Mechanics[edit | edit source]
- Upon performing a mid-air attack while Aim Gliding after bullet jumping or double jumping, an infested projectile will be launched towards the player's target.
- Two projectiles can be launched before touching the ground by bullet jumping, melee attacking during aim glide, then double jumping and melee attacking during aim glide again.
- Chroma's Dragon's Flight passive can allow for a third projectile to be launched, using his additional jump prior to another melee attack during aim glide.
- Two projectiles can be launched before touching the ground by bullet jumping, melee attacking during aim glide, then double jumping and melee attacking during aim glide again.
- Base projectile damage, critical chance, critical damage, and status chance depends on the Zaw's Stat and equipped mods on the Zaw.
- Has multiple damage instances; projectile direct-hit, explosion and direct-hit DoT
- Projectile direct-hit does 2x the Zaw's damage, with a damage distribution of 33%
Impact, 33%
Puncture, and 33%
Slash damage.
- The explosion does 5x the Zaw's damage, with a damage distribution of 100%
Viral damage.
- The direct-hit DoT does 1x the Zaw's damage, with a damage distribution of 100%
Blast damage.
- Projectile direct-hit does 2x the Zaw's damage, with a damage distribution of 33%
- Explosion has a forced
Impact proc.
- Direct hits on enemies makes the projectile stick to them, dealing damage and inflicting a forced
Impact proc each second for 4 seconds, after which it explodes on the 5th second.
- The projectile can proc
Berserker.
- The projectile can proc
Shattering Impact on a direct hit, however it will not proc on the explosion.
- The projectile can be launched with a heavy attack by sliding in the air while heavy attacking. It does not gain any additional damage when launched in this way.
- The effects of
Killing Blow do not apply, same with any crit mod that has a 2x bonus on heavy attacks. (e.g.
True Steel) (this statement might be incorrect, some limited testing seems to indicate these effects do apply when launched in this way.)
- Windup speed does not shorten the attack animation.
- The effects of
- The damage from the projectile is affected by stealth damage multipliers.
- The damage of the projectile is increased after traveling 30 meters, indicated by a small burst of energy at that point. The amount of increase depends on the rank of the Arcane.
- The projectile can be controlled by
Ivara's
Navigator ability, but the projectile will disappear in the air a few seconds after hitting an enemy or
Volt's
Electric Shield if the ability is still in use.
- If controlled by Navigator, the projectile will not gain the damage bonus after traveling 30m.
- The projectile will not be redirected by
Mag's
Magnetize ability.
- The damage can't be increased with Madurai's Void Strike.
- The speed of the projectile is affected by attack speed mods and buffs. The base attack speed of the Zaw has no influence on the projectile speed of Exodia Contagion.
- Projectile hits do not count towards the Melee Combo Counter.
- The projectile is not affected by range mods.
- The range of the explosion is an 8-meter radius.
- The projectile is affected by gravity but is otherwise not range-limited.

- Trading tax scales with rank:
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The projectile launched takes on the appearance of the Zaw's Strike, which will embed itself on the first surface it hits before disappearing after a few seconds.
- If a skin is equipped, it will take on the appearance of the full weapon (minus the sheath for Nikanas).
- Installing this arcane (or Exodia Epidemic) on a Zaw will give the Zaw's Links an infested visual appearance.
- Unlike other Exodia Arcanes, Exodia Contagion depicts a symbol, instead of inscription.
- Prior to Update 24.6, Exodia Contagion was purchasable as a blueprint with the following requirements to build:

Media[edit | edit source]
Patch History[edit | edit source]
- Fixed Exodia Contagion no longer inheriting base critical chance, critical damage, and status chance from equipped Zaw.
- (Undocumented) fixed clients not dealing Blast damage on the initial explosion.
- (Undocumented) Projectile does not inherit base critical chance, critical damage, and status chance stats from equipped Zaw. Now has a fixed 20% critical chance and 2.0x critical multiplier. Projectile no longer explodes on final tick.
- Fixed Exodia Contagionās projectiles being invisible when a Skin is equipped.
- Fixed Exodia Contagion projectiles ignoring Limboās Rift status of enemies/the player, letting it hit enemies across the Rift.
- This allowed for Limbo to attack from a position of invulnerability, where normally damage cannot cross the Rift unless itās a Warframe ability of some kind. We intentionally did not fix this until after the Scarlet Spear event, but it is a bug.
- Fixed Volt's Shield causing Exodia Contagion's projectile to never explode.
- Fixed Exodia Contagion not triggering if your weapon is out of Ammo.
- Replaced Arcane Blueprints with Arcanes in Operational Supply Offerings meaning that Arcanes no longer need to be built.
- Players that had previous Arcane Blueprints in Inventory were crafted on patch login for free.
- Exodia Contagion now requires you to be Aim Gliding to launch the Infested energy projectile.
- Fixed Zaws not applying negative damage modifiers to projectiles launched from the Exodia Contagion Arcane.
- Exodia Contagionās Infested projectile 30 meter damage multiplier now also takes into account your combo multiplier.
- Fixed Exodia Contagion's interaction with Covert Lethality, resulting in the +100 damage being applied to the projectile damage multiplier instead of the base projectile damage.
- Fixed the range increase from Iron Vault scaling with Exodia Contagion.
- Fixed Ivaraās Navigator causing Exodia Contagion projectiles to get stuck floating in the air.
- Fixed not being able to control Exodia Contagion projectiles with Ivaraās Navigator (enjoy, DK).
- Introduced
