CODEX

Compose her song and then conduct the mighty Mandachord, turning bass, beat and melody into an anthem of devastation.

This is Octavia, the melodic, the maestro.

If music be the food of death... play on, Tenno.

—Lotus

Release Date: March 24th, 2017

Rhythmic and imaginative, Octavia conducts her myriad of siren songs and ambient anthems through the mystical Mandachord. Entice enemies with musical instruments that inflict melodic maladies, as the Tenno chorus synchronize their rhythm to sound the drums of war.

Octavia was composed in Update 20.0 (2017-03-24)

Abilities 

	1 25	Mallet Rhythmically beats damage into nearby enemies and draws their fire. Damage inflicted on the Mallet increases its lethality. Introduced in Update 20.0 (2017-03-24)	Strength:0.1x (damage multiplier)
			Duration:20 s
			Range:4 m

• Info
• Augment

Info

• Octavia throws a spherical music device in an arc toward the direction she aims. Upon impact, the device deploys into the Mallet which hovers in place for 20 seconds. The Mallet is an invulnerable hovering orb that continuously plays percussive music, absorbing all enemy damage hitting its energy mass and redirects them in pulses according to the Mandachord. Damage absorbed is accumulated and stored briefly before diminishing over time. Stored damage is converted into  Blast damage, multiplied by 0.1x, and rhythmically dealt to all enemies within a radius of 4 meters from the Mallet.
  • Mallet's music is in tune with the Percussion section of the Mandachord, drawing from the preset musical notes to determine the percussive aura's damage strength and intervals.
• When Mallet and  Resonator are both active, Resonator will reroute toward the Mallet and carry it around.
  • Mallet will be dropped to the ground when Resonator expires.
• When Mallet is hovering over an  Amp field, Mallet's damage and range are doubled.
• Mallet can be recast while active to create a new Mallet. Octavia is limited to only 1 active Mallet at a time.
• Casting Mallet is not a One-Handed Action and interrupts other actions, but allows movement.
• Mallet will visually emit sound bars from its core to beat-match Percussion notes. Sound bars enlarge and shrink based on Percussion, Bass, and Melody music in the environment.
  • Percussion bars appear from a horizontal ring around the Mallet core, while Bass and Melody bars appear from diagonal rings that layer on top the Mallet when Resonator and Metronome are active and nearby.
• Mallet's core and percussive aura borders are affected by the chosen Warframe energy color. The percussive aura is briefly visible to allies when Mallet is cast before fading away, and is constantly visible to Octavia herself.

			Duration:20 s (ability duration) 10 s (buff duration)
			Range:8 m

• Info

Info

• Octavia raises the volume on her surround sound speakers, producing a melodic musical aura with a radius of 8 meters for 20 seconds. Octavia and her allies gain an 50% Armor bonus while inside the melodic aura.
  • Metronome's music is in tune with the Melody section of the Mandachord, drawing from the preset musical notes to determine the melodic aura's note intervals.
• While inside the melodic aura, Octavia and her allies can perform specific actions in sync to the melodic music to gain various Sync Buffs that can be active simultaneously:

• Synchronize
• Vivace
• Nocturne
• Opera
• Forte

How to Synchronize with Metronome:

• Each line of Melody notes is visually represented as a concentric ring of light, which begins at the edge of the melodic aura and shrinks toward Octavia’s feet, where the ring disappears as the sound of the notes are played.
• In order to gain buffs, players must time their actions to sync with the moment a concentric ring is centered on Octavia, as the sound of the notes are played. A flash of light will appear below the player upon a successful sync.
  • Each player must perform actions individually to gain buffs. Sync buffs are gained per-player and are not shared between allies in range.
• The amount of notes on one line of the Melody section on the Mandachord determines the brightness of the concentric rings.

Octavia and her allies can perform jumps (default Space ) to gain synchronize percentages from 0% to 100%. Once the synchronize percentage reaches 100%, the player gains the Vivace buff which increases movement speed by 20% for 10 seconds.

• Synchronize percentages can lower or raise depending on the player’s timing.
• Synchronize percentage is displayed as an icon with the current stored percentage beside the health and shield indicators on the HUD. Once synchronized, the Vivace buff icon will also be displayed with the remaining buff duration beneath and speed bonus percentage at the top-right of the icon.

Double jump (default press Space  twice), wall climb (face wall and press Space ), and wall jump (face wall + W  + Space ) can also be used to synchronize.

Players can repeatedly jump, double jump, wall climb, and wall jump to reapply the Vivace buff while in range of Metronome.

