With full command of surrounding magnetic energy, Mag is an expert at enemy manipulation.

This is Mag, a force to be reckoned with.

Mag is a team player, Tenno, and a worthy addition to any squad.

—Lotus

Release Date: October 25th, 2012

Mag is a Warframe based on magnetic force. She boasts high shield strength in exchange for reduced health, and her abilities make her a potent medium for crowd control and manipulation. She is one of three starter options for new players.

Acquisition

Mag is one of the three starter Warframes, alongside Excalibur and Volt, during Awakening.

Mag's main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. Mag's component blueprints can be obtained from defeating The Sergeant on Iliad, Phobos.

Mag can also be bought complete from Teshin for 60,000 Standing 60,000 once players have achieved Typhoon rank in the Conclave.

Item	Source	Chance	Expected	Nearly Guaranteed
Systems Blueprint	The Sergeant Assassination	22.56%	~ 4 Kills	27 ± 9 Kills
Neuroptics Blueprint	The Sergeant Assassination	38.72%	~ 2 Kills	14 ± 4 Kills
Chassis Blueprint	The Sergeant Assassination	38.72%	~ 2 Kills	14 ± 4 Kills

All drop rates data is obtained from DE's official drop tables. See Mission Rewards#Standard Missions for definitions on reward table rotations. Drop chances are rounded to two decimal places, following the official drop tables repository.
Expected means a player can expect to obtain at least one of a drop every N attempts on average.
Nearly Guaranteed refers to the total number of attempts a player needs to obtain a 1 in 10^2,3, and 4 probability not to have recieved a single drop (99%, 99.9%, and 99.99% probability to have received at least one drop).
The combined probability of multiple drops is 1 - ((1-A%) * (1-B%) * ...) (add drops in same rotation)

Trivia

Mag's given name is inspired from a shortened form of magnetism, used in a feminine fashion (see: Magdalene). Other possible inspirations include the concept of magnitude, a tribute to her affinity for dealing "in extremes".
Mag replaced Volt as an initial choice of Warframe in Update 7.0 (2013-03-18), though Volt would later replace Loki as a starter Warframe choice in Update 14.0 (2014-07-18).
The energy of Mag's helmet can be colored with the Warframe's energy colors, instead of the emissive colors.
Mag is the first female Warframe to possess a Prime variant.
Both of Mag's alternate helmets are named after the Gauss projectile accelerator consisting of one or more coils used as linear electromagnets to accelerate a magnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity. Weapons using said mechanic are commonly referred to as either Gauss guns or Coilguns.
- Gauss, another Warframe inspired by the creator of the mechanism mentioned above, has an alternate helmet (Gauss Mag Helmet) which is deliberately a reversal of one of Mag's alternate helmets, the Mag Gauss Helmet.
A Mag is briefly shown in Livestream 17 along with Alad V.

Edit Tab

“Market forces dictate that you need to evolve or die.”

Mag Prime is Vaulted.

The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during gameplay at this time. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.

CODEX

Warframe Archive - Debrief excerpt

We sat strapped in, safeties off, waiting for the punch. Waiting for death. Through my filthy porthole I saw stars among the outlines of the other Splinter ships queuing for the Solar Rail. It would soon grip us with an incomprehensible power and cast us through the void into the mouth of our enemy.

I watched the ships one-by-one bending and gone. Each crammed with zero-tech soldiers sucking stale air, white knuckling their percussion rifles. Each filled with a desperation that comes from extinction. Our ship would be the last to cross the gap. Our ship had special cargo.

It was essentially empty. Just ten men, like me, strapped in with the best zero-tech suits and weapons the empire could build... and "it". "It" stood in the aisle, a slender and eyeless metal form. A Tenno inside its Warframe. Vaguely human, vaguely feminine. Was this armor or some ornate carapace for the monster that lived inside? I strained against the harness as the ship yawed for final approach. I could see the Tenno standing there freely. Solemn and gold-gleaming, oblivious to the inertial force.

