Lore
“You're not supposed to be in here! You're going to ruin the surprise!”
The following article/section contains spoilers. Please complete Saya's Vigil quest before proceeding.
- Main article: Saya's Vigil
Gara, the Glass Warrior, served the Unum, a mysterious and reclusive being whose Orokin Tower-body was beset by a massive Sentient. This Sentient, whose powers waned between dusk and dawn, would attack the Unum's Tower by nightfall and retreat by morning. Forbidden to attack the Sentient at the peak of its power, Gara would search for the colossal being during the daylight. To aid in her search, the Unum seeded Temple Kuva to the wildlife, which would connect their consciousness and allow the Unum to discover the Sentient's hiding place.
However, the Sentient captured the fauna and discovered it could use the Kuva to restore its long-lost ability to reproduce. Thus, its attacks escalated, forcing Gara to take decisive action. Carrying a bomb in her chest, Gara gave her life to destroy the Sentient as it descended on her mortally wounded body, detonating the bomb and scattering the Sentient across the land that would be known as the Plains of Eidolon, ending the threat to the tower. However, the threat of the Sentient still lingers, taking the form of the mindless Eidolons that wander the plains at night in search of its missing fragments to become whole once more.
In present day, the Ostron researcher Onkko from Cetus disappears in an effort to prevent Gara from falling into Grineer hands. His wife Saya accepts the Tenno's help to find Onkko, coming across a case locked with a glass key. While finding the glass fragments needed to open the case, the Lotus performs a harmonics sweep on the glass key and discovers a blueprint for Gara hidden within.

 ENERGY: 25 KEY 1 |
Shattered Lash Lash out with stream of shattered glass, or hold for an arcing strike. |
Strength:500 / 600 / 700 / 800 ( Puncture and  Slash damage)
|
| Duration:N/A | |||
| Range:5 / 6 / 8 / 10 m (range) | |||
| Misc:225° (sweep arc) 0.75 m (blade radius) |
- Gara thrusts her glass longsword with 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 meters range toward the aiming reticle, dealing 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 Puncture damage and knocking back all enemies within 0.75 meters radius from the blade. Holding the ability key instead sweeps the glass longsword from left to right in a 225° arc in front of Gara, dealing 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 Slash damage to all enemies within reach and bashing them away in a ragdoll state in the direction of the sweep.
- Shattered Lash has innate punch through, bypassing entities, walls, and obstacles in the environment.
- Shattered Lash also bypasses Gara's Mass Vitrify barrier, dealing damage from both the sword and the explosion to enemies struck.
- Shattered Lash has a 1.0x critical multiplier, 0% critical chance, and 0% status chance.
- Thrust and sweep damage are affected by Ability Strength, the Melee Combo Counter, and certain mods and arcanes:
- Base Damage × (1 + Damage Mods) × (1 + Elemental Mods) × (1 + Strength Mods)
- As an example, with a maxed Pressure Point, Shocking Touch and Intensify, a rank-3 Shattered Lash will deal
800 × (1 + 1.2) × (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 4,347.2 damage. - Mods affecting Puncture damage and Slash damage will affect only their corresponding physical damage type for Shattered Lash's thrust or sweep.
- Impact damage mods have no effect on Shattered Lash.
- Mods, including Riven Mods and melee Augment Mods affecting the following stats:
- Damage (e.g., Pressure Point)
- Physical damage (e.g., Jagged Edge)

- Shattered Lash is not affected by the equipped melee weapon's stats or its innate effects.

- The exceptions to this rule are:
- Shattered Lash is affected by Arcanes which give melee damage such as Arcane Fury and Arcane Blade Charger.
- Shattered Lash's range is affected by Ability Range, while blade knockback radius and sweep arc are not.
- Sweep is not perfectly aligned in a straight line and is similar to a wave-like pattern, allowing Shattered Lash to hit enemies on a slightly higher terrain elevation than Gara past ~90°.
