Status Effect

This page is in reference to the Damage 2.0 system.

The chance that a hit will apply a Status Effect based on the types of damage the weapon inflicts.

—In-game Description

A Status Effect, or commonly called a Proc, is an additional effect which may be triggered at random by a hit from a weapon or Warframe ability. Status Chance is the probability that a hit will inflict a status effect. The base duration of the Proc will depend on its type, and whether the target is an enemy or another Tenno. Warframe abilities usually have a high chance to proc, or in some cases, greater than or equal to 100% chance to inflict their status effect (e.g. Frost Frost's Ice Wave Ice Wave ability).

Each damage type is associated with a status effect. Weapons that deal multiple damage types will have a separate chance to inflict its associated status effect on a target, and only one damage type can proc per hit. See below for information on which status effects are associated with which damage types.

For example, a weapon such as an unmodified Staticor Staticor deals solely Radiation Damage Radiation damage. In addition to its damage, the Staticor also has a 28% status chance on each shot to cause a proc. On a successful proc, the enemy will receive the Radiation status effect, which causes Confusion over the duration of the effect.

Enemies also possess the ability to inflict status effects on Tenno. For example, a Grineer Scorch has a chance to inflict the Ignited status effect with the Heat Damage Heat damage from his Ignis Ignis. Similarly, enemies are also able to inflict physical procs such as Bleeding (associated with Slash Damage Slash damage) directly to the player's health.

Empyrean[]

Main article: Damage#Empyrean

Empyrean gamemode and Railjacks use a slightly altered system of the currently existing damage system. Arch-guns and Arch-melees deal 90.91% (10/11) reduced damage to space enemies (or 9.09% of its arsenal damage) while Railjack Armaments and Tactical mods deal their full listed damage to them before accounting for hit point resistances and vulnerabilities.

Primary physical and elemental damage types have different status effects against space enemies outlined in the chart below. Secondary elemental damage types (Blast Damage Blast, Corrosive Damage Corrosive, Gas Damage Gas, Magnetic Damage Magnetic, Radiation Damage Radiation, and Viral Damage Viral) do not have altered status effects and cannot proc against space enemies, but Arch-guns and Arch-melees modded for secondary elementals will still increase total damage.

This system does not apply to on-foot enemies, such as Ramsled boarding parties, and Crewship and Point of Interests personnel, who will take damage and status as per normal.

Damage Type	Empyrean-only Status Effects
Impact Damage Impact	Concuss Crew within a gunship have reduced aim and damage for 6 seconds. Additional procs refresh duration.
Puncture Damage Puncture	Decompress Temporarily reduces target ship's shields by ?% and current armor by 10% for 20 seconds. Additional procs stack multiplicatively.
Slash Damage Slash	Tear Target ship receives 7.5% increased damage for 20 seconds. Additional procs stack multiplicatively with itself.
Cold Damage Cold	Immobilize Target ship's weapons are disabled and it slows down to a complete stop. Lasts for 6 seconds. Additional procs refresh duration.
Electricity Damage Electricity	Scramble Target ship spirals erratically for 6 seconds, being unable to attack while moving in a straight line. Additional procs refresh duration.
Heat Damage Heat	Sear Target ship receives damage over time for 6 seconds. Additional procs increase damage dealt over time.
Toxin Damage Toxin	Intoxicate Target ship attacks any closest enemy and will be attacked in return for 12 seconds. Additional procs refresh duration.

Status Chance[]

Status chance can be a key factor in deciding on a weapon of choice. Some effects are very powerful responses to certain enemies, while others may be less beneficial. For example, Corrosive Damage Corrosive procs are valued highly against heavily armored foes, but Magnetic Damage Magnetic procs have no benefit to enemies that lack shields.

The chance that a proc will occur can be directly increased with mods such as Rifle Aptitude 12?cb=20190608095452 Rifle Aptitude. One can also increase the number of projectiles fired through multishot mods such as Split Chamber Split Chamber; this effectively increases the opportunities for an enemy to be procced per a given attack, and is reflected in the weapon's attributes box in the Arsenal screen, but does not change the status chance for each individual hit. Another indirect way of increasing the amount of procs is to increase fire rate, this also doesn't change the likelihood that a proc will occur per hit, but increases the number of possible procs in a given time frame.

When a weapon achieves a status chance higher than 100%, each hit may apply additional status effects. The type of each proc is independently drawn, so it is possible to apply the same status several times in one hit.

Damage Distribution[]

Damage procs will occur in proportion to the amount of base damage dealt by each of the present damage types on the weapon. For example, an unmodded Strun Strun's highest physical damage type is Impact Damage Impact, thus it inflicts mostly knockback procs.

Increasing the physical or elemental damage of a weapon does not increase the duration of the associated proc (e.g. enemies won't be confused longer if Radiation Damage Radiation damage is increased).

When a hit procs, the chance for an individual damage type to proc in relation to the others is:

$Proc Type Chance = Damage \div Total Damage$

For example, if a weapon's damage is composed of 20 Impact Damage Impact, 5 Puncture Damage Puncture, 10 Slash Damage Slash, 25 Heat Damage Heat, and 50 Corrosive Damage Corrosive, then its total damage is 20 + 5 + 10 + 25 + 50 = 110. Therefore, the chance for the individual damage types to proc will be:

	Impact	Puncture	Slash	Heat	Corrosive
Damage	20	5	10	25	50
Proc Type Chance	18.18%	4.55%	9.09%	22.73%	45.45%

Status Immunity Interactions[]

Proc type chances are not altered by enemy resistances or weaknesses to the damage components used in their computation; however, they are modified by enemy status immunities. When an attack procs a status effect on an enemy which is immune to a particular proc type, the respective damage type is excluded from proc type chance calculations for status effects on that enemy.

For example, if the weapon outlined above were used against an enemy with Corrosion status immunity (regardless of whether that enemy is also immune to Corrosive Damage Corrosive damage), the chances for the individual damage types to proc would change to the following values:

	Impact	Puncture	Slash	Heat	Corrosive
Damage	20	5	10	25	50
Proc Type Chance	33.33%	8.33%	16.67%	41.67%	N/A

Damage Scaling[]

If the initial hit is affected by the following, a resulting, damage-dealing effect will also benefit accordingly:

Damage Buffs and relevant Mods
- This includes for example total damage multipliers like Furious Javelin Furious Javelin or Eclipse Eclipse, additive damage bonuses like Serration Serration or Vex Armor Vex Armor, and enemy debuffs like Molecular Prime Molecular Prime and Rest & Rage Rest & Rage. However, weakspots generated by Sonar Sonar or Detect Vulnerability Detect Vulnerability only increase the initial hit, not the resulting proc damage.
Critical Hits and Stealth Damage Bonus
Melee Combo Counter and Sniper Combo Counter
Body part multipliers
Faction Damage mods and Roar Roar
- Due to the nature of Faction Damage bonuses, they are applied once more during the calculation of damaging status effects, even though they already affect the initial hit. For example, for a weapon with an innate 100 damage modded with Serration Serration and Bane of Grineer Bane of Grineer, a Slash Damage Slash proc will deal the following damage per tick:

Bleed per tick = 100 × (1 + Serration 1.65) × 0.35 × (1 + Bane of Grineer 0.3) ^2 = 156.7475

Status Duration[]

“It's taking longer than I calculated.”

This page is actively being worked on and may not be completely correct. Please assist in making this page accurate.