I had been, until then, a Tenno denier. They were ghosts, propaganda, twisted casualties of the void era. Not possibly real. Yet here it was in the flesh. The Empire, in their desperation, was going to turn the demons loose and hope for the best. Who did we fear more, the enemy or this monster? We had our safeties off, could we trust it? Then it didn't matter anymore. The punch came - and our windows became blinding. When we could see again our ship was somewhere else, shattered and dead in an instant.

My lungs were flattened, eyes full of death. Ship debris glittered like a night snow. The alien blue star was dark and blinding beyond us. The countless articulating worm-ships of our enemy, ringed in glowing discs, undulating and heat-bursting the surviving soldiers like me. This is where I died. I was in R-disc, sweeping over my right and setting my blood on fire. My vision flattened, the hearing muffled and buzzed. I could feel the side of my face going slack and wet.

I was in a dying dream. I saw a bright spot blurring and weaving toward me. I felt a tug toward it from the metal clasps on my suit. It reached me, rising up - a gleaming beast, a plume of golden wings rising and unfolding behind it. An angel. It snatched me from my death. I could feel my lungs fill as it wrapped me in its wings. Its Void Shield shimmered blue, strained under the enemy beams. I felt a suddenly tug of acceleration. I closed my eyes and held on it like a child.

I awoke on the floor, the sting of crisping flesh on my face and side. It was standing over me, the wings gone. I heard the cracking of weapons echoing down the corridor. Maybe the mission would be saved, but I was dying and so I waved my hand to send it away. I felt a pistol thrust in my hand as I was heaved to my feet. The angel had saved me, pulled me from hell, but it would not pity me. I was to die on my feet, by its side. I turned my good side toward the gunfire and raised the gun. It nodded, its outstretched metal hand surging and pulsing in ancient shapes as blue shimmered around me. It turned, drawing its blade and together we surged headlong into the hailstorm of death and fire that awaited us.

The exquisite Mag Prime offers the same abilities as Mag but with unique mod polarities for greater customization.

Vaultings

On June 29, 2015, it was announced that Mag Prime, alongside Boar Prime and Dakra Prime, would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on July 7th, 2015. Any pre-existing components or fully-built frames will remain as is.
Mag Prime, alongside Boar Prime and Dakra Prime, was again accessible from June 28th, 2016 to July 26th, 2016 when the Prime Vault was unsealed.
Mag Prime, alongside Boar Prime, Dakra Prime, Rhino Prime, Ankyros Prime, and Boltor Prime, was again accessible from June 27th, 2017 to August 1st, 2017.
Mag Prime emerged from the Vault on November 13th, 2018, alongside Nova Prime, Boar Prime, Dakra Prime, Soma Prime, and Vasto Prime, and was available until January 15th (Switch) or January 29th, 2019 (PC, XBox One, PS4).

Notes

Mag Prime, compared to Mag:
- Higher Health (100/300 vs. 75/225)
- Higher Armor (125 vs. 100)
- Higher Energy (175/262 vs. 125/188)
- Different Polarities ( vs. )
As a Prime Warframe, Mag Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb will make them release an energy pulse that grants 250 Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb, and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.

Trivia

Mag Prime was added in Update 10.0 (2013-09-13) along with the Boar Prime and Dakra Prime weapons. She was the third prime Warframe added to the game and is also the first female prime Warframe to be added.
Mag Prime is one of the first Warframes (with the other being Nekros) to require three Orokin Cells to craft.
Prior to Update 10.3 (2013-10-09), Mag Prime's secondary color could tint the gold accents on her body.
The floating gold plates by Mag Prime's shoulders are considered customization Armor parts, and will be removed if any other arm plates are used.
The "wings" mentioned in Mag Prime's Codex entry foreshadowed the Archwing, a feature added in Update 15.0 (2014-10-24). This was mentioned in Devstream 36, which showcased Archwing gameplay.
Mag Prime's Crush features golden debris being lifted off the ground, unlike the standard version.

