Passives are special traits possessed by Warframes and weapons and that provide them unique abilities or bonuses without requiring energy. Some Passives are always active while others may only activate upon a condition being satisfied. Passives are unique to each Warframe and weapon.

Warframe Passives[]

Edit

Ash

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.

Edit

Atlas

Wielding explosive power and incredible stamina, AtlasIcon272 Atlas strengthens his insurmountable durability through battle. Atlas possesses various passive mechanics highlighted in the tabs below:

Strong as the mountain, Atlas is immune to Knockdown b Knockdown while in contact with the ground.

  • Knockdown immunity does not apply while in the air.
  • Does not apply to pushback effects.
  • Does not prevent the recoiling effect from firing powerful Archguns such as Corvas Corvas, Velocitus Velocitus, and Larkspur Larkspur in non-Archwing missions.

Rubble is a pickup item unique to Atlas that drops from petrified enemies and Rumblers130xWhite Rumblers on death. Rubble restores Health to Atlas if he is injured; if Atlas is at full health, Rubble instead grants additional Armor that decays over time.

AtlasRubblePickup

A piece of Rubble

  • Each petrified enemy and each Rumbler will drop 1 piece of Rubble that restores 50 health or provides 50 armor. Rubble will remain on the ground for 30 seconds before crumbling away if left untouched.
    • Enemies petrified by Mod TT 20px Path of Statues' rock trail, Petrify's flash, and the summoning of Rumblers are eligible to drop Rubble.
    • Petrified enemies killed by Landslide130xWhite Landslide grant 75 health or armor from their dropped Rubble.
    • Rumblers that sustain damage to their health will grant less health points or bonus armor from their dropped Rubble.
    • Rubble will not grant armor if at least 1 health point is missing from Atlas' maximum health pool. Excess health points gained will not overflow into bonus armor points.
  • Rubble armor is displayed in a circular gauge on the HUD above the ability icons.
    • The current number of bonus armor is shown below the gauge and will visibly subtract as bonus armor decays or add as Atlas picks up new Rubble.
    • Armor bonus is capped at 1,500 points.
    • Bonus armor decays at a rate of 5 armor points per second.
    • Upon picking up Rubble to gain bonus armor, bonus armor decay is paused for 2 seconds. Picking up Rubble to restore health points will not pause armor decay.
    • Bonus armor will not be lost if the player falls out of bounds, but will be lost in the event of a host migration.
    • The stone icon in the center of the gauge will enlarge or shrink depending on the amount of bonus armor stored. At 0 bonus armor, it remains a pebble; at 1,500 bonus armor, it becomes a large boulder.
    • Rock formations will appear on Atlas' body as he accumulates bonus armor.
  • Rubble pickup can be Mod TT 20px vacuumed by Sentinels or the Warframe's innate vacuum radius, or Mod TT 20px fetched by Companions.
  • Rubble pickups resemble a piece of stone encased in a translucent layer of reflective rock-shaped metal, which is tinted in Atlas' chosen Warframe energy color.
  • Rubble pickups spawned when a petrified enemy or Rumbler dies while airborne will fall to the ground.

RubbleHeapMod

Edit

Banshee

All of BansheeIcon272 Banshee's equipped weapons, including Gunblades such as Redeemer Redeemer, and weapons equipped on Sentinels should they be present, are treated as silent.

Edit

Baruuk

BaruukIcon272 Baruuk's tolerance for violence wanes as his hand is forced by his foes. Restraint is a resource unique to Baruuk that provides up to 50% Damage Reduction when the meter is completely depleted.

  • Restraint meter is displayed in the lower-right on the HUD, above the ability icons.
  • Restraint meter starts fully filled, and is depleted using Baruuk's abilities:
    • Each attack evaded through Elude130xWhite Elude erodes 1.2% from the meter.
    • Each enemy affected by Lull130xWhite Lull erodes 0.8% from the meter.
    • Each enemy disarmed by DesolateHands130xWhite Desolate Hands erodes 1.6% from the meter.
  • Baruuk's fourth ability SereneStorm130xWhite Serene Storm utilizes Restraint instead of Energy to cast and maintain. Using this ability refills Restraint meter by 4% on activation and by 0.8% per second until the ability is deactivated.
    • Restraint can still erode from using Baruuk's other abilities during this ability.

Edit

Caliban

Versatile and resilient, CalibanIcon Caliban and allies within his Affinity Range gain Adaptive Armor that builds damage resistance against the highest damage type received from enemy attacks, stacking 5% per hit up to a cap of 50%. If Caliban or his allies do not receive damage for 5 seconds, their Adaptive Armor loses 2% per second until fully removed.

