Status Effect

• Excalibur dashes between enemies within a cone 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 meters long and cuts them down with his Exalted Blade. Each strike inflicts 100 / 125 / 200 / 250 base damage.
  • Base damage is 15% Impact, 15% Puncture, and 70% Slash.
  • Cone length is affected by Ability Range.
  • Slash Dash is affected by Aim Glide
  • Slash Dash is affected by momentum, but will not change momentum outside of its animation. Thus, whichever way you were going before you cast Slash Dash you will continue to go unless stopped, by other means, at same speed. This will affect how far your Slash Dash will go when not targeted.
  • As Slash Dash's base Critical Chance and Status Chance are 0%, Slash Dash can not deal critical hits or status effects without flat bonuses to either metric.
• Damage is affected by Ability Strength, the Melee Combo Counter and some mods.
  • If the player has a longsword, dual sword, rapier, or nikana equipped, Slash Dash receives a 10% bonus to its base damage from Excalibur's Swordsmanship passive.
  • With a maxed  Pressure Point,  Shocking Touch and  Intensify, a rank-3 Slash Dash will deal
    Base Damage × (1 + Damage Mods) × (1 + Elemental Mod) × (1 + Strength Mods) =
    250 × (1 + 1.2) × (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 1,358.5 damage.
  • The mod stats that affect Slash Dash include:
    • damage (e.g.,  Steel Charge)
    • physical (e.g.,  Jagged Edge)
    • elemental (e.g.,  Molten Impact)
    • weapon augments (e.g.,  Justice Blades)
  • The Scindo Manticore Skin's damage bonus applies to the ability.
  • Slash Dash is not affected by the equipped melee weapon's stats and innate effects, class-specific mods,  Condition Overload, or Acolyte Mods.
    • The only exceptions to this rule are:
      • Venka Prime's modified Melee Combo Counter.
  • Mods equipped on Exalted Blade do not affect Slash Dash.
  • Slash Dash's damage composition is not affected by  Chromatic Blade.
  • Enemies damaged by Slash Dash suffer a knockdown unless immune to knockdowns or statuses.
  • Slash Dash's cone length is not affected by melee range mods (e.g.,  Reach).
  • Every instance of damage adds to the Melee Combo Counter regardless of the amount of enemies hit or if Excalibur physically made contact with the target.
• Excalibur has health immunity during the dash animation, but not shield immunity.
• Though Excalibur's health is immune during the animation, it is still possible for  Adaptation to build stacks.
• Airborne enemies, such as Hellions and Ospreys, can also be targeted, but are still difficult for Slash Dash to traverse to unless the aim button is held for Aim Glide physics to take effect.
• If there are no enemies within its targeting area, Slash Dash will make Excalibur dash forward in the direction of aim, allowing it to be used as a mobility aid when reaching high places.
• When Exalted Blade is active, Slash Dash will receive the following benefits:
  • Slash Dash will receive a 10% bonus to its base damage from Excalibur's passive.
    • This additional damage bonus stacks with the aforementioned bonus received when using specific melee weapons.
  • Slash Dash hits will add to Exalted Blade's Melee Combo Counter.
  • Energy waves will be released when an enemy is hit by Slash Dash.
    • The energy waves and Exalted Blade are considered separate entities and will deal damage separately.
    • The waves behave identically to those of Exalted Blade.
    • Waves will hit both the targeted enemy and all enemies behind it.
    • Waves are affected by mods on both the equipped melee weapon and on Exalted Blade.
    • The energy waves are able to deal critical hits and status effects.
      • Critical and status performances are affected by equipped critical chance and damage mods, status chance mods, and  Chromatic Blade.
• Can be used to pass through Laser Barriers unharmed in most cases.
• Can be used while jumping, sliding, forward flipping, wall running or clinging to a wall.
• Slash Dash can damage enemies across the Rift Plane.
• Slash Dash is affected by and can trigger Warframe Arcanes.

Main article: Surging Dash

Surging Dash is a Warframe Augment Mod for Excalibur, allowing each enemy hit by Slash Dash to add to the Warframe's Melee Combo Counter.

Main article: Purging Slash

Purging Slash is a PvE and Conclave Warframe Augment Mod for Excalibur's Slash Dash that removes allies' debuffs and restores their shields when Slash Dashed into.

• Slash Dash will hit through a Grineer Shield Lancer's Shield.
• Can be used to break Corpus ship windows and pass through laser doors mostly unharmed.
• Perfect for medium-distance traveling.
• With the proper mods this is one of the most damage-efficient AoE abilities in the game, doing massive damage to multiple targets for very little cost.
• Invulnerability allows players to deal with enemies by repeatedly casting Slash Dash without fear of damage or status proc effects during the animation. However, being that there is no invulnerability overlap between the end of the first cast and the beginning of the second cast, there is a small window for Excalibur to receive damage.
• Casting Slash Dash while Exalted Blade is active will allow players to increase the amount of damage they deal and hit a larger amount of enemies without having to build for range.
• Pressing the melee button at any time during the targeted Slash Dash cast will cancel the rest of ability's targets and summon your melee weapon instantly.

• Harrow breaks free of his shackles in a whirlwind of impenetrable energy, imbuing himself and allies inside his Affinity Range with complete invulnerability to damage and Status Effect immunity for 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 seconds. While invulnerable, any enemy damage prevented by all affected players during this time accumulates into a total pool.
  • Invulnerability duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Affinity Range is not affected by Ability Range but is affected by the Mending Unity passive in the Vazarin focus school, and can be temporarily increased with Fosfors.
  • Status effect immunity also protects against knockdown and stagger.
• After the invulnerability phase, all affected players receive the Retaliation buff which provides an additive weapon critical chance bonus lasting for 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 seconds. Retaliation provides a 5% base critical chance, plus extra critical chance converted from total damage prevented at a rate of 1.50% per 100 damage points prevented. Additionally, the combined critical chance percentage is multiplied by 4 on headshot hits.
  • Retaliation duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Base critical chance and extra critical chance percentages are affected by Ability Strength, while damage points prevented and headshot multiplier are not.
    • Retaliation's critical chance is capped at 50% on bodyshot hits and 200% on headshot hits.
    • The critical chance applied to the weapons appears to be a flat value.
    • Critical chance seems to also be applied to melee weapons, weapon deployables ( Zenistar disc, Orvius channel throw, etc.), and Exalted weapons ( Excalibur's Exalted Blade, Ivara's Artemis Bow, etc.)
• Protection and Retaliation buffs affect both players and their Companions.
• Covenant cannot be recast while its buffs are active.
  • Multiple Harrows can cast Covenant independently of other players' active invulnerability and critical chance buffs.
• Casting animation of 3 seconds is affected by casting speed, from mods such as  Natural Talent and  Speed Drift. Casting Covenant stops Harrow's movement and actions.
• During the invulnerability phase, the current total of damage prevented is displayed to the right of the aiming reticle, represented by a shield-like emblem.
  • After the invulnerability phase, the critical chance bonus and its headshot multiplied percentage are briefly displayed at the same position, represented by a bullet-like emblem.
  • An audible whispering sound plays when each buff's duration ends.
• Covenant's buff icons for invulnerability and critical chance are displayed beside the shield and health indicators, with the critical chance bonus percentage located at the top-right of the icon and buff timers at the bottom.
• Harrow and affected allies are visibly surrounded by a gust of energy while under Covenant's effects. This visual effect expands or contracts depending on the phases of the ability, and is affected by Harrow's chosen Warframe energy color.

Main article: Lasting Covenant

Lasting Covenant is a Warframe Augment Mod for Harrow that increases Covenant's critical chance buff duration each time an enemy is killed with a headshot.

• It synergizes well with abilities that buff critical damage, such as Electric Shield and Sonar.
• Also pairs well with the Dual Toxocyst since they are at their optimal power when you are getting headshots.
• Since the critical chance applied appears to be additive, this ability can turn a Nukor modded with  Primed Target Cracker (and possibly other critical damage mods such as a Riven) into a viable critical secondary.
• Casting this while attempting to revive a teammate makes for a reliable survival strategy, as the invulnerability phase will protect you from enemy fire.
• If the mission has Environmental Hazards, like the toxic waste in the Grineer Shipyard tileset, you can use them to stack extra damage negation during the invulnerability phase.
• Covenant synergizes well with a Kitgun equipped with  Pax Seeker, with its projectiles gain benefits for critical chance to headshot from this ability.
  • However, headshot kills by Pax Seeker's projectiles won't trigger  Lasting Covenant augmentation.

