Is Jade any good?

[Burba]

I normally play Hildryn but I have been thinking about getting another frame. Jade's abilities look cool and she can fly and that seems like fun. Is she good in harder missions though? I mostly play with at least one other person if that matters.

Also are Jade's weapons good? If I get Jade should I get those too?

Yes

All her abilities either weaken enemies or amplify your teammates' weapons/abilities. I find her 4 kind of underwhelming in higher level missions and I rather use my guns instead of flying. She's definitely a very useful frame.

She can nuke elite archimedean and is near unkillable while floating and regenerating.

Jade can trivialise everything. She's good.

Jade is so far, the one and single warframe where i... cant replace a single ability on the frame cause.. they are all good... have a synnergy...
She has healing, buffs for everyone. Good damage and high mobility. No energy problems at all.
The only thing she.. honestly lacks, is armor stripping (Which is achived through archon shards.)

I see more Jades than I see Dantes these days. So I'm going to say yes

Jade is pretty good, good armor strip, good healing and good survivability in general, her 4 is also pretty good when it comes to exalted weapons which means she pairs decently well with limbo (but not as well as mesa).

I use mods that give her +70% damage resistance while airborne. Handy with her 4th ability and lets you take more hits while reviving teammates with 3rd ability.

This right here is about the perfect way to describe her.
She's basically the perfect support frame so if OP likes team play & being a support they'l love her.

Jade is the Biblical Accurate Angel but in Warframe.

She's fun, trust me on that.

you will see a lot of Dante in EDA

Fun tip - adding Orange Archon Shards to her for Secondary Heat damage to crit chance suits her 4 quite well.

Jades 1 is a solid team heal good till around level 130 enemies (they start outdamaging it because it doesnt scale well unless the target has a 2k+ hp pool).

Jades 2 gives either weapon attack/skill power or shield regen, and can be cycled without needing to recast it (its on a shared timer). It scales extremely well into late game, and casting it while on the shield regen buff gives Iframes.

Jades 3 strips armor/resistances (ive gotten it to 38% per tick) and slows (up to 90%). Keeping this up makes most of the game trivial, because it scales EXTREMELY well with both power and range, and affects most bosses. Its also a 360 degree radius "attack" (it technically does damage) so your enemies are gonna have a bad time.

Jades 4 is...its by far the worst skill the frame has. It allows flight, damage reduction, and the ability to blow up enemies hit by your 1. It has a high energy upkeep, uses too much energy to blow up enemies, and requires 1 to reliably get targets for said explosions. It also doesnt scale all that well to power, so unless you spend alot of time getting tau crystals its not gonna be that useful.

Yes Jade is amazing. Jades weapons, not as amazing but ok (you could force them to be amazing but itd take alot of work).

Really you can just use an ok weapon, keep Jades 2/3 active, use 1 when needed for healing, and fight level cap enemies with a bit of difficulty. With a good weapon you can do it without said difficulty.

Jade is pretty great, her bow isn't amazing, her throwing knives have a fun gimmick that is a little too tough to use to make good, and her melee is one of the strongest melee weapons in the game currently.

I built around staying in her 4 and she's a lot of fun that way. Put Nourish over her 1, then keep all 4 abilities up and shoot everything. Built her Glory around blast damage to go with the viral from Nourish. Then it was just a matter of getting as much fire rate as possible. Lethal Torrent, Anemic Agility, Amalgam Furax Body Count, and Arcane Velocity, and she is a lot of fun for just strafing entire rooms with explosions.
