Beware the fury of the truly patient. Baruuk boasts survivability and crowd control. Pushed beyond restraint, he 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.

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 of VoxSolarisIcon Vox Solaris. The main blueprint requires players to be at Rank 2 - Agent, while component blueprints require Rank 3 - Hand. Each blueprint costs ReputationLarge 5,000 Standing, totaling to ReputationLarge 20,000.

Alternatively, upon completion of The Duviri Paradox, Baruuk's main and component blueprints can be earned from The Circuit. By selecting him on the rotating week he is available, players can earn his blueprints after reaching Tier 2 (Neuroptics), 5 (Chassis), 8 (Systems), and 10 (Main) rewards.

Notes

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.
    • The quote "beware the fury of a patient man" and permutations of it have long been used throughout real-world history. It is likely based upon the fact that some people are noticeably slow to anger. Once these people are angered, however, they often exhibit frightening levels of pent-up rage.
  • 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, VoxSolarisIcon Vox Solaris, using ReputationLarge 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 the Tenno Lab.
  • Baruuk's fourth ability, SereneStorm130xWhite Serene Storm, is the first channeled ability, and DesertWind 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 ExaltedBladeWeapon Exalted Blade.
  • Baruuk's Exalted Weapon had a placeholder name "Paci Fist" in the developer build.
  • When another Tenno is under the effects of both Baruuk's DesolateHands130xWhite 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 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 NidusIcon272 Nidus and later HildrynIcon272 Hildryn and GaussIcon272 Gauss. In Baruuk's case, he uses his Restraint.

Notes

  • Baruuk Prime, compared to BaruukIcon272 Baruuk:
    • Higher Shield (365/465 vs. 270/370)
    • Higher Armor (240 vs. 185)
    • Altered polarities (Naramon PolVazarin PolMadurai Pol vs. Vazarin PolVazarin Pol)
  • If Baruuk Prime wields his signature Cobra&Crane Cobra & Crane/Cobra&CranePrime Cobra & Crane Prime, every first hit on an enemy will put them to sleep for 2 seconds.
  • As with any other Prime Warframe, moving close to the location of an Orokin Void Death Orb will restore a pulse of 250 Energy to nearby allies, even if that Death Orb is inactive, destroyed, or non-present. This effect can only occur once per orb.
  • Baruuk Prime's Lull130xWhite Lull and Mod TT 20px Serene Storm's Final Sunrise feature Energy color mandala surrounded by metallic ornament arrowheads, with his chosen Accent color, instead of typically drawn mandala arrowheads.
    • Accent color inherited by his Elude130xWhite Elude and DesolateHands130xWhite Desolate Hands are more vibrant than his normal counterpart.

Passive

BaruukIcon272 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 Reduction when the meter is completely depleted.

  • Restraint meter is displayed in the lower-right on the HUD, above the ability icons.
  • Restraint meter starts fully filled, and is depleted using Baruuk's abilities:
    • Each attack evaded through Elude130xWhite Elude erodes 1.2% from the meter.
    • Each enemy affected by Lull130xWhite Lull erodes 0.8% from the meter.
    • Each enemy disarmed by DesolateHands130xWhite Desolate Hands erodes 1.6% from the meter.
  • Baruuk's fourth ability SereneStorm130xWhite 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.

Base vs Final Stats in Modding - Health / Energy / Shield / Armor Stat Overhaul

If you’ve spent any time invested in the deeper nuances of Modding, you may be familiar with “Warframe Math” - math that upon first glance doesn’t really make sense, but once you learn the inner workings of the game, it all comes together. While we can appreciate the value that complex systems offer to a certain subsect of players, there are other aspects of the game that should have clear and understandable outcomes. Namely: Shield, Health, Energy, and Armor Modding.

Pop quiz: what is 300 + 440%? If you answered 740, you may just be an Excalibur player.

