Warframe Guides

“I am the Lotus. I will guide you, but we must hurry.”

Guides are created by users like you. They aren't as strictly regulated as most pages, so keep an eye out for dated or subjective information.

Have your own build and playstyle? You can contribute too! Instructions are within.

See Category:Zephyr Guides to read user-made guides on how to play this Warframe.

Notes

Zephyr has reduced friction against air and increased resistance to gravity.
- Zephyr jumps higher and has longer hang time than other Warframes.
Due to a bug(?), a Zephyr playing as a client will have complete lateral air friction when not sliding, meaning that the player will completely stop moving laterally while in the air as long as a movement button is not held.

Trivia

Zephyr's name is derived from Zephyrus, one of the four most important Anemoi in Greek legend. Zephyrus holds domain over the west wind and flowers, and he also serves as a messenger for Aphrodite and Eros.
Zephyr was confirmed to be originated as a fan-made concept in Devstream 22 by user Volkovyi (also known as Liger Inuzuka). Digital Extremes did not specify who followed up the idea, but it was mentioned as being conceptualized by the community.
- Volkovyi was acknowledged as the one who inspired Zephyr by Grineeer (Scott) on twitter, explaining that his nickname simply escaped him during the Livestream.
- In contrast to Ash, Zephyr was originally portrayed as a male in the concept art rather than a female.
- Volkovyi also created the concepts for several Deluxe Skins, including Nidus Phryke, Nezha Empyrean, and Excalibur Zato. After being hired by Digital Extremes, their past concept for a Warframe named "Wraithe" was revamped into Sevagoth.
As mentioned by Scott and Steve on the Update 12 highlights, Zephyr is less affected by gravity than other frames making her descents slower and being able to jump higher than other frames. This can be attributed to the Oxium used in her manufacture. This technically makes Zephyr the first Warframe to have a Passive Attribute.
- However, this characteristic is still slightly buggy.
Zephyr is the first Warframe entirely released as a Clan lab project, which makes getting her components much easier.
The moving pieces on her helmet may move around in the Codex, instead of being perfectly still. This is a bug or clipping issue.
- This is due to realtime physics still being active in static dioramas. Other physics-enabled elements such as syandanas are affected in other dioramas.
Zephyr was originally named Tengu during development.
- This has now become the name of one of her helmets.

Bugs

Zephyr's Airburst will override the floating effect of Titania's Spellbind, with enemies getting up once the pull of Airburst ends.
Zephyr has reduced movement speed when in Relays or hub areas such as in Cetus, and this bug extends to her Prime. If you enter these areas as Zephyr then switch frames, they will retain the reduced movement speed bug. However, if you enter these places with a different frame then switch to Zephyr, she will not have the reduced movement speed. It can be speculated that somehow her reduced fall speed is being applied to her movement speed but only in these hub areas.

Vaultings

On December 4th, 2019, it was announced that Zephyr Prime, alongside Tiberon Prime and Kronen Prime, would enter the Prime Vault and its relics retired from the drop tables on December 17th, 2019. Any preexisting components or fully-built frames will remain as is.

Notes

Zephyr Prime, compared to Zephyr:
- Higher Armor (125 vs. 100)
- Higher Energy (150/225 vs. 100/150)
- Higher Sprint Speed (1.2 vs. 1.15)
- Different Polarities ( vs. )
- Higher Mastery Rank required (6 vs. 0)
As a Prime Warframe, Zephyr Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb will make them release an energy pulse that grants 250 Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb, and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.
Zephyr Prime produces more prominent effects when using Tail Wind to dash, including a visible energy trail and a swirling vortex of particles.

Trivia

Zephyr Prime is the third Prime Warframe to have a non-static model, as the feathers on her head and arms extend outwards whenever she is in mid-air, after Rhino Prime and Nova Prime.

Media

Zephyr mid-flight

Passive

Striking from the skies above, Zephyr is significantly lighter in comparison to other Warframes, dramatically altering her airborne physics. Specifically, she descends slower and has improved aerodynamics which can be used to control her midair movement with greater ease and agility. While airborne, Zephyr's equipped weapons gain a 150% Critical Chance bonus that additively stacks to the bonuses of critical chance Mods.

Zephyr's reduced gravity portion of her passive can be disabled with Anchored Glide.

