One thing i always tell new players is to be very cautious about Rhino.

Rhino is too easy to play for his own good and doesn't teach players.

- He makes survivability trivial, so players don't learn that Corpus attacks can be dodged but not grineer.
- His Buffs are extremely strong, so players start to rely on that instead of learning to mod properly.
- He has an emergency stop button with the stomp, so players never get over themselves to just run away from something that would kill them in the next 5 seconds.
- He has one of the least punishing Kits and requires no maintenance at all, so it turns people away from higher maintenance frames.


I've seen several players who really enjoyed the game look at newbie guides that tell them to use Rhino and then they never played anything else except to level it, because it was too squishy or too high maintenance, only to quit before Sedna since the game was too monotone with only 1 viable frame

Nezha helped me so much to get a ground on the game when I was starting. Huge defense, Status Immunity and default Sure Footed. He has everything to allow new players not to get frustrated while learning all the mechanics.

[TheTanmoy]

Zephyr is just such a good frame for new players to get early.

She's got almost complete invulnerability to ranged damage for 90% of the star chart, and scales ultra well across all endless modes minus Defecation.

And she can also be taken to Steel Path at practically bare bones investment

[SereneJoy]

Quick note about Oberon: Oberon doesn't drop from eximus units anymore. Hasn't for like, two years I think? He's farmed in Railjack now on Earth and Saturn proxima missions.
It's unfortunate that he isn't dropped by Eximus anymore-that was a really good early-game credits farm for me, back in the day-but at least he's in Week 5 of the Circuit, so him and Ash can be farmed there for the better alternative.
Otherwise, great video!

[bernardurmston]

My opinion, is the one that looks like the most fun. Any frame can be powerful, so go for enjoyment.

[caleb]

Unfortunately, Oberon is no longer obtained from Eximus; he was moved to railjack, making him incredibly difficult for new players to obtain without significant assistance.

[miralotus]

Thanks for this! I just got my housemate into the game and this helps a lot for when she is inclined to try new frames!

It's worth recommending new players give Duviri a go. You get a taste of the power fantasy early on, a lot of MR, some amazing melees, and Kullervo is also right there for the taking.

I worry a lot of people try to steer new players away from Duviri either because "It's supposed to be played after New War because spoilers *grumble grumble*", or because they have this preconceived notion that new players are tiny babies who have never played a video game before.

[Dlo]

honorable mention goes to wukong. wukong can be obtained from the clan dojo. he will absolutely help you in harder content. armor buffing, spreading damage with his clone and the potential buffs you'll get when he takes fatal damage will help. he can also heal himself with his 2 ability and that will also heal your clone and clear any status effects you may have. it's essentially a get out of jail kind of thing.

[Mortenthiar]

Nekros actually no longer requires keys, you can run Lephantis when you get to that node

[MaddawgTL]

Tactical Potato shared his Mag Prime build and I tried it. It is real good, working on getting the shield arcanes and she becomes better the more I add.

As for recommended warframes, Wukong and Nezha. Both good frames that will take you to Steelpath, especially Nezha. Wukong is just a bery good all around frame that gets the job done.

[Neudezign]

Good stuff Tater, always appreciate your insight! I think something new players should also understand, is that it is perfectly fine to simply start their own clan if they want as well. If they are anti-social or just shy and would prefer to play the game at their own pace (which I absolutely encourage new players to do), being a "One-Man/Woman-Clan" is a great way to learn the game slowly and not feel any, pressure, I guess for lack of a better word, in trying to keep pace with other veteran players.

It's kind of hard to describe, but when you have to do everything yourself, at first, you sort of learn little nuances of the game that eventually enable you to figure out your own playstyle. IMO.

[smoothopurrator]

Great vid and info as always Tater. Learned alot through your vides a few year back when i started my journey in WF.

Advice I'd give to New Tenno, comlete the star chart. Max ranks in open worlds and enjoy the journey. Pick a frame that looks fun & learn modding.

Dont need premo primed mods to be effective 😀👍

[agingerbeard]

The way you say turbulence is like butter in my ears 😅 great video I have a friend getting into the game finally you have great content for new and veteran players!

[Llightmare]

Agreed on the list!

If you're a new player and you've done the Duviri quest and Mesa shows up there DEFINETLY pick her up in that week. Saves a lot of time getting the keys to do her bossfight or begging someone to share their keys with you.
And please, DO NOT FARM NIDUS! GET HIM FROM DUVIRI! You'll thank yourself later for that!
Other people would argue that you should pick up Harrow there as well but his farm is managable.

