Hysteria

• Overcome with rage, Valkyr unleashes a pair of energy talons, the Valkyr Talons, as her melee Exalted Weapon. Normal attacks deal 100 / 125 / 200 / 250 damage within 2 meters.
  • Damage is distributed evenly between Impact, Puncture, and Slash.
  • Wall attacks and slide attacks inflict 300 / 375 / 600 / 750 damage for each strike.
  • Aerial attacks inflict 200 / 250 / 400 / 500 damage.
  • Slam attacks inflict 300 damage within 5 meters.
• Attacks have a 200% critical multiplier with a 50% critical chance and a 10% status chance. Additionally, Valkyr is healed for 1% / 2% / 4% / 5% of the total melee damage she inflicts.
• Damage is affected by Ability Strength, the Melee Combo Counter, most mods, and buffs.
  • As an example, with a maxed Pressure Point, Shocking Touch and Intensify, the normal attacks of a rank-3 Hysteria will deal
    Base Damage × (1 + Damage Mods) × (1 + Elemental Mods) × (1 + Strength Mods) =
    250 × (1 + 1.2) × (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 1,358.5 damage.
  • The mods that can be equipped on and affect Valkyr Talons include:
    • damage (e.g., Steel Charge)
    • physical damage (e.g., Jagged Edge)
    • elemental damage (e.g., Shocking Touch)
    • faction (e.g., Smite Corpus)
    • channeling (e.g., Life Strike)
    • critical chance and damage (e.g., True Steel and Organ Shatter)
    • Status chance (e.g., Melee Prowess and Vicious Frost)
    • attack speed (e.g., Fury and Berserker)
    • range (e.g., Primed Reach)
    • Condition Overload
    • Drifting Contact
    • Healing Return
    • Relentless Combination
    • Shattering Impact
      • While officially Set Mod bonuses do not affect Exalted Weapons, the effect of Gladiator Mods still apply, as long as they aren’t equipped on Valkyr Talons and the Melee Combo Counter rank is above 1x.
  • Range mods do not affect the radius of slam attacks.
  • Valkyr Talons can not be equipped with weapon augments (e.g., Justice Blades), class-specific mods (e.g., Covert Lethality), Melee Combo Counter Mods (except Drifting Contact), or Acolyte Mods (e.g., Blood Rush).
  • Riven Mods are not generated for Valkyr Talons.
  • Hysteria's combo counter decay is affected by Power Spike.
  • Radial damage from slam attacks diminishes with distance, does not have a critical chance, is not affected by the Melee Combo Counter, and will cause enemies within range to suffer a knockdown.
  • Ground finishers inflict 1600% of the total modified damage from normal attacks. Prompted finishers inflict 6400% of the total modified damage from normal attacks as True Damage.
    • The damage composition of a ground finisher is the same as a modified normal attack; however, Impact damage from ground finishers is multiplied by 125%.
    • The finisher multipliers for both attacks are affected by Finishing Touch.
  • Each attack adds to the Melee Combo Counter; however, radial damage from slam attacks does not.
  • Hysteria's innate lifesteal is calculated from the total damage of Valkyr's melee attacks after resistances are applied. Hysteria's lifesteal is also additive when combined with other sources of lifesteal
    • For example, a maxed Life Strike and a rank-3 Hysteria will yield
      Base Lifesteal + Lifesteal Mods = 5% + 20% = 25% lifesteal on channeled hits.
    • Lifesteal is not affected by Ability Strength.
• While active, Valkyr becomes immune to all damage and status effects.
  • Status immunity includes crowd-controlling effects such as knockdowns, staggers, and Nauseous Crawler paralysis.
    • Certain attacks will still push Valkyr away, and shock waves will cause her to bounce into the air. However, these attacks will not force Valkyr to the ground.
    • Statuses that were already active when Hysteria was cast will not be removed. However, Valkyr will be immune to their damage regardless.
    • Valkyr is not immune to Commander teleportation, Regulator minimap disruption, Cryo Floors, Tar-Mutalist MOA slows, or Swarm-Mutalist MOA screen hazing.
• Valkyr emits an aura with a radius of 5 meters around her while Hysteria is active, and 30% of the total damage she ignores is stored. If any enemies within this aura have line-of-sight of Valkyr when Hysteria is deactivated, Valkyr will be dealt 25% of all stored damage as Impact damage.
  • The aura will continue to grow up to 20 meters and each kill reduces it by 1 meter. It cannot be reduced below 5 meters under any circumstances.
  • Damage percentages are not affected by Ability Strength.
  • Aura radius is not affected by Ability Range.
  • Stored damage is calculated from the total damage Valkyr ignores before resistances are applied.
  • The amount of stored damage can be monitored at the top right of the HUD under Hysteria's ability icon.
  • Highlighted enemies become unmarked if Valkyr moves out of range, negating the damage taken when Hysteria expires.
  • Since enemies need line-of-sight, invisibility prevents the damage.
• After activation, a percentage counter will appear on the ability icon. The percentage increases to 100% over the course of 40 seconds.
  • Hysteria consumes 2.5 energy per second at 0% while active. The cost will increase by an additional 2.5 until it caps out at 15 energy per second at 100%. Hysteria will remain active until either Valkyr's energy is depleted, or the ability is deactivated by casting it again (default 4 ).
    • Activation energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency, and the energy drain is affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
    • Valkyr cannot replenish energy using Team Energy Restores, Rift Plane's energy regeneration, Energy Siphon, Zenurik's Energizing Dash, or Trinity's Energy Vampire while Hysteria is active. However, Energy Orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, and/or Arcane Energize will still replenish energy normally.
    • Hysteria's energy drain is not converted into shields by Augur Mods.
• Hysteria is affected by and can trigger Warframe and Exodia Arcanes.
• While Hysteria is active, Valkyr Claws are the only weapon Valkyr can use. However, her other abilities can still be cast normally.
• Hysteria comes installed with its own unique stance. Additional combos will be unlocked as Hysteria increases in rank.
• Despite being invulnerable, it's still possible for Valkyr to block with Hysteria active.
  • Blocking does not reduce total ignored damage.
  • Channeling while blocking does not consume energy, reflect damage or trigger Reflection.
    • Valkyr will still open up melee attackers for finishers.
• Has a cast time of 1 second, affected by Natural Talent.
  • Despite being classified as its own weapon, Speed Holster will have no effect on casting speed. However, it will affect Hysteria's 'unequip' animation, played upon its deactivation.
• Hysteria's attacks can damage enemies across the Rift Plane.