  • Passive bonus value is displayed as a Buff icon beside Caliban's hitpoint indicators.
  • Passive values are not affected by Mods.
  • Damage over time from procs (such as DmgSlashSmall64 Slash or DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin for example) will not contribute nor maintain damage resistance.
  • Damage reduction effects such as those of Mod TT 20px Adaptation do not stack with Adaptive Armor. The damage reduction provided to Caliban (or his allies) equipped with Adaptation will be the higher of the two values.
  • Unlike Mod TT 20px Adaptation, his passive only triggers off actual damage taken. Damage taken while invulnerable, or damage that is blocked, will neither contribute nor maintain damage resistance.

Edit

Chroma

ChromaIcon272 Chroma possesses an extra midair jump and bullet jump. Wings matching Chroma's energy colors will form during these maneuvers.

Chroma can alter his abilities to match any basic (uncombined) elemental attribute of the player's choice. Customizing Chroma's primary emission color determines what abilities he starts with. Color choices are grouped into four categories with each category corresponding to a given element:

  • red, magenta, brown, orange and bright yellow hues being DmgFireSmall64 Heat
  • blue and purple hues being DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity
  • green, lime, teal and dark yellow hues being DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin;
  • white, grey, black, and some faded colors being DmgColdSmall64 Cold.

Note that players do not need to purchase color palettes to unlock the full potential of this trait.

While customizing his emission color, Chroma's active element is displayed in the form of an icon (DmgFireSmall64 Heat, DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity, DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin, DmgColdSmall64 Cold). This imgur album can serve as a reference for future color palette purchases.

Customizing the secondary emission and the energy colors will have no effect on Chroma's chosen element.

Abilities can be cycled mid-mission using SpectralScream130xWhite Spectral Scream.

Edit

Ember

Reveling in the heat of combat, EmberIcon272 Ember gains 5% extra AbilityStrengthBuff Ability Strength for every enemy burning with an active DmgFireSmall64 Heat status effect within a 50 meters radius.

Edit

Equinox

When EquinoxIcon272 Equinox collects Health Orbs or Energy Orbs, 10% of the restored amount is converted into additional Energy and Health respectively.

  • EquinoxIcon272 Equinox's passive stacks additively with Mod TT 20px Equilibrium, for a total conversion of 120%.
  • Unlike Mod TT 20px Equilibrium, does not enable the pickup of orbs while their respective resource pool is full, even for the purpose of conversion.
    • This is likely an oversight, not an intentional design decision.
  • The effect of ArcanePulse Arcane Pulse does not apply to health from converted energy orbs.
  • The effects of ArcaneEnergize Arcane Energize and FocusEnergyPulse Energy Pulse do not apply to energy from converted health orbs.

Equinox can shift between two forms to alter her abilities: the offensive-focused Day-Form or the defensive/supportive-focused Night-Form. Customizing Equinox's primary emission color determines what form she starts with:

  • Bright hues change default form to Day-Form;
  • Dark hues change default form to Night-Form.

Note that players do not need to purchase color palettes to unlock the full potential of this trait.

While customizing her emission color, Equinox's active form is displayed in the form of an icon. Upon changing colors, her combined form in Arsenal preview will also change her stance animation to reflect the chosen form's personality.

Customizing the secondary emission and the energy colors will have no effect.

Forms and abilities can be cycled mid-mission using Metamorphosis130xWhite Metamorphosis.

Edit

Excalibur

ExcaliburIcon272 Excalibur has improved mastery in the Tenno art of the blade, receiving +10% Attack Speed and +10% damage bonuses for melee attacks while wielding the following weapons:

Excalibur UmbraIcon272 Excalibur Umbra exhibits sentience, allowing him to remain active in combat even when a player uses Operator form, acting similarly to a Specter.

  • Umbra can receive damage and healing in his specter form. Health and shields lost in his specter form will not be restored upon returning to Umbra unless all of Umbra's health is depleted.
  • Once all of Umbra's health is depleted, he will stop moving or attacking.
    • The player does not die or lose a revive, however, if Umbra's health is depleted.
  • Umbra can use any equipped weapon and most abilities, which will take into account any mods installed.
  • When enemies come within 3 meters of Umbra, he will automatically switch to the equipped melee weapon.
    • If no melee weapon is equipped, Umbra will not attack enemies who approach him, but will still cast abilities.
  • Umbra's weapons will still expend ammo reserves normally. Umbra is capable of looting ammo pickups, and will actively search for them should his ammo reserves be depleted.
    • Depleting all ammo reserves displays a red ammunition icon above Umbra's head.
    • Squad Ammo Restores will replenish ammo but only if the player is in range, even if Umbra himself is in range.
  • If Umbra falls down a bottomless pit while in Specter mode, he will not be teleported back and will remain missing until players return to Warframe mode.

Radial Blind is also replaced with Radial Howl:

  • Freezing chance and duration are not affected by mods.

