Summary
Warframehas tons of different weapons and ‘frames for players to use, leading to a mechanic and combat system that is diverse and accessible to most people. Over time, the game has seen updates that have brought in new ways to make Warframes stronger andmore competitive in the PVP mode.
Amps are special weapons that can be used to enhance the combat capability of the Warframe they’re equipped to. They have three components: thePrism,Scaffold, andBrace. When these are created,Warframeplayers can name their amps and even customize their colors and features. Some amps are better than others, but all of them are worth equipping to make Warframes stronger than ever.
Updated on Jul 06, 2025, by Rhenn Taguiam:With August 2024 seeing the release of Sevagoth Prime Access among the more recent of Warframe’s DLCs, fans who want to enjoy their Warframe experience beyond this shadow user might want to consider looking into the game’s selection of Amps for more action-packed gameplay. As Amps take Operators away from their Warframes, fans might be intrigued to see just which of these Amps works best for their setups - with some recommendations allowing beginners to dish out heavy damage on the outset, or some kits preparing players for more high-stakes playstyles in the long run. Some suggested Amp loadouts include straightforward shooting Amps, a beginner-friendly Amp, a slow-firing kit, and a long-ranged burst-fire Amp.
Brace
Lohrin Brace (+12% Amp Critical Chance, Status Chance)
When it comes to players who have just begun their journey wielding Amps, it’s likely that they might not have immediate access to more potent components. In this regard, the123: The Beginner’s Gamblecan make for a solid choice. Its parts make full use of what Amps have to offer in a “basic” sense before players start tinkering with components for builds they can become more comfortable with.
The Raplak Prism is a long-ranged semi-auto firing mode with a precision hit-scan, perfect for individual targeting. When fighting clusters of opponents, the Shraksun Scaffold is effective in dealing a ton of AOE damage. Lastly, the crit boost afforded by the Lohrin Brace can make for more efficient early-game plays, especially with the DPS boost.
Certus Brace (+20% Amp Critical Chance)
Fans enjoying theirWarframegameplay might appreciate an Amp that can just get them through a mob as fast as possible. This is where427: Nothing Fancy, Just Shootingcomes in. As the name implies, this Amp is built to be as simple and effective as possible. It’s a general-purpose, rapid-firing Amp with some crit potential. No fancy dynamics and interactions, just a player with an Amp who can use it to burst their way through enemies.
This isn’t to say 4-2-7 is useless. Its Rahn Prism ensures that players are able to fire at their opponents at a decent distance, with an alternate flak grenade via the Shraksun Scaffold should enemies start to surround them. The additional crit chance from Certus Brace can build decent DPS. In the context of Amps, 4-2-7 is quite a straightforward unit. While there are certainly more effective general-purpose Amps out there, 4-2-7 can take the cake for being straightforward in the early game.
Plaga Brace (-20 Amp Energy Pool, -1.5s Amp Charge Delay)
Players who want a heavy-hitting Amp intheir fast-pacedWarframegameplaywill definitely appreciate the potential of the746: Slow But Steady Firing. At its essence, the 7-4-6 makes full use of the Klamora Prism - essentially a short-ranged beam with a wide angle - which pairs its massive damage with a rather massive energy cost. However, using a Plaga Brace can circumvent the waiting time for the energy recharge, allowing the Klamora to hit more frequently compared to a 7-x-7, where a Certus Brace crit might be rendered not as helpful with the firing delay.
As the 7-4-6 is much slower in general firefights, players will have to rely on the Phahd Scaffold for secondary firing. Despite these setbacks, however, the overall performance of the 7-4-6 is fairly decent in most situations. The Klamora is extremely useful when damaging Eidolons and Angels, while the Phahd can be reserved to fight everything else.
While the 7-7-7 continues to dominate the meta when it comes toWarframegameplay Amps, fans might not appreciate the kit’s need to stay in close-to-mid-range when engaging opponents. This is where the577: Burst-Fire Long-Rangedcomes in as a decent alternative. At its core, what benefits the Certus Brace provides in terms of crit chance and the Propa Scaffold gives in the form of a secondary explosive, the Cantic Prism augments with heavy-hitting burst-fire.
