Kullervo/Abilities

Passive

• Melee Bonuses
• Rank Bonuses

All melee weapons equipped by Kullervo gain +75% Heavy Attack Efficiency and +100% Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed, in addition to a stylized Melee Combo Counter permanently displayed above his ability icons.

Kullervo's melee combo counter is passively increased by the following abilities:

•  Recompense successful hits on enemies add 1 melee combo per dagger, excluding missed daggers striking Kullervo himself.
• Melee weapon attacks and ability dagger hits spread by  Collective Curse add 1 melee combo per hit.
•  Storm of Ukko's direct damage adds 1 melee combo per tick.

Melee combo count, gain, and reduction are affected by various equipped melee Mods. It is not reduced or removed by entering an ability nullification zone or by Kullervo falling out of bounds.

If Kullervo does not have a melee weapon equipped, he will not be able to build melee combo and his unique counter UI will simply display a 1x multiplier.

Unlike most Warframes, when Kullervo ranks up he receives a special set of rank bonuses which are indicated at the middle-left of the Warframe Upgrade screen:

• +20 Health every three ranks, starting at rank 1.
• +10 Armor every three ranks, starting at rank 2.
• +5 Energy Capacity every three ranks, starting at rank 3.

At rank 30, this results in a total of:

• +200 Health
• +100 Armor
• +50 Energy Capacity

Info

• Kullervo expends 25 Energy to focus his vengeful wrath onto an enemy target on the reticle within a distance of 20 / 22 / 23 / 25 meters. Once cast, he swaps his current weapon to his equipped melee weapon and charges a Heavy Attack, becoming Invulnerable during its Wind Up time, then teleports to the target and strikes them simultaneously. The teleport heavy attack and subsequent melee attacks gain a +50% / +100% / +150% / +200% final Critical Chance bonus lasting for 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 seconds. After teleporting, Kullervo also refreshes his Maneuvers limited usage if previously performed already, such as Aim Glide, Double Jump, and Bullet Jump.
  • Has a 1 second cooldown after use.
  • Melee critical chance bonus begins countdown immediately on cast, before the heavy attack wind up.
  • The final critical chance applied to melee weapons is a flat value applied after mods (e.g. a melee weapon with 25% critical chance becomes 225% when a rank 3 Wrathful Advance is active).
  • If Kullervo does not have a melee weapon equipped, he will simply teleport to the target.
  • If the target dies before Kullervo finishes his heavy attack wind up, the teleport is aborted and he remains at his current position.
  • Invulnerability does not cleanse Status Effects.
• Hold down the ability button (default 1 ) to center a teleport marker toward the location on the aiming reticle, then release the button to cast Wrathful Advance and teleport Kullervo for the modded distance. After hold-cast, melee critical chance buff becomes active for the modded duration and refreshes his maneuvers.
  • Hold down and release the button while the teleport marker is on an enemy to lock onto the target and perform a heavy attack teleport.
    • The teleport marker snaps to the nearest enemy on the reticle and plays a distinct sound to indicate its lock-on.
  • Teleport marker reaches up to the ability's modded distance and can be placed in any direction including toward the skybox to teleport Kullervo upward.
  • Kullervo does not become briefly invulnerable if teleporting by hold-cast.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Kullervo's Passive increases Heavy Attack Efficiency by 75% and Heavy Attack Wind Up speed by 100% to amplify Wrathful Advance's heavy attack.
  •  Recompense,  Collective Curse, and  Storm of Ukko increase the Melee Combo Counter to amplify Wrathful Advance's heavy attack.
  • Wrathful Advance's heavy attack damage spreads through enemies under Collective Curse when striking a cursed target.
  • When  Wrath of Ukko is equipped, Wrathful Advance will reposition an active Storm of Ukko to the teleport location while also adding extra duration to the ability.
• Can be recast to refresh active melee critical chance buff duration to full.
• Wrathful Advance's melee critical bonus is dispelled by Kullervo entering an ability nullification zone or by falling out of bounds.
  • Kullervo can only teleport up to the border of a Nullifier Crewman's bubble. Hold-cast teleport marker is also obstructed by the bubble.
• While active, whenever Kullervo performs a melee heavy attack on most melee weapon types, an aggressive growl can be heard on each swing.
• Subsuming Kullervo to the Helminth will offer Wrathful Advance and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
  • However, Subsumed Wrathful Advance's range is reduced to 10 / 11 / 11.5 / 12.5 meters and melee critical chance bonus reduced to 25% / 50% / 75% / 100%
    • (only the targeting, the hold to teleport range is unchanged)
  • The bonus critical chance also applies to Exalted Weapons and pseudo-exalted abilities such as  Landslide,  Slash Dash,  Shattered Lash and  Whipclaw.

