Warframe builds library

Warframe build library

Disclaimer: These pages are a work in progress as I update and add new content. The builds shared here are inspired by the community, drawing on ideas from various creators, forums, and shared experiences. Each frame will have its own dedicated page following the outlined format.

The idea behind this is to create a build library. Why? Three reasons: first, it’s a bit of a pet project. I enjoy tracking existing builds and updating them as the game evolves. Second, it gives me a reason to revisit frames and keep things fresh. And third, it’s about collecting and sharing knowledge—both my own and that of the community—in one spot.

A quick note on augments: they’re mostly quality-of-life options, although some can enhance power. I’ll highlight when they’re used in the table below. As for Helminth, it’s another quality-of-life option—nice to have but not essential. The Helminth system adds an extra layer to builds, allowing you to replace any ability with one from a preselected list. It’s worth mentioning that you’ll need to unlock the system and sacrifice non-Prime frames to gain access to these abilities. If you’d like to dive deeper, the Wiki explains the system in detail, including a comprehensive list of available abilities.

I’m going to explain each build and why specific choices are made. These builds are largely overkill, so adjust them to suit your resources and collection. You don’t need this level of optimisation. Do you need this level of power? No. That’s why I’ll also explain what you should focus on, along with other options, including budget-friendly choices. Each page is in the following format