Table is outdated.

Status effects have a duration over which they apply to their target, and some of them even deal damage over time. A status effect's duration can be increased or decreased with mods that affect status duration (e.g. Lasting Sting 12?cb=20190608095452 Lasting Sting).

Damage-dealing status effects will benefit from modifiers on headshots and critical hits.

Damage duration can be negative (over -100% duration through Riven Mods). This causes all proc effects which have a duration or deal damage over time to be nullified. All instant procs or those who deal instant damage occur. The collapsed table shows this in more detail:

Negative duration effects ▾▾

Damage Type	Nullified Effect	Occurs Normally
Impact Damage Impact	Stagger	-
Puncture Damage Puncture	Weakened	-
Slash Damage Slash	Bleed	-
Cold Damage Cold	Freeze	-
Electricity Damage Electricity	Stun	Tesla Chain
Heat Damage Heat	Ignite	Panic animation occurs (but no flame)
Toxin Damage Toxin	Poison	-
Blast Damage Blast	Inaccuracy	-
Corrosive Damage Corrosive	Corrosion	-
Gas Damage Gas	Toxin Cloud	-
Magnetic Damage Magnetic	Increased shield damage	Visual effects
Radiation Damage Radiation	Confusion	-
Viral Damage Viral	Increased health damage	Visual effects

Note: The information above is based on this forum post from EDFScout and may need further confirmation. Non-consistent observations as mentioned in the post have been changed to the more likely effect, i.e. for impact stagger should not appear, but knockback, and for electricity stun should not be triggered.

Damage Over Time[]

Status effects that deal damage over time will have a base duration of 6 seconds, during which they will deal a tick of damage for every second that the effect is active. AoE status effects, such as Electricity Damage Electricity and Gas Damage Gas will always start dealing damage ticks the moment it is procced on an enemy. Single target status effects will have a 1 second delay before dealing their damage ticks. The table below illustrates this mechanic.

Damage Tick and Proc Duration
Time From Initial Proc		0s	1s	2s	3s	4s	5s	6s
Damage Tick Occurred?	Slash Damage Slash	❌	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️
	Heat Damage Heat	❌	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️
	Toxin Damage Toxin	❌	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️
	Electricity Damage Electricity	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	❌
	Gas Damage Gas	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	❌

Multishot[]

When firing multiple pellets in a single attack, the status chance on a listed weapon in the Arsenal is the probability that each pellet will individually proc. For example, the Strun Wraith Strun Wraith displays a 12% status chance, so each of its ten pellets has a 12% chance to individually proc.

Average Procs[]

When you might apply more than one kind of status effect, or the applied effect is one which benefits from multiple applications in the same shot (e.g. Corrosive Damage Corrosive procs), it is helpful to know the average quantity of status effects triggered per shot (i.e. from a single click of the fire button). This value can be determined with the following formula:

$Average Amount per Shot = Multishot \times Chance per Pellet$

A table with example values to display the relation of status chance and multishot.

	Arsenal Status Chance
	150%	100%	99%	80%	150%	100%	99%	80%
Multishot	Chance per Pellet/Projectile				Average Procs per Shot
1.9 (using Split Chamber SC)	150%	100%	99%	80%	2.85	1.9	1.88	1.52
3 (e.g.Exergis Exergis)	150%	100%	99%	80%	4.5	3	2.97	2.4
5 (e.g.Sobek Sobek)	150%	100%	99%	80%	7.5	5	4.95	4
10 (e.g.Strun Wraith Strun Wraith)	150%	100%	99%	80%	15	10	9.9	8
20	150%	100%	99%	80%	30	20	19.8	16

Continuous Weapons[]

Despite continuous weapons firing only one beam after adding multishot (with damage instances merged), it will still proc status effects as if more than one projectile was visually present. This means that multishot benefits the average status chance of continuous weapons like any other weapon.

Status Mods[]

Status chance mods affect the base status chance of the weapon, i.e. the status chance value displayed in the Codex that is the probability, for the unmodded weapon, that each projectile will inflict a status effect.

Status Immunity[]

Players can achieve temporary total status immunity by equipping the below mods or using these abilities. For immunity towards individual status effects, please navigate towards the respective damage type page.

Note that sources of invulnerability also protect against status effects.

ENERGY: 0 KEY 4	Blade Storm Project fierce shadow clones of Ash upon groups of distant enemies. Join the fray using Teleport. Energy per Mark: 12 Energy per Mark (while invisible): 6	Strength:750 / 1000 / 1500 / 2000 (True Damage True damage)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:50 m
		Misc:3 (number of hits per mark) 2 (number of Shadow Clones)

Ash toggles a state of intense focus as he searches for targets to assassinate. During targeting mode, enemies within 50 meters from Ash that are seen near the aiming reticle become highlighted and tagged with a death mark above their head.
- Marking enemies drains 12 energy each, or 6 energy while Ash is invisible (e.g. using Smoke Screen Smoke Screen).
  - Energy cost per mark is affected by Ability Efficiency.
- Target acquisition range is affected by Ability Range.
  - Leaving this range while targeting will unmark enemies and refund the energy.
When 1 or more enemies are marked, reactivating the ability will create 2 Shadow Clones that teleport to each marked enemy, striking them with 3 Finisher attacks that inflict 750 / 1000 / 1500 / 2000 True Damage True damage per hit with a 100% Bleed chance.
- Damage is affected by Ability Strength, Steel Charge Steel Charge, Savage Silence Savage Silence, Radiant Finish Radiant Finish, Arcane Fury Arcane Fury, Arcane Blade Charger Arcane Blade Charger, Combo Counter multipliers, and Viral Damage Viral status.
  - Blade Storm gains 25% additional damage for each combo multiplier, up to a 3.75x damage multiplier at 12x combo, or 4.0x with Venka Prime Venka Prime equipped at 13x combo.
  - Melee mods do not increase damage, including Finishing Touch Finishing Touch and Covert Lethality Covert Lethality.
  - Melee mods that affect the combo counter and attack speed will benefit blade storm.
    - Weapons that modify the combo meter also apply, including the bonus initial combo count passives for Furax Wraith Furax Wraith (20), Synoid Heliocor Synoid Heliocor (20), Fragor Prime Fragor Prime (30), and Venka Prime Venka Prime's increased combo cap.
    - Animation speed is affected by attack speed mods (e.g. Fury Fury) up to the Finisher cap of +50%.
      - Buffs such as Speed Speed, Warcry Warcry and Arcane Strike Arcane Strike will only buff Ash's Animation speed when he joins blade storm via Teleport Teleport, and not the clone's.
      - Animation speed is not affected by the base weapon's attack speed, Berserker Fury Berserker Fury, or casting speed mods (e.g., Natural Talent Natural Talent).
  - Arcane Arachne Arcane Arachne does not increase damage.
- The Bleed's DoT inflicts 43.75% of the initial damage per tick for a total of 9 ticks over 9 seconds. The Bleed damage bypasses armor.
  - Direct hit damage therefore accounts for only 20% of Blade Storm's total damage.
- Total Direct hit Damage (not Bleed's DoT) is further multiplied by Excalibur Excalibur's Radiant Finish Radiant Finish and Banshee Banshee's Savage Silence Savage Silence. (eg. with 100% strength: 2,000 × (1 + Radiant Finish 300%) = 8,000)
- Strikes from Ash and his clones add to the melee combo counter.
  - Strikes from the Shadow Clones add 1 hit per enemy (4 with Rising Storm Rising Storm)
  - Combo gain is affected by combo gain Quickening mods and Exodia Triumph arcanes, but not Relentless Combination Relentless Combination.
- The combo counter will reset when equipped with Xoris Xoris.
- Enemies that die to Direct Hits (not Bleed's DoT) will activate Arcane Trickery Arcane Trickery, Arcane Ultimatum Arcane Ultimatum, and Exodia Might Exodia Might.
Reactivating Blade Storm with no marks will toggle off targeting mode instead.
- While in targeting mode, Ash emits black smoke and his vision darkens.
- Blade Storm has no casting animations, so Ash can still perform all other functions normally such as maneuvering, casting other abilities, and firing or reloading weapons.
- Ash cannot re-enter targeting mode while his Shadow Clones are attacking marked enemies.
Ability Synergy:
- Invisibility by means of Smoke Screen Smoke Screen or other allied abilities will half the energy cost of Blade Storm from 12 to 6 per mark.
- While Blade Storm is attacking, Teleport Teleport can be casted on a marked enemy at no energy cost to including Ash in the assault. Ash becomes invulnerable for the duration as he teleports and strikes all remaining marked enemies in a cinematic sequence.
  - While joining Blade Storm costs no energy, Ash must have enough energy to cast Teleport to join.
  - Strikes by Ash deal the same damage as his clones, but will attack enemies not targeted his clones. He consumes marks, and effectively accelerates the assault.
  - Ash can regenerate his shields during the animation.

