Main article: Pull (edit)

	1 25	Pull Mag stuns enemies as she manifests a magnetic vortex. The vortex pulls in Polarize Shards and stunned enemies to place them directly in front of her. Introduced in Vanilla (2012-10-25)	Strength:100 / 125 / 150 / 300 ( Magnetic damage) ? m/s (pull velocity)
			Duration:N/A
			Range:15 / 20 / 22 / 25 m (target range)
			Misc: 6 m (radial pull) 90° (angle)
			Subsumable to Helminth

• Tips & Tricks

Info

• Mag expends 25 energy to generate a strong magnetic vortex in front of her lasting for 2 seconds, 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 into the vortex at a velocity of ? meters per second, while dealt 100 / 125 / 150 / 300  Magnetic damage.
  • Cast animation of ~0.5 seconds, affected by Casting Speed.
  • 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 can pull  Polarize Shards toward Mag.
• 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.
  • However, Subsumed Pull's cone range is reduced to 7.5 / 10 / 11 / 12.5 meters.

Main article: Magnetize (edit)

	2 50	Magnetize (TAP) Enclose a target in a magnetic field that ensnares nearby enemies and deals damage over time. The field pulls Polarize Shards that orbited Mag and shrapnel into the deadly mix. (HOLD) Mag surrounds herself in a magnetic field that absorbs ranged attacks and reflects damage back in a destructive cone. Introduced in Update 18.13 (2016-05-27)	Targeted Protective Strength: 50 / 150 / 200 / 300 ( Blast 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: 15 m (explosion radius) 4 m (field radius) Misc:10% / 15% / 20% / 25% (damage absorption) ∞ (cast range) Strength: 50 / 150 / 200 / 300 ( Blast base damage) 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 ( Blast damage increase per second) 2x (absorption multiplier) 200 / 300 / 400 / 500 (polarize shard damage) Duration: 10 / 12 / 13 / 15 s Range: 15 m (blast range) Misc:120° (blast angle) 4 m (absorption radius)

Info

• Mag expends 50 energy to create 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.
  • Cast animation of 1 second, affected by Casting Speed.
  • Once the protective singularity is formed, the ability key may be released without deactivating the ability.

• Targeted
• Protective

• An enemy affected by Magnetize is anchored in place and cannot move. The magnetic field has a radius of 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.
  • Only the main target is affected by the damage multiplier.
    • Furthermore, the damage multiplier only affects damage done to Health.
  • The magnetized target can still attack and cast abilities, among other actions.
  • Enemies immune to crowd control such as Overguard 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. All stored damage will be dealt per second in full to all enemies within the field. The field deals  Magnetic damage, and damage is applied in half-second increments.
  • 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 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.
  • Explosion damage diminishes with distance and does not bypass obstacles in the environment.
  • Should the initial target's corpse despawn before the 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, Surging Blades' blade and even thrown glaives.
  • 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 & gunblades.
• 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  Blast damage at base and increasing by 10 / 15 / 20 / 25  Blast damage every second, for as long as its held. All bullets and projectiles caught within 4 meters around Mag are absorbed by the singularity, their damage is then multiplied by 2x and added to the total damage stored. Any  Polarize shards caught within will add 200 / 300 / 400 / 500 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 120 degrees and up to 15 meters away.

• The singularity does not absorb area or melee damage 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 Protective 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.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Shards dropped by  Polarize can be picked up by Magnetize, inflicting 50 damage distributed evenly between  Puncture and  Slash, further increased by 25% of the total drained value.
  •  Crush inflicts an extra 800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500  Magnetic damage to the enemy targeted by Magnetize.
• Magnetize's visual effects are affected by Mag's chosen energy colors.

Augment

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.

Magnetized Discharge

Tips & Tricks

• 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.
• 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.
•  Yareli's  Aquablades and it's augment  Surging Blades have great synergy with Magnetize, due to having infinite body punch through.
• 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 magnetized bubbles as the bubbles move with them.

Bugs

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

Main article: Polarize (edit)

	3 75	Polarize Emit an energy pulse that depletes enemy shields and armor as it restores ally shields. Debris left over from the pulse becomes Polarize Shards. Nearby Polarize Shards orbit Mag and cut enemies, inflicting bleed status. Introduced in Vanilla (2012-10-25)	Strength:250 / 300 / 350 / 400 ( True damage and shield restoration) 1x / 1.5x / 2x / 2.5x (explosion damage multiplier as  Magnetic damage) 50 (Shard  Puncture and  Slash damage)
			Duration:5 s (pulse travel time)
			Range:8 m (initial pulse radius)
			Misc: 5.9 m/s (pulse travel speed) 3 m (Shard pickup radius) 1 m (Shard damage radius)

