| Focus 2.0 since Update 31.5 (2022-04-27) |
Focus (version 3.0) refers to the unlocking of a Tenno's true abilities, guided by the principles of the Five Great Tenno Schools.
Since its predecessor Focus 2.0, in addition to reworking many passives, each School has gained two unique castable abilities, Focus Point costs of Ways were normalized, and the Pool capacity needed to equip Ways and Way-Bounds has since been removed and refunded into 
Radiant Eidolon Shards.
Activation[]
|
5 | 
|
PS4: L1 + R1 XB1: LB + RB |
Upon completion of The Second Dream quest, players become able to perform Transcendence. When activated, an invulnerable projection of the Tenno Operator (along with a powerful Void Beam attack) will appear and hover from the Warframe, able to be controlled through basic movement. During Transcendence, the player's Warframe is invulnerable but disabled. Channeling/cast Abilities will remain active however. This state lasts for 10 seconds unless the player manually deactivates it or falls off a platform. Each activation of Transcendence has an initial cooldown time of 180 seconds.
Completing The War Within replaces Transcendence with Transference, which allows the Operator to physically join the battle with an entirely new set of Abilities, Amp and Arcanes.
Acquiring both Transcendence and Transference are required to activate and take advantage of the passive and active Focus powers provided by each school.
A Tenno Operator being projected through Transcendence as the Warframe lies inert on the ground.
Tenno Schools[]
The Tenno Schools represent differing paths of discipline in regards to the Tenno's personality and fighting styles, manifesting in the various abilities that each school provides for the Tenno Operator. Several aspects of the Focus powers are additionally granted towards the active Warframe.
At the end of The Second Dream, players are asked to choose one of the five Tenno Schools available as their starting Focus school. Focus is classified into the five Schools, similar to the modern polarities:
Madurai, School of the Fighters- Vazarin, School of the Protectors
- Naramon, School of the Tacticians
- Unairu, School of the Indomitable
- Zenurik, School of the Arcane
Each school has their own skill tree comprising 10 abilities called Ways, which unlock various passive abilities that can enhance Operator powers and grant improvements to the player's Warframe.
Each Way contains their own ranks which can be increased by spending Focus points into the specified Way. An unlocked and activated Way will be lit up in white, the lines between two Ways signify the outer's dependence on the activation of the inner Way as a pre-requisite to be able to be active.
Unlocking a Way requires a one-time spending of Focus. The player must then confirm the allocation; otherwise they will revert their Focus powers to that of the last-confirmed change. Once confirmed, Focus cannot be reimbursed or retrieved.
Ways are split into Active, Passive and Way-Bounds. Active and Passive ways are only usable in the specific focus school they belong to, and will not have any effect if another school is selected as primary.
Active Ways[]
Active Ways provide improvements or alterations in regards to utility and the Operator's Void powers, namely Void Sling and Void Mode, and grant two castable abilities similar to Warframe Abilities. They are denoted by having a circular icon.
Each school typically has 6 Active Ways in three sets of two.
Passive Ways[]
Passive Ways provide passive enhancements to a Warframe and/or Operator's stats. These ways apply their bonuses from the start of a mission. They are denoted by a hexagonal icon.
Each school typically has 2 Passive Ways, not including Waybounds.
Way-Bounds[]
Way-Bound abilities passively enhance the Operator's base combat stats. Unlike all other Ways, these can be "unbound" from the Focus school they are part of, therefore showing up (and treated as) as an additional unlocked Way in any selected school afterwards.
Unbinding a Way-Bound node requires the node to be upgraded to the last rank, then spending 750,000 Focus points and a 
Brilliant Eidolon Shard.
Each school has two Way-Bound nodes, for a total of 10 Way-Bound nodes available to unlock.

The Focus Trees[]
Initially, only two Focus Ways per school will be available to the player for activation upon completing The Second Dream Quest, both abilities mainly providing passive Warframe bonuses. In order to reveal the rest of the Focus abilities in a particular school, players must have completed both The War Within and Saya's Vigil, and subsequently visit The Quills on Cetus in order to be able to unlock and rank up their Ways.
The Madurai way is a school dedicated to offense. Tenno of the Madurai way are unrelenting fighters, excelling in the arts of ambush and barrage. Those who mastered the Madurai school are granted predatory, savage power.
This school focuses to improve the damage output of Operators and Warframes. Their Way-Bound increases Amp energy pool and regeneration.

- A fully levelled Madurai Operator is capable of:
- Way-Bound: Increases the Operator's Amp and Void Beam energy capacity by 40% and regeneration by 60%

Patch History[]
Hotfix 31.5.7 (2022-05-06)
- Shortened and increased the speed of the Contamination Wave’s casting animation.
Hotfix 31.5.4 (2022-05-02)
- Fixed Madurai’s ‘Power Transfer’ effects not refreshing when re-triggered while active.
- This also fixes the HUD stating that it was refreshed, when it was indeed not.
Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)
- MADURAI
The Madurai way follows the path of Engage the Enemy. Speed and savagery characterized the Madurai school.
Madurai’s abilities focus on granting that offensive edge in combat with a combination of Damage increases, weapon efficiency, and Speed enhancements to recklessly attack your foes.
- 6 new Focus abilities.
- POWER TRANSFER (Passive)
- 100% Amp Critical Damage for 20s on switching to Operator. 50% Casting Speed on switching to Warframe.
- VOID FUEL
- 40% Weapon Efficiency for Operator and Warframe while Void Strike is active.
- CHAINED SLING
- 50% Energy Efficiency on Consecutive Void Slings.
- SLING STRENGTH
- Switching to Warframe after a Chained Sling adds 40% Ability Strength for 20s.
- CONTAMINATION WAVE (Second Ability input)
- Second Ability emits a Void wave lasting 2s that drenches enemies with Void Contamination making them 50% more vulnerable to Operator Damage for 20s.
- Added a mark FX similar to Ash's Bladestorm for Contamination Wave. Each contamination level will display its own marker above enemies.
- Second Ability emits a Void wave lasting 2s that drenches enemies with Void Contamination making them 50% more vulnerable to Operator Damage for 20s.
- DISTILLED CONTAMINATION
- Killing an enemy affected by Contamination Wave makes all affected enemies 25% more vulnerable, while also making the effect last 10s longer. Maximum 4 stacks.

