I can only tell you from my experience of playing her (4 stars so far, one of my most favorite frames). I normally use molt and miasma with her, as contagion and venom never truly stuck with me and believe me when I say I've tried to like them.

Saryn can be used as an offensive-tank warframe, much like Rhino, but you need to know what you're doing. Rhino players slap on iron skin and wade through the battlefield without taking damage, on low level areas. On high level areas, they still use iron skin but only as a "mistake shield" - meaning if they lean a bit too far out of their cover and get shot, the iron skin will protect them from that, but not from going in guns-a-blazing like an idiot.

The cool thing about Saryn's molt is that it affects enemies no matter the level. It doesn't last very long against higher leveled enemies, but it'll catch their attention all the same. Pop it in and it'll give you those precious few seconds to get out of the way, find some cover, and waste your enemies to finger paint. Molt will explode after taking enough punishment, damaging nearby enemies, so that's a nice touch.

Miasma has been hailed as one of the most powerful ultimates in the game. The range is not very good, but a stretch mod will help alleviate that problem. It deals damage over time, which is fine but I want my enemies dead as fast as possible, so I slapped in some (-) power duration mods. The shorter the duration, the more damage the ticks. Regardless of the duration, however, the damage remains the same, leading up to its final bit of damage, so don't get this mixed up with increased damage.

She has high maximum health, so the more hp mods, the better. I gave her as much health and shields as I possibly could because I tend to make some very stupid mistakes during missions and I need a lot of protection to keep from dying.

Overall, Saryn is a wonderful frame. She has a lot of armor, which you can increase further with steel fiber (I never did, but you can if you want). She starts off with a "D" aura polarity, which is perfect for a regeneration mod, further increasing her survivability rate. My Saryn has over 1k hp, which is nice for higher tier missions where enemies drop your shields from 100% to nothing in mere seconds.