Main article: Rising Storm

Rising Storm is an Ash Ash Warframe Augment Mod that allows the clones generated by Blade Storm Blade Storm to contribute additional hits to the Melee Combo Counter, as well as increases the duration the Melee Combo Counter lasts.

Rank	Bonus Hits per Attack	Bonus Combo Duration	Cost
0	1	10s	6
1	2	10s	7
2	3	10s	8
3	4	10s	9

Blade Storm can be activated while zooming in with a ranged weapon. This can be used to more precisely pick targets.
You are invincible while using Blade Storm Blade Storm. This can be used to give time to regenerate your shields.
Blade Storm Blade Storm can be used to pick up items that are very far away or in dangerous situations (an item surrounded by 5 enemies for example). This generally requires a sentinel's Vacuum Vacuum skill for maximum effectiveness. Simply target an enemy near something you want to pick up and activate the ability. Since you return to your starting point you will return to your "safe spot" but will have picked up health orbs, energy orbs, resources, and even mods.
Blade Storm can be used to start long melee combo chains to gain additional bonus melee damage.
- This synergizes well with builds centered around Blood Rush Blood Rush, Weeping Wounds Weeping Wounds, and Gladiator Mods.
Blade Storm can be empowered by performing melee combo chains before casting, as the ability's damage benefits greatly from the bonus melee damage multiplier.
Since Blade Storm deals True Damage True damage, the ability is well suited to dealing with Conculysts and Battalysts.
Ash's second ability, Smoke Screen Smoke Screen, synergizes well with this ability, reducing both the energy cost per mark and Ash's vulnerability when marking enemies.
- Similarly, Arcane Trickery Arcane Trickery also synergizes well, since it can be triggered by Blade Storm and reduces the cost per mark.
Blade Storm allows Ash to easily trigger Arcane Ultimatum Arcane Ultimatum, giving him a boost in survivability.
Blade Storm finishers also trigger Exodia Might Exodia Might with Zaws, allowing substantial health regeneration without the use of Life Strike Life Strike.
Considering Blade Storm has a 100% chance to proc Bleed, dealing 43.75% of the base damage 10 times in 9 seconds, the ability actually does $2,000 + ((2,000\times0.4375)\times10) = 10,750$ damage in 9 seconds, making it one of the most powerful abilities in the game if modded and used accordingly.
If used during sliding, Blade Storm seems to use a shorter version of finishing animations, which reduces total animation time.
Blade Storm benefits greatly from the effects of Body Count Body Count, Drifting Contact Drifting Contact, and Gladiator Rush Gladiator Rush. Instead of having a 3 second delay before the combo counter disappears, the delay will be 3+12+10+6 = 31 seconds.
- Using the Rising Storm Rising Storm augment will further increase the delay.
Since Ash only spawns 2 Shadow Clones, it's highly suggested to equip attack speed mods as the time needed for the Shadow Clones' animations can make gameplay sluggish, especially if a large amount of enemies are marked.
Joining Blade Storm has multiple benefits for Ash:
- Becoming invulnerable allows Ash to ignore status effects, such as Toxin Damage Toxin, and regenerate his shields.
- The rate in which attacks are dealt is increased as there will be 3 attackers instead of 2.
- The amount of hits added to the combo counter from the ability will be higher than if Ash were to not join.
Using Teleport on an unmarked enemy while Ash's Shadow Clones are attacking marked ones will result in the unmarked enemy being marked without consuming any energy. Ash will then join Blade Storm until all marks are expended.
- Enemies attacked by Blade Storm this way are only attacked once.

On certain unspecific occasions Ash will become invulnerable after using Blade Storm. It should also be noted that Blade Storm can cause lag commonly.

Very rarely, after using Blade Storm, Ash will float and become invincible. He is unable to jump or fall down, use melee weapons (or primaries/secondaries in some cases), or use Blade Storm again. Pressing E will teleport to a random enemy and perform a purely aesthetic Blade Storm attack which does no damage. This appears to occur when Blade Storm's initial target is killed before Blade Storm begins.

On some occasions (most likely related to latency), Ash will remain vulnerable whilst being unable to exit this bugged state without getting killed (as in, actually dying and using a revive charge, as revived by a teammate will not end this glitch).
This may occur when the initial target for Blade Storm is killed (by another player/procs) during the teleporting animation, causing Ash to teleport to his casting location, and initiate this bug.
To deactivate the bug, Ash can prompt a "falling out of level" event by power wall climbing to the sky if there is a wall in the map that allows him to. This will respawn Ash to a random location on the ground and deactivate the bug.

Very Rarely, when Ash finishes using Blade Storm he will appear at the location where he used it with 0 Health, unable to move, unable to use weapons, and unable to be damaged by enemies. Any on screen prompts that occur, such as Defense and Interception wave prompts, will not be presented to Ash in this state. Ash cannot be revived as he isn't considered down despite the fact that he has 0 health. The only way to fix this bug is to wait for the mission to end or leave the mission.

If wielding a melee weapon when cast, Blade Storm will occasionally perform Finisher attacks on enemies. This does not occur if the player is hosting.

Occasionally, Ash will fall out of the map after using Blade Storm, where he will either teleport back to the original casting position or die.

If Blade Storm is cast and Ash's holograms seek out a led target, they will attack the target indefinitely until either the Mind Controlled target dies or its duration expires.

Attempting to use Blade Storm against another player when fighting in the Dojo will cause Ash to become invincible and hover in the air. In this state, Ash can only move and use firearms.

When Ash has no melee weapon equipped, it is possible in some cases for Ash to attain an unmodded Skana after using Bladestorm. This Skana is not listed in the end of mission screen, nor in the in-game gear list, and is lost upon dying or completion of the mission.

