Mag Build

Mag, one of the starters Warframe you would see when you enter into the game. The monarch of the Magnetic field who have the ability to control the battlefield and can crush her enemies. Her passive is Magnetic Attraction. It’s quite fascinating to see how she pulls the nearby items towards her whenever her bullet jumps. She is one of the most used warframe once, we have to accept the fact that she not used now in the meta-phase. But she is still worth and is super fun to play.

Mag Special Abilities

Pull – As she is a master of Magnetic field, she creates a magnetic pull that drags the enemies towards her and deals with the damage output. If you use this ability after casting Magnetize then the damage caused will be doubled. The enemies who are under the area of effect of pull will be stunned. If they die or able to survive then the change of dropping an energy orb will be increased.

Magnetize - With this ability she creates a magnetic field around a targeted enemy making him as the center of the field, immobilizing him and dragging the nearby enemies towards the center. As a result, all the bullets and projectiles fired near the area of effect of this ability will get redirected to the center, thereby causing amplified damage. If the targeted enemy dies then the field will explode and all the enemies around the field will deal with the damage. The damage created by the field explosion is based on the damage it absorbed. You can only use 4 magnetic fields at a time. Making a new field after that will destroy the oldest field.

Polarize – She creates a magnetic pulse. This ability will affect the enemies with shield or armor. When an enemy with a shield or armor comes in contact with the Polarize ability, their shield will take damage and their armor will be reduced and damaged. Enemies who have depleted shields or no armor will not be affected by this ability. Enemies who are affected by the pulse will also drop shards. When these shards are paired with magnetize, they also cause some damage to the enemies. 

Crush – This is quite an impressive ability of Mag. She will magnetize the bones of the enemies around her and suspend them in mid-air, then will cause the magnetic damage by crushing them. Sound so psychic right. But, it's cool. The damage will increase if the target is magnetized already. This also restores energy to the shields of allies and increase them over their limit thereby creating an overshields. ​

Best Mag Builds

Creating a Mag Build is really a big deal, as you need to deal with a lot of energy. It’s like you have to use the aura mods like Energy Siphon for extra energy regeneration. The energy pool is pretty low in Mag and hence getting her with Primed Flow is also important. It is likely to invest some more forma to balance the mod capacity for every Mag build you would create.

The Strength ability mods affect damage created by the crush, polarize and pull. The damage that is inflicted with magnetize will also increase by using such mods. It also affects the amount of Armor and shield restored by Polarize and Crush. The Range ability mods will increase the range and radius of area of effect. Taking all this consideration we suggest you the best Mag builds that will make your game even more fun.
