The glass based warframe, Gara, is worse. Imagine a sandstorm, but the sand is deadly glass shards. Gara's Splinter Storm is that glass storm, simultaneously deflecting 90% of incoming damage, and acts as a hideously lethal damage field around her.
And it gets worse. Gara can project a very durable glass wall around her. Any caught inside the wall when it expands become coated in glass, unable to move and their own durability to added to the wall. If Gara then casts her first ability (a choice between a piercing glass bullet or a swing of a glass sword) on the wall, the wall will explode, nuking every living thing on the block outside the shield with a glass explosion that would atomize the block. An explosion of that caliber would normally be enough to oneshot any warframe, too, barring invincibility gimmicks.
And it gets EVEN WORSE. If Gara chooses to deliberately put herself into the line of fire of that explosion with her Splinter Storm, the shield will capture the strength of the explosion and continue to deal the damage of that explosion every single second it's active. And Gara can capture multiple explosions. As many as she wants, as long as she maintains the Splinter Storm, which normally has a fixed lifespan...but every time Gara projects the wall, she resets that lifespan too. Give a Gara an hour to prepare with enough energy pads, and I'm confident she could create a glass storm so powerful she could scour an Endbringer to the core.
Warframes are bullshit.
EDIT: I mistakenly thought Gara's Splinter Storm was named Shattershield. Shattersheild's a field the warframe Mesa projects that causes incoming projectiles to literally return to sender. In my defense, the Splinter Storm is formed by Gara shattering the glass decorating her warframe to form the storm, so it seemed right at the time.
You think that's bad? That's just going by one of the frames that's seen as
good. Even the frames that perform poorly, by in game standards, would be absolutely
horrifying in any other context. Equinox kills you with a field of slashing pain and bleeding, adds the damage that killed you to a running total, and then uses that running total to kill everything around her. Atlas
literally petrifies you, shatters you, and wears you as armor. Wukong is an unkillable monster with an exalted weapon, the size and strength of which is only really limited by how much Void power his operator can pump through him. Ember
immolates everything she decides to turn into ash. Nekros kills you, uses a Void imprint of
who you are as a person to fight your friends, and desecrates your corpse for extra loot. Nyx pulls levels of Master-power bullshit that can only rightly be compared to
Khepri in the Worm universe. Zephyr not only uses the air itself to make herself more maneuverable in the air, she can make
localized tornadoes to kill you. Revenant's best offensive option tailors itself to hurt you as much as is possible, while simultaneously redirecting any damage you manage to do to him into the beams to make them hurt even more. Vauban uses devices to control the battlefield that would make any Tinker worth their salt
drool at the possibilities. Titania shrinks herself down to such a small size that the best marksmen in the military would be lucky to hit her during the heat of battle, and then flies around at ridiculous speeds killing you with the weapons that are all already established to be war crimes in any modern setting. And that's just the frames that are seen as
mediocre at best.
The frames that are actually seen as good are even
more terrifying in concept.
Saryn? She's a walking bio weapon that could make a plague only rivaled by what Panacea could come up with if she decided to go full extinction. Banshee uses
sound to kill you. Mesa shoots you with such speed and precision that only a high level Mover could hope to even
compare to how quickly she takes out your forces, and that's not even counting her accuracy. Rhino
can affect the flow of time in a localized area by stomping the fucking ground. Hell, the newest frame, Wisp, can kill you by creating a small portal
to the fucking sun and blasting you with
pure solar plasma, its radiation unfettered by not having to move through the upper atmosphere before reaching the surface.
In
any context other than the gameplay of Warframe, pretty much all of the Warframes are walking WMD's that have the capability to take out a significant portion of the human race. In fact, the knowledge that the Warframes
are that powerful on their own make the Sentients
even more of a credible threat to the Origin System. Keep in mind that the Orokin had already tried attacking them with a virus that somehow also affects inorganic matter
and creates a hive mind, and that didn't work. The only thing that even put a dent in the Sentient forces was the Warframes, but even they struggled until the Tenno took control of them. Add in that even
after the Tenno were controlled, it's implied that the Old War was hard won? Plus the fact that, for all we know, Wally could be a mental facsimile of the Void, which in and of itself is already pretty fucking terrifying on a cosmic horror scale, attempting to communicate with the Tenno and turn them towards being
more ruthless and bloodthirsty, as evidenced by how much he likes it when you actually
consume Kuva at the end of WW, there's a
reason that the people over at TvTropes tend to see Warframe as an amazing example of the Mook Horror Show trope (at least in my experience). If you're not a Tenno or a Sentient, you can pretty much kiss your ass goodbye if you run afoul of some of the shit in the Origin System. As for the people of Earth Bet? Well, they'd better hope that Taylor's Clan can hold themselves back from following her long enough for her to complete her Solar Rail back to the Origin System and explain the time difference, because they wouldn't have nearly as many qualms about killing anyone and anyone in their way during their stay on the planet.
