Info

• Wielding mastery over the deadly elements, Chroma can selectively change his elemental alignment, by tapping the ability key to freely cycle the selection wheel between  Heat,  Electricity,  Toxin, or  Cold.
  • Chroma's initial element once he enters a mission is determined by the primary emissive color in his Appearance customization; otherwise it will default to  Heat.
• Hold down the ability key (default 1 ) to expend 10 Energy to activate Spectral Scream. While active, Chroma holsters his weapons away and continuously exhales elemental energy in a cone 4 / 5 / 6.5 / 10 meters long that inflicts 200 / 250 / 300 / 400  Heat,  Electricity,  Toxin, or  Cold damage per second with a 100% status chance and a ?%  Stagger chance; each enemy hit directly by Spectral Scream's cone will also spread its ability effects via an elemental energy stream to one other enemy within 10 meters.
  • Damage bypasses obstacles in the environment and does not decrease with distance.
  • Damage type is based on Chroma's current elemental alignment which is determined by Chroma's emissive color.
  • Spectral Scream's cone emits from Chroma's mouth, which changes direction based on where Chroma's model is facing (not the player camera) and can only be aimed within 90 degrees to each side and 45 degrees above or below Chroma.
  • While Chroma cannot use his primary and secondary weapons with Spectral Scream active, he is still able to melee, cast abilities or maneuver just as freely.
• Spectral Scream drains 3 energy per second and will remain active as long as Chroma has energy. Spectral Scream will end if Chroma runs out of energy or if deactivated by holding down the ability key again (default 1 ).
  • Chroma cannot replenish energy using  Energy Vampire,  Rally Point, Rift Plane's innate energy regeneration, Squad Energy Restores,  Energy Siphon,  Energy Nexus,  Dreamer's Bond, and/or  Wellspring while Spectral Scream is active.
  • Energy Orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb's energy restores,  Rage,  Hunter Adrenaline,  Spellbound Harvest,  Arcane Energize, and  Emergence Dissipate's Energy Motes can still replenish Chroma's energy during Spectral Scream.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Elemental alignment determines the ability effects of  Elemental Ward and the elemental damage type of  Effigy.
  • Spectral Scream's damage can be boosted by the Fury aspect of  Vex Armor.
• The AoE cone is directed from the point of the animation as opposed to toward the crosshair. This means that diving rolls will divert the aim.
• A visual effect lingers after the cone of damage, dependent on element.

Info

• Chroma expends 50 Energy to emit an aura of elemental energy, empowering himself and nearby allies within 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 meters for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds, providing both offensive and defensive buffs.
• Elemental Ward exhibits different effects depending on Chroma's current elemental alignment, determined by Chroma's primary emission color or the selected element of  Spectral Scream.

• Elemental Auras of any type from two or more Chromas do not stack and only the first aura will apply its benefits as long as the player is within buff range. For example, two  Heat auras do not increase damage nor health values, and possessing a  Heat aura will negate receiving a  Cold aura.
• Has a casting delay of 1 second. The animation interrupts movement and other actions.
• Elemental Ward cannot be recast while active.
• Elemental Ward does not work on Nekros' Shadows.
• Subsuming Chroma to the Helminth will offer Elemental Ward and its augments to be used by other Warframes. The Ward's effects are determined by the Warframe's primary emission color.

Info

• Chroma expends 75 Energy and enters a state of primal rage, sustaining an Armor and damage buffing aura with a radius of 8 / 10 / 15 / 18 meters for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds. While active, Chroma and his allies within aura range gain the Scorn armor buff once Chroma's Shields are hit or performs a melee kill, and the Fury damage buff once his Health is damaged or performs a ranged weapon kill.
  • Scorn increases Warframe Armor by 0.5% / 0.625% / 0.75% / 0.875% for every point of shields lost or 7 / ? / ? / 15% per melee kill, up to a maximum of 200% / 250% / 300% / 350%.
  • Fury increases weapon and Chroma's abilities' base damage by 2% / 2.25% / 2.5% / 2.75% for every point of health lost or 7 / ? / ? / 15% per ranged weapon kill (doubled for weakspot kills), up to a maximum of 200% / 225% / 250% / 275%.
  • Scorn, Fury, and conversion percentages are linearly affected by  Ability Strength.
    • E.g., with  Intensify,  Steel Fiber and maximum Scorn at rank 3, Chroma's armor will be at:

      Base Armor × (1 + Armor Mods + Scorn Modifier × (1 + Strength Mods)) =

      370 × (1 + 1 + 3.5 × (1 + 0.3)) = 2,423.5.

    • E.g., with  Intensify,  Serration and maximum Fury at rank 3, a weapon with 100 base damage will be at:

      Base Damage × (1 + Damage Mods + Fury Modifier × (1 + Strength Mods)) =

      100 × (1 + 1.65 + 2.75 × (1 + 0.3)) = 622.5.

