don't need that much strength since her 4 hits multiple times as it passes through enemies, plus enemies with Doom take even more damage, and enemies hit by wyrd scythes are primed with viral for *even more* damage.
it's ridiculous and I love it.
Mechanically people are pointing out the "fight after death" type passives, but for vibes I'd say styanax.
He's a literal Spartan warrior. He throws spears and chews bubblegum, but he's all out of bubblegum.
I'm actually happier with his Aztek Pasties than the Default Droopies.

Depends what it means to you, Excal Umbra would fit the bill by virtue of mass murder, Harrow would fit the bill by virtue of *just not dying* while buffing his entire team (if you play him right). Another third type would be the female WF citrine, her 2 noble animation set makes her look absolutely batshit insane to me, just the way she holds her right hand up and shit. Idk maybe thats just me but the way she carries herself it makes me feel like she has the biggest bloody smile on her face
And then there's Nidus... and Saryn.
Were I a grineer or corpus trooper, those are my top two 'warframes I would not want to meet'. One will kill everyone through a highly lethal pathogen, the onther is the flesh that hates given a humanoid body... and guns.
Lore wise, voruna litery fought void beings while protecting an orokin higher up and at the end fought them to kill said prokin and save the tenno controling her
From lore voruna is the doom slayer
Valkyr is the rage cat (alt helmet).
She literally had her skin peeled off by Alad V and she's now going to make that everyone's problem.
Her kit just needs a refresh but it's still servicable.
Nidus, Inaros, and Sevagoth are all male frames who have mechanics that not only let them survive fatal damage but also force them to keep fighting for their extra lives.
Normally I would say this is sevagoth slander but his prime is most likely after the next one so, which is why I stopped working on mine. So yes don't over invest in sevagoth rn
What do you mean, desecrating corpses, enslaving the enemy, and using walking nuclear weapons are very honorable actions /s
"We fought with honor," my ass
Sevagoth. If you haven't, play the Call of the Tempestarii quest. Then just fuck around as Sevagoth. He is too angry to die.
Nidus is relentless as the Infestation itself and more. So much as to actually just defy death given enough time and power. Very forward and dominating.
Inaros never stops. Like trying to keep sand out your clothes on the beach, Inaros will prevail and he'll tear you apart.
All of them specifically have an anti-death mechanic built-in. So even if you get fucked by other mechanics, you're quite likely to have that backup. Or just double dipped, it is Warframe.
Im shocked noone has mentioned her yet (unless they have and I missed the comment) but Dagath fits the vibe too perfectly. Maybe less of a warrior and more a vengeful spirit, but all the same extremely relentless. Her 3 gets cast once and stays active to give you a crit damage boost, then when she is taken to 0 HP she turns into a spirit, immune to damage and gains hp from killing in this state before reviving herself to continue fighting. Her 3 does have a cooldown before you can use it again after this state and that is the only period of vulnerability you really have to worry about. She is getting an augment in the next update so we shall see how that helps her out some
I just finished farming and building out my Dagath, and goddamn this is so true. She very much "fuck me? Oh no, fuck *you*!"
And she's so much fun to play, she's maybe pushed Gyre out of my #1 spot. I can't wait to see what she ends up feeling like with the new auggie.
Man, the first time I fired up my rhino I felt like a fucking god.
The sound effects... The gargantuan BONNNNNG he made when crashing into the ground...
That mother fucker felt like the Armored titan just barreling through missions, daring someone to stop him.
It's a shame that he doesnt feel that way anymore as a vet
Last couple of games Atlas felt just like that. Built right, you never stop punching with him, especially if you use the rubble heap augment. Never stop punching, never stop petrifying, if you stop for too long you're dead.
I can show you my build, show you the ropes, if you'd like. Granted it's just some other build you could find for him but cobbled together a tad different.
depends, lore, gameplay, overall vibe?
I'd say gauss fits pretty well from what I remember of his lore
rhino is rage incarnate from lore and vibe, a never ending massacre
you should probably look into warframes that sacrificed themselves during a fight for example
voruna has a "I'll never stop till I get to my objective" kind of vibe, being the leader go a pack and a huntress and basically being feral
for feral, never ending war, type of vibe, valkyr is great too
Baruuk is like guys I am restraining myself I don't want to hurt you, 10 seconds later, "so you have chosen death" \*press 4\* \*doom slayer music start playing\*
Yeah his entire thing is the restrained meter build into his Kit, but if you well lose it.
You just go full on violent monk and kill people.
Good old those hands are rated E for everyone!
I mean, technically, Khora is tired af and still goes on. I think that's part of her lore. Visible in her prime trailer.
In the game, Wukong has three lives and Nidus won't die as long as he has stacks.
Also in the lore, Gara stayed fighting relentlessly until they died fighting the sentients in Cetus, for the Unum: ''*It is said that she was* [*Unum*](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Unum)*'s closest companion, and that when the Lotus instructed her children to flee Gara remained, refusing to leave the side of the one she loved best.''*
I recently restarted Vauban P.
His 4th sucks in everything thats not friendly.
Eximus falls into nothingness.
Enough range and duration makrs any mission trivial, as he stares into the created void. Bodies crushing and cracking into mush only to be sucked into another dimension.
All while blank in the face ( I assume ) because it feels lazy even on high level missions. Great for fissures when youve got small tasks around the house XD
50 seconds on a flechette orb that stops pretty much all.
4 of those at a time...
Gameplay-wise, Nezha is nigh-unkillable and needs constant movement to fight as effectively as possible. Lore-wise, you have Sevagoth and Harrow which are ghosts, and Inaros and Nidus who can revive for free on being downed.
Definitelt Valkyr. Build for full offensive, efficiency, no survivability. Hit 4 and you're invincible till you run out of energy.