- First Ability consumes all Operator energy to increase damage for 8s. Deal 10% additional damage for every percentage of Operator energy consumed. 40s cooldown.
- eg. 100% of Energy consumed is 1000% damage.
- Why: Old Void Strike’s long charge up time didn’t provide an ideal gameplay experience within the fast paced environment. Players found themselves sitting in Void Mode waiting for the Damage bonus to build up. Now Void Strike no longer needs Void Mode and has instant damage on input. Additionally, Void Strike is Duration based now instead of per shot, meaning damage gets applied to all pellets of a shotgun for instance.
- Tweaked Phoenix Talons:
- Physical Damage and Operator Damage increased by 30%.
- Why: Adding the additional Operator Damage allows for benefits for both Warframe and Operator in the name of synergy.
- Physical Damage and Operator Damage increased by 30%.

Patch History[]
Hotfix 31.5.9 (2022-05-12)
- Fixed Guardian Shell intercepting some player attacks, instead of solely intercepting enemy attacks as intended.
- For example, using weapons like Ferrox or Mausolon was impacting the shield and causing detonation visuals and sometimes staggering or knocking you down.
- This also fixes heat trace weapons (eg. Ignis, Klamora Prism Amp, etc.) and beam weapons being visually reflected by Guardian Shell.
Hotfix 31.5.7 (2022-05-06)
- The following Focus abilities have had their casting animations replaced with a faster variant:
- Void Snare
- Replaced the following Focus abilities’ casting animation with a faster variant that is also upper body only - which now allows for full movement while casting as opposed to staying stationary:
- Guardian Shell
Hotfix 31.5.4 (2022-05-02)
- Operator & Focus Changes:
A mix of both Community feedback and our own internal digging has brought forth some further changes to Operators and the Focus School System. A couple key goals of the Focus School System changes in Update 31.5.0 was to bring all Schools to the same level (while keeping their identifying attributes) and bring synergy to Warframe and Operator gameplay. While we believe we’ve achieved that, there’s still very understandable feedback surrounding the “survivability of Operators” in higher level combat (most noticeable in the Zariman gameplay). It’s unfair to put players in scenarios where Operator gameplay is required, but not provide a general base bump to their survivability.
All that being said, we have made a few changes to provide this bump:
- Added +200% Armor to Enduring Tides. Changed to be a “stacking” modifier instead of “multiplicative” to match math logic used for other buffs, while not making additional Health/Armor increases scale further than desired.
- General Operator & Focus Changes & Fixes:
- Clarified ‘Void Regen's’ description that it applies to squad members not just Operators.
Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)
- VAZARIN
The Vazarin are trained to Counter The Enemy. Those who mastered the Vazarin school maintain constant awareness in order to defend against all aggression.

- SQUAD REGEN
- When Void Regen reaches its maximum, it is applied to Operators within the Affinity Range for 40s.
- VOID SNARE (Second Ability input)
- Second Ability launches a projectile that spins up a vortex trap on impact, or tap Second Ability again to detonate in-flight. Trap lasts 8s. Void Sling through trapped enemies to grant yourself and allies within Affinity Range 100 Health.
- PROTECTIVE SLING
- Allies touched by Void Sling are granted immunity from damage for 5s and healed 60% over 5s for 10 energy cost.
- GUARDIAN SHELL (First Ability input)
- Use First Ability to manifest a barrier on the Operator and allies in Affinity Range. It is invulnerable for 4s when first created and damage inflicted while its invulnerable will be added to its base health of 500.
- GUARDIAN BREAK
- When Guardian Shell breaks, Warframe Shield Regeneration rate is increased by 150% and Regeneration Delay is reduced by 90%, for 8s.
- VOID REGEN
- Enduring Tides and Mending Unity remain unchanged.
- Tweaked Rejuvenating Tides:
- Effect is doubled while controlling your Warframe.
- Why: Additional benefit between using both Warframe and Operator.
- Effect is doubled while controlling your Warframe.
- Tweaked Mending Soul:
- The first 4 Revives are instantaneous. Additional Revives are 100% faster.
- Why: Players would often remark that the ability eventually became useless in longer missions. Mending Soul retains its immediate strengths, but once used up, now offers a more permanent benefit!
- The first 4 Revives are instantaneous. Additional Revives are 100% faster.

