When Digital Extremes revealed the newest warframes, Sirius & Orion, they definitely went whole hog with the approach. As someone who really enjoys Equinox, seeing a different take on a “2-in-1” warframe was exciting. Little did I know that it would be chaotic and, admittedly, fun. But the catch with these 2 is that you will need to build them separately. They function solely on their own stats for their own abilities. Below will be the builds I landed on for them!
Recommended Builds for Sirius & Orion
Below will be the build I landed for Sirius:
And the one below will be for Orion. Both builds require 0 forma:
Let’s start with Sirius. Going for a pure range and duration build works wonders with his abilities. Sirius is going to be used more for his healing circle and the fiery orbs you can summon above him. He and Orion’s first ability, I didn’t get much use out of, however. Both the orbs and healing circle benefit greatly from this combat; do not stress over the power strength with him, keeping it in the positive is good enough. Arcane Energize is a good pick to ensure you and your allies are capped off on energy.
Now for Orion. Orion is suited best for power strength on the flipside of Sirius. His third ability works well with the power strength boost, and you will always want to be Orion when you activate the ultimate to max out the damage output. Molt Augmented for Orion is a must, as he will need all the power strength he can get. Molt Efficiency for both Siurs & Orion gives them enough duration to keep their abilities going for as long as possible.
Now, for the Archon Shards I picked out for them. These are purely for flavor and can be swapped out to suit your playstyles in Warframe:
I also recommend going Unairu for their focus school. This ensures you can strip enemy armor and shields for better damage output.
Sirius & Orion Review in Warframe
Sirius & Orion are going to be initially very confusing to use, trust me. But after you get into the swing of things with them? They are a ton of fun. As previously mentioned, their first ability, I did not get a whole lot of use out of. If you want to subsume that with the usual Nourish or Roar, feel free. But Sirius & Orion are the most intricate frames in Warframe to use. The number of use cases for them both makes them very versatile. Whether you are in extermination, mobile defense, or any other activity. You should absolutely grind for these two. Their parts are very easy to get out of the new activities.
