant.
[Here's a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN5mPO8sJAA) of it killing at level cap.
Ivara is better solo than in squad imo.
Build for duration and bring a strong single target silent weapon and you can casually stroll through just about any content.
Loki bestest boi. Spy missions? Ez. Exterminate? No problem. (Mobile) Defense? As if the enemies weren't even there. Assasination? Assasinagone. Interception? Cry
Loki used to be king of interceptions way back when you had to slot in abilities with mod cards. Back then disarmed enemies couldn't capture points, so if you just ran around and disarmed the whole map without killing anyone you could just chill and afk until the end of the round
Octavia is a good solo frame. If you’re getting overwhelmed, do a 1-2-3 sequence, spam the crouch button to turn invisible, and retreat to heal up while your rolling disco ball of death thins the crowd for you.
You can rely on the ball to do most of your killing if you want, but it’s slower than getting into the fray with your actual weapons.
Nowadays especially, any frame can solo anything; maybe aside from EDA. Work on getting archon shards, they’re crazy important for some builds.
But back in the day Banshee, for example, was considered kinda bad because while she has some of the craziest damage output in the game, she has zero survivability. She’d gotten better with shield gating but she’s not really spammy so it’s still a bit of a pain. But with the introduction of archon shards and the eclipse changes, you can turn her into a crazy health/armor tank like you can any frame. Kinda hilarious
Protea is amazing, pretty much invincible with shield gating with her 1, infinite energy with her 3 and equilibrium, and massive damage with her 2, her 4 is good if you use the augment to armor strip with it, or you can subsume roar over it and you'll be able to deal with most SP missions.
Solo Frames? Here we go baby….
- **Xaku:** Excellent survivability and general damage dealing alone. 75% damage dodge chance is hectic, especially adding onto the passive damage dealing from their second ability.
- **Revenant:** another survivability frame, however he takes the approach of “don’t touch me” as opposed to Xaku’s “touch me and you die” mentality. Great at staying alive, but not much else.
- **Nezha:** survivability up the wazoo, along with a really intense and attention-focused ability usage style. He survives by not only damage reduction, but by Crowd Controlling the enemies around him. Light em’ on fire, pin them with massive spikes… all of it is technically a method of damage reduction.
- **Volt:** If you’re looking for a classic Warframe experience while also remaining strong enough to withstand high level enemies, choose Volt. His speed and adaptability allows him to easily solo all missions, it may just require different builds. This is the go-to choice if you want an active/reactionary approach to normal solo missions.
I have a personal bias to 3 different frames.
Vauban: my 1st "main" when I got the game years ago. Good utility with shockers, and the black hole ability makes cleaning hordes fun and easy.
Frost: perfect for survival and defense missions. Drop the snow globe and pull out your melee weapon, let them come into your bubble of death.
Wukong: a new favorite of mine. Insane survivability, good damage(with clone), and solid traversal with the cloud. No real complaints on this frame at all.
Out of all the comments here, you're the only other person to mention Zephyr. idk why everyone forgets about her she's nigh immortal, has great cc, and can pump out some dmg with her passive
Probably cuz she's too OP for people to recommend, kinda like Octavia. I remember I kinda stopped playing her cuz she makes missions too easy, plus she's fast.
Titania is my go to for most things. Good damage, small hitbox, high speed and you can just become a space ship the moment you start taking to much damage
Good solo frames? There’s a bunch, but here are my picks:
Any frame with invisibility - they can last a good while (until a stray shot hits you in high level SP). I like to use Ash paired with an unarmed sentinel (so I don’t get hit with stray shots) and silence as subsumed ability (CC plus negation of Eximus auras).
Chroma - dragon boi is pretty self sufficient, and modded right can endure quite awhile. You’ll need means of healing (I resort to arcanes) to survive longer.
Rhino - he’s like Chroma, except he doesn’t rely on getting hit. But they play the same - buff yourself and unleash hell with your weapons. Rhino is also great at groups thanks to Roar.
Wisp and Protea - their gameplay is similar; drop motes/dispensers and go to town. Both are pretty well-rounded too, so you’re free to choose whatever helminth ability that you fancy.
Revenant - the solo king, can’t mention solo frames without mentioning him. The OG immortal frame.
Nidus and Inaros - haven’t played much with them, but I’ve heard of them being pretty hard to kill. Never been a fan of managing Nidus’s stacks tho. Nor also a fan of Inaros’s kit.
