• Saryn expends 50 energy to imbue all her weapons with potent toxins for 20 / 25 / 35 / 45 seconds, dealing an extra hit for 20% / 24% / 26% / 30% of the weapon's total damage as  Toxin damage (doubled for melee weapons), which has a guaranteed  Toxin proc on every strike.
  • Toxic Lash adds an extra  Toxin attack that scales with weapon damage on hit, before health and armor resistances.
    • For example, an unmodded weapon that hits for 200 damage with a Rank 3 Toxic Lash and a Rank 5  Intensify, Toxic Lash will deal: 200 × 0.3 × 1.3 = 78  Toxin damage which ticks for 78 × 0.5 = 39  Toxin damage per second.
    •  Toxin mods will apply their toxin mod multiplier to Toxic Lash's  Toxin ticks, regardless if they are combined into other elements.
      • This includes  Venom Dose, which is added similarly to elemental mods.
    • Extra  Toxin damage does not combine with weapon elements.
    • Faction Damage Mods, after first applying, will multiply Toxic Lash's hit a second time, and multiply its  Toxin ticks a third time, effectively triple-dipping.
    • Status Duration Mods and Saryn's own passive affect the duration of the  Toxin proc.
    • Most weapon hits will trigger a Toxic Lash attack, including  Acid Shells and  Concealed Explosives, but not  Bursting Mass or  Pathocyst's maggots.
    • Damage is affected by Ancient Disruptor auras and other enemies that reduce ability damage, unlike other weapon buffing skills.
    • Toxic Lash's damage instance does not charge Incarnon Transmutation.
  • Cast animation of ~1 second is affected by Casting Speed.
    • Saryn is immune to crowd control during the cast animation.
• Casting Toxic Lash is a one-handed action that can be done while performing many actions without interrupting them, including reloading, charging, shooting, maneuvering, and while on a zipline.
  • Can be recast to refresh its duration.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Toxic Lash can make  Spores burst with every attack, even without direct hits.
  • Hitting a spore while Toxic Lash is active applies an additional  Toxin proc.

Main article: Contagion Cloud

Contagion Cloud is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Saryn that causes kills made with  Toxic Lash, and damage over time effects generated by it, to leave behind a poisonous cloud that deals  Toxin damage over time to enemies within it. Melee kills double the damage dealt by the cloud.

• While playing on client (Not as host), the use of toxic lash significantly reduces critical hit chance, to the point where having over 400% critical chance will only cause occasional critical hits, not guaranteed red crits as it should. This will only persist as long as toxic lash is active.