BitingFrostMod

Edit

Gara

While standing in light, GaraIcon272 Gara's glass body has a chance to RadialBlind130xDark Blind enemies within 12 meters for 10 seconds, exposing them to Melee Finisher attacks.

  • Can affect Eximus units while Overguard is active.
  • Can affect enemies inside a nullifier bubble.
  • Enemies must be within line of sight of Gara to be blinded, but do not have to face toward Gara.
  • Can refresh blind duration on currently blinded enemies when the passive procs again.
  • Affects enemies crystallized by MassVitrify130xWhite Mass Vitrify.
  • Melee finisher damage benefits from the damage multipliers of SplinterStorm130xWhite Splinter Storm and Mass Vitrify.

Edit

Garuda

The more GarudaIcon272 Garuda kills the more vicious her attacks become; Garuda gains up to 100% additional damage bonus for her abilities and weapons for each kill or assisted kill.

  • Damage bonus increases by 5% per kill.
  • After not killing for 5 seconds, the damage bonus decays by 1% per 2 seconds.
    • If Garuda is inside an ability-nullifying field, such as those of the Nullifier Crewman, the decay will begin after 1 second between kills at a rate of 2% per 1 second.
  • In Landscapes, killing enemies while in Archwing also raises the damage bonus. However, kills on K-Drive do not.
    • The buff does not work while on Archwing or K-Drive, however, only when Garuda dismounts and resumes fighting on foot (needs verification).
  • Kills made by Garuda while manning a Railjack turret, whether via direct fire or with abilities such as Mod TT 20px Seeker Volley, also contribute to raising the damage bonus.
  • Damage bonus is displayed above the ability bars as a red Garuda's iconic symbol.
  • Damage bonus is calculated independent of other damage sources.
  • Damage appears to stack multiplicatively, even with other multiplicative sources such as Roar130xWhite Roar and faction damage mods.
  • Every 5% of the gauge filled causes crimson red blood to splatter onto Garuda's body, helmet, and claws.

When no melee weapon is selected in the Arsenal loadout, GarudaTalons Garuda Talons (GarudaPrimeTalons Prime) become available in the Arsenal screen as an exclusive melee weapon that can be modified separately and equipped for combat during missions.

Unlike most Warframes, when Garuda ranks up she receives a special set of rank bonuses which are indicated at the top-left of the Warframe Upgrade screen:

  • +13% / +25% / +38% / +50% / +63% / +75% / +88% / +100% / +113% / +125% Energy capacity at ranks 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 / 15 / 18 / 21 / 24 / 27 / 30 respectively.
Garuda receives a total of +125% Energy capacity at Rank 30 instead of the usual +50% with all other Warframes.

Edit

Gauss

To achieve supersonic speed, GaussIcon272 Gauss draws upon both his Energy reserves and his state-of-the-art electrokinetic battery to fuel his abilities. Gauss has access to 80% of the battery in his default state; activating Redline130xWhite Redline grants access to 100% of the battery. The battery, displayed as a gauge meter above his ability icons, acts as a secondary resource that charges or drains depending on the ability he uses:

Passive

  • +~0.5% battery per meter as Gauss moves.
  • +?% battery per second while reviving an ally in Bleedout.
  • -3% battery if Gauss falls out of bounds.
  • -15% battery per second if Gauss stands in a Nullifier Crewman bubble.

MachRush130xWhite Mach Rush

  • +10% battery on cast.
  • +1% battery per enemy hit.

KineticPlating130xWhite Kinetic Plating

  • -1% battery per second while active.
  • -1%-5% battery per hit received.
  • +0.25% battery per melee hit to enemies.

ThermalSunder130xWhite Thermal Sunder

  • +10% battery on casting DmgColdSmall64 Cold.
  • -10% battery on casting DmgFireSmall64 Heat.

Redline130xWhite Redline

  • -2% battery per second while below 100% on the counter.
  • After Redline expires, the battery drains to the amount displayed on Redline counter (e.g. if the counter is at 20%, the battery will decrease to 20%).

The amount of battery stored amplifies Gauss's abilities:

  • Gauss passively gains bonus Shield recharge rate and shield recharge delay reduction for every point of battery stored in his gauge, up to a maximum of 120% for recharge rate and 80% for recharge delay when the battery is full.
  • Affects the damage reduction of KineticPlating130xWhite Kinetic Plating.
  • Affects the damage and status duration of ThermalSunder130xWhite Thermal Sunder.
  • Affects the fire rate, attack speed, reload speed, and casting speed bonuses, as well as the Redline counter and projectiles fired when above 80% battery, of Redline130xWhite Redline.
    • Additionally procs special effects of Thermal Sunder when above 80% battery and while Redline is active.

Edit

Grendel

Devouring his prey whole, GrendelIcon272 Grendel slowly digests the enemies he swallows via Feast130xWhite Feast. Each enemy still alive in Grendel's belly passively grants him 250 Armor, to a maximum of 1,250 bonus armor at the 5 enemy cap.

