Augment

Main article: Airburst Rounds

Airburst Rounds is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Zephyr that provides a damage bonus for secondaries for every enemy hit with  Airburst.

Rank	Damage bonus per enemy	Duration	Cost

1	+20%	8s	7
2	+30%	11s	8
3	+40%	14s	9

Tips & Tricks

• Airburst is an effective way to deal with large swarms of enemies, especially melee, and when they are huddled together.
• Airburst allows players to apply crowd-control effects on enemies in the distance.
• Synergizes well with Zephyr's Tail Wind as the latter allows Zephyr to stay airborne longer, halving the casting cost of the ability.
• Allows players to make Tornadoes, which aren't affected by Ability Range mods, larger. This increases the suction range of the Tornadoes.
