Behold the patron saint of the Orokin school of political assassination. Ash specializes in stealth. The edge of his blade is sooner felt than seen.

This is Ash, lethal and elusive.

Ash can remain unseen, but his effects on the battlefield can be felt by all. Keep an eye out, Tenno.

Release Date: October 25th, 2012

Ash is a fast, maneuverable Warframe that possesses a high degree of survivability in the field. Fleet movement complements deadly tools of assassination, making Ash a perfect balance between killing potency and stealth.

Lore

Main article: Leverian#Ash
Ash. Avatar of murder.

Patron saint of the Orokin school of political assassination known as... The Scoria. Each assassin bore a mark: a swirling, smoky-black jewel between their eyes.

"You are forever the Scoria. The Scoria is forever you."

No devotee knew of any life, any thought that was not Scoria Doctrine. For every question, so the Orokin of the Scoria said, Ash was the answer.

Two notable students of the Scoria's anthracite halls were also two brothers: Dom and Pilio. Dom was nimble, cunning, and a quick study with the blade. His brother, Pilio, however, was not so gifted. While he idolized Ash, worshipped him, Pilio lacked Dom's grace and clarity. And Ash's ruthlessness. However... it was Dom who had been captured by the very target he was tasked to kill. A sin unforgivable to the Scoria. So it fell to Pilio - the lesser - to uphold the Scoria by taking Dom's life. By this, the Seven would have assurance that Dom's flaw was not a... familial trait.

You see, as you might expect of an Orokin school of murder, the Scoria were ruthless when it came to... "academic excellence". With Dom dead at Pilio's feet, two essential killings would have taken place: that of a failure, and that of any shred of pity within Pilio. Ash would oversee Pilio's mission.

Pilio's soul was to die that day: as the life drained from his brother's eyes or if he could not do so, beneath the blades of his lifelong idol: Ash.

During the Orokin Era, there was a school of assassination called The Scoria. Each of its members bore a black jewel imprinted between their eyes and treated Ash as their patron saint.

At one point during the Era, the school had two noteworthy students: brothers Dom and Pilio. Dom possessed great skill while Pilio was not as gifted, lacking his brother's grace and clarity, but one day Dom was captured by his target. As capture by the enemy was considered an unforgivable sin to the Scoria, Pilio was given the task to assassinate his brother, a mission that would be overseen by Ash himself. However, Pilio would be torn from killing his brother, were he to succeed, or being killed by his idol, were he to fail.

The pair was dispatched on a tower on Mars, but Pilio failed to overcome the fear that his task wrought, leaving Ash to slay the fifty guardsmen with his Causta Bow and DualKamas Dual Kamas. Ash led Pilio to their target's chambers, discovering Dom in civilian clothes, casually sharing a glass with a middle-aged mustachioed man whose eyes were sad and kind, and the gem between his eyes removed, signifying that he had betrayed the Scoria. The man gladly called Dom and Pilio his sons before coming to Dom's defense and brandishing a sidearm, which was quickly disarmed by Ash's BladeStorm130xWhite Blade Storm.

Urged by Dom, a confused Pilio questioned Ash, who responded by sinking his blade into Pilio's gem. The gem was suppressing the memories of Dom and Pilio DeNas, who were stolen by the Scoria. The mustachioed man, Lio DeNas, was stealing back his sons. Ash had saved the boy from his turmoil and allowed the DeNas family to escape from Mars forever.

It is unknown why Ash went against the school's doctrine. However, it is known that not even the Scoria's senior members were spared from their idol during The Collapse.

So. What are we to make of this?

Why did Ash - focal figure of the Scoria - go against Doctrine and permit two boys who were both failures and traitors to fly free?

What was it this killer saw in two near-orphans that, shall we say, softened his heart?

We do not know. Neither did Pilio, whose memoirs bring us this story.

But. We do know this: in the final days of Orokin rule... as towers fell and death came for the white-and-gold gods... the Scoria were not spared.

No. Rather their senior ranks - the mentors and chief assassins - were exterminated to a figure in a pogrom of ruthless and breathtaking efficiency.

A near-total destruction led... in the main... by Ash. Curious, no?

Trivia

Ash Female Concept

Ash's concept art.

