Unused Mod Capacity increases the Warframe's Energy at the start of missions.

> Start missions with |AMOUNT| Energy

> Energy recovers at |AMOUNT| per second

Energy of a Warframe is a resource used mainly to cast abilities. Warframes have 4 abilities that at base, cost up to 100 energy to cast. Almost every Warframe has their own energy-pool with varying capacities depending on the types and costs of their various abilities, with the exceptions of HildrynIcon272 Hildryn, who has no energy but uses shields, and LavosIcon272 Lavos, having no energy but instead using a cooldown system.

Like health and shields, a Warframe's energy capacity scales with their rank and through the use of mods or buffs. It is also worth noting that the words "power" and "energy" are often used interchangeably by members of the community.

Increasing Energy Capacity[]

Mods[]

These are the only mods currently in the game that increase energy capacity. It is worth noting that Mod TT 20px Flow, Mod TT 20px Primed Flow, and Mod TT 20px Archon Flow cannot be used together. Mod TT 20px Auxiliary Power only works on Archwings, and Mod TT 20px Adrenaline Boost in Conclave.

Formula For Modded Energy Capacity[]

These mods increase the energy capacity of a Warframe with the following the formula:

Energy t o t a l = Energy m a x + ( Energy b a s e × Mod Multiplier ) {\displaystyle \text{Energy}_{total}=\text{Energy}_{max}+(\text{Energy}_{base}\times \text{Mod Multiplier})} {\displaystyle {\text{Energy}}_{total}={\text{Energy}}_{max}+({\text{Energy}}_{base}\times {\text{Mod Multiplier}})}

So taking Volt PrimeIcon272 Volt Prime as an example, with 200 base energy and 300 max energy he will have:

  • With Mod TT 20px Flow: 300 × ( 1 + 1.0 ) = 600 {\displaystyle 300 \times (1+1.0)=600} {\displaystyle 300\times (1+1.0)=600}
  • With Mod TT 20px Primed Flow: 300 × ( 1 + 1.85 ) = 855 {\displaystyle 300 \times (1+1.85)=855} {\displaystyle 300\times (1+1.85)=855}
  • With Mod TT 20px Primed Flow and Mod TT 20px Endurance Drift: 300 × ( 1 + 1.85 + 0.10 ) = 885 {\displaystyle 300 \times (1+1.85+0.10)= 885} {\displaystyle 300\times (1+1.85+0.10)=885}

Buffs[]

The only buff currently available to increase energy capacity is Cephalon Suda's Entropy effect. Entropy will release a 25-meter AoE radial attack around the player, dealing 1000 DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic damage and applying the Magnetic Status Effect to enemies in range, increasing damage dealt to their shields. It will also restore 25% of the player's base Energy, and provide a (base) Energy boost of +25% for 30 seconds.

Arcane Helmets[]

These Arcane Helmets are retired helmets that in the past used to grant increased energy capacity to their respective Warframes.

Azure Archon Shard[]

AladVPortrait d
“You're not supposed to be in here! You're going to ruin the surprise!”
The following article/section contains spoilers.
AzureArchonShard

The Azure Archon Shard is a guaranteed reward from defeating Archon Boreal that can provide a flat increase to Energy Capacity after all bonuses are taken into account. Regular Shards provide 50 additional Energy Max, while Tauforged Shards provide 75.

Archon Shards can only be obtained through Archon Hunts, which are unlocked after completing Veilbreaker, or through activities in Albrecht's Laboratories like Netracells, which are unlocked after completing Whispers in the Walls, and Deep Archimedea, after obtaining Rank 5 for the Cavia Syndicate

Starting Energy[]

Starting Energy refers to how much energy a Warframe starts a mission with, when reviving from Death, or going through a Sanctuary Onslaught conduit.

Formula[]

Starting Energy can be increased with unspent mod capacity.

The formula followed is:

Final Starting Energy = Starting Energy + 5 × Free Mod Capacity {\displaystyle \text{Final Starting Energy}=\text{Starting Energy}+5\times \text{Free Mod Capacity}} {\displaystyle {\text{Final Starting Energy}}={\text{Starting Energy}}+5\times {\text{Free Mod Capacity}}}

When Mod TT 20px Preparation is equipped, the formula becomes:

Final Starting Energy = Starting Energy + 5 × Free Mod Capacity + ( Energy Total × Mod Multiplier ) {\displaystyle \text{Final Starting Energy}=\text{Starting Energy}+5\times \text{Free Mod Capacity}+(\text{Energy Total}\times \text{Mod Multiplier})} {\displaystyle {\text{Final Starting Energy}}={\text{Starting Energy}}+5\times {\text{Free Mod Capacity}}+({\text{Energy Total}}\times {\text{Mod Multiplier}})}

Mods[]

Effective Energy Capacity[]

Casting Effective Capacity[]

Similarly to how one can define the concept of "Effective Health" by weighting the number of hit-points with the corresponding damage reduction, one can also define the concept of casting effective energy capacity by weighting the energy capacity using the Ability Efficiency factor:

Effective Energy Capacity c a s t i n g = Energy Capacity 2 Ability Efficiency {\displaystyle \text{Effective Energy Capacity}_{casting}=\frac{\text{Energy Capacity}}{2-\text{Ability Efficiency}}} {\displaystyle {\text{Effective Energy Capacity}}_{casting}={\frac {\text{Energy Capacity}}{2-{\text{Ability Efficiency}}}}}

Since casting cost can not be reduce under 25% of the base cost, the highest possible upper-bound for the effective energy capacity is:

Effective Energy Capacity 4 × Energy Capacity {\displaystyle \text{Effective Energy Capacity}\leq 4\times\text{Energy Capacity}} {\displaystyle {\text{Effective Energy Capacity}}\leq 4\times {\text{Energy Capacity}}}

Toggle Effective Capacity[]

Since the efficiency of toggle abilities depends also on the duration, in that case the formula becomes:

Effective Energy Capacity t o g g l e = Energy Capacity × Ability Duration 2 Ability Efficiency {\displaystyle \text{Effective Energy Capacity}_{toggle}=\frac{\text{Energy Capacity}\times\text{Ability Duration}}{2-\text{Ability Efficiency}}} {\displaystyle {\text{Effective Energy Capacity}}_{toggle}={\frac {{\text{Energy Capacity}}\times {\text{Ability Duration}}}{2-{\text{Ability Efficiency}}}}}

For the case where no energy is recovered and a constant rate of energy is drained, one can also consider the effective toggle duration as follows:

Effective Toggle Duration = Effective Energy Capacity t o g g l e Base Drain Rate {\displaystyle \text{Effective Toggle Duration}=\frac{\text{Effective Energy Capacity}_{toggle}}{\text{Base Drain Rate}}} {\displaystyle {\text{Effective Toggle Duration}}={\frac {{\text{Effective Energy Capacity}}_{toggle}}{\text{Base Drain Rate}}}}

Effective Toggle Duration = Energy Capacity × Ability Duration Base Drain Rate ( 2 Ability Efficiency ) {\displaystyle \text{Effective Toggle Duration}=\frac{\text{Energy Capacity}\times\text{Ability Duration}}{\text{Base Drain Rate}(2-\text{Ability Efficiency})}} {\displaystyle {\text{Effective Toggle Duration}}={\frac {{\text{Energy Capacity}}\times {\text{Ability Duration}}}{{\text{Base Drain Rate}}(2-{\text{Ability Efficiency}})}}}

Effective Toggle Duration = Energy Capacity Modified Drain Rate {\displaystyle \text{Effective Toggle Duration}=\frac{\text{Energy Capacity}}{\text{Modified Drain Rate}}} {\displaystyle {\text{Effective Toggle Duration}}={\frac {\text{Energy Capacity}}{\text{Modified Drain Rate}}}}

Due to the definition of the terms, there are many ways in-which the formula for effective toggle duration can be expressed.