ENERGY: 25 KEY 1	Tail Wind Hold while airborne to hover Zephyr with reduced movement. From the air, tap to dash forward, or aim down to dive bomb enemies below. Energy Discount while Airborne: 12.5 Hover Glide Energy Drain: 5 s^-1	Strength:375 / ? / ? / 750 (dash Slash damage) 2,250 / ? / ? / 4,500 (dive bomb Impact damage)
		Duration:30 m/s (air speed)
		Range:1.5 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 2 m (contact radius) 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 m (explosion radius)
		Misc:1 s (dash duration) ≤45° (dive bomb angle) 1 / 2 / 3 / 5 m/s (dive initial speed)

Zephyr generates a powerful gust of wind for propulsion, by expending 25 energy while grounded or 12.5 energy while airborne, to soar toward the aiming reticle at a speed of 30 meters per second for 1 second. While in flight, Zephyr rides an air current with a 1.5 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 2 meters radius, which inflicts ? / ? / ? / 750 Slash damage and Knockdown to all enemies it contacts.
- Energy cost and energy discount are affected by Ability Efficiency.
- Air speed is affected by Ability Duration.
- Contact damage is affected by Ability Strength.
- Contact radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Dash duration and knockdown are not affected by mods.
- If cast from the ground, aiming at any direction propels Zephyr forward, while aiming straight down causes Zephyr to skyrocket upward.
- If cast while airborne, aiming at any direction propels Zephyr forward, while aiming straight down or within a 45 degree angle toward the ground causes Zephyr to perform a Dive Bomb technique.
- Zephyr maintains a portion of the momentum generated by Tail Wind once the dash ends.
- If Zephyr slams into an obstacle such as a wall during her dash, she can immediately break away from the surface by performing a wall jump (default Spacebar ).
- At the end of each Tail Wind dash, Aim Glide will be reset. To repeatedly aim glide without landing, Zephyr must first stop aiming then aim down sights (default hold RMB while in midair) to reactivate this maneuver after each successive dash.
Zephyr executes different aerial combat techniques with Tail Wind depending on the activation conditions:

While Zephyr is airborne, casting Tail Wind directly downward or within a 45 degree angle toward the ground, causes Zephyr to nose dive to the location at an initial speed of 1 / 2 / 3 / 5 meters per second; during the dive, Zephyr will continue to accelerate until impact. On impact, Zephyr creates an explosion in a 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 meters radius around the landing point that inflicts ? / ? / ? / 4,500 base Impact damage amplified by height of the dive, as well as Knockdown on all enemies in range.
- Base damage is affected by Ability Strength.
- Total explosion damage depends on the height at which Tail Wind is activated:
  - Total explosion damage is calculated by multiplying the base damage by $0.2 \times Activation Height$ (e.g., activating Tail Wind at 15 meters will yield $0.2 \times 15 \times 4500 = 13,500$ damage at max rank).
  - Activating Dive Bomb at a height less than 4 meters will only inflict base damage.
- Damage bypasses obstacles in the environment and does not decrease with distance.
- Explosion radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Initial speed is not affected by mods.
Dive Bomb will only activate Heavy Impact if the required height is achieved.
Performing a dive bomb during a Bullet Jump causes Zephyr to softly rebound away from the landing point and back into the air.

While Zephyr is airborne, holding down the ability key then releasing it (default 1 ) causes Zephyr to expend 12.5 energy then drain 5 energy per second to immediately arrest her momentum then sustain her altitude in a continuous hover. While hovering in the air, Zephyr may attack with, switch and reload her weapons, as well as cast her abilities; as she hovers, Zephyr may also glide along the horizontal plane using the movement keys (default W A S D ) at a reduced movement speed, accelerate by using Sprint (default hold LShift ), and slide toward the directional input (default W A S D + hold LCtrl ) to strafe quickly.

Activation energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency, and the energy drain per second is affected by both Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
- Activation energy cost is already discounted by half the amount due to Zephyr being required to be airborne to activate Glide. Energy drain per second is not discounted however.
Energy Siphon and other energy restoring effects are deactivated while Hover Glide is channeled. However, Arcane Energize, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, Syndicate effects such as Blight and Entropy can still restore energy.
Glide speed is affected by movement speed and sprint speed buffs and mods, such as Jet Stream.

Hover Glide will automatically deactivate when Zephyr's energy pool fully depletes, upon touching a horizontal surface, performing a Tail Wind dash, dodge roll (default tap LShift ), jump (default Spacebar ), bullet jump (default LCtrl + Spacebar ), quick melee attack or melee slam attack (default E ).