    • Both Scorn and Fury are additive multipliers that function the same as (and add together with) mods like  Steel Fiber and base-damage-increasing mods like  Serration. If these mods are present, all the multipliers are added together before any further calculations such as elemental damage mods, critical hit mods, or multishot mods.
  • Scorn and Fury are tracked from 0% to their maximum increase in the HUD next to Chroma's shield and health indicators.
    • Scorn and Fury will gradually increase each time shields or health are hit, and each time Chroma gets a melee or ranged weapon kill, until they reach their maximum percentages. 400 shield points must be lost to maximize Scorn, and 100 health points must be lost to maximize Fury.
    • Alternatively, 24 Enemies must be killed with Melee to maximize Scorn, and 19 Enemies must be killed with Ranged Weapons to maximize Fury.
  • Hits on overshields count towards Scorn accumulation.
  • Shield drain from a Hijack payload counts towards Scorn accumulation.
  • Multiple Chromas' Scorn and Fury buffs will stack together.
• Ability Synergy:
  •  Spectral Scream Will increase the Scorn buff on kills. The Fury aspect of Vex Armor boosts the damage output of  Spectral Scream and  Effigy.
  •  Effigy will only maintain the damage increase from Fury so long as Chroma's  Effigy is within range of Vex Armor.
• Vex Armor is a one-handed action. As such, it can be used while performing various maneuvers and actions without interruption.
• Vex Armor can be recast while active, retaining the existing buffs.
• When recast with a higher power strength than the current active buff, the max Scorn and Fury limits will only be increased if Chroma has not already reached their respective limits.
  • E.g., If Vex Armor is casted with 100% power strength, then recast while it's still active with the Energy Conversion buff, the Scorn and Fury buffs max limit will be increased to 525% (350 * 1.5) and 412% (275 * 1.5) only if the buffs weren't at the existing limit of 350% and 275% respectively. If Scorn has reached the limit but Fury has not when recast with a higher power strength, then only Fury will benefit from the increased power strength, and vice versa.

Info

• Chroma expends 50 Energy to shed his outer pelt, imbued with elemental energy while sprouting wings and converting it into a stationary floating sentry with 1000 / 2000 / 4000 / 8000 Flesh health and 140 Ferrite Armor. The sentry will attack all enemies within 20 meters with a continuous stream of elemental energy, dealing 100 / 200 / 300 / 400  Heat,  Electricity,  Toxin, or  Cold damage per tick with a ?% status chance at 5 ticks per second. If enemies come within 5 meters of the sentry, it will periodically unleash a radial knockback that inflicts 200  Heat,  Electricity,  Toxin, or  Cold damage and  Ragdoll. The sentry can also unleash a radial roar to temporarily stun all enemies within 30 meters.
  • Damage type is based on Chroma's current elemental alignment, determined by Chroma's primary emission color or the selected element of  Spectral Scream.
• Enemies killed by the sentry have a 15% / 30% / 45% / 60% chance to drop additional credits. In addition, all credits that drop within 10 meters of the sentry yield 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% additional credits.
  • For enemies killed by the sentry within the percentage credit bonus range, credit income is increased by an average of 43.75% / 95% / 153.75% / 220%. This assumes the credit chance on kill results in double credits from that enemy.
• While Effigy is active, Chroma can fight in his lightened form, gaining 20% movement speed but with a 50% armor reduction.
  • The armor reduction is a multiplicative penalty that's applied to Chroma's total armor (e.g., with a maxed  Steel Fiber and  Intensify, Chroma with  Vex Armor at full capacity will have his armor lowered to 350 × (1 + 1.1 + 3.5 × 1.3) × 0.5 = 1,163.75 when Effigy is activated).
• Effigy drains 10 energy per second while active, and will deactivate if Chroma runs out of energy, sentry health is depleted, or if manually deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 4 ).
  • Channeling energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
  • Chroma cannot gain energy from  Energy Vampire,  Rally Point, Rift Plane's innate energy regeneration, Squad Energy Restores,  Energy Siphon,  Energy Nexus,  Dreamer's Bond, and/or  Wellspring while Effigy is active.
  • Energy Orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb's energy restores,  Rage,  Hunter Adrenaline,  Spellbound Harvest,  Arcane Energize, and  Emergence Dissipate's Energy Motes can still replenish Chroma's energy while Effigy is active.
• Ability Synergy: Effigy's damage per tick and knockback damage can be boosted by the Fury aspect of  Vex Armor.
  • Effigy will only maintain the damage increase from Fury so long as Chroma's Effigy is within range of  Vex Armor.
• When deactivated, Chroma can teleport his pelt from anywhere onto himself. This will stop movement and interrupt any action Chroma is doing, such as reloading, leaving a player vulnerable.
  • When deactivated while sliding, Chroma's pelt will be reapplied to him without triggering the animation, even if the player immediately cancels his slide.
• Both the initial cast and the return of Chroma's pelt will cease any actions as they are a two-handed ability.
