25,000 to purchase.
Notes[]
- Explosion triggers on reactivating while Larva is active. Reactivation destroys Larva and does not cost energy.
- Toxin damage is affected by Ability Strength and diminishes with distance from Larva.
- Explosion has a 100% chance to proc Toxin Status Effect.
- Explosion and Toxin DoT damage are not affected by Mutation stacks, instead stacking based on the number of enemies grabbed by Larva.
- Damage is calculated based on the number of enemies grabbed during the initial cast, meaning killing enemies caught in Larva will not reduce explosion and Toxin DoT damage.
- Damage is calculated based on the number of enemies grabbed during the initial cast, meaning killing enemies caught in Larva will not reduce explosion and
- Explosion damage is calculated using the following formula:

Tips[]
- The augment can be used as a quick way to spam Larva.
- Allows a duration build Nidus to be viable as the ability to spam Larva is no longer hindered by duration.
- Provides a quick way to deal with large amounts of enemies as the damage stacks with the amount of enemies grabbed by larva.
- Also allows players to conserve energy as recasting doesn't cost energy.
- On the other hand, players are unable to gain energy or Mutation stacks by killing enemies through recasting.
- Also allows players to conserve energy as recasting doesn't cost energy.
- Most effective versus the Corpus as Toxin ignores shields and does bonus to humanoid enemies. Fairly effective versus the Infested, although Ancient Disruptors will reduce the damage dealt, and Toxic Ancients will eliminate toxin damage from nearby Infested.

Patch History[]
Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)
- WARFRAME AUGMENT BUFFS PART 2
In Update 31.2, we buffed a number of underused Warframe augments. The time has come to continue this work! This batch tackles Warframes from Loki to Rhino (of which there are surprisingly many!). We have increased their viability in missions, which we hope will encourage more build diversity.
