Warframe Tier list 2022

Warframe Tier list 2022

Broken up war frames into archetypes, should make any tier list easier to create.  Each frame can be seen as a tool, support, DPS, tanks, crowd control and farmer frames. Many frames have similar uses with loads of overlap. Brief description of each archetype. 

  • Support – Frames which offer buff and debuffs, various bonuses which benefit the squad. 
  • DPS – Damage focused frames who kit or parts focus on it. 
  • Tanks – Frames which offer some survival tools allows them to absorb damage. 
  • Crowd control – Focus on controlling enemies
  • Farmer – Make it easier to frame resources or increase the odds

Rating system what does each tier mean. 

S completely broken, A great, B good, C niche, D rework is required