Apart from toggle duration, this can be used to work out the effective duration granted per energy pick up.

Examples[]

Suppose a Prowl130xWhite Prowling IvaraIcon272 Ivara has a modded drain of 0.25 energy/sec. An orb of 50 energy would provide:

50 0.25 = 200  seconds {\displaystyle \frac{50}{0.25}=200\text{ seconds}} {\displaystyle {\frac {50}{0.25}}=200{\text{ seconds}}}

Considering the same Ivara with full energy pool of 744 capacity, she can remain in prowl for:

744 0.25 = 2 , 976  seconds 50  minutes {\displaystyle \frac{744}{0.25}=2,976\text{ seconds}\approx 50\text{ minutes}} {\displaystyle {\frac {744}{0.25}}=2,976{\text{ seconds}}\approx 50{\text{ minutes}}}

Restoring Energy[]

EnergySiphonMod
EquilibriumMod

Energy does not naturally regenerate over time unless the Mod TT 20px Energy Siphon aura mod is equipped by at least one member of the squad. Otherwise, energy must be restored either by picking up Energy Orbs (and Health Orbs with Mod TT 20px Equilibrium) or by a few other means. TrinityIcon272 Trinity and HarrowIcon272 Harrow are the two Warframes with an inherent ability to explicitly restore energy to all Warframes within the squad, and NekrosIcon272 Nekros can Desecrate130xWhite Desecrate nearby corpses for a chance to drop more Energy Orbs. LimboIcon272 Limbo has, and grants, access to the Rift Plane, a dimension in which Warframes regenerate energy over time consistently. The FocusLensZenurik b Zenurik Focus tree grants the FocusEnergyPulse Energy Pulse and FocusEnergizingDash Wellspring abilities; the former being a passive that restores additional energy over-time when picking up Energy Orbs, and the latter being an active ability that creates a dome that restores energy over-time to all Warframes that walk through it.

Two other mods can allow for what can be significant energy restoration by converting a portion of the damage received by enemy attacks on a Warframe's Health into energy: Mod TT 20px Hunter Adrenaline and Mod TT 20px Rage. However, these are obviously very risky for many frames and are only suitable for those that are rather "health-tough" with strong base Health, Armor and self-healing; frames that typically rely on constant Stealth or a Shield-Gating defense will not be able to benefit much from these mods.

Besides the Entropy effect from CephalonSudaSigil Cephalon Suda, the Blight effect from Red Veil also restores 25% of the player's base energy, and provides a base movement speed boost of +10% for 30 seconds. Squad Energy Restores are consumables that can grant energy to nearby teammates in varying amounts, up to 400 total. When using a Prime Warframe, moving close to a Death Orb will cause it to release a radial wave that restores 250 energy to all nearby Warframes within a small radius, this effect can only occur once per orb.

It is important to note that on most occasions, toggled abilities disable energy generation from team abilities, consumables, or passive regeneration methods. Some exceptions to this are ChromaIcon272 Chroma (SpectralScream130xWhite Spectral Scream and Effigy130xWhite Effigy) and partially EquinoxIcon272 Equinox (PacifyProvoke130xWhite Pacify & Provoke and MendMaim130xWhite Mend & Maim).

***Casting any abilities will temporary stop any passive energy regeneration methods from working, due to the the "drain" needs to be accounted for, it is suspected that this draining is coded to be treated like any toggled/channeled abilities. Frames that casts frequently will benefit from passive energy regeneration far lesser than those who casts lesser due to this mechanic.

Abilities[]

Edit

Equinox's Passive

When EquinoxIcon272 Equinox collects Health Orbs or Energy Orbs, 10% of the restored amount is converted into additional Energy and Health respectively.

  • This effect stacks with Mod TT 20px Equilibrium for up to 120% conversion.

Info

  • Garuda slashes herself with her talons as she spins into the air, sacrificing up to 50% of her maximum Health to cleanse all status effects and restore up to EnergyOrb18% / 22% / 30% / 40% of her maximum Energy capacity. Garuda cannot reduce her health below 2 health points using Bloodletting.
    • Health cost is 50% of Garuda's maximum HP, including mods.
    • Energy gain is the listed % of her maximum energy, including mods, Helminth invigorations and slotted AzureArchonShard Azure Archon Shards.
    • Energy gain follows the formula:
      Total Energy Gain = Base Energy Gain ÷ (2 - Ability Efficiency).
    • Bloodletting can be cast if Garuda has less than 50% of her maximum HP remaining, but will only restore energy proportionate to the amount of HP sacrificed. For example, if she has 25% of her health left (or 50% of 50%) when Bloodletting, the energy gain will be halved.
  • Cannot be cast if Garuda has 2 or less health points.
  • This ability does not trigger health damage into energy conversion mods like Mod TT 20px Rage or Mod TT 20px Hunter Adrenaline.

Main article: Blood Forge

Blood Forge is a Warframe Augment Mod for GarudaIcon272 Garuda's Bloodletting130xWhite Bloodletting to reload her equipped weapon up to a percentage.

