(Spoilers)Warframes: Where and How to get all of them (The Shadowgrapher Update)

In this guide I will not only teach how to get every Warframe, but also teach how to get started as a newbie Tenno. I will not only teach the various methods and steps, but also leave my personal opinions on how I feel about grind/Warframe itself. (Some I might not do, because they were piss easy to get.)

Before you begin your hunt there are some basic things you need to know.

Firstly, you get to choose between 3 starter frames when you play the game for the first time.
These frames are:

• Excalibur
  
• Volt
  
• Mag

If you pick one of these frames you'll get the other 2 later so don't worry about missing out. All 3 of them are good in there own right.

Excalibur
Lets start with the poster boy of Warframe Excalibur. Excalibur is a melee-based frame for basic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. His passive depends on what kind of melee weapon you bring on a mission. These include: Swords, Dual swords, Nikanas (Samurai swords/Katanas), Rapiers, and his 4th ability. But, he does just as well with any other melee weapon unless you wish to capitalize on the damage bonus.

Volt
Volt is a strong frame especially against Corpus or shield enemies. He mainly deals electric damage. In my personal experience, I started out with Volt when I first played the game. His passive increases his damage based the distance traveled on ground with a cap. This is where his 2nd ability comes in handy.

Mag
Thanks to the introduction of shield gating and improvements to it, Mag is a very solid frame to have. She has a good amount of shields, and 3rd ability is where she truly shines giving her surviability and defense stripping.

When you get to your Orbiter (your ship) you will notice that the game gives you free 50 platinum. I recommend you use them to buy: Slots, Orokin Catalysts, or Orokin Reactors. (Or be a dummy like me, and buy a Syandana when I first started out lol.) Also some Warframes are locked behind Mastery Rank requirements. In order to raise Mastery Rank you can do the following in your current state:

• Max rank Warframes, weapons, companions to level 30
  
• Complete missions for the first time
  
• Win against specters in a Junction for the first time

By this point you should be MR1, but first before that you must complete a MR test before you rank up. The MR1 test is a simple exterminate with your primary, so be sure to mod your primary well. As you increase your MR, the number of required mastery points increases as well. This however does come with benefits.
These benefits include:

• Access to certain quests (Important prerequisite to get certain Warframes main blueprints)
  
• Increase cap for mod capacity (Allows you to equip more mods on unranked Warframes or weapons)
  
• Unlocks access to stronger weapons (When you craft them of course)

In order to move on to new planets on star chart you must defeat specters in Junctions. But, in order to face specters you must complete the required objectives for the Junctions. You can only access 2 Junctions on Earth which are Venus and Mars. To unlock Venus:

• Complete Vor's Prize (The introduction for the game)
  
• Use Fusion to rank up any Mod (This is very important to use during your lifetime in the game assuming you have the right amount of endo and credits)

To unlock Mars:

• Complete Once Awake (To unlock this quest you must defeat the specter in the Mercury Junction)
  
• Collect 250 Rubedo on Earth during missions (The red crystals)

From Venus once you get to the Mercury Junction:

• Defeat the Jackal at Fossa on Venus (Important for one of the Warframes that I'll explain later)
  
• Complete 6 waves of Defense at Tessera in a single mission (To make it easier on you join a squad, and do not extract on the 3rd wave keep going until the 6th wave)
  
• Complete the Quest Vox Solaris (An important quest for a frame)

This is very important to know about Warframes, but every Warframe is separated into 4 blueprints.
These blueprints are: The Main Blueprint, Systems Blueprint, Neuroptics Blueprint, and Chassis Blueprint. Each of these four blueprints have different sets of resources you must collect in order to complete them. Once you have the necessary amount of resources it is time to cook. (And no I'm not talking Breaking Bad cooking.) Systems, Neuroptics, Chassis require 12 hours to cook in the Foundry. However, once they finish cooking the main Warframe must cook for 3 days. Yes I know, but patience is a virtue. While you wait for it to finish cooking I would suggest you do other stuff in the game like, raise your MR, start farming for Void Relics which contain Forma or prime parts (primes are stronger than base), unlock more Junctions, get more endo to rank up mods, or go do real life stuff like touching grass reading more guides about the game to brush up your knowledge. Once it is complete, congratulations you've unlocked your first crafted Warframe. Now stick a Orokin Reactor up it's ass. (If you still have the one you bought or you got one as a reward for unlocking the Venus Junction).