- Thrust and Sweep casting speeds are affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
- The firing directions and origin points for Thrust and Sweep are detailed as follows:
- Thrust's origin and aim direction both snap to the environment as they were at the completion of the cast (the very start of the animation), regardless of Gara's orientation or position afterward.
- Sweep's hitbox adheres to Gara's character model, moving with her. Horizontal aim snaps to the aiming reticle at the time of the cast, while vertical angle is always straight in the middle.
- Enemies crystallized by Mass Vitrify are not affected by Shattered Lash's ragdoll and knockback effects.
- Ability Synergy: Casting Shattered Lash on Gara's own Mass Vitrify glass barrier causes it to break and explode outward, dealing damage to enemies outside the barrier.
- Damage type of the glass barrier explosion is determined by Shattered Lash's thrust or sweep used to shatter the barrier.
- If Splinter Storm is active and is within the explosion radius on the outside of the barrier, 50% of the barrier explosion damage is permanently added to Splinter Storm's damage per second until its duration expires.
- Shattered Lash's quick cast is a one-handed action that allows Gara to fire and reload weapons, as well as move and perform maneuvers during cast.
- Hold cast is a two-handed animation that stops Gara's movement and other actions during cast.
- Can be cast while in midair.
- While ability is silent, it does not activate stealth multiplier.
- The glass longsword is visually summoned from Gara's left palm and does not possess a grip. Glass shards will constantly break away and fall from the blade as a visual effect, while the longsword fades into and out of existence for the duration of the thrust or sweep.
- The longsword and its particle effects are affected by Gara's chosen Warframe energy color.
- Shattered Lash can damage enemies across the Rift Plane.
- Shattered Lash is affected by and can trigger Warframe Arcanes.
Puncture damage, knockdown and knockback. Thrust allows Gara to keep on the move, use Maneuvers, as well as fire and reload weapons. Slash damage, body ragdoll and knockback. However, sweep locks Gara in place during cast.
- Sweep is animation-locked and cannot be aimed upward or downward. However, because the sweep is in a wave-like pattern, it can hit enemies on a lower or higher terrain elevation than Gara depending on the troughs and crests of the wave. You can familiarize yourself with this pattern in Captura mode using the advance time function.
- If enemies are standing on a higher elevation, use Aim Glide (default hold RMB while in midair) and time your sweep to hit them with your blade.
Puncture and Slash damage to maximize potential damage for Shattered Lash. Depending on your preferred attack method (thrust or sweep) and enemies you will face, you can specialize in Puncture or Slash damage mods to take advantage of damage type bonuses against different factions.
- Base damage, elemental damage, and physical damage from melee Riven Mods do affect Shattered Lash, further amplifying its damage potential.
Splinter Storm on an enemy target to amplify Shattered Lash's damage on it.
Spectrorage on a cluster of enemies or in the enemy's path to cause them to gather inside the carousel, then use Shattered Lash to thrust at specific targets in a line or sweep the entire group away.
Mass Vitrify then attack them with Shattered Lash for increased damage.
- Damage multipliers from Mass Vitrify and Splinter Storm can stack to produce even higher damage output for Shattered Lash.
Main article: Splinter Storm (edit)

 ENERGY: 50 KEY 2 |
Splinter Storm Gara's armor splinters into a maelstrom of shattered glass that slices enemies and impairs their weapons. Allies who contact the cloud are fortified against damage. |
Strength:100 / 150 / 200 / 250 (damage per second) 25% / 30% / 50% / 70% (damage reduction) 15% / 20% / 25% / 35% (damage multiplier) |

| Range:15 / 20 / 25 / 30 m (cast) 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 m (radius) | |||
| Misc:50% (absorbed damage) |
- Gara shatters her glass armor into a storm of razor-sharp fragments that encircles herself, an ally, or an enemy target on the aiming reticle within 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 meters, lasting for 10 / 14 / 18 / 22 seconds. The shard storm has a radius of 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 meters, within which enemies and Objects are dealt 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 damage per second and constantly pushed away from the center. When surrounded by the Splinter Storm, Gara and her allies also receive 25% / 30% / 50% / 70% damage resistance to enemy attacks, while her enemies receive 15% / 20% / 25% / 35% increased damage vulnerability to weapons and abilities.