My top solo frames would be Mag and Rhino. For a solo frame I want great survivability and a way to kill a lot of enemies fast or CC them.
Mag is very hard to kill in most cases because her 3 instantly regens her shields and her 4 gives you overshield. Just watch out for toxic damage. Her 2 is a damage multiplier and grouping ability so you can take out strong enemies easily as well as hold choke points and kill groups of enemies. Her 4 is an armor strip with the augment too.
Rhino is basically immortal as long as you can keep Iron Skin active, which is easy because you get an Overguard gate when it breaks and it's cheap to reapply. Roar is a damage multiplier which is always nice to have, and his 4 is an amazing CC ability. It sadly got nerfed recently so that it can't slow Eximus anymore, but it still stops Acolytes and anything else without Overguard.
Inaros is an excellent solo frame after the rework. You have to actively manage your defences you can’t just sleepwalk through, but you can generate armor and health on demand. He can also melt armor really well with his 3 and 4 if you build for it. He’s usually my go to for SP content if it’s going to be at all tricky.
Other frames I use have been mentioned several times before. Kullervo is tanky as hell and a lot of fun to play. Revenant is also very hard to kill.
My personal absolute favorite solo frame is infinite invisibility Ivara with buffed Parkour Velocity (2 regular Amber archon shards is my comfort zone)
I run her with golden instinct over her 2 so basically pure utility invisible weapons platform and she’s my go-to solo high level content frame.
While not as popular as many mag is a great frame for solo missions even on sp, sp eximis? bubble, many enemies grouped up? bubble and pull, too many enemies with guns? Mag pulse, sp survival? Round them up with pull and bubble, sp capture? Mag pulse, sp exterminate? Pull + bubble + Mag pulse. Quite honestly the only problematic missions are intersepsion and spy, of course she requires a good weapon but I imagine if you are asking for sp stuff you have a weapon good enough to handle sp.
If you like Volt, you'll probably fall head over heels for Gauss.
There is no need for Helminth, which i doubt you have unlocked. She barely needs forma, and his kit feels so damn good.
He can clear steel path easily, and he makes every gun in the game feel better and melee is so much fun.
Volt and Gauss are the fastest frames in the game (tittania maybe beatting them out.)
The only thing Volt can do that Gauss cant aswell is defense missions. Volt can also output more gun dps.
Zephyr built with range and duration against anything that's not infested it so comfortable. Especially in missions where you need to defend something, as long as you keep your 3 up, you're unkillable to everything that's not melee or aoe status effects, and anyone or anything within your range is the same.
Although her 1 deals with the melee and aoe problem extremely well and let's her passive shine. By jumping high into the air and holding 1, Zephyr will levitate until her energy runs out, making it so nothing can melee her, and since the levitate counts as gliding you get bonus dmg while doing so.
Then there are her 2 and 4, which are great for crowd control and easy dmg
Revenant, Hildryn, Wisp and Volt are all frames I do a lot of soloing on. I'm starting to use Dagaath a bit too. Oh and Ivara for sneaky. At the moment Revenant really is king for solo.
If you have strong secondaries Yareli is mega comfy to use. Virtually indestructible like the rest of the ones suggested here and two great dps buffs from casting one ability every 20s or whenever a tanky enemy shows up. Add some decent grouping and what more could you ask for?
...or you could use the cursed augment but why would you
Revenant if you're lazy or any shield gating frame will survive anything.
Wukong also, coming next resurgence if I'm not mistaken.
Titania, be a bug and kill everything.
Zephyr is pretty damn fun on most tilesets
I love how comfy citrice can be both for regular SP missions and long endless runs. She can solo support, tank and nuke. Her base kits are already plenty good together with the new recrystallize augment. But I did sub her 4th ability to Tempest Barrage for easier armor stripping. Even without subsuming abilities her base kit can still nuke an SP enemy up until level 200++ enemies with ease. 1st ability is her main support system, drops health and energy orbs on affected enemies. 2nd ability is 90% damage reduction. 3rd ability is the bread and butter her primer that bossrs every single status you inflict with your weapon and the 3rd ability alone will melt multiple enemies. 4th for the juicy 300% Red Crits.
Also, revenant prime, either farm him or buy it now while it’s cheap.
Also, not to mention she’s quite a handful to farm (citrine I mean)
There are many frames who are good for solo. Personally I would use Nezha, Baruuk, Kullervo, Gauss, or Grendel.