Important Warning: Do not and I repeat do not use platinum to rush the blueprints you're only wasting it. Use it for the stuff I recommended it for. If you do this you're on own to get yourself out. (Not my platinum anyway.)

Nyx's main blueprint can be purchased from the market. Her component blueprints can be obtained by defeating Phorid during Phorid Manifestations on any planet. Just aim for it's hind legs. Other than that she is also available in The Circuit.
Personal Opinion: Phorid ain't too bad just make sure you are well modded. Just be careful of his scream. Rhino is the first craftable Warframe you can get. His main blueprint can be purchased in the market. His component blueprints can be obtained by defeating The Jackal on Fossa, Venus. First attack one of it's legs. Then, avoid the laser walls, and once it's on the ground mercy it with your Parazon. After that rinse and repeat until it is dead. He can also be obtained the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: As long as you know what you're doing you'll be fine. Excalibur's main blueprint can be purchased in the market. His component blueprints can be obtained by defeating Lech Kril on War, Mars. First, aim for his glowing spot on his back, then wait for him to freeze himself. Once he is frozen, attack him, then do this again 3 more times until he is in his second phase. Once he is in his second go all out until he is dead. Excalibur can also be obtained in the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: His first phase is the most annoying thing about this fight because of how long it takes for him freeze himself. Just do the Circuit. Mag's main blueprint can be purchased in the market. Her component blueprints can be obtained by defeating The Sergeant on Iliad, Phobos. He is just a regular Corpus Crewman just blitz the ♥♥♥♥ out of him. Just be sure to keep track of him when he is invisible. She can also obtained in the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: DE I'm still waiting for Nef Anyo to be a boss. Frost is the same like the earlier ones. His component blueprints can be obtained by defeating Captain Vor and Lech Kril on Exta, Ceres. Seriously, I don't need to explain how to fight these 2. Just do the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: Thank you DE for introducing the Circuit. Same as before, main is found in the market. Her components can be obtained by defeating Alad V on Themisto, Jupiter. Fight is not complicated, first drain Alad's shields, then destroy Zanuka, then kill Alad simple. She is also obtainable in the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: Fight is simple if you know what you're doing. Same as before, main blueprint in the market. His components can be obtained by defeating Lephantis on Magnacidium, Deimos. Lephantis has 2 phases, and can a be real drag. Each head has a weak spot: Grineer- Mouth and Neck, Corpus- Mouth, Infested- Neck. The first phase will have each head popping from the ground. Just be careful of the Grineer as it will do heavy damage. Then, the second phase is just the same as the first, except you fight all the heads at the same time with the main body.
Personal Opinion: Hey have you met my friend the Circuit? It's a blessing in disguise. Same as before, main blueprint in the market. His components can be obtained by defeating Vay Hek on Oro, Earth. However, in order to fight Vay Hek you must be MR5. I'll tell you right you're better off getting Hydroid in the Circuit. Let me tell you he is annoying as hell to fight, and the reason for that is in his first phase. Okay so first off, just skip ahead to his boss area, unless want to reduce his health beforehand the choice is yours. Kay so firstly you only damage him while his face mask is off, and secondly he will proc Magnetic on you to drain your energy. Meaning this fight is a real drag. Once you drain all of his health, it's time for his second phase. At least here, you can wail on him without worrying about invulnerability. Also available in the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: Coral Blue #2 Semi-Gloss Lipstick wearing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. By this point you should know the drill. Her components can be obtained by defeating the Raptors on Naamah, Europa. You have fight 3 Raptors in a row one at a time. When you defeat a Raptor it will drop a power cell. You must drop it in the Gravity Conveyor by switching to your primary when you are on top of it. You must do this 3 times, but you can also get her in the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: Just make sure you know what you are doing. By this point you should know the song and dance. His components can be obtained by defeating the Hyena Pack on Psamathe, Neptune. The Hyena Pack are 4 Hyena proxies each with different ablities. Light blue deals Cold, yellow will deal Heat, green will deal Slash and Puncture, and Dark blue will deal Electricity and Magnetic. My suggestion is to deal dark blue first since it can deal magnetic the one proc you don't want. Next, go after light blue, then the other 2 should be easier. You can also get him in the Circuit too.
Personal Opinion: You can go through the chore of doing starchart just to get to Neptune, or do the Circuit your choice. You know what to do. Her components can obtained by defeating Sargas Ruk on Tethys, Saturn. Let me advise you do the Circuit. He is not as bad as Lech Kril, but it's the waiting for the weak spots to open up. You need hit three glowing weak spots throughout the fight. His first weak point will be on his shoulder. Second weak point will be on his back. Final weak point will be on his chest.
Personal Opinion: It is the waiting that kills me, literally. Well this is going to be fun to talk about. Main in market, alright let us address the elephant in the room. Equinox has 8 blueprints you must get in order to complete her, and is the only Warframe with 8 blueprints. Because you need the to craft her Day and Night Aspects which have their own 3 traditional blueprints. Honestly, your better off trying for her prime, unless you to get squadmates that have relics that contain her parts. Even then she is vaulted for the time being, or until another prime resurgence. In order to get these parts you must defeat Tyl Regor on Titania, Uranus. Here is how his fight goes:

