Notes

• When blocking, threads of energy similar to Trinity Trinity's Link Link will extend to all allies in range, using your warframe's energy color.
  • The mod's effect will only link to other players, and not Companions, objectives, or AI-controlled allies.
• Damage absorbed with the use of Electomagnetic Shielding will be converted into health for Iron Skin Iron Skin and Warding Halo Warding Halo.
• The mod's effective range cannot be modified by Reach Reach or Primed Reach Primed Reach.
• Many abilities may be used without interrupting the link, as long as the Block is held.
• For reasons unknown, any Radiation Damage Radiation damage or procs that allies receive will be reduced (and in the proc's case, nullified), but the damage or proc will not be transferred to the user.
  • If an ally is suffering a Radiation Damage Radiation proc before a link is created, then the user will also suffer the proc once the link takes hold.
• Damage redirected to you does activate abilities that reflect damage, such as Trinity Trinity's Link Link or Mesa Mesa's Shatter Shield Shatter Shield.
• Damage redirected to your Health will trigger Rage Rage and/orHunter Adrenaline Hunter Adrenaline's energy conversion.

Tips

• This mod is generally best suited for tanky Warframes who can take the increased punishment. Since status effects will also be transferred to the user instead of their allies, it would be wise to equip Rapid Resilience Rapid Resilience, appropriate Arcane Enhancements, or use a Warframe who can render themselves immune to status effects.
  • Trinity Trinity with a Ability Duration-oriented build is able to negate quite a bit of damage and remove statuses with Blessing Blessing.
  • Oberon Oberon is able to heal himself with Renewal Renewal and remove statuses via Hallowed Ground Hallowed Ground as well.
  • An Assimilate Assimilate-equipped Nyx Nyx is able to reroute damage into her Absorb Absorb.
  • Chroma Chroma can use electromagnetic shielding to build Vex Armor Vex Armor faster.
  • Inaros Inaros can use Negation Swarm Negation Swarm to negate status effects.
  • This mod can be used to help build up Iron Skin Iron Skin health on Rhino Rhino.
• Medi-Ray Medi-Ray can be helpful in keeping up a bit of the damage you take to your health, as long as your Sentinel is alive.

Trivia

• This mod, along with the other Executioner mods, are the second set mods to feature non-generic enemies on the mod card, the first being Vengeful Revenant Vengeful Revenant.
• Executioner Gorth himself uses an effect similar to the mod, just without needing to be using his melee, the links not being present, and while making himself completely invulnerable.

Bugs

• The threads of energy do not appear if an allied Shield Osprey is bolstering your shields.