Blood Forge

Tips & Tricks

  • This ability gains no benefits from increasing health. Having lower max health allows flat HP regeneration such as health orbs or OberonIcon272 Oberon's Renewal130xWhite Renewal to generate more energy more quickly.
  • Synergizes with BloodAltar130xWhite Blood Altar's continuous healing to give Garuda a near infinite supply of energy.
  • Despite sacrificing HP, Bloodletting is an effective way of shedding off any harmful status effects (especially slowing effects and DoT procs from DmgSlashSmall64 Slash and DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage), possibly improving her survivability better than not removing the procs.
  • Bloodletting is a powerful ability to combine with Helminth-infused toggled abilities that constantly drain energy, the most notable being SevagothIcon272 Sevagoth's Gloom130xWhite Gloom as it provides Garuda with another self-healing ability besides BloodAltar130xWhite Blood Altar to constantly regenerate her energy reserves.
    • The Gloom and Bloodletting combo makes Garuda viable at completing Steel Path missions alone, including missions not normally frequented by players such as the Rathuum nodes and the Zealoid Prelate battle in Deimos.
    • SeekingTalons130xWhite Seeking Talons also synergize extremely well with this build as the damage-over-time of her quills also triggers Gloom healing and, subsequently, powers Bloodletting. The quills' homing ability also offers little chance for enemies to escape and can even track and hit hiding enemies, ensuring Garuda can be healed by Gloom as long as they stay within the aura.
    • MoltReconstruct Molt Reconstruct can work as a stand-in for Gloom's regeneration by allowing any energy spent to heal a large portion of Garuda's health. Often healing her to full in a single cast.
      • Bloodletting itself will not restore health however, as it does not expend any Energy.
  • Equipping Mod TT 20px Blood Forge and using Bloodletting allows Garuda to quickly reload otherwise slow-reloading weapons (such as the Strun Strun, Nagantaka Nagantaka, TenetEnvoy Tenet Envoy and KuvaZarr Kuva Zarr) and increase their overall DPS potential. It comes at the risk of getting struck while already losing her Health to reload, thus she should consider safeguards such as a nearby Blood Altar or equipping Mod TT 20px Quick Thinking and/or Mod TT 20px Gladiator Finesse, the mods accounting for her replenished Energy while using Bloodletting.
    • Slotting AzureArchonShard Azure Archon Shards for extra Energy while also equipping Quick Thinking will make Garuda deceptively durable due to the resulting increased efficiency of regaining Energy via Bloodletting.
    • Slotting AzureArchonShard Azure Archon Shards for extra Armor instead of extra Energy grants Garuda more effective hitpoints since Mod TT 20px Quick Thinking benefits from Armor.
  • If a Garuda player wishes to take advantage of the reworked passive to further amplify damage output, Helminth can replace Bloodletting with another damage-related self buff ability, such as XakuIcon272 Xaku's Xata'sWhisper130xWhite Xata's Whisper or MirageIcon272 Mirage's Eclipse130xWhite Eclipse, as these abilities synergize well with the damage buff and Garuda's own SeekingTalons130xWhite Seeking Talons, while still maintaining self-survival options with DreadMirror130xWhite Dread Mirror and Blood Altar.
    • In exchange for losing this ability to generate Energy, Garuda can equip Mod TT 20px Rage or Mod TT 20px Hunter Adrenaline so she gains Energy while taking damage - which will be offset by a nearby Blood Altar.

100% (DmgSlashSmall64 Slash status chance for Mach Rush)


100% (base melee damage bonus and stagger chance from Redline)

Info

  • Gauss expends EnergyOrb50 energy to shield himself in a barrier of kinetic energy with one swift motion, protecting himself against incoming DmgImpactSmall64 Impact, DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture, DmgSlashSmall64 Slash, DmgColdSmall64 Cold, DmgFireSmall64 Heat, and DmgBlastSmall64 Blast damage types, while also becoming immune to DmgFireSmall64 Heat, DmgColdSmall64 Cold, DmgBlastSmall64 Blast, RollingDroneAvatar Stagger, and Knockdown b Knockdown statuses for AbilityDurationBuff15 / 20 / 25 / 30 seconds. While active, Kinetic Plating drains 1% battery power per second and 0.1 % Hit Damage {\displaystyle 0.1\%\cdot {\sqrt {\text{Hit Damage}}}} {\displaystyle 0.1\%\cdot {\sqrt {\text{Hit Damage}}}} battery power per hit received, to reduce affected damage by a minimum of AbilityStrengthBuff14% / 16% / 18% / 20% at empty battery, up to a maximum of AbilityStrengthBuff70% / 80% / 90% / 100% at full battery. 2% / 3% / 4% / 5% of incoming damage is converted into extra Energy for Gauss. Melee attacks while Kinetic Plating is active will restore 0.25% battery. Kinetic Plating deactivates on duration end or by manually pressing the ability key again (default 2 ).
    • Maximum damage reduction cannot exceed 100%. Minimum damage reduction cannot exceed 50%.
      • Damage reduction is calculated as:
        Min Damage Reduction + (Max Damage Reduction - Min Damage Reduction) × Current Battery Level
      • For example, with Kinetic Plating at rank 3, 100% Ability Strength, and battery level at 80%, the damage reduction will be: 20% + (100% - 20%) × 80% = 84%
    • Battery drain per second, battery drain per hit, energy restore per hit, and battery charge per melee attack are not affected by Mods.
    • Both damage reduction and energy restoration still function even when the battery is empty.
      • Energy restoration is calculated before all damage mitigation.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • While Kinetic Plating is active, it adds 100% DmgSlashSmall64 Slash damage to MachRush130xWhite Mach Rush's shockwave, and makes it inflict a DmgSlashSmall64 Slash proc on enemies caught in the explosion radius.
    • While the battery level is boosted during Redline130xWhite Redline, Kinetic Plating also grants Gauss a 100% base melee damage bonus and 100% chance to stagger enemies on hit.

Tips & Tricks

  • Kinetic Plating stacks and synergizes well with Mod TT 20px Adaptation.
    • Kinetic Plating provides initial protection while Adaptation builds up damage resistance from 0% to 90%.
    • Though Kinetic Plating's damage resistance can reach 100% at full battery, it cannot cover all damage types, making it possible to get instantly killed by high level toxin damage.
      • Adaptation's damage reduction can alleviate this downside.
  • Kinetic Plating stacks with Mod TT 20px Hunter Adrenaline and, when combined, can quickly restore energy while under heavy fire.
  • Kinetic Plating synergizes well with Mod TT 20px Quick Thinking as it reduces energy drain upon fatal hit, and also compensates with its energy restoration.
  • Kinetic Plating does not require high Ability Strength to be viable as its damage reduction is primarily scaled with battery level.
    • Damage reduction will be 84% with 100% Ability Strength at 80% battery level.
    • This can be scaled up to 90%, which requires 250% Ability Strength.
    • However, at full battery, damage reduction will reach 100% if Ability Strength is 100% or more.

Misc: 60 s (casting cooldown and max duration cap)