Vitality (+440% Heath), Redirection (+440% Shields), Flow (+150% Energy), and Steel Fiber (+110% Armor) come with large modifier values that don’t seem to match their outcome in-game. This is because these Mods apply their multiplier to the base stats of the Warframe - i.e., the stats you have at Rank 0. In the Excalibur example, a Rank 30 Excalibur’s Health stat of 300 earns an additional 440 Health from max rank Vitality (+440% Heath) since it applies to his base rank Health stat of 100, resulting in 740 total health.

In this update, we have removed this obfuscation by having Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods apply to the stats of Warframes at their current rank. Continuing our Excalibur example, instead of Vitality always applying to Excalibur’s base rank 100 Health, it would apply to his Health stat based on his rank - namely, the stat you can actually see in your Arsenal. If your Excalibur were Rank 30, his Health stat would be 300, which means Vitality’s multiplier would be calculated off of 300.

With previous Health and Mod values, additional adjustments are needed to make this revision work while maintaining game balance. By only changing where the multiplier applies, a Rank 30 Excalibur would receive an extra 1,320 Health from max rank Vitality, resulting in a total health stat of 1,600. This outcome is a significant buff, which is not the intention of this system change.

To remedy this, we approached this problem in two ways:

1 - We reduced the overall multiplier for Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods.
Since these now affect Max Rank Warframe stats, these Mods need to scale differently to maintain the status quo. Additionally, we wanted these new values to be as clear and understandable to all players as possible! Here are a few examples of these value changes:

  • Vitality: Reduced from +440% to +100% Health
  • Redirection: Reduced from +440% to +100% Shield Capacity
  • Steel Fiber: Reduced from +110% to +100% Armor
  • Flow: Reduced from +150% to +100% Energy Max

Note: These are not all of the Mods affected by this change. We share the comprehensive list further down in this section of the update notes.

Doing some quick math, this means that a Rank 30 Excalibur (300 Health) with a reworked Vitality Mod (+100% Health, applied to the final Health stat) would receive 300 extra Health, for a total of 600. That, in contrast, is a nerf, which we also don’t want to do.

So, our next step:

2 - We adjusted Warframe Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor values to keep the end result of the revised Mods as close to the original values as possible.

With this change, Excalibur’s Rank 30 Health stat is 370. With +100% Health from a max Vitality Mod, his resulting Health stat would be 740, which matches what it was originally.

While this path to the same result may seem a little complicated, the outcome matches our intention: we want players to be able to look at their Health, Shield, and Armor Mods, and be able to understand how they affect the stats they see in their Arsenal.

In addition to everything above, we also increased the base stat values for Warframes so that these revised Mods offer similar value for lower-ranked Frames. To do so, we reduced the amount of Health/Shield/Energy that Warframes earn per rank in half, and transferred the sum of that value to their base stats.

For Armor, this is the one stat that does not increase with your Warframe’s level (with some exceptions). Armor values across the board have been slightly increased to compensate for the Mod changes.

Not to beat a dead Kaithe, but Mods will now be applying to the Max Rank stat instead of the Base Rank. You may look at these numbers and think “nerf” or “buff” depending, but the outcome is that total Modded values are the same, if not a little higher in some cases.

Warframe Stat Changes:

BARUUK
Health: Base Rank - 180 (from 75) / Max Rank - 280 (from 225)
Shields: Base Rank - 270 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300)
Armor: Base Rank - 185 (from 175)
Energy: Base Rank - 200 (from 200) / Max Rank - 300 (from 300)

BARUUK PRIME
Health: Base Rank - 180 (from 75) / Max Rank - 280 (from 225)
Shields: Base Rank - 365 (from 125) / Max Rank - 465 (from 375)
Armor: Base Rank - 240 (from 225)
Energy: Base Rank - 200 (from 200) / Max Rank - 300 (from 300)

While there may be significant changes to Warframe Stats and Mod values as a part of this overhaul, the end result is that your Builds should mostly stay the same. The key difference is the added clarity of what your Health / Shield / Energy / Armor Mods do in your Upgrade screens!

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.

Warframe Abilities / Exalted Warframe weapons affected by this are:

  • Baruuk Serene Storm

The full breakdown can be read here.