  • Passive bonus value is displayed above Grendel's ability icons.
  • Mod TT 20px Gourmand provides an additional 150 armor bonus per enemy at max rank to Grendel's passive, increasing the armor bonus to 400 per enemy and the total armor bonus to 2,000 at enemy cap.
  • Armor bonus is added after armor mods such as Mod TT 20px Steel Fiber. For example, Grendel with a rank 10 Steel Fiber and one enemy alive in his belly will have Total armor = (350 × (1 + 1.1)) + 250 = 985
  • Armor bonus adds or subtracts depending on the number of enemies currently residing in Grendel's stomach.

Edit

Gyre

GyreIcon272 Gyre's abilities gain a flat 10% Critical Chance per active DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity status proc affecting an individual enemy to deal 2.0x Critical Damage against that enemy.

  • Bonus stacks additively with CathodeGrace130xWhite Cathode Grace, increasing the overall ability critical chance at lower DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity status stack counts.
  • Passive and Cathode Grace combined provide up to a maximum of 300% ability critical chance.
    • From the passive alone, a minimum of 30 DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity procs will reach the capped ability critical chance.
  • Gyre's abilities can reach orange and red critical multipliers to inflict 3.0x and 4.0x ability critical damage.
    • From the passive alone, orange crits start at 11 stacks (110% crit chance) and red crits at 21 stacks (210% crit chance) respectively.
  • Helminth-subsumed abilities and Railjack turret abilities such as Mod TT 20px Seeker Volley do not benefit from Gyre's passive.
  • Unlike other frame procs, Gyre's ability DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity procs do not benefit from any bonuses such as DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity modifiers from Mod TT 20px Shock Trooper or faction modifiers like Roar130xWhite Roar and Damage Blessing.

Edit

Harrow

HarrowIcon272 Harrow possesses 200% Overshields capacity, granting him a maximum of 2,400 Overshields, and spawns into missions with 100% Energy filled.

Edit

Hildryn

HildrynIcon272 Hildryn utilizes her advanced Shielding systems to power all of her abilities. Although she has no Energy capacity, her shields boast additional passive benefits and defensive capabilities:

  • Hildryn's Shield Gating is more advanced than other Warframes, bolstering her defenses:
    • Overshields protect Hildryn's Health pool from damage types that normally bypass shields to directly affect health, such as DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage and Mod TT 20px Combat Discipline's health loss per kill.
    • Hildryn's Shield Gating grace period is 3.5 seconds when fully charged.
      • This passive is shared with ally Warframes and Companions when linked via Haven130xWhite Haven. Reset is dependent on the allies' own shield bar being fully replenished once protected by invulnerability.
      • This passive also works in Archwing combat.
  • All of Hildryn's abilities drain her Overshield and Shield points, as she lacks any energy capacity.
    • Ability Efficiency mods and abilities affect the shield costs of her abilities instead of energy costs.
    • Mods which convert energy spent on abilities to shields (such as Mod TT 20px Brief Respite or the Augur Mod Set) do not replenish shields.
  • Energy Orb pickups restore 25 shield points and instantly reset shield recharge delay.
    • Because Hildryn can still pick up energy orbs to restore shield, mods or arcanes that benefit from picking up energy, such as Mod TT 20px Equilibrium, Mod TT 20px Energy Conversion, and ArcaneEnergize Arcane Energize, still function.
      • However, ArcaneEnergize Arcane Energize has no effect on her, even though it can still trigger.
    • Increasing the effectiveness of Energy Orbs with an AmberArchonShard Amber Archon Shard also works with Hildryn, increasing the amount of shields gained per orb.
    • Can only pick up Energy Orbs when Hildryn's shield pool is not at or above maximum.
    • Shield points from Energy Orbs cannot create Overshields.
  • Hildryn's shield pool stat scales with Warframe rank differently than normal, gaining +25% shield capacity every 2 ranks instead of the usual +20% with all other Warframes, for a total of +250% shields at Rank 30 instead of the usual +200%.

Edit

Hydroid

Enemies damaged by HydroidIcon272 Hydroid are permanently more vulnerable to DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive Status, with initial status reducing armor by 50% rather than 26%, allowing Corrosive Status to reach 100% armor reduction at full stacks. As long as Hydroid has damaged the enemy, the Corrosive Status Effects can be applied from any source, not just from Hydroid's weapons or abilities, and will receive the benefit.

Affected enemies are marked with a translucent water-dripping DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive symbol over their head, and a splashing sound is played when a new enemy is affected. The symbol color is affected by Hydroid's chosen Warframe energy color.

Bosses are immune to the increased armor reduction from Hydroid's passive.

