Lore
- Main article: Leverian#Ash
During the Orokin Era, there was a school of assassination called The Scoria. Each of its members bore a black jewel imprinted between their eyes and treated Ash as their patron saint.
At one point during the Era, the school had two noteworthy students: brothers Dom and Pilio. Dom possessed great skill while Pilio was not as gifted, lacking his brother's grace and clarity, but one day Dom was captured by his target. As capture by the enemy was considered an unforgivable sin to the Scoria, Pilio was given the task to assassinate his brother, a mission that would be overseen by Ash himself. However, Pilio would be torn from killing his brother, were he to succeed, or being killed by his idol, were he to fail.
The pair was dispatched on a tower on Mars, but Pilio failed to overcome the fear that his task wrought, leaving Ash to slay the fifty guardsmen with his Causta Bow and Dual Kamas. Ash led Pilio to their target's chambers, discovering Dom in civilian clothes, casually sharing a glass with a middle-aged mustachioed man whose eyes were sad and kind, and the gem between his eyes removed, signifying that he had betrayed the Scoria. The man gladly called Dom and Pilio his sons before coming to Dom's defense and brandishing a sidearm, which was quickly disarmed by Ash's
Blade Storm.
Urged by Dom, a confused Pilio questioned Ash, who responded by sinking his blade into Pilio's gem. The gem was suppressing the memories of Dom and Pilio DeNas, who were stolen by the Scoria. The mustachioed man, Lio DeNas, was stealing back his sons. Ash had saved the boy from his turmoil and allowed the DeNas family to escape from Mars forever.
It is unknown why Ash went against the school's doctrine. However, it is known that not even the Scoria were spared from their idol during the fall of the Orokin.

Trivia

Ash's concept art.
- Ash was originally named Smoke, and before that, simply Ninja.[1] He is still referred to as Ninja internally in the game files.
- As seen from concept art, Ash was initially slated to be a female Warframe.
- Ash, like some of Hydroid's powers, has a unique perk that allows his
Blade Storm ability to completely bypass enemy armor due to the attacks dealing
True damage; the kind of damage used when players perform finishing attacks on unaware/blinded/sleeping enemies.
- Ash was the first Warframe that had innate physical weapons associated with his frame, in this case, the hidden blades he uses in his Blade Storm ability. The second frame with this innate physical weapon was
Mesa and her Regulator pistols she uses in her
Peacemaker ability.
- Ash has smoke constantly venting from his left arm.
- Prior to Update 29.10 (2021-03-19), Ash's components dropped from Manics.

Vaultings
- On May 24th, 2017, it was announced that Ash Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on May 30th, 2017. Any preexisting components or fully-built frames will remain as is.
- Ash Prime resurfaced along with
Vauban Prime,
Vectis Prime,
Carrier Prime,
Akstiletto Prime, and
Fragor Prime from November 19th, 2019, to February 11th, 2020.
Notes
- Ash Prime, compared to
Ash:
- As a Prime Warframe, Ash Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb will make them release an energy pulse that grants 250 Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.
Trivia
- Ash Prime's helmet could be loosely based on the traditional Kabuto Samurai helmet and shows certain aspects of other Samurai Helmets like the oversized chin guard.
- The ponytail on the Ash Prime helmet is somewhat reminiscent of the ponytail in Ash's original concept art.
- This "ponytail" was originally intended to be included in his final design, however, cloth physics at the time did not permit it.
- In the Codex, Ash Prime's arm blades are mounted underneath the wrist; in-game, however, the blades are positioned above his wrists much like the normal Ash.
- Ash Prime's ability features are energy ribbons that emerge from Ash Prime when he appears out of
Smoke Screen and when he reaches his destination from
Teleport.
- Ash Prime has Orokin writing on his torso that says "Tenno Model 24N - Serial 147H".
- Ash Prime's Arsenal image shows him holding the
Vectis Prime as a lefty. Although this may be unintentional, it could hint to Ash Prime being ambidextrous, hence why he is equally efficient with both arm blades.
- A fully built Ash Prime was given for watching TennoCon 2018 on WARFRAME's Twitch with a Twitch-linked account for 30 consecutive minutes, or were in attendance to TennoCon 2018, on July 7th, 2018.[1]
- Due to server issues that prevented players from watching the livestream, DE gave away a free Ash Prime to anybody with a Twitch-linked account who logged into WARFRAME between July 3rd and July 10th, 2018.[2]