• Hydroid submerges into a pool of water with a 1.5 / 2.5 / 3 / 4 meters radius, becoming invulnerable to damage and untargetable by enemies. Enemies that wander onto the pool sink and disappear from sight, become suspended in a Knockdown state, and drown taking 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 base Impact damage per second; drowning enemies also receive 1% / 1.5% / 1.7% / 2% of their maximum health as Impact damage, which continuously stack every second while enemies remain submerged.
  • Base damage and damage increase per second are affected by Ability Strength.
  • Radius is affected by Ability Range.
    • Undertow uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Range: Modified Range = Base Range × Ability Range ^0.5
  • Casting speed is affected by  Natural Talent and  Speed Drift.
  • Damage increase per second applies to each individual enemy. The stacked damage for a single enemy resets to base damage when the submerged enemy exits the pool.
  • Submerged enemies receive increased damage proportionate to the number of enemies inside Undertow.
  • The current number of submerged enemies trapped within Undertow is displayed on the ability icon.
  • Allied players can shoot into Undertow to contribute 50% of their total damage from weapons and abilities, distributed evenly to all submerged enemies.
  • Status Effects apply to all submerged enemies, with their effects and debuff timers paused until enemies exit Undertow.

• While active, Hydroid can aim at an enemy target within 10 / 12 / 13 / 15 meters and press the primary attack key (default LMB ) to expend 5 energy, launching a water tendril from the pool, grabbing the target and pulling it into Undertow.
  • Grab range is affected by Ability Range.
  • Energy cost per grab is affected by Ability Efficiency.
  • If the targeted enemy is unable to be pulled, the tendril will release it after a few seconds.
  • Released bodies may make enemies suspicious and stop short of the pool. This will often result in them walking away from the puddle, requiring Hydroid to pull them in manually.

• Undertow drains 6 / 4 / 3 / 2 energy per second, and will remain active so long as Hydroid has energy. Undertow will end if Hydroid runs out of energy, jumps (Space ), rolls (2x Shift ), or if deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 3 ). Hydroid can slowly move while in Undertow by draining 1 energy point per 0.2 meters moved.
  • Activation and travel energy costs are affected by Ability Efficiency, and the channeling energy cost is affected by both Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
  •  Energy Siphon and other energy restoring effects are deactivated while Undertow is channeled. However,  Arcane Energize, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, Syndicate effects such as Blight and Entropy can still restore energy.
  • If moving while in undertow you can sprint (hold Shift ) for faster movement speed. Mods that affect sprint speed also work with this.

• Ability Synergy:
  • Tempest Barrage can damage submerged enemies within Undertow.  Corroding Barrage can also proc Corrosive on submerged enemies.
  • Tidal Surge allows Hydroid to remain submerged in Undertow and travel in waveform for half the normal distance.
    • Undertow will not drain additional energy when Hydroid moves via Tidal Surge.
    • Enemies previously submerged in Undertow will be pulled along by Tidal Surge.
  • Tentacle Swarm centers the kraken on Undertow and spawns tentacles inside the pool. Charged cast can extend tentacle spawn radius outside Undertow.
    • Tentacles will capture enemies when they emerge from Undertow.
    • Tentacle Swarm deals 200% damage when cast from Undertow.

• Hydroid's Companion will also be submerged, regardless of distance from him. His companion will not become invulnerable and is susceptible to damage from explosions.
• Enemy corpses will be released from Undertow when killed.
• Cannot switch, fire, or reload weapons, perform parkour Maneuvers except jump and roll, nor collect Pickups while in liquid form.
• Can be cast while in midair to enter liquid form. Undertow pool will form when Hydroid lands on the ground.

• Aura effects from enemy Eximus will not apply to Hydroid while he is submerged but nearby Tenno will suffer from the effects of the Eximus unit's aura if they are in range.
  • Energy Leech Eximus still will drain energy when in the pool, however.

• When Hydroid is submerged, the game treats him as invisible to enemies. As such, any kills on unalerted enemies with undertow will count as a stealth kill.
  • Also causes the Zenistar to deal bonus stealth damage to enemies.
    • There is a bug related to this where a Zenistar built with blast will continue to deal bonus damage to some enemies even when Hydroid re-emerges from the puddle.

• Submerged enemies cannot prevent Tenno from capturing an Interception point. This makes it incredibly efficient at completely locking down towers on Interception missions.

Main article: Curative Undertow

Curative Undertow is a Hydroid Warframe Augment Mod that allows Undertow to heal Hydroid and his allies within range by a percentage of their max health every 1.5 seconds, draining additional energy for each ally in the pool.

• Undertow will knockdown enemies within range when they sink into the puddle. Activating then deactivating Undertow allows you to set up Ground Finisher attacks with your melee weapon on nearby enemies.
• If you see an enemy Eximus walk into the pool, deactivate Undertow and expose them to attacks, as their Auras will remain active while submerged.
  • As Energy Leech Eximus are still able to steal energy from Hydroid while in the pool, it's ill advised to drag them in. It's safer to cast Tempest Barrage or Tentacle Swarm on their location when they are far away to avoid losing massive amounts of energy per second.
• When running an Infested Defense (such as an uncontested Dark Sector or Orokin Derelict), stand near the cryopod or a walkway to the cryopod and activate Undertow. Once you've collected several enemies, deactivate Undertow and chain together Area of Effect skills such as Tempest Barrage and Tentacle Swarm.
• If you are under heavy fire, activate Undertow to regenerate your shields, as well as health depending on whether your squad has a member with the  Rejuvenation aura equipped.
• Undertow is useful for gathering large numbers of enemies in one spot for another player to kill them once the ability has ended.
• Undertow cannot be used to bypass corpus laser doors by itself.

• Some bosses, such as General Sargas Ruk can be submerged by Undertow, making them invulnerable to outside damage by other players.
• Enemies see dead bodies that are killed and will often refuse to enter the pool. This requires the use of hydroid to manually pull them in.
• A sentinel equipped with  Vacuum will still attempt to suck up loot while in the pool, which blocks the player's reticle and prevents them from targeting enemies to drag into the pool.
  • This will slightly alleviate itself after staying in the pool for an extended period, as sentinels will "freeze up" and stop moving if the player idles for too long.
• Cameras can be targeted, but cannot be tentacled in.
• Downed Bursa will stay in undertow and count as alive there.

• Inaros sinks an enemy target within 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 meters into quicksand for 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 seconds, trapping it in place as it flails in panic becoming unable to move, attack, or use special abilities. While enemies are trapped, Inaros or any allies can perform the 'Devour' action on them by holding down the Interact key (default X ); when devouring an enemy, the player (but not any companions) is completely invulnerable to damage and Status Effects as Shields and Health are restored at a rate of 400 health per second, while also inflicting True damage per second to the victim. During the Devour action, the victim initially receives 50 / 100 / 150 / 250 damage per second, that ramps up to 100 / 200 / 300 / 500 damage per second over 2 seconds; damage is dealt in 10 ticks per second.
  • Cast range is affected by Ability Range.
  • Quicksand duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Initial and max damage per second are affected by Ability Strength.
  • Healing is independent of damage dealt. Inaros cannot increase the amount of healing received by amplifying the damage his target takes, and attacking enemies with increased damage resistance will yield the same amount of healing.
  • Damage ramp-up time and amount of damage ticks are not affected by mods.
  • Enemies are unable to act while being actively devoured even if the ability's timer has expired.
  • The act of devouring a trapped enemy does not consume energy whether from Inaros or allies and can be sustained indefinitely for as long as the Use key is held, or the enemy expires.
  • The enemy being devoured by a player is invulnerable to outside sources of damage while the Use key is held.
  • Kavats, Kubrows, and MOA companions will also gain the benefit of the life steal. Sentinels will not.
• If an enemy is killed by being devoured by Inaros, a Sand Shadow is created, which is a friendly copy of the unit killed that will fight alongside Inaros. Sand Shadows last for a duration equal to the time spent devouring them, or a minimum of 15 seconds.
  • Sand Shadow duration is not affected by mods.
• If cast on an enemy target by holding down the ability key (default 2 ), Inaros latches energy tethers onto the enemy from up to 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 meters away, dragging it towards him and automatically devouring it upon making contact so long as the key is held.
  • Tether range is affected by Ability Range.
  • Tethered enemy is dragged along the ground and can fall to lower terrain elevations.
  • Tethered enemy is invulnerable to outside sources of damage while being dragged in.
  • Dragging speed is affected by movement impairing effects such as Cold procs and Molecular Prime.
• Ability Synergy: Enemies trapped by Devour will automatically restore health to Inaros and create a Sand Shadow on death when killed inside Sandstorm.
• Devour cannot be cast on naturally flying enemies like Ospreys and Orokin Drones. Units that only have temporary flight abilities though like Hellions can still be pulled from mid-air and then devoured once on the ground.
• Cast delay of 1 second is affected by  Natural Talent and  Speed Drift, while devour recovery delay of 2 seconds is not. Casting will interrupt movement.
  • If the target dies before Inaros finishes his casting animation, energy used for Devour will be refunded; however, if the target is already trapped in quicksand and is being dragged in by the tether, it will not refund energy if killed during travel.
• Cannot be recast on affected targets.
• Ancient Disruptors will resist the ability heavily, causing only 1 damage per tick to occur, which will often cause the bug listed below. The same goes for Infested allies that are linked to the Disruptor.