- Damage per second, damage reduction and damage multiplier are affected by Ability Strength.

- A renewed duration, by Mass Vitrify, is based on Ability Duration when casted, e.g. with
- Range and radius are affected by Ability Range.
- Casting speed is affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
- Eligible ally targets include all Warframes, Companions, Eidolon Lures, summoned allied units such as Specters, allied Invasion units, Hostages, Kavor Defectors, Sortie and Arbitrations Defense Operatives, Excavators and Defense Objects.
- On Defense Objects, the damage reduction is capped at 50%.
- Despite being a Warframe power, Splinter Storm seems to be considered as objects and cannot damage enemies cross the Rift Plane.
- Splinter Storm casted in material plane will not be able to harm enemies in the Rift, even when the affected target later cross into the Rift, and vice versa.
- Enemies debuffed with Splinter Storm become immune to pushback and pull effects, including those of Splinter Storm, Ferrox and Tether Grenades.
- Damage per second, damage reduction and damage multiplier are affected by Ability Strength.
- Ability Synergy:
- If a Spectrorage mirror shatters inside Splinter Storm's radius, 50% of the mirror's damage is permanently added to Splinter Storm's damage per second until its duration expires.
- Mirror damage from Spectrorage is affected by Ability Strength, while the percentage absorbed is not affected and is capped at 50%.
- Absorbed damage can stack from multiple mirrors breaking inside Splinter Storm's radius.
- Splinter Storms on any targets can absorb damage from Spectrorage mirrors.
- Splinter Storm does not absorb damage from Spectrorage's collapse explosion.
Mass Vitrify will also refresh the duration of Splinter Storm on Gara, as well as any affected allies that contact the molten glass during its expansion.
Shattered Lash and Splinter Storm is within the explosion radius on the outside of the barrier, 50% of the glass fragments' damage is permanently added to Splinter Storm's damage per second until its duration expires.
- Explosion damage from Mass Vitrify is affected by Ability Strength, while the percentage absorbed is not affected and is capped at 50%.
- Absorbed damage is also affected by equipped melee mods including:
- Base damage (e.g., Steel Charge), elemental damage, and physical damage mods.
- As Mass Vitrify's explosion damage is not comprised of Impact damage, physical damage mods that affect Impact have no effect on absorbed damage for Splinter Storm.
- Absorbed damage is calculated after additional damage from mods.
- Base damage (e.g.,
- Absorbed damage can stack from repeated Mass Vitrify explosions inside Splinter Storm's radius.
- Splinter Storms on Gara herself and allies can absorb damage from Mass Vitrify's explosion, while storms on affected enemies do not.
- Casting Splinter Storm stops Gara's movement and actions.
- Can be cast on self when not aiming at an ally or enemy target.
- Can be cast on multiple targets while active.
- Cannot be cast on a target already affected by Splinter Storm.
- The newest active instance of Splinter Storm is tracked by the ability icon timer, including the instance on Gara herself.
- Splinter Storm buff on ally players appears as an icon with the timer below and percentage of damage reduction at the top-right, displayed beside the Shield and Health indicators on the affected players' HUD.
- Glass fragments are affected by Gara's chosen Warframe energy color.
- Main article: Mending Splinters
Mending Splinters is a Warframe Augment Mod for Gara's Splinter Storm that causes it to heal friendly targets it's applied to, with the healing being increased for every target (friendly or not) affected by Splinter Storm for a short time.
| Rank | Health Regeneration | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 10/s | 6 |
| 1 | 11/s | 7 |
| 2 | 12.5/s | 8 |
| 3 | 15/s | 9 |
- Aim away from allies and enemies then press 2 to cast Splinter Storm on yourself. If aiming at a target, pressing the ability key will lock onto the target and apply Splinter Storm on it after the casting animation.