Passive
Any Slash procs inflicted by
Ash (from both weapons and abilities) deal 25% more damage and last 50% longer.
- Bonus is also independent of faction damage bonuses, stacking multiplicatively with them.
- For example, when using
Ash, a weapon that deals 100 damage with
Bane of Grineer will have a
Slash proc that deals (100 * (1 +
0.3)) * 0.35 * (1 +
0.3) * (1 +
0.25) = 73.94 damage per tick.
- For example, when using
- Bonus is also independent of faction damage bonuses, stacking multiplicatively with them.
- Bleed duration bonus stacks additively with status duration mods such as
Lingering Torment.

- Ash throws 1 / 1 / 2 / 2 shuriken to strike enemies standing within a 6 meter radius around him, or home in on enemies within 60 meters and a 90° angle of the aiming reticle. Each Shuriken inflicts 100 / 250 / 350 / 500
Slash damage with a 100% status chance on hit.
- Damage is affected by Ability Strength and
Theorem Demulcent.
- The Bleed DoT inflicts 43.75% of the initial damage per tick for a total of 9 ticks over 9 seconds, due to Ash's passive. The Bleed damage bypasses armor.
- Should Shuriken hit an enemy's head, the Bleed DoT will inflict 87.5% of the initial damage per tick for the same duration.
- Number of shurikens, auto-target radius, targeting range, homing angle, and status chance are not affected by mods.
- Shurikens do not require direct line of sight to home in on enemies.
- Shurikens can bypass obstacles in the environment to strike targets behind walls and objects.
- Shurikens will travel toward the aiming reticle on a slight angle if no enemies were standing close to Ash or within the targeting range and homing angle. Enemies will still receive damage and proc if hit by these Shurikens.
- Damage is affected by Ability Strength and
- Shuriken will not disrupt Shade's cloak.
- Shuriken is a one-handed action. As such, it can be used while performing various maneuvers and actions without interruption.

- Main article: Seeking Shuriken
Seeking Shuriken is an Ash Warframe Augment Mod that allows
Shuriken to temporarily reduce the armor of their targets.
Rank | Armor Reduction | Duration | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 35% | 2s | 6 |
1 | 45% | 4s | 7 |
2 | 55% | 6s | 8 |
3 | 70% | 8s | 9 |
- Can be cast in rapid succession and since
Slash procs ignore armor and can be stacked, this can bypass the high scaled armor of Grineer units.
- Shuriken can be used to seek out nearby hidden enemies due to its homing feature.
- However, Shuriken will often try to seek enemies that you've run past, making it miss both the enemy you ran past and the target you were trying to hit.
- Using the
Seeking Shuriken augment, Ash can strip armor of any enemy entirely with only 143% Ability Strength. It works great on bosses, especially in Sorties when they are high level.

3 | 8s | 15m | 150% | 9 |
- Smoke Screen does not prevent damage from Orokin Lasers or AoE damage such as poison clouds and explosions.
- The ability's short duration makes Smoke Screen only useful for quick flanking movements.
- The low duration also necessitates using the ability with care and paying attention to the remaining duration when active.
- Can be used when surrounded to stagger nearby enemies and escape.