• Tips & Tricks

Info

• Mag expends 75 energy to emit a spherical pulse of magnetic energy from herself with an initial radius of 8 meters. The pulse expands outwards for 5 seconds, at a constant rate of 5.9 meters per second, reaching a total radius of 37.5 meters. If the pulse comes into contact with an enemy that has shields, the pulse will drain up to 250 / 300 / 350 / 400 of them. If the enemy has armor, it will be permanently drained by up to 250 / 300 / 350 / 400 points with the enemy additionally suffering  True damage equal to the amount removed. Any allies that come into contact with the pulse will have their shields restored by up to 250 / 300 / 350 / 400.
  • 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), hacked MOAs (spawned from MOA Cabinet Spawners), and  Mind Control targets.
  • Shield restore does not flow into Overshields.
  • 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) × 8 + (1 + 0.3) × 29.5 = 49.95 meters.
  • Cast animation of 1 second, affected by Casting Speed.
  • Shields must be completely drained from a target before a new Polarize cast can deplete armor as well.
• All drained enemies 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 them.
  • Explosion damage diminishes with distance.
    • Damage bypasses obstacles in the environment.
  • Explosion radius is increased by 0.5̅5 meters for each meter the pulse grows outwards after the initial radius.
  • Explosion can hit objects, such as Containers and Resource Nodes.
  • Enemies who have been drained are not damaged by their own explosion, but they can be damaged by nearby enemies who were also drained.
• All drained enemies drop one Polarize Shard that lingers for 30 seconds, with a 50% chance to drop two. These Shards are automatically picked up by Mag once she is within 3 meters of them, and will rapidly orbit her to attack enemies within 1 meter. Polarize Shards inflict 50 damage distributed evenly between  Puncture and  Slash, scaling with the total shields or armor drained, and with a guaranteed status effect.
  • Shard damage is affected by total shields or armor drained, gaining 25% of the total drained value as damage.
  • Shards are weapons, and as such, can be affected by universal weapon buffs like  Grendel's  Nourish, and  Citrine's  Prismatic Gem.
• Ability Synergy:
  •  Pull can bring Polarize Shards to Mag.
  •  Magnetize will absorb Polarize Shards, trapping the Shards within and allowing them to do immense damage.
    • Shards will return to their previous state when Magnetize ends.
• 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.

Augment

Main article: Counter Pulse

Counter Pulse is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Mag's  Polarize that jams enemy weapons and disables Robotic enemies for a set duration.

Counter Pulse

Tips & Tricks

• Can be used to restore shields to stationary defense objectives such as Cryopods and Excavators.
• Explosions can damage or break objects such as Containers, Resource Nodes, Laser Plates, and Rotation Plates in the Orokin Tower, given a drained enemy was close enough to them.
• Shards can inflict high amounts of  Slash procs, if used in conjunction with  Magnetize they can cause immense Bleed damage.
  • Pairing this combo with  Nourish will grant Shards  Viral damage and status, allowing you increase their Bleed damage even further.
• The damage portion of Polarize is useless in missions where enemies completely lack shields and armor.
• Due to the high base shield replenishment, using  Catalyzing Shields will drop down your shields to 111 on max rank, making negative strength still fully replenish at percentages as low as 30% strength.

Main article: Crush (edit)

	4 100	Crush Magnetize the bones of nearby enemies, causing them to collapse upon themselves. Introduced in Vanilla (2012-10-25)	Strength:800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500  Magnetic (base damage) 800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500  Magnetic (extra damage to targeted  Magnetize) 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 (shields per hit)
			Duration:N/A
			Range:18 m
			Misc: 40 (Shield restore on cast) 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 (shields per hit cap)

• Info

Info

• Mag expends 100 energy to magnetize the bones of all enemies within a 18 meter radius, suspending her victims in the air and forcefully compresses their bodies inflicting 800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500  Magnetic damage over three segments and  Knockdown on the final segment. Additionally, Mag and her allies recover 40 shields on cast, plus an additional 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 shields per enemy hit per tick, to a maximum of 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 per enemy.
  • 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 ÷ 3) + Extra Damage ) × (1 + Strength Mods) ^{Magnetize bonus damage} = ((1500 ÷ 3) + 1500 ) × (1 + 0.30)^2 = 3,380 damage for each tick. Totaling to 10,140 damage.
  • Cast time of 1.5 seconds, affected by Casting Speed and  Fracturing Crush.
  • Shield restore can flow into Overshields.
• Allies affected by the shield restore include all Warframes, Companions, Eidolon Lures, summoned allied units such as Specters, allied Invasion units, Hostages, Kavor Defectors, Sortie and Arbitrations Defense Operatives, and Defense Objects.
• 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.
• Ability Synergy: The main target of  Magnetize receives an additional 800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500  Magnetic damage from Crush.
• 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.

Augment

Main article: Fracturing Crush

Fracturing Crush is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Mag that increases the Casting Speed of  Crush and allows to permanently reduce armor and temporarily immobilize survivors.

Fracturing Crush

Tips & Tricks

• 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.

Bugs

• 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.