Notes[]
- The Unairu school tree requires 9,000,000 Unairu focus points to fully unlock all nodes at max rank, as well as 1,500,000 and 2 Brilliant Eidolon Shards to unbind both Way-bound nodes, for a grand total of 10,500,000 focus.
- A fully levelled Unairu Operator is capable of:
- Way-Bound: On Warframe Bleedout, activating Transference summons Operator, who has 15 seconds to kill enemies to fill a gauge to revive the Warframe; each kill fills the gauge by 30% but gradually drains over time. In this state, Operator gains 100% Amp damage plus an additional 25% per second.
- Passive: Transference grants immunity to slow, Stagger, and Knockdown for 40 seconds. Increases Warframe and Operator armor by 200.
- Warframe Passive: When Operator is downed, pressing the interact button (default X ) summons the Warframe to their location, becoming invulnerable for 4 seconds. Killing an enemy while invulnerable has a 100% chance to remove Transference Static.
- First Ability: Creates an 8 meter field that lasts 30 seconds, removing all enemy shields while they are inside it. Void Slinging out of the field refreshes its duration and increases its radius by 100%.
- Second Ability: Launches a bomb that explodes on impact or reactivation while mid-flight, creating an 8 meter explosion that permanently removes 100% of enemy armor. Each enemy hit has a 100% chance to summon an Unairu Wisp that seeks out the nearest ally in affinity range to boost Operator Amp damage by 100% for 20 seconds.
Patch History[]
Hotfix 31.5.7 (2022-05-06)
- The following Focus abilities have had their casting animations replaced with a faster variant:
- Caustic Strike
- Magnetic Flare
- Fixed script error related to Unairu Wisp.
Hotfix 31.5.4 (2022-05-02)
- Fixed Unairu’s Magnetic Flare being able to completely strip Profit-Taker’s shields in one cast.
- Applied the same logic with Magnetic Flare that is used for other bosses (Eidolons and Ropalolyst for example), since completely stripping Shields in a single Magnetic Flare cast removes a large portion of certain gameplay mechanics in these fights.
Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)
- UNAIRU
The Unairu push themselves to Outlast The Enemy. Those who mastered the Unairu school are granted enhanced damage resistance and damage reflection.

- 100% chance to summon an Unairu Wisp for each enemy hit by Sundering Dissipation that will seek out the nearest ally within Affinity Range and increase their Operator damage by 100% for 20 secs.
- Why: Its new coexistence alongside another Focus ability unifies the 2 together to add another layer that benefits both Warframe and Operator. It also removes having to pick up the Unairu Wisp manually, and will instead find you within Affinity Range.
- 100% chance to summon an Unairu Wisp for each enemy hit by Sundering Dissipation that will seek out the nearest ally within Affinity Range and increase their Operator damage by 100% for 20 secs.

Notes[]
- The Zenurik school tree requires 9,000,000 Zenurik focus points to fully unlock all nodes at max rank, as well as 1,500,000 and 2 Brilliant Eidolon Shards to unbind both Way-bound nodes, for a grand total of 10,500,000 focus.

- Inner Might provides full benefit of casting an ability at no cost.
Patch History[]
Hotfix 31.5.7 (2022-05-06)
- Replaced the following Focus abilities’ casting animation with a faster variant that is also upper body only - which now allows for full movement while casting as opposed to staying stationary:
- Temporal Drag
- Fixed the incorrect values for Inner Might’s Energy cost when Ability Efficiency is not at 100% (equipping Blind Rage for example).
- For most Warframe abilities this was a UI only bug, gameplay values were unaffected. But some really did end up with very wrong energy costs.
Hotfix 31.5.4 (2022-05-02)
- Fixed Xaku being unable to cast the Vast Untime if they have no Energy available while Inner Might is active.
Hotfix 31.5.3 (2022-04-29)

Hotfix 31.5.2 (2022-04-28)
- Fixed Subsumed abilities on Lavos being blocked from casting while Inner Might is active. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1306359-new-zenurik-talent-breaks-lavos/
- Fixed script error related to Inner Might.
Hotfix 31.5.1 (2022-04-27)
- Fixed script error when trying to disarm a target with Disarming Sling.
- Fixed script error related to Temporal Drag.
Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)
- ZENURIK
The Zenurik believed the clearest path to victory was to Dominate the Enemy. Those who master the Zenurik school believe that sheer strength could erase any resistance.
Rest assured the core of Energizing Dash remains as-is with some slight updates. Our goal is to bring other Focus Schools up to the level of Zenurik while still maintaining the School’s tactical benefits.
- 6 new Focus Abilities:
- HARDENED WELLSPRING (First Ability input)
- Tap First Ability inside a Wellspring to increase its size, boost its duration by 20s, and grant 20% Ability Strength to those inside.
- Wellspring is the new name for (the relatively unchanged) Energizing Dash, which you can read about further below.
- TEMPORAL DRAG (Second Ability input)
- Second Ability emits a radial burst slowing any enemy it touches by 80% for 10s.
- TEMPORAL SHOT (Passive)
- Precision head shot damage increased by 100% on enemies afflicted with Temporal Drag.
- DISARMING SLING

