Amalgamated with our ancient nemesis, his vessel of Helminth morph suffused by adaptive bionics. Hybridize the powers of Warframe and 
Sentient combined as Caliban, the chimeral prototype. Splinter forth his triad of familial fragments, to sweep death from Tau across Origin, through cyclonic devastation and destructive energy infusion. Caliban returned to wage war in Update 31.0 (2021-12-15): The New War.
Acquisition
- Caliban's main blueprint is purchased from the Market. His component blueprints are acquired from Narmer Bounties after completion of The New War. One component blueprint is available as an uncommon drop; which component is available is chosen randomly on every Bounty refresh after 2½ hours.

Lore
Birthed during The Old War by the Sentient warlord, Erra, Caliban was created for a single purpose: to destroy the 
Tenno.
A freakish amalgamation of both Warframe and Sentient, it is a miracle that his creator no longer controls him.
Notes
- When Caliban wields his Signature
Venato, each Melee hit has a 50% chance to gain additional Melee Combo points. - Caliban's ability kit is able to inflict Tau damage, which is neutral to all health types meaning its damage is neither increased or decreased against all enemies. His abilities are also able to trigger the Status Vulnerability Status Effect.
Trivia
- Caliban is the 48th unique Warframe to be released, and is the second Sentient-themed Warframe after Revenant.
- Caliban was first revealed in TennoCon 2021's Art of Warframe digital panel. The panel featured his concept artist, Keith Thompson, who designed much of the Sentient faction's aesthetic.
- Caliban is a character from Shakespeare's play The Tempest, which depicts him as half human and half monster.
- Caliban is second in line of Sentient-themed Warframes, after Revenant who is predominantly based on the Eidolon, a subspecies of undead spectral Sentients.
- Similar to Revenant's Eidolon energy, Caliban exudes the signature Sentient unlight within his core cavity and the various exhaust vents on his body.
- Caliban sports animated parts on his body ranging from the antennae spikes to the hovering shoulder blade pads.
- Much like the Sentient drones and fragments, Caliban's body is bisected in two from the neck down, giving him the Sentients' thematic starfish-like appearance.
- Caliban's abilities are derived from some attacks used by Sentient enemies:
- Razor Gyre's spinning from Conculysts.
- Sentient Wrath's shockwave from Eidolons.
- Lethal Progeny's Sentient summon from Eidolons, Oculysts, and Summulysts.
- Fusion Strike's beam convergence from Ropalolyst.
- Following his rework on Update 37.0 (2024-10-02), Caliban is the first Warframe to possess abilities that inflict Tau damage.
- Caliban shares his name with a mission node on Uranus.
- Caliban is third Warframe after Titania and Wisp and the first male Warframe with hovering Idle Animations. However, he does not have unique movement animations.
- Oddly enough, despite Caliban's Sentient composition that would make him highly susceptible to Void damage, he and Revenant do fine in areas rife with Void Energy such as the Orokin Void and the Zariman Ten Zero.
- Caliban is currently the last Warframe to have a dedicated profile video, as subsequent releases ( Gyre, Styanax, and so on) lacked such.
References
Passive
Versatile and resilient, 
Caliban and allies within his Affinity Range gain Adaptive Armor that builds damage resistance against the highest damage type received from enemy attacks, stacking 5% per hit up to a cap of 50%. If Caliban or his allies do not receive damage for 5 seconds, their Adaptive Armor loses 2% per second until fully removed.
- Passive bonus value is displayed as a Buff icon beside Caliban's hitpoint indicators.
- Damage over time from procs (such as Slash or Toxin for example) will not contribute nor maintain damage resistance.
- Adaptive Armor does not stack with Adaptation. The damage reduction provided to Caliban (or his allies) equipped with Adaptation will be the higher of the two values.

Update 37.0 (2024-10-02)
- Caliban Rework
It’s finally Caliban’s turn to receive a Rework! The reign of the twin-kingdom hybrid begins.
As mentioned at the top of the patch notes, login today until October 16th @ 11:59 PM ET to earn Caliban for FREE via inbox message.
Introducing a new Status Effect: Tau Damage
Being of half-Sentient origin, Caliban brings a new element to the fight. He’ll inflict Tau Damage and Tau Status Effects upon the battlefield with many of his abilities (specifics listed below for affected abilities).
Tau’s Status Effect inflicts Status Chance Vulnerability* to enemies affected by it, with a max of 10 Stacks culminating in 100% Status Chance Vulnerability (10% per Stack), with each stack individually lasting 8 seconds!
*This effect was originally introduced by Dante and his Pageflight Paragrimms, which applies Status Chance Vulnerability to enemies. This mechanic increases the likelihood an enemy receives a Status Effect when being hit.
