This page is in reference to the Damage 2.0 system.

The chance that a hit will apply a Status Effect based on the types of damage the weapon inflicts.

Values over 100% have a chance to inflict multiple Status Effects at once.

> Chance for each Status Effect type per hit:

A Status Effect, or commonly called a Proc, is an additional effect which may be triggered at random by a hit from a weapon or Warframe ability. Status Chance is the probability that a hit will inflict a status effect. The base duration of the Proc will depend on its type, and whether the target is an enemy or another Tenno. Warframe abilities usually have a high chance to proc, or in some cases, greater than or equal to 100% chance to inflict their status effect (e.g. FrostIcon272 Frost's IceWave130xWhite Ice Wave ability).

Each damage type is associated with a status effect. Weapons that deal multiple damage types will have a separate chance to inflict its associated status effect on a target, and only one damage type can proc per hit, unless status chance is over 100%.

For example, a weapon such as an unmodified Staticor Staticor deals solely DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation damage. In addition to its damage, the Staticor also has a 28% status chance on each shot to cause a proc. On a successful proc, the enemy will receive the Radiation status effect, which causes Confusion over the duration of the effect.

Enemies also possess the ability to inflict status effects on Tenno. For example, a Grineer Scorch has a chance to inflict the Ignited status effect with the DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage from his Ignis Ignis. Similarly, enemies are also able to inflict physical procs such as Bleeding (associated with DmgSlashSmall64 Slash damage) bypassing the player's armor. Several Warframe abilities will grant immunity to status, (e.g. OberonIcon272 Oberon's HallowedGround130xWhite Hallowed Ground ability). Any amount of overguard will grant immunity as well.

Empyrean[]

Empyrean gamemode and Railjacks use a slightly altered system of the currently existing damage system. Archguns and Archmelees deal 90.91% (10/11) reduced damage to space enemies (or 9.09% of its arsenal damage) while Railjack Armaments and Tactical mods deal their full listed damage to them before accounting for hit point resistances and vulnerabilities.

Primary physical and elemental damage types have different status effects against space enemies outlined in the chart below. Secondary elemental damage types (DmgBlastSmall64 Blast, DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive, DmgGasSmall64 Gas, DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic, DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation, and DmgViralSmall64 Viral) do not have altered status effects and cannot proc against space enemies, but Archguns and Archmelees modded for secondary elementals will still increase total damage.

This system does not apply to on-foot enemies, such as Ramsled boarding parties, and Crewship and Points of Interest personnel, who will take damage and status as per normal.

Damage Type Empyrean-only Status Effects
DmgImpactSmall64 Impact Concuss
Crew within a gunship have reduced aim and damage for 6 seconds. Additional procs refresh duration.
DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture Decompress

DmgColdSmall64 Cold Immobilize
Target ship's weapons are disabled and it slows down to a complete stop. Lasts for 6 seconds. Additional procs refresh duration.
DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity Scramble
Target ship spirals erratically for 6 seconds, being unable to attack while moving in a straight line. Additional procs refresh duration.
DmgFireSmall64 Heat Sear
Target ship receives damage over time for 6 seconds. Additional procs increase damage dealt over time.
DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin Intoxicate
Target ship attacks any closest enemy and will be attacked in return for 12 seconds. Additional procs refresh duration.

Status Chance[]

Status chance can be a key factor in deciding on a weapon of choice. Some effects are very powerful responses to certain enemies, while others may be less beneficial. For example, DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive procs are valued highly against heavily armored foes, but DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic procs have no benefit to enemies that lack shields or overguard.

The chance that a proc will occur can be directly increased with mods such as Mod TT 20px Rifle Aptitude. One can also increase the number of projectiles fired through multishot mods such as Mod TT 20px Split Chamber; this effectively increases the opportunities for an enemy to be procced per a given attack, and is reflected in the weapon's attributes box in the Arsenal screen, but does not change the status chance for each individual hit. Another indirect way of increasing the amount of procs is to increase fire rate, this also doesn't change the likelihood that a proc will occur per hit, but increases the number of possible procs in a given time frame.

When a weapon achieves a status chance higher than 100%, each hit may apply additional status effects. The type of each proc is independently drawn, so it is possible to apply the same status several times in one hit.

Damage Distribution[]

Damage procs will occur in proportion to the amount of base damage dealt by each of the present damage types on the weapon. For example, an unmodded Strun Strun's highest physical damage type is DmgImpactSmall64 Impact, thus it inflicts mostly knockback procs.

Increasing the physical or elemental damage of a weapon does not increase the duration of the associated proc (e.g. enemies won't be confused longer if DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation damage is increased).

When a hit procs, the chance for an individual damage type to proc in relation to the others is:

Proc Type Chance = Damage ÷ Total Damage

For example, if a weapon's damage is composed of 20 DmgImpactSmall64 Impact, 5 DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture, 10 DmgSlashSmall64 Slash, 25 DmgFireSmall64 Heat, and 50 DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive, then its total damage is 20 + 5 + 10 + 25 + 50 = 110. Therefore, the chance for the individual damage types to proc will be:

Impact Puncture Slash Heat Corrosive
Damage 20 5 10 25 50
Proc Type Chance 18.18% 4.55% 9.09% 22.73% 45.45%

Status Immunity Interactions[]

Proc type chances are not altered by enemy resistances or weaknesses to the damage components used in their computation; however, they are modified by enemy status immunities. When an attack procs a status effect on an enemy which is immune to a particular proc type, the respective damage type is excluded from proc type chance calculations for status effects on that enemy.

For example, if the weapon outlined above were used against an enemy with Corrosion status immunity (regardless of whether that enemy is also immune to DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive damage), the chances for the individual damage types to proc would change to the following values:

Impact Puncture Slash Heat Corrosive
Damage 20 5 10 25 50
Proc Type Chance 33.33% 8.33% 16.67% 41.67% N/A

DoT Damage Scaling[]

If the initial hit is affected by the following, a resulting, damage-dealing effect will also benefit accordingly:

Bleed per tick = 100 × (1 + Mod TT 20px 1.65) × 0.35 × (1 + Mod TT 20px 0.3) ^2 = 156.7475

Status Duration[]

Status effects have a duration over which they apply to their target, and some of them even deal damage over time. A status effect's duration can be increased or decreased with mods that affect status duration (e.g. Mod TT 20px Lasting Sting).

Damage-dealing status effects will benefit from modifiers on headshots and critical hits.

Damage duration can be negative (over -100% duration through Riven Mods). This causes all proc effects which have a duration or deal damage over time to be nullified. All instant procs or those who deal instant damage occur. The collapsed table shows this in more detail:

Negative duration effects

Note: The information above is based on this forum post from EDFScout and may need further confirmation. Non-consistent observations as mentioned in the post have been changed to the more likely effect, i.e. for impact stagger should not appear, but knockback, and for electricity stun should not be triggered.

Damage Over Time[]

Status effects that deal damage over time will have a base duration of 6 seconds, during which they will deal a tick of damage for every second that the effect is active. AoE status effects, such as DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity and DmgGasSmall64 Gas will always start dealing damage ticks the moment it is procced on an enemy. Single target status effects will have a 1 second delay before dealing their damage ticks. The table below illustrates this mechanic.