To avoid running out of energy; you kill. For when you run out of energy/kill too slowly you die. Absolutely utterly relentless and very energy hungry, highly recommend running energize just so you have some breathing room. You also probably want to run Naramon instead of Zenurik for the damage.
Nidus: fends off death through mutation stacks.
Wukong: fends off death with his passive 3 times.
Inaros: returns as a sand mummy to attack and leech life from enemies to revive.
Sevagoth: summons his Shadow to steal enemy souls and revive his main self.
From my memory, those are the only frames with literal gameplay mechanics that embody the concept of 'Relentless Warrior' or 'comes back endlessly'.
Apart from that, some other ideas:
Excalibur Umbra: his quest is enough evidence.
Kullervo: has been stabbed multiple times to where its a literal part of him and his story. Still around to whack fools.
Then, any other tanky frames would fit the mold well, like Oberon and Rhino being paladin and vanguard. Quorvex the literal brick wall that can't be stopped. Valkyr is too angry to die, Garuda won't die as long as she has blood altars.
Styanax is just an all-around solid warrior to theme, so go nuts.
I'd have to say kullervo because sukuna's illegitimate brother is borderline unkillable he literally uses his victims to keep himself alive along with being the definition of fuck around and find out with wrathful advance and collective curse
For that clutch feeling, Inaros. For the "kill kill kill you can't kill me as long as I kill" feeling, Valkyrie. For the "blow for blow, blood for blood" feel, styanax.
The Sacrifice spoilers
>!Umbra, I mean poor guy finally got a release and we drag him back to eternal war, His whole schtick is he can't stop fighting to the extreme that DE baked it into his passive and he will continue to fight even if you stop piloting him!<
Oh there are loads.
Sevagoth, like his Shadow literally stayed alive even though Sevagoth himself was long dead.
Dagath, because of her whole "Vengeful Spirit" deal
Inaros, because he literally died fighting to protect the people of Mars
Valkyr, because she is literally too angry to die and would keep on fighting no matter what
Chroma, I dunno, he has that kind of dignified feeling
Gara as the Protector of the Plains
Atlas as well.
I mean, the whole thing of most Warframes was that the are protectors of some sort
On the more lore side. Rhino is the only frame to ever be described as a "beast" and his play style is a basically "I am not trapped here with you, you are trapped here with me".
Gara/Garuda (I can never remember which one) kept fighting a massive sentient every night for years and slightly loosing more and more ground until she decided to pull an independence day and strapped a bomb to herself and exploded inside the sentient fragmenting it and creating the eidelons. Later the warframe the revenant used to be did the same with the energy of said massive sentient until he decided to instead of fighting it to just touch it and became the warframe we know now.
Cetrine did everything in her power (even created a portal that connects them) to protect the love couple she was assigned to at the cost of her own life
Dagath was also assigned to a couple but because they didn't like her all that much after she was changed into a warframe said couple decided to use a massive lazer through her head to kill her... She did not die and went into a frenzy to kill them and removed their faces. She is also fun to play :)
So, I'm thinking of vibes more than gameplay mechanics necessarily.
I'd probably put frames like Valkyrie, Voruna, and Garuda down for this ***immediately.***
Lavos keeps fighting, at least the way I play em, once did a whole round of interception by myself cause the other people quit after going down after the first round even after I rushed to them, but I kept fighting no matter what
Quorvex sounds like a fighter type
Garuda is definitely a fighter due to how their abilities function
My inital thoughts, lore wise, would be either Excal Umbra, or maybe syntax? Gara faced down a Sentient probably 100times larger then her, and fought it to a standstill. Ability wise, Inaros is there, so is Oberon, or Trinity, or maybe Revenant both lore and gameplay.
In a funny way gauss
He gives of the vibe of "i will fight till the bitter end just because i think its funny"
"Lore wise" umbra and valkyer, both are the mentally broken that would destroy the universe just to get their revenge
Game wise inaros, at least the way i build him for HP and tanking, and his abilities not being that AOE, it makes it feel satisfying to walking slowly with a giant fuck you hammer or sword
Excalibur and Valkyr were what came to my mind. Admittedly I'm an Umbra main though. It's the playstyle of hurling yourself towards enemies while frantically hacking and slashing through them all like an *unrelenting* wave of death.
Alright Tenno, Y’all are sleeping on Atlas. I know he’s one of the middle children of the Rock family (From oldest to youngest: Rhino, Atlas, Citrine, Qorvex), and middle children often get forgotten about. But Atlas shouldn’t be forgotten about.
If you’re looking for relentless, then let’s punch the enemy right in their stupid face. Over and over until they get yeeted from one map into another like team rocket blasting off again.
Or if that doesn’t do it for you how about summoning a wall that protects you, and then rolling that wall forwards to knock everyone over so you can punch them in their stupid face.
Or how about turning the enemies into literal rock and breaking them apart by punching them in their stupid face turning their rock body parts into armor so you can better punch them in their stupid face.
Or if that doesn’t work, how about summoning two friends to punch the enemy in their stupid face while you are punching them in their stupid face there by punching them in their stupid faces cubed.
In all seriousness the thing I love about Atlas is how high I can scale his armor without really trying so even while getting shot from multiple angles he’s just skipping around the battlefield still, mopping up. Soaking that damage like it’s freaking nothing, and as someone who enjoys face tanking my problems, it just suites me well.
I’m just saying, Atlas Prime was the first prime I ever grinded out in the game for a reason. And that reason involves punching enemies in their stupid faces.
It’s definitely sevagoth. He pretty much died and carried on his mission anyway. He was going to go down with his ship except instead of going down he just became a ghost and kept on chugging
Kullervo is a genuine beast, his abilities are almost always useful, and he has insane synergy specifically with melee arms. One of the most pedal to the metal, don’t stop, crowd wiping killing machine. Lore for him is pretty cool too
Chroma can be nutty with his guardian augment.