Passive Changes:
Caliban’s Passive is virtually unchanged, but we’ve changed it to gather stacks when Caliban is immune, similar to Adaptation.
Razor Gyre Changes:
- Razor Gyre is now a Tau Status-inflicting traversal tool with a multitude of synergies.
- Tap to dash forward as a spinning vortex, hitting every enemy within your radius.
- For every enemy hit, Caliban gains 30 Health points, and when his Health is overflowed, it becomes 30 Shields. If your Shields overflow, it becomes 30 Overshield!
- Razor Gyre will also grant 25% of the Energy cost per enemy hit!
- Loot and Energy/Health Orbs can now be collected during Razor Gyre.
- Razor Gyre now inflicts Tau Damage and Status instead of Slash and Impact Damage and Status.
- Razor Gyre inflicts 500 base Tau Damage and 1,000 base Tau Damage on lifted enemies.
- Razor Gyre has a 25% Status Chance to inflict Tau Status on an enemy.
Sentient Wrath Changes:
- Enemies suspended by Sentient Wrath will now be locked in-place to prevent them from floating away - similar to how Xaku’s “Deny” and Hydroid’s Tentacle Swarm hold enemies in position.
- Sentient Wrath no longer has a target cap (previously capped at 16 targets).
- Sentient Wrath now inflicts Tau Damage, instead of Impact, onto affected/lifted enemies.
- Sentient Wrath deals 2,000 base Tau Damage with 35% Damage Vulnerability with a base 10 second Duration,
- Sentient Wrath will inflict a singular Tau Status Effect onto affected enemies.
- Increased the casting speed of Sentient Wrath by 25%.
- Additionally, you can now re-cast it even if the first “wave” hasn’t finished traveling.
- If the recast hits enemies, the stun duration is reset.
- Additionally, you can now re-cast it even if the first “wave” hasn’t finished traveling.
- Due to the buffs Sentient Wrath received, the Helminth version will only hit in a frontal cone and will not apply any Tau Status Effects against enemies.
Lethal Progeny Changes:
Caliban can now summon three types of Sentients: Ortholysts, Summulysts, and Conculysts (the OG). All Sentient summons will, naturally, adapt to incoming enemy damage. You can only summon a set of Sentients at a time, so no mixing of 1 Conculyst, 2 Ortholysts, or one of each Sentient type.
Each Sentient comes with its own unique mechanic. Conculysts will match Caliban’s Fusion Strike with one of their own, Ortholysts will deliver a rain of guaranteed Tau Status across the battlefield, and Summulyst summons will try to ensure your Shields are never depleted.
Here’s how Lethal Progeny and each of its Sentient summons work now:
- When you cast to summon Caliban’s Sentients, you’ll summon all 3 of the chosen Sentients with one cast instead of previously needing to cast three separate times. Players can now recast the ability to refresh their Sentient count or summon different Sentient types. Recasting will replace existing Sentients and summon new ones where Caliban is aiming.
- Conculysts
- As Melee-oriented summons, the Concluysts retain their role as the primary damage dealers of Caliban’s trifecta.
- Conculysts “Tornado” Ability lasts 10 seconds with a cooldown of 4 seconds.
- The Tornado now does 1000 damage, up from the previous 50 damage.
- Their Tornado Ability cooldown and Damage does not scale with any Mods.
- Concluysts will now cast Fusion Strike alongside Caliban for 0.5x the effectiveness of Caliban’s Fusion Strike.
- Conculysts will target their Fusion Strike wherever Caliban’s was fired.
- Conculysts’ target priority has been slightly reduced for enemies.
- Conculysts target priority was lowered to incentivize using the Summulyst as the premiere distraction noodle!
- Target priority, or threat level, defines how the AI decides what’s the most important target to fight on the field at any given time, where the AI will attack the NPC with the highest target priority
- Unchanged: Caliban can summon up to 3 Conculysts at a time.
- As Melee-oriented summons, the Concluysts retain their role as the primary damage dealers of Caliban’s trifecta.
- Ortholysts
- As long-ranged summons, the Ortholysts inflict only Tau Damage and Tau Status Effects onto the field en masse between their two modes: free-moving and stationary artillery forms!
- Ortholysts’ default weapon has a 100% Status Chance, guaranteeing Tau Status Effects
- The Ortholysts “Artillery” weapon has 300% Status Chance.
- The Status Chance of the Ortholysts won’t scale with any Mods.
- Ortholysts’ default weapon has a 100% Status Chance, guaranteeing Tau Status Effects
- Ortholysts’ target priority matches that of Conculysts.