• Nezha summons a fiery ring that encircles him, granting full immunity to status effects, and absorbing 90% of all incoming damage. The ring starts with 500 / 650 / 800 / 1000 base health, to which 115% / 125% / 175% / 250% of Nezha's total armor is added as bonus health. Upon activation, the ring is invulnerable for 3 seconds, during this time all incoming damage it takes is multiplied by 250% and added to the its total health. Enemies that wander within 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 meters of Nezha are continuously staggered and dealt 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 Slash damage every second. Warding Halo cannot be refreshed while it is active, and only expires when its health is depleted or when it is dispelled.
  • Damage reduction affects Overshield, Shield and Health.
  • Warding Halo's Base health, armor multiplier, absorption multiplier and damage per second, are affected by Ability Strength.
  • Warding Halo's health uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength:
    Modified Health = (Base Health + Armor Multiplier × (Health Conversion Armor + Nezha's Base Armor × (1 + Armor Bonus)) + Absorbed Damage × Absorption Multiplier) × (1 + Ability Strength)
    • As an example, with a maxed  Steel Fiber and  Intensify, and one stack on  Health Conversion, a rank-3 Warding Halo will have an initial health of (1000 + (2.5 × (450 + 190 × (1 + 1.1)))) × (1 + 0.3) = 4,059.25 before absorbing damage.
  • Invulnerability duration is not affected by Ability Duration.
  • Stagger radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • While active, a health counter is displayed on the lower-right of the HUD, above the ability icons, indicating how much damage absorption is left.
  • Slash damage instances immediately affect enemies as they enter the stun radius.
  • Status effect immunity includes crowd-controlling effects such as knockdowns and staggers. Energy drains from Ancient Disruptors, including the small amounts of energy they drain with each melee attack, are resisted. However, Eximus energy drains and the speed reduction caused by the mucus of Tar-Mutalist MOAs are not resisted by Warding Halo.
  • Cast animation of ~1 second is affected by  Natural Talent and  Speed Drift.
    • Casting this ability makes Nezha stop all other actions, including movement. However, players can perform a running slide and hold it before casting in order to maintain momentum during the animation.
• Warding Halo will release a wave of heat outward when it expires, inflicting all surrounding enemies with 100% Heat status effect, and making Nezha invulnerable for 1 second.
  • Warding Halo cannot be cast while active, but can be recast during this expiry invulnerability period.
  • Damage taken from the last hit which exceeds the health of Warding Halo will still transfer over in full to Nezha's health, potentially killing them (if strong enough), before the 1 second invulnerability can take effect.
• Blocking with a melee weapon will not reduce damage taken to Warding Halo's Health, but will reduce damage taken from the 10% that is not absorbed by Warding Halo.

Main article: Safeguard

Safeguard is a Warframe Augment Mod for Nezha that allows him to cast Warding Halo on allies, albeit with reduced durability.

• Using  Health Conversion to gain armor stacks before casting Warding Halo, greatly increases its base health without requiring as much Power Strength.
• Be careful against enemies like Mutalist Osprey. Their toxin cloud for example deals damage to your Warding Halo and to your HP, bypassing your shield. This can kill you very easily, even with a full Warding Halo.

• Nidus expends a single Mutation stack to perform symbiosis with a targeted ally Warframe within 24 / 28 / 34 / 40 meters or parasitically link with a targeted enemy within 10 / 13 / 16 / 20 meters. The link persists as long as Nidus and his target remain in range of each other, lasting for 30 / 35 / 45 / 60 seconds or when manually deactivated by pressing the ability key again.
  • Ally and enemy link range are affected by Ability Range.
  • Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Parasitic Link does not require line-of-sight to maintain connection between Nidus and his target.
  • If the target dies during cast before the link is attached, the single Mutation stack used for Parasitic Link will be refunded.
• When linked with an ally Warframe, Nidus and his target both receive a 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% Ability Strength bonus. When linked with an enemy, the target is completely disabled for the duration while Nidus transfers 20% / 30% / 40% / 50% damage received to the target instead; all knockdown, stagger, and negative status effects are also transferred from Nidus to the enemy target.
  • Ability Strength bonus and damage redirection are affected by Ability Strength.
  • Parasitic Link's Ability Strength bonus affects Ability Strength multiplicatively using the following expressions:

    Modified Strength Bonus = Strength Bonus × (1 + Ability Strength)

    • With a maxed  Intensify and the 15% Ability Strength rank bonus, Nidus will have 145% Ability Strength, resulting in 0.25 × (1 + 0.3 + 0.15) = 36.25% Modified Strength Bonus displayed on the UI.

      Modified Ability Strength = (1 + Ability Strength) × (1 + Modified Strength Bonus)

    • Modified Strength Bonus then increases Ability Strength multiplicatively, granting 1.45 × (1 + 0.3625) = 197.5625% Modified Ability Strength that affects Nidus' other abilities while a rank-3 Parasitic Link is active.
    • The Modified Strength Bonus is the same percentage for your linked ally. However, Modified Ability Strength's calculation will depend on your linked ally's own Ability Strength.
  • Damage redirection is capped at 90%, achievable with an Ability Strength of at least 180%.
  • Enemy target is invulnerable to outside sources of damage and immune to external crowd control effects while Parasitic Link is active, but is not immune to damage and crowd control effects transferred from Nidus. Damage from outside sources is accumulated and dealt to the target when the ability expires or is manually deactivated.
    • Friendly fire is not transferred to the linked target.
• Ability Synergy: While linked to a target, using Virulence will spawn a second instance from the linked target that grows towards the targeted location, converging with the first instance from Nidus.
  • Enemies hit by the second instance separately counts toward Mutation stack, even when the same enemies also get hit by the first instance.
• Parasitic Link is a One-Handed Action and can be cast while in midair.
• Nidus and the target are visibly covered in infestation and connected via a tether of biochemical energy, which is affected by the chosen Warframe energy color.
• Cannot link to a target already affected by Parasitic Link. Multiple Nidus players cannot link to the same target, nor to each other while their own Parasitic Link ability is active.
• When connected to another Nidus player, both players will use the Ability Strength bonus from the casting player; the link will break if the partner activates Parasitic Link on a different target.

