CODEX

The battlefield trembles before Gara's crystalline power, her ringing touch transforming opponents to targets of brittle beauty.

This is Gara, the unbreakable warrior. Manipulator of glass, she fractures the resolve of her enemies.

The shattered remains of her enemies are all that Gara leaves behind. Tread lightly.

—Lotus

What is known of the ancient warrior known as Gara comes to us from folklore and oral tradition. It is said that she was Unum's closest companion, and that when the Lotus instructed her children to flee Gara remained, refusing to leave the side of the one she loved best.

When the Sentient was done razing a great many other Towers, when it turned its myriad eyes and receptors toward the Unum, it was Gara who gave herself to protect her friend - shattering the Sentient. The mindless monstrosities that now stride the Plains - the Teralysts - are all that remain of it.

—The Glass Warrior Fragment

Release Date: October 12th, 2017

Clad in lustrous vitrum, Gara sunders her foes with adamantine shards, reflects enemy attacks through enchanted mirrors, and reshapes the landscape with molten crystal. Gara crystallized in Update 22.0 (2017-10-12).

Acquisition

Gara's main blueprint will be awarded upon completion of the Saya's Vigil quest. Gara's component blueprints are acquired from Plains of Eidolon Bounties.

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

Grineer! Spread out! Crawl if you have to! I need more glass! It is the key to a power I've never seen! The power to kill... a Sentient!

—Vay Hek

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.

Notes

If Gara wields her Signature Weapons:
- Astilla/ Astilla Prime has 80 more max ammo.
- Fusilai has increased Projectile Speed.

CODEX

Continue the legend of the glass-armored warrior Gara. Dominate the battlefield with the power and purity of crystal.

Of all our sleek gargoyles, our Void-born masquerade, how to honor the one who volunteered willingly, knowing the truth? Whose little act of courage - twinkled like a petty Ayatan, before our golden indifference?

And Nihil cried: "Glass her, for her presumption!" Until the arches rang with laughter. So be it. I shall encase you in crystal most fine. That the purity of your stigmatization might shard the sunlight itself.

The unbroken. Gara.

—Ballas

Release Date: May 25th, 2021

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:
$Base Damage \times (1 + Damage Mods) \times (1 + Elemental Mods) \times (1 + Strength Mods)$
- As an example, with a maxed Pressure Point, Shocking Touch and Intensify, a rank-3 Shattered Lash will deal
  $800 \times (1 + 1.2) \times (1 + 0.9) \times (1 + 0.3) = 4,347.2$ 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)
  - Elemental damage (e.g., Shocking Touch)
  - Combo (e.g., Corrupt Charge, Body Count)

  - Amalgam Ripkas True Steel does not cause gore.
  - Quickening, True Punishment, and Exodia Triumph bonus combo count chance does not apply as the ability does not increase combo counter.
  - Arcane Avenger applies a flat +45% flat critical chance and can be activated through Mass Vitrify's invulnerability.
  - Arcane Fury applies +180% melee damage.
  - Exodia Might does not lifesteal.

Last updated: Update 30.0 (2021-04-13)

- Manticore's damage bonus applies to Shattered Lash.
- Shattered Lash gains 25% additional damage for each combo multiplier, up to a 3.75x damage multiplier at 12x combo, or 4.0x with Venka Prime equipped at 13x combo.
- Shattered Lash is not affected by the equipped melee weapon's stats or its innate effects.
  - The exceptions to this rule are:
    - Weapons that modify the combo meter, including the bonus initial combo count passives for Furax Wraith (20), Synoid Heliocor (20), Fragor Prime (30), and Venka Prime's increased combo cap.
    - Gazal Machete's bonus +25% corrosive damage upon Djinn's Fatal Attraction.
    - Ack & Brunt's collected elemental bonus, up to +70%.
    - Lesion's +100% bonus toxin damage upon inflicting a status effect.
  - Casting Shattered Lash while wielding Xoris will bypass its infinite combo extender, resetting the counter if the effective combo duration has expired.
- 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.

Tap 1 for quick cast to thrust the glass sword where you aim, puncturing through all enemies in a line to inflict damage, knockdown and knockback. Thrust allows Gara to keep on the move, use Maneuvers, as well as fire and reload weapons.

Hold the button for hold cast to sweep the sword, slashing all enemies in an arc to inflict 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.

Modify your melee weapon with base damage, elemental damage, and and 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 or 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.

Use on an enemy target to amplify Shattered Lash's damage on it.

Cast 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.

