• Info

Info

• Bonewidow expends 25 energy to compact its frontal armor plating into a portable shield wielded it on its left arm. On activation, Bonewidow becomes invulnerable to damage and status effects for 3 seconds, during which it absorbs all incoming enemy damage into an extra health buffer; after the invulnerability phase, the total absorbed damage amount becomes extra health for Shield Maiden, combining with a base Health of 1,000 / 1,200 / 1500 / 2,000 points. While active, all incoming enemy damage is blocked by the shield within a 160 degrees angle in front of Bonewidow; damage inflicted onto the shield's health pool is also reflected back to their sources with a damage multiplier of 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 times. Shield Maiden lasts until its health pool is depleted or manually deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 2 ). If the shield is destroyed, Shield Maiden enters a 10 second cooldown before it can be redeployed.
  • Shield Maiden's durability uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength and Armor:
    Modified Health = (Base Health + (Armor Multiplier × Base Armor × (1 + Armor Mods))) × (1 + Ability Strength) + Absorbed Damage.
    • Examples:
      • A Rank 3 Shield Maiden cast by an unmodded Bonewidow will have an initial health of (2000 + (2.5 × 500)) = 3,250 before absorbing damage.
      • A Rank 3 Shield Maiden cast by a Bonewidow with a maxed  Necramech Steel Fiber,  Necramech Intensify, and  Power Donation^{(Equipped on the Warframe)}, will have an initial health of (2000 + (2.5 × 500 × 1.9)) × 1.6 = 7,000 before absorbing damage.
    • Shield Maiden durability is affected by  Power Donation, but not  Growing Power or  Stand United.
• While Shield Maiden is active, Bonewidow can expend 15 energy by pressing the quick melee attack key (default E ), or the fire weapon key with  Exalted Ironbride active (default LMB ), to initiate a Maiden's Kiss. Maiden's Kiss causes Bonewidow to bash its shield forward to hit enemies in its path, inflicting the  Lifted status effect for ? seconds.
• Bonewidow recovers more quickly from a slide while Shield Maiden is active.
• Ability Synergy: Equipping  Exalted Ironbride with Shield Maiden widens the shield block angle to 220 degrees.
• Shield Maiden prevents the use of  Meathook while active, and activating Shield Maiden will drop an enemy skewered by Meathook.