• Nyx enters a meditative state that allows her to absorb incoming damage and become completely immune to all forms of crowd control. A passive damage threshold is created that increases by 160 / 170 / 180 / 200 every second (e.g., an Absorb lasting 10 seconds will inflict a minimum of 2000 damage at max rank). This threshold has a minimum damage potential of 800 / 900 / 1000 / 1500. If the total amount of absorbed damage is greater than the damage threshold when Nyx leaves her meditative state, all absorbed damage and their types is inflicted to every enemy in a 5 / 7 / 8 / 10 meter explosion of psychic energy.
  • Minimum damage and passive damage gain are affected by Ability Strength but absorbed damage is not.
  • Only 10% of all incoming damage can be absorbed.
  • Explosion damage bypasses obstacles in the environment and diminishes with distance. Affected enemies suffer a Knockdown.
  • Explosion radius and orb size is affected by Ability Range.
  • Explosion radius is affected by damage absorbed, up to a maximum of 75m.
  • The invulnerability is extended to Sentinels or MOA (Companion)s , but not to pets.
• Absorb drains 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 energy per second, and will remain active so long as Nyx has energy. An additional 8 energy is drained for every 1000 damage that's absorbed. Absorb will end if Nyx runs out of energy, or if deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 4 ).
  • Activation energy cost and drain cost from damage are affected by Ability Efficiency, and the channeling energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
  • Nyx cannot replenish energy using Energy Vampire, Rift Plane's innate energy regeneration, Squad Energy Restores,  Energy Siphon, Energizing Dash,  Rage, and/or  Hunter Adrenaline while Absorb is active.
  • Absorb's energy drain is not converted into shields by Augur Mods.
  • Energy can be replenished by Energy Orbs,  Arcane Energize and/or Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores while the ability is active.
• Absorb converts 0.03% of the damage Absorb takes into an additive weapon damage bonus that activates when the ability is released, lasting 8 seconds, or until the ability is used again.
  • E.g. the damage bonus looks like: (1 + Damage Mods + absorb conversion percentage × (1 + Strength Mods))
  • This effect has an upper cap of 400% additive weapon damage (13330 damage absorbed).
  • Does not apply to melee weapons
• Nyx is immune to all effects by enemies. This does not include the energy drain from Energy Leech Eximus, which can still constantly drain energy as they are near.
• Nyx's evasion passive is disabled while Absorb is active.
• Casting Absorb in the air will cause Nyx to stay suspended until the skill is deactivated.
  • Absorb will stop any movement achieved prior to casting the skill when used in the air.
  • Even after deactivation, no momentum will carry over. Instead, you will drop straight down.
  • This does reset the directional melee, however, and it may be used again to regain some momentum. Used in this manner, Nyx is able to "fly" across tiles so long as she has energy to cast Absorb.
• After not receiving damage for a short amount of time, the damage counter resets. This will not reset Absorb's total accumulated damage, however.
• Nyx's threat level is raised while Absorb is active.
• Shields are allowed to recharge freely while in the absorb state, whether Nyx is being attacked or not.
• If cast while falling off a ledge, Nyx will return from her original location and release Absorb immediately.
• Arcanes that require the player to receive damage to trigger (such as  Arcane Agility) can trigger while under effects of Absorb.

Main article: Assimilate

Assimilate is a Warframe Augment Mod for Nyx that allows her to move and attack while channeling Absorb and prevents friendly fire from being absorbed, at the cost of shrinking Absorb's effective radius by 50%.

Main article: Singularity

Singularity is a PvE and Conclave Warframe Augment Mod for Nyx's Absorb that creates a ring every three seconds to drag in enemies close enough to Singularity's radius.

• Both the player and their allies can contribute to the damage absorbed, dramatically increasing damage output.
  • Explosive weapons (ex: Penta and Ogris) contribute a high amount of damage incredibly quickly. Using these weapons will also drain your energy at a high rate.
• It is not advisable to use this skill with the sentinel Shade. Shade will cloak Nyx during the Absorb period most of the time, whether the enemy is crowded around Nyx or not. As such, no damage will be absorbed as the enemy cannot see Nyx. During solo, the skill works fine still, as there are no teammates to draw enemy attention away.
• Using this ability while on an Ice Trap in the void will greatly reduce energy drained.
• If playing solo, this ability is a good candidate to combine Maximized Ability Efficiency and Maximized Ability Strength. When combined, the ability will:
  • Cost 12.5 energy to activate, 7 energy per second to channel, and 4 energy will be drained for every 1000 damage absorbed.
  • Deal 4260 damage to targets within 10 meters.
  • Ragdoll all enemies, throwing them backwards. (minus exceptions listed above)
• Some user functions are still available even after Absorb is cast (thought it's not clear if this is intended functionality):
  • Weapon detonation can still be triggered, enabling Nyx to self-inflict absorb-able damage (ex: Penta).
  • If knocked down or downed while casting, Nyx will be able to move and attack during the duration of the ability.
• Allies that stand inside the absorb bubble are shielded from incoming ranged damage to some degree.
  • This can be a useful way to assist resurrecting an ally in a party of 3 or more.
• During this ability, Nyx will be in mid-air suspension, instantly stopping her fall speed. This can be an advantage in correcting improper fall timing or while performing coordinated Maneuvers.
  • If Absorb ends in mid-air, in can often perform headshots on nearby enemies.
• For easy energy management one can use  Equilibrium in combination with  Synth Deconstruct and  Synth Fiber.

• Oberon consecrates the ground in an angle of 90 / 100 / 120 / 180 degrees in front of him, spanning up to 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters, for 10 / 15 / 17 / 20 seconds. Enemies standing on the area of effect are dealt 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 Radiation damage with a 5 / 10 / 12 / 15% Radiation status chance every half second, while allies are relinquished of any negative status effects and become immune to them for as long as they are standing on the area.
  • Damage and status chance are affected by Ability Strength.
  • Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Radius and angle are affected by Ability Range.
    • The radius follows the expression:Base Range + 11.25 × (Ability Range - 1)
      • For example, with a maxed  Stretch, the radius will increase to
        15 + 11.25 × (1.45 - 1) = 20.0625 meters.
    • The angle follows the expression Base Angle + 135° × (Ability Range - 1)
      • For example, with a maxed Stretch, the angle will increase to
        180° + 135° × (1.45 - 1) = 240.75°).
      • Therefore, 234% Ability Range is needed to bring the angle up to 360°, making it a full circle. This will also increase the radius to 15 + 11.25 × (2.34 - 1) = 30.075 meters.
• Status effect immunity applies to physical disabling effects such as knockdowns and staggers.
  • It does not apply to Eximus energy drains or Nauseous Crawler disables. Magnetic procs from Ancient Disruptors are resisted; however, Disruptors are still able to drain a small amount of energy with every attack.
  • Radiation procs, however, are not removed from already irradiated allies, but only from Oberon himself, and only with his own Hallowed Ground.
• Enemies and allies must be grounded and standing on the area to be affected by Hallowed Ground.
  • Flying enemies that are too high above the ground may not be affected by this ability.
• Ability Synergy:
  • If Oberon or any allies affected by Renewal stands on Hallowed Ground, they will receive the Iron Renewal buff, which grants 125 / 150 / 175 / 200 bonus armor for as long as Renewal is active. Once Renewal is deactivated, the armor buff will remain on all affected units for 20 more seconds.
    • The armor bonus is affected by Ability Strength.
    • Bonus armor is added after other armor increases (e.g. an Oberon with a maxed  Steel Fiber and  Intensify will have (150 × 2.1) + (200 × 1.3) = 575 armor).
    • Buff duration is affected by Ability Duration.
    • As  Link Armor scales with the player's armor, companions with this mod benefit twice from Iron Renewal, as the companion links into the player's increased armor and then gets buffed by Iron Renewal.
  • Enemies that survive Reckoning while standing on Hallowed Ground will have their armor permanently reduced by 10% / 15% / 20% / 30%.
    • Armor reduction is affected by Ability Strength.
      • Armor reduction is applied to the enemy's base armor when accounting multiple casts.
• Can only have 4 instances of Hallowed Ground active at once per player.
• If cast in midair, Oberon will instantly drop to the ground to perform this ability.
• Hallowed Ground spawns foliage inside its area of effect as visual representation. Oberon creates a field of grass, while Oberon Prime creates a field of ferns. Grass and ferns are affected by Oberon's chosen Warframe Accent color.
  • The shimmering energy field encompassing the ground is affected by Oberon's chosen Warframe energy color.

Main article: Hallowed Eruption

Hallowed Eruption is a Warframe Augment Mod for Oberon. Upon casting Hallowed Ground again with a previous instance still active, the first one will immediately expire, dealing all remaining damage in a single instance with a chance to deal Radiation proc. This mod also passively increases Hallowed Ground's duration.

