CODEX

Beware the fury of the truly patient. Pushed beyond restraint, a reluctant master unleashes the storm within.

This is Baruuk, the reluctant warrior.

Following the path that winds between peace and hate, he maintains restraint before unleashing the storm within.

—Lotus

Release Date: December 18th, 2018

Virtuously guided by his noble discipline, the pacifist monk Baruuk invokes sacred runes to evade conflict and bring blissful calm to endless strife. Reach beyond the brink of his patience, for foes to seek eternal rest within the storm unleashed. Baruuk reached enlightenment in Update 24.2 (2018-12-18).

Acquisition

Baruuk's blueprints can be purchased from Little Duck, using Vox Solaris standing. The main blueprint requires players to be at Agent rank, while component blueprints require Hand rank. Each blueprint costs 5,000 Standing 5,000 Standing, totaling to 20,000 Standing 20,000.

Notes

If Baruuk wields his signature Cobra & Crane, every first hit on an enemy will put them to sleep for 2 seconds.
While Serene Storm is active, all melee attackers (including ranged enemies that attack Baruuk with a melee attack) are slowed.
Baruuk, along with Volt Prime, Saryn Prime, Chroma Prime, Ivara Prime, and Wisp, possesses the highest energy pool of all Warframes in the game: 200 at rank 0 and 300 at rank 30.
- This can be increased to 600 with a maxed Flow, 850 with Primed Flow, 880 with Primed Flow and Endurance Drift.
Baruuk has the highest potential damage reduction of all Warframes in the game, with 50% from his Restraint Passive, 90% from Desolate Hands, and 40% from Serene Storm.

Trivia

Baruuk was announced during Devstream 119.
Baruuk is described as a "pacifist Warframe" and "reluctant hero", someone who normally avoids combat but is extremely effective at it once pushed past his breaking point.
Baruuk's abilities are described to revolve around mitigating, suppressing and preventing damage until reaching a certain threshold, after which he switches to all-out offense.
- Artwork created by Alice Boudry for Baruuk's reveal coincidentally depicts Baruuk deflecting attacks.
Baruuk's design is inspired by Sudanese tribes.
The word "בָּרוּךְ" (pronounced Bārûḵ) means "blessed" in Tiberian Hebrew. Baruuk is depicted in-game wearing an avnet ('priestly sash') around his waist and up to the base of his ribcage, which was worn only by the High Priest of Israel.
Baruuk is the 38th Warframe to be released (excluding Primed and Umbra variants).
Baruuk is the first Warframe whose blueprints are obtained from a syndicate, Vox Solaris, using standing.
- As a result, unlike most other Warframes, acquisition of Baruuk's blueprints doesn't depend on random chance, similar to Warframes that can be acquired from Tenno Lab.
Baruuk's fourth ability, Serene Storm, is the first channeled ability, and Desert Wind is the first Exalted Weapon, in the game that doesn't require energy, using his unique Restraint that eroded with his other three abilities.
- Restraint can still be eroded normally while Serene Storm is active.
- Desert Wind is the second melee Exalted Weapon with innate ranged attacks, the first being Exalted Blade.
Baruuk's Exalted Weapon had a placeholder name "Paci Fist" in the dev build.
When another Tenno is under the effects of both Baruuk's Desolate Hands and any kind of invisibility, orbs will appear in place of the daggers.
Unlike most of the Warframes, Baruuk was released with only his signature melee, Cobra & Crane.
- As a pacifist, who is typically against taking offensive actions, this may explain why he doesn't have any signature firearms.
- Baruuk is the first Warframe to have signature weapon synergy, since his release, before Update 24.6 (2019-04-04).
Baruuk is the second Warframe to use another type of ability resource besides energy, after Nidus and later Hildryn and Gauss. In Baruuk's case, he uses his restraint.

Edit Tab

Passive

Baruuk's tolerance for violence wanes as his hand is forced by his foes. Restraint is a resource unique to Baruuk that provides up to 50% damage resistance when the meter is completely depleted.