With the Cantic Prism, players now get a primary fire mode consisting of a three-shot burst. This is precise and fast-paced, allowing them to target enemies from afar and reposition when needed or even whip out a quick Propa to delay them as they reposition.
Warframeplayers don’t always get to encounter Sentients, buttheir adaptive nature makes them extremely annoyingfor warriors who fight with certain status types. With the527: Anti-Sentinelkit, players can outpace Sentients in their resistance adaptability by gunning them faster than they can counter.
The main part of this Anti-Sentient Kit is the Cantic Prism and its three-shot burst capability, which at high levels can eliminate Sentients with ease. The next component is the semi-auto Shraksun Scaffold, whose explosive ordinances have AOE and can bypass status chances. Lastly, the Certus Brace boosts the critical chance of all the Amp’s firing modes.
Clapkra Brace (+40 Amp Energy Pool)
After players access their first Mote Amp, this111: Beginner RepulsionAmp setup makes for an accessible newcomer kit when interacting with the Quills. The easy-build nature of the 1-1-1 kit extends to its ease of controls, offering a quick-shot main firing mode and a charged shot secondary mode. Despite its inclination to fit beginners, this 1-1-1 kit can help players last through the mid-game until gamers earn more components for a better build.
To acquire this powerfulWarframesetup, players can rely on the high-range and high-crit semi-auto Raplak Prism paired with the charged single-shot capabilities of the Pencha Scaffold. Capping this kit is the Clapkra Brace, which can boost the max energy of the Amp by 40.
Anspatha Brace (+20 Amp Energy Pool, +15/s Energy Recharge Rate)
Players enjoying theirWarframecombatwho want to get as many Credits as possible can consider selling high-powered Riven Mods as an easy way to make a profit. But in order to get enough Riven Mods, players need to defeat Kuva Siphons located in Kuva Clouds. Theoretically, all Amps can help players push through their Kuva pursuits, but the Riven Cash Flow boosts the player’s defenses when facing more powerful Kuva Guardians and Kuva Jesters that accompany Siphons.
Integral to this664: Riven Cash Flowkit are the Lega Prism and Dissic Scaffold, both of which can dish out heavy AOE damage through beams and cluster bombs, respectively. Meanwhile, capping the kit is the Anspatha Brace that gives +20 Amp Max Energy and +15% Amp and Operator Energy Regeneration. When used correctly, the two weapons should be able to clear mobs fast enough before they get to overwhelm players with their numbers.
Gamers who want to goall out in theirWarframegameplaymay want a straightforward Amp that contributes to their overall DPS. This is what Raw Damage Numbers does, as this377: Raw Damage Numberskit capitalizes on crowd control and raw damage potential to increase the player’s damage output without making combat complicated.
Key to the setup is the Granmu Prism and Propa Scaffold, both grenades with large AOEs with a three-shot and single-shot component, respectively. Capping this setup is the Cetus Brace, which gives a 20% Critical Chance boost to both firing modes of the Amp. When used properly, the two weapons should provide a steady damage stream and leave it to the player’s Operator to inflict status effects.
Juttni Brace (-1s Amp Recharge Delay)
Those looking to take care of Vomvalysts with ease should consider checking out the332: Solid Low-Level Eidolon ChoiceAmp combination. The Granmu Prism is ideal for making short work of waves of foes. It does less damage on impact but adds splash damage to the mix,allowing players to cleave through hordesso long as shots are semi-on-target. The Kelbrik Scaffold will helpWarframeplayers completely decimate enemies thanks to its auto-targeting beam. It will even hit foes that are behind cover, and it manages to proc critical and status effects often.
This build is rounded out with the Juttni, which helps to reduce the AMP recharge delay (by 1 second). One second may not seem like a heavy boost, but dedicated players will likely see the difference.
A112: For Very Early PlayersAmp combination is suited for very early-game players who want a refined version of the 1-1-1, the first amp combination offered in the game. To form the 1-1-2 amp combination, players will need to combine the components Raplak Prism, Pencha Scaffold, and Juttni Brace.
This amp combination combines semi-auto, long-range combat with a charged beam and -1 Amp Charge Delay. Players should look to change this option to a better amp combination as soon as possible; however, when not faced with many choices, the 1-1-2 will suffice, even onthe most complicated Warframesin the game.