- NO QUARTER
- Killing a disarmed enemy increases Operator energy regen rate by 10% for 10s. 4 Max Stacks.
- INNER MIGHT (Passive)
- Allows Abilities to be cast without using Energy or Shields but requires 60s to recharge.
- HARDENED WELLSPRING (First Ability input)
- Void Flow, Void Siphon, and Energy Pulse remain unchanged.
- Energizing Dash is now Wellspring with the slight change of being a direct input Ability (First Ability input) as opposed to a Void Dash.
- This also affects Necramechs.
Focus Points[]
Daily Cap[]
Focus Points have a daily limit of 250,000, which scales at the rate of 5,000 additional cap per Mastery Rank. This limit resets at 00:00 UTC.
Lens[]
- Main article: Focus Lens
Focus points can be spent by accessing the Focus menu on the Orbiter's Transference Room. These can be spent to unlock a new school, unlock or upgrade a node or increase the maximum Way Capacity.
Focus Gain With Focus Lens[]
The school of Focus earned is determined by which school of lens that is installed (e.g. installing a 
Naramon Lens on a Warframe will earn 
Naramon Focus). Focus points as mechanics which pertain Affinity distribution are as follows:
- Warframe-power kills award Affinity directly (100% to the Warframe) without any further distribution, fully converting the Focus through the Lens attached on to the Warframe.
- Kills made by procs of Syndicate Weapon Augments are counted as Warframe kills.
- Weapon kills distribute Affinity evenly (50% to the Warframe, 50% to the weapon) between the killing weapon and Warframe. If the Warframe does not have a Lens installed, this results in a loss since the Warframe is unable to convert excess affinity.
- Allied kills distribute Affinity 25% to the Warframe and the remaining 75% shared among all equipped weapons. If a Rank-30 weapon does not contain a Focus Lens, it will not convert any affinity obtained from ally kills into Focus points.
Lens Effectiveness[]
There are multiple types of Focus Lenses of varying effectiveness available, which can be acquired from different sources.
| Warframe Lens | Weapon Lens | Warframe-Power Kill | Weapon Kill | Ally Kill |
|---|---|---|---|---|

- ↑ Assuming only one weapon equipped for simplicity. Total focus is the same if all weapons have lenses. If some weapons have no lens or a mix of greater and lesser weapon lenses is used an intermediate amount of focus will be earned.
Convergence Orbs[]
Convergence Orbs are yellow glowing pickups that multiply the amount of Affinity converted to Focus by 10x for either a period of 45 seconds, until death, or when the daily Focus cap has been reached, whichever is shortest.
These orbs appear periodically (with a glowing indication of its location and a chime upon its appearance) throughout a mission if the player has brought a weapon or frame equipped with a Focus Lens. They stop spawning once the daily Focus cap has been reached. They will despawn if not picked up within a minute.
Immediately upon expiry, a short summary of Focus points earned during the active period will be displayed on the player's screen.
Eidolon Shards[]
Eidolon Shards can be used to gain focus points beside the use of lenses. The shards are not limited by the daily cap. To convert them go to the focus trees or inside a tree and bring up the menu for consuming shards for focus.
| Name | Focus |
|---|---|
 Synthetic Eidolon Shard |
5,000 |
| Brilliant Eidolon Shard |
25,000 |
| Radiant Eidolon Shard |
40,000 |
Zariman Ten Zero[]
In Zariman Ten Zero missions, killing Thrax Centurion and Thrax Legatus that appear grant the entire squad 2,500 focus to the current active school. Killing Ravenous Void Angels in Void Armageddon grant 7,500 focus, while dormant Void Angels in any Zariman mission grant 15,000 focus. This counts toward the daily cap.
Costs[]
All Ways have a total of four ranks. They are priced based on their distance from the central root Way.
- The central Way costs 25,000 focus points to unlock, then an additional 50,000, 105,000, and 200,000 to max, to a total of 380,000 focus points.
- Ways adjacent to the center cost 60,000 focus points to unlock, then an additional 105,000, 215,000, and 400,000 to max, to a total of 780,000 focus points.
- Each school has a total of 5 central adjacent Ways, totaling to 3,900,000 focus points.
- The Ways adjacent to the middle and furthest from the center cost 95,000 focus points to unlock, then an additional 160,000, 325,000, and 600,000 to max, to a total of 1,180,000 focus points.
- Each school has a total of 4 farthest Ways, totaling to 4,720,000 focus points.
- Each school has two Way-Bounds that cost 750,000 focus points and a Brilliant Eidolon Shard to unbind, totaling to 1,500,000 and two Brilliant Eidolon Shards per school.
The total to max a single school requires 9,000,000 focus points to max rank each Way, as well as an additional 1,500,000 focus and 2 Brilliant Eidolon Shard to unbind both Waybound nodes, totaling to 10,500,000 per school.
Maxing all five schools requires 45,000,000 focus points to max rank each Way, plus an additional 7,500,000 focus and 10 Brilliant Eidolon Shards for all Waybounds, to a grand total of 52,500,000.
Represent[]
Once all nodes in a school have been unlocked and fully ranked including unbinding both Way-Bounds, the Represent shop is unlocked containing cosmetics and decorations for that school. Each item costs 1,000,000 focus points of that school.