Restraint meter is displayed in the lower-right on the HUD, above the ability icons.
Restraint meter is initially filled, then gradually depletes when the following events occur throughout a mission:
- Each attack evaded through Elude erodes 1.2% from the meter.
- Each enemy affected by Lull erodes 0.8% from the meter.
- Each enemy disarmed by Desolate Hands erodes 1.6% from the meter.
Damage resistance and erode amount are not affected by Mods.
Baruuk's fourth ability Serene Storm utilizes Restraint instead of Energy to cast and maintain. Using this ability refills Restraint meter by 4% on activation and by 0.8% per second until the ability is deactivated.
- Restraint can still erode from using Baruuk's other abilities during this ability.

ENERGY: 25 KEY 1	Elude Dodge all incoming projectiles, but only while not attacking. Use again to deactivate this ability. Energy Drain: 2.5 s^-1	Strength:N/A
		Duration:N/A
		Range:120° / 130° / 150° / 180° (evasion angle)
		Misc:0.2 s (reactive delay) 1.2% (Restraint erosion per attack dodged)

Baruuk enters a stance that causes incoming enemy projectiles and melee attacks to harmlessly phase through his body at angle of 120° / 130° / 150° / 180° relative to the direction Baruuk himself is facing (not the player's camera), but only while not attacking.
- Evasion angle is affected by Ability Range.
- Casting speed and deactivation speed are affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
- Attacking counts as any form of firing a weapon or during a melee animation. Charging a gun does not count as attacking but charging a melee does.
- After attacking, there is an approximately 0.2 second delay before Elude reactivates. The delay will start once a gun has stopped being fired or after a melee animation is finished.
  - Detonating explosives which require a secondary input will not interrupt Elude; however, the initial act of throwing or firing them will.
Ability Synergy:
- Baruuk's Restraint erodes by 1.2% per attack dodged.
- While Elude is active, the seeking range of Desolate Hands daggers is doubled.
Elude consumes 2.5 energy per second while active and will remain active until Baruuk's energy is depleted, or the ability is deactivated by pressing the ability key again.
- Activation energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency, and the energy drain is affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
- Baruuk cannot replenish energy using Energy Vampire, Rift Plane's innate energy regeneration, Squad Energy Restores, Energy Siphon, or Energizing Dash while Elude is active.
- Elude's energy drain is not converted into shields by Augur Mods.
- Energy can be replenished by Energy Orbs, Arcane Energize, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, Rage, and/or Hunter Adrenaline while the ability is active.
Baruuk's idle animation changes to a nonchalant-looking stance as his torso visibly vibrates constantly while Elude is active. Flowing Void energy waves emit from his upper body to visually represent the angle of evasion.
- Evaded attacks cause transparent holes to briefly open at the contact spots on Baruuk's body, while a stream of energy particles move through at high speed as each hole closes.

360° dodge can be achieved with a minimum of 200% Ability Range.

Pairs well with weapons with a charge trigger type, since Baruuk doesn't take damage while charging the weapon until firing.

ENERGY: 50 KEY 2	Lull A calming wave slows enemies until they fall into a slumber. Enemies woken by damage will be confused and disoriented. Short-term amnesia means all waking enemies forget anything that happened before the lull.	Strength:N/A
		Duration:2 / 3 / 4 / 5 s (wave duration) 10 / 13 / 18 / 20 s (sleep duration)
		Range:10 / 15 / 20 / 25 m
		Misc:0.80% (Restraint erosion per enemy lulled) 100 % (alertness reset)
		Subsumable to Helminth

ENERGY: 75 KEY 3	Desolate Hands Summon a bevy of orbiting daggers to seek out enemy guns, destroying them with a small explosion. Combine with Elude to double the range.	Strength:100 / 150 / 200 / 250 ( Blast damage) 3 / 4 / 6 / 8 (number of charges)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:6 m (seek range) 3 m (explosion radius)
		Misc:1.6% (Restraint erosion per enemy disarmed) 10% (damage reduction per dagger) 90% (damage reduction cap) 50% (dagger cap per ally)

