Update 36.0 (2024-06-18)
- Warframe Changes
Frost Rework
Frost, the definitively-themed Cold Warframe, has received a rework to better situate him for how Cold works with this Update! While Frost dealt icy attacks to his foes, the Freeze from his hit was not tied to Cold Status Effects. With the update to the Cold status, we have also amended his kit to properly use Cold Status Effects to Freeze enemies!
New passive - Fortifying Freeze:
Cold Status Effects applied by Frost Abilities have their duration increased by 100%. Frost gains 50 Armor per enemy inflicted with Cold Status within 15m.
Freeze (1st Ability):
- Adds required Cold stacks to freeze instead of simply freezing to both initial hit and AoE interactions.
- “Duration” is now known as “Freeze Duration,” indicating how long an affected target is Frozen.
- Doubled the baseline Area of Effect component of the projectiles.
- The Area-of-Effect aspect now scales with the Ability Range stat. The Area-of-Effect Radius is now present in the Ability description.
Ice Wave (2nd Ability):
- “Duration” is now known as “Freeze Duration,” indicating how long an affected target is Frozen.
- Ice Wave Impedance Augment Changes:
- Leaves a frozen trail for 12s that adds a Cold Status Effect per second on enemies in contact with it.
Snow Globe (3rd Ability):
- Applies a Cold Status Effect every 3 seconds to enemies inside the Globe.
- Updated “Slow” stat to “Cold Status/Second”.
- Instantly apply full Cold stacks on cast if an enemy is within Snow Globe range.
- No longer blocks player projectiles from the outside!
- Snow Globe now visually cracks as it takes damage.
- When the Snow Globe breaks, it’ll also explode and deal damage and 3 Cold stacks to enemies within its radius.
- Chilling Globe Augment Changes:
- Updated the Augment to add 10 Cold stacks if the condition is met (i.e., unify the freeze with the Cold Status Effects as we normally do now).
Avalanche (4th Ability):
- Adds the required Cold stacks instead of simply freezing.
- It’s “Duration” stat is now “Freeze Duration,” indicating how long an affected target is Frozen.
Hotfix 35.0.3 (2023-12-18)
- Fixed a script error caused by Frost’s Freeze.
Update 34.0 (2023-10-18)
- Base vs Final Stats in Modding - Health / Energy / Shield / Armor Stat Overhaul
If you’ve spent any time invested in the deeper nuances of Modding, you may be familiar with “Warframe Math” - math that upon first glance doesn’t really make sense, but once you learn the inner workings of the game, it all comes together. While we can appreciate the value that complex systems offer to a certain subsect of players, there are other aspects of the game that should have clear and understandable outcomes. Namely: Shield, Health, Energy, and Armor Modding.
Pop quiz: what is 300 + 440%? If you answered 740, you may just be an Excalibur player.
Vitality (+440% Heath), Redirection (+440% Shields), Flow (+150% Energy), and Steel Fiber (+110% Armor) come with large modifier values that don’t seem to match their outcome in-game. This is because these Mods apply their multiplier to the base stats of the Warframe - i.e., the stats you have at Rank 0. In the Excalibur example, a Rank 30 Excalibur’s Health stat of 300 earns an additional 440 Health from max rank Vitality (+440% Heath) since it applies to his base rank Health stat of 100, resulting in 740 total health.
In this update, we have removed this obfuscation by having Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods apply to the stats of Warframes at their current rank. Continuing our Excalibur example, instead of Vitality always applying to Excalibur’s base rank 100 Health, it would apply to his Health stat based on his rank - namely, the stat you can actually see in your Arsenal. If your Excalibur were Rank 30, his Health stat would be 300, which means Vitality’s multiplier would be calculated off of 300.
With previous Health and Mod values, additional adjustments are needed to make this revision work while maintaining game balance. By only changing where the multiplier applies, a Rank 30 Excalibur would receive an extra 1,320 Health from max rank Vitality, resulting in a total health stat of 1,600. This outcome is a significant buff, which is not the intention of this system change.
To remedy this, we approached this problem in two ways:
1 - We reduced the overall multiplier for Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods.
Since these now affect Max Rank Warframe stats, these Mods need to scale differently to maintain the status quo. Additionally, we wanted these new values to be as clear and understandable to all players as possible! Here are a few examples of these value changes:
- Vitality: Reduced from +440% to +100% Health
- Redirection: Reduced from +440% to +100% Shield Capacity
- Steel Fiber: Reduced from +110% to +100% Armor
- Flow: Reduced from +150% to +100% Energy Max
Note: These are not all of the Mods affected by this change. We share the comprehensive list further down in this section of the update notes.