Bugs

• • • After teleporting with tap-cast, the last held gun always defaults to the primary weapon, despite previously holding secondary.
    • Can sometimes teleport into geometry near the target, becoming stuck inside terrain.
    • Hold-cast teleport marker is often blocked by Kullervo and his shoulder attachments.
    • Melee critical bonus buff icon and timer do not disappear from the UI upon dispel.
    • Some weapons' heavy attack animations can cause them to miss, such as with Edun.
    • Subsumed Wrathful Advance's range is not reduced, and has the same range as on Kullervo.

	2 50	Recompense Kullervo surrounds himself with daggers. Each dagger that strikes an enemy restores his health, but each dagger that misses an enemy strikes Kullervo, dealing a bit of damage. When Kullervo has max Health, he receives Overguard from struck enemies. Introduced in Update 33.5 (2023-06-21)	Strength:200 / 300 / 400 / 500  Slash damage per dagger hit + 250 / ? / ? / 350 HP or Overguard per dagger hit - 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 Overguard or HP drained per missed dagger 10,000 max Overguard
			Duration:N/A
			Range:5 / 6 / 7 / 8 m dagger orbit radius
			Misc: 10 daggers 5 s dagger airtime 1 s invulnerability time 3 daggers max per enemy  Slash and  Stagger status on hit 3 HP self damage threshold +1 melee combo per dagger hit on enemy

• Info

Info

• Kullervo expends 50 Energy to unsheathe 10 daggers that quickly expand into a horizontal orbit spanning 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters and surround him for 5 seconds. On cast, Kullervo also becomes Invulnerable for 1 second. When enemies enter the orbit, the daggers home in to stab them, with each individual enemy stabbed by a maximum of 3 daggers; each dagger inflicts 200 / 300 / 400 / 500  Slash damage, with guaranteed  Slash and  Stagger status effects to its target, then heals Kullervo by 250 / ? / ? / 350 Health points or grants him equal Overguard points if already at full health, capped to a maximum of 10,000 Overguard.
  • Health and Overguard points are gained the moment each dagger strikes an enemy.
  • Daggers do not require direct line of sight and will bypass terrain and obstacles in the environment to strike their targets.
• Daggers that strike enemies are removed from orbit, while daggers without targets will gradually turn and sheathe back into Kullervo when Recompense expires, with each dagger damaging him by 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 Overguard points or health points if Overguard is absent. Kullervo cannot be killed by his daggers and remains alive at a minimum health threshold of 3 points.
• Each direct dagger strike against enemies increases Kullervo's Melee Combo Counter by 1 hit.
  • Combo gain is increased by Combo Count Chance effects such as  Quickening,  True Punishment,  Exodia Triumph, and Naramon's  Opening Slam.
  • An ascending suspenseful audio cue plays as the daggers turn and fly back to Kullervo.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Overguard from Recompense is protected by  Wrathful Advance's Invulnerability during wind up.
  • Recompense's dagger damage spreads through enemies under  Collective Curse when striking a cursed target.
    • Does not count as extra hits to Kullervo's melee combo counter, nor grant extra health or Overguard.
• Cannot be recast while active.
• Casting Recompense is an upper-body animation that allows movement and Maneuvers while restricting other actions.
• Recompense is dispelled by Kullervo entering an ability nullification zone, which immediately turn his remaining daggers around and sheathe into him inflicting no damage. If Kullervo falls out of bounds, the remaining daggers will inflict damage upon him.
  • Kullervo's earned Overguard cannot be dispelled and lasts until drained by enemy or self damage.

	3 75	Collective Curse Kullervo sends forth a curse that binds enemies. When a cursed enemy takes damage from him, every other cursed enemy also suffers a portion of that damage. Introduced in Update 33.5 (2023-06-21)	Strength:20 / 30 / 40 / 50 % damage redirection
			Duration:10 / 15 / 20 / 25 s
			Range:20 / 22 / 23 / 25 m wave distance