1. Drop his health to a certain point.
2. Kill the Manics, then drop his health to certain point again.
3. Jump to the top floor, kill the Manics and Bombards, then kill Regor. Rinse and repeat until you have all 8 blueprints.
   Personal Opinion: Why didn't you put her in the Circuit DE, come on.

You know the usual when it comes to these frames. Let me point you in the right direction of the Circuit, now go get em tiger. Her components can be obtained by defeating Ambulas on Hades, Pluto which requires 5 Animo Nav Beacons to access. And in order to get the beacons you have defeat an Ambulas the spawns only on the Corpus Outpost tileset. That is why I recommended the Circuit over this. Here is how the fight goes:

1. Defeat the Ambulas unit then hack it, before the timer runs out. (That is right I said timer.)
2. Defend Ambulas from being repaired.
3. To win this fight the required the number of hacked Ambulas units must be delivered.
   Personal Opinion: Makes you glad DE introduced the Circuit.

You know the drill. Her components can be obtained by defeating Kela De Thaym on Merrow, Sedna. Before you face her you must get 25 Judgement points similar to how to you need 5 Animo Beacons for Ambluas. Now the process for her fight is a ♥♥♥♥♥ to do. Firstly, in order to enter her you have to do a raid-boss like thing by standing on the button, and hitting 4 green lights on each wall of the room. (Also be careful of the rollers.) Here is how her fight goes:

1. Bring her health down to a third.
2. Remember the thing you have you do to enter her fight well you're doing it. Oh be careful of missiles.
3. Rinse and repeat.
   Personal Opinion: The Circuit: Yo, wassup!

Pre-requirement: Complete Chimera Prologue
Wisp drops by defeating The Ropalolyst on Jupiter. The fight goes as followed:

1. Go to one of the capacitor towers outside of arena. Be careful of the electricity.
2. Make the boss fire it's laser at the capacitor, then switch to Operator and deplete it's shields.
3. Switch back to Warframe, board it, and ram it into the capacitor.
4. Destroy one of the Synovia on it, and activate the terminal on the main arena.
5. Rinse and repeat.
   Word of caution: Be careful of it's grab when on the main arena.
   Personal Opinion: Kit-wise she is worth it, other "reasons" she is "worth it."

Before I start explaining you need Diluted Thermia from thermia events on Orb Vallis. Now, Hildryn's Main BP can be bought for 5,000 standing from Little Duck. But, you can also get her in the Circuit. Her component BPs drop from the Exploiter Orb (just as long as you have Diluted Thermia you can start up the fight at Deck 12.) The fight has 2 phases goes like this:
Phase 1

1. Shoot the rocks she standing on, then destroy one of her vents.
2. Throw Condensed Thermia Canister, and shoot it to thaw one of her vents and destroy it.
3. Once 2 vents are gone kill the Raknoids.
4. Do the final vent and move on outside for Phase 2.
   Phase 2 (You will notice that she has a gauge now, and you need to fill it by heating her up.)
1. Kill the Raknoids that are approaching her, and pick the coolant canisters they drop.
2. With a coolant canister in-hand, interact with the fractures to turn it into Condensed Thermia Canister.
3. Throw them at her to fill the gauge.
4. Once the gauge is filled and she is overheated, simply approach her to trigger a cutscene.
5. Rinse and repeat 2 more times.
6. Shoot her dead.
   You could do all that, but I still recommend you get her in the Circuit.
   Personal Opinion: She is a unique frame that uses her shields as energy. Also she is a muscle mommy.
   