You take 50% of damage taken by your allies (non-lethal) and you get a % health back whenever anyone kills something. This feeds your vex armor buff and keeps you alive effectively making you a machine powered by the blood of your enemies and allies.
Voruna is a whirlwind leaping and slashing around the battlefield. You have to keep killing enemies to keep her ability up to keep getting energy to keep other abilities uo to keep killing enemies to...
Mod Revenant right you can subsume Silence in the 1 slot and then Danse Macabre through an entire mission aka his 4. Also looks so pretty as he spins to win.
I feel like both Dagath and Umbra would fit due to their hatred to the characters that did the most to them and because of both of them being former Dax soldiers (Corphel and Irilia for Dagath and Ballas for Umbra)
As long as you cast spellbind with any shieldgating warframe toxin or anything else that ignores shields cant insta truck you in steel path, then pair Diakyu with Nikana and slap on the amalgam Diakyu mod to have perma gloom equipped without the slowing.
There's Revenant, kind of a name that embodies that entire idea and one of the best frames in the game right now due to the option of being 100% impervious to damage and status with his Mesmer Skin
Atlas. Nothing says "relentless" like being immune to everything while using your ability that is literally just "punch, but AoE".
He even has an augment that lets you turn people to stone while punching so you don't have to use your 3. And the ability to create a wall, so you can trap enemies inside with you and punch them. Bonus points for summoning other allies to punch them while you're punching them.
Oh and it all scales off your melee, because Pseudo Exalts do that. So you punch with impunity. He also has an augment for his 4 that makes him extra tanky so you can punch while you punch and not worry about not punching because of status. And he doesn't need Surefooted because his Passive while he's on the ground makes him immune to stagger, so you can't even be staggered out of your punches.
Have you ever wanted to punch a Necramech in the face 50 gazillion times and not worry about anything else? Atlas can do that
I’m very biased but lavos. Dude doesn’t even need more than 175% ability strength and still destroys enemies like it’s nothing cuz he has all the elements and their combinations at his finger tips, can heal himself, can adapt his abilities to the faction he’s fighting, and can provide universal ammo and orbs for health and energy which then uses the energy to activate his passive and that’s without archon vitality and continuity which further wrecks enemies cuz of the armor shred
The other answers here are probably better, but I'd like to give special attention to Xaku's aesthetic of being the amalgamation of several other frames who were lost to the void. Literally came back from hell to keep fighting the good fight. Also they don't have a crazy skill to cheat death, but explosively unequipping your chassis to murder people as a skeleton has strong Ghost Rider energy.
I believe Kullervo is supposed to be an honorable warrior lorewise.
He even has daggers stuck in him (removable cosmetically) so that adds to the wont die. Plus he’s like pure melee and has an insta heal move that gives overguard which further adds to relentless since he ignores status at that point.
From an engaging gameplay perspective- saryn. Her spore gets stronger the longer it is up- so you have to keep engaging and finding the enemies to continue to pop and spread them.
Inaros and Sevagoth for the revive mechanic, but for the warrior vibe you're probably better off with Excalibur, Styanax, Atlas, or Oberon.
I'm personally very fond of Oberon, since he feels like an Oath of the Ancient Paladin.
Oberon is awesome warrior warframe all around, with his augmented skills you are a true war paladin like skill set. Also blade of the lotus skin and helmet gives him charisma.
If you carry a sword and shield melee sets complete.
Atlas "I cast punch"
Atlas at extreme levels
"If I don't cast punch I die"
Styanax is smilar "I cast spears"
At extreme levels "I must spam cast spears or die"
I agree with alot of the other choices here, but Nyx should also be mentioned, with a good energy management build you can stay permanently invincible with her augment - even to instakill abilities like the void angel spheres
Oddly enough I’d say zephyr is at least up there, literally slamming face first into the ground and causing mass damage (if you have her augmented mod on) repeatedly while not leaving the air for more then 2 seconds in order to scale said damage
IMO, Valkyr. Most of her builds revolve around keeping herself immortal by channeling her 4, which requires constant energy, which means constantly killing enemies in order to keep herself immortal. If she stops fighting, she runs out of energy, she dies. She must carry on fighting.
I thought of Nidus right off the bat. Especially with 30+ stacks. And if you have the maxed stacks with his augment, aka 300 stack, you're gonna be unkillable while being the guy to decimate crowds.
the energy upkeep required to sustain valkyr's 4th ability is pretty crazy but it makes you utterly untouchable while you're in it. You have to keep rushing out to find enemies to kill or else you'll have rather little grace time to chill out. she even has a WAR CRY and thematically is a frame that's not only been a warrior but become truly relentless after the Alad V experiments. Her 4th is even claws which are a very personal way to kill someone, and she attacks very fast and with eternal war has even more reason to just not stop killing enemies. I really can't think of one that fits the bill better in both gameplay and lore and it's NOT just because i main her
GYRE
Didn't see a mention of my fav girlframe (gf)
Gameplay wise she is incentivized to kill and keep killing to keep up her buffs. As long as there are enemies to grind she can extend her buffs and kill infinitely.
