Info

• Kullervo expends 25 Energy to focus his vengeful wrath onto an enemy target on the reticle within a distance of 20 / 22 / 23 / 25 meters. Once cast, he swaps his current weapon to his equipped melee weapon and charges a Heavy Attack, becoming Invulnerable during its Wind Up time, then teleports to the target and strikes them simultaneously. The teleport heavy attack and subsequent melee attacks gain a +50% / +100% / +150% / +200% final Critical Chance bonus lasting for 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 seconds. After teleporting, Kullervo also refreshes his Maneuvers limited usage if previously performed already, such as Aim Glide, Double Jump, and Bullet Jump.
  • Has a 1 second cooldown after use.
  • Melee critical chance bonus begins countdown immediately on cast, before the heavy attack wind up.
  • The final critical chance applied to melee weapons is a flat value applied after mods (e.g. a melee weapon with 25% critical chance becomes 225% when a rank 3 Wrathful Advance is active).
  • If Kullervo does not have a melee weapon equipped, he will simply teleport to the target.
  • If the target dies before Kullervo finishes his heavy attack wind up, the teleport is aborted and he remains at his current position.
  • Invulnerability does not cleanse Status Effects.
• Hold down the ability button (default 1 ) to center a teleport marker toward the location on the aiming reticle, then release the button to cast Wrathful Advance and teleport Kullervo for the modded distance. After hold-cast, melee critical chance buff becomes active for the modded duration and refreshes his maneuvers.
  • Hold down and release the button while the teleport marker is on an enemy to lock onto the target and perform a heavy attack teleport.
    • The teleport marker snaps to the nearest enemy on the reticle and plays a distinct sound to indicate its lock-on.
  • Teleport marker reaches up to the ability's modded distance and can be placed in any direction including toward the skybox to teleport Kullervo upward.
  • Kullervo does not become briefly invulnerable if teleporting by hold-cast.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Kullervo's Passive increases Heavy Attack Efficiency by 75% and Heavy Attack Wind Up speed by 100% to amplify Wrathful Advance's heavy attack.
  •  Recompense,  Collective Curse, and  Storm of Ukko increase the Melee Combo Counter to amplify Wrathful Advance's heavy attack.
  • Wrathful Advance's heavy attack damage spreads through enemies under Collective Curse when striking a cursed target.
  • When  Wrath of Ukko is equipped, Wrathful Advance will reposition an active Storm of Ukko to the teleport location while also adding extra duration to the ability.
• Can be recast to refresh active melee critical chance buff duration to full.
• Wrathful Advance's melee critical bonus is dispelled by Kullervo entering an ability nullification zone or by falling out of bounds.
  • Kullervo can only teleport up to the border of a Nullifier Crewman's bubble. Hold-cast teleport marker is also obstructed by the bubble.
• While active, whenever Kullervo performs a melee heavy attack on most melee weapon types, an aggressive growl can be heard on each swing.
• Subsuming Kullervo to the Helminth will offer Wrathful Advance and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
  • However, Subsumed Wrathful Advance's range is reduced to 10 / 11 / 11.5 / 12.5 meters and melee critical chance bonus reduced to 25% / 50% / 75% / 100%
    • (only the targeting, the hold to teleport range is unchanged)
  • The bonus critical chance also applies to Exalted Weapons and pseudo-exalted abilities such as  Landslide,  Slash Dash,  Shattered Lash and  Whipclaw.

Bugs

• • • After teleporting with tap-cast, the last held gun always defaults to the primary weapon, despite previously holding secondary.
    • Can sometimes teleport into geometry near the target, becoming stuck inside terrain.
    • Hold-cast teleport marker is often blocked by Kullervo and his shoulder attachments.
    • Melee critical bonus buff icon and timer do not disappear from the UI upon dispel.
    • Some weapons' heavy attack animations can cause them to miss, such as with Edun.
    • Subsumed Wrathful Advance's range is not reduced, and has the same range as on Kullervo.