Main article: Pull (edit)

ENERGY: 25 KEY 1	Pull Magnetic force pulls enemies toward you, stunning them and bringing them into melee range.	Strength:100 / 125 / 150 / 300 ( Magnetic damage) ? m/s (pull velocity) 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 % (energy drop chance)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:15 / 20 / 22 / 25 m (target range)
		Misc:6 m (radial pull) 90° (angle) 200 % (damage on Magnetized target)
		Subsumable to Helminth

Mag generates a strong magnetic current, pulling every enemy within a 6 meter radius around herself, as well as enemies within 15 / 20 / 22 / 25 meters and a 90° angle of the aiming reticle. Affected enemies are ragdolled and pulled toward Mag with a velocity of ? meters per second, while dealt 100 / 125 / 150 / 300 Magnetic damage. Enemies killed by Pull have a 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% increased chance to drop an Energy orb.
- Range is affected by Ability Range.
- Damage, pull velocity, and energy orb drop chance are affected by Ability Strength.
- Cast animation of ~0.5 seconds is affected by Natural Talent or Speed Drift.
- Radial pull and angle are not affected by mods.
- Magnetic damage is effective against Shielded and Proto Shields, but less effective against Alloy Armor.
- Still inflicts damage to enemies immune to crowd control.
- Will not stop certain enemy abilities mid-animation, such as Heavy Grineer's Radial Blast and the Volatile Runner's detonation.
Ability Synergy: Pull inflicts 200% damage against an enemy targeted by Magnetize.
Pull's visual effects, including a tint on enemies affected by it, are affected by Mag's chosen energy color.
Casting Pull is a One-Handed Action that can be done while performing many actions without interrupting them, including reloading, charging, shooting, and moving (either sprinting or sliding).
- Can be used in mid-air, but not while on a zipline.
Pull grounds fliers, rather than pulling them toward the player.
Subsuming Mag to the Helminth will offer Pull and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Main article: Greedy Pull

Greedy Pull is a Warframe Augment Mod that gives Mag's Pull the ability to attract pickups towards herself.

Rank	Effect	Cost
0	40%	6
1	60%	7
2	80%	8
3	100%	9

This is a great crowd controlling ability, as using it will disorient enemies, drawing away open fires for several seconds.
- It can be used to stop enemies from storm-firing your team.
- It can also be used keep enemies at bay when reviving fallen teammates.
Consider using this ability to destroy minor enemies such as Shield, Mine and Leech Osprey; and Rollers along with Latchers.

Main article: Magnetize (edit)

ENERGY:
50
KEY
2

Magnetize
(TAP) Encloses a target in a magnetic field, ensnaring nearby enemies and dealing damage over time. Bullets and shards created from Polarize increase this damage.
(HOLD) Creates a magnetic field around Mag, absorbing ranged attacks and dealing damage back in a destructive cone.

Strength:50 / 150 / 200 / 300 ( explosion base damage)
1.25x / 1.5x / 1.75x / 2x (damage multiplier)
2x / 2.5x / 3.5x / 4x (magnetic pull)

Duration:10 / 12 / 13 /15 s

Range:5 / 10 / 12 / 15 m (explosion radius)
2 / 3 / 3.5 / 4 m (field radius)

Misc:10% / 15% / 20% / 25% (damage absorption)
∞ (cast range)

Strength:50 / 150 / 200 / 300 ( base damage)
10 / 15 / 20 / 25 ( damage increase per second)
1.25x / 1.5x / 1.75x / 2x (absorption multiplier)

Duration:10 / 12 / 13 /15 s

Range:5 / 10 / 12 / 15 m (blast range)

Misc:80° (blast angle)
? (absorption radius)

Mag creates a magnetic field around an enemy target by tapping the ability key (default 2 ) when aiming at them over an unrestricted range. By holding down the ability key, Mag creates the magnetic singularity between her hands instead, protecting her from enemy fire. In either form, Magnetize costs 50 Energy and lasts for up to 10 / 12 / 13 / 15 seconds.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency.
- Cast range is not affected by mods.
- Cast animation of 1 second is affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
- Once the protective singularity is formed, the ability key may be released without deactivating the ability.