Notes[]
- When performing Transference, a symbol of the current active Focus school will be displayed on the ground beneath the Operator's feet.
- Focus points are not increased by mission completion bonus affinity.
- Focus points earned during a mission will remain even if the mission is failed.
- Focus cannot be used during Archwing segments of a mission.
- Focus abilities cannot be activated if a Warframe is using a channeled ability that restricts its mobility, e.g. Banshee's Sound Quake and Nyx's Absorb. Other channeled abilities will remain active and continue draining energy throughout the duration of the Focus ability.
- Focus Lenses cannot be put on Companions or their weapons.
- Focus Ability cast animation is affected by cast speed modifiers such as Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
Tips[]
- If farming Focus through Focus Lenses, see Affinity#Farming Tips.
- Because Focus Lenses are tied to affinity gained, using Affinity Boosters can speed this up.
- Due to affinity distribution mechanics when Focus lenses convert affinity into Focus points, the most effective placement of the lens depends on play-style and role.
- If killing with Warframe abilities, the lens is more effective on the Warframe.
- If affinity is received largely from teammates, the lens is more effective on a single weapon.
- Naramon's Affinity Spike grants increased affinity to the equipped melee weapon.
- If farming Focus through Eidolons, see Eidolon Teralyst#Strategy.
- If farming Focus through Zariman Ten Zero, Void Cascades are highly abundant in Thrax Centurion and Thrax Legatus.
Trivia[]
- Focus 2.0 originally required a Focus "Pool" to equip Ways, increased with focus points from any school. While the Pool has been removed, the focus points used for the Pool has been reallocated into the school's Ways.
- Focus 2.0 required a grand total of 52,660,819 focus points to max each school and the Pool, 0.3% higher than Focus 3.0's grand total cost.
- The Focus system has been in development for a very long period, and was initially slated for release in Update 14.0 (2014-07-18). The developers admitted that Augment Mods and Arcane Enhancements initially started out as components of the Focus system before being split from it entirely.
- The five schools of Focus are based upon the five elements of Wu Xing found in Book of Documents(尚书) and is widely used in ancient Chinese philosophical traditions. It resembles the five elements of godai, which lacks Naramon (the tree), as seen on the backgrounds of each school's skill tree page. The Five Elements are Fire, Earth, Water, Wood, and Metal.
- The Naramon School represents Wood 木. In Wu Xing this is associated with the eyes, growth, flourish, and reaching outward.
- The Madurai School represents Fire 火. In Wu Xing this is associated with the heart, force, passion, and raw ability.
- The Unairu School represents Earth 土. In Wu Xing this is associated with the flesh, stability, durability, and bearing.
- The Zenurik School represents Metal 金. Also interpreted as mineral or crystal, this is associated in Wu Xing with the lung, concentrating, reserving, and abundance.
- The Vazarin School represents Water 水. In Wu Xing this is associated with the bone, inflexibility, supporting, adaptability, and sympathy.
- While the replies that the player chooses during the Operator's conversation with the Lotus has no gameplay effect, the choice of replies are used to reorder the choices of Tenno Schools. Once the selection screen appears, with the school most suited to the Operator appearing on the left, and choice to the right being the least suited. For example, choosing the conversation options relating to knowledge will put Naramon to the leftmost side as the most desirable choice. Players are still free to choose the Focus they wish to start with however.
| Answers | School |
|---|---|
| First Choice | |
| "... always studying." | Naramon +1 |
| "... a hand, held in mine aboard the Zariman." | Vazarin +1 |
| "... a fight." | Unairu +1 |
| Second Choice | |

