Arch Line Launch a tethered hook that either pulls enemies close, or pulls the Warframe toward any stationary objects it hooks onto. Introduced in Update 26.1 (2019-11-22) |
 Strength:300 / 400 / 500 / 600 ( Slash damage)
|
 Duration:1s (combo window)
| |||
 Range:150 / 200 / 250 / 300 m
|
Info
- Itzal expends
25 energy to fire a grappling hook that covers a range of 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 meters. If the hook hits terrain, the Itzal will pull the user towards the hook's location. If an ally or enemy is hooked, they will be pulled towards the user's location. Enemies are 
Ragdolled and dealt 
300 / 400 / 500 / 600 Slash damage. - If Arch Line is successfully cast within a window of 1 second after the previous cast, its damage will be multiplied by 200%, and its energy cost will be reduced by 50%. Any successful cast thereafter will multiply Arch Line's damage by 400% and reduce its energy cost by 75%.
- Energy cost reduction is applied to Arch Line's modified activation cost. As an example, with a maxed System Reroute the next successful cast will consume 25 × 0.45 × 0.5 = 5.625 energy, though the cost will actually cap at 6.25 energy. So any successful casts thereafter will also consume 6.25 energy.
- The duration of the combo window and the respective damage multiplier for the next successful cast are displayed underneath the HUD's targeting reticle.
- If no casts are performed within the combo window, the damage and energy cost will reset.
- Energy cost reduction is applied to Arch Line's modified activation cost. As an example, with a maxed
- Despite having a noticeable visual and audio effect, Arch Line is silent.
- Arch Line is a one-handed ability when cast onto terrain and can be used while performing various maneuvers and actions without interruption. When used upon allies, both the user and their ally will also treat this action as a one-handed ability. However, casting on enemies will cause interruption.
- Arch Line has a slight delay between activation and pulling either an enemy or the user, as the grappling hook has a minute travel time.
- Has a cast delay of about ~0.9 seconds between uses.
Tips & Tricks
- Using Arch Line on allies may be used tactically, either to save them from a group of enemies or to pull them to a higher vantage point. (Discretion is advised when participating in such behavior, as it may be intended and/or received as an attempt at griefing.)

Penumbra Activates a cloaking field that hides the Warframe and any nearby allies who remain stationary. Introduced in Hotfix 15.7.2 (2014-12-19) |
Strength:N/A
|
| Duration:N/A
| |||
| Range:40 / 52 / 64 / 76 m
|
Info
- Itzal deploys a cloaking field that renders itself and all allies within 40 / 52 / 64 / 76 meters Invisible for as long as they are stationary, making enemies unable to find and attack them.
- In Landscape missions, the range of this ability is reduced down to 4 / 5.2 / 6.4 / 7.6 meters.
- Allies that move within the field will have their invisibility removed. If the caster moves, all nearby allies will be revealed.
- Turning, aiming, and firing the Archgun in place does not break the cloak.
- Casting abilities using the Blink maneuver does not break the cloak.
- While Penumbra is active, enemies will be susceptible to Stealth Damage Multipliers from melee attacks as long as the Itzal remains stationary. Lunging with melee attacks will deactivate the cloaking field.
- In Landscape missions, the range of this ability is reduced down to
- Penumbra costs 15 energy to activate, then drains 5 energy per second while active and will remain active until Itzal's energy is depleted, or the ability is deactivated by uncloaking or pressing the ability key again.
- Itzal can still receive energy from Energy Orbs while Penumbra is active.
- Activating Penumbra will break homing locks for seeking projectiles, such as the missiles fired by Hellion Dargyns, causing them to veer wildly off-course.
- While cloaked, Codex Scanners can be equipped and target enemies but scans will not trigger.
- Casting this ability nullifies a Temporal Dreg tractor beam's hold on the Itzal.
Tips & Tricks
- Take advantage of the ability to shoot out of the cloaking field to attack enemies whilst tougher Archwings draw fire, as Itzal doesn't have as much Armor, Health, or Shielding as the Odonata or Elytron.
- You can still use the basic Blink ability to move around without breaking the Penumbra field. Combining the two abilities is great for escaping and recovering shields and health, as enemies won't pursue you.
- Use Penumbra as a form of cover or protection whilst reviving incapacitated allies; they'll also receive the benefits of the cloak, and so won't be attacked by enemies as soon as they've recovered. This gives them more time to get their bearings and fire off any useful area-suppression abilities they might have.
- Penumbra is very useful while protecting a point in Interception. While cloaked you cannot be targeted, allowing you to easily kill enemies, and when you run low on energy use Cosmic Crush to quickly gather energy from killed enemies to repeat the process.