Before I delve into the Warframes you can get in a dojo, I have to explain the steps on how to access a dojo.
Step 1: Go into recruit chat, and find someone who is recruiting for a clan. If someone invites you, then move on to the next step.
Step 2: Craft a Clan Key. This requires 1 Morpic, 500 Polymer Bundles, and 500 Ferrite, which are pretty simple to get and have.
Step 3: Once the key is finished congrats you have access to Clan Dojo. I say all 5 of them together, because there all available in the Tenno Lab (the room with the display container that has Volt, Banshee, and Zephyr rotating.) If you joined a clan with them all researched, go nuts and that's it. All of Yareli's parts except main BP can be found in the Ventkids' Bash Lab (the room with kids on hoverboards). I say part 1 because you have to complete The Waverider quest for the main BP. I'll tell you right now, you better have played Tony Hawk Pro Skater for the N64. (Just kidding.) All of Dagath's BPs including her signature can be found in Dagath's Hollow (the crypt with Dagath). DID YOU REALLY BELIEVE IT WOULD BE THIS EASY?! Well you need a certain resource called Vainthorns, a total of 102 to be specific. First, you need Abyssal Beacons which can be bought from Syndicates for 5,000 standing. Once you have enough go to Ceres, and select Abyssal Zone from Star Chart. For this mission I recommend you grab the Defixios first, and bring it to extraction, all the while killing as many Grinner on your way. When you reach extraction with the Defixios go back and kill the remaining Grineer, then done.
Personal Opinions: She is good to pick up if you want free crit chance, and a get out-of-jail free card.

Tip: Pick a clan with low requirements.

Most quests will have Warframe Main BPs as a reward upon completion. Some Warframes component BPs will be in-quest, while most others need certain things, or conditions done to get said compenents. To access quests you must fulfill requirements like MR, complete other quests, or complete Junctions. I will try to sort these through immediate availability the best way I can.

Quest: Saya's Vigil
Requirements: Complete Vor's Prize and 1 Cetus bounty
To get components, complete Cetus bounties. Revenant's parts can also be rewarded like this as well, but he will be explained later. You can also get her parts from the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: Honestly pick your poison with this one. Quest: Vox Solaris
Requirements: Simply talk to Eudico in Fortuna
Same as you would with Gara, but in Fortuna. Also available in Circuit.
Personal Opinion: Shortest one I had to explain. Quest: Sands of Inaros
Requirements: MR 5 and purchase from Baro Ki'Teer for 100 ducats
First let me explain ducats, they can earned by selling prime parts in relays. The rarity depends on how many ducats you get, also be on the lookout for Baro every 2 weeks. You can also get Inaros in the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: Honestly waiting 2 weeks is better than waiting 7 weeks. Quest: The Limbo Theorem
Requirements: Have an Archwing and complete Europa Junction
Limbo's main BP can be bought in the market, and his components can be rewarded in-quest. He also available in the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: That one frame nobody likes to play with in squads, but you're free to play him if you wish. Quest: The New Strange
Requirements: Complete Europa Junction
All of his components can be rewarded by completing Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto Junctions. He is also available in The Circuit.
Personal Opinion: You would think a dragon would be a strong frame, well you're wrong. Quest: The Waverider
Requirements: MR 3 and complete the Vox Solaris quest
When this quest was first released, it was less doable for me. But, ever since DE lessened the feats you have to do, it is a bit better.
Personal Opinion: I don't play her often, so I can't form an opinion at this time. :I Quest: The Jordas Precept
Requirement: Complete Pluto and Eris Junctions
Basically all you're just doing this quest is farming Juggernauts on Infested missions, until you have all of the stuff for the Pherliac Pods. Look I'm going to save you the trouble, just do the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: My favorite one punch frame, also he canonically punched an entire asteroid. Quest: Hidden Messages
Requirements: Complete Sedna Junction
You will be messaged with riddles, and to answer riddles you must select the correct mission star chart. If you haven't read Greek mythology before here are the missions in order:

1. Olympus, Mars
2. Calypso, Saturn
3. Charybdis, Sedna
   She is also available in the Circuit.
   Personal Opinion: Pretty much one of the simpler quests to do.

