Warframe Tier List

Our Warframe Tier List will help you decide which Warframe you’ll want to build to breeze through even the game’s most difficult missions. Just hover over each hero’s portrait to see all info available.

Since its initial release back in 2013, Warframe has steadily became one of the best free-to-play PvE, multiplayer shooter games in the market. Set in an evolving world where factions fight for dominion, Warframe centers around one thing – its heroes (called Warframes), which are the heart and soul of how you play the game.

With ninja-like playstyle, fast paced combat, hundreds of different loot variations and a ton of lore to unpack, Warframe delivers a highly entertaining but also demanding environment that will easily overwhelm you. Although there is no such thing as the best frame in the game since, every player has a different playstyle, there are so many to choose from, each with their own unique abilities and perks. Furthermore the game allows some of them to shine more than others. So at first glance it can feel pretty daunting to decide which of these to select.

Our Warframe Tier List aims to guide you select heroes that best fit in with your personal play style for achieving the best gaming experience available.
