An obscure glaive weapon of Corpus provenance, intrinsically linked to Specter technology. The Xoris strikes rapidly and with great devastation. It is capable of chaining combos infinitely.

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)

• Fixed Xoris being able to spontaneously shed combo-stack buffs (Blood Rush/Weeping Wounds) as if they had done a heavy attack, but without actually doing it, when chaining throws.

Update 30.9 (2021-11-11)

• Fixed Glaives not being affected by abilities that attract projectiles (i.e Mag’s Magnetize).
  • This also fixes a Glaive that has been redirected in such a way infinitely bouncing.
  • This also fixes Glaive being unable to punchthrough certain Metal surfaces (Crewman Helmets)

MELEE / PRIMARY BALANCE CHANGES

In late 2020, we reworked the Glaive melee class to be more powerful and comfortable to use. Overall, we feel these changes had their intended effect as weapons like the Glaive Prime skyrocketed from obscurity to the top of the pile with their newfound ability to inflict huge damage using heavy attacks.

However, these changes also introduced a common issue: players with high melee attack speed would sometimes accidentally throw their Glaives when trying to perform simple melee strikes, and the “catch and release” mechanic sometimes resulted in multiple unintended throws. In reviewing our Melee system, we felt it was a good opportunity to address this concern, while also doing a balancing pass to reflect the power in this newly reworked melee class.

That said, our two changes to Glaives go hand in hand:

First, the heavy attack wind-up speed is being increased from 0.6 seconds to 1.2 seconds. With more time on the wind-up, it is much harder to accidentally throw when you are trying to swing.

With this increased wind-up speed, players are also more capable of performing quick throws. Right now the damage on quick throws is very close to fully charged, so in order to encourage more meaningful choice, our second change is to reduce quick throw damage to approximately 50% of the maximum charge. Exact number changes are as follows:

Xoris
Direct Hit Damage from 240 to 120
Radial Damage from 480 to 250

Update 28.1 (2020-07-08)

Xoris Interaction Changes

Certain Warframe Abilities and Exalted weapons will now reset the Melee Combo Counter only if the Xoris is being used. The overwhelming Damage output of certain Warframe Abilities was not our intention with an infinite Melee Combo weapon, and the conversation of ‘Xoris or you’re doing it wrong’ is greatly restrictive in terms of player choice.

Warframe Abilities / Exalted Warframe weapons affected by this are:

• Ash Bladestorm
• Atlas Landslide
• Baruuk Serene Storm
• Excalibur Exalted Blade
• Gara Shattered Lash
• Khora Whipclaw
• Valkyr Talons
• Wukong Iron Staff

• Fixed the Xoris infinite Combo Counter UI not reflecting when there is -100% Combo Duration equipped.
  • The Combo Counter UI will now display ‘0’ when appropriate - otherwise it will say infinite.

Update 28.0 (2020-06-11)

• Introduced.
