Usage[]
When used, Air Support Charges will throw a floating ball onto the ground held up by an electric tether. The Air Support ability will then be deployed after a delay of a few seconds. Air Support Charges have a 10-minute cooldown (5 minutes with Engineering Intrinsic Rank 2) in between uses, with a cooldown timer visible on the Gear wheel menu. Players may only bring 200 charges per mission.
Air Support abilities are locked behind certain Landing Crafts, noted in the chart below. Acquiring the Landing Craft will unlock their respective ability for all Landing Crafts, which can be changed in the Landing Craft Customize screen.
| Landing Craft | Ability Icon | Ability Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liset | 
|
Override | Ordis will Override security, sending a beacon that disables lockdowns, resets alarms, and disables security cameras while the beacon is active. In Rescue and Spy missions, any timers will also be paused while the beacon is up. Note that this will not deploy if you are not looking at a console when you activate the Air Support Charge. |
| Mantis | 
|
Med-Tower |
Ordis will deploy a Med Tower (which resembles a Life Support Capsule). It will heal the player for 100 health on each activation and may be activated up to 25 times by any player in the squad. It can also be used as a small wall as it does block Tenno, enemies, and possibly gunfire from passing through it. You can stand on top of the towers to avoid melee type enemies. |
| Nightwave | 
|
Dreamers | Nora Night deploys a device that puts enemies within 10 meters of it to sleep. The device lasts for 20 seconds. |
| Parallax | 
|
Orokin Eye | Rare resources and deposits, Ayatan Treasures, Syndicate Medallions, Somachords, Frame Fighters fragments, Cephalon Fragments, Kuria, and more are highlighted within a 150m radius. |
| Scimitar | 
|
Carpet Bomb | Ordis will launch an Air Strike, sending Carpet Bombs crashing on a path determined by where the player was to where the air support charge was deployed, each dealing 250  Impact damage.
|
| Skaut | 
|
Kahl Beacon | Ordis will activate the Skaut's alert signal beacon, summoning Kahl-175 armed with a  Grattler and two allies who may be either Tusk Hellions or Corpus Tech. After being summoned, further uses of Air Support will heal him. After 5 minutes, Kahl and his squad will depart. For every extra squad member using this Air Support charge, one additional unit will be added to Kahl's squad.
Note that ally names will be randomized. |
| Xiphos | 
|
Sentry Gun | Ordis will spawn a sentry turret which fires on nearby hostiles.  |

100x please!!
You got it.
Need a drawing for x100 pieces.
Ong, I don't use it in every mission I play but I'm just so used to crafting literally everything in bulk of 100-1000 hah
X100 would be really nice!
Yea, having to periodically spam craft with the x10 quickly gets annoying
x1000 pieces? XD
Fuck they fixed it...
And then its just me who was thinking it was normal that the Orokin eye dont used charges ^^". Meh
Yeah I thought it wasn't meant to use it after all this time.
Please add the 100x Blueprint
BUMP
As of today, " Fixed Orokin Eye and Kahl Beacon not consuming Air Support Charges."
So yeah , 100x blueprint would be a good addition
Yes please
BUMP
The Air Support always buggy
Really hoping if/when Veso becomes summonable that he gets his own separate beacon not tied to the air support so I can have Veso n Kahl together in my group.
Well I mean Teshin was also playable and killed off right after, so he's dead*
He was somehow teleported with a limp to the drifter's Duviri paradox though, so he's still alive also whats the "*" mean?
Not even DE knows, if they want bring Veso back and survive the explosion like a Warframe, why not?
Vamo is a tragic hero. Bringing him back would defeat this point entirely
It's not mentioned here, but the charges are no longer used now that it's on a timer.
Kahl summon doesn't use them either.
Why are there 2 rabid animals here? The guy is right, I somehow have 26, 4 were probably used by Override, but it's been a full year and I'm still at 26.
Yea, it's still happening.
Fixed as of Whispers in the Walls: Update 35.1.0:
Fixed Orokin Eye and Kahl Beacon not consuming Air Support Charges.
Are these supposed to actually get consumed? I made 200 of them and after using Orokin Eye in dozens of missions I still have 200.
I sometimes go and check on it, and I don't think mine is getting consumed either
Same also with Orokin Eye
No, that was from before the timer.
No, you can have only a maximum of 200 uses per mission no matter how many thousands you crafted.
Please add Orokin Eye to this page
Bruh these mfs need a rework nobody uses em
Orokin Eye is super easy mode
That's player problem, not an item problem. I always use Liset charge when someone screws up spy mission or resque mission (works on scripted sortie alarm too), Parallax skill is pretty neat, others has its uses too. Only thing that is really meh is Scimitar carpet bombing, the damage is just laughable for 10/5 minutes cooldown.