ENERGY: 25 KEY 1	Slash Dash Dash between enemies while slashing with the Exalted Blade.	Strength:100 / 125 / 200 / 250
		Duration:N/A
		Range:6 / 8 / 10 / 12 m

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 Damage Impact, 15% Puncture Damage Puncture, and 70% Slash Damage 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 Pressure Point, Shocking Touch Shocking Touch and Intensify Intensify, a rank-3 Slash Dash will deal
  $Base Damage \times (1 + Damage Mods) \times (1 + Elemental Mod) \times (1 + Strength Mods) =$
  $250 \times (1 + 1.2) \times (1 + 0.9) \times (1 + 0.3) = 1,358.5$ damage.
- The mod stats that affect Slash Dash include:
  - damage (e.g., Steel Charge Steel Charge)
  - physical (e.g., Jagged Edge Jagged Edge)
  - elemental (e.g., Molten Impact Molten Impact)
  - weapon augments (e.g., Justice Blades 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 Condition Overload, or Acolyte Mods.
  - The only exceptions to this rule are:
    - Venka Prime Venka Prime's modified Melee Combo Counter.
- Mods equipped on Exalted Blade (Weapon) Exalted Blade do not affect Slash Dash unless it is active.
- Slash Dash's damage composition is not affected by Chromatic Blade 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 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 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.
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.
Ability Synergy:
- When Exalted Blade Exalted Blade is active, Slash Dash gains the following benefits:
  - Slash Dash will receive a 10% bonus to its base damage from Excalibur's passive as Exalted Blade Exalted Blade is considered a longsword.
  - Slash Dash hits will add to Exalted Blade's Melee Combo Counter.
  - Exalted Blade Exalted Blade will release an energy wave when an enemy is hit by Slash Dash.
    - The waves behave identically to those from normal swings of Exalted Blade Exalted Blade.

Main article: Purging Slash

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

Rank	Debuffs removed	% max shields restored	Cost
0	1	25%	6
1	2	50%	7
2	3	75%	8
3	4	100%	9

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.

It is possible to get stuck on an enemy during the duration of the ability, and in most cases the enemy will not take damage.

ENERGY: 100 KEY 4	Covenant Protect nearby allies with an energy force that absorbs all damage and converts it to a Critical Chance bonus for all those under the Covenant. Headshots are amplified even further.	Strength:1.50% (critical per 100 damage)
		Duration:3 / 4 / 5 / 6 s (invulnerability time) 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 s (critical chance time)
		Range:N/A
		Misc:4.0x (headshot multiplier to bonus critical chance) 50/250 m (affinity range/open-world affinity range)

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 is a flat value applied after mods.
    - As Example: A weapon with 10% base critical chance which has a Rank 5 Point Strike Point Strike equipped and is affected by a capped Retaliation buff will have
      $10% \times (1 + Point Strike 150%) + 200% = 225%$ critical chance on headshot.
  - Critical chance is also applied to melee weapons, weapon deployables (Zenistar Zenistar disc, Orvius Orvius channel throw, etc.), and Exalted weapons (Excalibur Excalibur's Exalted Blade Exalted Blade, Ivara Ivara's Artemis Bow 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 Natural Talent and Speed Drift 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 Harrow that increases Covenant Covenant's critical chance buff duration each time an enemy is killed with a headshot.

Rank	Duration Increase	Cost
0	1s	6
1	1.5s	7
2	2s	8
3	3s	9

It synergizes well with abilities that buff critical damage, such as Electric Shield Electric Shield and Sonar Sonar.
Also pairs well with the Dual Toxocyst Dual Toxocyst since they are at their optimal power when you are getting headshots.
Since the critical chance applied is additive, this ability can turn a Nukor Nukor modded with Primed Target Cracker Primed Target Cracker (and possibly other critical damage mods such as a Riven) into a viable critical secondary.
Stacks with Arcane Avenger Arcane Avenger, resulting in an additive +95% critical chance on bodyshot and +245% on headshot with both effects maxed.
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 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 Lasting Covenant augmentation.

ENERGY: 15 KEY 3	Undertow Become a water trap and drown unsuspecting enemies. Energy Drain: 6 s^-1 Grab Cost: 5 Meters per Energy: 0.2 m	Strength:10 / 15 / 20 / 25 (Impact Damage Impact dmg/sec) 1 / 1.5 / 1.7 / 2 % (dmg increase/sec)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:1.5 / 2.5 / 3 / 4 m (puddle size) 10 / 12 / 13 / 15 m (grab range)
		Misc:50% (Tidal Surge travel distance) 200% (Tentacle Swarm damage bonus)

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 Impact damage per second; drowning enemies also receive 1% / 1.5% / 1.7% / 2% of their maximum health as Impact Damage 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: $Modified Range = Base Range \times Ability Range 0.5$
- Casting speed is affected by Natural Talent Natural Talent and Speed Drift 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 an additional +0.1% damage growth per second for each enemy in the pool.
  - Unaffected by Ability Strength
- 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 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 Energy Siphon and other energy restoring effects are deactivated while Undertow is channeled. However, Arcane Energize 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 Tempest Barrage can damage submerged enemies within Undertow. Corroding Barrage Corroding Barrage can also proc Corrosive Damage Corrosive on submerged enemies.
- Tidal Surge 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 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 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 Undertow to heal Hydroid 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.

Rank	Effect	Cost
0	15%	6
1	20%	7
2	25%	8
3	30%	9

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 Tempest Barrage and Tentacle Swarm 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 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.

At times a miniature Hydroid and his sentinel can be seen on the pool.

When this bug occurs enemies will begin throwing grenades at the player and will be able to injure the player.
This bug can also rarely occur on PS4, however instead of appearing tiny you will see Hydroid's head and shoulders clip through the floor at their normal size (only when moving).
If Battalyst and Manic Bombard do not die after 1 minute, they are freed from Undertow.

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 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.

ENERGY: 50 KEY 2	Devour Hold power to trap target in quicksand and draw them in for devouring; this steals health and ultimately creates a friendly Sand Shadow.	Strength:50-100 / 100-200 / 150-300 / 250-500 (True Damage True damage per second)
		Duration:15 / 20 / 25 / 30 s
		Range:20 / 30 / 40 / 50 m (cast and tether range)
		Misc:2 s (damage ramp-up) 10 (damage ticks per second) ≥ 15 s (Sand Shadow duration) Heals 400 health per second

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 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 Damage Cold procs and Molecular Prime 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 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 Natural Talent and Speed Drift 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.

If consumes a Boiler, the Boiler will become a Sand Shadow as normal, and the spawn pods created when it dies will not spawn allied units while the Shadow's will. Similarly, Brood Mother Sand Shadows will spawn friendly maggots on death.

Inaros may become stuck in the devour animation, unable to move or cancel the ability until the enemy is killed. Pressing escape will force the player out of the animation although this is exploitable, as you will continue to gain health from the enemy and you can use high powered weapons to kill the enemy, guaranteeing that a Sand Shadow will form.

Purifying himself from all ailments, Lavos Lavos cleanses all active negative Status Effects and gains status immunity for 10 seconds upon collecting an Energy or Universal Orb. Lavos can only collect a single Energy or Universal Orb every 5 seconds.

Passive values is not affected by Mods.
Buff duration is renewed to full upon collecting a new orb.
Valence Block buff icon and timer are shown beside Lavos' shield and health indicators.
While activated, three serpent-like energy particle effects encircle Lavos' body.
If Lavos is injured with missing health, Universal Orbs are collectible to heal him with no cooldown period in between.
When Lavos' Companion is equipped with Synth Fiber Synth Fiber, all nearby Health, Energy and Universal Orbs will be collected, bypassing Lavos' innate orb pickup cooldown entirely.

