Myself (trinity) and 2 friends (mirrage and excal) went in to draco and stephano for some testing.

First thing we compared > different sources of light and possible varied affects of the eclipse buff. Results: According to WF builder, a full power strength build mirrage should give +568% dmg buff. The % shown on the UI buff display said +36%  however...it showed that same +36% in several different intensities of light sources. so Eclipse works as either light or dark, no variations of buff % based on how bright the light is.

Second thing we tested > does it apply to warframe abilities or just weapons? Results : yes, it applies to warframe abilities (note: we only tried it with excal radial javelin, if you would like to do further testing with a non-melee/physical dmg AEer...like frost, ember, sayrn, I would welcome the added test info) that being said, it does give Radial Javelin a dmg boost. versus wave 1 grineer on draco, without Total Eclipse up, Jav was doing 1.7k to 2.3k as notable high values. With Total Eclipse up, Jav was doing 3.6k to 4.1k notable high values.

While these values are nice, they are very, very far from the purported +568% that it says it gives. The mirrage noted that his weapon dmg seemed like it was doing around x5 times more dmg, and that the Javs were doing more like x2 or x3 more dmg. Futher testing is required.

Since the UI buff display seems to be......questionable in terms of reliability, I can't tell you how much % Total Eclipse is actually giving to warframe abilities. only that it does buff them *at least radial jav* and that the amount of light you stand in does not matter, just that you are standing in light and you have the visual "Light" buff on your frame.

Hope this helps

SINcerely,