Forced Procs[]

This article/section contains unofficial information, concepts, or terminology derived from or based on community discussion, invention, or knowledge. It may be subjective and contain information or terminology that is not used by Digital Extremes or in official WARFRAME communications, and may not be an officially recognized concept.

Forced procs[1] are status effects that are guaranteed to occur regardless of the status chance and damage distribution of the weapon. They are independent from normally occurring procs which can also take place alongside forced procs.

Note that this is not the same as having 100% status chance.

Forced procs have negative interactions with some warframe abilities such as Zephyr's Tornado where forced procs do not apply to enemies caught within the tornados, and instead apply to the tornados themselves.

Multishot[]

When firing multiple pellets in a single attack, the status chance on a listed weapon in the Arsenal is the probability that each pellet will individually proc. For example, the StrunWraith Strun Wraith displays a 12% status chance, so each of its ten pellets has a 12% chance to individually proc.

Average Procs[]

When you might apply more than one kind of status effect, or the applied effect is one which benefits from multiple applications in the same shot (e.g. DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive procs), it is helpful to know the average quantity of status effects triggered per shot (i.e. from a single click of the fire button). This value can be determined with the following formula:

Average Number of Procs Per Shot = Multishot × (Number of Forced Procs + Status Chance per Projectile)

Average Number of Procs per Second = Average Number of Procs Per Shot × Fire Rate

A table with example values to display the relation of status chance and multishot.

20 150% 100% 99% 80% 30 20 19.8 16

Continuous Weapons[]

Despite Continuous Weapons firing only one beam after adding multishot (with damage instances merged), it will still proc status effects as if more than one projectile was visually present. This means that multishot benefits the average status chance of continuous weapons like any other weapon.

Status Mods[]

Status chance mods affect the base status chance of the weapon, i.e. the status chance value displayed in the Codex that is the probability, for the unmodded weapon, that each projectile will inflict a status effect.

Status Immunity[]

Players can achieve temporary total status immunity by equipping the below mods or using these abilities. For immunity towards individual status effects, please navigate towards the respective damage type page. Status immunity prevents new status effects from being applied to players, but does not remove existing status effects.

Note that sources of Invulnerability and Overguard also protect against status effects.

Sources of Status Immunity[]

Info

  • Expend EnergyOrb50 Energy to cleanse active Status Effects and become immune to the next AbilityStrengthBuff10 status effects.
  • Does not remove status effects that were obtained during the casting animation.
  • There is no grace period or delay between charge use, making them deplete rapidly sometimes.
  • Cannot be recast while active.

Info

  • Inaros summons the desert sands and sacred scarabs, offering his Health as a sacrifice to gain Scarab Shell, increasing his base armor by up to AbilityStrengthBuff350 and gaining immunity to Status Effects. While charging Scarab Shell, Inaros loses 25 health points for every 1% of converted additional bonus armor, for a total of 2,500 health lost to fully charge the armor. The armor buildup will end once the bonus armor is fully filled, Inaros only has 2 points of health left, or the ability is manually deactivated. The shell loses 5% armor upon negating a status effect, otherwise it lasts indefinitely until Inaros suffers a lethal hit.
    • While the armor bonus is active, a stylized armor bonus counter appears above the ability icons.
    • Scarab Shell is not dispelled from falling out-of-bounds or entering an ability nullification zone such as Nullifier Crewman bubbles.
    • Scarab Shell status immunity does not prevent Mod TT 20px Negation Armor's DmgSlashSmall64 Slash proc.
  • Charging Scarab Shell takes 4.67 seconds in total, not affected by Casting Speed.
  • Inaros can move, but cannot cast other abilities, use weapons, or perform parkour Maneuvers or general interactions while channeling this ability.

Purifying himself from all ailments, LavosIcon272 Lavos cleanses all active negative Status Effects and gains status immunity for 10 seconds upon collecting an Energy or Universal Orb. Picking up an Energy or Universal Orb has a cooldown of 5 seconds.

  • Buff duration is renewed to full upon collecting a new orb.
  • Valence Block buff icon and timer are shown beside Lavos' shield and health indicators.
  • While activated, three serpent-like energy particle effects encircle Lavos' body.
  • If Lavos is injured with missing health, Universal Orbs are collectible to heal him with no cooldown period in between.
  • When Lavos' Companion is equipped with Mod TT 20px Synth Fiber, all nearby Health and Universal Orbs will be collected, bypassing Lavos' innate orb pickup cooldown entirely.

Stats and Modding[]

LavosIcon272 Lavos has no energy capacity and his abilities do not use any resource to activate. Instead, each of his abilities are free to cast with a cooldown in between uses. The EnergyOrb Ability Efficiency stat will instead affect the cooldown reduction effect from TransmutationProbe130xWhite Transmutation Probe and Mod TT 20px Swift Bite.

  • 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.
  • Because Lavos can still pick up energy orbs, 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.
  • Subsumed abilities injected into Lavos via the Helminth system will cost 0 energy, but instead incur a 10 second cooldown after cast and disable the elemental imbuement hold-function (see below) associated with the ability button.
    • On non-recastable abilities (e.g. Roar130xWhite Roar), the cooldown begins after the ability's duration expires, unless modded with an augment that allows it to be recastable (e.g. Mod TT 20px Piercing Roar).
    • On channeled abilities (e.g. Gloom130xWhite Gloom), they instead have a AbilityDurationBuff12 second base duration.

The AbilityDurationBuff Ability Duration stat will also affect the Status Duration stat uniquely innate to Lavos, which extends or shortens the duration of all status effects created by Lavos using his weapons and abilities.

Elemental Imbuement[]

Experiment and unleash volatile mixtures of the deadly elements. Hold down one of the four ability buttons (default 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ) to imbue a Primary Elemental damage type (DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin, DmgColdSmall64 Cold, DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity, and DmgFireSmall64 Heat respectively) into the mixing vial displayed above Lavos' ability icons. Imbuement has no cost nor cooldown between uses.

  • Elemental imbuement is available by default to Lavos at Warframe Rank 0 without requiring his abilities to be fully unlocked.
  • Primary Elements are shown in the four smaller diamond-shaped icons below the mixing vial. When an ability button is held down, its diamond icon is briefly highlighted until the element is mixed in.
  • Combine with a different element to produce a Secondary Elemental damage type: DmgBlastSmall64 Blast (2 +4 ), DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive (1 +3 ), DmgGasSmall64 Gas (1 +4 ), DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic (2 +3 ), DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation (3 +4 ), and DmgViralSmall64 Viral (1 +2 ).
    • Inputs can be in any order, or the hotkeys can be held down together to instantly produce a Secondary Elemental damage type.
  • The Imbued Primary or Secondary Element is shown in the vial with a colorcoded emblem and plays a unique sound effect upon mixing.
  • With an element in the mixing vial, Lavos' next ability cast drains the vial to add the Primary or Secondary Elemental damage type, onto the chosen ability dealing an extra instance of damage and status proc.
    • The same Primary Elemental damage type can be imbued onto an ability that already inflicts that damage type (e.g. OphidianBite130xWhite Ophidian Bite imbued with DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin, VialRush130xWhite Vial Rush imbued with DmgColdSmall64 Cold, etc) to double the damage and status proc.
    • Imbued Primary Elemental damage types do not merge with the ability's innate damage type.
    • Non-damaging status effects inflicted by all of Lavos' abilities (DmgColdSmall64 Cold, DmgBlastSmall64 Blast, DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive, DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic, DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation, and DmgViralSmall64 Viral) will proc 3 stacks in a single application of elemental status.
    • Lavos' mixing vial is only cleared of its elemental contents upon imbuing an ability.
    • Elements can be imbued even if Lavos cannot use the ability.
  • Imbuement is only available from Lavos' original abilities, therefore a subsumed ability replacement from the Helminth system will disable the associated element on the ability button.
    • Imbuement also cannot be applied onto subsumed abilities.
<tabber>

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

  • +20 Health every three ranks, starting at rank 1.
  • +10 Shield every three ranks, starting at rank 2.
  • +10 Armor every three ranks, starting at rank 3.