- Buff your team and the objective with Splinter Storm to drastically increase their durability. Apply on Companions when able to protect them and grant them a pushback aura to defend against melee enemies.
- Use Splinter Storm's damage resistance and pushback effect to enhance your team's melee combat effectiveness, allowing any ally to clear paths through crowded hallways and chokepoints blocked by enemies.
- Damage resistance applies to Overshields, Shields and Health, making rapid regeneration of these stats ideal for endurance. Arcane Aegis, Arcane Barrier, Arcane Grace, Sentinel's Guardian mod, Raksa Kubrow's Protect mod, and Taxon's Molecular Conversion mod are great options to consider.
- Cast on an enemy to increase all damage against that target.
- The pushback effect helps single out the enemy among a crowd for a direct line of gunfire.
- Because of the pushback effect, melee weapons with short reach such as daggers and most melee ground finisher attacks can miss the intended target as it is moved away from Splinter Storm during the animation. Debuff a desired enemy with Splinter Storm to stop it from being pushed away, as well as enhancing damage against it.
- Splinter Storm also damages and breaks Objects in the environment, allowing for easy resource collection such as Iradite on the Plains of Eidolon. However, Explosive Barrels can also detonate if destroyed by the glass shards, therefore care should be taken when such objects are nearby.
- Coincidentally, Splinter Storm offers great protection against enemy thrown grenades, causing them to detonate harmlessly against Tenno and applying its explosion damage against nearby enemies.
- Cast Mass Vitrify to simultaneously refresh your Splinter Storm to full duration. Any allies that touch the expanding molten glass will also have their Splinter Storms' timers refreshed, reducing overall energy costs for reapplying Splinter Storm on you and your allies and avoiding the prolonged casting animation locks.
- Stand next to Spectrorage's mirrors as enemies break them to stack additional damage onto Splinter Storm's damage per second.
- This extra damage applies to you, your allies, and any enemies debuffed with Splinter Storm inside Spectrorage's carousel; extra damage remains as long as Splinter Storms remain active on the individual targets.
- Stand outside Mass Vitrify's glass barrier and destroy it using Shattered Lash, allowing you and your allies' Splinter Storms in range of the glass explosion to stack additional damage onto Splinter Storm's damage per second.
- This extra damage applies to you and your allies only, and benefits from melee mods that apply to Shattered Lash, granting high damage amounts per explosion; extra damage remains as long as Splinter Storms remain active on the individual targets.
- When the Splinter Storm damage counter above the ability icons disappear, it signals that no more Splinter Storms are active from you. Keep close attention to avoid accidentally exposing you and your team to more incoming enemy damage than potentially able to be resisted.
- Splinter Storm will not be dispelled by Violence's Silence, so players can take advantage of it for The Steel Path missions.

Spectrorage Trap enemies in a carousel of mirrors, forcing them to attack visions of their true selves. Destroyed mirrors damage their attackers, as does the collapse of the carousel. |
Strength:500 / 600 / 700 / 800 (mirror damage) 800 / 1000 / 1200 / 1500 (collapse damage) |
| Duration:10 / 14 / 18 / 22 s | |||
| Range:4 / 6 / 8 / 12 (number of mirrors) 2 / 3 / 4 / 6 (collapse threshold) 4 m (charm radius) | |||
| Misc:100 m (cast range) 50% (absorbed damage per mirror) 1 (limit of carousels) | |||
| Subsumable to Helminth |
- Gara summons a perpetually spinning carousel of 4 / 6 / 8 / 12 spectral mirrors at the targeted location within 100 meters. Enemies within 4 meters from the mirrors are enticed to move inside the carousel and attack a chosen mirror upon seeing their own reflections. Each mirror will break upon receiving 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 damage and release it as spectral energy back to the attacker. When 2 / 3 / 4 / 6 mirrors are broken, the carousel collapses in an explosion inflicting 800 / 1,000 / 1,200 / 1,500 damage to all enemies inside the ring. Spectrorage lasts for 10 / 14 / 18 / 22 seconds or until all mirrors break from collapse.
