When I first tried Nokko from the current update in Warframe, I was a little underwhelmed. Usually, the playstyles come to me instantly, but Nokko took some time to understand. He was originally someone I was afraid I wouldn’t enjoy, but I am having a lot of fun with this guy (pun intended). He may not seem like much at first, but his kit is crazy overpowered and can clear Steel Path missions with little effort involved. But before we dive into why that is, let us go over our recommended build for him!
Recommended Build for Nokko
Below will be our build for Nokko in Warframe. You will need 2 forma for this build:

Going all in on Power Strength and range, this build clears in Steel Path. Efficiency is low, and duration is not fully maxed out. But having Molt Efficiency there helps to keep the mushrooms in place as long as possible without sacrificing power and range. Considering the lack of efficiency, both Dreamer’s Bond and Arcane Energize help alleviate the lack of energy recovery if you forget to cast Blightbonnet.
Below will be our recommended Archon Shard placements:

Obviously, you can change these out for what you prefer, but more power duration and strength coupled with more toxin status effect damage, felt essential in endgame activities.
Nokko Warframe Review
As mentioned previously, Nokko will feel underwhelming at first. But after getting all the right mods placed in, he’s incredibly strong. He is very reliant on his fourth ability as the main damage dealer. But his first two abilities help lock down an area, and his third ability gives him survivability. The main thing that caught me off guard was his passive allowing for constant self-revives. When you go down, you turn into a small, cute mushroom and have to reach a mushroom to self-res. It is an excellent synergy and makes Nokko very endgame viable. He is very much worth spending the time playing the bounties to earn in-game.