Quest: Patient Zero
Requirements: Complete Once Awake and unlock Eris
I'm going to save you the trouble do the Circuit, because this one is a can of worms. First of all you need Mutalist Nav Coordinates that are rewarded to you from Infested Invasions. Then, you need to craft Mutalist Alad V Assassinate Keys to fight said boss. When you fight him, you have wait until he throws his collar off, and he is invulnerable when he has it on. Hence, why I recommended you do the Circuit over this process.
Personal Opinion: Whole thing is a ♥♥♥♥♥ to do, but frame is definitely worth it. Quest: Heart of Deimos
Requirements: Complete Earth-Mars Junctions
Same process as Gara and Garuda, but on Deimos.
Personal Opinion: Ok this is definitely the shortest I had to explain. Quest: The Deadlock Protocol
During this quest you will be given a free weapon called the Xoris. And trust me, you will need this weapon for what you are about to do next. Before that, you need something called a Granum Crown which are dropped by Treasurers on the Corpus Ship tileset. There are 3 types of crowns that drop based on planet:
Granum Crown (Venus, Phobos)
Exemplar Granum Crown (Jupiter, Neptune)
Zenith Granum Crown (Pluto)
After you get enough of the crowns you need, you see the Golden Hands Statues around the tileset? Interact with them and enter the portal. Now this is why I said you needed the Xoris, because it can insta-kill specters. You need to kill 75 specters in order to get Protea's parts. To keep the timer up, simply collect the yellow triangles, or free captive Solaris. The part you get is based on the crown you have:
Granum Crown= Neuroptics
Exemplar Granum Crown= Chassis
Zenith Granum Crown= Systems
Personal Opinion: What a process, but definitely worth it. Quest: Octavia's Anthem
Requirements: Complete The Second Dream quest
Octavia's parts are in 3 separate missions with 1 having a certain condition. Neuroptics can be found Terrorem, Deimos in rotation C. Systems can be found on Plato, Lua in rotation A cache. And, Chassis can be found on the Lua tileset, but you must do the Music Puzzle (if it ever spawns). You could do all that, or you could do the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: She's a bit of a headache to get, but worth it. Quest: The Silver Grove
Requirements: MR 7 and complete The Second Dream quest
If you see a plant with a name on it hold the interact button. If you need to know which plant grows where simply hover your cursor over it. She is also available in the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: Your call on this one. Quest: Chains of Harrow
Requirements: Complete The War Within Quest and visit Onkko in Cetus
Let's get this out of the way do the Circuit. But if you must, you have a better time doing Kuva Survival than Defection to get the Systems and Neuroptics. It's pretty easy getting the Chassis since you'll be doing void fissures often.
Personal Opinion: Honestly best synergy frame in the game as of making this guide. Quest: The Glast Gambit
Requirements: Complete The War Within Quest
I'll be very blunt with you do the Circuit. Infested Salvage is one of those least fun mission types to play, and I still do not have too good memories when I was farming Nidus when this quest first released.
Personal Opinion: A fun frame behind an unfun mission. Quest: Call of the Tempestarii
Requirements: Complete The Deadlock Protocol Quest, The Rising Tide Quest, and MR 4
Void Storms are basically fissures, unless you are farming for his prime.
Personal Opinion: "Sleeping In The Cold Below" is the pirate song I've heard. Quest: The Sacrifice
Requirements: Complete The Apostasy Prologue
No need for an explanation you'll have him by the time you finish the quest.
Personal Opinion: Now go subsume Excalibur.

