This frame's playstyle and me never got along. Octavia is one of the rare "get to 30 and shelve forever" frames, doesn't matter how broken her kit is, her optimal gameplay is absolutely abysmal. Staring at buff numbers and then refreshing them/spamming crouch when they expire while watching enemies kill themselves is not why I play Warframe. She's also one of the few frames with a feature so annoying it gets its own option in the settings menu to silence it.

MODERATORS
Octavia is very strong, insanely strong. But also so very annoying (and sometimes boring) to play. Throw down the mallet and amp, press 3, spam crouch, throw something onto 2nd monitor and just spam crouch and refresh the abilities every now and then.
Though I have to thank her for being able to carry me through an otherwise awful EDA rotation.
Octavia upsets me. Her mandachord instruments cost way too much plat and don't have enough notes.
she's really strong though.
I want to buy up some of the instruments for more variety in song options, but I just can't justify spending that much plat.
Love Octavia, mostly because I can run through missions Rick-Rolling people. Not always the most engaging gameplay mechanics wise, but definitely fun.
Great frame but damn if she hasn't consistently thrown all balance out the window since her introduction, even when DE are introducing anti-nuke mechanics and bosses with giant nullifier shields those mechanics somehow often manage to completely fail to apply to octavia herself.
Probably one of the harder warframes to farm because a blueprint is on a Rotation C mission. If you see her as a reward for the Duviri Circuit it can save you a lot of bad RNG trying to get her Neuroptics from a Survival mission.
Her abilities make most difficult missions doable even while solo, and my favourite use for her is to use Mallet to quickly spawn a Sister of Parvos. Her kit is pretty versatile giving mild CC, damage, invisibility, and even energy regeneration which can also be granted from Octavia Specters.
Unfortunately I have absolutely zero idea how to use metronome
Metronome involves doing things to the beat of the song you're using on your mandachord. Everything is doing things to the beat. There's a flower pattern you can use for your mandachord that makes it incredibly easy to just spam crouch to stealth.
Yes I know I have to do things to the beat, I just don't know how. It seems impossible.
Just spam crouch and you'll stealth. The other ones are just nice bonuses if they show up, but stealth is the important one.
The pillow princess frame. Not my style, I'd rather actually play the game, but I can see the appeal.