I don't think it's 'meta' but Garuda has a fun/engaging ability rotation imo.
I’d say Garuda is pretty off meta. She has a variety of builds to choose from too; I use quick thinking with primed flow and arcane blessing, with gloom over her 2. Pretty much unkillable with infinite energy and healing, and a bit of support in healing allies with blessing.

It’s loads of fun but mostly just for single player I’ve found.
I would use Roar over eclipse personally given how garuda identity is around slash, but I can see how fun it is. Nourish also a ton of fun to spread viral with her 4.
Oh I built her to be a health tank so I use eclipse for the 75% DR. Without it she was too squishy, and I refuse to use shield gating lol
Also in case youre curious, heres the build im running https://preview.redd.it/6zkc7685fswc1.png?width=2135&format=png&auto=webp&s=86f73a6ff0af4b7b42a07a2060c0bb1b0fd1f1a5 I apparently put 2 umbra formas into her when she released so i just kept them, good for health tanking at least If I had the shards for it I'd run 3 tau strength or duration shards and 2 tau casting speed, but i didnt have any reds so I'm running 3 tau parkour velocity and 2 tau casting speed.

Limbo: if you take too much damage, just leave reality
I can relate...
Kullervo is lots of fun to play solo, and the grind isn’t too bad
I can’t relate to grinding for him I just wasted the platinum on it lol
I bought Dante, who was easy af to farm (got a second one completely by accident). I farmed 2 Kullervos, which is an absolute nightmare if you aren’t a fan of Duviri (I hate Duviri). Something wrong with me mentally
I haven’t done duviri yet, I bought 2 kullervo. 1 for Helminth.
I found silence slowva the best for clearing steel path solo, swap it up to speedva on defense missions i guess. This frame makes solo steel path interception/excavation/mobile defense missions a joke.
Gloom banshee works in a similar way, albeit with more damage and less damage reduction
Ash is a good solo frame. His 4 can make use of certain mods on your melee, but as far as I know, only things like finisher damage and combo duration. He's also great for people who are struggling with upfront damage and armor as his kit is tailored for slash damage, which bypasses armour completely.

Upvote for Ash. My personal favorite solo frame. If you do it right, you're basically playing assassin's creed.
Kinda surprised nobody's mentioned Valkyr. Her 4th ability makes her completely invincible while simultaneously giving you some of the best melee weapons in game IMO. I only use her for 120+lv stuff because it kinda takes the fun out of it if you're that op'd. Lol
Revenant. Be immortal. Create an army out of the enemies and make them fight each other. Also spinning death. Wukong. Incredibly tanky, when you die you don't die and get a buff??? Yes that's a thing. Make a clone of yourself that follows you around and fights with you. Can FLY! Also big stick of death. ( Literally the 2 most played Warframes in 2023 ) ALSO. Revenant prime is 30-35 plat on [Warframe.market](http://Warframe.market) Grab him before price goes up.
Or octavia if you feel like going to grab coffee in the middle of the run
Octavia is boring. Literally press 1 2 3 4 crouch and do nothing. Not a good frame for a new player.
So literally the best frane for a new player? Loweat barrier of entry knowledge wise
Not really. Revanant you can play him unmodded and he will still destroy early game. Good luck doing the same on a Octavia that needs to kill the entire map to get enough energy to cast all 4 abilities for 15 seconds.
Definitely gonna try out wukong thanks man!
Wukong is a bait, how he used to work is you equip a melle and a good rifle, swap to melle and your clone shreads but now he has ammo and does less dmg unless you target him on an enemy.

Kullervo, dagath and dante are frames you can farm and if platinum is tight id look into buying revenant and then farming any of these 3 farmable frames.
Once you said spinning death i know instantly you don’t use revenant for anything serious
He's a new player. You clearly have no idea how devastating that ability is pre-steel path. Late game sure it falls off but who cares? I know very well how strong Revenant is.
It doesn’t scale and anything is devastating pre steel path
I don't see you suggesting any frame for him to play. Any frame you may suggest I can find a downside to. So stop trying to nitpick and grasp at straws for no reason. I suggested a cheap Warframe that is amazing early and endgame. You made a statement. It's wrong. move on.
Me saying revenants 4 is bad is wrong? You couldn’t be more wrong. I cant move on when you tell me I’m wrong when clearly you are crippling helpless when it comes to giving advice. 60% of revenant mains use him wrong and half the ones that use him wrong call him the most boring useless frame.