An enemy affected by Magnetize is anchored in place and cannot move. The magnetic field has a radius of 2 / 3 / 3.5 / 4 meters encompassing the target, and slowly drags in all enemies within 4 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters with a magnetic pull of 2x / 2.5x / 3.5x / 4x. During the field's lifetime, all projectiles, bullets, and Polarize shards will be redirected towards its center, and incoming damage from all sources will be increased 1.25x / 1.5x / 1.75x / 2x.
- Damage multiplier and magnetic pull are affected by Ability Strength.
  - Only the main target is affected by the damage multiplier.
  - Furthermore, the damage multiplier doesn't affect damage done to Shields, making it less effective against shielded enemies, such as Corpus units.
- Field radius and pull radius are affected by Ability Range.
- The magnetized target can still attack and cast abilities, among other actions.
- Magnetized Eximus units will not be anchored, but magnetic fields will move with them.
Additionally, the field absorbs 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% of the damage from all redirected projectiles, bullets and Polarize shards. 100% of all stored damage will be dealt per second to all enemies within the field. The field deals Magnetic damage, and damage is applied in half-second increments.
- Percentage of damage absorbed and damage dealt are not affected by Power Strength, however the damage multiplier on Magnetize's target will apply to any damage it receives from the field.
- Damage decreases radially from the center of the Magnetize field, down to a minimum of 50% damage.
- Absorbed damage does not take critical hits into account.
- Multishot multiplier on any type of weapon is taken into account for absorbed damage.
- Projectile weapons have each projectile from the shot taken into account for absorbed damage.
If the initial target dies while magnetized, the field destabilizes and explodes at the end of its duration for 50 / 150 / 200 / 300 Blast base damage in a 5 / 10 / 12 / 15 meter radius. Each time an enemy gets hit by the damage ticks inside the bubble, 100% of the currently absorbed damage gets added to the explosion damage. For example, if Magnetize is shot once with a 1000 damage weapon, it will absorb 250 damage, so each tick of damage dealt to an enemy will add 250 damage to the explosion. If one enemy is hit with 20 half-second ticks of damage before the explosion without having any further damage added to the field, the expression for explosion damage would be 300 + (20 × 1000 × 0.25) = 5,300.
- Base explosion damage is affected by Power Strength.
  - Explosion damage diminishes with distance and does not bypass obstacles in the environment.
- Explosion radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Percentage of absorbed damage added is not affected by mods.
- Should the initial target's corpse despawn before the ability duration is over, the enemy pull effect is disabled, but the explosion will still happen.
Redirected projectiles travel in a straight line from the point of impact to the center of the sphere which can draw fire away from enemy weak spots. However, you can target vital areas by aiming for any point on the sphere that is perpendicular to the weak spot. Hitscan weapons have less difficulty hitting weak spots; simply aiming at the target's weak spots will yield extra damage in most cases.
- Shots fired within the field are also redirected, including shots fired by the magnetized target.
- In addition to firearms, Magnetize can redirect Radial Javelin blades, Prism lasers, Exalted Blade's waves, and Artemis Bow's arrow fan into a single target.
- In addition to the Warframe abilities mentioned above, Magnetize will also affect the grenades from each of Vauban's abilities. All grenades are pulled to the center of the sphere and will function normally if they contact a surface (i.e enemy body, wall, door, etc). Assuming no surface is met, they are held suspended (and inactive) until Magnetize dissipates, upon which time they may or may not be launched unpredictably. Photon Strike is held inactive as it detonates after a set duration of being thrown, surface or no. Additionally, any active ability grenades will be pulled to the center of the sphere and continue to function should a new placed Magnetize overlap the current position of the grenade.
- Does not redirect area-of-effect abilities, shots fired by gunblades, or thrown glaives.
Casting Magnetize on a target is a One-Handed Action that can be done while performing many actions without interrupting them, including reloading, charging, shooting, and moving (either sprinting or sliding).
- Can be used in mid-air, but not while on a zipline.