At rank 30, this results in a total of:

  • +200 Health
  • +100 Shield
  • +100 Armor

Misc:

1 s (invulnerability duration on break)

Info

  • Nezha expends EnergyOrb75 energy to summon a fiery ring that encircles him, granting immunity to Status Effects and 90% Damage Redirection towards the ring's health pool. The ring starts with AbilityStrengthBuff500 / 650 / 800 / 1000 base health, to which AbilityStrengthBuff115% / 125% / 175% / 250% of Nezha's total armor is added as bonus health. Upon activation, the ring is invulnerable for 3 seconds, during this time all incoming damage it takes is multiplied by AbilityStrengthBuff250% and added to its total health. Enemies that wander within AbilityRangeBuff1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 meters of Nezha are continuously RollingDroneAvatar Staggered and dealt AbilityStrengthBuff50 / 75 / 100 / 125 DmgSlashSmall64 Slash damage every second. Warding Halo cannot be refreshed while it is active, and only expires when its health is depleted or when it is dispelled.
    • Warding Halo's health uses the following expression:
      Modified Health = (Base Health + Armor Multiplier × (Health Conversion Armor + Nezha's Base Armor × (1 + Armor Bonus)) + Absorbed Damage × Absorption Multiplier) × (1 + Ability Strength)
      • As an example, with a maxed Mod TT 20px Steel Fiber and Mod TT 20px Intensify, and one stack on Mod TT 20px Health Conversion, a rank-3 Warding Halo will have an initial health of (1000 + (2.5 × (450 + 190 × (1 + 1.1)))) × (1 + 0.3) = 4,059.25 before absorbing damage.
    • While active, a health counter is displayed on the lower-right of the HUD, above the ability icons, indicating how much damage absorption is left.
    • DmgSlashSmall64 Slash damage instances immediately affect enemies as they enter the stun radius.
    • Cast animation of ~1 second, affected by Casting Speed.
      • Casting this ability makes Nezha stop all other actions, including movement. However, players can perform a running slide and hold it before casting in order to maintain momentum during the animation.
  • Upon expiring, Warding Halo releases a wave of heat, inflicting all surrounding enemies with a guaranteed DmgFireSmall64 Heat status effect, and making Nezha invulnerable for 1 second.
    • Warding Halo cannot be cast while active, but can be recast during this expiry invulnerability period.
    • Damage taken from the last hit which exceeds the health of Warding Halo will still transfer over in full to Nezha's health, potentially killing him (if strong enough), before the 1 second invulnerability can take effect.

  • Oberon expends EnergyOrb50 energy to consecrate the ground in an angle of AbilityRangeBuff90 / 100 / 120 / 180 degrees in front of him, spanning up to AbilityRangeBuff8 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters, for AbilityDurationBuff10 / 15 / 17 / 20 seconds. Enemies standing on the area of effect are dealt AbilityStrengthBuff25 / 50 / 75 / 100 DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation damage with a AbilityStrengthBuff5 / 10 / 12 / 15% DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation status chance every 0.5 seconds, while allies are relinquished of any negative Status Effects and become immune to them for as long as they are standing on the area. Up to a maximum of 4 Hollowed Ground can exist at a time.
    • Radius follows the expression:
      Base Range + 11.25 × (Ability Range - 1)
      • For example, with a maxed Mod TT 20px Stretch, the radius will increase to:
        15 + 11.25 × (1.45 - 1) = 20.0625 meters.
    • Angle follows the expression:
      Base Angle + 135° × (Ability Range - 1)
      • For example, with a maxed Stretch, the angle will increase to:
        180° + 135° × (1.45 - 1) = 240.75°).
      • 234% AbilityRangeBuff Ability Range is needed to bring the angle up to 360°, making it a full circle. This will also increase the radius to 15 + 11.25 × (2.34 - 1) = 30.075 meters.
    • Flying enemies that are too high above the ground may not be affected by this ability.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • If Oberon or any allies affected by Renewal130xWhite Renewal stands on Hallowed Ground, they will receive the Iron Renewal buff, which grants AbilityStrengthBuff125 / 150 / 175 / 200 bonus armor for as long as Renewal is active. Once Renewal is deactivated, the armor buff will remain on all affected units for AbilityDurationBuff20 more seconds.
      • Bonus armor is added after other armor increases (e.g. an Oberon with a maxed Mod TT 20px Steel Fiber and Mod TT 20px Intensify will have (185 × 2.0) + (200 × 1.3) = 630 armor).
      • As Mod TT 20px Link Fiber scales with the player's armor, companions with this mod benefit twice from Iron Renewal, as the companion links into the player's increased armor and then gets buffed by Iron Renewal.
    • Enemies that survive Reckoning130xWhite Reckoning while standing on Hallowed Ground will have their armor permanently reduced by AbilityStrengthBuff?% / ?% / ?% / 50%.
  • If cast in midair, Oberon will instantly drop to the ground to perform this ability.
  • Hallowed Ground spawns foliage inside its area of effect as visual representation. Oberon creates a field of grass, while Oberon Prime creates a field of ferns. Grass and ferns are affected by Oberon's chosen Warframe Accent color.
    • The shimmering energy field encompassing the ground is affected by Oberon's chosen Warframe energy color.

Hallowed Eruption is a Warframe Augment Mod for OberonIcon272 Oberon. Upon casting HallowedGround130xWhite Hallowed Ground again with a previous instance still active, the first one will immediately expire, dealing all remaining damage in a single instance with a chance to deal DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation proc. This mod also passively increases Hallowed Ground's duration.

Hallowed Eruption

Tips & Tricks

  • Enemies will traverse and fight through Hallowed Ground without any special attempts to evade its area of effect.
  • Narrow pathways such as doorways and halls are effective at forcing groups of enemies to cluster into Hallowed Ground.
  • Summoning multiple, overlapping layers of Hallowed Ground will deal the full combined damage over time to enemies.
  • Hallowed Ground is most efficiently used in areas where constant enemy and ally activity is expected over an extended period of time.
  • Hallowed Ground's status effect immunity can be used to pass through environmental traps unhindered, such as Grineer DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic Sensor Bars and Corpus Laser Barriers.
    • Note however that activating these traps in spy missions will still trigger vault alarms.
  • Hallowed Ground will make players immune to to DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation and DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic singularities in Sorties.