- Targeting range is affected by Ability Range.
- Eligible teleport targets include: enemies, allies, hostages, Cryopods, Excavators, and destructible objects.
- If the enemy cannot be attacked with a melee finisher (either due to positioning or the enemy type), it will be susceptible to Stealth Damage Multipliers from melee attacks for the duration of the stagger.
- As with
Smoke Screen, coming into physical contact with the enemy while attacking will temporarily remove the damage bonus.
- As with
- Can be cast for free on a marked enemy target during
Blade Storm's Shadow Clones assault phase. Ash will teleport to the targeted enemy and strike it and all remaining marked enemies in a cinematic cutscene sequence.
- When an unmarked enemy is targeted instead, Ash will attack it once before striking all remaining marked enemies.
- Requires direct line of sight to a small part of the target to cast.
- Can be used while in mid-air.
- Note that using Teleport on enemies will alert them to your presence, preventing you from receiving the Stealth Kill affinity bonus.
- Wardens additionally lose the massive stealth attack bonus they receive from normal stealth attacks.
- Main article: Fatal Teleport
Fatal Teleport is a Warframe Augment Mod for Ash that causes
Teleport to immediately perform a melee finisher upon teleporting to the target, with an additional damage multiplier. Additionally, if the finisher kills its target, 50% of Teleport's energy cost is refunded.

Venka Prime equipped at 13x combo.
- Melee mods do not increase damage, including
Finishing Touch and
Covert Lethality.
- Melee mods that affect the combo counter and attack speed will benefit blade storm.

Synoid Heliocor (20),
Fragor Prime (30), and
Venka Prime's increased combo cap.
- Animation speed is affected by attack speed mods (e.g.
Fury) up to the Finisher cap of +50%.
- Buffs such as
Speed,
Warcry and
Arcane Strike will only buff Ash's Animation speed when he joins blade storm via
Teleport, and not the clone's.
- Animation speed is not affected by the base weapon's attack speed,
Berserker Fury, or casting speed mods (e.g.,
Natural Talent).

- The Bleed's DoT inflicts 43.75% of the initial damage per tick for a total of 9 ticks over 9 seconds. The Bleed damage bypasses armor.
- Direct hit damage therefore accounts for only 20% of Blade Storm's total damage.
- Total Direct hit Damage (not
Slash's Bleed's DoT) is further multiplied by
Excalibur's
Radiant Finish and
Banshee's
Savage Silence. (eg. with 100% strength: 2,000 × (1 +
300%) = 8,000)
- Strikes from Ash and his clones add to the melee combo counter.

