Info
- Zephyr launches a rapidly traveling slice of dense air towards her aiming reticle, expending
50 energy while grounded or
25 energy while airborne. Upon colliding with a surface or travelling its maximum distance of 100 meters, the slice explodes in a
4 / 5 / 7 / 8 meters radius, inflicting
200 / 300 / 400 / 500
Impact,
Puncture, and
Slash damage with a 50% Status Chance as well as
Knockdown and
Ragdoll. Each enemy hit directly by the slice also increases Airburst's damage by 35%.
- Tap the ability key (default 2 ) to pull enemies towards the center of the blast. Hold down the ability key to push enemies away instead.
- Airburst's pull force lingers for 2 seconds on the surface it collides with, during which the affected enemies remain ragdolled and gradually slide toward the center.
- Damage distribution is 18.75%
Impact, 12.5%
Puncture, and 68.75%
Slash.
- Airburst projectiles have innate punch through and can bypass certain objects in the environment (e.g. closed doors).
- Tap the ability key (default 2 ) to pull enemies towards the center of the blast. Hold down the ability key to push enemies away instead.
- The explosion can damage objects and enemies through walls and other cover.
- Casting Airburst is a One-Handed Action, meaning it can be used while performing many actions without interrupting them, including reloading, charging, shooting, and moving (either sprinting or sliding).
- Subsuming Zephyr to the Helminth will offer Airburst and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
- Subsumed Airburst includes the tap-cast for wind vacuum and hold-cast for wind explosion.

Tips & Tricks
- Airburst is an effective way to deal with large swarms of enemies, especially melee, and when they are huddled together.
- Airburst allows players to apply crowd-control effects on enemies in the distance.
- Synergizes well with Zephyr's
Tail Wind as the latter allows Zephyr to stay airborne longer, halving the casting cost of the ability.
