Understand Rhino
Useful when…
- Staying in a fight while Iron Skin protects Rhino and grants Overguard.
- Increasing nearby Warframes’ damage for a short time with Roar.
- Disrupting enemies with Rhino Stomp or charging through targets with Rhino Charge.
What Rhino’s abilities do
Rhino Charge sends him toward a target, hitting enemies in his path and goring its victim. Iron Skin hardens him against all damage and grants Overguard. Roar increases damage for nearby Warframes for a short duration. Rhino Stomp tumbles enemies around him into stasis. His passive emits a shockwave after a high landing; its damage is unspecified here.
When to use him
Choose Rhino when your plan benefits from personal protection, a nearby damage increase, or an ability that disrupts enemies. The kit supports both solo durability and team-facing damage support, while Charge and Stomp give him ways to affect enemies directly. His listed base stats are 270 Health, 455 Shield, and 240 Armor.
Build considerations
Rhino has two Vazarin mod polarities and a Madurai aura polarity, which can help when fitting mods that match those polarities. The data provides no upgrade tracks or ability scaling details, so specific mod choices and investment priorities depend on the build. His listed rank cap is 30.
Limitations and alternatives
Roar’s listed benefit is limited to nearby Warframes and lasts a short duration, so allies must be in range when it is used. Rhino Prime keeps the same listed abilities and has 290 Armor plus one additional Naramon polarity; it may suit a player who values that stat and polarity difference. Nidus and Gyre are other candidates with distinct listed stat profiles and descriptions, not direct replacements for Rhino’s specific kit.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The kit combines protection, team damage support, and crowd control, but the listed ability descriptions do not provide numerical values or durations.
- Roar benefits nearby Warframes for a short duration, making its value dependent on ally proximity and timing.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting Roar to benefit Warframes outside its nearby area or after its short duration ends.
- Treating the passive landing shockwave as a quantified damage source; no damage value is provided.
