Info

• Yareli twirls out a swirling whirlwind of 3 razor-sharp aquablades that revolve around her for 20 / 22 / 26 / 30 seconds. Aquablades rapidly revolve clockwise around Yareli from 4 meters away, with each blade inflicting 200 / 300 / 400 / 500  Slash damage with a 100% Status Chance and Staggers enemies on direct contact.
  • Energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency.
  • Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Damage is affected by Ability Strength.
    • At max ability rank, if all three Aquablades hit an enemy once, it receives a total of 1,500  Slash damage with 3  Slash procs on individual timers dealing a total of 3,150  True damage over the course of 6 seconds.
  • Casting speed is affected by  Natural Talent and  Speed Drift.
  • Number of blades, range, status chance, and stagger on hit are not affected by mods.
  • Each aquablade must physically touch an enemy to inflict its effects. Enemies standing outside or inside the ring around Yareli are unaffected.
• Ability Synergy:
  •  Sea Snares prevent snared enemies struck by Aquablades from being staggered away, allowing the blades to strike rapidly stacking multiple  Slash status effects.
  • Yareli casts Aquablades without stopping her movement while aboard  Merulina.
• Cannot be recast while active.
• Casting Aquablades is a full-body animation that stops Yareli's grounded movement and other actions.
• Yareli visually clasps both her hands together toward the left, then slides her right arm away in a swift slicing motion, as her left leg lifts briefly for balance. Void-laced water and bubbles splash outward as the blades fade into existence inside a liquid current that forms around Yareli.
  • Aquablades visually resemble three glaive rings stylized with a wave-like design, each suspending in the outer orbit a thin slice of dense water shaped like sawblades. The blades surge and cycle through a circular liquid current laced with Void energy.
  • Aquablades and their Void energy are affected by Yareli's chosen Appearance colors.
  • While active, a continuous water surging sound effect with intermittent soft feminine humming tune plays on loop.
• Enemies successfully struck by Aquablades emit a splash of liquid globs and a water cutting sound effect for each hit.
• Subsuming Yareli to the Helminth will offer Aquablades and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Augment

Surging Blades is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Yareli's  Aquablades that allows her to recast the ability while active to throw a single piercing blade dealing damage and a guaranteed  Slash status effect in a small radius. The bubble's damage accumulates when any Aquablade directly hits an enemy.