Doing some quick math, this means that a Rank 30 Excalibur (300 Health) with a reworked Vitality Mod (+100% Health, applied to the final Health stat) would receive 300 extra Health, for a total of 600. That, in contrast, is a nerf, which we also don’t want to do.
So, our next step:
2 - We adjusted Warframe Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor values to keep the end result of the revised Mods as close to the original values as possible.
With this change, Excalibur’s Rank 30 Health stat is 370. With +100% Health from a max Vitality Mod, his resulting Health stat would be 740, which matches what it was originally.
While this path to the same result may seem a little complicated, the outcome matches our intention: we want players to be able to look at their Health, Shield, and Armor Mods, and be able to understand how they affect the stats they see in their Arsenal.
In addition to everything above, we also increased the base stat values for Warframes so that these revised Mods offer similar value for lower-ranked Frames. To do so, we reduced the amount of Health/Shield/Energy that Warframes earn per rank in half, and transferred the sum of that value to their base stats.
For Armor, this is the one stat that does not increase with your Warframe’s level (with some exceptions). Armor values across the board have been slightly increased to compensate for the Mod changes.
Not to beat a dead Kaithe, but Mods will now be applying to the Max Rank stat instead of the Base Rank. You may look at these numbers and think “nerf” or “buff” depending, but the outcome is that total Modded values are the same, if not a little higher in some cases.
Warframe Stat Changes:
FROST
Health: Base Rank - 270 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300)
Shields: Base Rank - 455 (from 150) / Max Rank - 555 (from 450)
Armor: Base Rank - 315 (from 300)
Energy: Base Rank - 100 (from 100) / Max Rank - 150 (from 150)
FROST PRIME
Health: Base Rank - 270 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300)
Shields: Base Rank - 550 (from 175) / Max Rank - 650 (from 525)
Armor: Base Rank - 315 (from 300)
Energy: Base Rank - 100 (from 100) / Max Rank - 150 (from 150)
While there may be significant changes to Warframe Stats and Mod values as a part of this overhaul, the end result is that your Builds should mostly stay the same. The key difference is the added clarity of what your Health / Shield / Energy / Armor Mods do in your Upgrade screens!
Hotfix 33.5.1 (2023-06-21)
- Fixed a script error caused by Frost’s Avalanche ability.
Update 33.5 (2023-06-21)
- OVERGUARD ON WARFRAME ABILITIES
Overguard as a Warframe defense mechanism was introduced in Drifter Intrinsics and Decrees with The Duviri Paradox update - it grants additional Health protection and provides Knockdown Immunity while active.
Overguard has virtually the same function (Health buffs and immunities*) as the listed abilities and Augment Mods, so in an effort to expose the mechanic more and establish familiarity with Overguard as a whole (as it also appears on enemies) we have made it the visual indicator for them.
- Frost’s Icy Avalanche Augment Mod
*The base defensive properties of these abilities and Augment Mods have not changed!
This change also has the added benefit of allowing “On Damaged” Mods and Arcanes to apply to all of the above! Prior to this change, the aforementioned abilities would make the player "invulnerable" until the added survivability was depleted. Now, Mods and Arcanes like Adaptation and Arcane Avenger can now be triggered when damage is taken to Overguard, because it is treated similarly to Health and Shields.
The HUD Overguard element has also had slight upgrades for the purposes of registering for these abilities and Augment Mods:
Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)
- Increased Frost's Avalanche armor reduction from 40% to 60% and changed the armor reduction to be permanent.
- Frost’s Avalanche can also now reduce armor from targets even if they are immune to crowd control abilities.
- Fixed enemies affected by Frost’s Avalanche not losing any armor while Overguard is active.

Update 29.5 (2020-11-19)

Update 28.3 (2020-08-12)
- Increased the Cold Status Effects from 1 to 6 for these Frost Abilities (which brings it back to pre-Status Changes):
- Freeze (Area of Effect)
- Ice Wave (slow)
- Avalanche (slow)
Update 27.4 (2020-05-01)
- Frost Ability videos have been added to their respective Arsenals!
- Fixed some rendering artifacts (black squares) that could appear if you killed an enemy and their ragdoll had severed body parts (notably with Frost's Avalanche).
Hotfix 27.3.11 (2020-04-09)
- Fixed Frost’s Snowglobe not blocking certain Sentient Attacks.
Hotfix 27.0.9 (2020-01-09)
- Fixed Frost’s Snowglobe missing the invulnerability period on cast.
Update 25.7 (2019-08-29)
- If you freeze enemies with things like Frost, Atlas, or Gara’s abilities, you can now immediately apply other Status Effects! Before these powers would prevent Status Effects from being added. Read more on that here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1119134-cold-status-effects-how-they-block-new-status-effects-coming-changes/
- Partial fixes toward Leg Armor clipping with Frost.
Hotfix 25.6.3 (2019-08-14)
