Puncture Damage is one of the three physical damage types. Deals increased damage to Corpus and Orokin. Its Status Effect reduces enemy's damage output and increases Critical Chance received.
Status Effects[]
General[]
The status effect of Puncture damage is Weakened. It lasts 6 seconds and stacks to a maximum of 5 times. Any stacks applied after the 5th will replace the oldest stack. Affected enemies will have a yellow aura.
- The victim's attacks deal 40% less damage. Subsequent procs add 10% reduced damage, up to 80% at max stacks.
- Weapon damage that the victim receives has 5% increased Critical Chance per proc up to 25% at max stacks. This bonus is additive after mods, but does not apply to area of effect damage or Warframe abilities.
Enemies killed by an attack that procs Puncture may have a large bloody hole on where they were hit by the killing blow.
Railjack[]
The status effect of Puncture damage against Railjack space enemies is Decompress, reducing the target ship's shields and armor for 20 seconds, with subsequent procs stacking multiplicatively.
Puncture Sources[]
- Main article: Category:Puncture Damage
Weapons[]
These weapons deal more than a majority of their physical damage as Puncture. The damage ratio is important for physical damage status effects because the game weights the likelihood of which proc occurs according to physical damage ratio. Hence, these weapons proc Weakened more than Stagger or Bleed.
- Weapons with guaranteed Puncture proc

(Alt-fire)

(Explosion)

(Applies 7 procs on hit, bypassing the normal limit of 5)
Mods[]
Abilities[]
Info
- Excalibur expends
75 Energy to summon javelins against enemies within a radius of
15 / 18 / 22 / 25 meters. Excalibur then drives his weapon into the ground, launching the javelins into their targets. Each javelin inflicts
500 / 650 / 800 / 1000 damage evenly distributed between
Impact,
Puncture, and
Slash, with a guaranteed
Slash proc and
Stagger.
- While javelins do not punch through objects or enemies, their striking position is optimized to ensure a successful hit on their targets when they spawn. This allows the javelins to bypass obstacles in the environment including walls, cover, and Grineer Shield Lancer shields.
- Radial Javelin will not target enemies behind obstacles in the environment unless Excalibur has line of sight, or unless the enemy is aware of Excalibur within a short period of time (e.g., an enemy that spots Excalibur and runs out of view can still be targeted by Radial Javelin if the ability is used within a small time frame).
- Each javelin appears as an ethereal
Skana.
Excalibur Prime and
Excalibur Umbra javelins appear as ethereal
Skana Primes and "Umbra" Javelins respectively.
Augment
- Main article: Furious Javelin
Furious Javelin is a Warframe Augment Mod that temporarily increases Excalibur's melee damage for every enemy hit by
Radial Javelin.
Tips & Tricks
- Useful for clearing out large swarms of enemies if one is surrounded.
- Allows players to deal both damage and crowd control at the same time.

Info
- Loki expends
25 energy to create a holographic decoy within a range of 100 meters at the location on the aiming reticle. With heightened Threat Level, 400 Shield and 200 Health points increased by
15% of all enemy shields and health within
15 meters of the decoy when cast, the decoy will draw enemy fire and last for a maximum of
7 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds or until destroyed by enemy attacks.
- The decoy wields a
Lato (
Lex Prime in
Loki Prime's case), with which it is capable of inflicting
Impact,
Puncture, and
Slash Status Effects.
- The decoy's shots do not inflict damage. However, they still count as hits for purposes such as
Arcane Strike.
- The decoy's shots do not inflict damage. However, they still count as hits for purposes such as
- Only 1 decoy can be available at a time. Deploying a new decoy while one is already active will remove the previous decoy from the field.
- If enough damage is done to the decoy, it will collapse and disappear.
- The decoy wields a
- If aimed at a ceiling or the sky, the decoy will appear directly below the aimed point, allowing it to be placed in higher platforms.
- If placed in a position where enemies cannot reach:
- Decoy has a tendency to fall through certain props on the map. This means a decoy can be placed on top of something, for example: a pillar, and it will sometimes fall through it, being protected from within the prop.
- Decoy's shields regenerate over time.
- Has a cast time of ~0.6 seconds.
- Subsuming Loki to the Helminth will offer Decoy and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
Augment

