'''Ven'kra Tel''' is a special [[Grineer]] [[Field Boss]] unit first introduced in [[Operation Gate Crash]] and now regularly encountered in [[Orokin Sabotage]] missions where Grineer are the dominant enemy. She, along with [[Sprag]], guard a [[Void Keys|Void Key]] necessary to close the Void Portal. She was later captured by [[Narmer]] and forced into their service.

<section end=venkraintro />
==Tactics==
 
* She has excellent mobility with her jet pack, even more so than Grineer Hellions. She has the ability to curl up in mid-air, then perform a horizontal [[Tail Wind]] that will knock players down.
 
**Although she is noted to be very skilled in doing this maneuver, she will often land on the ground disoriented for a moment afterwards if she is successful in knocking a player down.
 
*Ven'kra Tel will sometimes fly high into the air and direct a red laser beam at the player. This will summon [[Grineer]] reinforcements that will specifically target the player aimed that was aimed at.
 
* Both Sprag and Ven'kra Tel are immune to damage directed at any part of their bodies other than their jetpacks or heads.
 
* Neither Ven'kra or Sprag is immune to any kind of knockdown, whether from player abilities or from heavy melee weapons like the [[Scindo]] or [[Fragor]], both of which can cause them to ragdoll even when in flight.
 
* It is advisable to defeat [[Sprag]] first before Venk'ra Tel, as the latter's offensive powers are comparatively less than that of the former. Nonetheless, while Ven'kra Tel is less effective at melee range than Sprag, the Grineer reinforcements she can summon can make closing in the gap difficult.
 
** In later difficulties, it is very much recommended to dispatch Ven'kra Tel first, as she is capable of one-shotting any Warframes with ease.
 
* [[Sunika Kubrow|Sunika]] and [[Sahasa Kubrow |Sahasa]] [[Kubrow]]s with their respective finisher abilities [[Savagery]] and [[Ferocity]] enable them to strangle either Ven'kra or Sprag if caught, keeping them grounded and preventing them from moving and attacking. This allows for easy shots to the pair's jet packs.
 
* Inflicting a [[Radiation]] proc will turn the sisters on each other.  Sprag will usually win the fight and it makes the fight much easier to do.  Bring weapons with radiation builds or innate radiation weapons like the [[Detron]].

Update 32.1 (2022-11-02)

You will be led by pairs of my newest, most vicious clones. Go now, for the Queens!

Ven'kra Tel is a special Grineer Field Boss unit first introduced in Operation Gate Crash and now regularly encountered in Orokin Sabotage missions where Grineer are the dominant enemy. She, along with Sprag, guard a Void Key necessary to close the Void Portal. She was later captured by Narmer and forced into their service.

She possesses a blue jet pack identical to that used by Hellions that grants her excellent mobility, and can use her Avex and other ranged special abilities to engage Tenno from afar.


Behavior[]

  • Jetpack: Ven'kra Tel possesses high maneuverability with her jetpack, and can perform a maneuver akin to TailWind130xWhite Tail Wind that will knock players down.
  • Avex: Ven'kra Tel takes aim using her Avex.
  • Beacon Ven'kra Tel flies high into the air and direct a red laser beam at a Tenno. This will summon Grineer reinforcements that will specifically target the player it was aimed at.

Strategy[]

Orokin Sabotage[]

Ven'kra Tel teams up with Sprag, using her long ranged attacks to supplement the latter's close-ranged abilities. Both are immune to damage on their entire bodies, with weakpoints specifically limited to their heads and jetpacks.

Other than dealing damage while carefully managing against the two Grineer, there is little in the way of strategy to the overall battle.

Break Narmer[]

Ven'kra Tel appears alone as an optional miniboss in the Bolkor detour to the left. She can be found by following a short tunnel on the left side of the open arena, where you destroy 3 Immunonodes. Picking up the Avex near the entrance, which essentially functions like a Vulkar Vulkar with five rounds and a single 4.0x scoped zoom, triggers the fight. Ven'kra Tel attacks using long-ranged sniper shots of her own, and repositions herself while deploying explosive clusters if Kahl gets too close.

After depleting one of her three health bars, she becomes invulnerable and is protected by two cloaked Narmer Drones. Kahl must command his brothers to stand in separate dissipation fields to make her drones vulnerable. After depleting two health bars, she becomes vulnerable to Veilbreaker. Her veil removed, she flies off. Ven'kra Tel expresses disdain at being rescued by a mere trooper while warning him that she and Sprag retain their loyalty to the Queens.

Notes[]

  • Ven'kra often gives Sprag advice and tells her to have patience, and taunts the Tenno with menacing threats, suggesting that Ven'kra is the more experienced and intelligent of the pair.
  • Her jetpack is treated as a unique weakspot that takes equal damage when dealt to her head.
  • Ven'kra Tel, along with Sprag, cannot be Desecrate130xWhite Desecrated by NekrosIcon272 Nekros.

Trivia[]

  • Ven'kra Tel's Codex entry shows her wearing a green jet pack identical to that of the Frontier Hellions.
  • Prior to Update 32.1 (2022-11-02), Ven'kra Tel originally wielded a white Vulkar Vulkar.
  • Ven’kra Tel, along with her sister, might possibly have a relation to Vay Molta, for she is also said to be one of Vay Hek’s most vicious clones.
