How to kill 20 enemies in 5 seconds easily in Warframe

To get 20 kills in 5 seconds, you have to use a setup that prioritizes AoE damage. It does not matter if your source of damage com♔es from weapons or Warframe abilities. If you can do both, even better. 

Here are some Warframes that excel at completing this objective wi🐼th ease. We’ll briefly explain what ability you should use and what you should prioritize in these builds.

Ember – Inferno

  • Prioritize ability strength, range, and efficiency. Spam her Inferno once you start seeing a bunch of enemies in line of sight. 

Frost – Avalanche

  • Prioritize ability strength, range, and efficiency. Spam Avalanche once a bunch of enemies swarm you. Line of sight isn’t needed.

Mirage – Hall of Mirrors and Eclipse

  • Build Mirage with a lot of duration and power strength. Use the damage buff for Eclipse. Equip an AoE weapon like a launcher or a weapon with punch-through. Make sure you have mods like Primed Sure Footed, Cautious Shot, or Power Drift to prevent staggering.

Oberon – Reckoning

  • Prioritize ability strength, range, and efficiency. Spam his Reckoning when you see a bunch of enemies. Line of sight isn’t needed.

Saryn – Spores and Miasma

  • Prioritize range, duration, and strength. Spores will act as a good indicator of how many enemies you will kill once you cast Miasma. Once you have close to 20, cast Miasma and kill any remaining enemies after casting it to get enough kills within the 5 seconds hopefully.

Volt – Discharge

  • Prioritize ability damage, range, and efficiency. Spam his Discharge when a bunch of enemies are nearby, chaining the lightning between each other.