Info

  • Qorvex expends EnergyOrb75 Energy to explosively fragment out several protective concrete plates. On cast, Qorvex reels back then leaps in the air, detonating an explosion that inflicts AbilityStrengthBuff200 / 300 / 400 / 500 DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation damage with a guaranteed Status Effect and Knockdown b Knockdown to enemies in a radius of 6 meters.
  • After the explosion, Qorvex's concrete plates encircle himself and allied Warframes inside his Affinity Range. All negative status effects on Qorvex and his allied Warframes are first cleansed, then an initial number of AbilityStrengthBuff2 / 3 / 4 / 5 stacks of concrete plates surround them. Each stack lasts indefinitely until consumed by negating an incoming status effect, including Knockdown b Knockdown and self or enemy-inflicted RollingDroneAvatar Stagger.
    • Status cleanse on cast is a separate function and does not consume an initial stack.
    • Each guarded Warframe consumes stacks individually and do not reduce the stacks on other guarded Warframes.
    • Allied Warframes retain their Disometric Guard stacks when leaving Qorvex's Affinity Range, and even when Qorvex himself has zero stacks.
    • When a status effect is negated, the player's screen borders flash in a fading radioactive visual effect, while an orbiting concrete plate dissolves away.
    • Concrete plates orbiting a player visually disappear when aiming down sights with ranged weapons, and when the camera is positioned close to Qorvex's character model.
  • While Qorvex has at least 1 stack of Disometric Guard remaining, when Qorvex himself kills or assists in killing an enemy with an active DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation status effect, there is a 10% chance to add 1 stack to Qorvex and allied Warframes in his Affinity Range; for each active DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation status effect on the enemy, the stack chance increases up to a cap of 100% at 10 DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation statuses. Disometric Guard can only sustain max AbilityStrengthBuff5 / 7 / 8 / 10 stacks per player.
    • When gaining or losing stacks, concrete plates visually materialize or dissolve away, shuffling the entire orbit to occupy equal distances between plates.
    • Amount of remaining stacks are shown on the ability icon and as a buff icon beside Qorvex's hitpoints indicator.
  • Can be recast while active. If Qorvex and allied Warframes are below max stacks, recast adds initial stacks to their current stack count up to the max.
  • Ability Synergy:

Bugs

  • In the Simulacrum, stacks visually do not disappear once the modding changed via Arsenal, but the ability is deactivated as expected. Qorvex is unable to prevent status effects properly due to the lingering stacks.
  • Using transference, or being forced into operator form, may show 0 stacks when returning to the warframe. This is purely visual.

  • Titania expends EnergyOrb25 energy to scatter enchanted dust in a AbilityRangeBuff1 / 3 / 3 / 5 meter radius around the location she aims at, up to AbilityRangeBuff20 / 30 / 40 / 50 meters away. Enemies within this area are Halikar Disarmed and Ragdoll b Ragdolled as they weightlessly float in mid-air for AbilityDurationBuff10 / 12 / 14 / 16 seconds. Titania and her allies caught within the dust cloud are cleansed from Status Effects and gain immunity to them for the duration of the ability. Holding down the ability key (default 1 ) casts the ability centered on Titania.
    • Cast animation of 1 second is affected by Casting Speed.
      • Can be cast while moving, but will interrupt other actions such as reloading, charging or shooting.
    • Status immunity also protects from crowd control effects such as Knockdown b Knockdown and RollingDroneAvatar Stagger, including the lock-out animation of Archwing and Razorwing130xWhite Razorwing when impacting a surface.
  • After Spellbind expires, enemies previously armed with weapons cannot attack until they retrieve their weapons on the ground. Those that do not use weapons (such as the Infested) will recover quickly.
  • Spellbound allies and enemies emit unique particle effects:
    • Enemies visually emit energy butterflies fluttering about and an upward stream of energy stripes, both affected by Titania's energy colors.
    • Allies visually emit energy butterflies fluttering about, affected by their own energy colors.
  • Spellbind can be aimed at any surface, but will only allow you to use it if an enemy is within the predicted area of effect.

Ulfrun's passive undergoes a 60 second cooldown after his sacrifice or when swapped out.
  • Passives are only available from Voruna's original abilities. Therefore, a subsumed ability replacement from the Helminth system will disable the associated passive.
  • Passives are not disabled nor revoked when Voruna enters an ability-nullifying field such as from Nullifier Crewmen, or if she falls into an out-of-bounds zone.

Abilities

Info

  • Garuda slashes herself with her talons as she spins into the air, sacrificing up to 50% of her maximum Health to cleanse all status effects and restore up to EnergyOrb18% / 22% / 30% / 40% of her maximum Energy capacity. Garuda cannot reduce her health below 2 health points using Bloodletting.
    • Health cost is 50% of Garuda's maximum HP, including mods.
    • Energy gain is the listed % of her maximum energy, including mods, Helminth invigorations and slotted AzureArchonShard Azure Archon Shards.
    • Energy gain follows the formula:
      Total Energy Gain = Base Energy Gain ÷ (2 - Ability Efficiency).
    • Bloodletting can be cast if Garuda has less than 50% of her maximum HP remaining, but will only restore energy proportionate to the amount of HP sacrificed. For example, if she has 25% of her health left (or 50% of 50%) when Bloodletting, the energy gain will be halved.
  • Cannot be cast if Garuda has 2 or less health points.
  • This ability does not trigger health damage into energy conversion mods like Mod TT 20px Rage or Mod TT 20px Hunter Adrenaline.

BloodForgeMod
Main article: Blood Forge

Blood Forge is a Warframe Augment Mod for GarudaIcon272 Garuda's Bloodletting130xWhite Bloodletting to reload her equipped weapon up to a percentage.

