Choosing your Warframe

After the introductory cinematic, you’ll be given a choice of three Warframes. Your Warframe functions as a kind of exo-armor suit that protects you from enemies and provides you with unique powers. The Warframe you choose will greatly impact your first missions, so choose wisely! Not to worry, this selection is not final. In time you will be able to construct or purchase additional Warframes to master!

Excalibur is a Warframe with a balanced set of powers.

Radial Blind Emits a bright flash of light that temporarily blinds its victims.
Radial Javelin Launches javelins towards enemies, dealing high damage and impaling them to walls.
Exalted Blade Summon a sword of pure light and immense power.

Shock Launches a shocking projectile. It stuns and deals high damage to a single target and chains damage to nearby enemies.
Speed Volt energizes his body and nearby Warframes, giving them increased speed and dexterity for a short time.
Electric Shield Volt deploys an obstacle of energy, providing cover in any situation.
Discharge Paralyze nearby hostiles with a damaging electric charge, this also shocks approaching enemies.

Mag is an expert at energy manipulation by using surrounding magnetic energy.

Pull Magnetic force pulls enemies toward you, stunning them and bringing them into melee range.
Magnetize Creates a magnetic field around a target, ensnaring nearby enemies and dealing damage over time. The field reacts to bullets and shards created from Polarize to increase the damage.
Polarize Emit an energy pulse that depletes enemy shields and armor, creating shards which become deadly when mixed with Magnetize. Shields of allies touched by the pulse are restored.
