There is always a better option than Zephyr for every situation.Īsh had a niche role before the nerf to Covert Lethality. Tornados can be an OK CC, but modern Warframe highly prioritizes damage over OK CC.

There are plenty of baseline ways to move quickly and efficiently with any frame, making Zephyr’s signature movement ability nearly worthless.

Her lighter airborne physics can be interesting, but when you swap frames often it just ends up being disorienting and frustrating. Why take all the time to absorb and redirect enemy attacks when you can instead just kill them outright in a quarter of the time? Why mind control an enemy that won’t keep up with you and when they do happen to get an attack off will do almost no damage? Zephyr There’s no need to make enemies fight each other when you can just kill them instead with any of the great AoE frames that exist. CC frames have lost their place in the modern game, and unlike Vauban, Nyx has not gotten enough of a rework to remain relevant. Unfortunately, despite being better than she was before, the meta of the game has moved past her. Nyx used to be one of my favorite Warframes when she first came out. Her abilities do almost nothing, but she still dies very quickly. However, what ends up happening in the fast based Warframe gameplay is that none of her abilities have any impact on the fight. She is meant to be a caster type Warframe that manipulates the environment to her advantage, with the downside of being in the lowest armor tier in the game.

Despite having such a cool aesthetic, Mag is extremely underwhelming. The worst of the three beginning choices – Mag. Using the enemies you have devoured for his other abilities does almost nothing.Įven if you didn’t have to eat enemies to power his abilities, Grendel would still not be good because his abilities just do so little. Your reward for actually using Grendel’s slow, small AoE devour is an energy drain. Even is you play the absorb minigame well, the payout is miniscule. Grendel is extremely clunky to use effectively.
