Changes: Entropy

Revision as of 17:37, 12 August 2022

Entropy is an effect associated with the Cephalon Suda Syndicate, that is activated by acquiring 1,000 affinity with a Syndicate Weapon or a weapon equipped with a Weapon Augment Mod, with a 30 second cooldown period between activations.

When triggered:

All enemies within 25 meters of the player receive 1,000 Magnetic damage and guaranteed Status Effect.
The player recovers 25% of their base (unmodded) Energy.
Base (unmodded) Energy increases by 25% for 30 seconds.

Source	Amount
Synoid Gammacor	+1
Synoid Simulor	+1

Affinity towards an entropy trigger only builds up as long as the weapon is being held and receiving affinity, but the source of that affinity need not be the weapon itself. Affinity generated by allies, objectives, affinity orbs or the casting of warframe powers all count towards the weapon's affinity and thus charge the entropy trigger.
The burst of damage has the potential to deal 1,750 damage to shields, since magnetic damage has a +75% bonus to them, completely removing shields on all corpus until higher levels in one burst.
- Inversely, heavy Grineer with alloy armor will be hardly affected by the blast as their armor reduces magnetic damage dealt to them by 50%.

The fact that entropy weapons can charge and trigger while held but without ever needing to be fired make them uniquely suited to loadouts that prioritize using abilities over weapons, as merely holding the weapon provides additional energy generation. This energy is very useful for caster builds and comes without a tradeoff; such builds will be spending their time casting abilities instead of shooting their weapons anyway, and most other weapons provide no benefit if never actually fired.
- Equipping one weapon with entropy gives the player the option of switching to that weapon and generating bonus energy during times when the player is expecting to mostly rely on casting abilities, and switching back to their other weapon when that weapon is needed. For example, a Nidus may carry the Synoid Gammacor while outputting damage via their abilities, and switch to a Vectis Prime if a priority target presents itself outside of reach.
Extra energy fuels the mod Quick Thinking for stronger defenses.

Syndicate weapons or Mod procs with Entropy or Blight will now restore 25% of the Warframe’s base energy stat, instead of restoring 25% of the players max energy.