Stats and Modding[]

Lavos Lavos has no energy capacity and his abilities do not use any resource to activate. Instead, each of his abilities are free to cast with a cooldown in between uses. The Ability Efficiency stat will instead affect the cooldown reduction effect from Transmutation Probe Transmutation Probe.

Mods which convert energy spent on abilities to shields, such as Brief Respite Brief Respite or the Augur Mod Set, do not replenish shields.
Because Lavos can still pick up energy orbs, mods or arcanes that benefit from picking up energy, such as Equilibrium Equilibrium, Energy Conversion Energy Conversion, and Arcane Energize Arcane Energize, still function.
Subsumed abilities injected into Lavos via the Helminth system will cost 0 energy, but instead incur a 10 second cooldown after cast and disable the elemental imbuement hold-function (see below) associated with the ability button.
- On non-recastable abilities (e.g. Roar Roar), the cooldown begins after the ability's duration expires, unless modded with an augment that allows it to be recastable (e.g. Piercing Roar Piercing Roar).
- On channeled abilities (e.g. Gloom Gloom), they instead have a 12 second base duration, affected by Ability Duration.

The Ability Duration stat will also affect the Status Duration stat uniquely innate to Lavos, which extends or shortens the duration of all status effects created by Lavos using his weapons and abilities.

Lavos also possesses a Rank Up Bonus on his Armor stat, yielding +50% at Warframe Rank 30.

Elemental Imbuement[]

Experiment and unleash volatile mixtures of the deadly elements. Hold down one of the four ability buttons (default 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ) to imbue a Primary Elemental damage type (Toxin Damage Toxin, Cold Damage Cold, Electricity Damage Electricity, and Heat Damage Heat respectively) into the mixing vial displayed above Lavos' ability icons. Imbuement has no cost nor cooldown between uses.

Elemental imbuement is available by default to Lavos at Warframe Rank 0 without requiring his abilities to be fully unlocked.
Primary Elements are shown in the four smaller diamond-shaped icons below the mixing vial. When an ability button is held down, its diamond icon is briefly highlighted until the element is mixed in.
Combine with a different element to produce a Secondary Elemental damage type: Blast Damage Blast (2 +4 ), Corrosive Damage Corrosive (1 +3 ), Gas Damage Gas (1 +4 ), Magnetic Damage Magnetic (2 +3 ), Radiation Damage Radiation (3 +4 ), and Viral Damage Viral (1 +2 ).
- Inputs can be in any order, or the hotkeys can be held down together to instantly produce a Secondary Elemental damage type.
The Imbued Primary or Secondary Element is shown in the vial with a colorcoded emblem and plays a unique sound effect upon mixing.
With an element in the mixing vial, Lavos' next ability cast drains the vial to add the Primary or Secondary Elemental damage type, onto the chosen ability dealing an extra instance of damage and status proc.
- The same Primary Elemental damage type can be imbued onto an ability that already inflicts that damage type (e.g. Ophidian Bite Ophidian Bite imbued with Toxin Damage Toxin, Vial Rush Vial Rush imbued with Cold Damage Cold, etc) to double the damage and status proc.
- Imbued Primary Elemental damage types do not merge with the ability's innate damage type.
- Non-damaging status effects inflicted by all of Lavos' abilities (Cold Damage Cold, Blast Damage Blast, Corrosive Damage Corrosive, Magnetic Damage Magnetic, Radiation Damage Radiation, and Viral Damage Viral) will proc 3 stacks in a single application of elemental status.
- Lavos' mixing vial is only cleared of its elemental contents upon imbuing an ability.
- Elements can be imbued even if Lavos cannot use the ability.
Imbuement is only available from Lavos' original abilities, therefore a subsumed ability replacement from the Helminth system will disable the associated element on the ability button.
- Imbuement also cannot be applied onto subsumed abilities.

ENERGY: 25 KEY 1	Fire Walker Blaze a trail of flames, scorching enemies and cleansing allies. Teleporting blasts the landing area with a ring of fire.	Strength:50 / 100 / 150 / 200 (Heat Damage Heat damage per tick) 500 / 750 / 1000 / 1250 (Heat Damage Heat explosion damage)
		Duration:15 / 20 / 25 / 30 s (buff duration) 5 / 6 / 7.5 / 10 s (flame duration)

Nezha will be cleansed of all status effects, and so will his allies that walk over the flames, which also grants them immunity to further effects as long as they stand on the fire patches left on the floor.
- Damage per tick is affected by Ability Strength.
- Speed buff duration and flame duration are affected by Ability Duration.
- Cast animation of ~0.5 seconds is affected by Natural Talent Natural Talent and Speed Drift Speed Drift.
- Speed bonus, damage interval, status chance, and status cleanse are not affected by mods.
- Flames can be formed in mid-air but only while Bullet Jumping. Falling will not leave behind any flames.
Ability Synergy: If Fire Walker is active when using Blazing Chakram Blazing Chakram's teleportation, Fire Walker will overheat at the destination and deal 500 / 750 / 1000 / 1250 Heat Damage Heat damage, with a 10% / 25% / 50% / ? Heat Damage Heat status chance, within a radius of 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 meters, as well as leaving a lingering ring of Fire Walker's flames for ? seconds.
- Explosion damage is affected by Ability Strength.
- Damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and diminishes with distance.
- Explosion radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Status chance and flame ring duration are not affected by mods.
- Fire Walker will stay active after teleporting.
Fire Walker can be cast while moving but will interrupt all other actions.
Can be recast while active to refresh its duration.
Subsuming Nezha to the Helminth will offer Fire Walker and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Main article: Pyroclastic Flow

Pyroclastic Flow is a Warframe Augment Mod for Nezha Nezha and Nezha Prime Nezha Prime that accumulates the damage Fire Walker Fire Walker deals and unleashes it in a trail of fire upon reactivating Fire Walker Fire Walker.

Rank	Damage Accumulation	Trail Duration	Cost
0	75%	6s	6
1	95%	7s	7
2	120%	8s	8
3	150%	10s	9

The 100% chance of the Heat Damage Heat status effect makes this an effective form of control for narrow hallways or choke points.
Quickly sliding into groups of enemies can reliably disable them.
The amount of ground that can be covered in flames can be improved using Sprint Speed mods.
Also works as an escape tool to prevent enemies from following you.
Can be used to cut off melee units from defense objectives.
Briefly tapping slide key allows for additional control over Nezha's momentum while maintaining the additional speed.
Choosing a dark energy color makes the visual effect less intrusive.

ENERGY: 75 KEY 3	Warding Halo Create a protective ring of fire, that also stuns and damage enemies who get too close.	Strength:500 / 650 / 800 / 1000 (base health) 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 (Slash Damage Slash damage per second) 1.15x / 1.25x / 1.75x / 2.50x (armor multiplier) 2.5x (absorption multiplier)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 m
		Misc:3 s (invulnerability duration)

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 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 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 Steel Fiber and Intensify Intensify, and one stack on Health Conversion Health Conversion, a rank-3 Warding Halo will have an initial health of $(1000 + (2.5 \times (450 + 190 \times (1 + 1.1)))) \times (1 + 0.3) = 4,059.25$ 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 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 Natural Talent and Speed Drift 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 Damage 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 Nezha that allows him to cast Warding Halo Warding Halo on allies, albeit with reduced durability.