  • Ash was originally named Smoke, and before that, simply Ninja.[1] He is still referred to as Ninja internally in the game files.
  • As seen from concept art, Ash was initially slated to be a female Warframe.
  • Ash, like some of Hydroid's powers, has a unique perk that allows his BladeStorm130xWhite Blade Storm ability to completely bypass enemy armor due to the attacks dealing DmgTrueSmall64 True damage; the kind of damage used when players perform finishing attacks on unaware/blinded/sleeping enemies.
  • Ash was the first Warframe that had innate physical weapons associated with his frame, in this case, the hidden blades he uses in his Blade Storm ability. The second frame with this innate physical weapon was MesaIcon272 Mesa and her Regulator pistols she uses in her Peacemaker130xWhite Peacemaker ability.
  • Ash has smoke constantly venting from his left arm.

Notes

  • Ash Prime, compared to AshIcon272 Ash:
    • Higher Shields (365/465 vs. 270/370)
    • Higher Armor (185 vs. 105)
    • Higher Sprint Speed (1.2 vs. 1.15)
    • Different Polarities (Madurai PolMadurai PolNaramon Pol vs. Madurai PolMadurai Pol)
  • As with any other Prime Warframe, moving close to the location of an Orokin Void Death Orb will restore a pulse of 250 Energy to nearby allies, even if that Death Orb is inactive, destroyed, or non-present. This effect can only occur once per orb.

Trivia

  • Ash Prime's helmet could be loosely based on the traditional Kabuto Samurai helmet and shows certain aspects of other Samurai Helmets like the oversized chin guard.
  • The ponytail on the Ash Prime helmet is somewhat reminiscent of the ponytail in Ash's original concept art.
    • This "ponytail" was originally intended to be included in his final design, however, cloth physics at the time did not permit it.
  • In the Codex, Ash Prime's arm blades are mounted underneath the wrist; in-game, however, the blades are positioned above his wrists much like the normal Ash.
  • Ash Prime's ability features are energy ribbons that emerge from Ash Prime when he appears out of SmokeScreen130xWhite Smoke Screen and when he reaches his destination from Teleport130xWhite Teleport.
  • Ash Prime has Orokin writing on his torso that says "Tenno Model 24N - Serial 147H".
  • Ash Prime's Arsenal image shows him holding the VectisPrime Vectis Prime as a lefty. Although this may be unintentional, it could hint to Ash Prime being ambidextrous, hence why he is equally efficient with both arm blades.
  • A fully built Ash Prime was given for watching TennoCon 2018 on WARFRAME's Twitch with a Twitch-linked account for 30 consecutive minutes, or were in attendance to TennoCon 2018, on July 7th, 2018.[1]
    • Due to server issues that prevented players from watching the livestream, DE gave away a free Ash Prime to anybody with a Twitch-linked account who logged into WARFRAME between July 3rd and July 10th, 2018.[2]

DmgSlashSmall64 Slash procs inflicted by AshIcon272 Ash's weapons and abilities deal 25% more damage and last 50% longer.

  • Bonus is also independent of faction damage bonuses, stacking multiplicatively with them.
    • For example, when using AshIcon272 Ash, a weapon that deals 100 damage with Mod TT 20px Bane of Grineer will have a DmgSlashSmall64 Slash proc that deals (100 * (1 + Mod TT 20px 0.3)) * 0.35 * (1 + Mod TT 20px 0.3) * (1 + AshIcon272 0.25) = 73.94 damage per tick.
  • Bleed duration bonus stacks additively with status duration mods such as Mod TT 20px Lingering Torment.

Update 34.0 (2023-10-18)

Base vs Final Stats in Modding - Health / Energy / Shield / Armor Stat Overhaul

If you’ve spent any time invested in the deeper nuances of Modding, you may be familiar with “Warframe Math” - math that upon first glance doesn’t really make sense, but once you learn the inner workings of the game, it all comes together. While we can appreciate the value that complex systems offer to a certain subsect of players, there are other aspects of the game that should have clear and understandable outcomes. Namely: Shield, Health, Energy, and Armor Modding.

Pop quiz: what is 300 + 440%? If you answered 740, you may just be an Excalibur player.

Vitality (+440% Heath), Redirection (+440% Shields), Flow (+150% Energy), and Steel Fiber (+110% Armor) come with large modifier values that don’t seem to match their outcome in-game. This is because these Mods apply their multiplier to the base stats of the Warframe - i.e., the stats you have at Rank 0. In the Excalibur example, a Rank 30 Excalibur’s Health stat of 300 earns an additional 440 Health from max rank Vitality (+440% Heath) since it applies to his base rank Health stat of 100, resulting in 740 total health.

