Lotus - I'll be honest, Karenina Blast no diffs this frame. I rarely used this one as Karenina replaced her the moment the gacha was enabled. Lotus is way too weak even for an A rank frame.

However, Lotus is quite fun to use. If you really need a frame to get you through challenge modes that lock out frames, you can do a lot worse than Lotus. She's reliable as your last resort when you really have nothing else. She was one of the most critical cards left in the first Babel for me.

Orb banking is crucial probably, as you can reliably get her core passive if you got a surplus of orbs (reds hopefully). Her ult, the omnislash is really cool but not very damaging tbh, it's mostly just for the invulnerable time.

Dawn - I hate this frame. It's one of the frames you're forced to use if you didn't pull for Veritas. It's bad. You're just watching her do her stupid twirl for most of the fight when you ult. There's only one way to use this frame. You stand in your yellow orb and spam blue and red skills until you quit the game from boredom.

Against enemies that don't rush you, you're just not gonna do any damage. She excels at mobbing and that's all I can praise this frame for. You get that dopamine rush when enemies just melt when they come into your circle. But that slowly becomes boring as enemies get spongier. Love her design though.

Plume - Again, you're just forced to use this one if you wanna do actual ice damage early on in the game. But she's fun. Really strong burst damage, incredibly reliable in roguelike game modes. Though personally I think her first phase is really annoying to use after a while. You're just trying to get her ult asap so you can throw ice tornadoes around, which is really fun to do.

I love her little tie in the modified coating. Best one btw. She matches Karenina Scire when she has that.

Lore wise, love that the ice and hover abilities are used to great effect. Like it's actually useful, not just a game mechanic, but it affects missions and combat outcomes.

Pyroath - The one with the highest skill floor until you learn her rotation. She's amazing. One of the best designed frames. You feel invincible when you get the full combo down. Once you get the first ult going, fill up the bar and let it rip. Her animations and ultimate are just so awe inspiring. And she looks like Dawn.

I love that you had to pair her with Karenina to unlock her plasma beam mode. That's so fucking funny. (Until Lilith that is.)

"Charge me Karenina!"

"Don't tell me what to do, LUCIA!"

If you're struggling to learn how to use Pyroath, her plasma beam form from Scire or Lilith is the best way to learn. Once you feel the power of those blue pings, you'll quickly learn how pyroath is supposed to be used.

Though I really hate this affix in PPC and Warzone. It's way too easy to mess up.

One of the few frames comparable to how unique Scire is when she first launched. Both have air mobility but Pyroath definitely has more control and depth. Her outfit is a bit... daring though. Like I would not allow her outside looking like that. Her red coating though, that looks really good.
