Info

• Styanax expends 15 energy to hurl a single Axios Javelin in an arcing trajectory toward the reticle. Axios travels at high speed for 50 meters before dissipating, while impaling the first enemy it directly hits to carry it along. The impaled enemy and any enemies in Axios' flight path are inflicted 500 / 750 / 1,000 / 1,250  Puncture damage and Knockdown. The impaled enemy remains pinned by Axios Javelin for 8 seconds.
  • Axios Javelin has target detection around the reticle, causing the thrown javelin to attempt to home into the nearest enemy.
  • The Javelin's destination is instantly set upon activating the ability, rather than where it would naturally travel when thrown where aimed. It follows this course regardless of any movement or aiming during the throwing animation, even if you move behind an obstruction that should block its set course.
  • If cast in the air, Styanax hops up 1 meter before he throws the javelin.
  • The javelin benefits from generic increases to weapon base damage, such as from  Arcane Arachne,  Holster Amp, and  Vigorous Swap, but not from weapon class specific increases like  Steel Charge or  Rifle Amp.
• If Axios impales an enemy and it impacts a surface, the javelin explodes to inflict 500 / 750 / 1,000 / 1,250  Blast damage to all enemies in a 15 meter radius. Simultaneously, a vortex implosion lasting for 2 seconds, pulls all enemies within sight detection range into its center.
  • Enemies immune to  Ragdoll when impaled by Axios Javelin will not create a vortex.
  • Explosion can damage and break destructible Objects in range while bypassing line of sight restriction.
• Can be recast with brief to no delay in-between, allowing for rapid-fire javelin throws.
• Casting Axios Javelin is a full-body animation that restricts Styanax's grounded movement and interrupts other actions, as well as displacing his position vertically when midair.

Augment

Main article: Axios Javelineers

Axios Javelineers is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Styanax that allows  Axios Javelin to spawn specters that throw two additional javelins, with a guaranteed chance to spawn a Vortex, while increasing vortex duration when directly striking enemies.

Tips & Tricks

• • Axios Javelin's vortex assists  Tharros Strike in en-masse enemy defense reduction and rapid health recovery for Styanax.
  •  Rally Point taunts enemies to aggressively approach Styanax and become exposed to javelin targeting when away from cover. Energy regen recovers Axios Javelin's low cost quickly. Axios Javelin's vortex groups enemies together for rapid shield recovery on kill or kill assists.
  • Axios Javelin's vortex assists  Final Stand in focusing its barrage on the grouped enemies.
