Info

• Hildryn expends 100 shields or overshields to activate her jet thrusters as she lifts off from the ground. Hildryn moves at moving at 7.6 m/s and gains vertical and horizontal flight capabilities using the movement (W A S D ), crouch (Ctrl ), and jump (Spacebar ) hotkeys, similar to Archwing Maneuvers but without the Afterburner. While active, her shield matrix drains 25 shield points per second to continuously generate a energy field with a range of 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters; the energy field shrinks as Hildryn gains vertical height and expands as she is closer to the ground. Enemies inside the energy field and within Hildryn's line of sight drain 25 shield points per second per enemy, causing a fiery energy geyser to erupt from beneath them; enemies burned by energy geysers are suspended in midair, receive 100 / 125 / 150 / 200  Radiation damage per second, and drop an Energy Orb every 8-18 seconds. Deactivating Aegis Storm (default 4 ) causes Hildryn to become Invulnerable as she slams into the ground, knocking down and dealing 100 / 300 / 400 / 500  Impact damage against all enemies inside the energy field.
  • Geyser damage is increased as the energy field's radius becomes smaller.
  • Move Speed is affected by Movement Speed buffs, but not Sprint Speed buffs.
• Hildryn in Aegis Storm cannot ascend higher than 10 meters above the horizontal surface underneath her. If Hildryn is above this threshold when activating the ability or due to descending changes in elevation, she will float downward. If Hildryn moves onto terrain that has a higher elevation than her original casting location, she will not maintain her current altitude limit and will rise to match the terrain.
• Ability Synergy: Activating Aegis Storm will immediately equip  Balefire at no shield cost.
• Hildryn's  Balefire Charger is the only weapon usable while this ability is active. Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapons cannot be used with Aegis Storm.
  • However, Hildryn cannot zoom in with her Balefire Charger during Aegis Storm.
  • While Hildryn holds two Balefire Chargers instead of one while Aegis Storm is active, this is a purely cosmetic feature and has no effect on the weapon's effectiveness.
• Hildryn can perform dodging while Aegis Storm is active, at the cost of using 50 shields per dodge.
  • Dodge distance is increased by Parkour Velocity bonuses from  Arcane Agility,  Arcane Consequence,  Telos Boltace, and Infested Mobility, but not  Endurance Drift.
  •  Amalgam Barrel Diffusion reduces animation time at the cost of ~27%±3% reduced distance.
• Aegis Storm's movement speed is affected by movement speed increases such as  Volt's  Speed and  Wisp's Haste  Reservoirs.
• Hildryn is unable to accomplish any action that requires the Use key (default X ) while Aegis Storm is active, thus cannot interact with consoles, pick up datamasses, or revive allies from bleedout.
  • The Operator can still be used while in Aegis Storm, and be able to do these actions without deactivating the ability.
• While Aegis Storm is active large shield pads appear above each of Hildryn's shoulders. These pads appear above the pads that are briefly visible when Hildryn casts Pillage.
  • Unlike the pads that appear for Pillage and  Haven; which appear to be generated by small spheres; the pads visible when Aegis Storm is active appear to be generated by two Balefire Chargers, Hildryn's Exalted Weapon.
    • The Balefire Charger visible in Hildryn's hand when she casts Balefire appears to have five energy streams coming out of it. These are not visible in the Balefire Chargers generating her shield pads when Aegis Storm is active.

Augment

Main article: Aegis Gale

Aegis Gale is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Hildryn's  Aegis Storm that grants  Balefire an Alternate Fire during flight, firing a volley of projectiles whose damage scales with Hildryn's max Shields.

Tips & Tricks

• While channeling Aegis Storm, Hildryn can benefit from damage reduction from both  Agility Drift and  Aviator.
• Even though they can't be used, weapons with Weapon Augments can still trigger their Syndicate Radial Effects, as long as they were the equipped weapon when activating Aegis Storm. Using Balefire Charger will prevent these effects, as that then becomes the equipped weapon. This is useful with the Perrin Sequences' Sequence effect, which recovers 25% of the warframe's shield, which is especially effective for Hildryn.
• Operator Mode can be used without cancelling Aegis Storm, allowing Hildryn to crowd-control a large area of the battlefield while the operator uses their Amp or resurrects teammates. This also supplies affinity to an operator's Amp. However, take care not to die as operator, as Transference Static's shield depletion is particularly crippling for Hildryn.
• While channeling, Hildryn's shields can be restored by  Volt's  Capacitance,  Trinity's  Blessing, Night  Equinox's  Mend & Maim, and  Mag's  Polarize. Trinity's  Vampire Leech will not restore shields.
•  Balefire Surge can replenish Hildryn's own shields during Aegis Storm.
