Notes

• When maximum amount of cysts are active provided all set mods are used, provides +240% damage on the helminth charger.
• Strain Fever stacks additively with  Maul resulting in a 570% damage increase with the maximum effect from the cysts.
• As the Helminth Charger gains more cysts with Strain Fever equipped, it will also grow larger. Once the Helminth Charger has 8 active cysts provided all set mods are equipped, it becomes taller than any Warframe.