The magnetic singularity grows in power, starting with 50 / 150 / 200 / 300 damage at base and increasing by 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 damage every second, for as long as its held. All projectiles and bullets caught within ? meters around Mag are absorbed by the singularity, their damage is then multiplied by 1.25x / 1.5x / 1.75x / 2x and added to the total damage stored. When the duration ends, or the ability is recast while active, Mag releases all stored damage in front of her as an explosive blast, damaging enemies in an angle of 80 degrees and up to 5 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters away.

Base damage, damage increase per second and absorption multiplier, are affected by Ability Strength.
- Blast damage diminishes with distance and bypasses obstacles in the environment.
Blast range is affected by Ability Range.
Absorb radius and blast angle are not affected by mods.
The singularity does not absorb area or melee damage, Polarize shards, nor friendly fire.

When activated, Mag will holster her weapons and start walking at a slow pace, still being able to jump from the floor and aim glide. However, crouching (default Ctrl ), rolling (default Shift ) and double jumping is disabled for the duration.

Mag can still pick up portable items (such as datamasses or power cores) and interact with Mobile Defense terminals and Defense operatives, but cannot hack consoles nor revive teammates.
Mag will be susceptible to melee assailants and damage over time effects.
Holding Magnetize is an upper-body action that can be done while moving, but will interrupt reloading, charging, shooting and sprinting.
Can be used in mid-air, but not while on a zipline.

Only 3 Magnetized enemy fields can be active at the same time, magnetizing a fourth target will make the first field either explode or disappear (whether the original target died or not).
- The singularity from holding down the ability does not count towards this limit.
If the target dies before the Magnetize field appears, energy used for Magnetize will be refunded.
Magnetize's visual effects are affected by Mag's chosen energy colors.

Main article: Magnetized Discharge

Magnetized Discharge is a Warframe Augment Mod for Mag's Magnetize that allows manual detonation by recasting the ability on an active Magnetize bubble. Enemies hit by the detonation have a chance to be disarmed. Additionally increases Magnetize's range.

Rank	Disarm Chance	Bonus Magnetize Range	Cost
0	12.5%	20%	6
1	25%	25%	7
2	37.5%	35%	8
3	50%	45%	9

As the pull effect is disabled when the initial target's corpse despawns, some effects, like the Heat status effect or the innate vaporization on death of weapons like Ferrox, can preemptively disable the pull effect by making the corpse despawn almost immediately after their death. (May be a bug?)
This ability can be used defensively. No bullets or projectiles can pass through the field without being redirected.
- Maximized Ability Range is a very effective choice of maximization for this ability as it provides a large radius of protection from most enemy damage.
- Beware, however, as physical projectiles can still damage you while inside it if you find yourself between the entering point of the bullet and the center of the bubble.
Synergizes very well with Excalibur's Exalted Blade, as his blade waves have infinite punch through and are redirected around the magnetic field, allowing them to damage enemies several times until dissipating after traversing 40m.
Extremely effective against heavy enemies, especially fast moving, such as Oxium Osprey or Bursas.
When this ability is used with punch through weapons, like the Lanka and Miter, the bullet or projectile will hit the target multiple times. However, this does not increase the damage over time produced by the field or the damage of the final explosion. This is ideal for taking out specific targets.
Using beam weapons, such as the Ignis, Atomos, Gammacor, Quanta, etc., will not hit the enemies multiple times the same way that punch through projectiles do, but will greatly increase the damage over time generated by the field and the final explosion. This is ideal for creating choke-points where every enemy that walks through the bubble gets killed by the field's damage over time effect.
Weapons with the ability to empty their magazines into a single torrent of shot, such as the Kuva Kraken, Tenet Detron, Pandero ( Prime), and Kuva Hek, synergize especially well with the short-tap Magnetize bubble. Combined with a high reload speed, these weapons can quickly turn the bubble into a deadly trap and time bomb.
- A Grakata with Wild Frenzy synergizes extremely well with Magnetize, as the bubble greatly increases the mod's two-kill ammo refund requirement and thus almost ensuring a limitless supply of bullets to feed the bubble.
While Gas effects don't increase absorbed damage, they can help in damaging all enemies inside the bubble, especially if punch through is on the used weapon, which allows multiple procs to occur per shot.
Holding down the ability and getting hit by enemy bullets, while not taking damage, they still contribute towards Adaptation's build-up. This makes for a safe way to cap the resistances.
As Eximus unit cannot be pulled by magnetic bubbles, they're priority target for Magnetize because the bubbles can prevent them from damaging the Tenno with firearms. They can also potentially sweep more enemies into manetized bubbles as the bubbles move with them.