Rank	Durability	Cost
0	20%	6
1	30%	7
2	40%	8
3	50%	9

Using Health Conversion 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.

ENERGY: 0 KEY 3	Parasitic Link Bind to a target with parasitic link. When cast on an ally, both the host and Nidus have their Ability Strength increased. Linked enemies take some of the damage inflicted on Nidus. Mutation Stacks Cost: 1	Strength:10% / 15% / 20% / 25% (strength bonus) 20% / 30% / 40% / 50% (damage redirection)
		Duration:30 / 35 / 45 / 60 s
		Range:24 / 28 / 34 / 40 m (ally link) 10 / 13 / 16 / 20 m (enemy link)

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 and damage 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, damage bonus, and damage redirection are affected by Ability Strength.
- Parasitic Link's Ability Strength bonus affects Ability Strength multiplicatively using the following expressions:
  $Modified Strength Bonus = Strength Bonus \times (1 + Ability Strength)$
  - With a maxed Intensify Intensify and the 15% Ability Strength rank bonus, Nidus will have 145% Ability Strength, resulting in $0.25 \times (1 + 0.3 + 0.15) = 36.25%$ Modified Strength Bonus displayed on the UI.
    $Modified Ability Strength = (1 + Ability Strength) \times (1 + Modified Strength Bonus)$
  - Modified Strength Bonus then increases Ability Strength multiplicatively, granting $1.45 \times (1 + 0.3625) = 197.5625%$ 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 bonus is multiplicative to other damage buffs.
- 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 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.

Link with a nearby teammate or enemy for to create two lines from Nidus and the linked target. This effectively extends Virulence's reach, doubles its damage output, staggers enemies in its paths, collects more hits for stacks, and earns extra energy for the cost of one cast.

Linking with a teammate creates a mobile casting point that can relocate quickly to find new enemies.
Linking with an enemy provides a stationary casting point that allows you move around to adjust Virulence's travel direction and length.
Use Virulence's range indicator by holding 1 to determine the number of targets both lines will hit before releasing the button to cast.

Teammates with Warframes that possess high ability damage and Ability Strength-based effects are prime candidates for Parasitic Link.

Alternatively, the Ability Strength bonus allows allies to use more balanced builds instead of builds that focus solely on Ability Strength.

Enemies with high health and armor values such as Heavy Gunners can absorb a large amount of damage transferred from Nidus.

As long as Nidus and his target are in range of each other, Parasitic Link's biochemical tether will help you visually track your positions.

Before reviving a downed teammate, link with a nearby enemy to protect yourself from taking too much damage.

Linking with an enemy caught by causes it to become immune to damage from outside sources, which may hinder your crowd control ability because Larva will go through its full duration before you can recast it. Press 3 to manually deactivate the link, allowing you and your allies to kill the enemy to end Larva early for recast.

This immunity to damage can be beneficial for racking up the melee combo counter. Simply attack the target as many time as possible. Combine with combo mods like Blood Rush Blood Rush for best results.

Maggots from will ignore your linked enemy target. However, maggot explosions will still count as hits for the Mutation gauge even when they cannot damage the target. When you cast Parasitic Link on an enemy with maggots attached, the maggots will detach once the link is established.

Parasitic Link can be cast on the Juggernaut, and though it will not immobilize the Juggernaut it will still transfer damage to it, bypassing the Juggernaut's normally-impenetrable armor.

Can be used to immobilize Synthesis target, instead of deploying Kinetic Siphon Trap. This also prevents the target from being killed, accidentally or not, provided Nidus himself is not under heavy fire.

Parasitic Link can transfer negative Conduit Effects given in Disruption. For example, Energy Drain will drop from 5 energy per second to 1. This reduces, but does not negate, the threat of negative effects from conduits, should one fail.

ENERGY: 25 KEY 4	Absorb Nyx absorbs all incoming damage and channels that collected energy into an explosive radial discharge. Energy Drain: 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 s^-1	Strength:160 / 170 / 180 / 200 (passive Magnetic Damage Magnetic damage gain) 800 / 900 / 1000 / 1500 (minimum Magnetic Damage Magnetic damage) 0.025% (damage converted to weapon damage bonus)
		Duration:8 s (Weapon Damage bonus)
		Range:5 / 7 / 8 / 10 m

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 Magnetic Damage Magnetic damage every second (e.g., an Absorb lasting 10 seconds will inflict a minimum of 2000 Magnetic Damage Magnetic damage at max rank). This threshold has a minimum damage potential of 800 / 900 / 1000 / 1500 Magnetic Damage Magnetic damage. If the total amount of absorbed damage is greater than the damage threshold when Nyx leaves her meditative state, all absorbed damage 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.
- 100% of all incoming damage can be absorbed.
  - Critical Hits have their critical damage multiplier doubled before being absorbed.
- Absorbed damage is not converted to Magnetic Damage Magnetic damage, and retains the original damage composition.
- 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 companions, 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 Energy Vampire, Rift Plane's innate energy regeneration, Squad Energy Restores, Energy Siphon Energy Siphon, Energizing Dash, Rage Rage, and/or Hunter Adrenaline 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 Arcane Energize and/or Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores while the ability is active.
Absorb converts into an additive weapon damage bonus that activates when the ability is released, lasting 8 seconds, or until the ability is used again.
- Damage from physical and elemental damage mods is not taken into account.
- This effect has an upper cap of 400% additive weapon damage (64,000 damage absorbed).
- Bonus is additive to Serration Serration, Hornet Strike Hornet Strike, and similar bonuses to the previous.
- 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 Arcane Agility) can trigger while under effects of Absorb.

Main article: Assimilate

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

Rank	Movement Speed	Cost
0	30%	6
1	40%	7
2	45%	8
3	50%	9

Main article: Singularity

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

Rank	Ring Pulse	Range	Cost
0	3s	9m	6
1	3s	11m	7
2	3s	13m	8
3	3s	15m	9

Allies can contribute to the damage absorbed, dramatically increasing damage output.
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.
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 (ex: Penta 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 Equilibrium in combination with Synth Deconstruct Synth Deconstruct and Synth Fiber Synth Fiber.

ENERGY: 50 KEY 2	Hallowed Ground Sanctifies the ground before Oberon with righteous fire, inflicting damage to any enemy that stands in the flames.	Strength:25 / 50 / 75 / 100 (Radiation Damage Radiation damage) 5 / 10 / 12 / 15% (status chance)
		Duration:10 / 15 / 17 / 20 s
		Range:90 / 100 / 120 / 180° (angle) 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 m (radius)

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 Radiation damage with a 5 / 10 / 12 / 15% Radiation Damage 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 Stretch, the radius will increase to
      $15 + 11.25 \times (1.45 - 1) = 20.0625$ meters.
  - The angle follows the expression Base Angle + 135° × (Ability Range - 1)
    - For example, with a maxed Stretch, the angle will increase to
      $180° + 135° \times (1.45 - 1) = 240.75°$ ).
    - 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 $15 + 11.25 \times (2.34 - 1) = 30.075$ 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 Damage Magnetic procs from Ancient Disruptors are resisted; however, Disruptors are still able to drain a small amount of energy with every attack.
- Radiation Damage 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 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 Steel Fiber and Intensify Intensify will have $(150 \times 2.1) + (200 \times 1.3) = 575$ armor).
  - Buff duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  - As Link Armor 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 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 Oberon. Upon casting Hallowed Ground 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 Damage Radiation proc. This mod also passively increases Hallowed Ground's duration.