Damage Decoy is a Warframe Augment Mod for Loki's
Decoy ability that allows Decoy to be cast onto an enemy, turning that enemy hostile to everything and inciting former allies to attack while having their damage reflected, amplified, and additionally succumbed to 5 random status effects.
- Main article: Deceptive Bond
Deceptive Bond is a Warframe Augment Mod for Loki's
Decoy in PvE and Conclave that redirects damage dealt to Loki to the decoy, and vice versa.
- Main article: Savior Decoy
Savior Decoy is a Warframe Augment Mod for Loki that allows
Decoy to absorb any fatal damage dealt to the player before switching places, along with passively increasing Decoy's Casting Speed.
Tips & Tricks
- Enemies will focus on the decoy if it is deployed closer to them than Loki is, allowing Loki to deal heavy damage or escape an area without being targeted.
- Decoy's defenses do not increase at higher levels or with Ability Strength, making it very weak at high levels if not placed in cover.
Decoy can be used in conjunction with
Switch Teleport, essentially allowing teleportation to any point where Decoy can be placed. It should be noted that sometimes there is no switch and loki is just teleporting close to decoy, so careful placing is required sometimes.
- The hologram blocks lasers from Laser Barriers, allowing passage through when deployed directly on top of them (as they only emit from one side).
- Decoy can be used as means to find or lure out hiding enemies.
- The copy will only start firing its Lato if there is an enemy close enough to be attracted, but it will not stop firing once all affected enemies are dead. Keep this in mind when using Decoy to scout enemy locations.
- Can also be used to hold doors open, which can be useful when the following area is full of enemies, allowing players to engage them from a safer distance.
Limbo can put the decoy in the rift, making it completely invincible against enemies not also in the rift, although this eliminates its ability to apply procs on enemies.
- Can obtain bonus shielding from Shield Osprey Specters, adding some shielding while increasing the shield recharge rate and delay of the decoy. The Specter will also automatically prioritize targets like Decoy to protect, just like it will prioritize following other specters. Note that the osprey is terribly weak, and the decoy will attract heavy fire, making the possibility of the specter dying quickly much higher.

Impact damage and guaranteed
Stagger in a ? meter area and converts enemies hit into Beta Thralls as long as Revenant does not already have maximum thralls.
- Beta Thralls also convert other enemies they hit into beta thralls up to the total Thrall count, but they do not leave behind energy pillars on death.
- Projectile damage is affected by
Vigorous Swap and
Arcane Arachne.
- Energy pillars do not inflict damage per second nor launch projectiles against thralls.

1% HP (Death Well drain to health conversion) |
Info
- Immortalized by his reaping of souls, Sevagoth passively collects the life essences of enemies affected by or slain by
Reap,
Sow,
Gloom, or
Death's Harvest, gradually filling the Death Well gauge displayed above his ability icons. Once 75% of the gauge is filled, Sevagoth may leave his mortal body behind to transfer control into
Sevagoth's Shadow, which is propelled forward for 5 meters then drains 1% of the Death Well per second to remain summoned. Sevagoth's Shadow possesses four new Abilities:
Embrace,
Consume,
Death's Harvest, and
Reunite. Exalted Shadow will deactivate when the Death Well fully depletes, when the Shadow receives fatal damage or falls out of bounds, when Transference is initiated, or when
Reunite is cast.
- Sevagoth's physical body is invulnerable to damage and untargetable by enemies while taking control of Shadow.
- The Shadow will always spawn with full Shields, Health and initial Energy, regardless of its previous state on recast.
- Propulsion from summoning the Shadow carries forth Sevagoth's momentum when casting Exalted Shadow, allowing the player to gain extra distance once controlling the Shadow.
- If aim gliding while casting this ability, Sevagoth's body will be propelled forward in an arcing trajectory instead.
- When the Death Well reaches at least 75%, a sound indicator plays for the player, while the well's energy visually glows intensely, as energy veins emanate outside the well.
- While controlling Sevagoth's Shadow, he arms himself with his melee Exalted Weapon, the
Shadow Claws.
- Primaries and secondaries equipped on Sevagoth can not be used by the Shadow.
- Base damage is
100 / 125 / 200 / 250 damage distributed between 30%
Impact, 20%
Puncture, and 50%
Slash.
- Attacks have a 38% critical chance, 2.6x critical multiplier, 24% status chance, 1.0 attack speed, and a range of 1.5 meters.
- Damage is affected by
Ability Strength and most melee weapon mods.
- Ability Strength is taken from Sevagoth's stat, not the Shadow's.
- The mods that affect Shadow Claws include:
- damage (e.g.,
Steel Charge)
- physical (e.g.,
Heavy Trauma)
- elemental (e.g.,
Molten Impact)
- faction (e.g.,
Smite Grineer)
- critical chance and damage (e.g.,

Virulent Scourge)
- status duration (e.g.,
Lasting Sting)
- attack speed (e.g.,
Fury and
Berserker Fury)

