Info

  • Hydroid expends 25 energy to mark a targeted location for orbital bombardment over unrestricted range, calling forth an artillery barrage-like salvo of water missiles from above to strike the marked area 3 / 5 / 8 / 10 meters in radius for 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 seconds. Water missiles launch from above in a salvo of 4 per second, with each missile exploding on impact dealing 150 / 175 / 225 / 300  Corrosive damage with a forced  Corrosive and  Stagger status effect to enemies within a 5 meters explosion radius.
    • Damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and does not diminish with distance.
    • The barrage will be centered on the spot where the reticle is pointing up to the first solid object within view. This allows Tempest Barrage to be cast at distant locations as long as one has line of sight. Note that it tends to fall short if cast through a door or gateway.
    • When cast on  Snow Globe it will not be able to strike through it, but when cast within it will fall through it normally.
  • Ability Synergy:
  • Tempest Barrage is a One-Handed Action that allows casting during movement, while midair, and on ziplines.
  • Can be recast while active to create multiple barrage instances.
  • Water missiles and their impact indicator circles are affected by Hydroid's chosen Warframe energy color.
  • Breaks containers and damages turrets/cameras.
  • Subsuming Hydroid to the Helminth will offer Tempest Barrage and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Tips & Tricks

  • Mod for Ability Range to increase the explosion radius of each water missile, allowing more enemies to be damaged and knocked down inside and around the barrage area.
  • Cast multiple barrages in different directions to lock down chokepoints from incoming enemies.
  • Combo with  Tentacle Swarm to keep enemies locked down in the blast area.