Info

  • Gyre expends EnergyOrb75 energy as she surges a potent electric current through herself as Gyral Blocks envelop her forearms. Cathode Grace grants Gyre a AbilityStrengthBuff25% / 30% / 40% / 50% Critical Chance bonus to her weapons and abilities, as she constantly recharges AbilityStrengthBuff1 / 1.15 / 1.3 / 1.5 Energy points per second, lasting for an initial duration of AbilityDurationBuff8 seconds. For each enemy killed directly by Gyre, or killed by any source while affected by a Status Effect inflicted by Gyre, Cathode Grace's remaining duration is extended by AbilityDurationBuff3 seconds, up to a maximum duration capped at 60 seconds. In addition to the energy cost requirement, casting the ability triggers a 60 seconds cooldown before the next activation is allowed.
    • Casting Cathode Grace is a full-body animation that interrupts Gyre's grounded movement and other actions.
    • Cannot be recast while active or on cooldown.
    • Critical Chance bonus for weapons is additive to the bonus from mods such as Mod TT 20px Point Strike, Mod TT 20px Pistol Gambit, and Mod TT 20px True Steel.
    • Critical Chance bonus for Gyre's abilities is a percentage point increase.
      • Bonus is additive to Gyre's passive.
  • Casting an ability will stop the energy regeneration for 1 second.
    • Cathode Grace's remaining duration is shown on the ability icon. Once duration elapses, the remaining cooldown timer replaces the duration timer on the ability icon.
    • The ability's cooldown starts immediately when Cathode Grace's duration timer begins to count down.
    • Audible cues play when Cathode Grace's duration ends, and when its cooldown is complete.
    • Kills made while manning a Railjack turret, be it with direct fire or abilities such as Mod TT 20px Shatter Burst, also extend Cathode Grace duration.
    • When the ability is cancelled (falling out of bounds) it takes the highest duration it gained from kills/assists and subtracts it from the Cooldown. Example: You reached 59 seconds on the ability icon and later on you fall out of bounds with 20 seconds on CathodeGrace130xWhite Cathode Grace's timer, CathodeGrace130xWhite Cathode Grace subtracts 59 seconds from the cooldown instead of the 20 seconds and your CathodeGrace130xWhite Cathode Grace will have no cooldown.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Gyre's passive and Cathode Grace enable ability critical hits by granting 0% to 300% critical chance to damage and status effects dealt by Arcsphere130xWhite Arcsphere, CoilHorizon130xWhite Coil Horizon, and Rotorswell130xWhite Rotorswell.
    • Direct kills by Gyre's abilities, their DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity status effects, and kill assists from allies extend Cathode Grace's duration.
  • Gyre visually bows gracefully with hand gestures as hundreds of Gyral Blocks detach from her coil gown, electromagnetically levitating into the air. Gyre finishes her bow, culminating in a powerful posture that attracts and concentrates all Gyral Blocks to encircle her forearms in two spherical clusters. The Gyral Blocks rhythmically pulse in a wave-like pattern, while Gyre's body is enveloped in electricity.

Cathode Current

Tips & Tricks

    • As Gyre already generates her own Energy while Cathode Grace is active, she can forego of, or even sacrifice, Ability Efficiency stats in exchange for amplifying other stats, such as increased Duration with Mod TT 20px Constitution or firepower such as by equipping Mod TT 20px Blind Rage.
    • As Cathode Grace has a rather long animation time, Gyre is vulnerable while activating the ability. Equipping Mod TT 20px Quick Thinking not only gives her a safeguard, it also can make her tankier by expending energy to prevent lethal damage - which she can quickly replenish by constantly attacking and keeping Cathode Grace up.

AbilityDurationBuff Duration:20 / 25 / 30 / 35 s
AbilityRangeBuff Range:13 / 15 / 17 / 20 m

Misc: 4.0x (headshot multiplier)

Info

  • Harrow chants in ritual to channel EnergyOrb25 Energy into the thurible at a rate of AbilityStrengthBuff10 / 10.83 / 12.5 / 15% of the base energy consumed per tick.
  • Pressing the ability key again (default 3 ) or running out of energy stops the channeling, causing the thurible to generate an aura of incense around Harrow with a radius of AbilityRangeBuff13 / 15 / 17 / 20 meters that lasts for AbilityDurationBuff20 / 25 / 30 / 35 seconds. While active, each enemy killed by Harrow restores the charged amount of energy to Harrow and all allies inside his aura; if an enemy is killed by headshot, the amount of energy restored per player is multiplied by 4.
    • Energy per kill uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength and Ability Efficiency:
      Energy Per Kill = 1 + [Energy Channeled × 15% ÷ (2 - Ability Efficiency)] × Ability Strength
      • With a maxed Mod TT 20px Intensify and maxed Mod TT 20px Streamline, draining 25 energy will yield 1 + [25 × 15% ÷ (2 - 130%)] × 130% = 7.9643 energy per kill and ~7.9 × 4 = 31.8 energy per headshot kill.
    • Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
    • Aura radius is affected by Ability Range.
    • Channeling speed is affected by Casting Speed.
    • Enemies killed anywhere by Harrow using ranged and melee weapons will reward energy; weapons with deployables such as the Zenistar Zenistar are also eligible to reward energy from indirect kills.
    • Players using toggled abilities that drain energy per second can not gain energy from Thurible.
  • While channeling energy into the thurible, the current amount of energy per kill is displayed to the right of the aiming reticle. The color of the text and stylized art are affected by Harrow's chosen Warframe energy color.
  • Thurible's buff icon is displayed beside the shield and health indicators on the HUD, with the amount of energy per kill indicated below the buff icon.
  • Upon killing an enemy via body-shot or headshot, a brief message displays above the ability icons indicating the total amount of energy restored per kill or per headshot kill.
  • Channeling Thurible is a two-handed upper body animation that disables weapon use, casting other abilities and Pickups collection, but allows player movement and parkour Maneuvers.
  • Can be recast while aura is active to channel energy. Channeling ends the previous instance of Thurible.
  • While active, Harrow is surrounded in a glow of energy and his incense aura is constantly visible to all players. Both visual effects are affected by his chosen Warframe energy color.

Warding Thurible is a Warframe Augment Mod for HarrowIcon272 Harrow that reduces damage taken by allies within Thurible130xWhite Thurible's range when channeled, and grants extra energy charge if those Allies are hit.

Warding Thurible

Tips & Tricks

  • While channeling Thurible, you can still move and use parkour maneuvers such as roll, slide, bullet jump, aim glide, wall hop and wall cling to evade incoming enemy attacks.
  • Mod for Ability Strength and Ability Efficiency to increase the conversion rate per energy point spent. Natural Talent and Speed Drift greatly increase the speed at which each energy point is drained.
  • Mod TT 20px Flow (and Mod TT 20px Primed Flow) synergize with this ability. Higher maximum energy allows you to channel even stronger buffs, at the cost of longer channeling time.
  • Use Condemn130xWhite Condemn to stop enemies in their tracks, allowing for easy headshot kills to maximize energy gain.
  • When under heavy fire, channel Thurible while under the protection of Covenant130xWhite Covenant to guarantee your safety.
  • Dark energy colors can greatly improve visibility for long range shooting due to Thurible's incense aura being constantly visible to you and your team.
    • However, lighter energy colors can allow teammates to spot the area of effect at a glance and rally to your position for energy restoration.
  • This is most likely a bug, but channeling the Thurible allows Harrow to use his melee with a Gravimag deployed Arch-Gun.

AbilityDurationBuff Duration:30 s
AbilityRangeBuff Range:30 m

Misc: Threat level priority

Info

  • Styanax expends EnergyOrb75 energy to stand his ground and sound a gallant call, increasing his Threat Level while raising his own and his allies' morale within AbilityRangeBuff30 meters. Rally Point grants affected Warframes and Companions AbilityStrengthBuff3 Energy points regeneration per second, with each kill or assisted kill by rallied allies restoring their personal Shield pool by AbilityStrengthBuff20 / 30 / 40 / 50 shield points, which overflow into Overshields. Once cast, Rally Point persists on affected allies, lasting for AbilityDurationBuff30 seconds.
    • The amount of energy regenerated and shields restored are affected by Ability Strength.
    • Energy regeneration does not occur during channeled abilities.
    • If Styanax himself is the caster, shields per kill and energy regen values are displayed as an ability Buff icon beside Styanax's hitpoint indicators.
      • Rally Point from another Styanax displays only the shields per kill and remaining duration timer on the ability buff icon.
    • When Rally Point expires, a war-time drumbeat sound effect plays to alert all rallied players.
  • Can be recast while active to refresh duration to full and buff new allies in range.
  • If there are multiple Styanax players in a squad, the highest buff value will take effect and cannot be overriden by lower valued buffs, unless the timer has less than 10 seconds remaining.
  • Casting Rally Point is a full-body animation that interrupts Styanax's grounded movement and other actions.
    • When cast while airborne, it is a one-handed animation that still allows shooting and movement.
  • Styanax and rallied allies visually pulse with energy lines, while enveloped by a shield-like form-fitting barrier. When a direct kill or kill assist occurs on an enemy by a rallied ally, a wisp of Void energy bursts from the enemy and rapidly flies to that ally to replenish shields.
    • Void wisps are affected by the chosen energy colors on each individual rallied ally.
    • Multiple Void wisps can appear from an enemy when kill-assisted by multiple rallied allies.

