Buffs and Debuffs are effects that can positively or negatively affect a target.

Name	Type	Target	Description

Caused by: Mesa's Shooting Gallery Chroma's Vex Armor Equinox's Metamorphosis Multiplicative Caused by: Rhino's Roar Octavia's Amp Mirage's Eclipse[citation needed]
Elemental Damage Bonus	Buff	Ally	Increases the damage of weapons and certain abilities. This bonus is multiplicative after damage mods such as  Serration, but before Elemental mods such as  Hellfire. The element bonus can combine with elements already present on the weapon (eg. using  Fireball Frenzy on a weapon makes it deal ) or increase the elemental component of a secondary element if that is not innate (e.g. using  Shock Trooper on a weapon modded with increases the component on the weapon, if is innate, is added following the above rules). Elemental damage bonuses can be cast on Companions, Specters, Mind Controlled enemies, Shadows, Saryn's Molt, Loki's Decoy, Invasion Allies and Clones created from Blade Storm.

Corruption	Buff	All	Obtainable during Void Fissures, the effect varies for enemies and Tennos. Enemies: The target will be stunned temporarily, granting invulnerability during that time frame. Tenno: After collecting 10 Reactants, a buff will be randomly given to either the Warframe or a weapon. The buffed equipment will have a corrupted texture effect and emit lighting bolts for the duration of the buff. The buff duration is based on the tier of the Void Fissure, following the formula: Buff Duration = 30s × Mission Tier. Warframe: Two times multiplier to Ability Range and Strength. This affects the total value. For example with a maxed  Intensify Ability Strength becomes (1 + 0.3) × 2 = 260% while the buff is active. Primary and Secondary Weapons: No Ammo will be consumed. Melee Weapons: Channeling cost is reduced to 1 point of Energy per enemy hit.
