Notes

• The amount of Energy gained from damage taken to health is affected by Warframe Armor.
• Stacks with  Rage for a total of 85% damage conversion.
• Applies to Status Effects that deal damage over time and damage that bypasses shields.
• Damage taken to Overguard only applies energy if the user does not have Shields ( Inaros and  Nidus).
  • The Overguard must also come from an ally. As such,  Kullervo's  Recompense does not receive this benefit despite his lack of shields.
• Does not apply to the following sources of damage:
  • Self-inflicted damage, such as  Nekros's  Despoil or  Combat Discipline.
  • Laser traps encountered in the Orokin Void and Orokin Derelicts.
  • Health lost due to the Vampire Nightmare Mode modifier, or health drained in Survival missions by falling to 0% life support.

Tips

• Hunter Adrenaline gains more mileage when equipped to Warframes with high Health such as  Ash,  Inaros,  Mesa,  Saryn or  Nidus.
  • In particular,  Inaros and  Nidus benefit greatly from Hunter Adrenaline due to their lack of shields and significantly high health.
• Hunter Adrenaline can be used alongside healing effects to create a renewable source of energy.
  • Examples of healing include  Life Strike or  Healing Return for melee weapons, Valkyr's  Hysteria ability, and the healing abilities of  Trinity and  Oberon.
    • Note that Trinity already possesses a primary means of generating energy via  Energy Vampire.
  • Many Warframe ability Augments (such as Saryn's  Regenerative Molt) create healing effects which can be employed in the same fashion.
  • Beware of high amounts of burst damage which may overwhelm a Warframe before they can heal themselves.
• If the player has  Quick Thinking equipped and suffers lethal damage, the gain in energy will be converted back over as emergency health.
• When hunting for vaults in the Orokin Derelict, or even outside of the derelict, equipping the Decaying Dragon Key handicap to sacrifice shields will reduce the time needed before Hunter Adrenaline can take effect.

Updated Overguard Interactions With Hunter Adrenaline

As announced last week, we’ve changed how Overguard interacts with effects that benefit from receiving damage on Warframe to make it more co-op friendly. Specifically, the Hunter Adrenaline Mod. The conversations regarding Dante’s abilities with Overguard became a driving factor to look at these interactions and find ways in which we can make them work to benefit co-op play. Overall, these changes aim to create a harmonious arrangement between the often unpredictable Overguard gains from allies and Hunter Adrenaline.

The following changes are in addition to their existing functionality.

Hunter Adrenaline

Previously, Overguard granted by allies could prevent you from gaining Energy from these Mods (since it blocked damage dealt to Health). So, in an effort to create a more co-op friendly experience between the two, we’ve made the following change:

Now, Hunter Adrenaline can convert the Damage on Overguard granted by allies to Energy while Shields are inactive.

More specifically, they will trigger when the last source of Overguard originates from an ally (includes spawned allies, such as Specters). This allows shield-less Warframes, such as Inaros and Nidus, to be able to regenerate Energy via these Mods when they would have previously been blocked by Overguard granted by allies.

Here are the exact stat details:

• Hunter Adrenaline: +45% (same effectiveness as the base functionality) of Damage on Overguard granted by allies to Energy while Shields are inactive.

NOTE: Warframes that grant themselves Overguard, like Kullervo or Rhino, will not be able to trigger Hunter Adrenaline from their own Overguard. Only Overguard granted by allies is eligible because this is the only interaction that is potentially disruptive to your build (i.e your ally puts Overguard onto your Rage-Build Nidus).
