Shockwave Mechanics[]
The shockwaves produced by the Tenet Exec are trigged by regular Slam Attacks and Heavy Slam Attacks. Additionally, each heavy blade stance will trigger a shockwave on the last hit of the forward block combo. Tempo Royale can also trigger a shockwave with the single hit block combo.
These shockwaves have several unique interactions, or lack thereof:
- Shockwaves travel in a line and stop at the first explosion that isn't on the ground at the same height, such as against walls, platform edges, and terrain elevation. If there are gaps between the initial slam and the explosions, it will not be interrupted.
- Maximum shockwave travel distance is 20m, and is not affected by Range mods such as
Reach.
- Maximum shockwave travel distance is 20m, and is not affected by Range mods such as
- Each shockwave produces 3 sequential instances of damage.
- Each instance of damage caused by a shockwave produced by a regular Slam Attack adds to Melee Combo points, and they benefit from Combo Count Chance mods like
Quickening and
True Punishment.
- Each instance of damage will proc on hit effects such as
Dispatch Overdrive,
Healing Return,
Life Strike and
Shattering Impact.
- Each instance of damage is affected normally by
Eclipse,
Roar,
Toxic Lash and
Xata's Whisper.
Vauban's Passive will apply to sequential shockwaves that hit an enemy in the ragdoll state caused by an initial shockwave.
Hall Of Mirrors clones copy the slam attacks, but not the shockwaves.
- Shockwaves are not considered projectiles, so
Magnetize and
Navigator do not work on it.
- The damage increase while inside
Magnetize's bubble applies normally, however.

Rage.
- Heavy Slam Attack shockwave damage is affected by the Melee Combo multiplier.

Pressure Point), IPS damage mods (
Heavy Trauma), elemental damage mods (

Kuva/Tenet Notes[]
- For weapons obtained from vanquishing the Kuva Lich or Sister:
- The player does not have to meet the Mastery Rank displayed to obtain this weapon. It can simply be claimed from the foundry after the Lich/Sister carrying it has been vanquished.
- The weapon will have a prefix of the name of the Lich/Sister it was acquired from (e.g. a Kuva Kohm might be called "Odizrigg Agekk Kuva Kohm").
- Refraining from Mercy killing a lich candidate will remove their weapon from the pool of potential lich weapons until each has been refused, but only if the mission is completed. Weapons rejected from aborted missions will remain in the current cycle.
- For weapons obtained from Ergo Glast's shop:
- The player must meet the Mastery Rank displayed to obtain this weapon, as it is claimed from an NPC shop rather than the foundry.
- The weapon's max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per Forma added).
- Additional polarizations can be added when the weapon reaches its new max rank at that polarization level.
- Each additional rank also gives 100 Mastery Rank experience, giving 4,000 points in total at level 40.
- Mod capacity scales with the additional ranks, and can reach a total of 80 at rank 40 with an Orokin Catalyst installed.
- Without an Orokin Catalyst, the max is 40. Combined with the five polarized mod slots required to reach that point, an Orokin Catalyst might not be required to finish modding the weapon.
- After polarizing a weapon, any additional mod capacity above 30 (60 with an Orokin Catalyst) will not take effect until the weapon's rank reaches 31 and above.
- Legendary Mastery Rank increases the minimum mod capacity for such weapons, without the weapon needing to be rank 31 and above. For example, Legendary 1 increases the minimum capacity to 31 (62 with an Orokin Catalyst).
- Comes with an additional damage stat.
- For Lich/Sister-obtained weapons this is dependent on the Warframe that summoned the Lich/Sister.
- For Ergo Glast shop a random bonus stat will be offered for each weapon and changed every 4 days (96 hours).
- This damage stat randomly ranges between 25%-60%. It can be upgraded up to its maximum value with Valence Fusion using another copy of the weapon.
- This bonus stat is considered a base damage type and will be applied after all elemental mods for the purposes of elemental combinations.
- Weapons with an innate primary element and a different primary element provided by the progenitor both behave as innate elements and combine with each other. They will also recombine with modded elements in the following order:
- Mod slot 1 -> Mod slot 2 -> ... -> Mod slot 8 -> Innate
Heat -> Innate
Cold -> Innate
Electricity -> Innate
Toxin
- Mod slot 1 -> Mod slot 2 -> ... -> Mod slot 8 -> Innate
Trivia[]
- The weapon's name, Exec, might be an abbreviation of a business "executive".