Tips & Tricks

    • Rally Point builds up Styanax's shields into Overshields to fuel his passive Hoplite weapon Critical Chance bonus.
    • Energy regen recovers the low costs of AxiosJavelin130xWhite Axios Javelin and TharrosStrike130xWhite Tharros Strike quickly.
    • Axios Javelin's vortex assists in grouping enemies and Tharros Strike's defense reduction cripples them for rapid shield recovery to Styanax and rallied allies on kills/assists.
    • FinalStand130xWhite Final Stand's javelin barrage rapidly inflicts damage to secure kills/assists to strengthen Styanax's shields.

Misc: 4 (number of pulses)
5 (min DmgTrueSmall64 True damage)
1 (max target limit)

Info

  • Trinity expends EnergyOrb50 energy to extract pure energy from a single enemy target within AbilityRangeBuff100 meters. The target is incapacitated in place, glows bright blue and emits 4 energy pulses over AbilityDurationBuff5 / 6 / 7 / 9 seconds. Each energy pulse restores AbilityStrengthBuff10 / 15 / 20 / 25 energy points to Trinity and allied Warframes within a radius of AbilityRangeBuff15 / 17 / 20 / 25 meters, while the target is constantly RollingDroneAvatar Staggered. During this time, AbilityStrengthBuff6.25% of the target's current health is dealt to it as DmgTrueSmall64 True Damage each pulse, bypassing the target's Shields. If the target's health drops, or is already, below AbilityStrengthBuff25% of its maximum value the target will instead be dealt 6.25% × 25% = 1.5625% of the its maximum health as DmgTrueSmall64 True Damage each pulse.
    • If a marked target dies, all remaining pulses are released at once.
    • Pulses are emitted at every quarter of the duration, the first occurring immediately on cast. The final pulse occurs when three-quarters of the duration has elapsed.
      • Increasing AbilityDurationBuff Ability Duration will cause the pulses to take longer to come out, while decreasing Ability Duration quickens the pulses.
    • The 6.25% damage percentage is applied to either the target's remaining health or to 25% of its maximum health - whichever is greater at the time of each pulse. Each energy pulse inflicts at least 5 DmgTrueSmall64 True damage if the resulting damage is below 5 damage points.
    • Cast time of 1.2 seconds is affected by Casting Speed.
  • The pulses' stagger will not interrupt the attacks of heavy enemy units. It also does not affect enemies immune to stagger, such as Grineer Rollers, Corpus Ospreys, or certain bosses.
  • Energy Vampire cannot be recast on the same target until its duration has expired.
  • Energy Vampire cannot be cast on invulnerable targets.
    • If Energy Vampire is cast on a Manic during its vulnerable phase, pulses can continue through its invulnerable phase.
  • Players with channeled abilities active do not gain energy from Energy Vampire.

Main article: Vampire Leech

Vampire Leech is a Warframe Augment Mod for TrinityIcon272 Trinity that causes EnergyVampire130xWhite Energy Vampire to convert excess energy into Shields, and will even boost into Overshields.

Vampire Leech

Tips & Tricks

  • Casting Energy Vampire on a weak enemy and killing it will grant players a quick burst of energy.
  • While increased duration slows energy gain by spreading the pulses over a longer period, killing the target quickly negates this penalty, allowing Trinity's other abilities to benefit from increased duration.
  • Decreasing Energy Vampire's duration via Corrupted Mods will quicken the energy restoration at the cost of a shortened span of stagger control per cast.
    • With a maxed Mod TT 20px Transient Fortitude and Mod TT 20px Fleeting Expertise, a rank-3 Energy Vampire will trigger all four pulses over 1.125 seconds, staggering the target only once at most.
    • A low duration build will allow Trinity to cast Energy Vampire multiple times on a single target, providing a large source of energy and quickly dealing true damage.
  • If used on Grineer Latchers, the Latcher will not be destroyed by the pulses and Energy Vampire can be cast upon it repeatedly for more energy. The effect will stop if it latches onto a player.
  • Energy Vampire can be used on Sortie Bosses to make quick work of them, as it deals percentage based damage.

Bugs

  • If Energy Vampire is cast on a Shockwave MOA readying to stomp the ground, it will still produce a shockwave and won't be stunned.
  • In Corpus levels, if the player targets something outside of the above-mentioned target tracking range, the nearest turret (and possibly cameras) will be targeted.
  • If Energy Vampire is cast on an Eidolon Vomvalsyt, it will not emit the remaining energy pulses if their physical form is destroyed before the effect wears off.

AbilityRangeBuff Range:8 / 10 / 12 / 15 m (energy field max radius)

Misc: 8-18 s (energy orb drop interval)

