Info

  • Styanax expends EnergyOrb25 energy to sweep his shield Tharros before him to release a horizontal fan of 9 shield projections, which travels a distance of AbilityRangeBuff9 meters toward the reticle, bashing away enemies within a 135 degrees horizontal spread and 160 degrees vertical spread. With a heavy shove, Styanax also knocks back enemies within a 2.5 meter radius around him.
    • According to the actual test, 9 shield projectiles are only visual effects. The real hit range is a cone shape with a horizontal direction of about 135° and a vertical direction of about 160°. The radius is the skill range.
      • Each shield projectile is 15° apart horizontally. The strike edge overlaps with the shield projectile on the right side and extends an additional 15° on the left side.
    • Shield projections possess infinite Punch Through, hitting enemies along their flight path until they fade away at maximum distance.
  • Styanax's shove and the shield projections inflict pushback for 5 meters, stun for 2 seconds prompting melee Finisher (default X ), AbilityStrengthBuff50% Armor and Shields permanent defense reduction, and AbilityStrengthBuff250 / 500 / 750 / 1,000 DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage on enemies. For each enemy struck, Styanax restores AbilityStrengthBuff50 / 65 / 80 / 100 Health points.
    • Defenses are fully removed at 200% Ability Strength.
      • Shield strip removes a percentage of the current maximum value, as such it has diminishing returns on subsequent casts against the same enemies. Armor strip, however, is a percentage of an enemy's total, requiring only two casts at base strength to fully strip.
    • Defense reduction, Health restore, and damage affect enemies protected by Overguard, but pushback does not, nor are they opened to Finishers.
  • Casting Tharros Strike is a full-body animation that interrupts Styanax's grounded movement and other actions.
  • Subsuming Styanax to the Helminth will offer Tharros Strike and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Tips & Tricks

  • With one player using Mod TT 20px Corrosive Projection, 100% armor strip can be achieved at 164% Ability Strength.
  • Tharros Strike opens enemies to finishers briefly. Taking advantage of this requires using the ability at point blank or enemies pinned against a wall.
  • AxiosJavelin130xWhite Axios Javelin's vortex assists Tharros Strike in en-masse enemy defense reduction and rapid health recovery for Styanax.
  • RallyPoint130xWhite Rally Point taunts enemies to aggressively approach Styanax, potentially grouping inside Tharros Strike's area of effect. Energy regen recovers Tharros Strike's low cost quickly. Tharros Strike's defense reduction permanently cripples enemies for Styanax and rallied allies to kill them for shield recovery.
  • FinalStand130xWhite Final Stand's DmgSlashSmall64 Slash and DmgBlastSmall64 Blast damage effectiveness are enhanced by Tharros Strike's defense reduction.