The blast cone from holding the ability is not centered towards the aiming reticle, but noticeably to the left.

Main article: Polarize (edit)

ENERGY: 75 KEY 3	Polarize Emit an energy pulse that depletes enemy shields and armor, creating shards which become deadly when mixed with Magnetize. Shields of allies touched by the pulse are restored.	Strength:250 / 300 / 350 / 400 ( True damage and shield restoration) 1x / 1.5x / 2x / 2.5x (damage multiplier as Magnetic damage)
		Duration:2 / 3 / 4 / 5 s (pulse travel time)
		Range:5 / 6 / 7 / 8 m (initial bubble radius)
		Misc:5.9 m/s (pulse travel speed)

Mag produces a pulse of magnetic energy with an initial radius of 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters that expands outwards over 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 seconds at a constant speed of 5.9 meters per second for a 37.5 meters total radius. If the enemy has shields, the pulse deals 250 / 300 / 350 / 400 damage to it. If the enemy has armor, the armor value gets reduced by 250 / 300 / 350 / 400 and the enemy additionally suffers True Damage equal to the armor removed. Additionally, allies' shields are restored by 250 / 300 / 350 / 400 if they are present in the initial radius or come in contact with the pulse.
- If at least one enemy has less current armor than the damage value of Polarize and two or more enemies are hit by the wave or the initial cast radius at the same time, then the armor removal can only affect one enemy at a time, leaving any other enemies unaffected.
- Shield/armor damage and shield restoration are affected by Ability Strength.
- Initial radius is affected by Ability Range.
  - Since the wave starts traveling after the initial radius, this also slightly increases the total radius.
- Pulse travel time is affected by Ability Duration.
- Initial radius and traveled distance are summed to:
  Total Radius = (1 + Ability Range) × 8 + (1 + Ability Duration) × 5 × 5.9.
  - With maxed Stretch and Continuity, rank-3 Polarize will have a total radius of $(1 + 0.45) \times 8 + (1 + 0.3) \times 29.5 = 49.95$ meters.
- Wave speed is not affected by mods.
- Cast animation of 1 second is affected by Natural Talent or Speed Drift.
- Shields must be completely drained from a target before armor depletion can take effect.
- Restores Mag's own shields, in addition to fellow Tenno, Companions, Shadows Of The Dead, hostages, Specters, Sortie Tenno operatives, static mission objectives (such as Cryopods and Excavators), and hacked MOAs spawned from MOA Cabinet Spawners, as well as Mind Controlled targets.
- If an armored enemy is the target of Magnetize, the damage is multiplied by 200%. This does not affect enemies inside Magnetize that are not target of a cast.
  - This multiplier is affected by Power Strength.
All enemies with shields or armor within the initial radius, or that come in contact with the expanding pulse, will produce a violent outburst of magnetic energy inflicting 100% / 150% / 200% / 250% of the drained shields or armor as Magnetic damage to all other enemies within a 2.5 / 3 / 3.5 / 4 meter radius of each drained target.
- Damage multiplier is affected by Ability Strength, and the explosion damage diminishes with distance.
  - Damage bypasses obstacles in the environment.
- Magnetic damage is effective against Shielded and Proto Shields, but less effective against Alloy Armor.
- Magnetic status effect reduces a target's current and maximum shields by 75% for 4 seconds.
- Explosion radius is increased by 0.5̅5 meters for each meter the bubble radius grows outwards.
- Enemies who have been drained are not damaged by their own explosion, but they can be damaged by nearby enemies who were also drained.
Ability Synergy: Drained enemies drop one or two shards that store 35 damage each that will be absorbed by Magnetize if the shard contacts it.
- Stored damage is unaffected by Power Strength or amount drained.
- Shards will not get used up when touching a Magnetize bubble and will instead float around in it and drop to the ground after the bubble ends. They despawn 30 seconds after their creation.
Polarize's visual effects, including shards, are affected by Mag's chosen energy color.
Casting Polarize is a One-Handed Action that can be done while performing many actions without interrupting them, including reloading, charging, shooting, and moving (either sprinting or sliding).
- Can be used in mid-air, but not while on a zipline.

