A simple list of Warframes that most teams look for when forming a Raid squad for the Law of Retribution Trial, and which abilities you should focus on to make the most out of your role.
Some are required, some are just nice for support, some are completely useless. Choose wisely!
Essential Warframes
When recruiting for a Raid squad, some Warframes get priority.
This list includes the abilities they are required for and general tips on how to mod and play them.

role:
- she's the most reliable source of energy for the whole squad.
- follow the bomb carrier and spam on every enemy you see.

other:
- best way to reach 2hp is launching an explosive Glaive Prime or Kestrel on the floor close to yourself. (click[warframe-builder.com] for build)
- do not use Vitality, or the damage from a single throw won't be enough.

General Loadout Tips
Aura mods
- Most squads equip 4 Corrosive Projections.
- The remaining can be a mix of Energy Syphon and Enemy Radar.
- DO NOT equip Rejuvenation if there's a Blessing Trinity in your team.
Weapon Elemental Damage
- Viral and Radioactive damage are best on the weapon you use to kill normal enemies, if four Corrosive Projections are equipped.
- Vay Hek is weak to Corrosive, while Radioactive proc keeps him quiet when he's invulnerable.
Team Restores and Ciphers
- Equip in your gear inventory lots of Large Energy Restores and Heal Restores.
- Shield ones are also good to give your whole team Overshield.
- Assign a hotkey to each object to deploy it faster.
- Ciphers are really useful in normal mode, but they can't be used in nightmare.
Companions
- Shade Sentinel makes you invisible, but only if you are really close to an enemy.
- Huras Kubrow has the same ability with bigger range, but has the bad habit of dying from enviromental hazards.
- Other companions don't have really useful abilities, but feel free to take them anyway.