Blood Forge

Tips & Tricks

  • This ability gains no benefits from increasing health. Having lower max health allows flat HP regeneration such as health orbs or OberonIcon272 Oberon's Renewal130xWhite Renewal to generate more energy more quickly.
  • Synergizes with BloodAltar130xWhite Blood Altar's continuous healing to give Garuda a near infinite supply of energy.
  • Despite sacrificing HP, Bloodletting is an effective way of shedding off any harmful status effects (especially slowing effects and DoT procs from DmgSlashSmall64 Slash and DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage), possibly improving her survivability better than not removing the procs.
  • Bloodletting is a powerful ability to combine with Helminth-infused toggled abilities that constantly drain energy, the most notable being SevagothIcon272 Sevagoth's Gloom130xWhite Gloom as it provides Garuda with another self-healing ability besides BloodAltar130xWhite Blood Altar to constantly regenerate her energy reserves.
    • The Gloom and Bloodletting combo makes Garuda viable at completing Steel Path missions alone, including missions not normally frequented by players such as the Rathuum nodes and the Zealoid Prelate battle in Deimos.
    • SeekingTalons130xWhite Seeking Talons also synergize extremely well with this build as the damage-over-time of her quills also triggers Gloom healing and, subsequently, powers Bloodletting. The quills' homing ability also offers little chance for enemies to escape and can even track and hit hiding enemies, ensuring Garuda can be healed by Gloom as long as they stay within the aura.
    • MoltReconstruct Molt Reconstruct can work as a stand-in for Gloom's regeneration by allowing any energy spent to heal a large portion of Garuda's health. Often healing her to full in a single cast.
      • Bloodletting itself will not restore health however, as it does not expend any Energy.
  • Equipping Mod TT 20px Blood Forge and using Bloodletting allows Garuda to quickly reload otherwise slow-reloading weapons (such as the Strun Strun, Nagantaka Nagantaka, TenetEnvoy Tenet Envoy and KuvaZarr Kuva Zarr) and increase their overall DPS potential. It comes at the risk of getting struck while already losing her Health to reload, thus she should consider safeguards such as a nearby Blood Altar or equipping Mod TT 20px Quick Thinking and/or Mod TT 20px Gladiator Finesse, the mods accounting for her replenished Energy while using Bloodletting.
    • Slotting AzureArchonShard Azure Archon Shards for extra Energy while also equipping Quick Thinking will make Garuda deceptively durable due to the resulting increased efficiency of regaining Energy via Bloodletting.
    • Slotting AzureArchonShard Azure Archon Shards for extra Armor instead of extra Energy grants Garuda more effective hitpoints since Mod TT 20px Quick Thinking benefits from Armor.
  • If a Garuda player wishes to take advantage of the reworked passive to further amplify damage output, Helminth can replace Bloodletting with another damage-related self buff ability, such as XakuIcon272 Xaku's Xata'sWhisper130xWhite Xata's Whisper or MirageIcon272 Mirage's Eclipse130xWhite Eclipse, as these abilities synergize well with the damage buff and Garuda's own SeekingTalons130xWhite Seeking Talons, while still maintaining self-survival options with DreadMirror130xWhite Dread Mirror and Blood Altar.
    • In exchange for losing this ability to generate Energy, Garuda can equip Mod TT 20px Rage or Mod TT 20px Hunter Adrenaline so she gains Energy while taking damage - which will be offset by a nearby Blood Altar.

Subsumable to Helminth

Info

  • Hildryn expends EnergyOrb150 shields or overshields to emit a radial pulse with an initial radius of AbilityRangeBuff5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters, which follows her as an aura and rapidly expands outward by ? / ? / 6 / 20 meters per second over a duration of AbilityDurationBuff2 seconds. Hildryn and allies touched by the expanding pulse are instantly cleansed of all negative Status Effects. Enemies in direct line of sight of Hildryn and within range of her aura are marked for pillage, reducing their current Shields or total Armor by AbilityStrengthBuff10% / 15% / 20% / 25%. When Pillage expires or when the ability key (default 2 ) is pressed again while the ability is active, the pulse instantly retracts to Hildryn to restore her missing shields and produce Overshields based on the amount of shields and/or armor stolen from all pillaged enemies.
    • Roar130xWhite Roar, DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic procs, and enemy weakspots on the "chest" area will increase the shield strip, but not shield return or armor strip.
    • Enemy armor and shields are fully removed at 400% AbilityStrengthBuff Ability Strength. With one Mod TT 20px Corrosive Projection, armor will be fully stripped at 328% Ability Strength.
      • Shield strip removes a percentage of the current maximum value, as such it has diminishing returns on subsequent casts against the same enemies. Armor strip, however, is a percentage of an enemy's total, requiring four casts at base strength to fully strip.
    • Shield restore affects Kubrows, Kavats, and MOAs, but has no effect on Sentinels.
    • Does not steal from enemies without shields or armor stats.
    • Enemies that possess both shields and armor will need to have their shields broken before armor can be pillaged.
    • Pillaged enemies leaving Pillage's pulse and/or Hildryn's line of sight will still return shields to her.
  • Casting Pillage is a full body animation that stops Hildryn's grounded movement and other actions.
  • Pillage cannot be cast while AegisStorm130xWhite Aegis Storm is active.
  • Hildryn's shoulder-mounted shield pads briefly become visible when Pillage is cast.
  • Enemies affected by Pillage glow in an upward stream of energy particles. Pillaged shields return to Hildryn as energy missiles once the ability expires or is recast while active.
  • Pulse, energy stream, and energy missiles are affected by Hildryn's chosen Warframe energy color.
  • Subsuming Hildryn to the Helminth will offer Pillage and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
    • Subsumed Pillage uses EnergyOrb50 energy instead of shields.
    • Does not generate shields for InarosIcon272 Inaros, NidusIcon272 Nidus, or KullervoIcon272 Kullervo.
    • Other Warframes cannot make use of the Mod TT 20px Blazing Pillage augment, due to their inability to cast Haven130xWhite Haven.

Blazing Pillage

Tips & Tricks

  • Similar to MolecularPrime130xWhite Molecular Prime, ability duration is far more effective at increasing this ability's range than ability range itself. Increasing duration also provides more time for Hildryn to move around and tag enemies with the aura.
  • Modding for Mod TT 20px Corrosive Projection or Mod TT 20px Shield Disruption is useful in certain scenarios, as the armor/shield strips are additive with Pillage. For example, the 18% reduced armor from Corrosive Projection equates to 72% power strength that is no longer needed, bringing down the power strength requirement for a full armor strip from 400% to 328%.

Enemies that walk over the flames are dealt AbilityStrengthBuff50 / 100 / 150 / 200 DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage per 0.5 seconds, with each instance of damage having a 10% / 25% / 50% / ? DmgFireSmall64 Heat status chance. While Nezha and his allies stand on the flames, they are immune and continually cleansed of all Status Effects.
    • Cast animation of ~0.5 seconds, affected by Casting Speed.
    • Flames can be formed in mid-air but only while Bullet Jumping. Falling will not leave behind any flames.
  • Ability Synergy: If Fire Walker is active when using BlazingChakram130xWhite Blazing Chakram's teleportation, Fire Walker will overheat at the destination and deal AbilityStrengthBuff500 / 750 / 1000 / 1250 DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage with a 10% / 25% / 50% / ? DmgFireSmall64 Heat status chance within a radius of AbilityRangeBuff3 / 4 / 5 / 6 meters, as well as leaving a lingering ring of Fire Walker's flames for ? seconds.
    • Damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and diminishes with distance.
  • Fire Walker can be cast while moving but will interrupt all other actions.
  • Can be recast while active to refresh its duration.
  • Subsuming Nezha to the Helminth will offer Fire Walker and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
    • This does not allow other Warframes to use Fire Walker's explosion on teleport. This is exclusively a synergy with Blazing Chakram.

Main article: Pyroclastic Flow

Pyroclastic Flow is a Warframe Augment Mod for NezhaIcon272 Nezha and NezhaPrimeIcon272 Nezha Prime that accumulates the damage FireWalker130xWhite Fire Walker deals and unleashes it in a trail of fire upon reactivating the ability.

Pyroclastic Flow

Tips & Tricks

  • The 100% chance of the DmgFireSmall64 Heat status effect makes this an effective form of control for narrow hallways or choke points.
  • Quickly sliding into groups of enemies can reliably disable them.
  • The amount of ground that can be covered in flames can be improved using Sprint Speed mods.
  • Also works as an escape tool to prevent enemies from following you.
  • Can be used to cut off melee units from defense objectives.
  • Briefly tapping slide key allows for additional control over Nezha's momentum while maintaining the additional speed.
  • Choosing a dark energy color makes the visual effect less intrusive.

