Yareli my beloved, one of the high femme frames in terms of design, maybe even the highest. The frame that got me back into Warframe and in fact turned me into a Warframe main. Stop delaying Yareli prime, please!!!

With Loyal Merulina, she finally has easy level cap potential and access to her full arsenal. Like Nezha, she has a kit that naturally lends itself to both wide-range nuking and single target priority killing. Contrasting to Nezha, she’s much more oriented to crowd control, including being able to animation lock CC-resistant enemies with Loyal Merulina and max efficiency ;)

With a large natural shield pool, she can very easily reach 2.5s shield gate, or close to it, with minimal effort and no shard investment. I use this for my level cap oriented Pillage build. The lack of reliance on shards also gives her an offensive edge over Nezha if you choose to invest in her abilities as an “assassin” or priority killer.

As a priority killer and Influence nuker, she has some powerful interactions with Xata’s Whisper, especially with Cascadia Accuracy/Secondary Deadhead, Acuity and Worthy Comradery all scaling Xata’s damage unusually highly. Spreading bubbles benefits Influence through multidip, and Riptide has obvious synergies with Influence.

I generally run Furax Wraith Incarnon on Yareli since it’s an extremely powerful heavy slam and light attack Influence nuker, and Amalgam Body Count naturally fits Yareli’s focus on murdering things with her pistols. I do have a Praedos loadout specifically for Archon hunting too.

Speaking of pistols, what do I personally recommend?

• Akarius Prime: the generalist secondaries. Good crit stats (finally) so they’re versatile crowd clearers, Acolyte killers, object breakers (snow globes, breakable boss parts); they have innate Blast and high status chance.
• Atomos incarnon: Akarius Prime with an Incarnon battery, but in exchange you can basically use this as your only weapon and leave your primary for utility. Hits like a truck, high overall hybrid stats.
• Gaze secondary: Deadhead + Seeker, extravagantly high crit tiers. I use this alongside a glaive for Mark of the Beast builds. Prior to the incarnon update Gaze was my main pistol.
• Sporelacer: I think this has fallen off compared to other radial weapons, but if you’re early into SP or pre-SP, this is a deadly weapon, and the best radial battery weapon.
• Laetum: The crit build used to be close to the status build in performance, but I believe it could actually be stronger now due to Comradery and Acuity. Has a few fun paths like Shiver or Blast + Deadhead.
• Furis Incarnon: the pistol incarnon of all time. Cranks Yareli’s assassin abilities to the max. Has nice synergies with Influence weapons since they provide it with electric procs.
• Prisma Angstrum: native blast on the non-incarnon means it actually charges twice for each enemy hit by their own blast procs. Shoot it into a riptide for an instant charge.
• Grimoire: like the Angstrum, charges rapidly with Blast builds. Hits like a truck with Surge builds due to Yareli’s extravagant energy pool. Rounds out her support kit with some new toys too.
• Vermislicer secondary: if you combine this with the Scourge so it can actually headshot, it’ll really tickle some brains. Low KPM but exhilirating damage if you’re pre-incarnon.
