Shade/Main

Shade is a stealth Sentinel pre-equipped with the Burst Laser as its default weapon and has the ability to cloak the player with its precept.

Tips

 * only activates if an enemy is in the activation radius sphere for the cloak, and Shade's view of the enemy is not obstructed by nearby objects.
 * The cloaking can last indefinitely as long as an enemy is inside the activation radius.
 * Activation is not dependent on the direction that Shade is facing. Warframe abilities will not bring you out of stealth and you will remain hidden, as long as another enemy is close by.
 * Note that infested Volatile Runners will still explode when you are next to them.
 * Enemies such as Leapers, Rollers, or Ancients that have activated their attacks – e.g. a Leaper getting ready to charge – will still hit you after you cloak if you do not move out of the way.
 * On infested levels, take care around Runners as the explosion could knock you out of cloaking range.
 * Consider Shade when choosing to be a support for your team, as running up to downed players without firing weapons can allow you to revive them while cloaked.
