Thought experiment: if you had to Iron Man the star chart with a single frame, who would it be? (dormi.zone)

The following restrictions apply:

Account is totally fresh
Joining a clan for blueprints is allowed
Every node must be done solo
No trading, except for transferring a prime set of the frame of your choice (if a prime exists)
Specters and Skaut are allowed, but please note if your strategy would require them for certain nodes
Helminth abilities are allowed

Off the top of my head, my top picks for this challenge would be Nyx, Limbo, Octavia and Frost since they have good CC and objective defense, and good weapon support; "complete" frames if you will. Loki, Zephyr and Banshee would all also be good picks, although missing elements from their kit here and there.

Qorvex. Can be insanely tanky but can also be built for insane clear, can also have good CC, and can have great single target damage with damage amp and armor strip. He can literally do it all.

Further elaborated:

His base armor is the highest in the game, by far. If you want to be extra tanky, toss all 3 umbral mods on, use adaptation, quick thinking, and the arcane that gives you energy based off of armor. Bonus points for rage and health regen. The only thing that can kill you is a rad proceed player or the last tick of a jade eximus beam, because that doesn't seem to do damage, it just kills you outright.

Clear wise, his 4 is absolutely nutty. Every target hit by the beam does an explosion of radiation damage, and that radius scales with ability range, and his 4 has crazy punch through. So, if you fire it into a crowd, every enemy will get hit with the damage a number of times equal to the number of enemies close by. "But that requires enemies being grouped!" I hear you say. Luckily, his 2 does that quite nicely. Additionally, his 1 honestly does pretty high damage, scales great with range, and doesnt require building duration.

Cc wise, his 1 is great, slowing enemies and rad proccing does well for CC, and his 2 is great as well.

Damage wise, he has an augment that lets his 2 armor strip, and makes enemies take more damage.

He's an absolutely terrific frame, 10/10 highly recommend

Ooh thats tough, my initial instinct is Citrine, but I use an Archon build for her that would be a nightmare to get myself to. Probably Mag, Zephyr, or Titania in the end. Titania in particular takes very little to get off the ground and is way less vulnerable to the random toxin proc then Mag is.

I think the big limiter here would be excavation maps. Zephyr would be my pick, as long as I can also use some sort of operator mode for spy, but i don't think it's strictly necessary. An un-forma'd Zephyr is steel path capable. ETA: 100% projectile defense for you and the thing you're standing next to is just too good.

[–] asqapro@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

Zephyr has been my main for a long time and would be an easy pick for this. Breeze through mobile defense with turbulence, tornado for everything else except spy. As long as you know the spy routes, operator just makes things even easier.

[–] sandriver@dormi.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Personally I'm more anxious about Aten, since the mobile defense consoles are already squishy and aren't scaled for the T4 void multiplier. They can go down in seconds.

[–] ryo@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 1 month ago

If it’s doing the whole thing in one sitting, titania is the obvious choice.

[–] kar@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gauss if obtainable would be a very fun frame to Iron Man. However Sedna is quite late so I don't know if he'd count.

[–] sandriver@dormi.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Considerations like that are why I decided you can trade a prime set over so that more frames are available from the start.

In the ideal thought experiment, you'd just start with the frame.

[–] Keegen@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Octavia for sure! Not only is her toolkit good at basically everything, her passive helps with one of the worst early game problems, energy economy. Not being forced to rely entirely on energy drop RNG to be able to maintain your abilities is liberating before Zenurik and other energy generators kick in.

[–] Faydaikin 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Of the starter Frames, I'd say Mag. Hell, even endgame she's my go-to when shit gets tough.

[–] sandriver@dormi.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd be interested in a solo Mag playthrough, but I wonder how the early grind towards the mods she needs would be.

[–] Didros 3 points 1 month ago

It was years ago now, but normal mag is still my most used frame on my account since she was my starter. She kicks ass, has great Cc and damage.

[–] skimm@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

I'd probably roll Lavos. With a good weapon, Lavydaddy can solo most steel path stuff so I imagine cruising through the star map wouldn't be a major issue.