- Mirror and collapse damage are affected by Ability Strength.
- Number of mirrors, collapse threshold, and charm radius are affected by Ability Range, while cast range is not.
- The carousel expands or shrinks with the total amount of mirrors spawned on cast, and the distance between the mirror line and the center is equal to the charm radius.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Casting speed is affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
- The carousel rotates clockwise constantly, which causes enemies targeting specific mirrors to turn and follow them.
- Mirrors have a higher Threat Level than players. Enemies within the carousel will ignore players as long as there are intact mirrors remaining. This appears to affect Acolytes and can make them stop attacking or using abilities.
- Mirrors do not have collision and will phase through objects, walls, players, and AI.
- Mirrors can path up and down terrain where elevation difference exists.
- Ability Synergy: If a Spectrorage mirror shatters inside Splinter Storm's radius, 50% of the mirror's damage is permanently added to Splinter Storm's damage per second until its duration expires.
- Mirror damage from Spectrorage is affected by Ability Strength, while the percentage absorbed is not affected and is capped at 50%.
- Absorbed damage can stack from multiple mirrors breaking inside Splinter Storm's radius.
- Splinter Storms on any targets can absorb damage from Spectrorage mirrors.
- Splinter Storm does not absorb damage from Spectrorage's collapse explosion.
- Casting Spectrorage stops Gara's movement and other actions.
- Can be recast while active. Only 1 carousel of mirrors may remain active per player.
- Can be cast while in midair.
- Cannot be cast without a valid horizontal surface within cast range as well as directly on or below the aiming reticle.
- Spectral mirrors appear as collections of floating glass fragments that emanate energy toward the center of the carousel.
- Upon breaking, the mirrors release their energy while they remain floating in motion.
- Mirrors and their energy color are affected by Gara's chosen Warframe energy color.
- Subsuming Gara to the Helminth will offer Spectrorage and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Main article: Mass Vitrify (edit)
|
 ENERGY: 75 KEY 4 |
Mass Vitrify Create an expanding ring of molten glass that slowly crystallizes enemies who enter. When the expansion is complete, the ring hardens to block weapons fire. The ring draws extra strength from the health and shields of crystallized enemies. Use Shattered Lash to smash the ring and send razor-sharp glass flying outward.
|
Strength:20% / 30% / 40% / 50% (damage multiplier) 1250 / ? / 1950 / 2350 (ring segment base health) 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 (segment explosion damage) |
| Duration:2 / 2.25 / 2.75 / 3 s (expansion time) 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 s (effect duration) | |||
| Range:2 m (ring initial radius) 8 / 8.75 / 10.25 / 11 m (ring max radius) 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 m (explosion range) | |||
| Misc:3 m/s (ring expansion rate) 3 m (ring initial height) 12 m (ring max height) 3 s (crystallization time) 12 (ring segments) |
- Gara coats herself in a shell of hardened glass, becoming immobile and invulnerable to damage as she unleashes a radial ring of molten glass that expands outward and downward. The molten glass ring's initial horizontal radius from Gara is 2 meters, which expands horizontally at a rate of 3 meters per second over 2 / 2.25 / 2.75 / 3 seconds, up to a maximum horizontal radius of 8 / 8.75 / 10.25 / 11 meters. Ring expansion initially drains 3 energy per second, which ramps up to 5 energy per second over the course of expansion. The molten glass ring's initial height is 3 meters high, which expands downward up to a maximum height of 12 meters.
- Initial horizontal radius and expansion rate are affected by Ability Range, while initial and maximum vertical ring heights are not.
- Expansion time is affected by Ability Duration.
