Octavia/Main

"This is Octavia, the melodic, the maestro.

If music be the food of death... play on, Tenno."

- Lotus

Release Date: March 24th, 2017

Rhythmic and imaginative, Octavia conducts her myriad of siren songs and ambient anthems through the mystical Mandachord. Entice enemies with musical instruments that inflict melodic maladies, as the Tenno chorus synchronize their rhythm to sound the drums of war.

Acquisition
Octavia's main blueprint is acquired upon completion of the Octavia's Anthem quest.

The Chassis blueprint can be obtained from the choral musical note memory puzzle found in Lua missions. Note that the part will be awarded from an Orokin Storage Container on top of the puzzle, not in the normal Rare Container off to the side.

The Systems blueprint has a chance to drop from Rotation A Lua Crossfire (Plato) caches and the Neuroptics blueprint can be found from Rotation C of Orokin Derelict Survival.

The drop chances for each component are 22.56% for the Neuroptics and Systems blueprints, while the Chassis is guaranteed to be rewarded upon solving the choral puzzle.

This gives an expected 4-5 C Rotations on Orokin Derelict Survival for the Neuroptics and 4-5 Rotation A Cache finds for the Systems. To nearly guarantee at least one drop for each part 37±9 C Rotations on Orokin Derelict Survival for the Neuroptics and 37±9 Rotation A Cache finds for the Systems.

 * Octavia's name was announced during PAX East 2017.
 * Octavia's name comes from the word octave, the word for a span of notes that usually contains an entire scale. Her name may also have some origin from the latin name "Octavia", meaning "eighth born".