Info

  • Hildryn expends EnergyOrb100 shields or overshields to activate her jet thrusters as she lifts off from the ground. Hildryn gains vertical and horizontal flight capabilities using the movement (WASD ), crouch (Ctrl ), and jump (Spacebar ) hotkeys, similar to Archwing Maneuvers but without the Afterburner. While active, her shield matrix drains EnergyOrbAbilityRangeBuff25 shield points per second to continuously generate a energy field with a range of AbilityRangeBuff8 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters; the energy field shrinks as Hildryn gains vertical height and expands as she is closer to the ground. Enemies inside the energy field and within Hildryn's line of sight drain EnergyOrbAbilityRangeBuff25 shield points per second per enemy, causing a fiery energy geyser to erupt from beneath them; enemies burned by energy geysers are suspended in midair, receive AbilityStrengthBuff100 / 125 / 150 / 200 DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation damage per second, and drop an Energy Orb every 8-18 seconds. Deactivating Aegis Storm (default 4 ) causes Hildryn to slam into the ground, knocking down and dealing AbilityStrengthBuff100 / 300 / 400 / 500 DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage against all enemies inside the energy field.
    • Geyser damage is increased as the energy field's radius becomes smaller.
  • Hildryn in Aegis Storm cannot ascend higher than 10 meters above the horizontal surface underneath her. If Hildryn is above this threshold when activating the ability or due to descending changes in elevation, she will float downward. If Hildryn moves onto terrain that has a higher elevation than her original casting location, she will not maintain her current altitude limit and will rise to match the terrain.
  • Hildryn's BalefireCharger Balefire Charger is the only weapon usable while this ability is active. Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapons cannot be used with Aegis Storm.
    • However, Hildryn cannot zoom in with her Balefire Charger during Aegis Storm.
    • While Hildryn holds two Balefire Chargers instead of one while Aegis Storm is active, this is a purely cosmetic feature and has no effect on the weapon's effectiveness.
  • Pillage130xWhite Pillage and Helminth subsumed abilities cannot be cast while Aegis Storm is active.
  • Hildryn can perform dodging while Aegis Storm is active, at the cost of using EnergyOrb50 shields per dodge.
  • Aegis Storm's movement speed is affected by movement speed increases such as VoltIcon272 Volt's Speed130xWhite Speed and WispIcon272 Wisp's Haste Reservoirs130xWhite Reservoirs.
  • Hildryn is unable to accomplish any action that requires the Use key (default X ) while Aegis Storm is active, thus cannot interact with consoles, pick up datamasses, or revive allies from bleedout.
    • The Operator can still be used while in Aegis Storm, and be able to do these actions without deactivating the ability.
  • While Aegis Storm is active large shield pads appear above each of Hildryn's shoulders. These pads appear above the pads that are briefly visible when Hildryn casts Pillage.
    • Unlike the pads that appear for Pillage and Haven130xWhite Haven; which appear to be generated by small spheres; the pads visible when Aegis Storm is active appear to be generated by two Balefire Chargers, Hildryn's Exalted Weapon.
      • The Balefire Charger visible in Hildryn's hand when she casts Balefire appears to have five energy streams coming out of it. These are not visible in the Balefire Chargers generating her shield pads when Aegis Storm is active.

Tips & Tricks

  • While channeling Aegis Storm, Hildryn can benefit from damage reduction from both Mod TT 20px Agility Drift and Mod TT 20px Aviator.
  • Even though they can't be used, weapons with Weapon Augments can still trigger their Syndicate Radial Effects, as long as they were the equipped weapon when activating Aegis Storm. Using Balefire Charger will prevent these effects, as that then becomes the equipped weapon. This is useful with the Perrin Sequences' Sequence effect, which recovers 25% of the warframe's shield, which is especially effective for Hildryn.
  • Operator Mode can be used without cancelling Aegis Storm, allowing Hildryn to crowd-control a large area of the battlefield while the operator uses their Amp or resurrects teammates. This also supplies affinity to an operator's Amp. However, take care not to die as operator, as Transference Static's shield depletion is particularly crippling for Hildryn.
  • While channeling, Hildryn's shields can be restored by VoltIcon272 Volt's Mod TT 20px Capacitance, TrinityIcon272 Trinity's Blessing130xWhite Blessing, Night EquinoxIcon272 Equinox's MendMaim130xWhite Mend & Maim, and MagIcon272 Mag's Polarize130xWhite Polarize. Trinity's Mod TT 20px Vampire Leech will not restore shields.
  • Mod TT 20px Balefire Surge can replenish Hildryn's own shields during Aegis Storm.

Misc: 30% / 40% / 50% / 60% (health orb drop chance)
22.5% / 32% / 42.5% / 54% (drop table chance)

Info

  • Nekros emits an aura of dark power that affects every corpse within a radius of AbilityRangeBuff10 / 15 / 20 / 25 meters, consuming the corpses and granting a 30% / 40% / 50% / 60% chance to spawn a health orb and a 22.5% / 32% / 42.5% / 54% chance to roll the corpse's drop table again to produce additional loot. After a 2 second delay on the first corpse within range, corpses are consumed one at a time in random order, with subsequent corpses consumed at a rate of 3 corpses per second. Each corpse consumed drains EnergyOrb10 energy; the ability will remain active until toggled off or Nekros runs out of energy.
  • Despite being a channeled ability, this does not interrupt energy regeneration from any source including Mod TT 20px Energy Siphon and FocusEnergizingDash Wellspring, and it is unaffected by Ability Duration.
  • Desecrate does not activate channeling-based Incarnon Genesis perk bonuses.
  • Bodies that are cut in half before or after death by taking DmgSlashSmall64 Slash damage to the torso are each treated as distinct "corpses", each part with their own chance to yield additional loot. This does not apply to individual limbs that have been removed, but only the large sections of corpses.
    • Previously, DmgColdSmall64 Cold procs being on a target when they died would result in an ice statue, which could then be shattered into two parts to desecrate. Currently this no longer functions in game, and results only in a frozen torso that cannot be broken down further, and therefore can only be desecrated once.
  • Desecrate affects the corpses of most enemies as well as dead faction allies from Invasions, The Grustrag Three, Eximus enemy corpses, and Corrupted Vor's corpse if it is left behind. Desecrate also affects the following:
    • Vaporized enemies as long as Desecrate is cast before they fully disappear.
    • Enemies vaporized by Nova's MolecularPrime130xWhite Molecular Prime even after the corpses have disappeared. When Desecrate is cast, the corpses appear and disappear quickly.
    • Shadow corpses from ShadowsOfTheDead130xWhite Shadows of the Dead. Desecrating shadow corpses will only yield health orbs.
  • Desecrate does not work on enemies that explode on death, such as Volatile Runners, or on certain bosses including Sprag and Ven'kra Tel.
  • Sometimes, corpses may yield no drops even if Desecrate's attempt at the extra loot roll was successful, because the enemy's loot table can include a chance to drop nothing.
  • Successfully desecrated corpses will glow with the chosen energy color and turn into smoke before fading away.
    • At the start of a desecration, there is a small time frame where corpses can be dismembered. The corpse (or bisected corpse) will then reappear, ready to be desecrated again.
    • Up to four Desecrate's attempts can be done on a single enemy with two well-timed dismemberments.
  • Initial activation of the ability has a cast time of 1.8 seconds.

Despoil

Tips & Tricks

  • Know the timespan for a body to completely disintegrate:
    • Grineer and Corpus corpses will disintegrate in 15 seconds.
    • Infested corpses and Avalanche130xWhite Avalanched enemies will disintegrate in 5 seconds.
    • Corpses from enemies affected with MolecularPrime130xWhite Molecular Prime will disintegrate in 3 seconds.
    • Corpses from enemies affected with Miasma130xWhite Miasma will disintegrate within a second.
    • Enemies that do not leave bodies behind cannot be desecrated.
  • Most useful in Survival missions, due to the large amount of enemies.
    • Nekros can also desecrate personal life support from bodies.
  • Weapons with high DmgSlashSmall64 Slash damage are likely to dismember enemies into multiple body parts.
  • Desecrate synergizes well with Mod TT 20px Equilibrium – every energy orb picked up will regenerate health and vice versa, allowing for Desecrate to be constantly active, regardless of whether the player has the Mod TT 20px Despoil augment or not.
  • When using Mod TT 20px Equilibrium it is beneficial to take a controlled amount of damage, or use Mod TT 20px Despoil in order to fully benefit from being able to pick up Health orbs (also consider using Mod TT 20px Rage or Mod TT 20px Hunter Adrenaline to recover energy while taking damage) Alternatively, a companion with Mod TT 20px Synth Fiber allows for health orbs to be consumed continuously regardless of health for constant Equilibrium energy benefits. Using this, even a Flawed equilibrium mod can provide constant uptime with enough health orbs present.
  • Desecrate is also very effective in Excavation missions because it can be used on Power Carriers, possibly making them drop additional power cells.
  • KhoraIcon272 Khora's Strangledome130xWhite Strangledome almost guarantees dismembering enemies upon kill from its chains due to its high DmgSlashSmall64 Slash, granting more body parts for Nekros to generate loot from.
  • Corpses are consumed upon Desecrate's attempt to roll extra loot, regardless of success or not.
  • Overlapping Desecrate using two or more Nekroses will not generate more loot. Only one Nekros can successfully Desecrate a given corpse.
  • Having multiple Desecrating Nekroses is still useful if the Nekroses themselves are spread out or if some corpses would disappear before Desecrate gets a chance.
    • This is especially useful when corpses are disintegrating faster than 3 per second (such as when an ability like MolecularPrime130xWhite Molecular Prime is being used, in infested missions, or if enemies are simply being killed at a rate of over 3 per second)