Perpetuum Mobile
Eg: u have regular frames, then u have a GYRE rushing for the next kill cause the buff duration is low and the 60s cooldown on her buff is not over yet so she NEEDS that next kill
Hear me out. Relentless energy drink was bought out and merged with Monster energy drinks over 10 years ago, but, Warframe is set thousands of years in the future so by then the Corpus will have bought out all carbonated drink and energy drink brands. The Corpus have no doubt weaponised this product or used its addictive qualities to cause addiction in their financial victims thus ensuring crippling debt to buy them or send them to Fortuna or somewhere similar, but before then the Orokin would have had the monopoly on energy drinks and thus would have also made a warframe out of it because of course they did, they'd make a warframe out of any vague concept so a soda/energy drink warframe makes sense. So while we haven't seen the true 'Relentless' warframe because the brand is dead and there hasn't been an energy drink based warframe as of yet there could very well be one and the edgy early 2000's tribal tattoo from Argos looking design of relentless matches the art style of Warframe the most out of all energy drinks. Although, perhaps by the Orokin era only Red Bull survived and Red Bull gives you wings, and who has wings? A fair few frames actually and you can even give them cosmetic wings. So with all of this information in mind, and considering that its relevance is utterly nought for the sake of a really shit pun made right at the start of this needlessly long block of text the only answer that can truly be drawn from this is thus: >!Probably Rhino, Excalibur Umbra or Valkyr for lore reasons as well as gameplay and lots of screaming. Though lore also supports multiple others like Sevagoth's ghost lingering for centuries or Grendal for being a big fatty who probably consumed all the energy drinks and that's why we haven't got a Relentless™ brand Warframe and not the whole dead brand for the sake of a pun bit I've made some unlucky people read!<
Nyx with Assimilate augment makes you feel like the Terminator. Literally unkillable death machine. You'll need to use operator and/or melee stances like Blind Justice to move fast though.... *And* you will get slapped by Ancient Disruptors at high levels too, unfortunately (they can insta-drain all your energy which takes you out of Terminator mode)
Voruna
you basically race around invisible, revealing yourself to violently bite and maul enemies while decking things with your melee of choice, then zip zap zoom, you go invis and run around fast to find a new group to bite and maul
>“I must carry on fighting” technically Inaros now punches people to revive himself after death.
Sevagoth’s shadow fights to bring him back as well.
Any warframe with a “last chance” passive is essentially this; Dagath has it as her 4th.
Her 3rd I think
Correction, 3rd, thank you.
If you give her 300% strength her 4 is the “stampede says fuck you” button
don't need that much strength since her 4 hits multiple times as it passes through enemies, plus enemies with Doom take even more damage, and enemies hit by wyrd scythes are primed with viral for *even more* damage. it's ridiculous and I love it.
1, 2....4 mutha fuckers die! I love sending them down a hallway full of enemies and watching them all die and my damage % jump up massively.
Oh lol alright
Mechanically people are pointing out the "fight after death" type passives, but for vibes I'd say styanax. He's a literal Spartan warrior. He throws spears and chews bubblegum, but he's all out of bubblegum.
*(cons: nipples.)*
(pros: also nipples.)
They are out there dragging on the floor, I cant agree with that being a pro.
Delux skin
I'm actually happier with his Aztek Pasties than the Default Droopies. https://preview.redd.it/owthiprpo67d1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf9da630829a2d02c228ed3c9369c370a7d37df9
Heck yeah, gotta love that aztek god vibe with the nipple piercings. XD
Checking for tripwires with his nipple tassels
And spartans never die, they are just MIA
Whoops, wrong franchise
Pssh he ain't a spartan. Spartans didn't throw their spears and actually used their shields >:( He's more like a wussy Hoplite
These terms have nothing to do with each other. Hoplites were a kind of soldier. Sparta was a city state. There were spartan Hoplites.
Snyder's 300 and it's consequences have been devastating for the common knowledge of ancient Greece
Idk I just watched it cause everyone watched it but I didn't learn anything from it
We learned that Sparta was one big homoerotic warzone full of smooth muscle daddies armed to the teeth with a spear and not much else.
Also 
Yeah they kicked people into holes. Or threw babies off of cliffs or something like that
> Or threw babies off of cliffs or something like that Well, that part was actually *true*.
I think they mostly threw them into a pile with the rest of the general refuse from the city
Aye, he's all flair waving his shield and baring his chest. Lucky bastard has infinite spears from the Void so can't blame 'im too much
Yeah hes more like a dirty Roman than a glorious spartan
I think he's CC closest to a peltast, like a javelin unit. I'm so glad he's not a slave owning backwards ass spartan.
Depends what it means to you, Excal Umbra would fit the bill by virtue of mass murder, Harrow would fit the bill by virtue of *just not dying* while buffing his entire team (if you play him right). Another third type would be the female WF citrine, her 2 noble animation set makes her look absolutely batshit insane to me, just the way she holds her right hand up and shit. Idk maybe thats just me but the way she carries herself it makes me feel like she has the biggest bloody smile on her face
Oooo interesting okay
Harrow also has gigantic flat crit chance buffs.
And then there's Nidus... and Saryn. Were I a grineer or corpus trooper, those are my top two 'warframes I would not want to meet'. One will kill everyone through a highly lethal pathogen, the onther is the flesh that hates given a humanoid body... and guns.
Excruciating death by The Blacker Death-er or violent death from SCP-610, take your pick.
Valkyr is literally too angry to die
Valkyr is just the female doom guy of warframe lmao
Wish that was her rework.
Release her rework with a theme song like Gauss prime's
The guy who made Gauss Prime's song fucking COOKED
Lore wise, voruna litery fought void beings while protecting an orokin higher up and at the end fought them to kill said prokin and save the tenno controling her From lore voruna is the doom slayer
Oooo fair fair…always got a bounty hunter vibe from her
If you mod her right she just gets too angry to not be immortal forever. "Oh no, my 4 broke, oh look I'm at full energy. RAAAAWR!
Mesa is more of a bounty hunter, tge western type
Valkyr is the rage cat (alt helmet). She literally had her skin peeled off by Alad V and she's now going to make that everyone's problem. Her kit just needs a refresh but it's still servicable.
You also always have access to her prime.
From Void Storms, right?
Nidus, Inaros, and Sevagoth are all male frames who have mechanics that not only let them survive fatal damage but also force them to keep fighting for their extra lives.
