Info
- Lavos charges forward in a sustained slide steerable with the left and right movement keys (default A , D ) for a distance of 30 meters, while his serpents rapidly throw out up to 14 / 17 / 20 / 24 vials from his waist belt. Thrown vials fall toward Lavos' left and right sides in an arcing trajectory, shattering on impact with solid surfaces leaving a trail behind him; shattered vials leave behind a pool of frozen residue at their impact zone, each lingering for 4 / 6 / 7 / 8 seconds and spanning a 2 meter radius that inflicts
100 / 150 / 200 / 250 Cold and 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 Imbued Elemental damage and status effects per second, to all enemies standing within the pools. At the end of his charge, Lavos emits an icy explosion spanning a 4 / 5 / 7 / 9 meter radius that inflicts a single instance of the Cold and Imbued Elemental damage and status effects, while throwing out a ring of vials that shatter around his destination. Casting Vial Rush triggers a cooldown of 5 seconds at the end of Lavos' rush before he can charge again.
- Explosion does not require enemies to be in direct line of sight to receive damage and status effects.
- Cooldown timer countdown is shown on the ability icon after Lavos completes his charge.
- While charging, Lavos is still land-bound and will drop down to the lowest terrain elevation in his path.
- While charging, Lavos will attempt to slip pass obstacles in his path to continue his way. If held in place by an obstacle for at least two seconds, Vial Rush automatically stops, triggering the explosion and throwing the remaining vials out.
- Due to being a non-damaging status effect, Vial Rush's Cold status procs will stack 3 times per application as part of Lavos' passive mechanics.
- Vials have travel time as arcing projectiles that are affected by projectile-altering abilities such as Mag's Magnetize.
- Halt Lavos in his tracks during his charge, triggering the explosion and releasing all remaining vials around him by pressing the jump key (default Spacebar ) to instantly stop; alternatively, press the ability key again (default 2 ) after Lavos dashed for at least 0.5 seconds to end Vial Rush early.
- Ability Synergy:
- Hold down the ability key (default 2 ) to add Cold damage to Lavos' mixing vial at no cost, as the Imbued Elemental damage type for his next ability cast.
- Transmutation Probe reduces Vial Rush's active cooldown for each enemy it electrocuted. If enemies were electrocuted while Lavos is charging, the cooldown reduction carries over to Vial Rush's cooldown.
- Cold status effects inflicted on enemies by Vial Rush enhance Catalyze's damage.
- Hold down the ability key (default 2 ) to add
- Can be cast and interrupted while moving or in midair.
- Casting and interrupting Vial Rush are full-body animations that restrict movement and other actions.
- Nullifier Crewman and Isolator Bursa bubbles will interrupt Vial Rush if Lavos comes into contact with them.
- Lavos will halt inside the bubble, triggering the icy explosion and releasing the remaining vials. Vials flung inside the nullification bubble will harmlessly disappear.
- Vials touching the bubble from the outside will bounce away and land around it.
- Residual pools fizzle away on contact with the bubble.
- Lavos visually assumes a sliding posture as he charges forward with energy trailing from his hands, while his serpents frantically flail in the air, rapidly grabbing and throwing vials from his waist belt. Upon stopping his charge, Lavos reels back as the icy explosion rapidly expands around him. Energy trails, vials, and residue pools are affected by Lavos' Appearance colors.
- Residue pools resemble a cluster of floating frozen ice blocks with the broken vial at their center. When Vial Rush is imbued with a different element, unique energy particle effects emit from the pools representing the additional elemental damage type.
- Subsuming Lavos to the Helminth will offer Vial Rush and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
Patch History[]
Update 31.1 (2022-02-09)
- Lavos’ Vial Rush has been slightly changed in the name of performance. When casting Vial Rush zones from previous Vial Rush are removed but deal a one time damage proportional to their remaining duration.