Info

  • Nezha expends EnergyOrb25 energy to throw his Universe Ring 30 meters towards the target aim, which will ricochet off enemies or objects before returning, hitting up to 6 enemies. The chakram deals AbilityStrengthBuff100 / 150 / 200 / 250 DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage to enemies it touches and marks them for AbilityDurationBuff10 / 11 / 13 / 15 seconds, with guaranteed DmgFireSmall64 Heat status effect. Marked enemies receive AbilityStrengthBuff60% / 75% / 85% / 100% Damage Vulnerability and have a 50% / 65% / 80% / 100% chance to drop a Health Orb, and a 20% / 25% / 30% / 35% chance to drop an Energy Orb, upon death.
    • Casting animation of ~0.75 seconds, affected by Casting Speed.
      • Can be cast while moving but will interrupt any other action.
  • Holding down the ability key (default 2 ) will charge the chakram to increase its damage, up to AbilityStrengthBuff400 / 600 / 800 / 1000 DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage while Ragdoll b Ragdolling enemies, and make it fly ~70 meters in a straight line forward and backward hitting all enemies in its path.
    • Charging animation is not affected by Casting Speed.
    • A charged Blazing Chakram loses its ability to ricochet off walls and enemies.
  • If Blazing Chakram is activated again by pressing the ability key (default 2 ) while the chakram is in flight, Nezha will teleport to its current location at no energy cost.
    • Nezha cannot teleport to the chakram if it is inside or too close to a wall.
  • Bouncing from surfaces can extend the chakram's travel distance.
  • The chakram's position is indicated as a waypoint onscreen and as a circular icon on the minimap.
  • Both uncharged and charged throws are capable of hitting the same enemy multiple times.
  • Blazing Chakram can be detonated mid-flight similarly to a throwing weapon
    • This does not appear to deal damage—its primary function appears to be to force the early return of the Chakram.
    • This requires a melee weapon to be equipped. Pressing the heavy attack key while a melee weapon is equipped and the Chakram is still on an outbound path will cause the Chakram to "explode", then return to Nezha.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • If FireWalker130xWhite Fire Walker is active when using Blazing Chakram's teleportation, Fire Walker will overheat at the destination and deal AbilityStrengthBuff500 / 750 / 1000 / 1250 DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage, with a 10% / 25% / 50% / ? DmgFireSmall64 Heat status chance, within a radius of AbilityRangeBuff3 / 4 / 5 / 6 meters, as well as leaving a lingering ring of Fire Walker's flames.
      • Damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and diminishes with distance.
    • Blazing Chakram striking an enemy impaled by DivineSpears130xWhite Divine Spears produces a second chakram, which fires at a nearby enemy.
      • Secondary chakrams can create additional ones off of speared enemies.
      • A charged throw will also produce charged chakrams, which will not seek out enemies or bounce, and often fly off in random directions. Therefore, uncharged throws are much more well-suited to generate many chakrams and ramp up Mod TT 20px Reaping Chakram's bonus damage.

Augment

ReapingChakramMod
Main article: Reaping Chakram

Reaping Chakram is a Warframe Augment Mod for NezhaIcon272 Nezha which increases BlazingChakram130xWhite Blazing Chakram's damage for each enemy hit by the attack. Additionally it increases the spawn percentage for health orbs for each enemy hit.

Reaping Chakram

Tips & Tricks

  • Using Mod TT 20px Reaping Chakram with Mod TT 20px Equilibrium significantly enhances energy return chances. This allows high strength builds with low (45%) efficiency to still be able to cast this power almost infinitely.
  • Mod TT 20px Archon Vitality garauntee's a double Fire Proc on each target hit, each target hit in chain taking significantly more damage-over-time as chained targets face increased damage multiplication. Charging this ability and using Mod TT 20px Archon Vitality creates even more powerful damage-over-time dual Fire Procs.
  • The applied vulnerability mark is independent of the ring's damage and can be applied to enemies immune to Blazing Chakram's damage.
  • The mark is removed in nullifier fields, however its duration is not decreased by effects such as Ancient Disruptor auras or the Executioner's natural debuff reduction.
  • After activating Divine Spears and throwing a Chakram at impaled enemies, 2 additional rings are created and will bounce off enemies. If the Chakram is charged, the extra rings will have similarly increased damage and behavior.
  • The two different Restorative Orb drop chances are calculated separately from each other and from the enemies standard drop table, as such it is possible for a single enemy to drop multiple orbs, even several of the same type.
  • Enemies killed instantly by the Chakram's damage will still benefit from the additional restorative orb drop chances, even though the vulnerability mark is applied after the initial damage instance.

Bugs

  • In games with moderately high latency, the chakram may veer wildly off-course or be seen shaking in midair while moving slowly, then disappear before striking an enemy. This is likely caused by the ring's position being calculated host-side, rather than client-side.

1 (limit of active caches)