100% stack chance cap

Info

  • Qorvex expends EnergyOrb75 Energy to explosively fragment out several protective concrete plates. On cast, Qorvex reels back then leaps in the air, detonating an explosion that inflicts AbilityStrengthBuff200 / 300 / 400 / 500 DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation damage with a guaranteed Status Effect and Knockdown b Knockdown to enemies in a radius of 6 meters.
  • After the explosion, Qorvex's concrete plates encircle himself and allied Warframes inside his Affinity Range. All negative status effects on Qorvex and his allied Warframes are first cleansed, then an initial number of AbilityStrengthBuff2 / 3 / 4 / 5 stacks of concrete plates surround them. Each stack lasts indefinitely until consumed by negating an incoming status effect, including Knockdown b Knockdown and self or enemy-inflicted RollingDroneAvatar Stagger.
    • Status cleanse on cast is a separate function and does not consume an initial stack.
    • Each guarded Warframe consumes stacks individually and do not reduce the stacks on other guarded Warframes.
    • Allied Warframes retain their Disometric Guard stacks when leaving Qorvex's Affinity Range, and even when Qorvex himself has zero stacks.
    • When a status effect is negated, the player's screen borders flash in a fading radioactive visual effect, while an orbiting concrete plate dissolves away.
    • Concrete plates orbiting a player visually disappear when aiming down sights with ranged weapons, and when the camera is positioned close to Qorvex's character model.
  • While Qorvex has at least 1 stack of Disometric Guard remaining, when Qorvex himself kills or assists in killing an enemy with an active DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation status effect, there is a 10% chance to add 1 stack to Qorvex and allied Warframes in his Affinity Range; for each active DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation status effect on the enemy, the stack chance increases up to a cap of 100% at 10 DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation statuses. Disometric Guard can only sustain max AbilityStrengthBuff5 / 7 / 8 / 10 stacks per player.
    • When gaining or losing stacks, concrete plates visually materialize or dissolve away, shuffling the entire orbit to occupy equal distances between plates.
    • Amount of remaining stacks are shown on the ability icon and as a buff icon beside Qorvex's hitpoints indicator.
  • Can be recast while active. If Qorvex and allied Warframes are below max stacks, recast adds initial stacks to their current stack count up to the max.
  • Ability Synergy:

Bugs

  • In the Simulacrum, stacks visually do not disappear once the modding changed via Arsenal, but the ability is deactivated as expected. Qorvex is unable to prevent status effects properly due to the lingering stacks.
  • Using transference, or being forced into operator form, may show 0 stacks when returning to the warframe. This is purely visual.

Info

  • Revenant expends EnergyOrb50 energy to transform into a torrent of Sentient mist-like energy that surges forward toward the aiming reticle, at a speed of 25 meters per second for AbilityDurationBuff0.25 / 0.5 / 0.75 / 1 second. While traveling in energy form, Revenant is intangible, Invulnerable to damage and protected against new Status Effects, as he pushes an energy current with a width of AbilityRangeBuff3 / 4 / 5 / 6 meters. Reave can be manually cancelled by pressing the ability key again (default 3 ) or jumping during the dash.
  • Enemies passing through the energy current are drained AbilityStrengthBuff2% / 4% / 6% / 8% of their maximum Shields and Health, while Revenant restores AbilityStrengthBuff2% / 4% / 6% / 8% of his maximum shields and health from each enemy leeched; all active status effects on Revenant are also transferred to enemies he passes through.
    • Does not restore shield points to Revenant if enemies do not possess shields.
    • Hitpoints from enemies can be drained and restored to Revenant multiple times, if enemies pass through the same instance of Reave.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Reave steals AbilityStrengthBuff10% / 20% / 30% / 40% Health and Shields from enemies affected by Enthrall130xWhite Enthrall (5x more than base).
      • The drain percentage displayed in Abilities and the Upgrade screen display the Thrall-empowered drain.
    • While MesmerSkin130xWhite Mesmer Skin is active, Reave restores 1 charge per thrall that Revenant passes through, up to the full charge count.
      • While Mesmer Skin is active, allies such as Warframes and Companions that contact Reave's current will gain 1 Mesmer Skin charge.
    • Reave costs halved energy during DanseMacabre130xWhite Danse Macabre, with instantaneous casting speed and Danse Macabre's stopping animation can be skipped if deactivated during Reave.
  • During Reave, Revenant continuously dashes toward the direction of the aiming reticle.
    • While grounded, Revenant can freely change his dash direction.
    • While airborne, Revenant cannot change directions until he makes contact with a horizontal surface.
  • Can be cancelled by jumping, which preserves forward momentum.
  • Casting Reave is an upper body animation that interrupts only upper body actions such as melee attacks or reloading and can be cast while airborne.
  • Revenant visually becomes translucent and enveloped in Sentient energy during the dash.
  • Sentient energy cloak, energy current, and particle trails are affected by Revenant's chosen Warframe energy color.
  • Subsuming Revenant to the Helminth will offer Reave and its augments to be used by other Warframes. Note that the UI's listed 40% damage is not applicable for non-Revenant frames and instead deals 8% damage.

Blinding Reave is a Warframe Augment Mod for RevenantIcon272 Revenant's Reave130xWhite Reave that blinds enemies caught in its fog, while also passively increasing its range.

Blinding Reave

Tips & Tricks

  • Since Reave deals a set percent damage to enemies' health, it can scale indefinitely.
    • Without mods, at 100% Ability Strength, it would take 13 Reave casts to kill any enemy, only 3 if that enemy is enthralled.
    • The percent damage is always significantly reduced against Nox, even with enthralled one. Thus, it is quite ineffective and inefficient to kill them with Reave.
  • Use Aim Glide during Reave to descend slowly.
  • Move the aiming reticle during Reave to change your dash direction.
  • Dash in a circle around enemies to drain from them multiple times.
  • Consoles can be activated and terminals can be hacked while Reave is active.
  • When falling from a sufficient height that would induce a hard landing, activate Reave before or immediately after the hard landing to cancel it.
  • Jump right before Reave ends to take full advantage of its speed and to conserve its momentum. This is especially handy on larger tilesets or the open world maps.
  • If a turret on the Plains of Eidolon is hit with Reave, it is instantly destroyed, regardless of level.

