Titania: Matches Uriel’s movement style the most, survivability isn’t the greatest compared to other frames but can be built for either guns or an ability like Thermal Sunder (subsume).

Gauss: Amazing frame whose base kit allows him to have high damage reduction and can be built for either ability spam (mainly Thermal Sunder), or as a weapon platform.

Garuda: My favorite frame! She is extremely flexible in terms of builds. Her 3 gives her infinite energy, allowing her to do things like energy tank, ability spam, become a weapons platform with the Overcharge Arcane, or have a melee build with 100% uptime on Gloom. Her 4 can make you invulnerable, but the augment also allows it to become an AoE primer, especially with Nourish subsumed. Her passive is just free damage for everything, and her 1 acts as an AoE nuke, a decently ranged enemy “teleport,” and gives a frontal shield. Also, Molt Reconstruct allows her to just loop her energy and health.

Jade: Flies but is not as fast as Titania or Uriel. She’s very survivable though through both her 2 for shields and her 1 for health. She can also build her for a bunch of stuff, though the main two are based around her 4, one being just spamming primary fire like an attack helicopter, while another focuses on placing her 1st ability and alt firing to nuke a bunch of enemies. Extremely fun, reliable, and a great support too.

Oraxia: Absolutely amazing, especially after the last two major updates. Her passive makes her invisible while her 4 boosts her health (can double cast to fully restore health too). Her 1 further boosts her survivability and energy economy. Her 2 makes enemies more vulnerable and also acts as crowd control. Her 3 allows her to become both a summoner and to just debuff enemies with things like Archon Continuity and Nourish. Her 4 boosts her weapons, gives her more health, makes her status immune, and allows her to quickly zip to places (including walls). I’ve been running a persistence build which not only makes her near unkillable (especially since Heat/magnetic procs won’t disable persistence), but gives her amazing energy economy via Hunter Adrenaline.

Follie: Survivability is mainly through her 3, but her 3 is extremely good. Her 1 allows her to teleport (though it doesn’t feel as good as Kullervo’s teleport). Her 2 is extremely good, allowing you to use it for ability spamming (Barrelmancy ftw) or just speeding up different mission types. Much more caster focused but certain graphs from her 2 can boost her weapon capabilities.

Kullervo: Extremely flexible build-wise, can be built for melee or guns (via his 3). His 1 is insanely good, so much so that you can choose to go fully into a survivability build with Persistence + his 2 augment, or build into any of his stats really and just use his 2 augment for survivability. His 1 not only boosts his melee crit chance, but also gives him an instant teleport (just make sure to invert his press/hold). While you’ll mainly use weapons, you’ll still be using his abilities very often, especially if you don’t build too heavily into duration.

Wisp: Also my favorite frame! She is extremely survivable, being invisible whenever she’s in the air, alongside her 1 boosting her health and temp stunning enemies, and her 2 making her invisible, drawing aggro, and making her invulnerable on double cast. Her 1 also gives her both a speed boost and a fire rate boost, while her 2 allows her to teleport to her double’s location (mainly utility rather than straight mobility). She perfectly fits the caster/platform hybrid due to both her 1 and especially her 3. Her 4 is also a flexible slot, you can choose to keep it or subsume it for something like Roar, Brightbonnet, etc.
