Empowered Blades

Empowered Blades is an aura mod that increases status chance and status damage (where applicable) of charged melee attacks, at the cost of draining a portion of shields per hit.

StatsEdit

Rank	Status chance/Damage bonus	Shield Drain per hit	Cost *
0	+10%	15	-2
1	+20%	30	-3
2	+30%	45	-4
3	+40%	60	-5
4	+50%	75	-6
5	+60%	90	-7

* Aura mods increase the amount of Mod Capacity

AcquisitionEdit

Empowered Blades is dropped by the Feyarch Specter, available upon anointing a Silver Grove shrine with the Sunrise Apothic.

NotesEdit

• Status damage will only apply to Toxin, Gas, Heat, and Slash procs.
• This Aura currently does not affect Glaives, Gunblades, nor the Zenistar disc.

• The bonuses to status chance and damage are multiplicative. A weapon with a base status chance of 10% would gain an additional 6%.

TipsEdit

• Useful on Warframes with very high shields such as Hildryn,  Frost Prime and  Mag Prime, or those with no shields at all like Inaros and Nidus as the shield reduction will have little to no effect.