  • Saryn expends EnergyOrb50 energy to shed her skin, removing all existing status effects and increasing her Movement Speed by AbilityStrengthBuff30% / 35% / 40% / 50% for AbilityDurationBuff3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5 seconds, while leaving behind a decoy with 400 shields and AbilityStrengthBuff150 / 300 / 400 / 500 health that draws enemy fire for AbilityDurationBuff14 / 24 / 32 / 40 seconds. When deployed, the decoy is Invulnerable for 1.5 / 2 / 3 / 3 seconds, during which all incoming damage absorbed by it is converted and added to its health. The decoy will explode if it loses all of its hitpoints, if its duration expires or if the ability is cast again, inflicting AbilityStrengthBuff240 / 300 / 350 / 400 DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage with 100% DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin status chance to all enemies within AbilityRangeBuff5 / 6 / 7 / 10 meters from it. A maximum of 1 Molt can exist.
    • Explosion damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and diminishes with distance.
    • Recasting will activate will detonate the Molt and spawn a new one.
    • Does not have a cast time or animation.
  • Molt's decoy is placed at Saryn's current position, mirroring her pose and elevation.
    • Molt's shields regenerate over time and can be buffed with the use of allied Shield Ospreys, whether in Specter or MindControl130xWhite Mind Controlled forms.
    • Elemental augment mods, such as EmberIcon272 Ember's Mod TT 20px Fireball Frenzy, can be applied to Molt. The damage augment will not affect the explosion damage or damage type upon Molt's expiration.
    • Molt cannot be knocked down or moved, and acts as a physical object, unlike LokiIcon272 Loki's Decoy130xWhite Decoy.
    • Molt will slowly vaporize and dissipate for its duration, eventually exploding once it nearly vanishes.
  • Casting Molt can be done while performing any action without interrupting it, including reloading, charging, shooting, maneuvering, and while on a zipline.
    • Can be cast in all states (except while upside down in a flip jump or while dodging) and can be reused instantly.
  • Subsuming Saryn to the Helminth will offer Molt and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Regenerative Molt

Tips & Tricks

  • Using during a well timed jump can result it being low enough for enemies to target, such as Infested or Melee units, but be more protected from most melee attacks. (Ancients will still be able to reach, as well as the knockback damage from Leapers).
  • Place Molt in locations which can protect it from enemy attacks to maximize its survival.
  • LimboIcon272 Limbo can utilize this ability by casting Banish130xWhite Banish on the decoy, granting it immunity to all attacks that do not affect targets in the Rift Plane.
  • If Molt is closer to the enemy than the player, enemies will (normally) focus it. Applies to the caster as well as other players, unless they're using aggro-increasing abilities such as NyxIcon272 Nyx's Absorb130xWhite Absorb or RhinoIcon272 Rhino's IronSkin130xWhite Iron Skin.
  • It can be used as protection from enemy fire, when you revive an downed teammate.

Bugs

  • When knocked back by an Ancient, the physical target of the decoy will move, but the model remains in place. This can be seen while having Mod TT 20px Enemy Sense and Mod TT 20px Enemy Radar equipped while seeing the decoy (as a friendly blip) against a group of infested.
  • For clients, Molt will sometimes be in a default standing position when deployed.

Titania and her allies caught within the dust cloud are cleansed from Status Effects and gain immunity to them for the duration of the ability. Holding down the ability key (default 1 ) casts the ability centered on Titania.
    • Cast animation of 1 second is affected by Casting Speed.
      • Can be cast while moving, but will interrupt other actions such as reloading, charging or shooting.
    • Status immunity also protects from crowd control effects such as Knockdown b Knockdown and RollingDroneAvatar Stagger, including the lock-out animation of Archwing and Razorwing130xWhite Razorwing when impacting a surface.
  • After Spellbind expires, enemies previously armed with weapons cannot attack until they retrieve their weapons on the ground. Those that do not use weapons (such as the Infested) will recover quickly.
  • Spellbound allies and enemies emit unique particle effects:
    • Enemies visually emit energy butterflies fluttering about and an upward stream of energy stripes, both affected by Titania's energy colors.
    • Allies visually emit energy butterflies fluttering about, affected by their own energy colors.
  • Spellbind can be aimed at any surface, but will only allow you to use it if an enemy is within the predicted area of effect.

Trivia[]

  • Prior to Update 25.7 (2019-08-29), a status effect's duration could be increased or decreased, along with the total number of ticks in the case of damage-over-time procs, if the target's speed was altered by a Warframe power (such as MolecularPrime130xWhite Molecular Prime or RestRage130xWhite Rest & Rage) according to the following formulas:
    • For slowing effects: Effective status duration = (base status duration) ÷ (1 − slow % in decimals)
    • For speeding effects: Effective status duration = (base status duration) ÷ (1 + speed up % in decimals)
  • Prior to Update 27.2 (2020-03-05), physical procs were weighted four times more than elemental ones.
  • Prior to Update 27.2 (2020-03-05), shotguns' status chance per pellet were calculated differently, instead of being the exact status chance shown in the Arsenal: Chance per Pellet = 1 − (1 − Status Chance)(1 ÷ Pellet Count)
    • In other words, the status chance shown in the Arsenal represented the calculated probability that at least one of the weapon's pellets would proc.
    • This meant that shotguns that could reach 100% status chance in the Arsenal (before Multishot mods) benefited significantly more from a status build since each pellet would proc as a result of the above equation.
    • However, a shotgun that only reaches shy of 100% status chance when modded would see significantly diminished results.
      • For example, a 99% status chance on a 10 pellet weapon would result in a 36.9% status chance per pellet.

Update 34.0 (2023-10-18)

  • Fixed Status Proc icons appearing under squadmate username when aiming over their player avatar. Now these icons will appear beside their name to improve legibility.

Update 33.6 (2023-07-27)

Status Changes

With the variety of Status effects in Warframe, there are certain types that may be seen as less favorable than others. Cold, Puncture, and Impact tend to have a lesser impact on the battlefield, so we felt it was time to revisit the value they added to player kits:

Puncture Changes:
Weakened Status Effect Buffs:

  • Increased the debuff to enemy attacks from 30% to 40% on the first stack.
  • Reduced the maximum amount of stacks from 10 to 5.
  • Increased per-stack debuff from 5% to 10%.
  • Increased the total debuff at Max Stacks from 75% to 80%.

Weakened Status Effect Additions:

  • Increases Critical Chance threshold on enemy by 5% per Stack, to a maximum of 25% at 5 Stacks. This is additive after mods, not before. Does not apply to Abilities or AOE damage.

Impact Changes:
Stagger Status Effect Changes:

  • Reduced the maximum amount of stacks from 10 to 5.
  • Increased the Mercy Threshold from 4% to 8% per stack.

Functionally, this allows for players to trigger early Mercy kills with less stacks required!

NOTE: These changes should not affect the functionality of Impact Stacks for Mods such as Internal Bleeding or Hemorrhage.

Cold Changes:
Freeze Status Effect Changes:

  • Increased the maximum amount of stacks from 8 to 9.
  • Increased the additional per-stack Slow from 3.5% to 5%.
  • Increased the maximum Slow effect from 75% to 90%.
  • While we previously mentioned buffing Cold Slow Effect to 85% in our Citrine’s Last Wish update, we mistakenly only increased it to 75% instead.

Freeze Status Effect Additions:

  • Increased the Critical Damage taken by an enemy by 10% on initial Status Effect Subsequent Stacks increase this debuff by 5%, up to a maximum of 50%. This is additive after mods, not before.

Update 33.0 (2023-04-26)

  • Fixed issues with enemies affected by Status Effects not behaving as intended when the game is paused.

Update 32.3 (2023-02-15)

Cold Status Effect Changes:

Cold Damage has traditionally been one of the lesser-used and valued Status Effects within the community, as its effect on foes may not be as noticeable compared to its peers. As a result, we’ve decided to to make the following changes:

  • Increased base Slow from 25% to 50%.
  • Max stacks reduced from from 10 to 8.