Cosmic Crush Forms a miniature black hole that sucks in all nearby objects before rupturing in a massive shock wave. Introduced in Hotfix 15.7.2 (2014-12-19) |
Strength:800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500 ( Blast damage)
|
| Duration:N/A
| |||
| Range:80 / 100 / 120 / 140 m (explosion radius) 120 / 120 / 140 / 140 m (pull radius) |
Info
- Itzal expends 75 energy to form a black hole in front of itself that violently pulls in all enemies and Pickups within 120 / 120 / 140 / 140 meters before exploding to deal 800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500 Blast damage within 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 meters.
- In Landscape missions, the pull range is reduced to 12 / 12 / 14 / 14 meters and the explosion radius is reduced to 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 meters.
- Damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and decreases with distance.
- In Landscape missions, the pull range is reduced to
- Pull strength seems dependent on enemy mass and speed; e.g. an Ogma won't be pulled as close as a Dargyn.
Augment
- Main article: Cold Snap
Cold Snap is an Itzal Augment Mod for Cosmic Crush that inflicts a 
Cold proc to any enemy affected by the ability, with enemies close to the player being frozen outright.
Tips & Tricks
- Cosmic Crush can also be used to pull items (e.g. health orbs, resources) to the user. It has a much larger pull range for items than the base Ability Range implies.
- Activating this ability will not break Penumbra, allowing for safer gathering of energy/health restores.
- Care should be taken with this ability. Whilst it is powerful at lower levels, pulling enemies in close could be a bad idea; if any survive, they'll be in the perfect position to attack.

Fighter Escort Deploys drones that fight alongside the Warframe, each detonating in a destructive blast when killed. Introduced in Hotfix 15.7.2 (2014-12-19) |
Strength:2 / 4 / 6 / 8 (drones) 1000 / 1500 / 2000 / 2500 (explosion Blast damage)
|
| Duration:15 / 20 / 25 / 30 s
| |||
| Range:60 / 100 / 120 / 160 m (explosion radius) 80 m (beam range) |
Info
- Itzal expends 100 energy to launch 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 Locust Drones that independently attack enemies within a range of 80 meters using lasers that deal continuous Electricity damage. The drones last for 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 seconds. If a drone is destroyed by enemy fire or detonates after the ability's duration expires, it will deal 1000 / 1500 / 2000 / 2500 Blast damage within a radius of 60 / 100 / 120 / 160 meters.
- In Landscape missions, the beam range is reduced to 8 meters the detonation radius is reduced to 6 / 10 / 12 / 16 meters.
- Explosion damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and decreases with distance.
- Drones require line-of-sight for targeting acquisition.
- In Landscape missions, the beam range is reduced to
- Drones will not be transported by Blink, will not open fire while under the effects of Penumbra, and will not attack while sprinting.
- Cannot be recast while active.
Tips & Tricks
- The drones can distract enemies trying to attack you, drawing fire away from you (giving your shields time to regenerate) and dealing a little extra damage. Whilst they are fairly easily destroyed they are also small and agile, which means enemies without beam weapons will have a hard time hitting them. They can also be useful at distracting enemies away from a defense target such as a satellite in a Mobile Defense mission.
- Whilst ineffective against high-level enemies, the drones can easily destroy lower-level targets by focusing their fire.