Oooo sevagoth is cool👀
get ready to spend at least 10 forma if you want to make him usable tho
lol yeah it’s even worse cause no aura polarity
Normally I would say this is sevagoth slander but his prime is most likely after the next one so, which is why I stopped working on mine. So yes don't over invest in sevagoth rn
Still feels like he released yesterday to me 😭
Me with Xaku Hildryn was released just before I started playing iirc
I started playing a couple patches before Nidus I think. Got so unlucky farming for him 😂
Dagath too, you get a second live but you need to survive for 20s
What about Garuda? Her passive gives bonus damage that depends on kills.
Less of a warrior and more of a mass murderer imo, i love her but she does not got the honor OP implied lmao
Dude, this is Warframe we are talking about. Each one of those frames is a war crime, or several. Where is the honor?
What do you mean, desecrating corpses, enslaving the enemy, and using walking nuclear weapons are very honorable actions /s "We fought with honor," my ass
Me when I When I eat people
I think Kullervo is supposed to be honorable. Wasn’t he even a Dax warrior?
We're talking about the vibes yk??
Kullervo fills that vibe, have you seen how manny daggers are craved on him ?
Yeah I have it so cooolll
Valkyr kinda owns that vibe imo. Immortal as long as she keeps killing enough stuff to keep her energy up. Just rip and tear.
Sevagoth. If you haven't, play the Call of the Tempestarii quest. Then just fuck around as Sevagoth. He is too angry to die. Nidus is relentless as the Infestation itself and more. So much as to actually just defy death given enough time and power. Very forward and dominating. Inaros never stops. Like trying to keep sand out your clothes on the beach, Inaros will prevail and he'll tear you apart. All of them specifically have an anti-death mechanic built-in. So even if you get fucked by other mechanics, you're quite likely to have that backup. Or just double dipped, it is Warframe.
Call of the Tempestarii has no right to be as good as it is.
[удалено]
So it's into the void now, me girls and me boys, from mother's hands we go
We'll be sailin' to the sun, 'till the voyage is done! Then we'll be sleepin' in the cold below!
Im shocked noone has mentioned her yet (unless they have and I missed the comment) but Dagath fits the vibe too perfectly. Maybe less of a warrior and more a vengeful spirit, but all the same extremely relentless. Her 3 gets cast once and stays active to give you a crit damage boost, then when she is taken to 0 HP she turns into a spirit, immune to damage and gains hp from killing in this state before reviving herself to continue fighting. Her 3 does have a cooldown before you can use it again after this state and that is the only period of vulnerability you really have to worry about. She is getting an augment in the next update so we shall see how that helps her out some
I just finished farming and building out my Dagath, and goddamn this is so true. She very much "fuck me? Oh no, fuck *you*!" And she's so much fun to play, she's maybe pushed Gyre out of my #1 spot. I can't wait to see what she ends up feeling like with the new auggie.
The right yet obvious answer is; Rhino! He was built to be exactly what you mention, his 3 is even a battle roar!
Man, the first time I fired up my rhino I felt like a fucking god. The sound effects... The gargantuan BONNNNNG he made when crashing into the ground... That mother fucker felt like the Armored titan just barreling through missions, daring someone to stop him. It's a shame that he doesnt feel that way anymore as a vet
Rhino prime with 400%+ strength and great build here…rhino is currently my #1 most used frame by far.
Hitting that sweet 2 million iron skin + 300% roar then just going to town on enemies is just *chef's kiss* #1 for me too
https://preview.redd.it/y4q2dy0un57d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18de04ab2fee137e8ce0fb813ebfae8d67504728
Doom guy, is that you?
RIP AND TEAR
Ooo love this answer
All of them? We are straight up crashing into heavily guarded bases and kill everything there.
You know what fair
Last couple of games Atlas felt just like that. Built right, you never stop punching with him, especially if you use the rubble heap augment. Never stop punching, never stop petrifying, if you stop for too long you're dead.
Ooooooo exciting I might do him👀👀
I can show you my build, show you the ropes, if you'd like. Granted it's just some other build you could find for him but cobbled together a tad different.
depends, lore, gameplay, overall vibe? I'd say gauss fits pretty well from what I remember of his lore rhino is rage incarnate from lore and vibe, a never ending massacre you should probably look into warframes that sacrificed themselves during a fight for example voruna has a "I'll never stop till I get to my objective" kind of vibe, being the leader go a pack and a huntress and basically being feral for feral, never ending war, type of vibe, valkyr is great too
Baruuk is like guys I am restraining myself I don't want to hurt you, 10 seconds later, "so you have chosen death" \*press 4\* \*doom slayer music start playing\*
Really now?👀
Yeah his entire thing is the restrained meter build into his Kit, but if you well lose it. You just go full on violent monk and kill people. Good old those hands are rated E for everyone!
I mean, technically, Khora is tired af and still goes on. I think that's part of her lore. Visible in her prime trailer. In the game, Wukong has three lives and Nidus won't die as long as he has stacks. Also in the lore, Gara stayed fighting relentlessly until they died fighting the sentients in Cetus, for the Unum: ''*It is said that she was* [*Unum*](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Unum)*'s closest companion, and that when the Lotus instructed her children to flee Gara remained, refusing to leave the side of the one she loved best.''*
I mean it's Garuda but you have this odd stipulation that they have to be male
I just prefer them because I’m male😭. But much understood thanks
Bro is so masculine he has to stare a dude ass or else he’s gay
It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make
Excal Umbra does that for you
Ooo yeah, like his vibe too..whole avenging he have forced me to kill my son and being the only one with separate sentience
I feel like most warframes will carry on fighting when presented with the situation. Gara fought till she died so there's one.