Cannot be activated while Zephyr is grounded. If already active, holding down the ability key results in a Tail Wind dash.

Activating Tail Wind multiple times allows Zephyr to propel herself farther into the air, effectively simulating flight. There is a slight cooldown between activation.
Can be used to pass through Laser Barriers unharmed in most cases.
Zephyr is vulnerable to crowd control via staggers and knockdowns while using Tail Wind.
Casting Tail Wind interrupts reloading.
Air current visual effects are affected by Zephyr's chosen Warframe energy color.

Main article: Target Fixation

Target Fixation is a Warframe Augment Mod for Zephyr that increases Tail Wind's damage for every enemy it hits, and applies a 2-second grace period when touching the ground before the buff is lost.

Rank	Damage Bonus	Cost
0	+40%	6
1	+60%	7
2	+80%	8
3	+100%	9

Propelling from the ground is inefficient, it's recommended to jump and dash vertically for more distance.
Aim glide can be used to significantly increase the distance traveled, as all momentum is conserved for the duration of the aim glide.

After second activation of this ability gravity increases to normal until Zephyr lands (confirmed as bug in Community Hot Topics).

Occasionally, when "Tail-winding" closely to an Extraction point on Solo, Zephyr's body will be frozen in Tail Wind state, as she supposedly locks herself into the Extraction pod with all her limbs properly placed.

ENERGY: 50 KEY 2	Airburst Launch a burst of massively dense air. Hold to send enemies flying, tap to pull them toward the burst. Damage increases per enemy hit. Energy Discount while Airborne: 25	Strength:200 / 300 / 400 / 500 (contact and explosion damage)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:4 / 5 / 7 / 8 m (explosion radius)
		Misc:50 % (status chance) 100 m (travel distance) 35 % (damage growth per enemy hit) 2 s (pull force duration)
		Subsumable to Helminth

Zephyr launches a rapidly traveling slice of dense air towards her aiming reticle, by expending 50 energy while grounded or 25 energy while airborne. Once it collides into an enemy, the slice passes through and deals 200 / 300 / 400 / 500 Impact, Puncture, and Slash damage with a 50% Status Chance. Upon colliding with a surface or after traveling 100 meters, the slice explodes in a 4 / 5 / 7 / 8 meters radius, dealing damage, knocking down and ragdolling all enemies in the blast. Each enemy hit directly by the slice or blast also increases Airburst's damage by 35%.
- Tap the ability key (default 2 ) to pull enemies toward Zephyr if hit directly by the slice or pull them toward the center of the blast. Hold down the ability key to push enemies away instead.
  - Airburst's pull force lingers for 2 seconds on the surface it collides with, during which the affected enemies remain ragdolled and gradually slide toward the center.
- Energy cost and energy discount are affected by Ability Efficiency.
- Damage distribution is 18.75% Impact, 12.5% Puncture, and 68.75% Slash.
- Contact and explosion damage are affected by Ability Strength and Theorem Demulcent.
- Explosion damage does not diminish with distance.
- Explosion radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Airburst projectiles have innate punch through and can bypass certain objects in the environment (e.g. closed doors).
- Status chance, travel distance, damage growth per enemy hit, and pull force duration are not affected by mods.
The explosion can damage objects and enemies through walls and other cover.
Casting Airburst is a One-Handed Action, meaning it can be used while performing many actions without interrupting them, including reloading, charging, shooting, and moving (either sprinting or sliding).
Subsuming Zephyr to the Helminth will offer Airburst and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
- Subsumed Airburst includes the tap-cast for wind vacuum and hold-cast for wind explosion.

Main article: Airburst Rounds

Airburst Rounds is a Warframe Augment Mod for Zephyr that provides a damage bonus for secondaries for every enemy hit with Airburst.

Rank	Damage bonus per enemy	Duration	Cost
0	+10%	5s	6
1	+15%	8s	7
2	+20%	11s	8
3	+25%	14s	9

Airburst is an effective way to deal with large swarms of enemies, especially melee, and when they are huddled together.
Airburst allows players to apply crowd-control effects on enemies in the distance.
Synergizes well with Zephyr's Tail Wind as the latter allows Zephyr to stay airborne longer, halving the casting cost of the ability.