Edit

Inaros

Resurrect the undying king of the desert with the death of his foes. On fatal injury and entering Bleedout, InarosIcon272 Inaros enters an immobile Sarcophagus. Within his tomb, target an enemy or ally on the aiming reticle (default LMB ) to release a beam that continuously inflicts 75 DmgTrueSmall64 True damage per tick and siphon hitpoints from them, gradually filling his revive meter to allow Inaros to rise again. Alternatively, allies may manually revive Inaros by interacting with his Sarcophagus.

  • The revive meter is filled by 0.5% for every 1% of an enemy's combined health and shields removed. At least 2 enemies must be killed for Inaros to be revived.
    • If an ally kills the enemy targeted by Inaros, or kills other enemies within ? meters from his Sarcophagus, their deaths will contribute to Inaros' revive meter.
  • Siphoning from enemies will pull them toward Inaros. Siphoning from allies will only damage them.
  • Siphoning deals DmgTrueSmall64 True damage per tick, which ignores armor damage reduction. However, it is still subject to other damage resistances and shields.
    • Siphon damage is only affected by Mod TT 20px Provoked.
  • Mod TT 20px Undying Will and Renewal130xWhite Renewal will still function normally on Inaros' Sarcophagus.
  • FocusLensUnairu b Unairu's FocusLastGasp Last Gasp will not prompt on Inaros' Sarcophagus.
  • Inaros cannot use other weapons in his Sarcophagus.
  • The siphoning beam can be nullified from enemies such as Nullifier Crewman or Isolator Bursa.
  • Sarcophagus does not prevent Inaros from dying in Arbitrations; he will still enter the Sarcophagus animation before immediately dying.

Killing enemies with melee Finishers restores 20% of Inaros' maximum Health.

  • Applies to all finishers, including Ground Finishers and Parazon Mercy finishers.
  • Health restore is not affected by mods.
  • Inaros can reliably trigger melee finisher prompts by casting Desiccation130xWhite Desiccation.

Unlike most Warframes, when Inaros ranks up he receives a special set of rank bonuses which are indicated at the top-left of the Warframe Upgrade screen:

  • +15% / +30% / +45% / +60% / +75% / +90% / +105% / +120% / +135% / +150% Health at ranks 2 / 5 / 8 / 11 / 14 / 17 / 20 / 23 / 26 / 29 respectively.
This stacks with the normal health rank-up bonuses, granting +300% Health at Rank 30 instead of the usual +200% with all other Warframes.

Edit

Ivara

IvaraIcon272 Ivara's innate enemy Radar has a larger radius, detecting enemies and displaying their position on the minimap within 50 meters rather than the usual 30 meters. This effect stacks with (Mod TT 20px Primed) Mod TT 20px Animal Instinct, Mod TT 20px Enemy Radar, Mod TT 20px Enemy SenseMod TT 20px Stealth Drift, and Mod TT 20px Vigilante Pursuit.

This can stack to 191 meters, or more with squad members due to sharing the aura effect of Mod TT 20px Enemy Radar and mods that can affect the Aura like Mod TT 20px Coaction Drift.

Edit

Khora

For more information on Khora's Kavat, please refer to the tabs below and visit the Venari130xWhite Venari ability article.

Khora's ferocious Kavat, Venari, fights alongside her with steadfast zeal. Venari is an exclusive Companion for the KhoraIcon272 Khora Warframe, integrated as her signature passive ability. Venari will spawn beside Khora when the player first enters a mission, as a permanent companion that lasts until killed.

While Venari is alive, Khora passively gains a 15% movement speed boost. If Venari is killed, she will respawn beside Khora after 45 seconds, or instantly if summoned via the third ability for an energy cost. Both passive features are tied to Khora's Venari130xWhite Venari ability allowing her to be modified.

Additionally, Venari is an independent AI-controlled entity from Khora that possesses unique interactions:

