Your Ship, The Liset

your ship

Once your first mission is complete, you’ll find yourself aboard your personal ship, which will serve as your base between missions. Initially the Liset will be missing vital segments, but these will become available as you complete tutorial missions.

The Arsenal segment will allow you modify your Loadout as you acquire additional weapons and Warframes. You can also change the appearance of your Warframe and weapons by equipping cosmetics and changing their colour schemes.

As your Weapons and Warframes level up through use, they’ll be able to accommodate more powerful mods. Your Warframe’s base stats will also increase as they level up.

The Market is where you purchase Warframes, weapons, cosmetics, blueprints, consumables, and other items. Blueprints will commonly be available for Credits, while other items may require Platinum instead to purchase them.

Sometimes deals will allow you to acquire items at lower prices, and bundles are available to save on multiple items at once.

navigation

Missions are selected from The Navigation Console. The readouts will tell you the enemy faction present in that mission as well as their average level, to help you decide if you’re ready to tackle it. More missions will become available as you complete the ones already unlocked for you.

You can also consult the top-right of the navigation screen to see which Foundry resources will be present at that location.

The Mod Station lets you sell unwanted mods, or transform them into new mods. You can even use spare mods to further increase the strength of your most used mods.

foundry

The Foundry allows you to construct items from the blueprints you’ve acquired. Once you’ve collected the component resources, you can begin construction, although there is a build time before the item is available to use.

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.

Slash Dash Dash between enemies while slashing with the Exalted Blade.
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.

Volt can create and harness electrical elements. This is a high-damage Warframe perfect for players who want a potent alternative to gun-play.

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.
Crush Magnetizes the bones of nearby enemies, causing them to collapse upon themselves.

These robust Warframes will serve you well during your exploits and are capable of completing any mission. Remember you can still choose other Warframes to test out other play-styles and experiment with new powers.
