Warframe: Ambassador build guide

Ambassador is a corpus assault rifle that was introduced in Warframe back in 2021 as part of the Sisters of Parvos update. At the time, this weapon was outshone by the new Tenet and Kuva weapons. However, years after being neglected, it is finally getting a rework. The details are yet to be revealed, but now may be a good time to pick up the weapon if you don’t have one.

This guide will teach you about the best build and Warframe you can currently use this weapon with.

Warframe Ambassador stats and Unique Trait

Ambassador is an assault rifle that deals Electricity damage. The weapon boasts a very good status chance and critical multiplier, but lacks critical chance. If you like holding down the trigger, this weapon won’t disappoint you with its 96 ammo magazines.

The Unique Trait for the weapon is an alternative fire mode that turns the weapon into a charged shot sniper. This charged shot also deals respectable AoE damage, which can be further scaled with mods.

Fire Rate: 13.33
Magazine Size: 96
Reload Time: 2.6 Seconds
Crit Chance: 14%
Crit Multiplier: 2.80x
Status Chance: 26%
Uncharged Damage: 24 (100% Electric)
Charged Damage: 600 (100% Electric)
Radial Attack: 800 (100% Electric)
Riven Disposition: 1.15

Best endgame Ambassador build in Warframe

Since the weapon only comes with an Exilus polarity, you’ll need to use multiple Formas. The whole idea is to lure enemies into a narrow doorway and spam the primary fire. If you want to use alternate fire, pick either Nidus or Zephyr with Augment Mods to increase crit rate.

Ambassador is currently in a very tight spot. It features a guaranteed electrical status effect that can be used to create other elemental reactions. However, the low crit chance and base damage are arguably holding the weapon back.

The alternative fire is something to look at, as it can be used as a nuke build after grouping enemies. However, despite a big magazine size of 96, you can currently only shoot the alternative fire twice.

Warframe Ambassador mod setup (5-Forma)

Mod/Arcane	Polarity	Description
Primary Merciless	Arcane Slot	On each Kill, this arcane boost damage to keep the ball rolling.
Rifle Ammo Mutation	Aura Slot Already comes with Naramon	Great for getting extra ammo.
Galvanized Chamber	Madurai (V Polarity)	Increase Multishot with each kill.
Galvanized Aptitude	Vazarin (D Polarity)	Increases status chance along with direct damage per status chance on the enemy.
Critical Delay	Naramon (Dash Polarity)	Counter the low base critical rate.
Vital Sense	Madurai (V Polarity)	Increases critical damage so when you crit, this mod makes it count.
Primed Cryo Rounds	Vazarin (D Polarity)	Flat cold damage to counter low base damage and create new status effect.
Malignant Force	No Forma Required	Increases status chance and combines with cold to create viral status.
Hammer Shot	No Forma Required	More status and critical damage for the weapon.
Rime Rounds	No Forma Required	Extra cold and status damage to boss viral and ensure status application.

You can use the weapon in Steel Path missions, but there are several better options. If you happen to have a Riven Mod, do make use of it, as the weapon does have a good disposition.

Best Warframe to use with Ambassador

While the Ambassador’s normal fire acts as a regular assault rifle, the charge shot can deal good damage if the enemies are grouped up. Hence, pick up a frame that can easily group up enemies.

Zephyr: Using Zephyr’s airburst can be a good way to group enemies. Suspend them up with tornado before firing to spread damage across all enemies.
Vauban: Vauban is the best option for one-click grouping and nuking with secondary fire.
Nidus: Use the tentacles to group enemies. Using Teeming Virulence is a great option to increase the crit chance of the weapon.
Gauss: To use Gauss, you will need a build with Mach Crash to group enemies.

How to get Ambassador in Warframe

To acquire Ambassador, you’ll first need to acquire blueprints for the individual parts. These parts can then be crafted and used with the weapon’s blueprint to acquire the complete weapon.

Here’s how you can acquire the required blueprints

Ambassador Blueprint: Rotation C of Railjack Survival Missions (Neptune, Venus, Pluto, Veil)
Ambassador Barrel/Stock/Receiver: Aurax Atloc Raknoid or Narmer Raknoid (5% Drop Chance)

All the blueprints for Ambassador can be acquired through trading with other players. Alternatively, the weapon is also available in the store for 225 Platinum.