ENERGY: 75 KEY 3	Turbulence Creates a wind shield around Zephyr, redirecting all incoming projectiles.	Strength:N/A
		Duration:10 / 12 / 15 / 20 s
		Range:3 / 4 / 5 / 6 m

Zephyr surrounds herself in turbulent winds that alter the trajectory of incoming enemy bullets, beams, and projectiles, by expending 75 energy to sustain a protective aura with a 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 meter radius that lasts for 10 / 12 / 15 / 20 seconds.
- Energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Shield radius is affected by Ability Range.
- The shield is spherical and reliably deflects visible projectiles with noticeable flight times (e.g. from Dera, Plasma Rifle and (Pyrotechnic) Ogris), even if fired from within the shield and even if Zephyr is not the target. As these types of projectiles are deflected, their damage (disregarding area damage) is effectively negated.
- Hitscan bullets (from weapons' shots with no flight time) are completely avoided.
Turbulence protects Zephyr from incoming projectiles but does not make Zephyr immune to all forms of damage or crowd control. While Turbulence is active, Zephyr is vulnerable to:
- Status effects, staggers and knockdowns.
- Melee attacks (non-projectiles).
- Area-of-effect attacks and explosions (e.g., Shockwave MOA attacks, Ogris rocket explosions, Ignis area damage, and Seismic Shockwaves).
Casting speed is affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
- Cannot be recast while active.
Wind visual effects are affected by Zephyr's chosen Warframe energy color.

Main article: Jet Stream

Jet Stream is a Warframe Augment Mod for Zephyr that grants Turbulence the ability to provide additional movement speed and Projectile Speed for Zephyr and nearby allies.

Rank	Movement Speed	Projectile Speed	Cost
0	20%	50%	6
1	25%	65%	7
2	30%	80%	8
3	40%	100%	9

Turbulence with above average Ability Range is very effective to shield mission objectives like Defense cryopods or Mobile Defense consoles.
Lowering Ability Range will make it more likely to get hit by area damage from diverted projectiles while moving.
Turbulence will not be deactivated upon riding K-Drive, adding invulnerability against firearms during the ride.

ENERGY: 100 KEY 4	Tornado Create deadly tornadoes that seek out and engulf enemies. Tornadoes deal the elemental damage type they absorb the most. Shoot engulfed enemies to inflict extra damage. Tap for wandering tornadoes or hold for stationary ones.	Strength:50 / 75 / 100 / 160 (damage per tick)
		Duration:10 / 12 / 15 / 20 s
		Range:15 / 17 / 20 / 25 m (spawn radius)
		Misc:2 / 2 / 3 / 3 (number of tornadoes) ∞ (cast range) 100 % (absorbed damage distribution) 200 % (critical damage multiplier) 9 m (tornado height) 2 / 5 m/s (move speeds) 10 m (pull radius) 4/s (damage ticks per second)

Zephyr forms a maximum of 2 / 2 / 3 / 3 tornadoes at the location on the aiming reticle over unrestricted range by expending 100 energy; tornadoes will prioritize forming on top of enemies within a spawning area of 15 / 17 / 20 / 25 meters around the location and around Zephyr herself. Tapping the ability key creates tornadoes that wander the battlefield, being drawn to enemy presence. Holding down the ability key (default 4 ) creates stationary tornadoes centered at the location on the aiming reticle. All tornadoes expire after 10 / 12 / 15 / 20 seconds.
- Energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency.
- Spawn radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Number of tornadoes active and cast range are not affected by Mods.
Zephyr and her allies can attack each tornado to distribute 100% total damage (including Critical Hits) and Status Effects from weapons and abilities to all enemies trapped within a tornado. Critical damage dealt to enemies trapped within a tornado is multiplied by 200%.
- Absorbed damage distribution and critical multiplier are not affected by mods. The critical multiplier is applied after any installed weapon mods.
Tornado's visual effects are modified by each elemental damage type.
- Magnetic damage type and default physical damage tornado share the same visual effects.
Can be recast while active to replace old tornadoes.
Tornadoes exhibit numerous unique properties and mechanics as summoned allied AI units.