Crystallize enemies using 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.

Create a Mass Vitrify barrier and strike it down with Shattered Lash, destroying it in an explosion of glass fragments that damage enemies on the outside of the barrier. Thrust or sweep determines the physical damage type the explosion damage will adopt, allowing you to adjust its damage potential against different factions.

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)
		Duration:10 / 14 / 18 / 22 s
		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.
  - Damage per second is distributed between 20% Impact, 40% Puncture, and 40% Slash.
  - Damage reduction caps at 90%, achievable with minimum 129% Ability Strength (ie. maxed Intensify equipped) at max rank.
  - Damage reduction affects Overshield, Shield and Health.
  - Damage multiplier affects Splinter Storm's damage per second, causing the affected enemy target to receive increased damage from the Splinter Storm around it.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- 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, damage from Splinter Storm does not cross the Rift Plane.
- Enemies debuffed with Splinter Storm become immune to pushback and pull effects, including those of Splinter Storm, Ferrox and Tether Grenades.
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 will also refresh the duration of Splinter Storm on Gara, as well as any affected allies that contact the molten glass during its expansion.

If Mass Vitrify's barrier is destroyed by 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.
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	1.5/s	6
1	2/s	7
2	2.5/s	8
3	3/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.

ENERGY: 75 KEY 3	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.
  - Damage is distributed evenly between Impact, Puncture, and Slash.
  - Mirror damage is only applied against the enemy that breaks the mirror. Collapse damage applies to all enemies inside Spectrorage and diminishes with distance from the center.
- 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.

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. Energy Drain: 3 s^-1, ramp up to 5 s^-1	Strength:20% / 30% / 40% / 50% (damage multiplier) 1250 / ? / ? / 2350 (ring segment base health) 500 / ? / ? / 800 (segment explosion damage) 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 (shatter explosion damage)
		Duration: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) 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 m (segment explosion range) 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 m (shatter explosion range)
		Misc: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. Ring expansion occurs over 3 seconds, initially draining 3 energy per second which ramps up to 5 energy per second over the course of expansion. The molten glass ring's initial horizontal radius from Gara is 2 meters, which expands up to a maximum horizontal radius of 8 / 8.75 / 10.25 / 11 meters. 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 is affected by Ability Range, while initial and maximum ring heights are not.
- Maximum horizontal radius is affected by both Ability Range and Ability Duration.
- 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.
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.

Upon pressing the ability key again (default 4 ), when maximum horizontal radius is reached, or when Gara runs out of Energy, Gara sheds her glass shell as the molten glass ring solidifies into a hardened glass barrier.

The glass barrier consists of a circle made out of 12 individual segments, each possessing 1250 / ? / ? / 2350 base health, plus Gara's armor value multiplied by 500%. For each enemy affected by the crystallization phase, Mass Vitrify also converts a portion of their maximum shields and health into extra health for the glass barrier segments. When a segment's health is depleted, it explodes outward and damages all enemies for 500 / ? / ? / 800 damage in a range of 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters. Glass barrier lasts until all segments are destroyed or when Mass Vitrify is recast.

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:
  $Modified Health = (Base Health + 5 \times (Base Armor \times (1 + Armor Mods) + Additional Armor)) \times (1 + Strength Mods) + Absorbed Health$
- 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).
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
  $Health Added = (320 + 5 \times (Base Armor \times (1 + Armor Mods) + Additional Armor)) \times (1 + Strength Mods)$
- Maximum Health added is
  $Health Added = (Max Enemy Health + Max Enemy Shields) \div 10$
- Whichever formula results in a greater value is used for health added.
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.

Player and AI interaction with the glass barrier have notable differences:

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.
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 $(800 \times 2.8 \times 1.3) = 2,912$ Puncture or Slash damage + $(800 \times 1.3) = 1,040$ damage $= 3,952$ total damage before resistances.
- 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.
- Shatter explosion range is affected by Ability Range.

Casting Mass Vitrify will also refresh the duration of on Gara, as well as any affected allies that contact the molten glass during its expansion.

If Mass Vitrify's barrier is destroyed by 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.
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.

Casting Mass Vitrify in the air often delays the effect of refreshing Splinter Storm's duration until Gara lands on the ground, or if done from extreme heights, not refresh it at all.

Interrupting the expansion quickly after casting might sometimes result in a "fake" barrier which does not block damage and can not be detonated with Shattered Lash. This can also occasionally happen without voluntarily stopping the expansion.

Operators that come into contact with the ring while it's expanding are slowed down.
