Tennos inWarframetravel the orbit using Landing Crafts designed with powerful abilities and features. These spaceships allow players to craft new weapons, purchase items from the market, and navigate the Origin System. Normally, players get the Liset Landing Craft by default, butthey can progress and level upto unlock better and more powerful spaceships.
TheWarframeLanding Craftshave a special Air Support ability that players can unlock. Air Support is a gear that lets Tenno call in support from their Landing Craft during missions. For instance, they can be used during Spy missions when players trigger alarms and need help hacking a system or acquiring codes before the timer runs out. Each Landing Craft has its own Air Support abilities, but they all provide unique support for players. Here areall seven Air Support charges inWarframeranked.
7Nightwave
Puts Enemies to Sleep
Nightwave is a device that, when deployed, puts enemies within a 10 m radius to sleep, allowing players to escape. Nightwave is one of the few Air Support charges inWarframeoffering little value during missions.
Although players rarely use it, obtaining Nightwave grants access tovarious in-game mods, cosmetics, and resources. So, while the Air Support charge may not help much during missions, getting the Nightwave Radio Station opens players up to more daily and weekly challenges.
6Scimitar
Deals 250 Impact Damage
Scimitar is a carpet bomb that, when deployed, deals 250 impact damage on enemies. This Air Support charge crashes all enemies on its path, ensuring players extract safely to their Landing Craft. Few players use Scimitar during missions since it doesn’t carry much value, especially for Tennos with a Mastery Rank and powerful weapons that annihilate opponents.
However, Scimitar can be useful in Defense missions, where players must defend an immobile targetfrom waves of enemies. If a player is on a solo Defense mission, they can deploy Scimitar to help defeat overwhelming waves of foes and secure victory.
5Xiphos
Extremely High Fire Rate
The Xiphos Air Support charge is a stationary Sentry Gun that, when deployed, fires at incoming and surrounding enemies. It’s quite useful for eliminating large waves of hostiles during solo or defense missions. Players can also use Xiphos to distract enemies while completing objectives, such as rescuing prisoners and extracting information.
The beauty of Xiphos is its extremely high fire rate that can oppress and overpower hordes of enemies. Xiphos has infinite ammo and will continue firing at enemies until a player or the foes destroy it with ammo. So, players don’t have to worry about running dry during the heat of a battle.
4Mantis
Heals Wounded Players
The Mantis Air Support charge is a gear that, when activated, heals Tenno for 100 health.Players inWarframecan respawn 5 times, and it normally takes an incredible amount of damage to deal damage to a player. However, in some cases, Tenno may need to increase their max health to complete a mission or objective, which is where Mantis comes in handy. This Med Tower can be activated 25 times during a single deployment, giving players more than enough chances to survive as long as needed.
The Mantis Air Support charge also doubles as a wall, preventing attacks from enemies, other Tennos, and gunfire. Players can stand beside the tower to protect themselves from incoming enemies and foes gearing up for an attack.
3Liset
Overrides Security and Disables Alarms
The default Landing Craft inWarframeis Liset, and its Air Support charge is to override security. Players in Spy and Rescue missions with countdowns can use the Liset Air Support charge to reset alarms and disable lockdowns and security cameras. The Liset Air Support also pauses any timers active in a mission, giving Tenno enough time to complete the objective and head to extraction safely.
Players who want to buy an extra few seconds andtake down enemiesduring a mission will find this Air Support crucial to completing a mission. The charge can only be deployed once during a mission, so it’s crucial to use it when needed most.
2Parallax
Highlights Valuable Resources and Deposits
Warframehas various hidden resources and treasuresfor players to find, and most of these are required to craft blueprints and segments in the Foundry on the Landing Craft. With the Parallax Air Support charge, players can quickly discover rare deposits and treasures within a 150m radius.
When deployed, the Orokin Eye will highlight Syndicate Medallions, Ayatan Treasures, Somachords, Cephalon Fragments, Frame Fighters, and more. Head to the specified locations to add the hidden treasures to the inventory for later use. Players can collect as many resources and treasures as possible since Warframe has no inventory limit.
1Skaut
Summons Powerful Allies to Help
Skaut is one of the most valuable Air Support charges inWarframe, as it summons powerful allies to help Tenno during a mission. When deployed, the Air Support activates the Kahl Beacon that calls in Kahl and his 2 brothers - Corpus Tech and Tusk Hellions to defend against enemies. Kahl and his allies will help players for five minutes before departing, which is enough time to defend an objective inWarframe.
If other players deploy additional Air Support when Kahl is active, health increases. Players also get an additional ally every time they use the air support charge, so there may be more than three allies helping during a mission. The allies are equipped with powerful weapons that quickly take down enemies, allowing players to focus on hacking, rescuing, or collecting valuable information.