Quest: Mask of the Revenant
Requirements: Rank 2 of The Quills syndicate
By the time you finish this quest you'll already have one of his parts done. And as I have said earlier in the guide you can get his parts the same way as Gara. He is also available in the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: You will never die with this frame. Quest: The New War
Requirements: Complete Rising Tide Quest, complete Prelude to War, and own an Amp
Caliban's main BP can be found in market, but his parts are dropped from Narmer bounties in Cetus or Fortuna after finishing the quest.
Personal Opinion: His rework made him much better to play so he is worth it. Quest: Veilbreaker
Requirements: Complete The New War Quest
You need to do weekly Break Narmer missions where you play as Kahl. However they are on the weekly refresh, and he is not available in the Circuit, so endure.
Personal Opinion: Great solo frame to use. Quest: Angels of the Zariman
Requirements: Complete the New War Quest
Same thing as previous frames you get from bounties.
Personal Opinion: Her 3 and 4 make her a very strong frame to use. Quest: Jade Shadows
Requirements: Complete the New War Quest
To get her components you need to do Ascension on Brutus, Uranus. But, alternatively you can also get her components from Ordis at Drifter's Camp for Vestigial Motes.
Personal Opinions: I have mixed feelings when I play Jade. She is an okay frame to use, but I don't know up to you decide how you feel. Quest: Whispers in the Wall
Requirements: Complete the Heart of Deimos, and the New War Quest
Same as previous frames you get from bounties. You can also get his component BPs from Bird-3 for 20,000 standing each at Rank 2.
Personal Opinion: I like using Qorvex sometimes, but most people don't. Quest: The Hex
Requirements: Complete the Duviri Paradox and the Lotus Eaters Quest
Same as previous frames you get from bounties. You can also get him from Amir for 20,000 for each component at Rank 2.
Personal Opinion: One of the best stealth frames to use. Also I like the sound his 3rd ability makes. Quest: The Old Peace
Requirements: Complete the Lotus Eaters Quest
Uriel is one of the more easier grinds. All you have to do is complete a weekly of Descendia, and once you do you can select from Roathe's Oblivion as many time until you have all of the components. You can also get the components from Roathe himself in La Cathedrale for a total 150 Maphica. But, I prefer you do the former instead of the latter.
Personal Opinion: I can't believe we get to play as The Devil from the Bible. Quest: Jade Shadows: Constellations
Requirements: Complete the Jade Shadows Quest
To address the elephant in the room, the component BPs are the same rule for "most" frames (looking at you Equinox). So thankfully this is not an Equinox situation where you have to farm for 8 BPs. Anyways, to get their components you need to either complete Scoria's Angel or The Kuva Wytch on Uranus Proximia. I recommend you do The Kuva Wytch since Vena's fight can go alot faster than Ryoku's fight, but preference is up to you. Alternatively, you can buy the blueprints from Hunhow at Pontis Tower for either Emerald/Crimson Talent from completing either mission. Also, shooting targets during the during the Orowyrm/Ramsled minigames will also net you some talent. You will need 90 of either talent for each component making a total of 270 talent.
Personal Opinion: I like their concept, but their execution is a little off for me.

These frames are only dropped by completing certain missions on Star Chart.

To save you the trouble do Circuit. Ivara's BP can be bought in the Market. The legit way to get her is to do spy missions with 3 successful data extractions. Trust me the Circuit is a lot better.
Personal Opinion: She is a weak stealth frame, due to fact that if you attack it will interrupt the invis. But I wouldn't pass her up for that reason she still has her uses. Requirements: Complete Saya's Vigil and Once Awake
Main and component BP drop from Shrine Defense at Saya's Vision, Earth. You can also purchase her from her shrine for Fate Pearls in Cetus. Mission goes as follows:

1. Deliver 5 offerings while keeping Infested out the rings. (Don't worry you won't fail the mission)
2. Then kill the required number of Infested.
3. Bring the Infested Oni's health down.
4. Deliver 2 more offerings to the shrine, then kill the boss.
   Personal Opinion: "The evilest sin of them all gambling." -Shadow the Hedgehog

Requirements: Complete The Heart of Deimos Quest
Citrine drops from rotation C from Tyana Pass, Mars. You can also buy her from Otak in Nercalisk on Deimos. But, you need 2 resources which are Belric Crystal Fragments (blue crystal) and Rania Crystal Fragments (red crystal). You need a total of 1,550 Rania Crystals and 1,500 Belric Crystals.
Personal Opinion: I have mixed feelings about the mode, but Citrine is a great support frame. Requirements: Complete The War Within Quest (Recommended: Complete Angels of the Zariman Quest)
She drops from Yuvarium and Circulus on Lua. This is basic survival except you need to kill Hollow Thrax for Lua Thrax Plasm to craft Voruna. You can also get her from Archimedean Yonta with said Lua Thrax Plasm.
Personal Opinion: Having to choose between 4 passive in-mission is fun to use. Gauss' main BP can be found on the market, and his components drop from Kappa, Sedna which is a Disruption mission. Disruption can go by quick if you bring a high damaging frame like Kullervo.
Personal Opinion: Gauss is fun to use, and some Disruption missions are also great way to farm relics. Requirements: Complete Eris Junction
Please bear with me on this one because he is a mess to get. Once you complete Eris Junction you can unlock Arbitrations. They are "elite" (not Steel Path) versions of endless mission types. Bleedout is disabled in this mode so be careful. The reason you want to do Arbitrations is this mode drops Vitus Essence which can be used to buy component locators, each locator costs 25 Vitus Essence. His main BP can be bought in the market. Now here comes the even messier part.
Once you have all 3 locators the missions are all located on Europa. In these missions the following is disable:

