Mesa

If you are looking for the best frame in Warframe, then Mesa is the one you should go for. She will not disappoint you when it comes to attacking enemies from close or ranged engagements.

Gender Female
Theme Gunslinger

Saryn

Saryn is the master of inflicting various status effects on enemies. Moreover, the status effects applied on enemies by her abilities and weapons last 25% longer.

Trinity

If you are looking for the best healer frame in the game, Trinity is the one you need to keep an eye out for. All of her abilities either grant direct healing to allies or steal and channel them from foes to teammates.