I chose Mag as a new player. Kinda had a bit energy problems back then but since you get the EQUILIBRIUM Mod now very early on which makes health and energy orbs give you 110% of the other as well, energy isn't that big of an issue anymore. And she's had some amazing QoL regarding her 1 which now pulls enemies in a vortex right in front of you instead of ragdoling them behind you which makes it really easy to kill them with a melee weapon.

Even though Equinox is a pain to farm I highly recommend picking her up since she can be an amazing support frame which can heal you, give shields and overshields and refill your shields and health to full if enough damage is accumulated with her 4 in night form (don't worry about builds with form switching that keep her 4 active for now, night form is very good at what it has to offer [healing, shielding, sleeping, damage reduction] - saved some levelling on Sedna from being a wipe in the past and yes that can happen when full squad is relatively new to the game and e.g. a speed Nova speeds up everything nonstop even if the damage output of your squad isn't enough)

Gara is also a Frame which you can obtain really early on and she's awesome. High defense, high damage output. If you pair her with a melee weapon you feel comfortable with, she's amazing just stay away from nullifier bubbles!

Another thing I'd like to mention is that when you have a Slow Nova and for example the Soma rifle the Lephantis kill for Nekros is very doable as a solo player. You just have to watch out for Lephantis' attacks and you're good - also no keys needed, just like any other boss mission.

Another pretty easy to get Warframe is Hydroid and he's an awesome one at that! If you're up to the point that you can do his Boss fight on Earth (I think it was Vey Hek) it should be doable for you.

Also do your spy missions on the different Tiers of planets to gather up the parts for Ivara. Nice drops that also come while farming for her would be some Cold 60/60 mods which come in handy later on.

All these points mentioned above are from a Solo player. I farmed it all by myself - I even built a Clan Dojo solo in the beginning of my Warframe journey. Try to farm and understand the bosses and their mechanics solo first. Learn how they work, how they can be killed with different Frames/Weapons to get a feel for what you're capable of is the most important advise I could give any new player. And don't be as stupid as I was and build a Dojo by yourself without help. It takes very long if you work a full time job like myself and it costs materials on mass. Spare yourself tha hassle and join one if you can.

Grendel in that opening 😂

A shoutout to always keep your eyes peeled for things like Prime Gaming packages and some of the goofy signup bonuses you can get. I got *massive* mileage out of a free Trinity Prime pack since it came with Vectis and Fang prime, and just the raw power bump was enormous.

That said Trinity outright makes for a very nice frame early on, as having built-in energy and health regeneration + survivability helps out not just you but other new players you might end up running with. And more than *anything*, I found new players have a rough time with energy economy until you either get lucky and happen into a few of the early mods like Hunter Adrenaline or get late enough to unlock some of the busted stuff, so having Energy Vampire lets you actually make pretty regular use of your abilities.

[thatonepenguinperson]

For Nova, i ALWAYS try to run with neutral speed (70% power strength) in public because it's just the safest way to not get complaints from other randoms. The only problem is when someone has an aura or ability that increases power strength for others like Growing Power/Power Donation, Equinox (Day Form), and Nidus.

[Eye]

When I swapped from console to pc, a completely new account. I just invested in Excalibur, ran the entire star chart, most of the story missions with just Excalibur. Got mods and put many forma into him. I just used Excalibur for the about 70-100 hours lol. Though I had already played a lot on console and knew what I was doing. I eventually went through and got all the frames since then, but it was fun. Most new players don't realize pretty much any frame can be good with the right build and if you know which weapons to get early on that can run any content can help to.

[isteallittlejewishchildren]

After more than 3000 hours and about 60% of those hours being on either gara or her prime, I would say she is more than pretty good. I even made a build which uses 0 forma but still kills steal path. My best advice for new players looking to use gara though would be to pick up all of her augments from steel meridian as soon as possible or ask someone if they can give them to you. After that spend a little bit of time looking through her abilities and at guides showcasing how she works. One thing ALL of these guides seem to lack however is and mention of armour on gara. It’s strange because stacking both armour and her 2nd damage reduction is stupid powerful in all the right ways. Combine that with a larger health pool and both shattered storm augment and mending splinters augment and you are virtually immortal.

Thanks for making this video
Could you make one for veterans or on weapons next?