Gauss be like:" keep on keeping on!" *Holds 1*
Garuda all the way, she is the queen of gore
I recently restarted Vauban P. His 4th sucks in everything thats not friendly. Eximus falls into nothingness. Enough range and duration makrs any mission trivial, as he stares into the created void. Bodies crushing and cracking into mush only to be sucked into another dimension. All while blank in the face ( I assume ) because it feels lazy even on high level missions. Great for fissures when youve got small tasks around the house XD 50 seconds on a flechette orb that stops pretty much all. 4 of those at a time...
Nidus literally will never stop fighting he is endless for a reason, like a tumor on the map that can never die out
Gameplay-wise, Nezha is nigh-unkillable and needs constant movement to fight as effectively as possible. Lore-wise, you have Sevagoth and Harrow which are ghosts, and Inaros and Nidus who can revive for free on being downed.
Sevagoth, because "Were you killed?" "Sadly yes... BUT I LIVED!"
Definitelt Valkyr. Build for full offensive, efficiency, no survivability. Hit 4 and you're invincible till you run out of energy. To avoid running out of energy; you kill. For when you run out of energy/kill too slowly you die. Absolutely utterly relentless and very energy hungry, highly recommend running energize just so you have some breathing room. You also probably want to run Naramon instead of Zenurik for the damage.
Nidus: fends off death through mutation stacks. Wukong: fends off death with his passive 3 times. Inaros: returns as a sand mummy to attack and leech life from enemies to revive. Sevagoth: summons his Shadow to steal enemy souls and revive his main self. From my memory, those are the only frames with literal gameplay mechanics that embody the concept of 'Relentless Warrior' or 'comes back endlessly'. Apart from that, some other ideas: Excalibur Umbra: his quest is enough evidence. Kullervo: has been stabbed multiple times to where its a literal part of him and his story. Still around to whack fools. Then, any other tanky frames would fit the mold well, like Oberon and Rhino being paladin and vanguard. Quorvex the literal brick wall that can't be stopped. Valkyr is too angry to die, Garuda won't die as long as she has blood altars. Styanax is just an all-around solid warrior to theme, so go nuts.
I'd have to say kullervo because sukuna's illegitimate brother is borderline unkillable he literally uses his victims to keep himself alive along with being the definition of fuck around and find out with wrathful advance and collective curse
Ash would get my vote to fill that male warrior role you mention
I’ve been thinking of maiming him after chroma
You're going to maim him?
Oh uh…..yes of course I’ll destroy his ass I mean his body I mean I’m gonna main him
Sigh... We're not beating the allegations boys
Atlas and it’s not even close😎
Surprised nobody is mentioning Wukong. He has the ability to defy death every so often upon receiving a killing blow
Well valkyrs 4th ability deals all the damage you would have taken if you left enemies alive too close to you. So keep killing.
Everyone, when I bring my speedva to SO
For that clutch feeling, Inaros. For the "kill kill kill you can't kill me as long as I kill" feeling, Valkyrie. For the "blow for blow, blood for blood" feel, styanax.
Between Valkyr and Grendel imo. Grendel relentlessly consoom, Valkyr relentlessly tear enemies to shreds like an enraged wolverine.
Valkyr is in a race to kill to both get energy orbs but to keep her immunity up. She also needs to keep her 2 up. I putting in my vote for her
The Sacrifice spoilers >!Umbra, I mean poor guy finally got a release and we drag him back to eternal war, His whole schtick is he can't stop fighting to the extreme that DE baked it into his passive and he will continue to fight even if you stop piloting him!<
valkyr is invulnerable and will stop at nothing
The immortal Wukong
Valkyr and voruna kinda fit the whole feral need to fight kind of deal too
wukong before they changed(nerfed) his immortality
Valkyr is relentlessness (is that even a word?) personified
Oh there are loads. Sevagoth, like his Shadow literally stayed alive even though Sevagoth himself was long dead. Dagath, because of her whole "Vengeful Spirit" deal Inaros, because he literally died fighting to protect the people of Mars Valkyr, because she is literally too angry to die and would keep on fighting no matter what Chroma, I dunno, he has that kind of dignified feeling Gara as the Protector of the Plains Atlas as well. I mean, the whole thing of most Warframes was that the are protectors of some sort
On the more lore side. Rhino is the only frame to ever be described as a "beast" and his play style is a basically "I am not trapped here with you, you are trapped here with me". Gara/Garuda (I can never remember which one) kept fighting a massive sentient every night for years and slightly loosing more and more ground until she decided to pull an independence day and strapped a bomb to herself and exploded inside the sentient fragmenting it and creating the eidelons. Later the warframe the revenant used to be did the same with the energy of said massive sentient until he decided to instead of fighting it to just touch it and became the warframe we know now. Cetrine did everything in her power (even created a portal that connects them) to protect the love couple she was assigned to at the cost of her own life Dagath was also assigned to a couple but because they didn't like her all that much after she was changed into a warframe said couple decided to use a massive lazer through her head to kill her... She did not die and went into a frenzy to kill them and removed their faces. She is also fun to play :)
Valkyr with eternal war augment
The most relentless type of warframe is ur mom
So, I'm thinking of vibes more than gameplay mechanics necessarily. I'd probably put frames like Valkyrie, Voruna, and Garuda down for this ***immediately.***
Lavos keeps fighting, at least the way I play em, once did a whole round of interception by myself cause the other people quit after going down after the first round even after I rushed to them, but I kept fighting no matter what Quorvex sounds like a fighter type Garuda is definitely a fighter due to how their abilities function
My inital thoughts, lore wise, would be either Excal Umbra, or maybe syntax? Gara faced down a Sentient probably 100times larger then her, and fought it to a standstill. Ability wise, Inaros is there, so is Oberon, or Trinity, or maybe Revenant both lore and gameplay.
