Warframe: Warframe Tier-Liste

Update 41.1 brought a shift to the current Warframe meta, which made tankier frames stronger, with Revenant and Dante still topping survivability rankings among all warframes. Saryn maintains dominance with spores, Protea has newfound relevance with shields and artillery, and more people are abandoning Wukong than ever.

Saryn Prime retains her position among the best S-tier frames in 2026, her spores decimating game modes and frames alike.

Revenant Prime, with its Mesmer Skin ability that absorbs damage and stuns attackers, gives him exceptional survivability while still being able to deal potent AoE damage.

Mesa Prime is able to clear rooms of enemies with auto-targeting regulators and trivialize incoming damage with Shatter Shield.

Wisp Prime is a one-stop shop that provides buffs and debuffs using Motes, and her Reservoir persists across objective-based missions, providing unparalleled support.

Octavia Prime offers infinite damage scaling. Paired with damage reflect and invisibility, she's perfect for people who prefer brain-dead gameplay.

Dante, even after significant nerfs, is still able to perform at exceptional levels, thanks to his Overguard, allowing him to provide team-wide regen while dealing damage.

Protea, with Shield Satellites, Blaze Artillery, and Dispensary, gives her the ability to clear every mission type.

Khora Prime can lock down rooms with Strangledome and clear them with Whipclaw. This gives her excellent farming capabilities.

Nekros Prime and his abilities to double resource mod drops and generate shields make him an irreplaceable member of any team looking to grind for prime versions.

Volt Prime, with his ability to AoE nuke while providing a projectile filter, makes him a favorite for the sub-DPS role.

Gauss for survivability, Citrine for buffs, Baruuk Prime for damage scaling, Harrow for energy buffs and Ivara Prime for stealth — these frames ranked among the A-tier specialists.

Equinox Prime, a B-tier frame capable of both nuke and heal, can only do so by switching between Day and Night forms, making her performance inconsistent.

Vauban Prime, although buffed, is still only at the level where he finally feels viable at best.

Wukong Prime, Frost Prime, Loki Prime, Ember Prime, and Nezha Prime all have their uses, but overall just don't offer enough to crack the A-tier list.

Hydroid Prime got a rework to fix his gameplay, but still lags behind all other Crowd Control options.

Inaros Prime has nothing to show for it but a claim to the highest HP in the game. Without any means to preserve it, he loses it even more quickly than other frames.

Limbo Prime, Banshee Prime, and Mag Prime all offer hyper-specific niches that other frames offer, but in a more reliable way.

Yareli and Nyx Prime, the warframes in this tier, are at the bottom of this Warframe tier list because their kits are simply incompatible with the current state of the game.
