Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. Damage is one of the three physical damage types. It's highly effective against armor and thus ideal against the Grineer, but the damage type suffers penalties against Corpusshielding.
Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. Damage applies the status effectWeakened, causing the victim to inflict 30% less damage over a duration of 6 seconds. Affected enemies will have a yellow aura.

These weapons deal more than a majority of their physical damage as Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist.. The damage ratio is important for physical damage status effects, because the game weights the likelihood of which proc occurs according to physical damage ratio. Hence, these weapons proc Weakened more than Knockback or Bleed.
Excalibur expends 75Energy to summon javelins against enemies within a radius of 15 / 18 / 22 / 25 meters. Excalibur then drives his weapon into the ground, launching the javelins into their targets. Each javelin inflicts 500 / 650 / 800 / 1000 damage evenly distributed between Impact, Puncture, adn Slash, with a guaranteed Slash proc and Stagger.
While javelins do notpunch through objects or enemies, their striking position is optimized to ensure a successful hit on their targets when they spawn. This allows the javelins to bypass obstacles in the environment including walls, cover, and Grineer Shield Lancer shields.
Radial Javelin will not target enemies behind obstacles in the environment unless Excalibur has line of sight, or unless the enemy is aware of Excalibur within a short period of time (e.g., an enemy that spots Excalibur and runs out of view can still be targeted by Radial Javelin if the ability is used within a small time frame).
Loki expends 25energy to create a holographic decoy within a range of 100 meters at the location on the aiming reticle. With heightened Threat Level, 400Shield and 200Health points increased by 15% of all enemy shields and health within 15 meters of the decoy when cast, the decoy will draw enemy fire and last for a maximum of 7 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds or until destroyed by enemy attacks.
The decoy's shots do not inflict damage. However, they still count as hits for purposes such as Arcane Strike.
Only 1 decoy can be available at a time. Deploying a new decoy while one is already active will remove the previous decoy from the field.
If enough damage is done to the decoy, it will collapse and disappear.
If aimed at a ceiling or the sky, the decoy will appear directly below the aimed point, allowing it to be placed in higher platforms.
If placed in a position where enemies cannot reach:
Within a few seconds Infested enemies will swap their aggro to another target.
Grineer and Corpus enemies will keep trying to aim at the Decoy until it disappears even if they cannot see or hit it, making it extremely effective if placed in good cover against enemy fire.
Decoy has a tendency to fall through certain props on the map. This means a decoy can be placed on top of something, for example: a pillar, and it will sometimes fall through it, being protected from within the prop.
Decoy's shields regenerate over time.
Has a cast time of ~0.6 seconds.
Subsuming Loki to the Helminth will offer Decoy and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
Damage Decoy is a Warframe Augment Mod for Loki's Decoy ability that allows Decoy to be cast onto an enemy, turning that enemy hostile to everything and inciting former allies to attack while having their damage reflected, amplified, and additionally succumbed to 5 random status effects.
Savior Decoy is a Warframe Augment Mod for Loki that allows Decoy to absorb any fatal damage dealt to the player before switching places, along with passively increasing Decoy's Casting Speed.
Enemies will focus on the decoy if it is deployed closer to them than Loki is, allowing Loki to deal heavy damage or escape an area without being targeted.
Decoy's defenses do not increase at higher levels or with Ability Strength, making it very weak at high levels if not placed in cover.
Decoy can be used in conjunction with Switch Teleport, essentially allowing teleportation to any point where Decoy can be placed. It should be noted that sometimes there is no switch and loki is just teleporting close to decoy, so careful placing is required sometimes.
The hologram blocks lasers from Laser Barriers, allowing passage through when deployed directly on top of them (as they only emit from one side).
Decoy can be used as means to find or lure out hiding enemies.
The copy will only start firing its Lato if there is an enemy close enough to be attracted, but it will not stop firing once all affected enemies are dead. Keep this in mind when using Decoy to scout enemy locations.
Can also be used to hold doors open, which can be useful when the following area is full of enemies, allowing players to engage them from a safer distance.
Limbo can put the decoy in the rift, making it completely invincible against enemies not also in the rift, although this eliminates its ability to apply procs on enemies.