Octavia and her allies can crouch (default Ctrl ) to gain synchronize percentages from 0% to 100%. Once the synchronize percentage reaches 100%, the player gains the Nocturne buff which grants invisibility for 10 seconds.

• Synchronize percentages can lower or raise depending on the player’s timing.
• Synchronize percentage is displayed as an icon with the current stored percentage beside the health and shield indicators on the HUD. Once synchronized, the Nocturne buff icon will also be displayed with the remaining buff duration beneath the icon.

Slide (default W  + Ctrl ) can also be used to synchronize.

Players can repeatedly crouch and slide to reapply the Nocturne buff while in range of Metronome.

Octavia and her allies can fire their ranged weapons (default LMB ) to gain synchronize percentages from 0% to 100%. Once the synchronize percentage reaches 100%, the player gains the Opera buff, which applies 20% Multishot to ranged weapons for 10 seconds.

• Synchronize percentage can lower or raise depending on the player’s timing.
• Synchronize percentage is displayed as an icon with the current stored percentage beside the health and shield indicators on the HUD. Once synchronized, the Opera buff icon will also be displayed with the remaining buff duration beneath and multishot bonus percentage at the top-right of the icon.

Alternate-fire or secondary attacks on select weapons are not known to be able to gain multishot from Opera (requires testing).

Players can repeatedly fire weapons to reapply the Opera buff while in range of Metronome.

Octavia and her allies can use melee weapons (default E ) to gain synchronize percentages from 0% to 100%. Once the synchronize percentage reaches 100%, the player gains the Forte buff, which applies 20% bonus damage to melee weapon for 10 seconds.

• Synchronize percentage can lower or raise depending on the player’s timing.
• Synchronize percentage is displayed as an icon with the current stored percentage beside the health and shield indicators on the HUD. Once synchronized, the Forte buff icon will also be displayed with the remaining buff duration beneath and melee damage bonus percentage at the top-right of the icon.

Charge attack (default hold E ) can also be used to gain Forte.

Players can repeatedly attack with melee weapons to reapply the Forte buff while in range of Metronome.

Metronome can be recast while active to refresh its duration. On recast, existing synchronize percentages will not carry over and will be reset to 0%.

Casting Metronome is not a One-Handed Action and interrupts other actions, but allows movement.

When Octavia is standing on higher elevations or objects, the concentric rings of light from the melodic aura will partially fade depending on the surrounding terrain to allow better visibility.

Concentric ring color and Nocturne cloak effect are affected by Octavia’s chosen Warframe energy color.

Metronome affects the visuals and audio of any nearby  Mallet and  Resonator belonging to Octavia herself.

	4 100	Amp Draws power from the decibel level of sound in the area and uses it to amplify a damage buff for Octavia and her allies. It also doubles the damage and range of nearby Mallets. Introduced in Update 20.0 (2017-03-24)	Strength:0.2x (min damage multiplier) 0.5x (max damage multiplier)
			Duration:30 s
			Range:14 m

• Info

Info

• Octavia throws an amplifier device in an arc toward the direction she aims. Upon impact, the amplifier transforms the ground into a dance floor, encompassing the surrounding terrain in a field of sound sensors with a radius of 14 meters for 30 seconds. While standing inside the Amp field, Octavia and her allies gain a scaling weapon damage multiplier with a minimum of 0.2x to a maximum of 0.5x, depending on the sound level in the environment.
  • Sounds originating from gunfire, footsteps, alarms, melee strikes, abilities such as  Mallet,  Resonator, and  Metronome, and many more can affect Amp's damage multiplier.
  • Amp damage multiplier is displayed as an icon with the current damage multiplier in percentage, beside the shield and health indicator on the top-right of the HUD.
• When Mallet is hovering over an Amp field from any Octavia player, the percussive aura will double in damage and range.
• Can be recast while active to create a new Amp field. Octavia is limited to only 1 active Amp field at a time.
• Casting Amp is not a One-Handed Action as it interrupts other actions, but allows movement.
• Amp field sound sensors visually produce sound bars that enlarge, shrink, stretch vertically, horizontally and diagonally depending on Percussion, Bass, and Melody music from Octavia's other abilities.
  • Sound sensors will only visibly react to the owner Octavia's abilities and not from other Octavia players in a squad. This is a visual effect only, as the sound level in the environment does affect any Amp field's damage multiplier.
• The thrown amplifier device serves both as a visual anchor point and generator for the Amp field.