• Enemies will traverse and fight through Hallowed Ground without any special attempts to evade its area of effect.
• Narrow pathways such as doorways and halls are effective at forcing groups of enemies to cluster into Hallowed Ground.
• Summoning multiple, overlapping layers of Hallowed Ground will deal the full combined damage over time to enemies.
• Hallowed Ground is most efficiently used in areas where constant enemy and ally activity is expected over an extended period of time.
• Hallowed Ground's status effect immunity can be used to pass through environmental traps unhindered, such as Grineer Magnetic Sensor Bars and Corpus Laser Barriers.
  • Note however that activating these traps in spy missions will still trigger vault alarms.
• Hallowed Ground will make players immune to to Radiation and Magnetic singularities in Sorties.

• Revenant surrounds himself in a shroud of Sentient energy that reflects 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 incoming enemy attacks; attackers receive 100% of the reflected damage and Status Effects, while also becoming stunned for 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 seconds. Mesmer Skin lasts until all charges are used.
  • Number of reflect charges is affected by Ability Strength.
  • Stun duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Casting speed is affected by  Natural Talent and  Speed Drift.
  • Number of remaining charges is displayed on the ability icon.
  • For any non-integer the number of charges is rounded up to the next whole number. For example, 255% power strength = 15.3 charges, this is rounded to 16. However in game the maximum charges will display 15, with the 16th charge displayed as 0.
  • Does make Revenant immune to self-stagger without costing a charge.
  • Does not reflect damage dealt by status effects and objects created by enemies (e.g., Napalm flame patches)
  • Mesmer Skin converts knockdown from Shockwave MOA waves into a knockback.
  • Mesmer Skin reflects damage from Scorpion and Ancient hookshots, as well as blocking their knockdown and pull effects.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Enthrall costs no energy to cast on an enemy stunned by Mesmer Skin.
  • While Mesmer Skin is active, Reave restores 1 charge per thrall that Revenant passes through, up to the full charge count.
  • While Mesmer Skin is active, allies such as Warframes and Companions that contact Reave's current will gain a Mesmer Skin buff with 1 charge that lasts until used.
• Mesmer Skin does not nullify damage from Explosive Barrels, Gas or Toxin Damage (usually from Nox and Venomous Eximus units) or Environmental Hazards, although they will not use up a charge.
  • However, Mesmer Skin prevents Revenant's health from reaching below 2, preventing him from dying.
• Can be recast while active to apply a new instance. Previously unused Mesmer Skin charges are removed during recast.
• Casting Mesmer Skin is a full body animation that interrupts grounded movement and other actions.
• Revenant visually grows a cluster of Eidolon tendrils on his left shoulder, emits fumes from his body and a shroud of white mist around his torso while Mesmer Skin is active. Allies that gain Mesmer Skin also exhibit these visual effects on their body.
• Eidolon tendrils and fumes color tinting are affected by Revenant's chosen Warframe energy color.

• Rhino hardens his skin to create a reinforcing buffer with 400 / 600 / 800 / 1200 base health. Rhino's total armor multiplied by 250% is also added to the buffer's health. Upon activation, Iron Skin is invulnerable for 1.5 / 2 / 3 / 3 seconds. All incoming damage that is absorbed during this invulnerability period is converted into health and added to the buffer's health. While the Iron Skin is active, Rhino becomes immune to damage and status effects. Iron Skin will expire when the buffer's health is depleted.
  • Iron Skin's total health, before absorbing damage, is multiplicatively affected by Ability Strength.
  • Iron Skin's health uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength:
    Modified Health = (Base Health + (Armor Multiplier × Base Armor × (1 + Armor Mods))) × (1 + Ability Strength) + Absorbed Damage.
  • Note that the base armor value is different between Rhino and Rhino Prime; while Rhino has 225 Base Armor, Rhino Prime has 275 Base Armor.
  • As an example for Rhino:
    • With a maxed  Steel Fiber and  Intensify, a Rank 3 Iron Skin cast by Rhino will have an initial health of (1200 + (2.5 × 225 × 2.1)) × 1.3 = 3,095.625 before absorbing damage.
  • Modifying that equation for Rhino Prime:
    • With a maxed  Steel Fiber and  Intensify, a Rank 3 Iron Skin cast by Rhino Prime will have an initial health of (1200 + (2.5 × 275 × 2.1)) × 1.3 = 3,436.875 before absorbing damage.
  • While active, a health counter becomes visible on the ability icon that tracks Iron Skin's health percentage from 100% to 0%.
  • The amount of health gained from absorbed damage is displayed in the HUD beside Rhino's shield and health indicators while Iron Skin is invulnerable.
  • Despite invulnerability, status effects are not ignored during that period, allowing debilitating status effects such as knockdown and cold procs to occur until Iron Skin fully activates.
  • Invulnerability duration is not affected by Ability Duration.
  • Status effect immunity includes crowd-controlling effects such as knockdowns and staggers. Energy drains from Ancient Disruptors, including the small amounts of energy they drain with each melee attack, are resisted. However, Eximus energy drains and Nauseous Crawler disables are not resisted by Iron Skin.
• Iron Skin protects Rhino's health from damage that bypasses shields such as Toxin damage.
• Allows Rhino's shields to regenerate while active.
• Can be used to both block and pass through Corpus Laser Barriers and Grineer Sensor Bars.
• Blocking with a melee weapon does not reduce damage taken while Iron Skin is active.
• Using Iron Skin will not stop the health damage taken in the Vampire Challenge of Nightmare Mode. However, Iron Skin will not be drained.
• When the air runs out in Survival, Iron skin will deplete almost immediately and recasting it will cause it to dissipate near instantly.
• Damage resistance on Rhino, like Trinity's Blessing, other similar Warframe Abilities, and mods like Adaptation do not apply to Iron Skin (this list includes Armor).
• Iron Skin uses object health, so incoming damage is not modified by type and cannot crit.
• Ability Synergy: While Iron Skin is active, damage from Rhino Charge will have a 100% status chance for Blast effects.
• For Rhino Prime, Iron Skin's visual effects will take into account the chosen accent color. It is otherwise functionally identical.
• Can be activated while sliding, jumping, forward flipping, wall running, or wall clinging.

Main article: Iron Shrapnel

Iron Shrapnel is a Warframe Augment Mod usable in both PvE and Conclave for Rhino's Iron Skin that when active allows it to be detonated by pressing the ability key (default 2 ), unleashing a radial AoE attack that deals a portion of its remaining health as Puncture damage.

• Ironskin can be removed early by:
  • Entering the bubble of a Nullifier Crewman (Corrupted)
  • Entering the aura range of Combas & Scrambuses
  • Being dispelled by Stalker
  • Falling out of the map.
  • Host Migration
• With a  Streamline or  Fleeting Expertise mod, Rhino can cast Iron Skin immediately after the first Energy Drain tick in order to give himself a "shield" of sorts.
• It is possible to gain a significant amount of health for Iron Skin by standing in the path of a Death Orb beam during the invulnerability phase. Be warned however, as the beam can quickly deplete said health if the player does not move out of the way once the invulnerability phase ends.
• Using Rhino Charge with  Ironclad Charge installed before casting Iron Skin can significantly boost its health by boosting the armor.
  • By this method, you can easily reach over 50k of Iron Skin health by charging into a group of enemies when invested in armor and ability strength.
  •  Ironclad Charge's armor bonus is applied to Iron Skin as long as Iron Skin's casting was started in the duration of the buff.
    •  Iron Shrapnel can help by providing the ability to re-cast Iron Skin at any given time, even with extremely lowered ability duration as long as you cast Iron Skin right after a Rhino Charge.
•  Arcane Tanker can significantly provide armor boost, effectively increasing Iron Skin's health by roughly over 100%.

