Mods are a crucial part of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Warframe's customization. Hundreds of Mods are available for players to find, upgrade, and use to morp🌳h weapons and Warframes to their will. With how many Mods exist in the game, not all are created equal.
Some Mods have unique set bonuses tied to them and are known as set Mods. The more Mods from a certain set family are equipped, the stronger the set bonus. As wit🍰h most Mods, however, some are far better than others. Here are all Mod sets ranke🌠d from worst to best.
Updated January 1st, 2022, by Charles Burgar: The New War update came with it three new Mod sets for players to chase, all of which have some interesting set bonuses and melee-unique Mods. Beyond ranking the three new Mod sets, we've overhauled this article to include information on each Mod in a given set, rewrote nearly every entry, and reranked nearly every entry to give a much better indicator of how good these sets are. We've taken into account how strong each Mod in the set is, the set bonus, and any opportunity costs associated with using these sets.

Motus Signal(Warframe, Exilus) |
7 –(Naramon) |
Increases Double Jump strength by 200% |
Knockdown immunity while airborne is an underwhelming set bonus, but that's not the worst part of the Motus set. The issue is that all of these Mods have been made obsolete. Motus Impact is worse than Primed Reach, Motus Setup is no longer needed since Critical Deceleration is a fantastic critical Mod for Shotguns now, and Motus Signal is much worse than any Bullet Jump Mod 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:or Arcane. Don't bother using this set.

Proton Snap(Melee) |
9 V(Madurai) |

Proton grants up to 50% damage reduction during a Wall Latch, a set bonus that is somewhat lacking. The Mods are also underwhelming, focusing entirely on Wall Dashing. With how Warframe's levels are structured, Wall Dashing and Latching is just never used. The bonuses you get for doing so aren't appealing enough to warrant slowing down gameplay, and most of these Mods take up critical slots that could be used to enhance your damage in a more consistent manner. Skip this set.

Aero Vantage(Sniper) |
7 –(Naramon) |

Obtained from Amalgam's on Jupiter, the Aero Mod set is comprised of three Mods that boost a Warframe's mobility by enhancing Aim Gliding. With only one Exilus slot on your Warframe—which most already use to install Handspring or Primed Sure Footed—asking players to install an Aim Glide Mod in that slot is a tough sell. The set bonus, fun as it might be, just isn't strong enough to warrant sacrificing knockdown or Lua Drift Mods.
16 Jugulus

Jugulus Mod Set |

Introduced with the Heart of Deimos update, the Jugulus Mod set grants increased Puncture damage for weapons, status chance, and some survivability buffs for your Warframe. The set bonus causes heavy attacks to skewer targets within 10 meters of impact, dealing 75 Puncture damage and stunning them for three seconds. While a fun bonus, the Mods from this set are lacking and the set bonus has a six-second cooldown that is unmoddable. And for the Mods themselves, they focus on the worst IPS damage type in the game: Puncture. You're better off running a 60/60 Status Mod or a Mod from the Carnis set.
15 Mecha

Mecha Mod Set |

|
Set Bonus: Companion marks a target every 60/45/30/15s for 3/6/9/12s. Killing the target applies their Status Effects to 🌳all enemies within 7.5/15/22.5/30m. |

Mecha Recharge(Kubrow) |

*Shares the modded status chance of your primary weapon.
Kubrows got their own Mod set with the Mecha set. This collection of Mods increases a Kubrow's Shield recharge, grants Status-Link with its owner, and marks targets to spread status effects while granting its owner Armor. Mecha Pulse is arguably the most interesting Mod in this set, yet it takes up a core Warframe Mod slot that could be used to enhance your abilities or survivability. The set bonus is nothing to write home about either. Spreading Status Effects is not a worthy tradeoff for the opportunity costs this set presents.
14 Strain
|
Strain Mod Set |

Set Bonus: Your Helminth Charger 🔥grows up to 2/4/6/8 Cysts over 6/12/18/2ꦺ4s that erupt every 25s to spawn a maggot. |

9 V(Madurai) |
Helminth Charger gains +30% Damage per Cyst |
Strain Infection(Melee) |
9 V(Madurai) |
Melee attacks gain +20% Critical Damage per Cyst |
Similar to Mecha, Strain is a strange Infested themed Mod set that relies on Cysts and the Helminth Charger, a unique Infested Kubrow. And just like the Mecha set, the benefits of using these Mods are minor at best. Increasing your critical damage and regaining HP from Cysts might be the strongest effects on here, yet only Cysts spawned from your Helminth Charger count towards this set. Any Cysts spawned from Nidus or the Pathocyst don't count, significantly limiting what this set is capable of. If you truly need an HP restore method, use the Martyr Symbiosis Mod on your favorite Vulpaphyla companion.
13 Nira

Nira's Contempt(Whips) |
9 V(Madurai) |
|
Nira's Hatred(Warframe) |
9 D(Vazarin) |
|
The Nira Mod set enhances the damage of Slam Attacks, arguably the least used aspect of melee weapons in Warframe. The damage bonus itself is quite large, yet the full set requires that you use a Whip for your melee weapon—an archetype that doesn't weave Slam Attacks with any combos.
For what it's worth, Nira's Contempt is a great Mod to pair with the new Verdilac Whip, available from Narmer Bounties once you complete The New War. Beyond that, these Mods struggle to compete with current offerings. Amar's Anguish is better than Nira's Anguish, and +15% Ability Duration is much less impactful than the Efficiency and Strength that Boreal and Amar give, respectively. Unless you plan to use the Verdilca, you're better off using other Mods. Do grab Nira's Hatred if you play a Warframe that needs as much Ability duration as possible.

Synth Mods grant holstered weapons passive reloading per second as a set bonus. While niche, this is a great way to bypass the long reload speed times of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:weapons like the Trumna or Quellor. The Mods themselves are also useful because Synth Fiber allows you to grab Health Orbs even when your HP is full. This opens up some interesting builds that utilize Equilibrium, Health Conversion, or any other Mods that rely on Hea💃lth Orbs. If you have a fe🤡w Mod slots left and want some utility in your build, the Synth set is a great choice.

Carnis grants status immunity and 30% evasion for six seconds with all three Mods installed. It's a solid set bonus that pairs nicely with an otherwise mediocre group of Mods. Increased Slash and status chance is niche but useful for weapons that don't want to dilute their pool of damage types for proccing status effects. Overall, the Carnis set is a solid set for weapons that focus on applying frequent Slash procs.

Saxum is a three-piece Mod set that turns lifted enemies into bombs when killed, dealing 30% of their total HP as Impact damage in a six-meter radius when slain. This set bonus is strong enough to warrant building around, yet the Mods themselves are less than stellar. Impact just isn't a good damage type, and Status Chance is easy to come by with the plethora of Status Chance Mods that exist for Primary and Secondary weapons. If you're going to use the Saxum set, only use it for the powerful on-kill set bonus.
