This is a general guide to playing Nekros, a Warframe I had to learn to love.

Nekros is often considered a very boring Warframe to play, and yet he's also one of the most commonly-used. This is because his ability, Desecrate, gives you a second chance at spawning loot drops from dead enemies&mdash;considered essential by most in long Survival missions for the extra Life Support drops and highly desired in any resource farming excursions that players might host. This means that more often than not, there's someone in an endless mission just spamming Desecrate and running around while his or her teammates actually kill things.

Seriously, look at these graphs of data officially collected between Jan 25, 2015 and Feb 07, 2015 and displayed at this official warframe blog post. Desecrate is the most often-used ability despite Nekros being the 11th-most actively-played Warframe.



That being said, I find that Nekros's toolkit provides a full complement of useful abilities that offer up opportunities to eke out clutch performance. People will applaud you for your skillful display, not just thank you for being their Santa Claus.

Though, really, you are still there to be Santa Claus.

Abilities Synopsis
We're starting with Desecrate because it's the reason you were invited to the party (unless you're like me and actually play him because you enjoy it). It's important to know the ins-and-outs of this ability because you're going to suck yourself dry or let yourself die if you are casting it at the wrong time.

At rank 3, your Desecrate has a 60% chance to make nearby corpses spawn a health orb. If it does, only then does it have an additional 90% chance to reroll its loot table. These numbers do not increase or decrease with Power Strength.



This means that if you take a freshly-killed corpse, you have only a 54% chance on Desecrate to actually get the loot out of it.