Patch History[]
Hotfix 31.5.9 (2022-05-12)
- Added new custom sound FX to activating Focus Schools in the Focus UI.
- Fixed Guardian Shell intercepting some player attacks, instead of solely intercepting enemy attacks as intended.
- For example, using weapons like Ferrox or Mausolon was impacting the shield and causing detonation visuals and sometimes staggering or knocking you down.
- This also fixes heat trace weapons (eg. Ignis, Klamora Prism Amp, etc.) and beam weapons being visually reflected by Guardian Shell.
Hotfix 31.5.8 (2022-05-11)
- Inner Might changes & fixes:
- Energy costs in the abilities screen will now reflect their new cost (0) when affected by Inner Might.
- Fixed an issue where Inner Might was being consumed without granting a free cast on numerous abilities.
- Fixed some abilities with no cost or special costs consuming Inner Might despite not benefitting from it.
- Fixed Inner Might activating and allowing infinite casting for most Warframe abilities in the Grendel Locator missions (which have Focus abilities disabled by default).
- Fixed multiple script errors related to deactivating Operator Focus abilities.
Hotfix 31.5.7 (2022-05-06)
- Operator & Focus Changes:
Another round of Community feedback has brought a handful of changes to Operators and the Focus School System. This time the focus (ar ar ar) is on the casting animation speed of certain Focus abilities and some minor changes to Void Sling. We are working on optimizing the base speed, duration, and animation in these Hotfixes. We are also doing code reviews for our next Update to review further tweaks (with an emphasis on Void Sling) - more on that very soon!
- The following Focus abilities have had their casting animations replaced with a faster variant:
- Caustic Strike
- Magnetic Flare
- Void Snare
- Shortened and increased the speed of the Void Levitation and Contamination Wave’s casting animation.
- Replaced the following Focus abilities’ casting animation with a faster variant that is also upper body only - which now allows for full movement while casting as opposed to staying stationary:
- Guardian Shell
- Temporal Drag
- The ‘Abilities’ option from the pause menu can now be accessed when playing as Operator.
- General Operator/Focus Fixes:
- Fixed the incorrect values for Inner Might’s Energy cost when Ability Efficiency is not at 100% (equipping Blind Rage for example).
- For most Warframe abilities this was a UI only bug, gameplay values were unaffected. But some really did end up with very wrong energy costs.
- Fixed script error related to Unairu Wisp.
- Changes:
- Increased volume of Focus Convergence Orb pickup sound.
- Fixes:
- Fixed all Focus School Sumdalis clipping through the Liset Prime Skin livery.
Hotfix 31.5.6 (2022-05-04)
- Added Focus node Modifiers to the Ability screen descriptions.
Hotfix 31.5.5 (2022-05-03)
- Fixed case where Focus points were being consumed to purchase Teshin’s 10,000 x Kuva Steel Path Honors.
- This also prevented you from making the purchase if you didn’t have the right kind of Focus points. A script will be run to refund Focus points for anyone who purchased Kuva from Teshin between the launch of the Angels of the Zariman update and this hotfix.
Hotfix 31.5.4 (2022-05-02)
- Operator & Focus Changes:
A mix of both Community feedback and our own internal digging has brought forth some further changes to Operators and the Focus School System. A couple key goals of the Focus School System changes in Update 31.5.0 was to bring all Schools to the same level (while keeping their identifying attributes) and bring synergy to Warframe and Operator gameplay. While we believe we’ve achieved that, there’s still very understandable feedback surrounding the “survivability of Operators” in higher level combat (most noticeable in the Zariman gameplay). It’s unfair to put players in scenarios where Operator gameplay is required, but not provide a general base bump to their survivability.
All that being said, we have made a few changes to provide this bump:
- Added +200% Armor to Enduring Tides. Changed to be a “stacking” modifier instead of “multiplicative” to match math logic used for other buffs, while not making additional Health/Armor increases scale further than desired.
- General Operator & Focus Changes & Fixes:
- Clarified ‘Void Regen's’ description that it applies to squad members not just Operators.
- Fixed Unairu’s Magnetic Flare being able to completely strip Profit-Taker’s shields in one cast.
- Applied the same logic with Magnetic Flare that is used for other bosses (Eidolons and Ropalolyst for example), since completely stripping Shields in a single Magnetic Flare cast removes a large portion of certain gameplay mechanics in these fights.
- Fixed Madurai’s ‘Power Transfer’ effects not refreshing when re-triggered while active.
- This also fixes the HUD stating that it was refreshed, when it was indeed not.
- Fixed an unintended extra cooldown going from Operator to Warframe and back, caused by the ‘Opening Slam’ Focus node.
- Fixed Xaku being unable to cast the Vast Untime if they have no Energy available while Inner Might is active.
- Fixes:
- Fixed the Focus Represent shop not updating your available balance in the UI after making a purchase.
Hotfix 31.5.3 (2022-04-29)
- Fixed only one Brilliant Eidolon Shard being consumed when unbinding both possible Unbound abilities in a tree at once.
- The UI would state that two were consumed but truly it was only one in the backend. Those who were affected will keep those unconsumed Shards.
- Fixed Energy/Shield Drain for a Helminth Ability equipped on Hildryn being extremely high after using Inner Might, making it impossible to cast.
- Fixed script error related to Void Projection.
Hotfix 31.5.2 (2022-04-28)
- Fixed Subsumed abilities on Lavos being blocked from casting while Inner Might is active. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1306359-new-zenurik-talent-breaks-lavos/
- Fixed some Focus Tree node descriptions clipping in certain languages.
- Fixed script error related to Inner Might.
Hotfix 31.5.1 (2022-04-27)
- Fixed Focus points gained from killing Thrax enemies not appearing in the End of Mission screen.
- Fixed script error related to Focus Tree UI.
- Fixed script error when trying to disarm a target with Disarming Sling.
- Fixed script error related to Temporal Drag.
- Fixed script error related to Unairu Wisp.
Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)
- FOCUS SCHOOL SYSTEM REWORK
Focus School is in session! The Focus System is getting an extensive rework to refresh the gameplay potential of Operators, movement, School identity and balance.
WHAT IS FOCUS?
Focus has been a lot of things over the years. What started in 2015 as a pivotal decision moment in Warframe’s story has continually evolved into its own form of gameplay: Convergence was introduced alongside Focus Lenses to give players an added boost to collecting Focus, Update 22: Plains of Eidolon shook the system up to add new Focus School nodes and Way-Bound abilities, and Update 22.6 attempted to bring the 5 schools’ power levels closer together with numerous abilities reworked.
At its core, Focus aimed to be an exciting new path to enjoy Warframe from the lens of another character. What we’ve come to realize over the many years is that there was a lack of true synergy between Operator and Warframe. We hope to change that while also bringing something fresh to the table!
OPERATOR GAMEPLAY REWORK OVERVIEW
The Operator Gameplay and Focus School reworks aim to improve the flow between Warframe gameplay and Operator gameplay, with the goal of encouraging players to swap more frequently between their Operator and Warframe to maximize the benefits received from both gameplay systems.
As with all our major system overhauls, we encourage you to give it some time in your own hands before delivering your constructive feedback!
For Operator Gameplay specifically, these changes come in three major ways: first, the introduction of Void Sling; secondly, re-engineering Operators to be Client-authoritative to reduce jank caused by latency issues related to the mission host; thirdly, removal of Void Blast to allow Melee inputs to cause automatic Transference from Operator to Warframe.
Void Sling is the intended replacement of Void Dashes as a more fun and controllable system. In full transparency, the current state of sustained Void Dash movement has a spam-centric loop that we want to refine. We are very much approaching this like how we added Bullet Jump to Parkour: we want movement to be king, but better controlled. Current Void Dash does not provide easily controlled movement in the typical gameplay spaces. We are aiming to strike a balance to ensure good distance can still be covered, but some re-mastery will be required of this new movement system (much like having to learn Bullet Jumping)!
Additionally, Operator Transference has been re-engineered to be Client-authoritative to alleviate the common scenario of latency. Previously, Transference was Host-authoritative, meaning when Clients used Transference the responsiveness was determined by the round trip network latency. In order for the new Void Sling functionality to be more responsive, the switch was made to be Client-authoritative.
Void Dash to Void Sling
The Operator sends a Void Sling of themselves and then Void Slings to it. It is the Operator’s ‘Double Jump’. *After its debut on Devstream #160 and following further playtesting, the team has since increased the overall speed of the Operator’s Void Sling thanks to feedback.
- Tap or hold jump while in the air to send out your Sling. A tap will travel a minimum distance before the Void Sling.
- Void Sling can also be activated using the old Void Dash input, by holding jump while in crouched Void Mode.
- Holding jump sends out the Void Sling further, up to the Sling's maximum distance, which upon being reached, will automatically Void Sling the player to that space.
- Letting go of jump before hitting the maximum distance is reached will initiate a Void Sling.
- The Void Sling is sent out in the direction the camera is facing once fully charged, or upon release.
Void Blast to Warframe Melee Transfer
Melee input while using your Operator will now instantly Transfer to your Warframe and perform a Melee attack.
- Having no Melee weapon equipped will result in Transferring to your Warframe holding your Primary/Secondary instead.
- Warframe Melee Finishers can be triggered as Operator with ‘Use’ input near an unaware or stunned enemy, automatically insta-Transferring to Warframe to perform them.
- So what about Void Blast? It’s been retired and replaced with the above. For scenarios where Void Blast is requested (disarming Kuva Guardians, etc) using the new Void Projection mechanic (or Amps in some cases) will do the trick.
- "On Void Blast" Arcanes now trigger on Void Sling.
FOCUS SCHOOL REWORK
The Focus School rework aims to boost the lesser used Schools by a) giving them more interesting and useful abilities, b) defining a clear role and gameplay style for each school, and c) incentivizing Warframe-Operator Transference as part of the core gameplay loop.
General Notes:
- Ability Inputs while in Operator are now used to perform brand new Focus School abilities! Each School is launching with 2 Abilities, meaning that what you use to cast your Warframe’s First and Second Abilities (i.e 1 & 2 keys on PC) now have a use while in Operator!
- The Pool has been removed! Any Focus points you’ve spent on upgrading your Pool capacity will be returned to you in the form of Radiant Eidolon shards, which you can convert into Focus points for a School of your choosing. The original intention of the Pool was to allow you to select the active nodes within your chosen Focus School, but as time went on the Pool only added unnecessary complexity for no real gameplay benefit.
- Removed passive draining abilities because players would typically have deactivated these abilities to avoid the passive Energy drain. Any abilities that spend Energy are manually triggered as opposed to passively draining.
- As a result, we’ve removed the toggling functionality to have nodes on or off as Pool capacity and passive draining abilities are no longer a factor.
- The Focus School UI has been updated! Not only does the UI now apply your chosen UI Theme, but each School screen displays a legend of all Way-Bound abilities to easily reference the ones you have unlocked. This legend also allows you to quickly switch between schools with the click of a button.
- Fully maxing all the nodes of a Focus School will grant you access to Represent. Rep your School with all new cosmetics (purchased with Focus points) via the Represent button in the respective Focus School’s screen.
- As an additional way to earn Focus, Enemies that require using the Operator to kill them now have a chance to grant Focus towards your active School!
- Please note that this Focus gained from new enemies aboard the Zariman does not currently show in the End of Mission screen. This fix will come with our next Mainline build.
- Increased the amount of Affinity converted to Focus from Convergence Orbs from 8x to 10x.
MADURAI
The Madurai way follows the path of Engage the Enemy. Speed and savagery characterized the Madurai school.
Madurai’s abilities focus on granting that offensive edge in combat with a combination of Damage increases, weapon efficiency, and Speed enhancements to recklessly attack your foes.
- 6 new Focus abilities.
- POWER TRANSFER (Passive)
- 100% Amp Critical Damage for 20s on switching to Operator. 50% Casting Speed on switching to Warframe.
- VOID FUEL
- 40% Weapon Efficiency for Operator and Warframe while Void Strike is active.
- CHAINED SLING
- 50% Energy Efficiency on Consecutive Void Slings.
- SLING STRENGTH
- Switching to Warframe after a Chained Sling adds 40% Ability Strength for 20s.
- CONTAMINATION WAVE (Second Ability input)
- Second Ability emits a Void wave lasting 2s that drenches enemies with Void Contamination making them 50% more vulnerable to Operator Damage for 20s.
- Added a mark FX similar to Ash's Bladestorm for Contamination Wave. Each contamination level will display its own marker above enemies.
- Second Ability emits a Void wave lasting 2s that drenches enemies with Void Contamination making them 50% more vulnerable to Operator Damage for 20s.
- DISTILLED CONTAMINATION
- Killing an enemy affected by Contamination Wave makes all affected enemies 25% more vulnerable, while also making the effect last 10s longer. Maximum 4 stacks.
- POWER TRANSFER (Passive)
- Eternal Gaze and Inner Gaze remain unchanged.
- Reworked Void Strike:
- It is now the First Ability input.
- First Ability consumes all Operator energy to increase damage for 8s. Deal 10% additional damage for every percentage of Operator energy consumed. 40s cooldown.
- eg. 100% of Energy consumed is 1000% damage.
- Why: Old Void Strike’s long charge up time didn’t provide an ideal gameplay experience within the fast paced environment. Players found themselves sitting in Void Mode waiting for the Damage bonus to build up. Now Void Strike no longer needs Void Mode and has instant damage on input. Additionally, Void Strike is Duration based now instead of per shot, meaning damage gets applied to all pellets of a shotgun for instance.
- Tweaked Phoenix Talons:
- Physical Damage and Operator Damage increased by 30%.
- Why: Adding the additional Operator Damage allows for benefits for both Warframe and Operator in the name of synergy.
UNAIRU
The Unairu push themselves to Outlast The Enemy. Those who mastered the Unairu school are granted enhanced damage resistance and damage reflection.
Unairu’s main pillar aims to make Unairu a proper tank Focus School with increased Armor, and opportunities for increased immunity and survivability.
- 8 new Focus Abilities.
- POISE
- Gain immunity to slow, stagger, and knockdown effects for 40s after Transferring between Operator or Warframe.
- LAST GASP (Passive, Way-Bound)