  • Venari automatically becomes available for customization in the Arsenal by default, when Khora is equipped as the player's current Warframe.
  • Venari behaves similar to other Kavats. She will follow Khora and seek out nearby enemies to attack them with her bite and claws, occasionally performing wall attacks. Additionally, she can perform special effects based on her current battle posture.
    • Unlike Kavats or other companions, Venari can attack enemies banished by LimboIcon272 Limbo to the Rift Plane.
    • Venari does not perform parkour maneuvers unlike other Kavats and Kubrows.
    • Venari will teleport to Khora or her marked target if she is too far away.
    • Venari's position on the minimap is tracked via a blue Venari icon.
  • When killed, Venari will disappear and wait to respawn instead of entering Bleedout.
  • Venari's UI is displayed above Khora's ability icons on the HUD. Her UI consists of her ability icon, her name, the battle posture cycle selection wheel, the currently selected posture, and her Shield and Health bars.
    • Upon switching battle posture, the name of the selected posture will briefly appear beside Venari's icon on her UI.
    • While Venari is dead, her shield and health bars are hidden from view, as her respawn timer is displayed on the Venari130xWhite Venari ability icon.
  • Venari is not affected by OberonIcon272 Oberon's passive and Master'sSummons130xWhite Master's Summons.
  • Replacing Khora's third ability via Helminth will only remove the ability to mark targets for Venari, change her posture, and resummon her. Venari will still be present and boost Khora's movement speed while alive, due to being part of her passive.
    • Mod TT 20px Venari Bodyguard will still be unable to equipped despite its passive-style effects.
  • Additionally to Khora, Venari as well as her Prime counterpart also grant 6,000 mastery points, similar to other companions.
    • Venari and Venari Prime are however not listed on a player's profile.
  • On KhoraPrimeIcon272 Khora Prime, she is accompanied by Venari Prime, acting as a direct upgrade over Venari:
    • Higher Armor (450 vs. 350)
    • Higher Health (350/1,050 vs. 300/900)
    • Higher Damage (55 vs. 40)

In the Arsenal, the player can modify Venari via the Upgrade tab using Mods and Forma. Whether Khora was crafted or purchased, Venari always comes with a preinstalled Orokin Reactor for doubled mod capacity.

  • Venari and Khora both accumulate Affinity and level up in ranks separately.
  • Khora can equip a Companion and Venari simultaneously, due to Venari occupying her own loadout slot rather than the companion slot.
  • Can equip Kavat and Companion eligible mods, but cannot use unique Precept mods from other Kavat variants.
    • Is able to equip Hunter Set Mods, but they do not activate the set bonus nor display the set bonus on the mod descriptions.
  • Venari requires individual Forma for Polarization of her mod slots.
  • Venari is uniquely affected by the following mods:
    • Although Venari has no innate Shield points, she is able to gain a shield bar by equipping Mod TT 20px Link Redirection.

Limbo

Main article: Rift Plane

LimboIcon272 Limbo has access to the Rift plane (Rift for short), an alternate dimension to the normal environment, or material plane. By performing a Roll (default Shift ), a Sidespring (A  or D  + Shift ), or a Backspring (RMB  + S  + Shift ), Limbo slides into and out of the Rift at will. This is better known as Rift Walk. Several of Limbo's abilities impose the Rift upon the world around him, affecting himself, the environment, enemies, and even allies.

  • When sliding into the Rift, Limbo leaves a portal in his wake that lasts 5 seconds. Ally players can touch the portal to enter the Rift for 15 seconds, after which they will return to the material plane.
    • Allies can perform the aforementioned trigger maneuvers to return to the material plane sooner.
    • Limbo can use the portal himself to enter the Rift with no time limit, as if rift walking, and can remain indefinitely in either dimension.
      • Limbo's Companion will walk the same dimensional plane as its owner.

Nidus

The Infestation dwelling within NidusIcon272 Nidus mutates rapidly when used against his foes, fueling his abilities and yielding various symbiotic benefits. Nidus possesses various passive mechanics highlighted in the tabs below:

MutationGauge

Mutation gauge at 100 stacks.

Mutation Stacks are a resource unique to Nidus, indicated by the Mutation counter and gauge displayed in the lower-right on the HUD, above the ability icons.