Rank	Status Chance	Bonus Duration	Cost
0	30%	25%	6
1	50%	50%	7
2	70%	75%	8
3	100%	100%	9

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 Damage 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 Damage Radiation and Magnetic Damage Magnetic singularities in Sorties.

ENERGY: 50 KEY 2	Mesmer Skin Become enveloped in Sentient energy, which redirects damage and stuns all those who dare attack. Stunned enemies can be Enthralled at no energy cost.	Strength:3 / 4 / 5 / 6 (number of charges)
		Duration:2 / 3 / 4 / 5 s (stun duration)
		Range:N/A
		Misc:100% (reflected damage and status) 100% (Enthrall energy discount) 1 (ally buff charge)

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 Natural Talent and Speed Drift 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 Enthrall costs no energy to cast on an enemy stunned by Mesmer Skin.
- While Mesmer Skin is active, Reave 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.

It is probably more beneficial to focus on Ability Strength, Ability Duration and Ability Range, rather than equipping Health and Shield mods on as Mesmer Skin provides high survivability.

Damage dealt by Nullifier Crewman with its null sphere intact does not use up Mesmer Skin charges. Damage is still mitigated completely.

The remaining charge counter on the ability icon can sometimes disappear while the ability is still active, most prominently observed after performing Transference back into the Warframe.

Charges can be modified into decimals, but the ability icon counter only displays whole numbers, including 0 which can be misleading.

Damage exceeding Revenant's total hitpoints can bypass Mesmer Skin to instantly kill Revenant while this ability still has charges remaining.

When using or , even though damage is fully nullified, if the damage exceeds Revenant's shield value, energy will still be granted. Likely related to the previous point, thus, attempting such a build still runs the risk of instant death if the value of a single damage instance is too high.

ENERGY: 50 KEY 2	Iron Skin Rhino hardens his skin, insulating himself from all damage.	Strength:400 / 600 / 800 / 1200 (base health) ? / 1.25 / 1.75 / 2.50x (armor multiplier)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:N/A
		Misc:1.5 / 2 / 3 / 3 s (invulnerability duration)

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:
  $Modified Health = (Base Health + (Armor Multiplier \times Base Armor \times (1 + Armor Mods))) \times (1 + Ability Strength) + Absorbed Damage$ .
- 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 Steel Fiber and Intensify Intensify, a Rank 3 Iron Skin cast by Rhino will have an initial health of $(1200 + (2.5 \times 225 \times 2.1)) \times 1.3 = 3,095.625$ before absorbing damage.
- Modifying that equation for Rhino Prime:
  - With a maxed Steel Fiber Steel Fiber and Intensify Intensify, a Rank 3 Iron Skin cast by Rhino Prime will have an initial health of $(1200 + (2.5 \times 275 \times 2.1)) \times 1.3 = 3,436.875$ 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 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.
Damage resistance on Rhino, like Trinity's Blessing 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 Rhino Charge will have a 100% status chance for Blast Damage Blast effects.
For Rhino Prime 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 Rhino's Iron Skin 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 Puncture damage.

Rank	Damage	Proc Chance	Cost
0	40%	30%	6
1	60%	40%	7
2	80%	50%	8
3	100%	60%	9

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 Streamline or Fleeting Expertise 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 Rhino Charge with Ironclad Charge 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 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 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 Arcane Tanker can significantly provide armor boost, effectively increasing Iron Skin's health by roughly over 100%.

Migrating hosts will completely remove Iron skin, regardless of the level it was at.

If Rhino manages to activate Iron Skin as he falls backwards and enters bleedout, his bleedout timer will reach zero and he will never die. He will remain in bleedout until he is revived.

Procs from damage can knockdown the player even if Iron Skin is still active.

Using Iron Skin while in a conveyor would make Rhino immovable.

ENERGY: 25 KEY 1	Spellbind Enemies fumble their weapons as they tumble into the air. Nearby allies become immune to Status Effects. Hold the ability to cast the immunity onto Titania.	Strength:N/A
		Duration:10 / 12 / 14 / 16 s
		Range:1 / 3 / 3 / 5 m (area radius) 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 m (cast range)
		Misc:100 % (status cleanse and immunity)

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 centered on 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 Natural Talent and Speed Drift 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 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 Titania which lets her regain Energy when hitting at least 4 enemies with Spellbind Spellbind.

Rank	Energy granted	Cost
0	20	6
1	30	7
2	40	8
3	50	9

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.

ENERGY: 75 KEY 3	Link Any damage taken while Link is active will be channeled to a nearby enemy.	Strength:N/A
		Duration:6 / 8 / 10 / 12 s
		Range:12 / 14 / 17 / 20 m
		Misc:1 / 2 / 2 / 3 (affected enemies) 50% / 60% / 70% / 75% (damage reduction) 100% (damage and status transfer)

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 Natural Talent and Speed Drift 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 Damage 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 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 Trinity's Link Link that reduces the armor of all connected enemies.

Rank	Armor Reduction	Cost
0	25%	6
1	30%	7
2	35%	8
3	45%	9

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 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.

ENERGY: 25 KEY 4	Hysteria Valkyr is imbued with energy and becomes a ball of vicious rage, capable of unleashing a torrent of deadly claw attacks on unsuspecting foes. Minimum Energy Drain: 2.5 s^-1 Maximum Energy Drain: 15 s^-1	Strength:100 / 125 / 200 / 250 (damage)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:N/A
		Misc:1% / 2% / 4% / 5% (lifesteal) 5-20 m (aura radius)

Overcome with rage, Valkyr unleashes a pair of energy talons, the Valkyr Talons Valkyr Talons, as her melee Exalted Weapon. Normal attacks deal 100 / 125 / 200 / 250 damage within 2 meters.
- Damage is distributed evenly between Impact Damage Impact, Puncture Damage Puncture, and Slash Damage 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 Pressure Point, Shocking Touch Shocking Touch and Intensify Intensify, the normal attacks of a rank-3 Hysteria will deal
  $Base Damage \times (1 + Damage Mods) \times (1 + Elemental Mods) \times (1 + Strength Mods) =$
  $250 \times (1 + 1.2) \times (1 + 0.9) \times (1 + 0.3) = 1,358.5$ damage.
- The mods that can be equipped on and affect Valkyr Talons Valkyr Talons include:
  - damage (e.g., Steel Charge Steel Charge)
  - physical damage (e.g., Jagged Edge Jagged Edge)
  - elemental damage (e.g., Shocking Touch Shocking Touch)
  - faction (e.g., Smite Corpus Smite Corpus)
  - critical chance and damage (e.g., True Steel True Steel and Organ Shatter Organ Shatter)
  - Status chance (e.g., Melee Prowess Melee Prowess and Vicious Frost Vicious Frost)
  - attack speed (e.g., Fury Fury and Berserker Fury Berserker Fury)
  - range (e.g., Primed Reach Primed Reach)
  - Condition Overload Condition Overload
  - Drifting Contact Drifting Contact
  - Healing Return Healing Return
  - Relentless Combination Relentless Combination
  - Shattering Impact 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 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 Drifting Contact), Acolyte Mods (e.g., Blood Rush Blood Rush), or Amalgam Mods (e.g. Amalgam Organ Shatter Amalgam Organ Shatter).
- Riven Mods are not generated for Valkyr Talons.
- The combo counter will reset when equipped with Xoris 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.
  - The damage composition of a ground finisher is the same as a modified normal attack; however, Impact Damage Impact damage from ground finishers is multiplied by 125%.
  - The finisher multipliers for both attacks are affected by Finishing Touch 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 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 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 Energy Siphon, Zenurik's Energizing Dash, or Trinity's Energy Vampire Energy Vampire while Hysteria is active. However, Energy Orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, and/or Arcane Energize 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 Natural Talent.
- Despite being classified as its own weapon, Speed Holster 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 Valkyr and Valkyr Prime Valkyr Prime's signature Exalted Weapon that can only be used upon activating the ability Hysteria Hysteria. The weapon exclusively uses the Hysteria stance.