- CAUSTIC STRIKE (Second Ability input)
- Second Ability launches an energy bomb that explodes with a 8m radius, stripping 100% of enemy armor. Tap Second Ability again to detonate in-flight.
- MAGNETIC BOOST
- Void Sling out of a Magnetic Flare to refresh its duration and increase its radius by 100%.
- REINFORCED RETURN
- Warframe is invulnerable for 4s after Operator is downed. Tap X as Operator falls to bring the Warframe to the Operator’s location.
- STATIC PURGE
- 100% chance to clear Transference Static on kill while Reinforced Return is active.
- POISE
- Reworked Unairu Wisp:
- 100% chance to summon an Unairu Wisp for each enemy hit by Sundering Dissipation that will seek out the nearest ally within Affinity Range and increase their Operator damage by 100% for 20 secs.
- Why: Its new coexistence alongside another Focus ability unifies the 2 together to add another layer that benefits both Warframe and Operator. It also removes having to pick up the Unairu Wisp manually, and will instead find you within Affinity Range.
- 100% chance to summon an Unairu Wisp for each enemy hit by Sundering Dissipation that will seek out the nearest ally within Affinity Range and increase their Operator damage by 100% for 20 secs.
- Tweaked Stone Skin:
- Increases Armor for Warframe and Operator by 200.
- Why: Adding the additional Operator Armor allows for benefits for both Warframe and Operator in the name of synergy.
- Increases Armor for Warframe and Operator by 200.
ZENURIK
The Zenurik believed the clearest path to victory was to Dominate the Enemy. Those who master the Zenurik school believe that sheer strength could erase any resistance.
Rest assured the core of Energizing Dash remains as-is with some slight updates. Our goal is to bring other Focus Schools up to the level of Zenurik while still maintaining the School’s tactical benefits.
- 6 new Focus Abilities:
- HARDENED WELLSPRING (First Ability input)
- Tap First Ability inside a Wellspring to increase its size, boost its duration by 20s, and grant 20% Ability Strength to those inside.
- Wellspring is the new name for (the relatively unchanged) Energizing Dash, which you can read about further below.
- TEMPORAL DRAG (Second Ability input)
- Second Ability emits a radial burst slowing any enemy it touches by 80% for 10s.
- TEMPORAL SHOT (Passive)
- Precision head shot damage increased by 100% on enemies afflicted with Temporal Drag.
- DISARMING SLING
- Slinging through enemies has a 50% chance to disarm them.