  • The gauge is divided into 5 sections which represent the number of hits dealt to enemies via Nidus' abilities, while the counter at the center of the gauge keeps track of the number of Mutation stacks up to a maximum of 100.
    • When generating Mutation, the sections light up clockwise. Once all 5 sections have lit up, the gauge completes a cycle and the sections become unlit again, while the counter increases by 1 Mutation stack. The following abilities generate 1/5th of a Mutation stack:
      • Each enemy hit with Virulence130xWhite Virulence.
      • Each enemy hit by Ravenous130xWhite Ravenous' maggot explosion.
      • Each enemy killed from any source while held by Larva130xWhite Larva at a 50% chance.
      • Abilities are not required to deal damage to enemies, only ability contact is needed to increase Mutation stacks.
      • When gaining or losing large numbers of stacks, the gauge only changes one at a time, making it difficult to estimate the actual count.
        • This can be bypassed by briefly switching to the Operator, as this will instantly refresh to the current amount of stacks.
    • Mutation stacks are stored until used by the player. Stacks will not disappear in the event of a host migration.
    • Ability-nullifying enemies such as Nullifier Crewman will drain 1 Mutation stack every 2 seconds, ramping up the drain rate the longer Nidus remains in their radius.
    • Each Mutation stack causes the gauge to gradually appear more infested, and upon reaching 100 stacks the counter is hidden and the gauge is overlapped by Virulence's ability icon colored in red and black.
  • The amount of Mutation stacks stored benefits Nidus' abilities:
    • Increases the damage of Virulence and Ravenous' maggot explosion.
    • ParasiticLink130xWhite Parasitic Link costs 1 stack to activate instead of using energy.
    • Ravenous costs 3 stacks to activate instead of using energy.
  • Nidus' appearance changes as more stacks are collected:
    • With the base skin:
      • At 3 stacks, tendrils will protrude from his neck and upper spine, while the carapace around his ribs will open.
      • At 5 and 7 stacks respectively, the carapace around his thighs and arms will open to reveal more infested flesh and tendrils beneath.
      • At 10 stacks, certain sections of his currently-equipped helmet will open up.
        • With the base helmet, the sides of his head extend outward to form a pair of horns, also exposing many more tendrils.
        • With the Nidus Prion Helmet, the "mouth" and the ligature open up, revealing Void-like energy underneath.
        • With the Nidus Myxini Helmet, the helmet opens up down the middle to reveal a monstrous mouth-like face.
    • With the Nidus Phryke Skin:
      • At 3 stacks, he gains protective armor on his thighs, and his shoulder pads are covered in a cage-like armor with a protruding spike on the top.
      • At 5 stacks, a large curved blade appears on each of the shoulder pad spikes.
      • At 7 stacks, his forearms are lined with a curved blade that extends two large spikes.
      • At 10 stacks, his face becomes covered with a crown-like visor.
    • With NidusPrimeIcon272 Nidus Prime:
      • At 3 stacks, black tendrils form on the left side of his face, as well as his entire left arm.
      • At 5 stacks, the tendrils extend to cover his chest and back.
      • At 7 stacks, the right side of his fleshy body becomes covered in a black mass as the golden metallic spikes on his right arm protrude outward, while tendrils form on his lower body.
      • At 10 stacks, the tendrils extend to cover his entire face and thighs.
    • When stacks fall below the required triggers, Nidus' appearance will revert to the appropriate stage.

If Nidus suffers fatal damage with at least 15 stacks of Mutation, Nidus will consume the 15 stacks to avoid bleedout while receiving 5 seconds of invulnerability and restoring 50% of his health.

  • A UI banner displaying "Undying" and an invulnerability timer will appear at the top-center of the screen while this passive is activated. The required amount of Mutation stacks will be visibly subtracted from the counter and gauge.
  • If Nidus has fewer than 15 Mutation stacks, all stacks will be consumed without benefit.
  • If Nidus has 15 or more stacks while Mod TT 20px Quick Thinking is equipped, Undying will be given a higher priority, triggering before any energy is drained by Quick Thinking.

AbundantMutationMod
Main article: Abundant Mutation

Abundant Mutation is a Warframe Augment Mod for NidusIcon272 Nidus' passive that increases the amount of max stacks that he can carry but adds a cooldown of 30 seconds to his Undying passive.

Death and rebirth unending. On fatal injury and entering Bleedout, SevagothIcon272 Sevagoth's body petrifies into a broken tombstone as his Shadow manifests itself. Control the Shadow to collect the souls of 5 enemies by casting Consume130xWhite Consume via the ability, quick melee, or fire weapon buttons with a targeted enemy on the aiming reticle (default 2 , E  and LMB  respectively), reviving Sevagoth upon a full harvest. Alternatively, allies may manually revive Sevagoth by interacting with his tombstone.

  • While the passive is activated, a soul counter appears above Sevagoth's ability icons indicating the number of remaining enemies required to revive Sevagoth, as well as a bleedout gauge that counts down toward his death. If ExaltedShadow130xWhite Exalted Shadow is unlocked, the Death Well is replaced by the soul counter until Sevagoth revives.
  • Sevagoth's Shadow summoned by the passive is still vulnerable to damage and status effects. It utilizes its equipped Mods and Arcanes, but cannot cast its other abilities. Beware, should the Shadow die, Sevagoth will also truly die, but only in Solo mode. In Co-op, his Shadow simply vanishes, and his tombstone will remain for the rest of his bleedout timer, still available to be revived by his allies.
  • Consume130xWhite Consume is altered to cost no Energy to cast and inflicts armor and shield-bypassing damage equal to the target's total hitpoints, instantly killing non-boss enemies.
  • Although ShadowClaws Shadow Claws cannot be used to directly attack, Sevagoth's Shadow can still block incoming frontal damage (default hold RMB ) to prolong its durability until the soul harvest is complete.