Main article: Hysteria (Stance)

Hysteria is a unique Stance exclusive to Valkyr Talons Valkyr Talons that can only be acquired and used by activating Valkyr Valkyr's fourth ability, Hysteria 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 Valkyr that allows her to pounce onto enemies while in Hysteria Hysteria by meleeing while aiming, dealing damage on contact. It also provides brief immunity when aiming a primary or secondary weapon.

Rank	Leap distance	Immunity duration when aiming	Cost
0	25m	0.5s	6
1	30m	0.5s	7
2	40m	0.5s	8
3	50m	0.5s	9

Main article: Enraged

Enraged is a Warframe Augment Mod for Valkyr Valkyr's Hysteria 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.

Rank	Damage & critical chance	Cost
0	+125%	6
1	+150%	7
2	+175%	8
3	+200%	9

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 Steel Charge over Growing Power 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 Power Drift will still add more damage than Coaction Drift 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 Paralysis ability.
- This finisher also knocks enemies down, allowing for a successive ground finisher for a quick burst of high damage.

Using Hysteria the moment you are downed by enemies will cause you to bug. Sometimes, you will only be able to use your actual melee weapon, but it will swing as though it is your claws; Other times you will be able to use your other weapons, and all while being invincible. You must wait until the effect ends for the bug to clear.

Attacks outside the vulnerability radius of Hysteria are still counted to the damage received in the Hysteria status, however these additional points do no effect at the end of the duration.

If only a melee weapon is equipped in the player's loadout, casting Hysteria while holding either a Codex or Synthesis Scanner will cause Hysteria's attacks to instead use the equipped melee's quick-attacks, while also rendering both combos and blocking unusable.

ENERGY: 50 KEY 3	Defy Wukong and his twin become invulnerable and defy enemies to attack. All damage is captured, stored, and dealt back in a single furious strike of Wukong's staff. Bonus Armor is then granted relative to the damage captured.	Strength:4 / 5 / 6 / 7.5 x (damage multiplier) 0.8 / 1 / 1.2 / 1.5 x (armor multiplier)
		Duration:2 s (invulnerability duration) 15 / 18 / 20 / 25 s (armor duration)
		Range:7 / 8 / 10 / 12 m (staff swing radius)
		Misc:-50 % (move speed penalty) 100 % (status cleanse on spin) 50 AP (min. armor bonus) 1,500 AP (armor bonus cap)

Info

Wukong engages a defiant stance while priming his Iron Staff 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 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.

Cleansing Status Effects[]

Status effects on the player can be removed by the following (note that it does not protect the player from getting new instances of status effects, with the exception of Rolling Guard 12?cb=20190608095452 Rolling Guard):

SHIELD: 150 KEY 2	Pillage Pillage a percentage of Shields and Armor of nearby enemies to replenish Hildryn's own Shields and Overshields.	Strength:10% / 15% / 20% / 25% (shield/armor drain per enemy)
		Duration:2 s (expansion duration)
		Range:5 m / 6 m / 7 m / 8 m (pulse initial radius)
		Misc:? / ? / 6 / 20 m/s (expansion distance per sec) 100% (status cleanse on cast)

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 ? / ? / 6 / 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 of shields and/or armor stolen from all pillaged enemies.
- Shield/armor drain per enemy is affected by Ability Strength.
  - Roar Roar, Magnetic Damage Magnetic procs, and enemy weakspots on the "chest" area will increase the shield strip, but not shield return or armor strip.
- 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.
  - For example, with 200% Ability Strength it takes 10 casts of Pillage on an enemy with 500 armor to completly strip it.
- 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 Natural Talent and Speed Drift 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 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 Inaros and Nidus Nidus.
- Other Warframes cannot make use of the Blazing Pillage Blazing Pillage augment, due to their inability to cast Haven Haven.

Main article: Blazing Pillage

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

Rank	Heat Damage Heat Damage	Shields restored	Cost
0	50	20	6
1	100	30	7
2	150	40	8
3	200	50	9

Similar to Molecular Prime 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 Corrosive Projection or Shield Disruption Shield Disruption is ill-advised as this ability relies on enemies having shields or armor.

ENERGY: 50 KEY 3	Reave Dash through enemies as a wall of Sentient energy, leeching shields and health from any encountered, enhanced for thralls. Energy Cost (Danse Macabre active): 25	Strength:2 / 4 / 6 / 8 % (hitpoints drain/restore) 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 % (thrall hitpoints drain/restore)
		Duration:0.25 / 0.5 / 0.75 / 1 s (duration)
		Range:3 / 4 / 5 / 6 m (current width)
		Misc:27 m/s (travel speed) 100 % (status effects transfer) 1 (Mesmer Skin ally buff charge)

Revenant transforms into a torrent of Sentient energy that surges forward toward the aiming reticle, at a speed of 27 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 Natural Talent and Speed Drift 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 Enthrall Enthralled enemies.
  - The drain percentage displayed in Abilities and the Upgrade screen display the Thrall-empowered drain.
- While Mesmer Skin 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 during Danse Macabre Danse Macabre. Casting speed becomes instantaneous. Danse Macabre's stopping animation can be skipped if deactivated during Reave.
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. Note that the UI's listed 40% damage is not applicable for non-revenant frames and instead deals 8% damage.

Main article: Blinding Reave

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

Rank	Duration	Cost
0	6s	6
1	7s	7
2	8s	8
3	10s	9

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.

ENERGY: 50 KEY 2	Molt Shedding her skin like a snake, Saryn leaves a decoy behind to draw fire from enemies.	Strength:150 / 300 / 400 / 500 (health) 240 / 300 / 350 / 400 (Toxin Damage Toxin explosion damage) 1.3 / 1.35 / 1.4 / 1.5 x (speed multiplier)
		Duration:14 / 24 / 32 / 40 s (decoy) 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5 s (speed buff)

		Misc:100 % (status cleanse on cast) 1.5 / 2 / 3 / 3 s (invuln. time) 400 (decoy shields) 100 % (Toxin Damage Toxin status chance) 1 (limit of molts)

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 Toxin damage with 100% Toxin Damage 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 Control Mind Controlled forms.
- Elemental augment mods, such as Ember Ember's Fireball Frenzy 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 Loki's Decoy 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 Saryn that allows her to regenerate health over a span of time after casting Molt Molt.

Rank	Health per Tick	Cost
0	20	6

2	40	8
3	50	9

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 they're using aggro-increasing abilities such as Nyx Nyx's Absorb Absorb or Rhino Rhino's Iron Skin