- Activation energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency only, while initial and final energy drain per second are affected by both Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
- Molten glass bypasses all entities, obstacles, and terrain as it expands.
- When the molten glass ring is created, its base is aligned with Gara's feet to ensure that the initial ring height is about Warframe height.
- Ring height expands downward much faster than ring horizontal radius, reaching full height before expansion time completes.
- Mass Vitrify's glass undergoes two distinct phases with diverse effects on Gara, allies, and enemies:
- Enemies that contact the molten glass are crystallized over 3 seconds, slowing in movement and attack speed until completely solidified in place for 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 seconds. Crystallized enemies receive 20% / 30% / 40% / 50% more damage from weapons and abilities. Each enemy crystallized contributes extra health to the barrier formation phase, based on a portion of their maximum Shields and Health.
- Damage multiplier is affected by Ability Strength, while crystallize converted health is affected by both Ability Strength and Armor mods such as Steel Fiber equipped on Gara.
- Damage multiplier is applied once the enemy is completely crystallized.
- Effect duration is affected by Ability Duration, while crystallization time is not.
- Damage multiplier is affected by Ability Strength, while crystallize converted health is affected by both Ability Strength and Armor mods such as
- If Gara or allies are affected by a Radiation proc, allies may also be vitrified. This includes Sortie Defense Operatives, Syndicates Operatives, and Kavor Defectors in addition to fellow Tenno.
- On death, crystallized enemies shatter into glass with visual and sound effects.
- Barrier segment base health and segment explosion damage are affected by Ability Strength, while crystallize converted health is affected by both Ability Strength and Armor mods such as Steel Fiber equipped on Gara.
- Barrier segment health uses the following expression:
Modified Health = (Base Health + 5 × (Base Armor × (1 + Armor Mods) + Additional Armor)) × (1 + Strength Mods) + Absorbed Health - With a maxed Steel Fiber and Intensify a wall segment would have
(2350 + 5 × (125 × (1 + 110%))) × (1 + 30%) = 4,761.25 Health before accounting for converted health from crystallized enemies (values resulting from intermediate calculations are rounded down to the nearest whole number).
- Barrier segment health uses the following expression:
- Minimum Health added from crystallized enemies is affected by Ability Strength and Gara's Armor, while Maximum health added is affected by neither.
- Minimum Health added from each enemy affected by the crystallization phase is
Health Added = (320 + 5 × (Base Armor × (1 + Armor Mods) + Additional Armor)) × (1 + Strength Mods) - Maximum Health added is
Health Added = (Max Enemy Health + Max Enemy Shields) ÷ 10 - Whichever formula results in a greater value is used for health added.
- Minimum Health added from each enemy affected by the crystallization phase is
- Segment explosion range is affected by Ability Range.
- The number of wall segments and armor-to-health conversion multiplier are not affected by mods.
- During the crystallization phase, the number of total crystallize converted health is displayed beside the shield and health indicators on the HUD, as a buff icon with the number of converted health below the icon.
- The number of intact glass barrier segments is shown on the ability icon while at least 1 segment exists.
- Ally players, allied AI, ally weapon fire, and Warframe abilities can pass through unhindered. However, some friendly projectile-based weapons are deflected when striking either side of the wall, such as Miter and Arca Plasmor.
- Some allies such as hacked Eidolon Lures and Sortie Defense Operatives cannot pass through.
- Most enemies are blocked by the glass barrier from moving and attacking through it, including Kuva Clouds. However, most bosses and the Eidolon Teralyst can pass through unhindered.
- Area of effect attacks (e.g., Shockwave MOAs and Bombards) and weapons with innate punch through (e.g. Tusk Grineer units) can hit through the glass barrier.
- Ability Synergy:
- If Gara strikes her own Mass Vitrify glass barrier with Shattered Lash's glass longsword, the barrier is shattered and destroyed in an explosion of glass fragments that inflicts Shattered Lash's damage and 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 damage to all enemies within 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters from the barrier's exterior surface.
