- 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.

- 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)
- critical chance and damage (e.g., True Steel and Organ Shatter)

- Range mods do not affect the radius of slam attacks.
- Valkyr Talons can not be equipped with Melee Combo Counter Mods (except Drifting Contact), Acolyte Mods (e.g., Blood Rush), or Amalgam Mods (e.g. Amalgam Organ Shatter).
- Riven Mods are not generated for Valkyr Talons.
- The combo counter will reset when equipped with Xoris.
- 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.
- 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.
- The damage composition of a ground finisher is the same as a modified normal attack; however,
- 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 heavy hits. - Lifesteal is not affected by Ability Strength.
- For example, a maxed
- As an example, with a maxed
- 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.
- Status immunity includes crowd-controlling effects such as knockdowns, staggers, and Nauseous Crawler paralysis.
- 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 Squad 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 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 ).
- Hysteria is affected by and can trigger Warframe and Exodia Arcanes.
- While Hysteria is active, Valkyr can cast her other abilities and user her primary and secondary weapon. Switching weapons will disable Hysteria's effects, including making her vulnerable to damage again; it will also pause the energy cost increase but will continue to drain energy at the current rate.
- Hysteria comes installed with its own unique stance. Additional combos will be unlocked as Hysteria increases in rank.
- 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.
- Despite being classified as its own weapon,
- Hysteria's attacks can damage enemies across the Rift Plane.

- 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.
- Even with Steel Charge equipped, using
- 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.

- 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.