Main article: Crush (edit)

ENERGY: 100 KEY 4	Crush Magnetizes the bones of nearby enemies, causing them to collapse upon themselves.	Strength:800 / 1000 / 1250/ 1500 Magnetic (base damage) 2400 / 3000 / 3750/ 4500 Magnetic (extra damage to Magnetized enemies) 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 (shields per hit)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:8 / 10 / 13 / 18 m
		Misc:40 (Shield restore on cast)

Magnetizing the bones of all enemies within a 8 / 10 / 13 / 18 meter radius, Mag suspends her victims in the air and forcefully compresses their bodies inflicting 800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500 Magnetic damage over three segments, as well as 800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500 extra Magnetic damage per segment to the main target of a Magnetize field.
- Damage is affected by Ability Strength.
- Damage is evenly divided into three ticks (each tick dealing 1/3 of the total damage) that are inflicted in succession over the course of the cast animation, whereas extra damage is fully dealt on each tick.
  - With a maxed Blind Rage and Intensify, a rank-3 Crush will deal
    $((Base Damage \div 3) + Extra Damage ) \times (1 + Strength Mods) Magnetize bonus damage =$ $((1500 \div 3) + 1500 ) \times (1 + 1.29)^2 = 10,488.2$ damage for each tick on a Magnetize target.
- Radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Cast time of 1.5 seconds is affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
Additionally, allied Warframes and Companions in the radius of the ability have their shields replenished by 40 on cast, plus an additional 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 per enemy hit per tick.
- Shield restore per hit is affected by Ability Strength, while the initial amount is not.
- Crush can create, and increase, Overshields.
Enemies that walk into the area of effect after the ability has been cast will be caught and damaged by the remaining damage ticks, and will contribute to restore shields.
- Suspended enemies are incapacitated and suffer a Knockdown when the final damage tick is applied.
Some of Crush's visual effects will appear gold when cast by Mag Prime.
Casting Crush is a full-body animation that will prevent movement for the entire animation.

Main article: Fracturing Crush

Fracturing Crush is a Warframe Augment Mod for Mag that gives Crush the ability to temporarily immobilize survivors and temporarily reduce their armor.

Rank	Armor Reduction	Root Duration	Cost
0	20%	4s	6
1	30%	5s	7
2	40%	6s	8
3	50%	7s	9

Crush deals less damage against the Grineer but deals extra to shielded Corpus units, due to the traditional effects of Magnetic damage.
Crush does not rely on line of sight, using mods for enemy radar such Enemy Sense makes it relatively easy to Crush large groups of enemies through floors, walls and ceilings.

Sliding while casting Crush causes enemies that left the AoE to crumple permanently until a stagger source is made to reset their animation, however damage taken by enemies no longer in range have been cancelled normally.
Dying while casting crush will cause all affected enemies to drop to the ground in a ragdoll state similar to enemies broken while frozen. The enemies in this state will still be able to attack despite missing several limbs and being tied to the ground.
Overshields will apply to allied Operators as well, up to a maximum of 500 shields.