Having 3/7 being useful and the other 4 being absolutely trash isn't really a player problem. They all should be useful, not just 3 and call it good enough.
Lol, Xiphos turret fires faster now if you look at it and slower if its not in your field of view.
Idk man.
Well, they have managed to make AI lazy and thus cloder to human. Great job!
Well, the AI is even worse now thanks to limited ammo. Great fucking job, DE. Might as well remove them, entirely.
The xiphos turrets use ammo? No way.
Why is this item not marked as a gear item in the foundry?
Okay so asides Liset airsupport being good and Mantis Airsupport being.. okay?
Air supports need a buff, tbh. They're all pretty garbage except the aforementioned ones. Why not give the Carpet Bombing True damage and just make it do like, 50% of an enemy's health pool or something? It's on a 10 minute cooldown, so it's not like you can abuse it that hard.
Turret could also use a buff. Make it scale with enemy level or something, make it do some decent damage too. Idk.
Nora's one is bugged, I think. It puts enemies to sleep initially hit by the speaker wave, but enemies wallking into the Circle don't get put to sleep. Nora's would be fine if it applied the sleep to enemies that walked into the ring but whatever I guess
The only thing nice about air support are indeed Override and Med-Tower, because they offer time saving features. The others are similar to Mesa's 1, takes longer to cast than the benefits the make-up for lost time. Unlike Override which saves you the hassle of finding a panel (sometimes difficult), and Med-Tower's ability to heal on demand (remotely revives pets too). Carpet Bomb needs to insta kill a large area (except bosses) to be worth the effort, as of current, you're more effective just popping into operator and detonating the propa scaffold amp AoE for more immediate and higher damage. The turret can't compete against specters, which are not only scaling, more customizable, no cooldown, but also follows you and cast abilities like buffs, so turret should be reworked to something else entirely. Lastly Nora's Dreamers practically lets enemies die of old age. Most enemies don't survive more than 5 seconds in line of sight, so you're absolutely right that there needs to be a duration on that air support.
If you ask me, replace Turret with Energy-Tower and replace Carpet Bomb with 1.5x-2x damage buff, because the players scale
please add a 100x air support charges to the clan like the other pods! <3
Was considering getting another landing craft, but as DE doesn't even bother giving the crafts different interiors I won't either spend plat or invest the time getting one, just for a little gimmick on a 10 min. CD.
but arent landing crafts separate from your orbiter?
Correct, they are two different things
Aged like milk
just learned that these exists
why can't i craft the air support charges?
it says that i need a foundry segment
you first need to craft(or buy) the landing craft foundry segment... the blueprint can be researched in the tenno lab of your dojo...
if you don't have a dojo, you can build your own clan or join one (faster option)
Air support needs someserious buffs. So far we have: The reason they need buffs.
Buggy turrets every 10 minutes Are they even usefull? Never used 1.
Somewhat useful delay of timers in spy missions and rescue missions Ciphers if not in sortie
Cotton run. Anything else really...
2.5K Hp tower. Waay cheaper healing options and more efficient ways to heal
How to Improve:
Everything: maybe add multiple choices for each landing craft? Fix the cooldown. The damage values etc.
Liset: More choices such as turning turrets against the enemy, activating MOAs in corpus missions to fight by your side (the ones in the "lockers" or similar things...?
Mantis: Multiple types of capsules with perhaps better values. Or other support Items
Scimitar: Multiple types of bombing runs and better damage values. or other offence related abilities
Xiphos: More defence related deployables..? Not just 1 turret every 10 minutes, that sometimes bugs out.
762Black, in game, Just too lazy to log in
i had a stroke reading this
Lol me too. I gave up
Is the 10m cooldown shared by the entire squad or can each one activate theirs independently?
I have noticed that after calling in ordis for the lockdown timer, another player did the same shortly after me and it stacked so aslong as you have 4 squad members with support-override those spy missions would be a walk in the park
Spy missions are the easiest anyway
Does liset air support prevent alarms from even be triggered? Like you drop one, and run trough a spy mission and get it like you didnt even trigger the alarm?
Nope. It will freeze the countdown timer in spy and rescue missions, but it won't prevent alarms from activating.
Seems like a handy trick for people who have trouble with hacking, didn't build any ciphers but has a whole bunch of air support charges instead.
There are trolls that will purposely trigger the alarm and wait till the last second to finish their vault. They do this to waste other people's air support. I don't bother with using the Liset air support for spy missions and purely use it to lazy open lockdown doors haha.
Yes if the Override affect is triggered (takes about 5 sec after the item being used), it will lock-out the terminals from being used for a set amount of time. Once that time ends the Alerted enemies will bee-line it to hit the Alarms.
