Info

• Equinox emits a crippling or empowering aura with a radius of 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 meters. Pacify & Provoke will remain active indefinitely until deactivated by casting  Metamorphosis, by running out of Energy, or by pressing the ability key again (default 3 ).
• Equinox utilizes different versions of the ability depending on her current form:

• Night Form
• Day Form

Night form

• Night Equinox emits a crippling aura that affects all enemies within range, reducing their damage up to 20% / 33% / 43% / 50% the closer they are to Equinox. While Pacify is active, 1.5 / 1.25 / 1 / 0.5 Energy is drained per second for each enemy within the aura.
  • The damage reduction falls-off with distance.
    • The aura is divided into 4 subsequent "rings", each with 1/4 of the total radius of the ability.
      • The first inner ring grants 100% of the listed damage reduction.
      • The second ring grants 83.33% of the listed damage reduction.
      • The third ring grants 66.67% of the listed damage reduction.
      • The fourth ring grants 50% of the listed damage reduction.
  • The maximum value of damage reduction is calculated through the following formula:
    Modified Damage Reduction = 1 − [Base Damage Reduction ÷ (1 + Ability Strength)].
    • For example: With a rank-3 Pacify, and with a maxed  Intensify, Equinox reduces enemy damage by 1 − [0.5 ÷ (1 + 0.3)] = 61.5385%.
      • The first inner ring will reduce enemy damage by 61.5385% × 100% = 61.5385%.
      • The second ring will reduce enemy damage by 61.5385% × 83.33% = 51.28%.
      • The third ring will reduce enemy damage by 61.5385% × 66.67% = 41.0277%.
      • The fourth ring will reduce enemy damage by 61.5385% × 50% = 30.7693%.
  • Despite being a channeled ability, this does not interrupt energy regeneration from  Energy Siphon,  Energy Nexus,  Dreamer's Bond, and/or  Wellspring and it is unaffected by  Ability Duration.
  • Neither Pacify nor Provoke can activate channeling-based Incarnon Genesis perk bonuses.
• Enemies in range are highlighted in Equinox's energy color. Color intensity scales with distance from Equinox, with the nearest enemies glowing the brightest.

Day Form

• Day Equinox emits an empowering aura that grants Equinox and all ally Warframes within range an additional 5% / 10% / 15% / 20%  Ability Strength. While Provoke is active, 5 / 4.33 / 3.66 / 3 Energy is drained for each Warframe ability cast within the aura.
  • Unlike Pacify, the Ability Strength bonus does not fall-off with distance
  • Ability Strength bonus cannot exceed 50% unless  Peaceful Provocation is equipped. Different instances of Provoke auras do not stack, only the strongest bonus will be applied.
  • Provoke, after being affected by equipped Ability Strength mods, stacks additively with Ability Strength bonuses when applied to other abilities (e.g., with a maxed  Intensify, Equinox's abilities will gain 0.3 + 0.2 × 1.3 = 56% Ability Strength when cast while a rank-3 Provoke is active).
  • In order to acquire the Ability Strength bonus from Provoke, allies only have to cast their abilities while inside the aura.
  • Despite being a channeled ability, this does not interrupt energy regeneration from  Energy Siphon,  Energy Nexus,  Dreamer's Bond, and/or  Wellspring and it is unaffected by  Ability Duration.
  • The additional energy cost is only applied when abilities are activated within the aura, including Equinox's abilities. The energy cost is not applied for energy drains.
  • Neither Pacify nor Provoke can activate channeling-based Incarnon Genesis perk bonuses.
• While switching to Night Form will deactivate Provoke, the armor and shield bonuses from  Metamorphosis will gain additional Ability Strength. As such, the additional energy cost will be applied.

• Aura radius is visibly determined by wave-like strings of energy orbiting Equinox.

Augment

Main article: Peaceful Provocation

Peaceful Provocation is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Equinox that increases the effectiveness of  Pacify & Provoke. Pacify converts damage done to Equinox and her allies into an aura that slows enemies by up to 40%. Provoke converts damage done to enemies within the aura into up to 15% bonus Ability Strength.