Baruuk summons a protective ring of 3 / 4 / 6 / 8 levitating energy daggers around him that passively provide him with 10% damage reduction per dagger orbiting in the ring. The daggers will seek enemies in sight and within 6 meters, launching one by one to Disarm their targets on impact, then explode dealing 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 Blast damage to all enemies within a 3 meter radius.
- Damage and number of daggers are affected by Ability Strength.
  - Damage reduction percentage per dagger is not affected by Mods. The Arsenal lists the damage reduction with maximum daggers.
  - Damage reduction can not exceed 90% under any circumstance, capping out at 9 daggers.
  - Dagger damage is also affected by Theorem Demulcent.
- Seek and explosion range are affected by Ability Range.
- Casting speed is affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
- Enemies that have already been disarmed will not be targeted by the daggers.
While at least 1 dagger is orbiting Baruuk, Desolate Hands shares its effects with allies by launching 1 dagger at a time to the nearest ally within Baruuk's dagger seek range and in direct line of sight. Shared daggers also provide damage reduction, disarm charges, and erodes Baruuk's Restraint on enemy disarm for the affected allies; each ally can carry up to 50% of the modded number of daggers.
- Affected allies includes all Warframes, Companions, Eidolon Lures, summoned allied units such as Specters, allied Invasion units, Hostages, Kavor Defectors, Sortie and Arbitrations Defense Operatives, and Defense Objects.
  - On Defense Objects, the damage reduction is capped at 50%, but the object may still carry more than 5 daggers.
- Baruuk does not lose his own dagger charges when shared with allies, instead his allies receive new daggers.
- Once the maximum number of shared daggers is reached on an ally, Baruuk's Desolate Hands will not share new daggers with that ally.
- Only Baruuk's own Desolate Hands will share new daggers to allies.
Ability Synergy:
- Baruuk's Restraint erodes by ~1.6% per enemy disarmed by his own daggers and shared daggers on allies.
- While Elude is active, the daggers' seeking range is doubled.
- Damage dealt by Desolate Hand's dagger explosion will not awaken sleeping enemies under Lull's influence.
Can be recast while active to restore the number of daggers to full.
- New instance of Desolate Hands will cause daggers to retarget previously disarmed enemies and allies with shared daggers if within range.
Casting Desolate Hands is a full-body animation that stops Baruuk's grounded movement and other actions.

Low range values can help prevent the daggers from seeking out enemies, making it easier to keep them for damage reduction.

ENERGY: 0 KEY 4	Serene Storm With his Restraint eroded, Baruuk commands the Desert Wind to deliver powerful radial strikes with his fists and feet. Each moment commanding the storm restores his Restraint. Restraint Restore on Activation: 4% Restraint Restore Channelling Cost: 0.80% s^-1	Strength:100 / 125 / 200 / 250 ( Impact damage) 10% / 15% /20% / 25% (damage reduction)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:N/A
		Misc:40% (damage reduction cap) ? % (disarm chance on hit) 100 % (wind wave projectile deflection)

Baruuk foregoes his restraints to empower his fists with volatile energies, commanding the Desert Wind and wielding it as his melee Exalted Weapon. While Serene Storm is active, Baruuk also receives 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% damage reduction against enemy attacks.
- Damage reduction is affected by Ability Strength up to a cap of 40%.
- Damage reduction only applies when Desert Wind is the active weapon.
Rather than using energy, Baruuk regenerates his Restraint, recovering 4% Restraint on activation and then restores 0.80% Restraint per second.
- Restraint restore is not affected by mods.
- Baruuk can still erode his Restraint while Serene Storm is active by using his other abilities.
- Baruuk does not need to have completely eroded his Restraint meter to use Serene Storm. He is free to activate it as long as he has 96% Restraint, and can deactivate it at any time to stop restoring his Restraint if he wishes.