• Mods (except Warframe Augment Mods)
  
• Arcanes
  
• Operator and Focus abilities
  
• Kuva and Tenet weapon elemental bounses
  
• Gear
  
• Weapons with unique abilities (except Syndicate Weapons)
  
• Archon Shards
  
• Incarnons

Personal Opinion: Like I said, but he is worth it. Requirements: Complete The New Strange Quest
Khora's main BP can be bought in the market, and her components drop from Sanctuary Onslaught from Cephalon Simaris. Mode is simple, kill as many enemies as quickly as possible until the timer runs out to move on.
Personal Opinion: This is a good mode if you need to rank up some stuff. Requirements: Complete Whisper in the Walls and The Deadlock Protocol Quests
All of his parts drop from Armatus, Deimos which is a Disruption mission. You can also buy him from Loid (human) for Vessel Capillaries which drop from Necramech Demolishers. You need a total of 540 to buy all of them.
Personal Opinion: He just loves castin spells. Requirements: Complete The Rising Tide Quest and The Archwing Quest
Oberon's main BP is in the market. His neuroptics and systems can obtained from Earth Proxima points of interest, and his chassis can be obtained from Saturn Proxmia points of interest. He is also obtainable in the Circuit. Used to be he would drop from Eximus units, even before DE implemented Overguard, but that has changed.
Personal Opinion: He's not good, but he's not bad. Just build him however the way you feel. Requirements: Complete The Rising Tide Quest and The Archwing Quest
Ash's main BP is in the market. Systems can be obtained from Venus Proxima, neuroptics can be obtained from Neptune Proxima, and chassis can be obtained from Pluto Proxima. The only mission types that drop these are survival, defense, exterminate, and volatile. A much preferred method is to do the Circuit.
Personal Opinion: They turned his 4th into an exalted so now he is worth.

Requirements: Complete The Hex Quest and be Rank 4 of The Hex Syndicate
All of Temple's compenents drop from Solstice Square, Hollvania. This mission is a Stage Defense which has Flare as the Defense target. By the 3rd wave you must defeat a Scaldra Screamer before he reaches Flare. You can also purchase Temple from Flare for Beating Heartstrings, you will need a total of 390 Beating Heartstrings.
Personal Opinion: Defense missions are more tolerable (as of Techrot Encore), and Temple is def worth it. Requirements: Complete The New War Quest
Kay not gonna sugarcoat this just do the Deepmines Bounties. The reason I say this is because the alternative way to get Nokko's components is to be Rank 4 of Nightcap Syndicate. Instead of using the usual standing to rank up, you have to fully analyze mushrooms found in the Deepmines or by completing bonus objectives from bounties. To reach Rank 4 you need to have 12 mushrooms fully analyzed, which takes a long time.
Personal Opinion: His little guy form has cake to surpass Wisp. Requirements: Complete Chains of Harrow Quest
All of her components drop from Vesper Relay, Venus or can be bought from Aspirant Zorba in any relay for a total of 2400 Atramentum. In Follie's Hunt, before picking up paint locate all 3 canvases, because once you bring paint to a canvas Follie will start chasing you. When you get caught in her aura she will not only drain health but energy as well that includes Operator energy too. I would suggest starting with B (dependant on where it is), because later on the halls to the syndicate rooms will be blocked by ink as you progress. And as you progress, more modifiers will start appearing like slows and tendril drones. The main things to be careful of is not only Follie herself, but her ink clones and her ink Facsimiles. So be sure to time Void mode use to avoid unnecessary damage.
Personal Opinion: I would say Follie is worth it, because she is a G-mod tool gun. Mode can get chaotic if you know what you are doing.

