Ivara

Edit Tab

Release Date: December 3rd, 2015

Equipped with a diverse selection of arrows, deft hands, shroud of stealth and an exalted bow, the crafty Ivara infiltrates hostile territory with deception and diversion, and eliminates threats with a shot from beyond. Ivara emerged in Update 18.0 (2015-12-03).

Acquisition

Ivara's main and component blueprints are acquired from Spy missions (including Nightmare Mode) depending on mission level. Alerts and Sorties do not award identified items and therefore are exempt. All parts are in Rotation C of their respective reward tables, meaning they require three successful data extractions to be an eligible reward for the mission. Eligible missions are detailed in the tables below.

All drop rates data is obtained from DE's official drop tables. See Mission Rewards#Standard Missions for definitions on reward table rotations.

Lore & History

The Secret History of the Orokin Court

Main article: Leverian#Ivara

View Ivara List▾▾

Quite early in her history, Ivara would encounter a slayer of Warframes, a beast-thing known as the Myrmidon. Those that it killed were deemed unworthy to be remembered, and were erased from the records of history.

A Dax emergency call led Ivara and two unknown Warframes to a complex cave system. The discovered the dead bodies of the Dax who sent the message, along with the Myrmidon. The creature made short work of Ivara's companions, first by nullifying their abilities, and vaporizing them with an emerald light, converting them both into clouds of dust.

Ivara attempted to sneak away, but the Myrmidon rendered both her  Prowl and  Quiver useless. Ivara retreated and readied her  Aksomati,  Rubico, and  Artemis Bow. Guided by her  Navigator, she managed to outwit the creature. Stripping him of his armor, the Myrmidon lay naked in front of the huntress, but was revealed to have a face similar to an Orokin, a race Ivara was sworn to never kill. The Myrmidon knew it, and smirked at Ivara.

After the duel, Ivara brought the defeated Myrmidon to the Council of the Seven. For slaying her comrades, she expected him to meet justice at that hands of his own people, the people he mocked with his pallid visage. One of the Seven removed a small device, "a lattice of delicate silver" from their head and placed it on the podium between the Council and Ivara, causing the Myrmidon to instantly collapse lifeless to the floor. Executor Ballas then told Ivara how her combat abilities and loyalty were tested, and because of her success, she will be remembered, while her defeated comrades would be long forgotten.

Notes

• Ivara, along with  Banshee Prime,  Loki Prime,  Nova Prime, and  Oberon Prime, has the second highest amount of energy (175 base, with 262.5 at max rank), with  Chroma Prime,  Volt Prime,  Saryn Prime,  Ivara Prime,  Baruuk,  Wisp, and  Yareli having the highest (200 base, with 300 at max rank).
  • This can be increased to 525 with a maxed  Flow, 743.8 (rounded) with  Primed Flow, 770 with  Primed Flow and  Endurance Drift.

Trivia

• Ivara is a name derived from the Old Norse word Ívarr, which means "tree warrior".
  • In Norse legend, the similarly named Ivar the Boneless was a legendary warrior acclaimed as a deadly archer.
• The line in Lotus' summary, "Don't roam around the forest looking for a fight," is a direct reference to a musical number in the film Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
• As mentioned in Devstream 64, Ivara's visual design was influenced by tree frogs, with her default color scheme sharing their bright coloration.
  • Her original gameplay design similarly included  Toxin damage, though this was ultimately abandoned sometime during development.
• The  Navigator ability is functionally similar to the Aftertouch ability in Digital Extremes' previous successful video game Dark Sector.
• The Eros Arrow Skin does not affect Ivara's  Artemis Bow.
• Ivara is the first Warframe whose main blueprint is dropped as possible loot reward.
