Basic mods for warframes

Hello everyone! This time we are going to take a look to the Warframes Basic Mods. Every mod I’m going to mention here is easily found and can be used on any warframe.

basic stats

We have three basic important mods that will help you to survive on your first steps in Warframe universe. These mods affects our Health, Shield and Armour stats.

Vitality, this mod increases the maximum Health of your warframe, and it goes from 40% to 440% on its maximum rank. This is an interesting mod to start with, and also a useful one to maximize for advanced usage. Its cost goes from 2 to 12 on its maximum rank.

Redirection increase the maximum shields capacity of your warframe, on its minimum rank it give you 40% more, and 440% on its maximum rank. It costs more than Vitality, 4 on its minimum and 14 on its maximum rank.

Steel Fiber mod is also useful, increasing your armour means that the damage taken will be reduced in a percentage, more armour means less damage. This mod increases armour by 10% to 110% if it’s maximized, and has the same cost as Redirection, 4 and 14, minimum and maximum rank respectively.

abilities

The following mods will affect your warframe abilities, like maximum Power pool, Duration, Efficiency, Range and Strength.

First one is Flow, this mods increases Maximum Power values in 25% on its minimum rank up to 150% on its maximum. The cost goes from 4 to 9 if it’s maximized.

Continuity affects the Duration of your warframe abilities, increasing it from 5% to 30%, having the same cost as Flow (from 4 to 9 on its maximum rank).

Streamline affects the Efficiency of your warframe abilities, the more efficient they are, the less power is used to activate any ability. This mod increases the efficiency from 5% to 30% on its maximum rank, and also increases its costs from 4 on its minimum rank and 9 on its maximum.

Stretch mod increases the Range of your abilities from 7,5% to 45% if it’s maximized, costing from 4 to 9 when it’s maximized. It’s a very useful for some abilities.

Intensify, this mod affects the Power Strength of your warframe abilities, for example, when the ability deals damage, the greater the strength is, the higher the damage it deals. This mod boosts your power strength from 5% to 30% on its maximum rank, and it costs 6 on its minimum rank and 11 on its maximum rank.

If you do some maths it’s easy to realize that you can’t use all this mods at once if they are maximized, don’t worry, you don’t have to. Try for yourselves to see which is better to use on each case.

The same happens on basic stats (health, shields and armour), in some cases it won’t be useful to use some of this mods, try it and see what suits you better.
