Update 35.5 (2024-03-27)

• Updated Trinity’s Blessing description to accurately communicate the damage reduction offered by it.
  • Previously the description indicated it “[gave allies] some damage resistance”, which is not accurate as damage resistance is a separate mechanic not offered by Blessing.
  • Now reads: “Restore the health and shields of nearby allies while reducing the damage they take from enemies.”
• Updated Trinity’s Well of Life ability description to better explain its mechanic:
  • “Create a well of life on an enemy. Allies near the target gradually regenerate health and are immune to Status Effects. Status Effect damage intended for nearby allies will be absorbed by the enemy. Allies gain additional health when they attack the enemy.”

Update 35.1 (2024-02-20)

• Fixed a bug with Trinity’s Well of Life and self-stagger-inducing weapons that allowed Thumpers in the Plains of Eidolon to be one-shot.
  • In order to address this bug, the Well of Life wisps will no longer spawn from self-staggering and as an additional precaution to prevent similar issues from occurring, they now negate 5% (previously 10%) of the maximum Health of non-ability immune bosses (non-boss targets still receive 10%). While we understand this may have been a popular way to use the ability, the interaction with certain boss units, such as Thumpers, allowed players to bypass the intended gameplay loops that make these units challenging in comparison to standard enemies.

Update 34.0 (2023-10-18)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So, our next step:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Warframe Stat Changes:

TRINITY
Health: Base Rank - 270 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300)
Shields: Base Rank - 270 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300)
Armor: Base Rank - 105 (from 100)
Energy: Base Rank - 175 (from 150) / Max Rank - 225 (from 225)

TRINITY PRIME
Health: Base Rank - 270 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300)
Shields: Base Rank - 455 (from 150) / Max Rank - 555 (from 450)
Armor: Base Rank - 135 (from 125)
Energy: Base Rank - 175 (from 150) / Max Rank - 225 (from 225)

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

Hotfix 33.5.3 (2023-06-23)

• Fixed script errors with Trinity’s Energy Vampire and Blessing.

Hotfix 32.2.1 (2022-11-30)

• Fixed script error with Trinity’s Well of Life ability.

Update 32.2 (2022-11-30)

WARFRAME AUGMENT BUFFS - PART 3 (FINAL)

In the Veilbreaker and Nora’s Mix Vol 1 updates, we buffed a number of underused Warframe Augments (from Ash to Oberon). This third and final batch of buffs tackles Warframe Augments from Saryn to Zephyr. We have increased their viability in missions, which we hope will encourage more build diversity.

*Stats below are all at Max Rank.

TRINITY
Pool of Life

• Was: On death, marked enemies will drop 4 Health Orbs with a 25% chance of dropping an Energy Orb.
• Changes:
  • Energy Orbs now have a 100% chance of dropping. This amount can still scale with Ability Strength to potentially produce multiple Orbs.

Trinity Well of Life Changes:

• Allies in range of Well of Life’s radius are now protected from Status Effects. When a Status Effect is blocked, the enemy trapped in Well of Life takes a 10% hit to their Health.
  • A projectile FX now circles the enemy affected by Well of Life to indicate when an ally is protected from Status Effects.
• Increased Trinity’s Well of Life base range from 8 meters to 15 meters.

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)

• Increase Trinity's Abating Link (Augment) armor reduction from 45% to 60%.
• Fixed script error when using Trinity’s Link on board a POI and then returning to the Railjack.

Update 30.9 (2021-11-11)

• Augment: Blessing -  Champion's Blessing
• Fixed script error related to Trinity’s Blessing.

Update 29.3 (2020-10-27)

• Fixed Trinity’s Blessing fully restoring Health/Shields of mission objectives.
  • Per Healing Defendable Targets Dev Workshop: it should "Restore 500 Health over 5 seconds".

Update 28.3 (2020-08-12)

Trinity Well of Life Changes:

Well of Life now passively heals allies in a radius around the target (base 100 Health per second within 8 meters). Shooting the held target gives extra Health to all allies in range (base 1% of damage dealt to the victim) instead of only the person who made the attack.

