While creating the new account in the Warframe allows you to pick one from the characters. There are different characters like Excalibur, Mag, and Volt, and all of them are equipped with some special powers.

You can choose anyone from Excalibur, Mag, or Volt. Before choosing any Warframe, you will have to keep in mind that you must craft every Warframe in the game at any point. The character you did not choose at the starting is easily obtained later in the game.

In this article, we will discuss all the available characters during the starting of the game. This article is mainly focused on guiding you to pick up your favorite character.

Excalibur, Mag, or Volt

Before continuing the guide, you will have to know that Warframe is just like MMORPG, but it has featured some robotic ninjas with guns.

As you go through the game, you get items to collect and allow you to craft and upgrade, allowing your character to become more powerful.

It is better to understand the game first, it will help in understanding the mechanics of the game.

Excalibur

Excalibur’s design is quite like the character of Dark Sector. Excalibur is considered a very powerful Warframe, and it has different special abilities. Around 60% of players choose him over other characters because he is both noob-friendly and has a fun playstyle. In close range, Excalibur is considered best because of his slicing and dicing capability.

Mag

Mag is the only female Warframe character who comes at the starting of the game. All her abilities revolve around magnetism.

She is also considered the lowest pick from all three characters because of various reasons. She requires more upgrades than the other two to make full use of her abilities.

However, she is a master in Crowd Control and can clear large numbers of enemies with ease. You will need some game knowledge to use Mag and unlock her true potential.

Volt

Volt is responsible for providing a fast-paced game style to the new players, with his speed and electrical abilities. Volt can easily take down his enemies by boosting up his speed.

Shock is considered as his primary attack, in which he fires a lightning bolt that can move zigzag around enemies.

Approximately 30% of the new players choose Volt because of his unique abilities. Volt is the second most popular choice in the Warframe.

He is the most versatile character from the other two and is considered helpful in the last game.

Final Words

It does not matter which character you choose to start the game as the initial choice does not lock out other characters. They can be easily unlocked later in the game.

You can easily craft all the other weapons you did not pick, so you do not have to worry about them. These characters are only made for early game, so did not expect them to be very strong.
