MODERATORS
I've been kinda busy this week and I haven't really touched the game in a while (waiting for 1999) so I thought I would just go back to the basics and bring back the starters! Also 1999 is bringing us the proto versions of these frames so there, that's my excuse!
Excalibur is still a pretty damn solid frame, despite all the yeas. His Exalted Blade shows it's age the most, being worse than your average melee weapon these days, but the rest of his kit stays solid. Slash Dash is weirdly enough his best damage dealing ability, as it scales with your actual melee weapon mods and procs guaranteed Slash. Blind remains a solid panic CC while also massively boosting your melee damage. And Radial Javelins with it's augment is a Roar that applies to melee only, not bad! He's probably the weakest of the starters late game, but I would still rate him as 2nd best choice for new players. Mag outscales him lategame, but her kit requires mods and specific weapons to really shine, something a new player won't have. Volt is still the strongest starter, very cheap decent damage 1st ability, very cheap speed buff to get through missions faster, invincible directional shield that makes defending much easier that you can also pick up to provide yourself with great defense (it also boosts your guns damage while shooting through it) and to top it off a good AoE ability that remains competitive all the way until Steel Path.