Main article: Valkyr Talons

Valkyr Talons are Valkyr and Valkyr Prime's signature Exalted Weapon that can only be used upon activating the ability Hysteria. The weapon exclusively uses the Hysteria stance.

Main article: Hysteria (Stance)

Hysteria is a unique Stance exclusive to Valkyr Talons that can only be acquired and used by activating Valkyr's fourth ability, Hysteria. This Stance overrides the Stance on any currently equipped melee weapon for as long as Hysteria remains active.

Main article: Hysterical Assault

Hysterical Assault is a Warframe Augment/Exilus mod for Valkyr that allows her to pounce onto enemies while in Hysteria, dealing damage on contact.

• There may be a dark red hue for the duration of Hysteria, making it difficult to see enemies. This is especially problematic if Infested Parasites are nearby.
  • Turning 'Color Correction' off in Options > Display can alleviate this issue.
• Her invulnerability can be taken advantage of in reviving teammates in exchange for consuming energy and not attacking enemies with her powerful claws.
  • This can also be used to escape powerful opponents at the middle point of this ability. Allowing greater hit and run tactics.
• It's preferable to use Steel Charge over Growing Power when modding for pure damage as the former adds more damage to Hysteria than the latter.
  • Even with Steel Charge equipped, using Power Drift will still add more damage than Coaction Drift.
• It's recommended to activate Melee Auto-targeting System in the options as Valkyr's awkward attack animations may miss a lot.
• Players who suffer low FPS (Frames per second) may want to avoid attack speed boosts, such as Warcry, while using Hysteria. High attack speeds can result in a loss of DPS as melee attacks are "semi-automatic".
• Charge Attacks in Hysteria open enemies to Finishers, allowing you to reliably use the damage boost without spending energy on her Paralysis ability.
  • This finisher also knocks enemies down, allowing for a successive ground finisher for a quick burst of high damage.

Maximization is a form of specialization: mods may be blended to result in values that vary between the top-end limits listed here. Click any maximized link to learn how to build it.

• Maximized Ability Duration reduces minimum channeling cost to 0.82 energy per second and maximum channeling cost to 4.9 energy per second.
  • Has no negative effects on this ability.
• Maximized Ability Efficiency reduces activation cost to 6.25 energy, minimum channeling cost to 0.63 energy per second, and maximum channeling cost to 3.75 energy per second.
  • Has no negative effects on this ability.
• Maximized Ability Range has no positive effects on this ability.
  • Reduces damage to 100.
• Maximized Ability Strength increases damage to 1030.
  • Without Energy Conversion and Growing Power, increases damage to 842.5.
  • Increases activation cost to 38.75 energy, minimum channeling cost to 5.35 energy per second, and maximum channeling cost to 32.07 energy per second.

• Using Hysteria the moment you are downed by enemies will cause you to bug. Sometimes, you will only be able to use your actual melee weapon, but it will swing as though it is your claws; Other times you will be able to use your other weapons, and all while being invincible. You must wait until the effect ends for the bug to clear.
• Attacks outside the vulnerability radius of Hysteria are still counted to the damage received in the Hysteria status, however these additional points do no effect at the end of the duration.
• If only a melee weapon is equipped in the player's loadout, casting Hysteria while holding either a Codex or Synthesis Scanner will cause Hysteria's attacks to instead use the equipped melee's quick-attacks, while also rendering both combos and blocking unusable.
