[Top 5] Warframe Best Melee Warframes You Should Get

Although melee might look obnoxious when fighting against ranged enemies,but it is a necessity since you’re a space ninja. With gravity-defying powers and abilities, closing the distance is no problem. However, certain warframes have certain skill sets that excel in melee engagements. In this article, we will discuss the best melee warframes.

5. Inaros 

Anakin's worst nightmare. 

He is almost everything that Imhotep, from the 1999 film, The Mummy, can do; except for summoning mass undead soldiers since he can only summon less than 5. Inaros is a mummy-sand elemental themed warframe. He was initially a warrior of the Orokin until they started to kidnap children; an action he was against, thus making him turn on his masters.

His main and component blueprints can be obtained in the course of the quest, Sands of Inaros, or from Cephalon Simaris. 

What Inaros excels in:

• Multiple skills that grant life steal. 
• Crowd control abilities that open enemies to finishers. 
• Having the 2nd highest base health, behind his prime counterpart.

An ability to spawn a clone, just to remind you of how lonely you are.

Gauss is a kinetic energy-runner themed warframe. Also called the saint of altra, Gauss earned his nickname when he was able to successfully put down an insurgency in Ceres by the orders of the Orokin.

His main blueprint can be purchased from the market while his component blueprints are dropped on disruption missions, specifically on rotation C at Kappa, Ceres.

1. Baruuk

Violence is not an answer unless you start shooting.

Baruuk is a pacifist monk themed warframe. He is described as the reluctant hero or pacifist warframe with abilities that avoid conflict. However, upon reaching a certain limit, he can easily devastate mobs of enemies.