• Info
• Tips & Tricks

Info

• Kullervo expends 75 Energy to cast forth a misty wave in a 65 degrees cone that spreads across a distance of 20 / 22 / 23 / 25 meters. Enemies caught in the mist receive a  Stagger and  Knockback effect, becoming shackled and linked to each other by cursed chains lasting for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds. Any weapon or ability damage inflicted by Kullervo himself to a cursed enemy is spread to other cursed enemies at 20% / 30% / 40% / 50% of the initial damage instance.
  • Damage redirection is capped at 100%, achievable with 200% Ability Strength.
  • Damage spread deals  True Damage or Shield Drain Damage depending on whether the initial target's health or shields were damaged.
  • Damage spread by Collective Curse ignores armor, but is still affected by units with innate Damage Reduction.
  • Damage spread by damaging the initial target's shields will only damage shields on linked enemies; Damage spread by damaging the initial target's health will only damage health on linked enemies.
  • Damage done to Overguard is not spread.
  • Special Finisher attacks, such as stealth finisher and Parazon Mercy fatal damage are spread to other cursed enemies.
  • Status Effects and other ability effects are not spread by Collective Curse.
  • A constant chains clanking sound is audible based on proximity to cursed enemies.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Each melee attack,  Recompense dagger hit against enemies, and  Storm of Ukko hit increase Kullervo's Melee Combo Counter by 1 hit per cursed enemy.
  • Damage from  Wrathful Advance, Recompense, and Storm of Ukko spread to other cursed enemies when striking an enemy under Collective Curse.
• Can be recast while active to curse a new group of enemies and refresh duration to full on cursed enemies. Only the enemies cursed by the same instance spread damage to each other.
• Casting Collective Curse is an upper-body animation that allows movement and Maneuvers while restricting other actions.
• Collective Curse is not dispelled by Kullervo entering an ability nullification zone or falling out of bounds. Each individual enemy must enter a null zone to dispel their curse. While standing inside a null zone, Kullervo may still spread damage to cursed enemies by attacking a cursed target.

Tips & Tricks

• Striking multiple enemies through Punch Through or area of effect weapons will spread its damage across all cursed enemies. For example, an attack dealing 100 damage upon striking 5 cursed enemies at maximum damage redirection will deal 500 damage to each enemy.

	4 100	Storm of Ukko The Void answers Kullervo’s invocation with a storm of daggers that rain down upon his enemies. Introduced in Update 33.5 (2023-06-21)	Strength:1,000 / 1,500 / 2,000 / 2,500  Slash damage per second
			Duration:10 / 12 / 13 / 15 s

			Misc: 1 storm limit 2 damage ticks per second  Slash status on hit ?% chance for large  Stagger per hit +1 melee combo per hit

• Info
• Augment
• Bugs

Info

• Kullervo expends 100 Energy to unsheathe his daggers and sends them skyward to invoke a Void storm at the casting location, spanning a radius of 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 meters and lasting for 10 / 12 / 13 / 15 seconds. Kullervo can only summon 1 storm at a time, with a new cast dissipating the previous active storm.
• Deadly knives fall from above in a constant downpour, stabbing all enemies within the storm to inflict 1,000 / 1,500 / 2,000 / 2,500  Slash damage per second, divided between 2 damage ticks with each tick dealt every half-second; each damage tick also inflicts guaranteed  Slash status and a ?% chance to large  Stagger the enemy causing them to stumble with a longer recovery animation.
  • Each knife hit increases Kullervo's Melee Combo Counter by 1 hit.
    • Combo gain is increased by Combo Count Chance effects such as  Quickening,  True Punishment,  Exodia Triumph, and Naramon's  Opening Slam.
  • Storm of Ukko is a spherical area-of-effect despite its ring-like aura visual effect, which enables the ability to strike enemies above and below the ring.
  • The falling knives require direct line of sight between Storm of Ukko's center and enemies inside the storm to strike.
• Can be recast while active, but doing so will dispel the previous instance and replace it with the new one.
• Casting Storm of Ukko is a full-body animation that interrupts grounded movement and other actions.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Builds Melee Combo to amplify  Wrathful Advance's melee Heavy Attack.
  • Storm of Ukko's direct damage and  Slash status damage spread to other cursed enemies when striking an enemy under  Collective Curse.
• Storm of Ukko is dispelled by Kullervo falling out of bounds, but not when he enters an ability nullification zone. The storm is dispelled when its center touches a null zone.

Augment

Main article: Wrath of Ukko

Wrath of Ukko is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Kullervo that allows  Wrathful Advance to reposition an active  Storm of Ukko to the teleport location while also adding extra duration to the ability.

Wrath of Ukko

Bugs

• • When the storm itself is dispelled by a Nullifier Crewman's bubble, occasionally Kullervo's next casts of Storm of Ukko are immediately dispelled no matter where he casts them. Workaround for this bug is killing that specific Nullifier Crewman who dispelled the ability.
