They followed the path of Engage The Enemy. Their swift, uncompromising onslaught, holding nothing back and recklessly attacking their foes, could vanquish an opponent before he had the chance to steel himself. Speed and savagery characterized this school.

• A fully levelled Madurai Operator is capable of:
  • Warframe Passive: Increases physical damage by 30%, increases ability casting speed by 50% on Transference, and Ability Strength by 20% after Void Sling.
  • Operator Passive: Increases the Operator's Amp and Void Beam energy capacity by 40% and regeneration by 60%, and increases Amp Critical Damage by 100% on Transference.
  • Void Sling: Increases the Operator's Energy Efficiency by 50% on consecutive Void Slings.
  • First Ability: Consumes all Operator energy to increase Operator and Warframe damage by 10% per 1% energy consumed up to a maximum of 1000%, and increases Amp/Ammo Efficiency by 40%. Lasts 8 seconds, 40 second cooldown.
  • Second Ability: Emits a wave for 2 seconds causing enemies to take 50% additional Operator Damage for 20 seconds. Killing a debuffed enemy makes all affected enemies take an additional 25% more damage and increases the duration by 10 seconds, up to 4 stacks.

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.
  • 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.
• 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.