Each tornado is invulnerable to damage, intangible, weightless, 9 meters tall and moves at a speed of 2 meters per second. Enemies within a radius of 10 meters from a tornado are pulled along its path, becoming disabled from moving or attacking, while hovering in a ragdoll state and orbiting the whirlwind. Each tornado inflicts 50 / 75 / 100 / 160 damage per tick to all enemies within its grasp; damage ticks occur at a rate of 4 per second.
- Damage per tick is affected by Ability Strength.
  - Damage per tick is distributed between Impact, Puncture, and Slash physical damage types with a high chance to proc status from all damage types. Damage diminishes with distance from the center of the tornado.
- Tornado height, move speeds, and pull radius are not affected by mods.
- Tornadoes phase through all entities, walls and objects in the environment.
- Tornadoes float and do not require a surface to travel between locations; however, if hovering in midair, tornadoes will descend toward the ground to follow AI pathing to reach enemies.
If using wandering Tornadoes, Zephyr can direct the nearest tornado from her aiming reticle toward a location by holding down the zoom key (default RMB ), causing the affected tornado to move at a speed of 5 meters per second toward its new destination while the key is held.
- The tornado nearest to the location on Zephyr's aiming reticle will be controlled, meaning that moving the reticle while controlling one tornado will switch control to another if that tornado is the nearest.
- Stationary tornadoes will not be moved by Zephyr's aim.
Affected enemies spiral up to the top of a tornado while spinning in a skydiving posture, trapped by the funnel until it expires, the enemies die, or external forces cause them to eject away from the tornado's pull.
Corpses of slain enemies are released from tornadoes' grasp.
If enemies are in range of multiple tornadoes' pull radii, they will cluster up in the aerial space between the tornadoes.

If a source of damage contains Elemental Damage types, tornadoes can adapt their damage per tick's physical damage types (, , and ) into one of the following elemental damage types: , , , ; , , , , , and .

Each tornado's damage type can be modified by many damage sources, including ranged weapons, melee weapons, and abilities, even damage from Bullet Jump from Tenno, as well as damage from enemy units. (e.g., striking a tornado with an unmodified Dark Sword will change it to Radiation, or a Volatile Runner that explodes near a tornado will change it to Blast.)
Each tornado keeps track of the total damage it absorbed; a tornado will only account for the highest elemental damage number on a weapon or ability when determining which elemental type it will adapt to, as well as the total amount of damage it absorbed.
- As such, shooting a tornado multiple times using a different weapon with a different highest elemental damage number, causes the tornado to change its damage type when the stored total damage from one source is exceeded by another.
- For example, hitting a tornado with a primary weapon that deals 500 Corrosive and 450 Blast damage stores 500 total damage and changes the tornado's damage type to Corrosive. Hitting the same tornado with a secondary weapon that deals 250 Radiation damage three times stores 750 total damage, exceeding the previous amount and changes the tornado's damage type to Radiation.

Once a tornado adapts to an elemental damage type, it cannot revert to its three physical damage types by absorbing damage.

If the damage source deals multiple elemental damage types, then a tornado will be charged with the damage type with the highest damage number.

If the damage source has equal damage numbers between all its elemental damage types, then priority will be given by alphabetical order of the damage types' names.

A tornado will not deal combined elemental damage by absorbing two base elemental damage types (e.g., a tornado will not inflict Blast damage by shooting it with Cold damage and Heat damage from different sources).

Main article: Funnel Clouds

Funnel Clouds is a Warframe Augment Mod for Zephyr that increases the number of active Tornadoes while decreasing their size and removes their ability to pick up enemies.

Rank	(Additional) Tornadoes	Cost
0	2	6
1	4	7
2	6	8
3	8	9

Due to high proc rate, Tornado can be used to apply status effects to masses of enemies.
- Viral can be used to increase damage done to mobs by 100% to 325% regardless of level.
Each of 4 spawned tornadoes can have different elements.
Tornadoes will fling enemies trapped within them in random directions after a period of suspending them midair if there is nothing impeding upward thrust (i.e., ceiling). Otherwise, they will stay in the tornado for the full duration.
- This can greatly lower the damage and CC it is capable of if the enemies are ejected early, making it much more powerful and effective in lower roofed tilesets as opposed to open areas Zephyr thrives in for mobility.

On some occasions, a bug may prevent you from casting Tornado if there are no enemies in range.

If another Zephyr is in the squad and casts Tornado, then their duration will appear for you as well, although it does not prevent you from casting it yourself.

Multiple bugs prevent Tornado from working correctly when not hosting.

Both Condition Overload and the Cedo's passive will not increase the damage dealt to enemies by Tornado.

Forced Status Effects applied from Stance mods, Toxic Lash and other effects will not be applied to enemies by Tornado.

When directly hit Tornado will prevent the radial damage dealt by the Zakti/Zakti Prime, Mutalist Cernos, Proboscis Cernos and Zhuge Prime.

A Tornado will become unable to distribute weapon damage after receiving 500,000 damage, and will be completely destroyed after receiving this much damage with the Funnel Clouds augment.