- Explosion has a damage composition of 18.75% Impact, 37.5% Puncture, and 37.5% Slash.
- Explosion damage is affected by Ability Strength.
- Shattered Lash's damage is affected by equipped melee mods including:
- Damage (e.g., Steel Charge and Pressure Point)
- Puncture and Slash damage (e.g., Sundering Strike and Jagged Edge)
- Elemental damage (e.g., Shocking Touch)
- Augments (e.g. Bright Purity) and Rivens that add any of the aforementioned stats
- Manticore's damage bonus.
- Shattered Lash is not affected by critical chance and critical multiplier mods (e.g., Organ Shatter and True Steel), status chance mods (e.g., Drifting Contact), melee range mods (e.g., Reach), and faction-specific mods (e.g., Smite Grineer).
- Shattered Lash is not affected by the equipped melee weapon's stats and innate effects.
- Damage (e.g.,
- Explosion has a damage composition of 18.75%
- Shatter explosion range is affected by Ability Range.
- Resulting explosion has infinite punch through throughout its entire effective range and can hit enemies behind walls.
- Glass longsword's range is affected by Ability Range, while blade knockback radius and sweep arc are not.
- Mass Vitrify's total damage uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength:
Total Damage = [Shattered Lash Base Damage × (1 + Base Damage Bonus) × (1 + Ability Strength)] + [Mass Vitrify Explosion Damage × (1 + Ability Strength)].- As an example, with a maxed Steel Charge, Pressure Point, and Intensify, a rank-3 Mass Vitrify will have (800 × 2.8 × 1.3) = 2,912 Puncture or Slash damage + (800 × 1.3) = 1,040 damage = 3,952 total damage before resistances.
- As an example, with a maxed
- Explosion is radial and not dependent on the direction Gara strikes Mass Vitrify with Shattered Lash. Gara must strike a currently intact part of the barrier, but the explosion will occur even around broken segments.
- Enemies within the barrier's interior area are not affected by the explosion damage.
- Mass Vitrify's total damage uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength:
Splinter Storm on Gara, as well as any affected allies that contact the molten glass during its expansion. Shattered Lash and Splinter Storm is within the explosion radius on the outside of the barrier, 50% of the glass fragments' damage is permanently added to Splinter Storm's damage per second until its duration expires.
- Explosion damage from Mass Vitrify is affected by Ability Strength, while the percentage absorbed is not affected and is capped at 50%.
- Absorbed damage is also affected by equipped melee mods including:
- Base damage (e.g., Steel Charge), elemental damage, and physical damage mods.
- As Shattered Lash's damage is not comprised of Impact damage, physical damage mods that affect Impact have no effect on absorbed damage for Splinter Storm.
- Absorbed damage is calculated after additional damage from mods.
- Base damage (e.g.,
- Absorbed damage can stack from repeated Mass Vitrify explosions inside Splinter Storm's radius.
- Splinter Storms on Gara herself and allies can absorb damage from Mass Vitrify's explosion, while storms on affected enemies do not.
- Initial casting animation and release animation are affected by casting speed, from mods such as Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
- Can be recast while active to expand molten glass and create a new barrier. Only 1 barrier may remain active per player.
- When the barrier duration expires, the glass barrier shatters harmlessly into fragments that float away upward.
- Molten glass, hardened glass, and crystal tint color and particle effects energy color are affected by Gara's chosen Warframe energy color.
- As with most abilities, if a Nullifier Crewman bubble touches the glass, it will end the ability prematurely if casting, and instantly shatter it without dealing any damage to surrounding enemies if already hardened. However, enemies hardened with glass will only harden prematurely if the nullifier touches them.
- Players are able to wall jump on the barriers from inside and outside.
