InWarframe, Focus Schools are Operator-based talent trees that provide significant buffs and additional mechanics to your standard Warframe’s playstyle. There are five different schools so here’s a breakdown of all five, and how they benefit you to invest into.
All Five Focus Schools in Warframe
The five Focus Schools inWarframeare all tied directly to your Operator, and provide meaningful buffs to both your Operator and Warframe alike. These areMadurai, Naramon, Zenurik, Unairu,andVazarin.While you may invest in all five, only one can be consideredActive, and only the active School will provide any benefits.
Madurai
The Madurai School is primarily focused on greatly empowering your Amps increasing their damage output and energy efficiency while allowing you to apply damage amplification buffs/debuffs to yourself and enemies around you. It is an offensive school meant for players interested in using their Operator as much as their Warframe, switching in and out of Warframe-to-Operator form like a dance.
The Key Focus nodes for Maduari areInner Gaze, Eternal Gaze, Power Transfer,andVoid Strike.
These four nodes highly emphasize the offensive-swap gameplay required to reap the benefits of Maduari and should be invested first and foremost.
Naramon
The Naramon School focuses heavily on improving the OffensiveMeleeandMobilitycapabilities of both your Warframe and Operator while offering some light crowd control as side helping. The tree significantly improves Finisher Damage while also making Combos last longer. Active abilities focus on Mobility and Crowd Control. For players interested close-quarter combats, Naramon is absolutely the best choice.
The Key Focus nodes of Naramon areOpening Slam, Power Spike, Sling Stun,andKiller’s Rush.
These nodes prioritize improving your Melee damage and emphasize the focus on getting up and personal with your foes. As such, they should be your priority if you choose to Focus on the Naramon school.
Zenurik
The Zenurik School focuses almost entirely on granting youconstant Energy Regenerationallowing you to use your Operator’s and Warframe abilities as you please. As a Utility-based school, it is meant to be played secondary to your standard Warframe gameplay and provides significant Energy to nearby allies as well.
The Key Focus nodes of Zenurik areEnergy Pulse,Wellspring, andHardened Wellspring.
These nodes support the heavy focus on Energy that Zenurik offers its followers. If you’re playing Warframes that want to use their abilities often, consider Zenurik as your school of choice.
Unairu
The Unairu School focuses on improving your Defensive capabilities while also providing several extremely powerful abilities that can easily be used to cripple heavily armored or shielded foes. As a Utility-based school, Unairu’s natural ability to deal with well-defended enemies allows followers of the tree to focus their weapons around other disciples rather than directly countering the enemies they face.
The Key Focus nodes of Unairu arePoise, Caustic Strike, Magnetic Flare,andStone Skin
These nodes heavily emphasize the value of choosing the Unairu School as your Focus. The versatility this school offers is unparalleled inWarframeand is a strong choice for those who desire not to have to build around the enemies they face, always having the answer to any problem in Operator form.
Vazarin
The Varazin School focuses on dramatically improving your healing and ability to support allies through Health Regeneration and Immunities. As a Support-focused school, Vazarin has little offensive capabilities and should be played only as necessary, when healing becomes a requirement, as it does not offer much beyond this scope.
The Key Focus nodes of Vazarin areVoid Regen, Squad Regen, Mending Unity, Guardian Shell,andProtective Sling
These nodes well-reflect the supportive nature of Vazarin Focus School and should prioritize first before taking anything else in the tree. If you’re a player who loves to support the team, consider investing in Vazarin.
