Info

Reshaping the surrounding terrain, Atlas erects a Bulwark made of stone with a base health of 2850 / 3150 / 3450 / 3750 and additional health equal to 500% of Atlas' modded armor. Upon activation, the bulwark is invulnerable for 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 seconds. Incoming damage that is absorbed during the invulnerability period is converted and added to the bulwark's health.
- A bulwark's total health, before absorbing damage, is multiplicatively affected by Ability Strength.
  - The bulwark's health uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength:
    $Modified Health = (Base Health + 5 \times (Atlas' Base Armor \times (1 + Armor Mods)) \times (1 + Strength Mods) + Additive Armor) + Absorbed Damage$ .
  - For example, with a maxed Steel Fiber and Intensify, rank-3 Tectonics will produce a bulwark with an initial health of
    $(3750 + 5 \times 450 \times 2.1) \times (1 + 0.3) = 11,017.5$ before converting absorbed damage.
- While active, a health counter becomes visible on the ability icon that tracks the bulwark's health percentage from 100% to 0%. Placing the HUD's targeting reticle over the bulwark will also display its health bar.
- Atlas and his allies do not contribute to a bulwark's health gain by shooting it during the invulnerability period.
- Invulnerability duration is not affected by Ability Duration.
Reactivating the ability will cause the bulwark to compact into a Boulder that rolls towards the current direction of aim, dealing 150 / 300 / 450 / 600 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage per second to enemies that are dragged along its path. After rolling 15 meters or hitting an environmental object, the boulder will explode and inflict 250 / 300 / 350 / 500 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage to enemies within a radius of 3 / 3 / 4 / 5 meters.
- Rolling and explosion damage are affected by Ability Strength.
- Enemies affected by the rolling damage are ragdolled.
- The explosion damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and diminishes with distance.
- Explosion radius is affected by Ability Range, while roll distance is not.
Ability Synergy: Casting Petrify on the Bulwark hardens it into a Petrified Bulwark. Boulders created from Petrified Bulwarks gain 200% rolling velocity and have their rolling distance increased to 30 meters. They also inflict ?% bonus damage on rolling and explosion damage.
- Bulwarks and Boulders become silver-colored and metallic when petrified.
- As the 3 bulwarks created by Tectonic Fracture cannot become boulders, Petrify has no effect on them.
- Casting Petrify on a moving boulder will not grant it bonuses.
While the bulwark is capable of blocking most hostile gunfire, it does not provide cover from area of effect damage, including the explosive attacks of Grineer Bombards and Napalms.
Bulwarks and Boulders have collision detection for enemies only. Atlas and allies can move through Tectonics' objects unobstructed.
Enemies will attack the Bulwark if it obstructs their path. Though some enemies may simply run up against it.
Atlas can maintain only one bulwark at a time.
- Upon transforming the Bulwark into a Boulder, Tectonics can be recast immediately to create a new Bulwark.
The Bulwark will spawn on the same elevation as Atlas, but the bulwark does have gravity and will fall down if created in the air or without a surface directly underneath it.
Casting and reactivation duration of 1 second are affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.

Augment

Main article: Tectonic Fracture

Tectonic Fracture is a Warframe Augment Mod for Atlas that modifies Tectonics to allow additional simultaneous walls, but sacrifices the ability to turn them into offensive boulders.

Tectonic Fracture

Tips & Tricks

Can completely block off narrow enough areas or chokepoints from enemies without limiting the movement of allies.
The Boulder can be used to push down long corridors, but care should be taken when aiming as the Boulder will detonate when it hits a side wall or standing obstacle.
The Bulwark's cover can assist in reviving allies who have fallen to a frontal threat.
- Note that Bulwark's protection is less effective against enemy AoE attacks.
Enemies will not change their motion to sidestep a rolling Boulder. This makes the boulder very effective against lines of charging foes.

Maximization

This calculator feature is sunsetted on the wiki. It may not see further updates, but will be present on articles for the time being since some people still find use for them. See User blog:Cephalon Scientia/Sunsetting of Maximization Calculators for more details.