• Titania scatters enchanted dust in a 1 / 3 / 3 / 5 meter radius around the location she aims at, up to 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 meters away. Enemies within this area are disarmed, become unable to perform any action while in a ragdoll state, and weightlessly float in mid-air for 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 seconds. Titania and her allies caught within the dust cloud are cleansed from status effects and gain immunity to them for the duration of the ability. Holding down the ability key (default 1 ) casts the ability point-blank from Titania.
  • Cast range and area radius are affected by Ability Range.
  • Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Cast animation of 1 second is affected by  Natural Talent and  Speed Drift.
    • Can be cast while moving, but will interrupt other actions such as reloading, charging or shooting.
  • Status cleanse and immunity are not affected by mods.
  • Status immunity also protects from crowd control effects (such as knockdowns and staggers), including the lock-out animation of Archwing and Razorwing when impacting a surface.
• Enemies affected by Spellbind will float away in the direction of their movement depending on their velocity and momentum at the time of cast. Hit-scan, projectile, and melee attacks can cause spellbound enemies to ricochet in random directions.
• After Spellbind expires, enemies previously armed with weapons cannot attack until they retrieve their weapons from their initial position. Those that do not use weapons (such as the Infested) will recover quickly.
• Recasting on Titania or an ally will refresh the status immunity.
• Spellbound allies and enemies emit unique particle effects:
  • Enemies visually emit energy butterflies fluttering about and an upward stream of energy stripes, both affected by Titania's energy colors.
  • Allies visually emit energy butterflies fluttering about, affected by their own energy colors.
• Spellbind can be aimed at any surface, but will only allow you to use it if an enemy is within the predicted area of effect.
• Subsuming Titania to the Helminth will offer Spellbind and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Main article: Spellbound Harvest

Spellbound Harvest is a Warframe Augment Mod for Titania which lets her regain Energy when hitting at least 4 enemies with Spellbind.

• The status immunity granted by Spellbind also prevents Titania from being staggered when hitting surfaces in Razorwing. Holding the button down to activate Spellbind on yourself can be really helpful when flying through tight spaces.

• Imbuing herself with defensive energy, Trinity tethers to up to 1 / 2 / 2 / 3 closest enemies within a radius of 12 / 14 / 17 / 20 meters for 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 seconds. While linked, she reduces incoming damage to herself by 50% / 60% / 70% / 75% and transfers 100% of incoming damage and Status Effects to the tethered enemies instead.
  • Radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Casting time of 0.6 seconds is affected by  Natural Talent and  Speed Drift.
  • Number of affected enemies, damage reduction, and damage and status transfer are not affected by mods.
  • Trinity must be linked to at least one enemy at any given moment to gain the ability's defensive benefits.
  • Status immunity applies to physical staggers and knockdown.
    • Includes knockdown from environmental traps such as Corpus Laser Barriers. Note that tripping these barriers in Spy missions will still trigger vault alarms.
  • Status effect immunity does not include Eximus energy drains or Nauseous Crawler disables. Magnetic procs from Ancient Disruptors are resisted; however, they are still able to drain a small amount of energy with every attack due to their aura.
• Ability Synergy: damage redirected by Link toward a Well Of Life target heals Trinity for the lifesteal conversion amount, as well as becomes stored and dealt in full against the Well of Life target once the ability ends.
• If Trinity is bleeding out while this ability is active, she will not link with nearby enemies.
• Trinity cannot link with The Stalker.
• Although it will mitigate damage from Ancient Healers and Corrupted Ancients it will not hurt them due to how they absorb damage from nearby allies.
• Trinity and linked enemies will shine the color of her energy.
• Cannot be recast while active.
• Casting Link is a full-body animation that stops grounded movement and all other actions.

Main article: Abating Link

Abating Link is a Warframe Augment Mod for Trinity's Link that reduces the armor of all connected enemies.

• Keeping this ability active when surrounded by high-level enemies will dramatically increase Trinity's survivability.
  • Be careful of Link's slow, immobile cast delay, lest you become overwhelmed by burst fire.
• Use Trinity's Energy Vampire to fuel Link's high energy cost.
• Link connects to enemies through walls and other obstacles, which serves as an early-warning system indicating if enemies are nearby.
  • Similarly, Link can connect to and track the position of cloaked enemies such as Capture targets and Manics.
• Be wary of mods and effects which reduce Ability Range as they make it harder to maintain an active link, and with that, Link's defensive benefits.

• Overcome with rage, Valkyr unleashes a pair of energy talons, the Valkyr Talons, as her melee Exalted Weapon. Normal attacks deal 100 / 125 / 200 / 250 damage within 2 meters.
  • Damage is distributed evenly between Impact, Puncture, and Slash.
  • Wall attacks and slide attacks inflict 300 / 375 / 600 / 750 damage for each strike.
  • Aerial attacks inflict 200 / 250 / 400 / 500 damage.
  • Slam attacks inflict 300 damage within 5 meters.
• Attacks have a 200% critical multiplier with a 50% critical chance and a 10% status chance. Additionally, Valkyr is healed for 1% / 2% / 4% / 5% of the total melee damage she inflicts.
• Damage is affected by Ability Strength, the Melee Combo Counter, most mods, and buffs.
  • As an example, with a maxed  Pressure Point,  Shocking Touch and  Intensify, the normal attacks of a rank-3 Hysteria will deal
    Base Damage × (1 + Damage Mods) × (1 + Elemental Mods) × (1 + Strength Mods) =
    250 × (1 + 1.2) × (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 1,358.5 damage.
  • The mods that can be equipped on and affect Valkyr Talons include:
    • damage (e.g.,  Steel Charge)
    • physical damage (e.g.,  Jagged Edge)
    • elemental damage (e.g.,  Shocking Touch)
    • faction (e.g.,  Smite Corpus)
    • critical chance and damage (e.g.,  True Steel and  Organ Shatter)
    • Status chance (e.g.,  Melee Prowess and  Vicious Frost)
    • attack speed (e.g.,  Fury and  Berserker)
    • range (e.g.,  Primed Reach)
    •  Condition Overload
    •  Drifting Contact
    •  Healing Return
    •  Relentless Combination
    •  Shattering Impact
      • While officially Set Mod bonuses do not affect Exalted Weapons (with the exception of the Sacrificial Mod Set), the Gladiator Mod Set can still apply if equipped on Melee or Robotic Weapons (i.e. Helios/Helios Prime's Deconstructor/ Deconstructor Prime), and not on the Exalted Weapon itself.
  • Range mods do not affect the radius of slam attacks.
  • Valkyr Talons can not be equipped with Melee Combo Counter Mods (except  Drifting Contact), Acolyte Mods (e.g.,  Blood Rush), or Amalgam Mods (e.g.  Amalgam Organ Shatter).
  • Riven Mods are not generated for Valkyr Talons.
  • The combo counter will reset when equipped with Xoris.
  • Hysteria's combo counter decay is affected by Power Spike.
  • Radial damage from slam attacks diminishes with distance, does not have a critical chance, is not affected by the Melee Combo Counter, and will cause enemies within range to suffer a knockdown.
  • Ground finishers inflict 1600% of the total modified damage from normal attacks. Prompted finishers inflict 6400% of the total modified damage from normal attacks as True Damage.
    • The damage composition of a ground finisher is the same as a modified normal attack; however, Impact damage from ground finishers is multiplied by 125%.
    • The finisher multipliers for both attacks are affected by  Finishing Touch.
  • Each attack adds to the Melee Combo Counter; however, radial damage from slam attacks does not.
  • Hysteria's innate lifesteal is calculated from the total damage of Valkyr's melee attacks after resistances are applied. Hysteria's lifesteal is also additive when combined with other sources of lifesteal
    • For example, a maxed  Life Strike and a rank-3 Hysteria will yield
      Base Lifesteal + Lifesteal Mods = 5% + 20% = 25% lifesteal on heavy hits.
    • Lifesteal is not affected by Ability Strength.
• While active, Valkyr becomes immune to all damage and status effects.
  • Status immunity includes crowd-controlling effects such as knockdowns, staggers, and Nauseous Crawler paralysis.
    • Certain attacks will still push Valkyr away, and shock waves will cause her to bounce into the air. However, these attacks will not force Valkyr to the ground.
    • Statuses that were already active when Hysteria was cast will not be removed. However, Valkyr will be immune to their damage regardless.
    • Valkyr is not immune to Commander teleportation, Regulator minimap disruption, Cryo Floors, Tar-Mutalist MOA slows, or Swarm-Mutalist MOA screen hazing.
• Valkyr emits an aura with a radius of 5 meters around her while Hysteria is active, and 30% of the total damage she ignores is stored. If any enemies within this aura have line-of-sight of Valkyr when Hysteria is deactivated, Valkyr will be dealt 25% of all stored damage as Impact damage.
  • The aura will continue to grow up to 20 meters and each kill reduces it by 1 meter. It cannot be reduced below 5 meters under any circumstances.
  • Damage percentages are not affected by Ability Strength.
  • Aura radius is not affected by Ability Range.
  • Stored damage is calculated from the total damage Valkyr ignores before resistances are applied.
  • The amount of stored damage can be monitored at the top right of the HUD under Hysteria's ability icon.
  • Highlighted enemies become unmarked if Valkyr moves out of range, negating the damage taken when Hysteria expires.
  • Since enemies need line-of-sight, invisibility prevents the damage.
• After activation, a percentage counter will appear on the ability icon. The percentage increases to 100% over the course of 40 seconds.
  • Hysteria consumes 2.5 energy per second at 0% while active. The cost will increase by an additional 2.5 until it caps out at 15 energy per second at 100%. Hysteria will remain active until either Valkyr's energy is depleted, or the ability is deactivated by casting it again (default 4 ).
    • Activation energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency, and the energy drain is affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
    • Valkyr cannot replenish energy using Squad Energy Restores, Rift Plane's energy regeneration,  Energy Siphon, Zenurik's Energizing Dash, or Trinity's Energy Vampire while Hysteria is active. However, Energy Orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, and/or  Arcane Energize will still replenish energy normally.
    • Hysteria's energy drain is not converted into shields by Augur Mods.
• Hysteria is affected by and can trigger Warframe and Exodia Arcanes.
• While Hysteria is active, Valkyr can cast her other abilities and user her primary and secondary weapon. Switching weapons will disable Hysteria's effects, including making her vulnerable to damage again; it will also pause the energy cost increase but will continue to drain energy at the current rate.
• Hysteria comes installed with its own unique stance. Additional combos will be unlocked as Hysteria increases in rank.
• Has a cast time of 1 second, affected by  Natural Talent.
  • Despite being classified as its own weapon,  Speed Holster will have no effect on casting speed. However, it will affect Hysteria's 'unequip' animation, played upon its deactivation.
• Hysteria's attacks can damage enemies across the Rift Plane.