Vauban's main BP can be bought in the Market. All of his components are available in Nightwave offerings, which are pretty easy to get by completing Nightwave challenges. All you just need is 75 Nightwave creds. You can also get him the Circuit, unless you want his good augment.
Personal Opinion: Your call on this one. All of his parts are available from Little Duck at Rank 2 and Rank 3 of Vox Solaris. He is also available in the Circuit which is preferable.
Personal Opinion: It is much better doing Circuit than farming Toroids. Same method as Baruuk, but you can get his parts from Father for Entrati standing. He's not available in the Circuit, but he is more forgivable than Baruuk.
Personal Opinion: I like using Lavos, he's like using a swiss army knife, but for elemental damage.

If you have completed the Uranus Junction you will gain access to a new quest called The Duviri Paradox. I won't go too much into detail, but it's a rougelite gamemode (if you know how rougelites work). Don't worry the game will explain to you how it works. But for the sake of this guide, I'll tell you once you complete the quest you will gain access to the Circuit and the Warframes available here. The Circuit is an endless mode for Warframes only. But here is the most important part about the Circuit. You get to choose between 3 Warframes you want as a reward, but you can only pick one as reward to get. Once you've locked in the frame you want to get thats it you have to wait until the weekly reset which is usually Sunday nights. Every weekly Circuit reward will have all 4 blueprints of the Warframe you picked including an ability augment which changes how one of their abilities works. The Warframes that are available with their respective augment mod:

Week 1
• Excalibur (Furious Javelin)
  
• Trinity (Vampire Leech)
  
• Ember (Exothermic)

Week 2
• Loki (Hushed Invisibility)

• Revenant (Thrall Pact)

Week 11
• Garuda (Blending Talons)
  
• Baruuk (Reactive Storm)
  
• Hildryn (Blazing Pillage)

Repeats back to week 1. In my honest opinion, these are better to get here than the regular methods you need to get them. Trust me, would have been better if DE introduced it some years ago. Now let's get on with the frames we can get here. To get Kullervo's blueprints, you need a total of 42 of Kullervo's Bane which you can collect by fighting Kullervo in his hold. However, Kullervo's Hold only spawns during Anger, Sorrow, and Fear spirals. I would recommend to get enough decrees to breeze thru the fight. After that complete the spiral like normal, and you will get his Banes. His blueprints can be bought from Acrithis (The woman in the carriage who spawns on the side of you after the Orowrym fight).
Personal Opinion: He's somewhat of pain in the ass to farm due to how time-based he is for the spirals, but he is worth it. Requirements: Complete The Hex Quest
She can be acquired by completing Isleweaver, which is Warframe only and Lone Story. The only difference between this and regular Duviri are Murmur, and 2 boss fights. These boss fights are Oraxia herself and a duet of 2 Fragmented Ones. You can also get her from Acrithis in your Dormizone (same is true for Kullervo) for Scuttler's Husk, and you need a total of 120. You also need a total of 150 Temporal Dust to craft her parts which only drop in this mission.
Personal Opinion: I would make a spider-related joke, but there are too many. Anyways she is very versatile frame to use and is worth it.

Before I begin explaining subsuming, there are things you need to know before you begin. Firstly, subsuming is a huge resource sink so be sure to stock up aplenty. Second and this is very critical, when you subsume a Warframe you will lose the frame you subsumed. If you have a prime variant of that frame it can't be subsumed so be sure to have a non-prime variant on hand. If the frame doesn't have a prime variant not released, you will either have to farm the frame again, or you will have to wait for it to release, up to you. And another thing, if you have 2 non-primes of the same frame be sure you are not subsuming the one you have modded. 1. You need to get infected with a Helminth Cyst by being infected by other players or having Nidus. (And be sure to have a Kubrow Egg on hand while having a fully mature cyst so you can get a Helminth Charger.)

2. You need to craft a Helminth Segment which the BP can be bought from Son in the Necralisk for 15,000 standing and be Rank 3 of the Entrati Syndicate.
3. You need to be MR 8.

What are the benefits? Well I'm glad you ask. When the frame is finished being consumed by the tentacle porn, you will be allowed to put an ability from that frame and you can put on another frame. This however will allow you to replace one of the 4 abilities you have on the frame. This makes it so you can come up with even stronger or crazier builds most frames wouldn't have. In addition, Helminth also comes with his own abilities you can put on other frames. But, you need to level it up in order to access these. Also this frees up a Warframe slot. To level up Helminth you need to:

• Feed it resources
  
• Subsume Warframes
  
• Inject abilities

Narin (Possibly nordic based frame)
Brysko (Detective frame)
