Info

• Hildryn activates her jet thrusters as she lifts off from the ground. Hildryn 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 an 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 damage per second, and drop an Energy Orb every ? seconds. Deactivating Aegis Storm (default 4 ) causes Hildryn to slam into the ground, knocking down and dealing 100 / 300 / 400 / 500 damage against all enemies inside the energy field.
  • Geyser and slam damage are affected by Ability Strength.
    • Geyser damage is further increased as the energy field's radius becomes smaller.
  • Range is affected by Ability Range.
  • Activation shield cost is affected by Ability Efficiency, while shield drain per second values are affected by both Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
• 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 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.
• 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.
•  Pillage cannot be cast while Aegis Storm is active.
• Hildryn can perform dodging while Aegis Storm is active, at the cost of using 50 shields per dodge.
  • Dash shield cost is affected by Ability Efficiency.
  • Dodge distance is increased by Parkour Velocity bonuses from  Arcane Agility,  Arcane Consequence, and  Telos Boltace, 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 ability like  Volt's  Speed and  Wisp's Haste  Reservoirs.
• 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.
    • If Hildryn casts her  Balefire ability while  Aegis Storm is active, she will appear to possess four Balefire Chargers.

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.