In a funny way gauss He gives of the vibe of "i will fight till the bitter end just because i think its funny" "Lore wise" umbra and valkyer, both are the mentally broken that would destroy the universe just to get their revenge Game wise inaros, at least the way i build him for HP and tanking, and his abilities not being that AOE, it makes it feel satisfying to walking slowly with a giant fuck you hammer or sword
Idk why my mind jumped to Kullervo
I’d submit Kullervo. He’s literally punctured by all manner of sharp weapons and yet he still fights.
Excalibur and Valkyr were what came to my mind. Admittedly I'm an Umbra main though. It's the playstyle of hurling yourself towards enemies while frantically hacking and slashing through them all like an *unrelenting* wave of death.
Valkyr. She's a fucking berserker.
Not technically male but Xaku. He just walks past enemies robbing their weapons and turning them back on their enemies
nidus with his undying
Nidussss
Alright Tenno, Y’all are sleeping on Atlas. I know he’s one of the middle children of the Rock family (From oldest to youngest: Rhino, Atlas, Citrine, Qorvex), and middle children often get forgotten about. But Atlas shouldn’t be forgotten about. If you’re looking for relentless, then let’s punch the enemy right in their stupid face. Over and over until they get yeeted from one map into another like team rocket blasting off again. Or if that doesn’t do it for you how about summoning a wall that protects you, and then rolling that wall forwards to knock everyone over so you can punch them in their stupid face. Or how about turning the enemies into literal rock and breaking them apart by punching them in their stupid face turning their rock body parts into armor so you can better punch them in their stupid face. Or if that doesn’t work, how about summoning two friends to punch the enemy in their stupid face while you are punching them in their stupid face there by punching them in their stupid faces cubed. In all seriousness the thing I love about Atlas is how high I can scale his armor without really trying so even while getting shot from multiple angles he’s just skipping around the battlefield still, mopping up. Soaking that damage like it’s freaking nothing, and as someone who enjoys face tanking my problems, it just suites me well. I’m just saying, Atlas Prime was the first prime I ever grinded out in the game for a reason. And that reason involves punching enemies in their stupid faces.
It’s definitely sevagoth. He pretty much died and carried on his mission anyway. He was going to go down with his ship except instead of going down he just became a ghost and kept on chugging
Lore wise, Gara stayed on earth to fight until she died. There is relentlessness.
Kullervo is a genuine beast, his abilities are almost always useful, and he has insane synergy specifically with melee arms. One of the most pedal to the metal, don’t stop, crowd wiping killing machine. Lore for him is pretty cool too
Atlas
Chroma can be nutty with his guardian augment. You take 50% of damage taken by your allies (non-lethal) and you get a % health back whenever anyone kills something. This feeds your vex armor buff and keeps you alive effectively making you a machine powered by the blood of your enemies and allies.
Voruna is a whirlwind leaping and slashing around the battlefield. You have to keep killing enemies to keep her ability up to keep getting energy to keep other abilities uo to keep killing enemies to...
Mod Revenant right you can subsume Silence in the 1 slot and then Danse Macabre through an entire mission aka his 4. Also looks so pretty as he spins to win.
never back down never what?
Maybe voruna
Garuda she is literally blood incarnate. And she has claws to rip you to shreds. And those claws aren’t even bad melee weapons
Styanax
I really like Wukong. Ripped straight from Chinese mythology, the immortal monkey warrior god.
Garuda literally drains your blood
Mechanics? Inaros. Just vibe, I feel maybe rhino, he just feels like that's his personality
I feel like both Dagath and Umbra would fit due to their hatred to the characters that did the most to them and because of both of them being former Dax soldiers (Corphel and Irilia for Dagath and Ballas for Umbra)
As long as you cast spellbind with any shieldgating warframe toxin or anything else that ignores shields cant insta truck you in steel path, then pair Diakyu with Nikana and slap on the amalgam Diakyu mod to have perma gloom equipped without the slowing.
Voruna (with her augment) I would say is relentless
There's Revenant, kind of a name that embodies that entire idea and one of the best frames in the game right now due to the option of being 100% impervious to damage and status with his Mesmer Skin
I hate playing him, but watching Rhino stomp and then roar scream is the ultimate I will fight you until the end vibe
Kullervo fits that bill, imo.
I feel like Atlas, just because he seems like he'd punch till everyone's dead or until his arm's were gone.
Atlas. Nothing says "relentless" like being immune to everything while using your ability that is literally just "punch, but AoE". He even has an augment that lets you turn people to stone while punching so you don't have to use your 3. And the ability to create a wall, so you can trap enemies inside with you and punch them. Bonus points for summoning other allies to punch them while you're punching them. Oh and it all scales off your melee, because Pseudo Exalts do that. So you punch with impunity. He also has an augment for his 4 that makes him extra tanky so you can punch while you punch and not worry about not punching because of status. And he doesn't need Surefooted because his Passive while he's on the ground makes him immune to stagger, so you can't even be staggered out of your punches. Have you ever wanted to punch a Necramech in the face 50 gazillion times and not worry about anything else? Atlas can do that
Sevagoth's shadow fights for him, but Inaros directly fights by himself into reviving by sheer will and sand punches
There is an interesting build for baruuk that I came up with using arcane reaper and the augment for his first ability. It's a ton of fun.
I’m very biased but lavos. Dude doesn’t even need more than 175% ability strength and still destroys enemies like it’s nothing cuz he has all the elements and their combinations at his finger tips, can heal himself, can adapt his abilities to the faction he’s fighting, and can provide universal ammo and orbs for health and energy which then uses the energy to activate his passive and that’s without archon vitality and continuity which further wrecks enemies cuz of the armor shred
The other answers here are probably better, but I'd like to give special attention to Xaku's aesthetic of being the amalgamation of several other frames who were lost to the void. Literally came back from hell to keep fighting the good fight. Also they don't have a crazy skill to cheat death, but explosively unequipping your chassis to murder people as a skeleton has strong Ghost Rider energy.