- Void Flow, Void Siphon, and Energy Pulse remain unchanged.
- Energizing Dash is now Wellspring with the slight change of being a direct input Ability (First Ability input) as opposed to a Void Dash.
- This also affects Necramechs.
NARAMON
The Naramon discipline focuses on Knowing The Enemy. They believed that to truly understand a foe would confer the greatest advantage upon a warrior.
True to its focus in the art of assault, Naramon continues to heavily lean towards a Melee support role with speed and distance enhancements.
- 7 new Focus Abilities.

- FAR SLING (Passive)
- Increases maximum Void Sling distance by 30%.
- Mind Step remains unchanged.
- Power Spike and Affinity Spike have switched places so that Power Spike is now the starting node.
- Slight increase to Melee Affinity gained from Affinity Spike.
VAZARIN
The Vazarin are trained to Counter The Enemy. Those who mastered the Vazarin school maintain constant awareness in order to defend against all aggression.
The Vazarin Focus School aims to now be a proper support School in both life and death.

- Why: Additional benefit between using both Warframe and Operator.
- Effect is doubled while controlling your Warframe.
- Tweaked Mending Soul:
- The first 4 Revives are instantaneous. Additional Revives are 100% faster.
- Why: Players would often remark that the ability eventually became useless in longer missions. Mending Soul retains its immediate strengths, but once used up, now offers a more permanent benefit!
- The first 4 Revives are instantaneous. Additional Revives are 100% faster.
Focus Refund & Re-spec
Upon login, all Focus points will need to be re-spec’d. You will be met with 2 types of Focus Refunds in order to execute this:
- All your Focus points will be returned to their respective School.
- I.e. my 5,000,000 Focus points I put into Madurai will be returned to that School for me to freely re-spec how I want.
- Any Focus points you’ve spent on upgrading your Pool capacity will be returned to you in the form of Radiant Eidolon shards via Inbox, which you can convert into Focus points for a School of your choosing.
While re-investing your Focus into the updated Focus Nodes, you might see a difference in Node costs and School costs depending on which Way you follow. Overall, the total Focus required should be very similar (if not slightly cheaper) than the old system, but costs are now standardized across Schools and Nodes. When re-spec’ing, make sure you use your old Pool investment that was refunded via Radiant Shards, as the previous Pool cost has been rolled into the new Node values.
If you had maxed out a School before this update, you should be able to now as well using the re-spec’d Focus points and refunded Radiant Shards -- or at least very close to it, as some Schools (ex: Vazarin and Naramon) used to be cheaper than others.
To recap, if you have invested in the Focus system, upon login you will receive an inbox message with the following:
- Focus points from every Focus node you invested in.
- Refunded Brilliant Eidolon Shards
- Based on the number of Way-Bound nodes unlocked.
- Refunded Radiant Eidolon Shards
- Based on the amount of points invested in Pool upgrades.
- (BONUS) 5x Lua Focus Lenses:
- 1x Lua Unairu Lens
- 1x Lua Naramon Lens
- 1x Lua Zenurik Lens
- 1x Lua Vazarin Lens
- 1x Lua Madurai Lens
Operator UI Changes