Well of Life also no longer increases the Health of the target (this was an old solution to prevent other players from killing the target too fast). Instead it now uses a more modern approach similar to Nyx’s Mind Control where the Damage gets stored and dealt at the end of the Ability.

Fixes:

• Fixed Trinity’s Well of Life and Energy Vampire ignoring chosen Energy color.

Update 28.1 (2020-07-08)

• Fixed the Vetala Armor not attaching properly to the Trinity Strega Skin.

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

• Armor Change:
  • Trinity: 15 to 100
  • Trinity Prime: 15 to 125
  • Why: The conversation surrounding Arcane Guardian led to a significant review of Armor stats on Warfarmes. The Majority of Warframes received an increase in the Armor stat to increase survivability. Compounded with Shield Gating and the numerous other changes covered, we expect a much more fair feeling playing field for all Warframes.

Hotfix 25.7.4 (2019-09-05)

• Fixed Trinity Link's beam flickering (and likely some others). As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1125006-photosensitive-epilepsy-migraine-warning-saint-of-altra-made-trinitys-link-flash-and-blink-dangerously/

Hotfix 25.5.1 (2019-08-02)

• Removed "cast on ground" requirements for the following Warframe abilities:
  • Trinity Well of Life
  • Trinity Energy Vampire
  • Trinity Link

Update 23.0 (2018-06-15)

• Fixed cloth clipping in Trinity's diorama.

Hotfix 22.20.8 (2018-06-05)

• For consistency, damage link abilities (Trinity, Nidus, Nekros) will no longer transmit self-damage, but you will still get the damage reduction. This is particularly relevant for the healer/support class of Trinity who had become the go-to DPS frame in addition to the intended support roles. The re-release of Mods like Aviator added to some clever but ultimately uncharacteristic roles for Trinity.

Update 22.14 (2018-03-01)

• Updated Trinity's Blessing ability description to read: "Restore the health and shields of allies within Trinity's Affinity aura while giving them some damage immunity."

Hotfix 22.8.3 (2018-01-11)

Boss Reward Location Changes:

• In an effort to balance the acquisition of Warframes, we've shifted some boss drop locations:

• Fixed Trinity’s Energy Vampire affecting Hydroid when in Undertow. This was never intended as channeled abilities do not benefit from Energy Vampire.

Hotfix 20.3.1 (2017-04-27)

• Removed Heal Time from Renewal. Renewal now functions more conventionally as a toggle which drains 2 Energy per second while active + 3 Energy per second per target actively being healed. *Please note that Trinity's Energy Vampire will not give Oberon Energy while Renewal is active.

Update 20.0 (2017-03-24)

• Fixed Trinity Prime Lobster Tail Syandana Clipping in extreme cases.

Update 15.2 (2014-11-13)

• Energy Vampire now only benefits teammates who can see or can be seen by the targeted victim (victims remember who they have seen for a short duration).

Hotfix 15.1.1 (2014-11-06)

• Energy Vampire can no longer be cast on inactive Corpus Turrets.

Update 15.0 (2014-10-24)

• Augment: Well of Life -  Pool of Life

Update 13.5 (2014-05-28)

• Fixed an erroneous description in Energy Vampire.

Update 13.3 (2014-05-14)

• Blessing: On cast, Blessing restores all shields and health. Damage reduction for the duration of the skill is now based on the greatest percentage of health healed (i.e. if you have a squad with members whose health you healed 30%, 40% and 90%, all party members will receive Damage reduction at the greatest percent, 90% in this case). This should make the use of Blessing more reactive, greatly benefiting players that pay attention and monitor party health to maximize its effectiveness.
  • Reduced the time it takes for Trinity's Blessing animation to play.
• Energy Vampire: Will now pulse one last burst from the victim when it dies, releasing any remaining energy; this should make the ability useful even when the enemy is killed prematurely.
• Fixed incorrect visuals appearing on Trinity's Helmet.