Can obtain bonus shielding from Shield Osprey Specters, adding some shielding while increasing the shield recharge rate and delay of the decoy. The Specter will also automatically prioritize targets like Decoy to protect, just like it will prioritize following other specters. Note that the osprey is terribly weak, and the decoy will attract heavy fire, making the possibility of the specter dying quickly much higher.
Oberon expends 25energy to smite an enemy target with hallowed light up to 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 meters away, dealing 150 / 200 / 300 / 500 damage distributed evenly between Impact and Radiation as well as a guaranteed Knockdown and Radiation status effect.
The affect target emits 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 orb projectiles that seek out enemies within 5 / 7.5 / 10 / 12.5 meters from the main target, over a duration of 12 seconds. Each orb deals 75 / 85 / 100 / 150Radiation damage, plus 15% / 20% / 25% / 35% of the main target's maximum health and shields divided among the number of orbs, as well as a guaranteed Stagger and Puncture status, and a ?%Radiation status chance.
Orb Damage is affected by Vigorous Swap and other modifiers that affect abilities that deal "weapon damage", including damage boosting abilities such as Eclipse.
If there are more orbs than enemies in homing range, the remainder will fire in random directions bouncing off of any environmental surface they touch, locking on to the first enemy which crosses into their homing range.
Multiple orbs from a single cast can hit the same enemy if they travel close enough to the target after bouncing.
Smite is a one-handed ability and as such will not interrupt full actions such as reloading, shooting, or charging weapons.
Subsuming Oberon to the Helminth will offer Smite and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
Smite Infusion is a Warframe Augment Mod for Oberon that allows Smite to be held on cast, creating a wave of energy traveling outward from the user that temporarily grants the caster and nearby allies additional Radiation damage to all attacks.
Try using Smite's guaranteed Radiation proc to misdirect enemies by turning a high-threat target and nearby foes against each other.
Moreover, the additional Puncture proc forces enemies to expend more time fighting against their confused comrade.
Bugs
When affected by the critical chance buff from a Smeeta Kavat's Charm, the orbs will deal orange critical hits, though will only do 0-1 additional damage depending on target. (E.g: level 125 Chargers receive 0 additional damage from the critical hits, but level 125 Bombards receive 1 more damage, tested at 154% Ability Strength.)
Overcome with rage, Valkyr unleashes a pair of energy talons, the Valkyr Talons, as her melee Exalted Weapon. Normal attacks deal 100 / 125 / 200 / 250 damage within 2 meters and all of Valkyr's attacks heal her for 1% / 2% / 4% / 5% of the damage dealt.
Damage is distributed evenly between Impact, Puncture, and Slash.
As an example, with a maxed Pressure Point, Shocking Touch and Intensify, the normal attacks of a rank-3 Hysteria will deal Base Damage × (1 + Damage Mods) × (1 + Elemental Mods) × (1 + Strength Mods) = 250 × (1 + 1.2) × (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 1,358.5 damage.
The mods that can be equipped on and affect Valkyr Talons include:
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.
Hysteria's innate lifesteal is calculated from the total damage of Valkyr's melee attacks after resistances are applied. Hysteria's lifesteal is also additive when combined with other sources of lifesteal
For example, a maxed Life Strike and a rank-3 Hysteria will yield Base Lifesteal + Lifesteal Mods =5% + 20% = 25% lifesteal on heavy hits.
Certain attacks will still push Valkyr away, and shock waves will cause her to bounce into the air. However, these attacks will not force Valkyr to the ground.
Statuses that were already active when Hysteria was cast will not be removed. However, Valkyr will be immune to their damage regardless.
Valkyr emits an aura with a radius of 5 meters around her while Hysteria is active, and 30% of the total damage she ignores is stored. If any enemies within this aura have Line of Sight of Valkyr when Hysteria is deactivated, Valkyr will be dealt 25% of all stored damage as Impact damage.
The aura will continue to grow up to 20 meters and each kill reduces it by 1 meter. The aura cannot be decreased below 5 meters.
Stored damage is calculated from the total damage Valkyr ignores before resistances are applied.
The amount of stored damage can be monitored at the top right of the HUD under Hysteria's ability icon.
Stored damage dealt bypasses shield gating and can kill instantly if too large.
Stored damage is reset upon swapping weapons.