- While Mass Vitrify is primarily a defensive tool, Gara players can convert it into an offensive tool by investing in Ability Range and Efficiency, both to increase the effective range of the resulting shrapnel explosion and reduce casting cost for repeated use. Equipping a high base damage weapon such as the Pennant and melee damage boosting Arcanes such as Arcane Blade Charger can further power up the resulting shrapnel explosion with Shattered Lash's damage boosted by melee weapon stats and then synergizing with Mass Vitrify.
- For this offensive purpose, Gara players can opt to eschew Ability Duration to either further augment Range and Efficiency or to increase Ability Strength. As this may entail reducing the effectiveness of either Spectrorage or Splinter Storm, Helminth may replace one of them for a damage-increasing ability such as Rhino's Roar, Mirage's Eclipse or Mesa's Shooting Gallery to augment Shattered Lash's base damage which, in turn, will also increase Mass Vitrify's shrapnel explosion.
- For this offensive purpose, Gara players can opt to eschew Ability Duration to either further augment Range and Efficiency or to increase Ability Strength. As this may entail reducing the effectiveness of either

Update 30.3 (2021-05-25)
- Introduced Gara Prime.
PLUS! As an added Gara QoL change, her glass armor no longer disappears during Splinter Storm!
You have requested many times (many, many, times) to have a UI toggle that will give you control over whether Gara's glass armor parts will "shatter" while using Splinter Storm. You want to use this power all the time, but it makes your warframe look so much less... shiny when you do.
Given how persistent and unified this feedback is, we've decided to simply make this power not remove her armor plates while it is active. Adding a toggle adds significantly more complexity to the code and significantly more chances for things to break than just not having the effect at all.
We hope this change will be appealing to everybody living on the cutting edge of Gara fashion.
- Fixes:
- Added a dual wield custom HUD offset handling for Gara.
Update 29.10 (2021-03-19)
- Fixed Gara’s Mass Vitrify ability description incorrectly showing the Heat damage icon for its Explosion Damage. It will now correctly show the Puncture, Slash, and Impact icons as intended.
Update 29.0 (2020-08-25)
- Fixed issues where enemies would not attack Gara’s Spectorage mirrors.
Update 28.3 (2020-08-12)
- Warframe Blueprint and Component costs from Simaris have been reduced by 50%!
Update 28.1 (2020-07-08)
- Xoris Interaction Changes
Certain Warframe Abilities and Exalted weapons will now reset the Melee Combo Counter only if the Xoris is being used. The overwhelming Damage output of certain Warframe Abilities was not our intention with an infinite Melee Combo weapon, and the conversation of ‘Xoris or you’re doing it wrong’ is greatly restrictive in terms of player choice.
Warframe Abilities / Exalted Warframe weapons affected by this are:
- Gara Shattered Lash

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)
- Armor Change:
- Gara: 125 to 150
- Why: The conversation surrounding Arcane Guardian led to a significant review of Armor stats on Warfarmes. The Majority of Warframes received an increase in the Armor stat to increase survivability. Compounded with Shield Gating and the numerous other changes covered, we expect a much more fair feeling playing field for all Warframes.

- Fixed rare script error with Gara’s Mass Vitrify.
Update 22.6 (2017-12-07)
- Mass Vitrify
- Mass Vitrify is no longer invulnerable and now has sections that break off and explode as it absorbs incoming damage. The amount of damage absorbed scales with Power Strength and Armor. Explosion damage scales with Power Strength.
- Mass Vitrify no longer has a duration and remains until recast, destroyed from damage, or smashed with Shattered Lash.
Gara is still relatively new as far as Warframes are concerned but since her release, we’ve found (and many players have found) that an invulnerable and almost impenetrable barrier doesn’t allow for a very engaging gameplay experience. We know that other Warframes also have Powers with similar issues, but adding a shattering component to Mass Vitrify is a change we could easily implement that is consistent with Gara’s glass theme while also making Mass Vitrify more interactive.
With these new changes, we can tweak the absorption and explosion values as necessary to make sure Mass Vitrify is both fun and effective. Please keep your feedback constructive and let us know what you think after you’ve had a chance to test these new changes.