  • While controlling Sevagoth's Shadow via the passive ability and ExaltedShadow130xWhite Exalted Shadow, the player's HUD fades into a monochrome tint with vaporous visual effects animating along the edges. The Shadow itself visually resides at the eyes of twin storms of darkness that follow from above and below, while a dark fog shrouds the environment in the distance.
    • Due to the Shadow's bulk, the player's camera angle is set to a different attach point than Warframes.
  • The Shadow can perform all Warframe Maneuvers as well as interactions such as hacking, picking up collectibles such as Ayatan Treasures and Granum Crowns, and reviving allies from Bleedout.
    • The Shadow uses custom double jump and dodge animations, where it spins and twirls in a full rotation as it moves toward the input direction.
    • However, the Shadow cannot pick up carriables such as Mobile Defense datamasses or Excavation power cells, and cannot interact with Sevagoth's Tombstone to revive himself.
  • The Shadow cannot use Gear items or perform Emotes.

    • The stance's rank for Shadow Claws corresponds to the ability rank of Exalted Shadow on Sevagoth.
  • Shadow Claws' colors automatically match the Appearance loadout of Sevagoth's Shadow.

Upgrade

  • The Shadow's abilities, Embrace130xWhite Embrace, Consume130xWhite Consume, and DeathsHarvest130xWhite Death's Harvest drain Energy from the Shadow's own energy pool to cast.
  • The equipped Aura on the Shadow is only active during ExaltedShadow130xWhite Exalted Shadow and while Sevagoth is bleeding out in his tombstone. This seems to deactivate the Aura equipped on Sevagoth (only one aura seems to be active at a time).

    • Elongated spikes protrude from its spine, while the spinal cord act as a tail.
    • Sevagoth's upper and lower limbs as well as his main body are missing, replaced by flowing shadows and ghostly vapor that emanate from the Shadow.

    • Knockdowns, staggers, and temporary stuns such as DmgImpactSmall64 Impact and DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity status effects do not count as incapacitation.
    • Damage bonus applies multiplicatively to total damage, according to this formula: Damage × (1 + 0.25)
    • Damage bonus applies a second time on status damage, if the damaging status effect is applied while an enemy is incapacitated.
      • For example, with a weapon that inflicts 100 damage per shot, that procs a slash status, Vauban's passive will increase the damage per tick from the slash to: 0.35 × 100 × (1 + 0.25) × (1 + 0.25) = 54.6875.
      • The damage bonus is multiplicative to faction bonus damage and to Minelayer130xWhite Minelayer's Overdriver buff. For example, with a Vauban modded with maxed Mod TT 20px Intensify, and a weapon that inflicts 100 damage per shot, modded with maxed Mod TT 20px Serration, maxed Mod TT 20px Bane of Corrupted, that procs a slash status, on an incapacitated corrupted enemy, Vauban's passive will increase the damage per tick from the slash to: 0.35 × 100 × (1 + 1.65) × (1 + 0.3) × (1 + 0.3) × (1 + 0.25 × (1 + 0.3)) × (1 + 0.25) × (1 + 0.25) = 324.5163.
      • If a damaging status effect is applied before the enemy hit is incapacitated, the damage bonus will apply only once. Similarly, the damage bonus for damaging status effects on an enemy is lost should the enemy no longer be incapacitated.

    • Damage is not affected by Ability Strength.
    • Static Discharge does not combine with single elements or elemental mods on weapons, the bonus DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity damage type remains separate.
    • Is not affected by damage mods (e.g. Mod TT 20px Serration) or elemental mods (e.g. Mod TT 20px Stormbringer).

    Shifting their pieces unpredictably, XakuIcon272 Xaku has a 25% Dodge chance to harmlessly phase through incoming enemy weapon attacks, while protected by a 25% Damage Reduction against area of effect damage. Passive dodge chance and area damage reduction both raise to 75% while TheVastUntime130xWhite The Vast Untime is activated.

    • Passive values are not affected by Mods.
    • Enemy attacks affected by the dodge passive include hitscan, bullets, projectiles, and melee attacks. Explosions that occur near Xaku are not dodged, instead Xaku will receive damage reduction against them.
    • Evasion (such as from Mod TT 20px Agility Drift) and Xaku's dodge chances are separate mechanics that do not stack.
    • Does not affect DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage and procs.

    Yareli

    Everflowing with the seas, whenever YareliIcon272 Yareli moves for at least 1.5 seconds, she gains the Critical Flow buff that increases Critical Chance on her secondary Weapon by 200%. Critical Flow lasts until Yareli stops moving for 1 second.

    • Critical Flow additively stacks with other pistol critical chance mods such as Mod TT 20px Pistol Gambit to increase the secondary weapon's base critical chance stat.
    • The condition of movement to activate and sustain Critical Flow involves the player's input of the movement keys (default WASD ), falling from heights, or certain Maneuvers such as Bullet Jumping, Aim Gliding, and Wall Latching. Object-induced movement such as riding an elevator do not trigger Yareli's passive.
    • Merulina130xWhite Merulina's innate K-Drive drifting momentum helps activate and maintain Yareli's passive.

    Zephyr

    Striking from the skies above, ZephyrIcon272 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 Mod TT 20px Anchored Glide.
