Info

  • Overcome with rage, Valkyr unleashes a pair of energy talons, the ValkyrTalons Valkyr Talons, as her melee Exalted Weapon. Normal attacks deal 100 / 125 / 200 / 250 damage within 2 meters.
  • Attacks have a 200% critical multiplier with a 50% critical chance and a 10% status chance. Additionally, Valkyr is healed for 1% / 2% / 4% / 5% of the total melee damage she inflicts.
  • Damage is affected by Ability Strength, most mods and buffs, but not the melee combo counter.
  • While active, Valkyr becomes immune to all damage and status effects.
    • Status immunity includes crowd-controlling effects such as staggers, and Nauseous Crawler paralysis.
      • Certain attacks will still push Valkyr away, and shock waves will cause her to bounce into the air. However, these attacks will not force Valkyr to the ground.
      • Statuses that were already active when Hysteria was cast will not be removed. However, Valkyr will be immune to their damage regardless.
      • Valkyr is not immune to Commander teleportation, Regulator minimap disruption, Cryo Floors, Tar-Mutalist MOA slows, or Swarm-Mutalist MOA screen hazing.
  • Valkyr emits an aura with a radius of 5 meters around her while Hysteria is active, and 30% of the total damage she ignores is stored. If any enemies within this aura have line-of-sight of Valkyr when Hysteria is deactivated, Valkyr will be dealt 25% of all stored damage as DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage.
    • The aura will continue to grow up to 20 meters and each kill reduces it by 1 meter. It cannot be reduced below 5 meters under any circumstances.
    • Damage percentages are not affected by Ability Strength.
    • Aura radius is not affected by Ability Range.
    • Stored damage is calculated from the total damage Valkyr ignores before resistances are applied.
    • The amount of stored damage can be monitored at the top right of the HUD under Hysteria's ability icon.
    • Stored damage dealt bypasses shield gating and can kill instantly if too large.
      • This is currently bugged, and shield gate will block the damage.
    • Stored damage is reset upon swapping weapons.
    • Highlighted enemies become unmarked if Valkyr moves out of range, negating the damage taken when Hysteria expires.
    • Since enemies need line-of-sight, invisibility prevents the damage.
  • After activation, a percentage counter will appear on the ability icon. The percentage increases to 100% over the course of 40 seconds.
  • Hysteria is affected by and can trigger Warframe arcanes, ExodiaMight Exodia Might , and MeleeCrescendo Melee Crescendo (even though the benefit from exodia might is minimal and it does not share the same combo counter as the melee weapon thus not benefiting directly from Melee Crescendo).
  • While Hysteria is active, Valkyr can cast other abilities and use primary and secondary weapons. Switching weapons will disable Hysteria's effects, including making her vulnerable to damage again; it will also pause the energy cost increase but will continue to drain energy at the current rate.
  • Hysteria comes installed with its own unique stance. Additional combos will be unlocked as Hysteria increases in rank.
  • Has a cast time of 1 second, affected by Mod TT 20px Natural Talent.
  • Hysteria's attacks can damage enemies across the Rift Plane.
  • Some of the passives of the 2 Incarnon melee weapons work on Hysteria.

Melee Attack Explanations
  • A "sweep attack" is an arcing melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the edge of the blade (the length of obround melee hitbox).
  • A "thrust attack" is a melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the tip of the blade (the rounded edge of obround melee hitbox).
  • A "360/spin attack" is a sliding sweep attack that hits targets around the player (not always in a 360° arc, but is usually above 180°).
  • A "direct slam attack" is a melee strike that hits a single target at the epicenter of a slam attack.
  • A "radial slam attack" is the area-of-effect component of the melee slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod.
  • A "ranged attack" is any melee attack that launches a ranged projectile or can hit targets beyond melee range.
View Full Legend
  • Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single-target DPS calculations.
  • Note that hits marked as "Radial Slam Attack" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in Avg Dmg Multi/s calculations.
  • Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second.
  • Each tile marking in stance preview gifs are 2m apart.
  • Combos labeled with an asterisk (*) are shared between weapons within the same weapon type.

Augment

EnragedMod
Main article: Enraged

Enraged is a Warframe Augment Mod for ValkyrIcon272 Valkyr's Hysteria130xWhite Hysteria that increases its damage and critical chance but fixes its duration to 15 seconds and adds a matching cooldown. The base Energy cost is also increased to 50, while the Energy drain over time is removed.

Enraged


HystericalAssaultMod
Main article: Hysterical Assault

Hysterical Assault is a Warframe Augment/Exilus mod for ValkyrIcon272 Valkyr that allows her to pounce onto enemies while in Hysteria130xWhite Hysteria by meleeing while aiming, dealing damage on contact. It also provides brief Invulnerability when switching off her Valkyr Talons while in Hysteria.

Hysterical Assault

Tips & Tricks

  • There may be a dark red hue for the duration of Hysteria, making it difficult to see enemies. This is especially problematic if Infested Parasites are nearby.
    • Turning 'Color Correction' off in Options > Display can alleviate this issue.
  • Her invulnerability can be taken advantage of in reviving teammates in exchange for consuming energy and not attacking enemies with her powerful claws.
    • This can also be used to escape powerful opponents at the middle point of this ability. Allowing greater hit and run tactics.
  • It's preferable to use Mod TT 20px Steel Charge over Mod TT 20px Growing Power when modding for pure damage as the former adds more damage to Hysteria than the latter.
  • It's recommended to activate Melee Auto-targeting System in the options as Valkyr's awkward attack animations may miss a lot.
  • Players who suffer low FPS (Frames per second) may want to avoid attack speed boosts, such as Warcry, while using Hysteria. High attack speeds can result in a loss of DPS as melee attacks are "semi-automatic".
  • Heavy Attacks in Hysteria open enemies to Finishers, allowing you to reliably use the damage boost without spending energy on her Paralysis130xWhite Paralysis ability.
    • This finisher also knocks enemies down, allowing for a successive ground finisher for a quick burst of high damage.

Bugs

  • Using Hysteria the moment you are downed by enemies will cause you to bug. Sometimes, you will only be able to use your actual melee weapon, but it will swing as though it is your claws; Other times you will be able to use your other weapons, and all while being invincible. You must wait until the effect ends for the bug to clear.
  • Attacks outside the vulnerability radius of Hysteria are still counted to the damage received in the Hysteria status, however these additional points do no effect at the end of the duration.
  • If only a melee weapon is equipped in the player's loadout, casting Hysteria while holding either a Codex or Synthesis Scanner will cause Hysteria's attacks to instead use the equipped melee's quick-attacks, while also rendering both combos and blocking unusable.
