I recommand this warframe for every starter. Useful in all situations and pretty much fun to play. It's a non brainer frame that won't require much of a genius build to be effective.

1) Grab a melee weapon having a high charge dmg like the Gram/Scindo/Fragor to boost your 1st skill (as its damage is based on the weapon's charge dmg)

2) Use the guns u like, it does not matter so much as long as u keep one for long mid-long range and one for mid-close (ie: Strun and Aklato)

3) Don't stack Armor mods, they're not as much useful as Shield ones

eg: - 50 base Armor +50% = 75 armor  => u can resist a bit more before death

- 150 base Shield + 50 = 200 Shield  => u can resist a bit more too BUT your Shield regens very fast, unlike your HP remaining the same after being damaged (needs Health orbs to restore)

You can find some pretty much accurate calculations on warframe's official forums made by guys who know what they're talking about (not me).

That's it, have fun.