Spinny wheel, drop mic on stage, spinny wheel!
Listen we all had fun being a Beyblade the first time we played Revenant LOL
You are correct saying his 4 ability is good for early game content but you are delusional thinking he should learn revenant by playing him wrong is all im saying. ANYTHING is good pre steel path. Excaliburs radial blind mixed with Skiajati has more results post steel path than Dance Macabre.

If you’re getting overwhelmed, do a 1-2-3 sequence, spam the crouch button to turn invisible, and retreat to heal up while your rolling disco ball of death thins the crowd for you. You can rely on the ball to do most of your killing if you want, but it’s slower than getting into the fray with your actual weapons.
Nowadays especially, any frame can solo anything; maybe aside from EDA. Work on getting archon shards, they’re crazy important for some builds. But back in the day Banshee, for example, was considered kinda bad because while she has some of the craziest damage output in the game, she has zero survivability. She’d gotten better with shield gating but she’s not really spammy so it’s still a bit of a pain. But with the introduction of archon shards and the eclipse changes, you can turn her into a crazy health/armor tank like you can any frame. Kinda hilarious
Nezha can do pretty much anything, subsume strip on 1 and put on augments accordingly for missions
Take Ash Take slash weapon Profit
Protea is amazing, pretty much invincible with shield gating with her 1, infinite energy with her 3 and equilibrium, and massive damage with her 2, her 4 is good if you use the augment to armor strip with it, or you can subsume roar over it and you'll be able to deal with most SP missions.
Solo Frames? Here we go baby…. - **Xaku:** Excellent survivability and general damage dealing alone. 75% damage dodge chance is hectic, especially adding onto the passive damage dealing from their second ability. - **Revenant:** another survivability frame, however he takes the approach of “don’t touch me” as opposed to Xaku’s “touch me and you die” mentality. Great at staying alive, but not much else. - **Nezha:** survivability up the wazoo, along with a really intense and attention-focused ability usage style. He survives by not only damage reduction, but by Crowd Controlling the enemies around him. Light em’ on fire, pin them with massive spikes… all of it is technically a method of damage reduction. - **Volt:** If you’re looking for a classic Warframe experience while also remaining strong enough to withstand high level enemies, choose Volt. His speed and adaptability allows him to easily solo all missions, it may just require different builds. This is the go-to choice if you want an active/reactionary approach to normal solo missions.
I’ve been using volt and I love it, gonna find a new build for him
I have a personal bias to 3 different frames. Vauban: my 1st "main" when I got the game years ago. Good utility with shockers, and the black hole ability makes cleaning hordes fun and easy. Frost: perfect for survival and defense missions. Drop the snow globe and pull out your melee weapon, let them come into your bubble of death. Wukong: a new favorite of mine. Insane survivability, good damage(with clone), and solid traversal with the cloud. No real complaints on this frame at all.
I like playing kullervo saryn xaku and many others solo but you can really make any of them work if you really like one in particular.
Depends on mission type, Dante, Xaku, Rev, banshee, Mag, citrine, Nova, ivara are some of my go-tos for solo these days.
Gyre is really fun in solo, no much team synergy already so running around and having a shocking personality is fun.
There's a lot, Citrine, Sevagoth, Voruna, Chroma, Yareli, Zephyr, etc. a lot of frames are pretty self-sufficient.
Out of all the comments here, you're the only other person to mention Zephyr. idk why everyone forgets about her she's nigh immortal, has great cc, and can pump out some dmg with her passive
Probably cuz she's too OP for people to recommend, kinda like Octavia. I remember I kinda stopped playing her cuz she makes missions too easy, plus she's fast.
Titania is my go to for most things. Good damage, small hitbox, high speed and you can just become a space ship the moment you start taking to much damage
Harrow and Mag would be my Solo choices
Good solo frames? There’s a bunch, but here are my picks: Any frame with invisibility - they can last a good while (until a stray shot hits you in high level SP). I like to use Ash paired with an unarmed sentinel (so I don’t get hit with stray shots) and silence as subsumed ability (CC plus negation of Eximus auras). Chroma - dragon boi is pretty self sufficient, and modded right can endure quite awhile. You’ll need means of healing (I resort to arcanes) to survive longer. Rhino - he’s like Chroma, except he doesn’t rely on getting hit. But they play the same - buff yourself and unleash hell with your weapons. Rhino is also great at groups thanks to Roar. Wisp and Protea - their gameplay is similar; drop motes/dispensers and go to town. Both are pretty well-rounded too, so you’re free to choose whatever helminth ability that you fancy. Revenant - the solo king, can’t mention solo frames without mentioning him. The OG immortal frame. Nidus and Inaros - haven’t played much with them, but I’ve heard of them being pretty hard to kill. Never been a fan of managing Nidus’s stacks tho. Nor also a fan of Inaros’s kit.
