Is Hildryn good?

[Unity's Helm]

I have been using her for awhile. But I need to know if there are other frames I should play.

[Draykoss]

shes pretty decent but there are better, if you want a proper dps queen you may wanna check out mesa, saryn, khora, octavia, gara, or protea, others are also quite good but these are kinda the top nukes/dps frames that come to mind

[Shard of Manus]

She's incredibly good.

Has great DPS, armour/shield strip, CC, Energy generation for allies, tankiness, shield buffs for allies and status affliction removal.

[[Meyo]Frakura]

Think Iranos but high shield instead of health and probably better ability.

Good "always on" tank because shields regen, has an extra-long shield-gate, it's extremely easy to strip armour/shields and sustain your own shields, and has a nice crowd-control 4 ability. Also, she makes shield-health companions very tanky if equipped with Link Shields

Downsides are having overall less-effective abilities against Infested than against other factions (her 3 augment can help) and Toxin damage will completely ruin her day

She 100% covers my tanking needs, even with that toxin drawback. So in terms of answering the question of other frames to look at, it would be more of a matter of other roles (DPS, support, defense, etc) that she's less effective at

it is worth mentioning that helminth can infuse hildryn with the "rebuild shields" ability, making it possible to instantly restore shields.

otherwise, i really like rhino when it comes to tank frames.

i also feel titania is a bit under-appreciated at times. it has great mobility (obviously, since it can fly), and the pixia pistols are incredibly powerful in the right context.
can also be modded to essentially fly "forever", and can literally go at the speed of sound with the "right" but very specific modding.
it is not my go-to frame, but very fun to play.

The problem is the cost is pretty high compared to Pillage (at least when I tested it), and still costs shields rather than energy. You're also still spending shields to rebuild them, and if the ability is more expensive, it might not be worth it. It also can't give you overshields, strip armour/shields from enemies, or cleanse status debuffs either like her Pillage can.

(I would, however, consider subsuming either of those abilities on other shieldframes, like Harrow)

As good as the player, like all warframes, altough she does have some unique things, namely
- Energy siphon makes her invincible for most situations, do be carefull with eximus and toxin damage
- You can spam abilities without ever having to look if you have "energy", you simply need time to regain shields to cast more abilities, so it's almost a cooldown of sorts
- With max range on both weapon and abilities, her 1st becomes one of the best mob clearing abilities in the game, with no knockback or ammo concerns, so if you like the bramma, balefire can easily surpass it, damage wise it's not that high, but the advatages are just too good.

she's a great support tank, except vs infested, who have no shield or armor to strip, and tend to have a lot of energy leach eximus units, which drain her shields.