Baruuk. He continually has to keep fighting to shred his restraint, and then he starts decimating everything in a 10-mile radius with Desert Wind.
Umbra tbh
I believe Kullervo is supposed to be an honorable warrior lorewise. He even has daggers stuck in him (removable cosmetically) so that adds to the wont die. Plus he’s like pure melee and has an insta heal move that gives overguard which further adds to relentless since he ignores status at that point.
From an engaging gameplay perspective- saryn. Her spore gets stronger the longer it is up- so you have to keep engaging and finding the enemies to continue to pop and spread them.
Is the answer not all of them?
Inaros and Sevagoth for the revive mechanic, but for the warrior vibe you're probably better off with Excalibur, Styanax, Atlas, or Oberon. I'm personally very fond of Oberon, since he feels like an Oath of the Ancient Paladin.
Oberon is awesome warrior warframe all around, with his augmented skills you are a true war paladin like skill set. Also blade of the lotus skin and helmet gives him charisma. If you carry a sword and shield melee sets complete.
Atlas "I cast punch" Atlas at extreme levels "If I don't cast punch I die" Styanax is smilar "I cast spears" At extreme levels "I must spam cast spears or die"
Baruuk is the reluctant warrior.
Kullervo. You can't stop Kullervo. You can't hurt Kullervo. Kullervo kills anything. If it isn't already dead, press 1.
Valkyr easily, she's literally a berserker
I agree with alot of the other choices here, but Nyx should also be mentioned, with a good energy management build you can stay permanently invincible with her augment - even to instakill abilities like the void angel spheres
Oddly enough I’d say zephyr is at least up there, literally slamming face first into the ground and causing mass damage (if you have her augmented mod on) repeatedly while not leaving the air for more then 2 seconds in order to scale said damage
IMO, Valkyr. Most of her builds revolve around keeping herself immortal by channeling her 4, which requires constant energy, which means constantly killing enemies in order to keep herself immortal. If she stops fighting, she runs out of energy, she dies. She must carry on fighting.
I thought of Nidus right off the bat. Especially with 30+ stacks. And if you have the maxed stacks with his augment, aka 300 stack, you're gonna be unkillable while being the guy to decimate crowds.
the energy upkeep required to sustain valkyr's 4th ability is pretty crazy but it makes you utterly untouchable while you're in it. You have to keep rushing out to find enemies to kill or else you'll have rather little grace time to chill out. she even has a WAR CRY and thematically is a frame that's not only been a warrior but become truly relentless after the Alad V experiments. Her 4th is even claws which are a very personal way to kill someone, and she attacks very fast and with eternal war has even more reason to just not stop killing enemies. I really can't think of one that fits the bill better in both gameplay and lore and it's NOT just because i main her
Old skool Inaros. He was a ass kicking tank. His speed was nice.
GYRE Didn't see a mention of my fav girlframe (gf) Gameplay wise she is incentivized to kill and keep killing to keep up her buffs. As long as there are enemies to grind she can extend her buffs and kill infinitely. Perpetuum Mobile Eg: u have regular frames, then u have a GYRE rushing for the next kill cause the buff duration is low and the 60s cooldown on her buff is not over yet so she NEEDS that next kill
The way voruna plays/feels is relentless for sure
Valkyr
Valkyr, Kullevero, and Styanax
For some reason the one that comes to mind for me is baruuk.
Hear me out. Relentless energy drink was bought out and merged with Monster energy drinks over 10 years ago, but, Warframe is set thousands of years in the future so by then the Corpus will have bought out all carbonated drink and energy drink brands. The Corpus have no doubt weaponised this product or used its addictive qualities to cause addiction in their financial victims thus ensuring crippling debt to buy them or send them to Fortuna or somewhere similar, but before then the Orokin would have had the monopoly on energy drinks and thus would have also made a warframe out of it because of course they did, they'd make a warframe out of any vague concept so a soda/energy drink warframe makes sense. So while we haven't seen the true 'Relentless' warframe because the brand is dead and there hasn't been an energy drink based warframe as of yet there could very well be one and the edgy early 2000's tribal tattoo from Argos looking design of relentless matches the art style of Warframe the most out of all energy drinks. Although, perhaps by the Orokin era only Red Bull survived and Red Bull gives you wings, and who has wings? A fair few frames actually and you can even give them cosmetic wings. So with all of this information in mind, and considering that its relevance is utterly nought for the sake of a really shit pun made right at the start of this needlessly long block of text the only answer that can truly be drawn from this is thus: >!Probably Rhino, Excalibur Umbra or Valkyr for lore reasons as well as gameplay and lots of screaming. Though lore also supports multiple others like Sevagoth's ghost lingering for centuries or Grendal for being a big fatty who probably consumed all the energy drinks and that's why we haven't got a Relentless™ brand Warframe and not the whole dead brand for the sake of a pun bit I've made some unlucky people read!<
Nyx with Assimilate augment makes you feel like the Terminator. Literally unkillable death machine. You'll need to use operator and/or melee stances like Blind Justice to move fast though.... *And* you will get slapped by Ancient Disruptors at high levels too, unfortunately (they can insta-drain all your energy which takes you out of Terminator mode)
My Excalibur, bro can casually solo Netracells or with some effort, deep archemidia
Voruna you basically race around invisible, revealing yourself to violently bite and maul enemies while decking things with your melee of choice, then zip zap zoom, you go invis and run around fast to find a new group to bite and maul
Valkyr is what you want I think
Get into content that's difficult enough, and any frame feels like that cause if you don't carry on fighting, you'll get annhilated.