Subsumable to Helminth

Info

  • Protea expends EnergyOrb75 energy to unfurl the supply cache from her utility belt in front of her. The Dispensary hovers in place for AbilityDurationBuff10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds. After being deployed, the supply cache warps in Pickups one by one every 2 seconds in the following sequence: an Empowered Health Orb that restores 100 Health points, a Universal Ammo Pack that restores 1x Ammo Pickup for the currently equipped Weapon, and an Energy Orb. This rotating sequence will repeat until the Dispensary's duration expires. If all previous pickups of a given type have not been collected when the Dispensary attempts to warp in a new copy, that attempt will be skipped. Each pickup type has a AbilityStrengthBuff10% / 15% / 20% / 25% chance to drop a second copy when first warped in and on each replenishment. Only 1 Dispensary may be active at once.
    • Each individual pickup type will replenish once every 6 seconds as the Dispensary rotates through them. Empowered Health Orbs will attempt to spawn at 2, 8, 14, 20... seconds after deployment, Universal Ammo Packs will attempt to spawn at 4, 10, 16, 22... seconds after deployment, and Energy Orbs will attempt to spawn at 6, 12, 18, 24... seconds after deployment.
    • Deploying animation speed is affected by Casting Speed.
    • Pickups are arranged in a triangular formation around the cache, spawning from the top of the cache then dropping to the ground below.
    • Empowered Health Orb health restore value is used as base value for mod interactions, such as Mod TT 20px Equilibrium and Mod TT 20px Mending Shot, though not Mod TT 20px Synth Fiber for Companions.
    • Universal Ammo Pack restores Atmospheric Archgun ammo upon collection. However, it does not affect the Archgun Deployer cooldown in the Gear menu.
    • While deployed, the Dispensary's location is indicated on the minimap using its ability icon.
    • Deploying a new Dispensary will remove the current one.
  • Pickups produced by the Dispensary are individual instances per player. If one player picks up an item, it will only disappear for that player while other players can collect their instances at their leisure.
    • Pickups are still subject to squad-wide pickup count limit and will despawn from the oldest to the newest after the limit is reached.
    • Pickups are replenished one by one according to the aforementioned drop sequence, if multiple pickups were collected by the same player.
  • Can be recast while active to deploy a new Dispensary while removing the active cache, dropping multiple new pickups at a different location.
  • Casting Dispensary is a full-body animation that allows movement.
  • Dispensary is an invulnerable object that hovers in the air where Protea deploys it.
    • Protea will deploy the Dispensary toward the direction her character model is facing at the end of the casting animation.
    • Supply cache despawns by folding back into its compact form and teleports back to Protea's utility belt.
  • Dispensary supply cache uses a custom model that resembles a floating and rotating vase, opening up its three petals to reveal a floral design. Each petal moves in an up and down motion, producing energy lights individually and in unison when spawning pickups. A pollen cloud visual effect bursts upward as a pickup is spawned.
  • Subsuming Protea to the Helminth will offer Dispensary and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
    • However, Subsumed Dispensary's duration is reduced to AbilityDurationBuff5 / 7.5 / 10 / 12.5 seconds.

Repair Dispensary

Tips & Tricks

  • Place a supply cache before engaging enemies to give it time to produce a set of pickups.
  • Place near static objectives to resupply quickly while defending.
  • Jump and place the supply cache high in the air, out of reach from the ability canceling effects of special enemies (e.g. Nullifier Crewman). Pickups will rain down from above and stay put where they land.
  • Recast the Dispensary after it has produced a set of pickups to create another set. Spread the placements apart to cover the area in useful supplies.
  • Utilize Protea's passive for a chance to create more pickups per supply cache.
  • Mod for Ability Duration to keep the cache active longer. Pickups collected by you and your team will have more time to be replenished by the active Dispensary.
  • Activate TemporalAnchor130xWhite Temporal Anchor and place a supply cache to completely recover its energy cost once Protea rewinds, while producing more Energy Orbs for later use.
  • Universal Ammo Packs are one of the only methods to resupply for Atmospheric Archguns, allowing you and your team extended usage of these heavy weapons.
    • This also makes Protea a viable way of effectively leveling these weapons without having to go to Archwing maps, as long as she can spare some Gravimags to do so.
  • Empowered Health Orbs can be an excellent source of energy with Mod TT 20px Equilibrium, giving 110 energy for each one on max rank, due to the health orb providing 100 health.
    • This can benefit any Warframe that could use more energy.

Bugs

  • Using this ability inside The Index has the potential to stop all Energy Dispensers from spawning energy orbs for the rest of the match, for all players.

Info

  • Grendel expends EnergyOrb50 energy to damage to the first digested victim equal to AbilityStrengthBuff20% of their total shield and health points, heal AbilityStrengthBuff600 / 700 / 800 / 1000 Health, and receive a buff that affects all allies within AbilityRangeBuff10 / 15 / 20 / 25 meters for AbilityDurationBuff10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds. This buff has three separate effects:
    • All energy sources provide AbilityStrengthBuff1.5x / 1.65x / 1.8x / 2.0x more energy.
    • Taking damage causes an explosion with a AbilityRangeBuff12 meter radius that deals AbilityStrengthBuff100 / 150 / 200 / 250 DmgViralSmall64 Viral damage with 10 DmgViralSmall64 Viral stacks and RollingDroneAvatar Stagger to enemies within line of sight. This explosion has a 2 seconds cooldown.
    • Adds AbilityStrengthBuff+40% / +50% / +60% / +75% DmgViralSmall64 Viral damage to all weapons.
  • Retaliation waves damage and break destructible Objects such as crates and resource caches.
  • Ability Synergy: Nourish requires at least 1 enemy swallowed by Feast130xWhite Feast to be alive in Grendel's gut to cast.
  • Can be recast while active, inflicting damage to the eaten enemy, healing Grendel, buffing new allies in range, and refreshing the buff's duration.
  • Subsuming Grendel to the Helminth will offer Nourish and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
    • Other Warframes are omitted from the swallowed enemy requirement, due to their inability to cast Feast130xWhite Feast.
    • However, Subsumed Nourish does not provide healing, the explosion only applies 1 DmgViralSmall64 Viral stack, the energy multiplier is reduced to AbilityStrengthBuff1.3 / 1.39 / 1.48 / 1.6x, and DmgViralSmall64 Viral weapon bonus damage is reduced to AbilityStrengthBuff+24% / +30% / +36% / +45%.

Energy Reduction[]

Sorties with the Energy Reduction condition is the only way to reduce a Warframe's Total Energy capacity. This also reduces passive energy regeneration effects, like Mod TT 20px Energy Siphon and FocusLensZenurik b Zenurik's abilities.

There are also some instances where a Warframe's energy can be expended and/or stopped from regenerating. Nightmare Mode's Energy Drain condition slowly drains 15 energy per second throughout the mission. On top of its regular effects, a DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic proc will drain 90 energy over 3 seconds, or 30 energy per tick. In Conclave, Mod TT 20px No Current Leap nullifies passive energy regeneration in exchange for increased mobility.

Using Energy as Health[]

Mods[]

These mods stop lethal damage by allowing hits to drain your energy after your Health is depleted in exchange for occasionally staggering the player. They synergize extremely well with Mod TT 20px Rage and Mod TT 20px Hunter Adrenaline since all the health drained before taking lethal damage would ensure that there is enough energy for the mods to consume.

Patch History[]

Update 35.0 (2023-12-13)

  • Increased the Starting Energy of the following Prime Warframes so that they have higher Energy Capacity compared to their base version:
    • Grendel Prime from 100 to 115

    • Khora Prime from 75 to 100
    • Limbo Prime from 100 to 125

  • Removed the “Starting Energy” stat that was added in Hotfix 32.2.9 and merged it with the existing “Energy” tooltip.
    • Also fixed incorrect calculation of Mod upgrade to Energy drain, which resulted in incorrect calculation of Energy players receive on spawn.

Hotfix 32.2.9 (2023-01-11)

  • Added a new “Starting Energy” stat (affected by Mods like Preparation) in the Arsenal to indicate the amount of Energy a Warframe will start a mission with.
    • Hot Tip: Unspent Mod capacity increases how much Energy you have at the start of missions.
    • Harrow will always show 100% Energy filled thanks to his passive.

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)
