Warframe is one of those games that takes commitment. And maybe that’s prevented you from jumping into the game, despite how cool it looks. But with The Duviri Paradox finally releasing, now’s a great time to try out the game and see what it’s all about. And one of the biggest and earliest decisions you’ll make when you first start is which Warframe you’ll choose. So, should you choose Excalibur, Mag, or Volt in Warframe’s Duviri Paradox?
Should you Choose Excalibur, Mag, or Volt in Warframe’s The Duviri Paradox
Once you begin The Duviri Paradox, you’ll have the option of picking Excalibur, Mag, and Volt. Each of these Warframes offers a unique playstyle, but don’t let decision anxiety get to you. Eventually, you’ll be able to unlock all three and more.
· Excalibur
Here’s the breakdown of Excalibur’s skills.
Excalibur is a straightforward frame that introduces you to the “Brawler” class. It’s melee centric, and easily the beefiest of the frames. If you enjoy a slow but powerful playstyle. He’s excellent in early game as a tank and is generally well rounded.
· Mag
Here’s the breakdown of Mag’s skills.
Like Excalibur, Mag is a straightforward frame that introduces you to Nuker/Caster frames. She’s frail early game but, when used creatively, can scale as the difficulty of the game increases. She requires investment to really shine.
On the other hand, she’s excellent at defeating Specters that protect planet junctions. This will allow you to unlock planets easier.

· Volt
Here’s the breakdown of Volt’s skills.
Like Excalibur and Mag, Volt is our introduction to the Gunslinger frame. Gunslingers are all about buffing weapons and repositioning enemies, where those weapons will be at an advantage to finish them off. In general, he strides the line between Excalibur and Mag, relying on ranged but also having some defensive capabilities.
The only downside is that Volt, unlike Excalibur, struggles in early game and does better as the game progresses. Especially if you intend to play solo.
Ultimately, the best frame for you is the one that best suits your playstyle. You’ll have more fun that way. If you’re curious about what to expect in The Duviri Paradox, check out the patch notes. It goes in-depth into everything you’ll encounter:Warframe April 26 Update: Full Patch Notes Listed.
