Which Warrame should I choose? (Starter Frames)

[Perilous]

Which Warframe out of Excalibur, Volt and Mag should I choose? Which is best?

[IrationalFear]

For your first, there's two positives to Excaliber that put him above the other two.
1) He has more health and a meaningful amount of armor, which I found much more usefull for survival and reaction time than the extra shields of Volt or Mag (or Loki) when first starting.
2) Excaliber compenents drop on one of the last bosses on the star chart, while Mag components drop on the easiest boss in the game (and just on the fourth planet), and building Volt doesn't require component farming or difficulty at all, just clan membership. For a new player wanting to try all three, the only way you'll be able to while still in the "early game", is to start with Excal.

Once you have tried all three, you can adjust your playstyle as you choose--those wanting a tank can get Rhino very early, or Valkyr with a bit of effort, and those wanting a more potent caster can go for Ember.


There is no "best" frame, though there is a top-tier list for late-game viability. It's best to find which frames fit your playstyle best instead of rushing right to the end game selection.

Locking as necroed and at this point obsolete (OP was a beginner year ago, his question was already answered).
