Focus 1.0

Le Focus se réfère aux capacités spéciales débloquées après la Quête Le Second Rêve, elles se compte au nombre de cinq capacités guidées par les préceptes de cinq grandes écoles Tenno.

Capacité de Focus

A la fin de la quête le second rêve, il est demandé aux joueurs de choisir l'une des cinq école comme le focus principal, ce qui leur donne une Capacité de Focus, un pouvoir qui peut être utilisé peu importe la Warframe équipée. Le type de la capacité dépends de l'école choisie, chaque capacité possède ses propres effets. Quand la capacité de focus est activée, une projection spirituelle de l'Opérateur du Tenno apparaît au dehors de la Warframe, le joueur contrôle cette projection qui commencera à utiliser son pouvoir dans la direction visée. Dans cet État Transcendant, le joueur peut faire bouger la projection dans la direction voulue et viser. La Warframe et la projection son invulnérables pendant le temps d'utilisation. Cet état reste pendant environ 8 secondes ou cesse au moment ou le joueur le désactive, la capacité de Focus ne consomme pas d'énergie et demande un minimum de 180 secondes avant d'être utilisée à nouveau.

Le raccourci clavier par défaut est 5 ou Num 5. Ceci peut être modifié sous "Pouvoir E" dans les Commandes. Une fois le focus débloqué, une jauge circulaire apparaît dans le coin inférieur droite de l'interface du joueur, à droite de la jauge d'énergie de la Warframe, ce qui montre le compte à rebours d'utilisation de la capacité - La jauge se remplie d'énergie bleue jusqu'à être pleine, à ce moment là, elle gagnera une brillance circulaire montrant que la capacité est prête à être utilisée.

Focus Points

Focus Lens

Focus Abilities can be upgraded through the use of Points de Focus, which are earned through the use of a Focus Lens, a special item that converts 2.5% of experience points earned to Points de Focus. Focus Lenses can only be installed on Rank 30 Warframes, Weapons, Archwings, and Archwing weapons. Only excess experience points gained after Rank 30 is converted to Focus points; if a Focus Lens-equipped item is polarized, the item will not convert Focus points until it has once again reached Rank 30. Items can only have one Focus Lens installed at any time; while players can swap an installed Focus Lens for another one, the previously installed Lens will be lost in the process. Currently, Focus Lens can be acquired through completing Sortie missions, and can be traded between players.

The type of Focus earned is determined by the lens that is used. For example, installing a Naramon Lens on a Warframe will earn Naramon Focus. Affinity earned through kills with a lens-equipped item beyond Rank 30 will go towards earning Focus, and will also take Stealth Attack Affinity bonuses into account. Warframes equipped with lenses can gain Focus points from kills made by their powers (100%) or weapons (50%), while lens-equipped weapons can only earn Focus for direct kills (50%).

Affinity earned by other equipped weapons, affinity earned from kills made by teammates, and bonus affinity from completing objectives will not be converted into Focus. As of Correctif 18.0.2 (04-12-2015), Focus Points have an experimental limit of 75,000 per day.

Once earned, Focus can be spent by accessing the Focus menu on the Orbiter's Transference Room. Focus points can be spent to unlock a new school, unlock a new upgrade node in an existing school ability tree, upgrade an unlocked node, or increase the maximum Pool for a specific tree.

Greater Lens

Greater Lens

Greater Lenses convert a higher percentage of excess affinity into Focus points. Based on limited testing, it appears to convert 6.8% of affinity into focusModèle:Cite. Their blueprints can be obtained from the Components section of the Market.

Tenno Schools

The Tenno Schools are discplines that represent a particular way of thought in regards to the Tenno's personality and fighting styles, with each school focusing on a different discipline, manifesting as a difference in the type of powers granted by their signature Focus Abilities.

Focus is classified into the five Tenno "Schools": Madurai, Vazarin, Naramon, Unairu, and Zenurik. Each school has an associated Skill tree that branches out from the primary signature ability, with upgrades found on nodes within the tree called Ways. Each unlocked Way adds functionality to the signature Focus power, enhancing its utility at the cost of increasing its cooldown time. Once unlocked, a Way has to be activated by clicking on its icon, which will change its icon color from black to red, with a red line leading back to the preceding active Way in the tree to signify that it is on. Only active Ways will impart the cooldown penalty on the signature ability, and an unlocked Way can be deactivated at will, thus players can choose to deactivate a Way to reduce the signature ability's cooldown time at the cost of said Way's utility. Ways also require that the preceding requisite Way in the skill tree is active in order for them to be activated: if the preceding Way is turned off, the Way node it is connected to will also be deactivated.

Individual Ways also contain their own ranks which can be upgraded by spending Focus points to enhance that particular Way's attributes. Unlike with unlocking a new Way node which requires a lump sum of Focus points to unlock, upgrading individual Ways is done by allocating available Focus points unto that particular Way. This allows an Way node to be given Focus points in smaller installments, until the amount of Focus points required to rank up the Way is reached. Focus points allocated in a Way cannot be reimbursed once allocated.

Certain Ways provide Passive upgrades, which confer bonuses that last for the duration of a mission, applying to either the Warframe or the weapons they carry. These passive Ways do not activate until the signature Focus ability has been used at least once during the mission however.

By default, each school can have up to five Ways active, with the signature skill taking up a single Way, leaving four more slots in that school's Way capacity, also known as its Pool. Players can spend Focus to increase the school's pool capacity, increasing the number of Ways that can be activated by one per purchase. While players can unlock any number of Ways in a school's skill tree, if they have an insufficient Pool capacity they will only be able to activate a limited number of Ways. The amount of Focus required to increase Way capacity becomes increasingly more expensive the more capacity is added.

Focus points are school-specific, where points earned from one school can only be used in that school, ex. earned Naramon points can only be used to unlock Ways in the Naramon school. Other schools asides from the originally chosen school can be unlocked, but require spending that specific school's Focus points to do so, thus players must first gather Focus points using the Lens of that specific school.

• If activating Focus purely to activate its passive abilities and without enemies nearby, manually deactivating the ability will allow players to return to normal state immediately. (this might also be a bug)

Bugs

• Joining a high-latency game has a tendency to cause the selected Focus ability to fully charge instantaneously and removes the cooldown completely.

Trivia

• The five schools of focus are based off the five elements of Wu Xing found in Book of Documents（尚书）and is widely used in ancient Chinese philosophical traditions. It resembles the five elements of godai, which lacks Naramon (the tree), as seen on the backgrounds of each school's skill tree page. The Five Elements are Fire, Earth, Water, Wood, and Metal.
  • The Naramon School represents Wood 木. In Wu Xing this is associated with the eyes, growth, flourish, and reaching outward.
  • The Madurai School represents Fire 火. In Wu Xing this is associated with the heart, force, passion, and raw power.
  • The Unairu School represents Earth 地. In Wu Xing this is associated with the flesh, stability, durability, and bearing.
  • The Zenurik School represents Metal 金. Also interpretable as mineral or crystal, this is associated in Wu Xing with the lung, concentrating, reserving, and abundance.
  • The Vazarin School represents Water 水. In Wu Xing this is associated with the bone, flexiblility, supporting, adaptability, and sympathy.
• While the replies that the player chooses during the Operator's conversation with the Lotus has no gameplay effect, the choice of replies are used to reorder the choices of Tenno Schools. Once the selection screen appears, with the school most suited to the Operator appearing on the left, and choice to the right being the least suited. Example: choosing the conversation options relating to knowledge will put Naramon to the leftmost side as the most desirable choice.
