Warframe: Best Clan Dojo Warframes

Warframe is a social game due to its nature as an always online live-service looter-shooter. While much of the content can be completed solo, the experience is greatly enhanced when playing with others, and progression is made a lot easier by the generally friendly community. One of the first things many Warframe players will recommend to any new Tenno is joining a Clan, as this not only gives them a whole roster of people to ask for help, but it also offers them access to several Labs that host the blueprints for incredibly powerful items.

Warframe: 7 Best Warframes For Beginners

For new Tennos, these Warframes will help them start their adventures on the right foot.

This list looks at five of the best Warframes available from within the Clan Dojo Labs, exploring their abilities, use cases, and overall power for players across their Warframe journey. Each of these frames has unique, fun, and interesting playstyles and abilities, making each of them a must-try, if only to see how well they match a player’s style of play. Several of these frames have Prime variants, which are stronger iterations of them, geared toward later game players to give them the boost needed to compete in the endgame.

Yareli

Magical Surfer Girl

Main blueprint acquired through The Waverider quest; component blueprints from the Ventkids’ Bash Lab
Warframe Categories: Damage, Crowd Control

Yareli is a unique Warframe, blending the quest reward Warframe with the Clan Dojo research Warframe, requiring players to complete the quest “The Waverider” in Fortuna, Venus. Once they complete the quest, they are given Yareli’s main blueprint and are then able to construct the Ventkids’ Bash Lab in the Clan Dojo, where her component blueprints can be researched.

Yareli can be an underwhelming frame at first, revolving heavily around the K-Drive mechanics, which some players find frustrating to get used to. Despite this initial hurdle, Yareli is capable of outputting huge damage with her abilities, locking down enemies with sea snares, and being entirely invulnerable to damage thanks to her trusty sea-faring friend, Merulina.

Nezha

Go Fast, Burn Enemies To Ash

All blueprints acquired from the Tenno Lab
Warframe Categories: Crowd Control, Survival

Nezha is a fantastic early game Warframe that scales quite well into the late game thanks to his ability to turn enemies into healing totems for his allies, burn his enemies to ash, and impale enemies on pillars of flame. Acquired entirely through the Tenno Lab in the Clan Dojo, players can gain access to Nezha very early on, with no Mastery Rank requirement.

Warframe: Best Weapons For Beginners

Warframe is home to a vast array of weaponry. For those just starting out, however, these are the best weapons available.

Nezha is able to outlive many other frames due to his healing and armor-multiplying abilities — and his simple passive to move faster while sliding — making him harder to hit. While he is not the strongest Crowd Control or Survival Warframe in the game, he is an easy option for players looking for somewhere to go after their starter frame has worn thin.

Wukong

Cheat Death

All blueprints acquired from the Tenno Lab
Warframe Categories: Damage, Survival

Another incredible frame for survivability, Wukong has an incredibly powerful passive ability that simply allows him to avoid death several times a mission. Wukong can also summon a twin to fight alongside him, drawing enemy fire away from himself, with his third ability making both himself and his twin invulnerable. Another ability that makes Wukong so potent is his second ability, which allows him to float around on a cloud, healing himself and dazing enemies.

Wukong’s final ability is his exalted weapon, the Iron Staff, which can be independently modded to make it into a deadly melee machine. The Iron Staff has the innate ability to increase its range with each combo multiplier, making a build centered around it a great option for cleaving through hordes of enemies with ease. Wukong is by far one of the best Survival Warframes in the game, and he ranks almost as high within the list of Damage frames.

Volt

Go Even Faster

All blueprints acquired from the Tenno Lab, can be chosen as a starter Warframe
Warframe Categories: Damage

Volt harnesses the power of electricity to shock his enemies and move at lightning-fast speeds, blitzing through missions and tearing through enemies at a frightening pace. Available as a starter frame, although often overlooked in favor of Excalibur, Volt is the first Warframe many players will experience — and is possibly the most fun way to learn the movement tech within Warframe. His passive offers extra damage while moving, emphasizing the kinetic playstyle that Warframe is known for.

Volt’s abilities all revolve around electricity: his first ability sends out a shocking blast to damage enemies; his second gives his whole team a speed boost; and his third produces an electric shield that blocks incoming damage and electrified ally shots, giving them a damage boost. Volt’s final ability lets out a huge wave of electrical energy, paralyzing enemies and dealing huge damage to them.

Dagath

The Rider’s Name Was Death

All blueprints acquired from Dagath’s Hollow

Dagath is the final, and possibly most intimidating, Warframe on this list. Available through the unique Dojo room, Dagath’s Hollow, and requiring a unique resource (Vainthorn), Dagath is possibly the hardest Warframe on this list to obtain — but most definitely worth it for all players. Her abilities cut down her enemies with frightening efficiency, spreading viral damage and Doom around the battlefield. Doom is a unique status that Dagath uses to enhance her damage capabilities, directly increasing her damage output against Doomed enemies.

Dagath’s fourth ability summons a stampede of spectral steeds, trampling enemies in their path and stripping Doomed enemies of their defenses, making her a powerful ally in higher-end content where enemies can be very tanky. With the help of an augment and her third ability, Dagath can become essentially immortal, unable to take damage for large periods of time while dishing out huge amounts of damage to her Doomed foes.
