One of the best things about Warframe is the range of characters that players have to choose from. These characters, called Warframes (hence the name), can vary from great damage dealers, tanks, and sneaky spies that can get past enemies with ease.
Today’s focus is on some of the best defensive Frames in the game. These Warframes can take on defensive missions with ease or can help other allies survive these missions. Some of these Warframes can cause mass destruction as well. While the best is still up to the player, this can be a general idea for players looking to start out.
10 Khora
In terms of defense, Khora has a dome that can be cast around the area to protect it from enemies trying to break in. The ability, Strangledome casts a large dome of living metal that can catch enemies and keep them trapped. This ability can allow damage dealers in the group to easily pick off enemies one by one. Khora also gets the added benefit of having two pets. One of these pets is the Warframe’s faithful companion Venari. Venari can cycle through three postures, attack, protect, and heal. This gives an added benefit when playing any mission type.
9 Gara
Gara has a few abilities that can help when it comes to defense missions. The best, however, is Mass Vitrify. This ability creates a ring of molten glass that the player can control the size of. Enemies cause in the expanse of it are turned to crystal. Once it is placed, the glass hardens and protects allies from gunfire. Gara can then use the Splinter Storm ability to shatter its armor and have it coat enemies with shards of glass. The Shattered Lash ability can also be used to break pieces of the glass ring and send shards flying at enemies.
8 Ember
Ember is mainly an attacking Frame, but they are useful for defense missions as well. This is because of the Warframe’s Fire Blast ability. This ability causes a wave of fire to wash over the battlefield in all directions and depending on how great the range is increased, it can fill an entire room. Recently, Ember was reworked and the Frame’s abilities now work even better together. Ember’s Immolation ability also offers a form of defense to protect the player from incoming damage.
7 Equinox
Equinox is a weird Frame but is effective in defense missions. The key to using this Warframe is the Mend and Maim ability. Equinox can become two different Frames with different abilities. While in Night Form, Equinox can use the Mend ability to heal all allies in the area based on the number of enemies killed.
While in Day Form, Equinox can use the Maim ability. This ability can have a massive area of effect that causes bleed damage to affect all of the enemies caught in the area. Over time this damage can stack and if a player uses the Maim ability a second time, it causes a wave of damage to wash over all the enemies. This can have the effect of instantly killing them all.
6 Banshee
Banshee uses sound to silence her opponents and cause destruction on the battlefield. This Frame is one of the best when it comes to damage during defense missions. The ability Sound Quake causes Banshee to shake the environment, knock enemies over, and deal massive damage. This ability helps slow enemies down and can even kill them as they spawn. It’s not perfect and enemies can get through it, but it does come in handy when dealing with large numbers. The main downside to it is that it uses a ton of energy to keep it going.
5 Octavia
Octavia, like Banshee, controls sound to create devastating anthems that can annihilate enemies. This Frame is perfect for defense missions because of how well all of its abilities work together. When the abilities Mallet, Resonator, and Metronome are combined, it creates a rolling ball of music that can destroy enemies. As an added bonus, players can use the Amp ability to amplify Octavia’s damage along with ally damage. This ability also amplifies the damage of Octavia’s Mallet. Octavia’s metronome also offers buffs to players who move in time with the music.
4 Nova
Players typically build Nova in two ways, Slow or Fast. Both builds work around Nova’s fourth ability, Molecular Prime. Molecular Prime increases or decreases the speed of all enemies in an area around the player. This is useful in defense because it can either make the mission go fast or take long. People prefer to have a slow Nova so they have time to shoot enemies and not have them reach the defense target. Some players do prefer not to have a Nova, but this Frame works well when a group knows what they are doing.
3 Saryn
Saryn’s poison abilities can help any team out in a defense mission. The spores can easily overwhelm enemies and take them down before they can even reach the defense target. All a player needs to do to be effective is cast the Spores ability on an enemy and then shoot the spores.
This will cause the spores to spread to nearby enemies and overwhelm them. The Miasma ability will also release a lethal poison that can help take enemies down. Players can build Saryn to be a killing machine.
2 Limbo
Limbo is often played in the wrong way, but when played correctly, this Warframe can be devastating to enemies in defense missions. The main ability that everyone likes to focus on is Cataclysm. This is because Cataclysm causes a devastating amount of damage when used correctly. Limbo and allies inside the Cataclysm are protected from gunfire and can still kill enemies. The other thing that makes the Cataclysm ability amazing is the energy return that Limbo and their allies get from killing enemies inside the rift.
1 Frost
Frost is the original defensive Warframe so it is only natural that they are on this list. Despite there being so many new Frames that are relevant for defense missions, Frost remains one of, if not the best. The key to defending with Frost is using the Snow Globe ability. This ability creates a shield of ice around wherever Frost is standing. Place it on top of the defense area and enemies won’t be able to shoot inside. The best part about this is that allies can shoot out of the globe. This ability also slows down and freezes all enemies that enter it.