In this update, we have removed this obfuscation by having Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods apply to the stats of Warframes at their current rank. Continuing our Excalibur example, instead of Vitality always applying to Excalibur’s base rank 100 Health, it would apply to his Health stat based on his rank - namely, the stat you can actually see in your Arsenal. If your Excalibur were Rank 30, his Health stat would be 300, which means Vitality’s multiplier would be calculated off of 300.

With previous Health and Mod values, additional adjustments are needed to make this revision work while maintaining game balance. By only changing where the multiplier applies, a Rank 30 Excalibur would receive an extra 1,320 Health from max rank Vitality, resulting in a total health stat of 1,600. This outcome is a significant buff, which is not the intention of this system change.

To remedy this, we approached this problem in two ways:

1 - We reduced the overall multiplier for Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods.
Since these now affect Max Rank Warframe stats, these Mods need to scale differently to maintain the status quo. Additionally, we wanted these new values to be as clear and understandable to all players as possible! Here are a few examples of these value changes:

  • Vitality: Reduced from +440% to +100% Health
  • Redirection: Reduced from +440% to +100% Shield Capacity
  • Steel Fiber: Reduced from +110% to +100% Armor
  • Flow: Reduced from +150% to +100% Energy Max

Note: These are not all of the Mods affected by this change. We share the comprehensive list further down in this section of the update notes.

Doing some quick math, this means that a Rank 30 Excalibur (300 Health) with a reworked Vitality Mod (+100% Health, applied to the final Health stat) would receive 300 extra Health, for a total of 600. That, in contrast, is a nerf, which we also don’t want to do.

So, our next step:

2 - We adjusted Warframe Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor values to keep the end result of the revised Mods as close to the original values as possible.

With this change, Excalibur’s Rank 30 Health stat is 370. With +100% Health from a max Vitality Mod, his resulting Health stat would be 740, which matches what it was originally.

While this path to the same result may seem a little complicated, the outcome matches our intention: we want players to be able to look at their Health, Shield, and Armor Mods, and be able to understand how they affect the stats they see in their Arsenal.

In addition to everything above, we also increased the base stat values for Warframes so that these revised Mods offer similar value for lower-ranked Frames. To do so, we reduced the amount of Health/Shield/Energy that Warframes earn per rank in half, and transferred the sum of that value to their base stats.

For Armor, this is the one stat that does not increase with your Warframe’s level (with some exceptions). Armor values across the board have been slightly increased to compensate for the Mod changes.

Not to beat a dead Kaithe, but Mods will now be applying to the Max Rank stat instead of the Base Rank. You may look at these numbers and think “nerf” or “buff” depending, but the outcome is that total Modded values are the same, if not a little higher in some cases.

Warframe Stat Changes:

ASH
Health: Base Rank - 455 (from 150) / Max Rank - 555 (from 450)
Shields: Base Rank - 270 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300)
Armor: Base Rank - 105 (from 100)
Energy: Base Rank - 100 (from 100) / Max Rank - 150 (from 150)

ASH PRIME
Health: Base Rank - 455 (from 150) / Max Rank - 555 (from 450)
Shields: Base Rank - 365 (from 125) / Max Rank - 465 (from 375)
Armor: Base Rank - 185 (from 175)
Energy: Base Rank - 100 (from 100) / Max Rank - 150 (from 150)

While there may be significant changes to Warframe Stats and Mod values as a part of this overhaul, the end result is that your Builds should mostly stay the same. The key difference is the added clarity of what your Health / Shield / Energy / Armor Mods do in your Upgrade screens!

Changes:
  • Ash can now cast Teleport on Defense objectives.
    • This was previously fixed in Hotfix 33.0.7 due to the issues and inconsistencies with the landing spot (getting stuck in objective upon landing). We have now improved the targeting to prevent that and have re-enabled it!
Top Fixes:
  • Fixed Ash’s Shruikens pathing being widely inconsistent when pressed up against objects (walls, etc.) when cast, causing them to not fly directly towards enemies.

Update 33.0 (2023-04-26)

  • Fixed Ash’s Shuriken losing all punch through.

Hotfix 32.3.2 (2023-02-16)

  • Fixed Ash’s Shurikens losing all punch through and being unable to pass through most objects, including enemies.

Hotfix 31.7.2 (2022-08-17)

RAILJACK QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES - ASH

While maintaining our original intentions to connect Railjack to some more ‘core Warframe’ style rewards, we’ve made a few changes to have Ash components be more new player friendly for those starting their Railjack journey. Having them live only in Rotation C brought feedback of accessibility concerns for newer players trying to complete their Ash build.