Highlighted enemies become unmarked if Valkyr moves out of range, negating the damage taken when Hysteria expires.
Since enemies need line-of-sight, invisibility prevents the damage.
After activation, a percentage counter will appear on the ability icon. The percentage increases from 0% to 100% over the course of 40 seconds.
Hysteria costs 25energy to activate, then consumes 2.5 energy per second at 0% while active. The cost will increase by an additional 2.5 until it caps out at 15 energy per second at 100%. Hysteria will remain active until either Valkyr's energy is depleted, or the ability is deactivated by casting it again (default 4 ).
Hysteria's energy drain is not converted into shields by Augur Mods.
Hysteria is affected by and can trigger Warframe arcanes, Exodia Might , and Melee Crescendo (even though the benefit from exodia might is minimal and it does not share the same combo counter as the melee weapon thus not benefiting directly from Melee Crescendo).
While Hysteria is active, Valkyr can cast other abilities and use primary and secondary weapons. Switching weapons will disable Hysteria's effects, including making her vulnerable to damage again; it will also pause the energy cost increase but will continue to drain energy at the current rate.
Hysteria comes installed with its own unique stance. Additional combos will be unlocked as Hysteria increases in rank.
Hysteria is a unique Stance exclusive to Valkyr Talons that can only be acquired and used by activating Valkyr's fourth ability, Hysteria. This Stance overrides the Stance on any currently equipped melee weapon for as long as Hysteria remains active.
A "sweep attack" is an arcing melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the edge of the blade (the length of obround melee hitbox).
A "thrust attack" is a melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the tip of the blade (the rounded edge of obround melee hitbox).
A "360/spin attack" is a sliding sweep attack that hits targets around the player (not always in a 360° arc, but is usually above 180°).
A "direct slam attack" is a melee strike that hits a single target at the epicenter of a slam attack.
A "radial slam attack" is the area-of-effect component of the melee slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod.
A "ranged attack" is any melee attack that launches a ranged projectile or can hit targets beyond melee range.

Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single-target DPS calculations.
Note that hits marked as "Radial Slam Attack" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in Avg Dmg Multi/s calculations.
Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second.
Each tile marking in stance preview gifs are 2m apart.
Combos labeled with an asterisk (*) are shared between weapons within the same weapon type.
Enraged is a Warframe Augment Mod for Valkyr's Hysteria that increases its damage and critical chance but fixes its duration to 15 seconds and adds a matching cooldown. The base Energy cost is also increased to 50, while the Energy drain over time is removed.
There may be a dark red hue for the duration of Hysteria, making it difficult to see enemies. This is especially problematic if Infested Parasites are nearby.
Turning 'Color Correction' off in Options > Display can alleviate this issue.
Her invulnerability can be taken advantage of in reviving teammates in exchange for consuming energy and not attacking enemies with her powerful claws.
This can also be used to escape powerful opponents at the middle point of this ability. Allowing greater hit and run tactics.
It's preferable to use Steel Charge over Growing Power when modding for pure damage as the former adds more damage to Hysteria than the latter.
It's recommended to activate Melee Auto-targeting System in the options as Valkyr's awkward attack animations may miss a lot.
Players who suffer low FPS (Frames per second) may want to avoid attack speed boosts, such as Warcry, while using Hysteria. High attack speeds can result in a loss of DPS as melee attacks are "semi-automatic".
Heavy Attacks in Hysteria open enemies to Finishers, allowing you to reliably use the damage boost without spending energy on her Paralysis ability.
This finisher also knocks enemies down, allowing for a successive ground finisher for a quick burst of high damage.
Bugs
Using Hysteria the moment you are downed by enemies will cause you to bug. Sometimes, you will only be able to use your actual melee weapon, but it will swing as though it is your claws; Other times you will be able to use your other weapons, and all while being invincible. You must wait until the effect ends for the bug to clear.
Attacks outside the vulnerability radius of Hysteria are still counted to the damage received in the Hysteria status, however these additional points do no effect at the end of the duration.
If only a melee weapon is equipped in the player's loadout, casting Hysteria while holding either a Codex or Synthesis Scanner will cause Hysteria's attacks to instead use the equipped melee's quick-attacks, while also rendering both combos and blocking unusable.
