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).
• 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.