Final result of the above is an overall increase in the Max Slow from 70% to 85%.

Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)

  • Removed potential rare specific scenarios where Status Effects could potentially do unintended critical damage.

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

Damage-Type Changes:
  • Slash Status now does not bypass Shields and instead deals damage over time to Shields. Slash Status still bypasses Armor.
  • Toxin Damage used to apply to Armor with a 25% bonus. Now it is neutral. For role distinction, Toxin bypasses Shields (but not Armor) where as Slash Status bypasses Armor but not Shields.
Greater than 100% Status having meaning

Years ago we added Orange and Red Critical Damage numbers when you land a Critical with greater than 100%. For years, Status being greater than 100% has done nothing except guarantee Status - which is good, just not an added incentive to go over 100%. We are changing that this update.

When you hit a Status Chance greater than 100%, a single damage instance will be able to create two Status Effects. This means if you have a Shot with 200% Status Chance modded with both Blast and Toxin Damage, that single shot will result in both Status Effects!

It is worth noting we are fixing a UI inconsistency that is ‘Display Only’. Right now the Arsenal shows Status Chance affected by Multishot, which makes reading the new >100% value confusing. For example, the Arsenal might say 120% but really the Status Chance is 80%. We don’t have Multishot affect any Critical Stats (Chance or Multiplier), so we are fixing this display inconsistency. Multishot now has its own Stat.

Shotguns have a unique Role here based on a very patch-work history with how they interact with Status Chance. A Shotgun that shoots 99% Status Chance would give you 35% (roughly) status per pellet. 100% Status Gives you 100% Status per pellet. This huge jump in performance happens with just a 1% gain - why? Well, to answer that we have to look at our choice to make what the UI conveys reality. It would feel broken to shoot a Shotgun with 100% Status and not see a perfect spread of Effects. In reality, to make Status consistent we have to treat Shotguns as a special case.

Shotguns as a special case means we have buffed the Status Chance of all Shotguns by x3 or greater. The UI now behaves to show the reality that you are determining Status Chance per pellet.

Stacking Status Effects

But wait - THERE’S MORE! In addition to being able to achieve two Status Effects on a single shot with >100% Status, we are also adding new meaning if you get a duplicate Status Effect on an enemy overall.

This section will outline exactly what this means for each Status type, including information on how multiple Status Effects behaved with stacking prior to this Hotfix:

  • DmgImpactSmall64 Impact: Repeat single-target Impact Status Effects will escalate the efficacy of the Impact Status (removed previous change of adding Ragdoll as maximum Stagger consequence).
  • DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture: The first Puncture Status Effect has an enemy deal 30% less Damage. Subsequent Puncture Status add +5% weakening, leading to up to 75% (capped). Each Puncture Status has a duration of 6 Seconds.
  • DmgSlashSmall64 Slash: Each Slash Status has its own duration, but now we only show a maximum of 10 damage numbers in the HUD, damage is unaffected, but reducing how many damage events we show helps with performance
  • DmgColdSmall64 Cold: The first Cold Status Effect deals 25% slow. Subsequent Cold Status Effects deal +5% slow for a total of 70% slow at 10 procs. Each Cold Status has a duration of 6 seconds.
  • DmgFireSmall64 Heat: No Change.
  • DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin: See Slash, plus the base duration of a Toxin Status Effect now matches Slash for 6 seconds.
  • DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity: AoE Electric Damage that is part of the Status Effect can now reoccur while the target is still under the stun animation of another Electric Status Effect.
  • DmgBlastSmall64 Blast: Grants the Blast Status Effect a single target. Blast Status reduces enemy accuracy by 30% base. Subsequent Blast Status Effects add +5% inaccuracy for for 75% total at 10 stacks. Each Blast Status has a 6 second Duration.
  • DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive: The first Corrosive Status Effect strips 26% Armor. Subsequent Corrosive Status Effects strip 6% more Armor, leading up to 80% Armor removal. Each Corrosive Status Effect lasts 8 seconds. Note: Corrosive was the only Status with infinite Duration and 100% Efficacy toward a defensive stat. This was necessary to some based on how Armor Scaled. We feel our rebalancing efforts need a differently behaving Corrosive to balance out all Status overall.
  • DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation: The first Radiation Status Effect has an enemy deal 100% Damage to allies. Subsequent Radiation Status adds +50% damage, leading to up to 550% (capped). Each Radiation Status Effect has a duration of 12 seconds.
  • DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic: New Status Effect entirely: enhanced Damage! First Magnetic Status Effect deals 100% additional Shield damage, subsequent Magnetic Status add +25% for a total of 325% (capped). Enemies under a Magnetic Status Effect cannot regenerate Shields. Magnetic Status Duration is now 6 seconds.
  • DmgViralSmall64 Viral: New Status Effect entirely: enhanced Damage! First Viral Status Effect deals 100% additional Health damage, subsequent Viral Status add +25% for a total of 325% (capped).
    • Note: Before Viral would halve a target’s health pool and simply refresh the duration. Now it deals 2x Damage to Health, and can scale up to 4.5x Damage on repeat Status Effects.
  • DmgGasSmall64 Gas: The base duration of a Gas Status Effect now matches Slash for 6 seconds. No longer does AoE with forced Poison Status Effect (resulting in Poison DoT for enemies in radius), instead it does AoE DoT Gas damage around the target.

Players - aka Tenno - can only have a Maximum of 1 Stack on them - you cannot receive Stacked Status Effects as a player from enemies, fear not!

Why: The inclusion of enhanced or different stacking of Duplicate Status Effects is one to refresh the appeal of Status.

In addition, we’ve removed 0.25x Multiplier for Elemental Status Effects, meaning all Elemental Status Effects are 4x more likely.

Why: Critical has long been king - and while we are leaving Critical as is, our goal is to bring Status into the Arsenals in a new light for all Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapons. Our long-term goal with this change is to build upon this series of changes to eventually allow Status to impact bigger threats like Liches and Eidolons.

Update 27.1 (2020-02-04)

  • Fixed projectile explosion & embed damage not properly using Status Chance upgrades.

Update 25.7 (2019-08-29)

  • Reduced Status Effect light FX intensity further to compensate for stacking procs (Gas multiprocs, etc.)
  • If you freeze enemies with things like Frost, Atlas, or Gara’s abilities, you can now immediately apply other Status Effects! Before these powers would prevent Status Effects from being added. Read more on that here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1119134-cold-status-effects-how-they-block-new-status-effects-coming-changes/
  • Fixed Status FX not applying to ragdolled enemies.
  • Fixed sometimes seeing duplicate corpses if the enemy died from a Slash Status Effect.

Update 11.7 (2014-01-15)

  • Continued Changes to proc/status logic with Continuous Fire weapons:
    • Their proc/status is now determined per second – the Arsenal will display the “Status per second” value. Continuous fire weapons that had a weaker proc chance before should be yielding reasonable proc/status per second with this calculation.

Hotfix 11.0.2 (2013-11-20)

  • Added more visibilty to Proc/status on enemies when dealing damage. Proc/status icons added to damage numbers.

Update 11.0 (2013-11-20)

  1. Despite not being formally used in-game, internally the developers do use the term to refer to guaranteed procs independent from chance