- Caliban can summon up to 3 Ortholysts at a time.
- As long-ranged summons, the Ortholysts inflict only Tau Damage and Tau Status Effects onto the field en masse between their two modes: free-moving and stationary artillery forms!
- Summulysts:
- Summulysts are portal-based Sentients that summon Shield-regenerating Choralysts that’ll aggro and distract your foes, while recharging you and your allies’ Shields.
- Summulysts will summon 6 Choralysts. These Choralysts, when killed, will be immediately replaced if the Summulyst is still active.
- Choralysts have the highest possible target priority, ensuring enemies target them whenever possible instead of the players.
- Caliban can summon 1 Summulyst at a time.
- Summulysts are portal-based Sentients that summon Shield-regenerating Choralysts that’ll aggro and distract your foes, while recharging you and your allies’ Shields.
- His Sentients will benefit from the 10x Damage multiplier against all non-Sentient Factions/enemies whenever a Sentient unit deals Sentient Damage.
- Sentients have a base Duration of 45 seconds, up from 25 seconds.
- Scales with Ability Duration Mods.
- Sentients continue to scale with Ability Strength with the following:
- Damage Multiplier (2.5x base)
- Health Multiplier (2x base)
- Rank (30 base)
- Conculysts, Ortholoysts, and Summulysts will restore Shields at 25 Shields per second (scaling with Ability Strength).
- Summulysts will be the most effective as the Summulyst and 6 Choralysts will all recharge your Shields!
- The range to receive the Shield recharge scales with Ability Range!
- Removed collision on summons so Caliban’s Progeny does not get in his way, similar to Nekros’ Shadows.
- You can now see your Sentient summons through walls, similar to how Khora can see Venari.
- Squad members will see Caliban’s Sentients with some dithering to make it clear they’re allies!
Fusion Strike Changes:
- Changed damage type from Blast to Tau and inflicts Tau Status Effects.
- The stream itself deals a base of 15,000 Tau Damage per second, scaling with Ability Strength. In addition to the Beam dealing damage, struck enemies will explode with further damage after the cast!
- The Convergence Explosion deals 750 base Tau Damage, scaling with Ability Strength.
- The Enemy Detonation deals 5,000 base Tau Damage, scaling with Ability Strength.
- The stream has a Status Chance of 20%, unaffected by Mods.
- The stream itself deals a base of 15,000 Tau Damage per second, scaling with Ability Strength. In addition to the Beam dealing damage, struck enemies will explode with further damage after the cast!
- Enemies can now be damaged by more than one Fusion Strike beam per cast.
- Defense Reduction (Armor + Shields) strip occurs only once.
- 50% Defense Reduction at 100 Ability Strength or 100% at 200 Ability Strength.
- Fusion Strike’s beam will strip defenses alongside the radial field left behind (best of both worlds!)
- Fusion Strike’s beam now can deal damage multiple times in one instance (meaning the Beam can proc multiple damage ticks in one activation) to support damaging enemies more than once.
- Defense Reduction (Armor + Shields) strip occurs only once.
- Reduced the player’s turning speed when casting Fusion Strike.
- The intention was to ensure that Fusion Strike felt like a committed cast, while helping the player strike enemies effectively due to the beam's increased lethality.
- Casting Fusion Strike now makes Caliban immune from damage for the duration of the cast.
Hotfix 35.5.7 (2024-04-17)
- Line of Sight (LoS) Changes & Fixes
As mentioned in our last Hotfix 35.5.6, the team continues to address and assess player reports of further LoS issues. While the quality and consistency of LoS checks has improved significantly, we're still not 100% satisfied and sometimes the results are still unpredictable. The team is investigating LoS checks at large occasionally having odd interactions with terrain, enemies, etc. which is causing inconsistencies in the checks. We are looking to have this resolved in the next Cert update (more info on what that means here).
For today, we have made LoS improvements to the following Warframe abilities:
- Caliban’s Sentient Wrath (Rendered Check)
- In addition to rendered checking, we’ve also made improvements to address issues where LoS checks would fail on clearly visible enemies that are behind terrain.
Hotfix 35.5.3 (2024-04-04)
- Fixed Caliban’s Fusion Strike visual radius fading out before the actual duration expires.
Update 35.5 (2024-03-27)
- Fixed Clients being unable to see the lingering VFX from Caliban’s Fusion Strike ability.
Update 34.0 (2023-10-18)
- 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:
CALIBAN
Health: Base Rank - 170 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300)
Shields: Base Rank - 450 (from 175) / Max Rank - 650 (from 525)
Armor: Base Rank - 290 (from 275)
Energy: Base Rank - 140 (from 125) / Max Rank - 190 (from 188)
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!
