Best Melee warframe

[RayZerKai]

So I'm an old player coming back after a while. Lots of changes and a few new frames, so I was wondering which frame would fit the best for my juggernaut hack-n-slash playstyle? I wanna run up to enemies and just hack them to bits without hving to care much about anything else. I intend on playing with a friend who is ranged. I've heard a lot about Loki, Volt, Valkyr, and Excalibur being good. I would also think Rhino could be. Wukong looks interesting but he's totally new to me and I cant tell from just the abilities on the wiki. Same goes for Atlas. Any suggestions would be great!

Valkyr and Wukong are very good melee frames.

My friend, Volt with Galatine prime is PURE beast. Rhino is also amazing with iron skin, you can go into suicide groups (like bunch of infested) yet still manage to survive, I love it!

While not having any melee related skills (like with Excalibur with Exalted Blade) you can build Zephyr to use Turbulence with the augment to be able to go around killing things relatively fast (and buffing your squadmates with a buff that works similar to Volt's Speed making them go fast) while allowing you to deflect enemy projectiles (doesn't work against melee enemies). I find it pretty fun going around with Galatine Prime or Mios to kill all the things with her and not really having to worry about too much (makes Grineer and Corpus trivial unless a nullifer is around and Infested will be even more of a cakewalk for you), though you could use any melee weapon you wanted really. Plus you don't see very many Zephyrs around in most missions anyways. You can get her from the Tenno Lab in a clan dojo who has the research done.

my nekros prime with the despoil health conversion combo with steel charge and coaction drift is pretty monsterous with a primed reach maiming strike atterax....

[RayZerKai]

Thanks for the replies. Nekros doesnt look interesting to me sadly. Just a preference thing, might still try him. Volt and Rhino are my two favorites right now, for the two different styles they give. I'll have to look at Zephyr and try to see one in action. Zephyr release was the last time I played.

Saryn can be pretty fun if u build her for toxic lash. It spreads the spores and will give you 30% toxin damage with a 100% status chance.

Inaros powerless berserker build. Just don't care about its powers and focus on health, armor, Steel Charge aura with Coaction Drift to make the aura even stronger, Rage and Flow so you can effortlessly melee channel and fill the remaining slot with Handspring so you don't laze around on the floor when knocked down.
It's honestly extremely mindless and all you do is melee and melee and melee while your enemies try to get rid of your over 5000 health and over 700 armor with Inaro's 4. If you ever get low health, just throw sand at your oponent's eyes and you'll pretty quickly restore your health to max with a couple of finishers, or one single finisher if you have Life Strike in your melee and channel it before doing the finisher move.

This. I easily handle level 100 infested with my inaros and his gas crit/attack speed berserker tekkos.

Loki master race

[mama's boy]

Excalibur/Mirage/Inaros/Equinox/Ivara/Banshee with a gas weapon.

Inaros dosent have any melle abilities, but he has the highest modable hp (4k) and is tanky, and his playstyle is easily melle focus. Same goes for Nekros and volt.

Wukong, excalibur and valk have melle abilities and a high melle focus.

Atlas is tanky and melle focused. His abilities are more punching then hack and slash, but still really fun.

[ThcWhale]

Volt with a high meele weapon would be suggested, very fast killing indeed lol

[ThcWhale]

aslo if ya wanna play sometime msg me

[Sceles]

If you want to actually use your weapon then Inaros is the best, in addition to being extremely durable he synergizes well with life strike and he can also make the enemies more vulnerable to melee hits with his desiccation ability. Excalibur is the best skill melee, but Atlas is also very powerful and also faster at clearing under lvl100 mobs than these two.

[Milinko]

Galantine Prime mixed with an unkillable Wukong is a very solid fun choice that can hold out for a while but for fast kills go for Excal. Valkyr isn't the easiest to build for unless you have the right focus build because her energy drain gets worse the the other 2.