  • Added Ash components to Corpus Railjack Exterminate/Volatile (4.82 - 4.88% chance), reducing Endo drops slightly.
  • Added Ash components to Corpus Railjack Survival/Defense Rotation A (13.33% chance), reducing Endo drops slightly & rearranging the drop % of rotation C.
Fixes:
  • Fixed Arcane Ultimatum not proccing off Ash's Bladestorm.

Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)

  • Fixed Crash related to Ash Specters using Bladestorm, it will now be more friendly to Clients.
  • Fixed Ash’s Bladestorm clones spawning as headless ghosts in T-pose.

Update 31.1 (2022-02-09)

  • (Undocumented) Fixed +Status Damage applying twice.

Hotfix 31.0.7 (2022-01-07)

  • Fixed issues with Ash's Bladestorm pausing if you ran far away from the targets during the stabbing.

Hotfix 29.10.8 (2021-03-31)

  • Added acquisition tips to Ash’s Component Blueprints as they now live in Railjack.

Update 29.10 (2021-03-19)

  • Ash have been added to Railjack rewards! Ash Component Blueprints can be found in Corpus Railjack Defense mission rewards.
    • We’ve permanently removed Ash Blueprints from Manic drop tables. We did this to connect Railjack to some more ‘core Warframe’ style rewards, and make their acquisition more straightforward for matchmaking purposes.
  • Fixed camera becoming frozen in place rather than attached to the player when joining Ash’s Bladestorm clones.

Update 29.5 (2020-11-19)

  • Bladestorm: Applies full number of marks to target at once (instead of needing to waggle mouse). Energy is consumed once per target marked instead of per mark now.
  • Fixed Spore Ephemera FX appearing as rectangles for Ash’s Bladestorm clones.

Hotfix 29.0.8 (2020-09-10)

  • Fixed Ash’s Shuriken ability not being affected by Power Strength Mods.

Hotfix 29.0.6 (2020-09-01)

  • Fixed a script error when casting Ash’s Shuriken ability.

Update 28.1 (2020-07-08)

Xoris Interaction Changes

Certain Warframe Abilities and Exalted weapons will now reset the Melee Combo Counter only if the Xoris is being used. The overwhelming Damage output of certain Warframe Abilities was not our intention with an infinite Melee Combo weapon, and the conversation of ‘Xoris or you’re doing it wrong’ is greatly restrictive in terms of player choice.

Warframe Abilities / Exalted Warframe weapons affected by this are:

  • Ash Bladestorm

The full breakdown can be read here.

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

  • Armor Change:
    • Ash: 65 to 100
    • Ash Prime: 150 to 175
    • Why: The conversation surrounding Arcane Guardian led to a significant review of Armor stats on Warfarmes. The Majority of Warframes received an increase in the Armor stat to increase survivability. Compounded with Shield Gating and the numerous other changes covered, we expect a much more fair feeling playing field for all Warframes.

Hotfix 25.7.6 (2019-09-18)

  • Increased brightness of Ash’s Bladestorm mark slightly to improve visibility.

Update 25.7 (2019-08-29)

  • Fixed the Atavist Prime Right Shoulder Plate clipping on the Ash Koga skin.
  • Fixed Ash’s Rising Storm combo building much faster than intended due to an interaction with Relentless Combo and a Gunblade weapon.

Update 25.6 (2019-08-08)

Rising Storm - Blade Storm Augment - Ash
  • Attacks by clones will raise the combo counter
  • Include a passive benefit to extend the combo counter by a duration
Smoke Shadow - Smoke Screen Augment - Ash
  • Increased Range.

Hotfix 25.4.1 (2019-07-24)

  • Added Ash’s Ability videos to his Arsenal diorama.

Hotfix 25.2.4 (2019-06-27)

  • Fixed casting Ash’s Teleport during Bladestorm resulting in a loss of proper functionality as reported here.

Update 25.1 (2019-06-05)

  • Fixed Zanuka being unable to capture Ash.

Update 22.19 (2018-05-02)

  • Ash can no longer Teleport to Cameras and Turrets, as it usually results in placing Ash outside of the map.

Hotfix 22.16.4 (2018-03-20)

  • Fixed Ash’s Bladestorm ability timer not displaying ‘0’ when 0 enemies are marked.

Update 22.15 (2018-03-07)