- Reactivating Blade Storm with no marks will toggle off targeting mode instead.
- While in targeting mode, Ash emits black smoke and his vision darkens.
- Blade Storm has no casting animations, so Ash can still perform all other functions normally such as maneuvering, casting other abilities, and firing or reloading weapons.
- Ash cannot re-enter targeting mode while his Shadow Clones are attacking marked enemies.
- Ability Synergy:
- Invisibility by means of
Smoke Screen or other allied abilities will half the energy cost of Blade Storm from 12 to 6 per mark.
- While Blade Storm is attacking,
Teleport can be cast on a marked enemy at no energy cost to include Ash in the assault. Ash becomes invulnerable for the duration as he teleports and strikes all remaining marked enemies in a cinematic sequence.
- While joining Blade Storm costs no energy, Ash must have enough energy to cast Teleport to join.
- Strikes by Ash deal the same damage as his clones, but will attack enemies not targeted his clones. He consumes marks, and effectively accelerates the assault.
- Ash can regenerate his shields during the animation.
- Invisibility by means of
- Main article: Rising Storm
Rising Storm is an Ash Warframe Augment Mod that allows the clones generated by
Blade Storm to contribute additional hits to the Melee Combo Counter, as well as increases the duration the Melee Combo Counter lasts.
Rank | Bonus Hits per Attack | Bonus Combo Duration | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 1 | 10s | 6 |
1 | 2 | 10s | 7 |
2 | 3 | 10s | 8 |
3 | 4 | 10s | 9 |
- Blade Storm can be activated while zooming in with a ranged weapon. This can be used to more precisely pick targets.
- You are invincible while using
Blade Storm. This can be used to give time to regenerate your shields.
Blade Storm can be used to pick up items that are very far away or in dangerous situations (an item surrounded by 5 enemies for example). This generally requires a sentinel's
Vacuum skill for maximum effectiveness. Simply target an enemy near something you want to pick up and activate the ability. Since you return to your starting point you will return to your "safe spot" but will have picked up health orbs, energy orbs, resources, and even mods.
- Blade Storm can be used to start long melee combo chains to gain additional bonus melee damage.
- This synergizes well with builds centered around
Blood Rush,
Weeping Wounds, and Gladiator Mods.
- This synergizes well with builds centered around
- Blade Storm can be empowered by performing melee combo chains before casting, as the ability's damage benefits greatly from the bonus melee damage multiplier.
- Since Blade Storm deals
True damage, the ability is well suited to dealing with Conculysts and Battalysts.
- Ash's second ability,
Smoke Screen, synergizes well with this ability, reducing both the energy cost per mark and Ash's vulnerability when marking enemies.
- Similarly,
Arcane Trickery also synergizes well, since it can be triggered by Blade Storm and reduces the cost per mark.
- Similarly,
- Blade Storm allows Ash to easily trigger
Arcane Ultimatum, giving him a boost in survivability.
- Blade Storm finishers also trigger
Exodia Might with Zaws, allowing substantial health regeneration without the use of
Life Strike.
- Considering Blade Storm has a 100% chance to proc Bleed, dealing 43.75% of the base damage 10 times in 9 seconds, the ability actually does 2,000 + ((2,000×0.4375)×10) = 10,750 damage in 9 seconds, making it one of the most powerful abilities in the game if modded and used accordingly.
- If used during sliding, Blade Storm seems to use a shorter version of finishing animations, which reduces total animation time.
- Blade Storm benefits greatly from the effects of
Body Count,
Drifting Contact, and
Gladiator Rush. Instead of having a 3 second delay before the combo counter disappears, the delay will be 3+12+10+6 = 31 seconds.
- Using the
Rising Storm augment will further increase the delay.
- Using the
- Since Ash only spawns 2 Shadow Clones, it's highly suggested to equip attack speed mods as the time needed for the Shadow Clones' animations can make gameplay sluggish, especially if a large amount of enemies are marked.
- Joining Blade Storm has multiple benefits for Ash:
- Becoming invulnerable allows Ash to ignore status effects, such as
Toxin, and regenerate his shields.
- The rate in which attacks are dealt is increased as there will be 3 attackers instead of 2.
- The amount of hits added to the combo counter from the ability will be higher than if Ash were to not join.
- Becoming invulnerable allows Ash to ignore status effects, such as
- Using Teleport on an unmarked enemy while Ash's Shadow Clones are attacking marked ones will result in the unmarked enemy being marked without consuming any energy. Ash will then join Blade Storm until all marks are expended.
- Enemies attacked by Blade Storm this way are only attacked once.
- On some occasions (most likely related to latency), Ash will remain vulnerable whilst being unable to exit this bugged state without getting killed (as in, actually dying and using a revive charge, as revived by a teammate will not end this glitch).
- This may occur when the initial target for Blade Storm is killed (by another player/procs) during the teleporting animation, causing Ash to teleport to his casting location, and initiate this bug.
- To deactivate the bug, Ash can prompt a "falling out of level" event by power wall climbing to the sky if there is a wall in the map that allows him to. This will respawn Ash to a random location on the ground and deactivate the bug.

- Xoris Interaction Changes
Certain Warframe Abilities and Exalted weapons will now reset the Melee Combo Counter only if the Xoris is being used. The overwhelming Damage output of certain Warframe Abilities was not our intention with an infinite Melee Combo weapon, and the conversation of ‘Xoris or you’re doing it wrong’ is greatly restrictive in terms of player choice.
