Warframes are the name of the exoskeletons utilized by the Tenno. They protect the wearer with regenerating shields while allowing him or her to use special abilities such as faster movement speed, higher jumping heights or control over elemental forces.
Warframes are dynamic and do not adhere to a single archetype, allowing them to be tailored to any style of combat. Though there are some Warframes that excel in certain situations, they are not necessarily limited to any particular role.
The extent to which a Warframe may be customized is primarily determined by the configuration of its modules, which may be installed to upgrade certain Warframe Attributes and even alter their abilities. Further bonuses can be achieved by equipping add-ons, such as various Helmets.
Every Warframe features four unique powers that allow for a large degree of control over the surrounding environment. These powers can allow a Tenno to cast virtually anything, ranging from devastating waves of energies to defensive barriers, or even mass healing. Warframes greatly augment the physical abilities of a Tenno as well, affecting natural skills like swordsmanship, marksmanship and most notably acrobatics.
It's said that, for the Tenno, the Tenno doesn't just choose their Warframe, the Warframe also choose the Tenno, and as such, Tenno seem to have great affinity to their chosen Warframe class. This doesn't prevent Tenno from using multiple different Warframes for different situations, however.
There are many different base classes of Warframe, as well as customized and/or hybrid Warframes. There are also 'Prime' counterparts to each Warframe, which are Warframes with integrated Orokin Technology.