Main article: Valkyr Talons

Valkyr Talons are Valkyr and Valkyr Prime's signature Exalted Weapon that can only be used upon activating the ability Hysteria. The weapon exclusively uses the Hysteria stance.

Main article: Hysteria (Stance)

Hysteria is a unique Stance exclusive to Valkyr Talons that can only be acquired and used by activating Valkyr's fourth ability, Hysteria. This Stance overrides the Stance on any currently equipped melee weapon for as long as Hysteria remains active.

Main article: Hysterical Assault

Hysterical Assault is a Warframe Augment/Exilus mod for Valkyr that allows her to pounce onto enemies while in Hysteria by meleeing while aiming, dealing damage on contact. It also provides brief immunity when aiming a primary or secondary weapon.

Main article: Enraged

Enraged is a Warframe Augment Mod for Valkyr's Hysteria that increases its damage and critical chance but fixes its duration to 15 seconds and adds a matching cooldown. The base energy cost is also increased to 50, while the energy drain over time is removed.

• There may be a dark red hue for the duration of Hysteria, making it difficult to see enemies. This is especially problematic if Infested Parasites are nearby.
  • Turning 'Color Correction' off in Options > Display can alleviate this issue.
• Her invulnerability can be taken advantage of in reviving teammates in exchange for consuming energy and not attacking enemies with her powerful claws.
  • This can also be used to escape powerful opponents at the middle point of this ability. Allowing greater hit and run tactics.
• It's preferable to use  Steel Charge over  Growing Power when modding for pure damage as the former adds more damage to Hysteria than the latter.
  • Even with Steel Charge equipped, using  Power Drift will still add more damage than  Coaction Drift.
• It's recommended to activate Melee Auto-targeting System in the options as Valkyr's awkward attack animations may miss a lot.
• Players who suffer low FPS (Frames per second) may want to avoid attack speed boosts, such as Warcry, while using Hysteria. High attack speeds can result in a loss of DPS as melee attacks are "semi-automatic".
• Charge Attacks in Hysteria open enemies to Finishers, allowing you to reliably use the damage boost without spending energy on her Paralysis ability.
  • This finisher also knocks enemies down, allowing for a successive ground finisher for a quick burst of high damage.

• Wukong engages a defiant stance while priming his Iron Staff, becoming invulnerable to damage and new Status Effects, increasing his Threat Level to taunt enemies into attacking him, and reducing his movement speed by 50% for 2 seconds. Any damage Wukong takes while in this stance is absorbed and stored; after the invulnerability period expires, Wukong cleanses himself of any negative status effects, spins in place while elongating his staff and inflicts the stored damage multiplied by 4 / 5 / 6 / 7.5 times to all enemies within a radius of 7 / 8 / 10 / 12 meters. The spin can be executed earlier by pressing the ability key again (default 3 ) or using melee attack.
  • Invulnerability duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Damage multiplier is affected by Ability Strength.
  • Swing radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • Status cleanse and movement speed penalty are not affected by mods.
  • Enemies hit by the staff are ragdolled away in the direction of the swing.
• After executing his spin, Wukong gains a variable Armor bonus lasting for 15 / 18 / 20 / 25 seconds or until Defy is recast; Defy armor bonus value depends on the damage absorbed during the taunt, with the stored amount multiplied by 0.8 / 1 / 1.2 / 1.5 times to grant a minimum of 50 armor points, up to a maximum of 1,500 armor points.
  • Armor duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Armor multiplier is affected by Ability Strength.
  • Minimum and maximum armor bonuses are not affected by mods.
  • Armor bonus is removed if Defy is recast before it expires.
  • While the armor bonus is active, a stylized armor bonus counter appears above the ability icons.
• Ability Synergy: When activating Defy with an active Celestial Twin, the twin engages in Defy, gaining the same increased Threat Level, invulnerability, damage reflection, and armor bonus.
• Wukong cannot cast other abilities, perform parkour Maneuvers or general interactions while channeling this ability.
• Subsuming Wukong to the Helminth will offer Defy and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
  • However, Subsumed Defy's armor bonus is capped at 750.

• Hildryn emits a radial pulse with an initial radius of 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters, which follows her as an aura and rapidly expands outward by 20 meters per second over a duration of 2 seconds. Hildryn and allies touched by the expanding pulse are instantly cleansed of all negative Status Effects. Enemies in direct line of sight of Hildryn and within range of her aura are marked for pillage, reducing their current Shields and Armor by 10% / 15% / 20% / 25%. When Pillage expires or when the ability key (default 2 ) is pressed again while the ability is active, the pulse instantly retracts to Hildryn to restore her missing shields and produce Overshields based on the amount or shields and/or armor stolen from all pillaged enemies.
  • Shield/armor drain per enemy is affected by Ability Strength.
  • Pulse initial radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • Expansion duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Shield cost is affected by Ability Efficiency.
  • Expansion distance per second and status cleanse are not affected by mods.
  • Shield restore affects Kubrows, Kavats, and MOAs, but has no effect on Sentinels.
  • Armor reduction is permanent and stacks multiplicatively with repeated use.
  • Does not steal from enemies without shields or armor stats.
  • Enemies that possess both shields and armor will need to have their shields broken before armor can be pillaged.
  • Repeatedly pillaging shields will eventually steal 0 points without breaking the enemy's shield, allowing it to regenerate shortly after.
    • Doing the same on armor, however, will be able to entirely remove the target's armor.
  • Casting speed is affected by  Natural Talent and  Speed Drift.
  • Pillaged enemies leaving Pillage's pulse and/or Hildryn's line of sight will still return shields to her.
• Casting Pillage is a full body animation that stops Hildryn's grounded movement and other actions.
• Pillage cannot be cast while Aegis Storm is active.
• Hildryn's shoulder-mounted shield pads briefly become visible when Pillage is cast.
• Enemies affected by Pillage glow in an upward stream of energy particles. Pillaged shields return to Hildryn as energy missiles once the ability expires or is recast while active.
• Pulse, energy stream, and energy missiles are affected by Hildryn's chosen Warframe energy color.
• Subsuming Hildryn to the Helminth will offer Pillage and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
  • Subsumed Pillage uses 50 energy instead of shields.
  • Does not generate shields for Inaros and Nidus.
  • Other Warframes cannot make use of the  Blazing Pillage augment, due to their inability to cast Haven.

Main article: Blazing Pillage

Blazing Pillage is a Warframe Augment Mod for Hildryn that makes enemies affected by Haven receive Heat damage with a guaranteed proc and restore Shields to Hildryn when hit by Pillage.