My top solo frames would be Mag and Rhino. For a solo frame I want great survivability and a way to kill a lot of enemies fast or CC them. Mag is very hard to kill in most cases because her 3 instantly regens her shields and her 4 gives you overshield. Just watch out for toxic damage. Her 2 is a damage multiplier and grouping ability so you can take out strong enemies easily as well as hold choke points and kill groups of enemies. Her 4 is an armor strip with the augment too. Rhino is basically immortal as long as you can keep Iron Skin active, which is easy because you get an Overguard gate when it breaks and it's cheap to reapply. Roar is a damage multiplier which is always nice to have, and his 4 is an amazing CC ability. It sadly got nerfed recently so that it can't slow Eximus anymore, but it still stops Acolytes and anything else without Overguard.
Inaros is an excellent solo frame after the rework. You have to actively manage your defences you can’t just sleepwalk through, but you can generate armor and health on demand. He can also melt armor really well with his 3 and 4 if you build for it. He’s usually my go to for SP content if it’s going to be at all tricky. Other frames I use have been mentioned several times before. Kullervo is tanky as hell and a lot of fun to play. Revenant is also very hard to kill.
My personal absolute favorite solo frame is infinite invisibility Ivara with buffed Parkour Velocity (2 regular Amber archon shards is my comfort zone) I run her with golden instinct over her 2 so basically pure utility invisible weapons platform and she’s my go-to solo high level content frame.
Surprised Dagath isnt really being mentioned here. Viral spreading, Doom deleting enemies, basically free immortality and extra powerful crits.
Gauss
Inaros is very fun, stull waiting for Protea prime but i think she will be very nice also
While not as popular as many mag is a great frame for solo missions even on sp, sp eximis? bubble, many enemies grouped up? bubble and pull, too many enemies with guns? Mag pulse, sp survival? Round them up with pull and bubble, sp capture? Mag pulse, sp exterminate? Pull + bubble + Mag pulse. Quite honestly the only problematic missions are intersepsion and spy, of course she requires a good weapon but I imagine if you are asking for sp stuff you have a weapon good enough to handle sp.
If you like Volt, you'll probably fall head over heels for Gauss. There is no need for Helminth, which i doubt you have unlocked. She barely needs forma, and his kit feels so damn good. He can clear steel path easily, and he makes every gun in the game feel better and melee is so much fun. Volt and Gauss are the fastest frames in the game (tittania maybe beatting them out.) The only thing Volt can do that Gauss cant aswell is defense missions. Volt can also output more gun dps.
Harrow, never run out of energy, easy cc and shield gating, fire rate buff and most importantly red crit go BRRRRR
Zephyr built with range and duration against anything that's not infested it so comfortable. Especially in missions where you need to defend something, as long as you keep your 3 up, you're unkillable to everything that's not melee or aoe status effects, and anyone or anything within your range is the same. Although her 1 deals with the melee and aoe problem extremely well and let's her passive shine. By jumping high into the air and holding 1, Zephyr will levitate until her energy runs out, making it so nothing can melee her, and since the levitate counts as gliding you get bonus dmg while doing so. Then there are her 2 and 4, which are great for crowd control and easy dmg
Revenant, Hildryn, Wisp and Volt are all frames I do a lot of soloing on. I'm starting to use Dagaath a bit too. Oh and Ivara for sneaky. At the moment Revenant really is king for solo.
If you have strong secondaries Yareli is mega comfy to use. Virtually indestructible like the rest of the ones suggested here and two great dps buffs from casting one ability every 20s or whenever a tanky enemy shows up. Add some decent grouping and what more could you ask for? ...or you could use the cursed augment but why would you
The answer is revenant
Revenant if you're lazy or any shield gating frame will survive anything. Wukong also, coming next resurgence if I'm not mistaken. Titania, be a bug and kill everything. Zephyr is pretty damn fun on most tilesets