Normal attacks deal 100 / 125 / 200 / 250 damage within 2 meters.
- Damage is purely Impact.
- Wall attacks and slide attacks inflict 300 / 375 / 600 / 750 damage for each strike.
- Aerial attacks inflict 200 / 250 / 400 / 500 damage.
- Slam attacks inflict 300 damage within 5 meters.
Attacks and wind waves have a 200% critical multiplier with a 50% critical chance and a 15% status chance.
Damage is affected by Ability Strength, the Melee Combo Counter, most mods, and buffs.
- As an example, with a maxed Pressure Point, Shocking Touch and Intensify, the normal attacks of a rank-3 Serene Storm will deal
  $Base Damage \times (1 + Damage Mods) \times (1 + Elemental Mods) \times (1 + Strength Mods) =$
  $250 \times (1 + 1.2) \times (1 + 0.9) \times (1 + 0.3) = 1,358.5$ damage.
- The mods that can be equipped on and affect Desert Wind include:
  - damage (e.g., Steel Charge)
  - physical damage (e.g., Heavy Trauma)
  - elemental damage (e.g., Shocking Touch)
  - faction (e.g., Smite Corpus)
  - critical chance and damage (e.g., True Steel and Organ Shatter)
  - Status chance (e.g., Melee Prowess and Vicious Frost)
  - attack speed (e.g., Fury and Berserker Fury)
  - range (e.g., Primed Reach does not work on Radial wind wave itself, but on the close quarters melee hit range)
  - Drifting Contact
  - Healing Return
  - Condition Overload (Does not work on Radial wind wave itself, only close quarters melee hit)
  - Shattering Impact
    - While officially Set Mod bonuses do not affect Exalted Weapons (with the exception of the Sacrificial Mod Set), the Gladiator Mod Set can still apply if equipped on Melee and not on the Exalted Weapon itself.
- Range mods do not affect the radius of slam attacks.
- Desert Wind can not be equipped with weapon augments (e.g., Justice Blades), class-specific mods (e.g., Covert Lethality), Melee Combo Counter Mods (except Drifting Contact), Acolyte Mods (e.g., Blood Rush), or Amalgam Mods (e.g., Amalgam Organ Shatter).
- Riven Mods are not generated for Desert Wind.
- The combo counter will reset when equipped with Xoris.
- Serene Storm's combo counter decay is affected by Power Spike.
- Radial damage from slam attacks diminishes with distance, does not have a critical chance, is not affected by the Melee Combo Counter, and will cause enemies within range to suffer a knockdown.
- Ground finishers inflict 1600% of the total modified damage from normal attacks. Prompted finishers inflict 6400% of the total modified damage from normal attacks as True Damage.
  - The damage composition of a ground finisher is the same as a modified normal attack; however, Impact damage from ground finishers is multiplied by 125%.
  - The finisher multipliers for both attacks are affected by Finishing Touch.
- Each attack adds to the Melee Combo Counter; however, radial damage from slam attacks does not.
Serene Storm is affected by and can trigger Warframe and Exodia Arcanes.

Normal attacks will emit a wind wave in the direction of aim that travel 20 meters. Wind waves have the same base damage as the melee attacks that release them.

The wind waves and Serene Storm itself are considered separate entities and will both deal damage separately.
Wind waves will punch through and hit enemies and terrain regardless of thickness up to their maximum range.
Wave damage does not fall off with distance.
Wave range and flight speed are not affected by mods.
Enemies hit by the waves will suffer a stagger.
Enemy projectiles hit by the waves have a 100% chance to be redirected toward their originating direction.

Serene Storm comes installed with its own unique stance. Additional combos will be unlocked as Serene Storm increases in rank.

Forward melee combo thrusts Baruuk's fists toward his enemies to generate a powerful push that inflicts damage, stagger, and ragdoll effects.
Hold melee combo creates an upward draft that drifts forward and gradually lifts enemies high into the air.
Block melee combo creates a suctioning pull to drag enemies toward Baruuk.
Slide melee combo bends gravity around Baruuk to radially lift all nearby enemies into the air.
Slam melee combo creates a radial blast that knocks back all enemies in range.
Slam melee combo while blocking creates a radial vortex that pulls in all enemies in range.

Any hits made directly by the impact of Baruuk's fist or the waves of energy caused by Desert Wind, have a chance to permanently Disarm the enemy.

Condition Overload is not affected.

Main article: Desert Wind

Desert Wind is Baruuk's signature Exalted Weapon, which can only be used upon activating the Serene Storm. The weapon exclusively uses the Serene Storm stance.

Main article: Serene Storm (Stance)

Serene Storm is a unique Stance exclusive to Desert Wind that can only be acquired and used by activating Baruuk's fourth ability, Serene Storm. This Stance overrides the Stance on any currently equipped melee weapon for as long as Serene Storm remains active.

Main article: Reactive Storm

Reactive Storm is a Warframe Augment Mod for Baruuk's Serene Storm to increase Desert Wind's base status chance and alters its damage type to match enemy weaknesses.

Rank	Status Chance	Cost
0	100%	6