Rank	Heat Damage	Shields restored	Cost

• Similar to Molecular Prime, ability duration is far more effective at increasing this ability's range than ability range itself. Increasing duration also provides more time for Hildryn to move around and tag enemies with the aura.
• Modding for  Corrosive Projection or  Shield Disruption is ill-advised as this ability relies on enemies having shields or armor.

• Revenant transforms into a torrent of Sentient energy that surges forward toward the aiming reticle, at a speed of ? meters per second for 0.25 / 0.5 / 0.75 / 1 second. While traveling in energy form, Revenant is intangible, invulnerable to damage and protected against new Status Effects, as he pushes an energy current with a width of 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 meters. Reave can be manually cancelled by pressing the ability key again (default 3 ) during the dash.
  • Dash duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Current width is affected by Ability Range.
  • Casting speed is affected by  Natural Talent and  Speed Drift.
  • Travel speed is not affected by mods.
• Enemies passing through the energy current are drained 2% / 4% / 6% / 8% of their maximum Shields and Health, while Revenant restores 2% / 4% / 6% / 8% of his maximum shields and health from each enemy leeched; all active status effects on Revenant are also transferred to enemies he passes through.
  • Drain/restore percentages are affected by Ability Strength.
  • Status effects transfer is not affected by mods.
  • Does not restore shield points to Revenant if enemies do not possess shields.
  • Hitpoints from enemies can be drained and restored to Revenant multiple times, if enemies pass through the same instance of Reave.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Reave's shield and health drain/restore percentages increase 5 times (10% / 20% / 30% / 40% by default) against Enthralled enemies.
    • The drain percentage displayed in Abilities and the Upgrade screen display the Thrall-empowered drain.
  • While Mesmer Skin is active, Reave restores 1 charge per thrall that Revenant passes through, up to the full charge count.
  • While Mesmer Skin is active, allies such as Warframes and Companions that pass through Reave's current will gain a Mesmer Skin buff with 1 charge that lasts until used.
  • Can be cast for 50% reduced energy cost and cancelled at any time during Danse Macabre. Casting speed becomes instantaneous and allows limited steering with the movement keys during the dash.
• During Reave, Revenant continuously dashes toward the direction of the aiming reticle.
  • While grounded, Revenant can freely change his dash direction.
  • While airborne, Revenant cannot change directions until he makes contact with a horizontal surface.
• Casting Reave is an upper body animation that interrupts only upper body actions such as melee attacks or reloading and can be cast while airborne.
• Revenant visually becomes translucent and enveloped in Sentient energy during the dash.
• Sentient energy cloak, energy current, and particle trails are affected by Revenant's chosen Warframe energy color.
• Subsuming Revenant to the Helminth will offer Reave and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Main article: Blinding Reave

Blinding Reave is a Warframe Augment Mod for Revenant that blinds enemies caught in Reave's fog.

• Since Reave deals a set percent damage to enemies' health, it can scale indefinitely.
  • Without mods, at 100% Ability Strength, it would take 13 Reave casts to kill any enemy, only 3 if that enemy is enthralled.
  • The percent damage is always significantly reduced against Nox, even with enthralled one. Thus, it is quite ineffective and inefficient to kill them with Reave.
• Use Aim Glide during Reave to descend slowly.
• Move the aiming reticle during Reave to change your dash direction.
• Dash in a circle around enemies to drain from them multiple times.
• If a turret on the Plains of Eidolon is hit with Reave, it is instantly destroyed, regardless of level.

• Saryn sheds her skin, removing all existing status effects and increasing her movement speed by 1.3 / 1.35 / 1.4 / 1.5 times for 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5 seconds, while leaving behind a decoy with 400 shields and 150 / 300 / 400 / 500 health that draws enemy fire for 14 / 24 / 32 / 40 seconds. When deployed, the decoy is invulnerable for a period of 1.5 / 2 / 3 / 3 seconds, during which all incoming damage absorbed by it is converted and added to its health. The decoy will explode if it loses all of its hitpoints, if its duration expires or if the ability is cast again, inflicting 240 / 300 / 350 / 400 Toxin damage with 100% Toxin status chance to all enemies within 5 / 6 / 7 / 10 meters from it.
  • Decoy's health, explosion damage, and speed multiplier are affected by Ability Strength.
    • Explosion damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and diminishes with distance.
  • Decoy and speed buff duration are affected by Ability Duration.
  • Explosion radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • Status cleanse on cast, invulnerability time, decoy shields and status chance are not affected by mods.
  • Does not have a cast time or animation.
• Molt's decoy is placed at Saryn's current position, mirroring her pose and elevation.
  • Molt's shields regenerate over time and can be buffed with the use of allied Shield Ospreys, whether in Specter or Mind Controlled forms.
  • Elemental augment mods, such as Ember's  Fireball Frenzy, can be applied to Molt. The damage augment will not affect the explosion damage or damage type upon Molt's expiration.
  • Molt cannot be knocked down or moved, and acts as a physical object, unlike Loki's Decoy.
  • Molt will slowly vaporize and dissipate for its duration, eventually exploding once it nearly vanishes.
• Only 1 Molt may be active at a time. Creating another Molt will detonate the current Molt.
• Casting Molt can be done while performing any action without interrupting it, including reloading, charging, shooting, maneuvering, and while on a zipline.
  • Can be cast in all states (except while upside down in a flip jump or while dodging) and can be reused instantly.
• Subsuming Saryn to the Helminth will offer Molt and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Main article: Regenerative Molt

Regenerative Molt is a Warframe Augment Mod for Saryn that allows her to regenerate health over a span of time after casting Molt.

• Using during a well timed jump can result it being low enough for enemies to target, such as Infested or Melee units, but be more protected from most melee attacks. (Ancients will still be able to reach, as well as the knockback damage from Leapers).
• Place Molt in locations which can protect it from enemy attacks to maximize its survival.
• If Molt is closer to the enemy than the player, enemies will (normally) focus it. Applies to the caster as well as other players, unless the use aggro increasing abilities such as Nyx's Absorb or Rhino's Iron Skin.
• It can be used as protection from enemy fire, when you revive an downed teammate.

• Wukong disappears into a cloud and hides himself from enemy view for 2 seconds. In this form, Wukong moves at 30 meters per second, gaining vertical and horizontal flight capabilities using the movement (W A S D ), crouch (Ctrl ), and jump (Spacebar ) hotkeys, similar to Archwing Maneuvers but without the Afterburner. While traveling in the cloud, Wukong is invulnerable to damage, cleanses all Status Effects, and restores 0.5% / 0.6% / 0.8% / 1% health per meter travelled. Enemies that come within the cloud's radius of 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters are temporarily stunned for 2 seconds. Cloud Walker can be manually cancelled by pressing the ability key again (default 2 ) or by attacking.
  • Health restore per meter travelled is affected by Ability Strength.
  • Cloud duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Stun radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • Stun duration is not affected by mods.
  • Stunned enemies are open to melee finishers (default X ).
  • Unalerted enemies staggered by Cloud Walker remain unalerted during the stagger animation, and thus can engage Stealth Kill Affinity Bonuses when killed.
  • Health restore affects companions such as Kubrows, Kavats, and MOAs, but only if Link Health is equipped.
    • As Link mods cannot be equipped on companions, Cloud Walker's healing has no effect on Sentinels.
  • Cloud movement speed is not affected by Sprint Speed.
• Cloud Walker does not trigger defenses like Sensor Bars, Laser Barriers, and Security Cameras.
  • Cloud Walker can pass through Spy vault's defenses without triggering an alarm.
• Ability Synergy: When activating Cloud Walker with an active Celestial Twin, the twin becomes invulnerable to damage and receives its health restore per meter travelled bonus. After Cloud Walker ends, Wukong's twin is teleported to his side instantly.
• Wukong cannot cast other abilities, perform parkour Maneuvers or general interactions while channeling this ability.

Main article: Enveloping Cloud

Enveloping Cloud is a Warframe Augment Mod for Wukong's Cloud Walker that gives allies near the cloud temporary invisibility.

• An equipped Sentinel with  Vacuum will still collect nearby items and hold onto them for you to collect when Cloud Walker ends, similar to Hydroid's Undertow.