Covert Lethality), Melee Combo Counter Mods (except
Drifting Contact), Acolyte Mods (e.g.,
Blood Rush), or Amalgam Mods (e.g.
Amalgam Organ Shatter).
- Riven Mods are not generated for Shadow Claws.
- Ability Synergy:
- Sevagoth's Abilities will stay active during Exalted Shadow.
- Each enemy affected then killed by any source, or directly killed by
Reap's Shadow,
Sow, or
Death's Harvest fills 5% of the Death Well. Each enemy alive within
Gloom's radius fills 0.1% per second of the Death Well.
- The player must be directly controlling Sevagoth with Exalted Shadow deactivated to gain Death Well percentage from the eligible Abilities noted above.
- Death Well gain stacks when Sown enemies die from Reap, but not vice-versa.
- For each percent of the Death Well drained during Exalted Shadow, Sevagoth's health is healed by 1% of his maximum health pool once
Reunite is complete.
- Casting Exalted Shadow is a full-body animation that restricts movement and other actions.
- Sevagoth visually summons his Shadow which materializes in front of him. Sevagoth's body remains stationary in a levitating stance.
- While within an ability nullification sphere from enemies such as Nullifier Crewman or Isolator Bursa, Sevagoth's Shadow receives damage to its Health pool as 15% of its maximum health pool every 0.5 seconds.
- Sevagoth's Shadow will benefit from Archon Shards slotted into Sevagoth himself.
- Sevagoth's Shadow, and Shadow Claws, can benefit from Helminth Invigorations applied to Sevagoth as they are both considered exalted weapons.
- Any primary, secondary, and reload speed buff from invigorations will not have any benefit during Exalted Shadow as it uses melee exclusively.

Info
- Styanax expends
15 energy to hurl a single Axios Javelin in an arcing trajectory toward the reticle. Axios travels at high speed for
50 meters before dissipating, while impaling the first enemy it directly hits to carry it along. The impaled enemy and any enemies in Axios' flight path are inflicted
500 / 750 / 1,000 / 1,250
Puncture damage and Knockdown. The impaled enemy remains pinned by Axios Javelin for
8 seconds.
- Axios Javelin has target detection around the reticle, causing the thrown javelin to attempt to home into the nearest enemy.
- The Javelin's destination is instantly set upon activating the ability, rather than where it would naturally travel when thrown where aimed. It follows this course regardless of any movement or aiming during the throwing animation, even if you move behind an obstruction that should block its set course.
- If cast in the air, Styanax hops up 1 meter before he throws the javelin.
- The javelin benefits from generic increases to weapon base damage, such as from
Arcane Arachne,
Holster Amp, and
Vigorous Swap, but not from weapon class specific increases like
Steel Charge or
Rifle Amp.
- If Axios impales an enemy and it impacts a surface, the javelin explodes to inflict
500 / 750 / 1,000 / 1,250
Blast damage to all enemies in a
15 meter radius. Simultaneously, a vortex implosion lasting for 2 seconds, pulls all enemies within sight detection range into its center.
- Can be recast with brief to no delay in-between, allowing for rapid-fire javelin throws.
- Casting Axios Javelin is a full-body animation that restricts Styanax's grounded movement and interrupts other actions, as well as displacing his position vertically when midair.
Augment
- Main article: Axios Javelineers
Axios Javelineers is a Warframe Augment Mod for Styanax that allows
Axios Javelin to spawn specters that throw two additional javelins, with a guaranteed chance to spawn a Vortex, while increasing vortex duration when directly striking enemies.

Info
- Titania shrinks down to a quarter of her original size, becoming a flying pixie. In this form, Titania permanently remains in mid-air, gaining vertical and horizontal flight capabilities using the movement (W A S D ), crouch (Ctrl ), jump (Spacebar ), and blink (Shift ) hotkeys, similar to Archwing Maneuvers but without terrain collision damage. Additionally, Titania passively gains 50% evasion and a 10 meter
Vacuum-like pickup radius. In Razorwing, Titania flies at 10 m/s and sprints at 20 m/s.
- Instead of all her normal weapons, Titania wields two proprietary Razorwing Exalted Weapons: the
Dex Pixia dual machine pistols and the
Diwata heavy sword.
- Weapons are affected by and can trigger Warframe Arcanes and Exodia Arcanes.

- Diwata can not be equipped with Acolyte Mods (e.g.,
Blood Rush) or Amalgam Mods (e.g.,
Amalgam Organ Shatter).
- As an example, with a maxed
- Riven Mods are not generated for Diwata.
- While Razorwing is active, Titania will also command 6 Razorfly drones to attack nearby enemies. These Razorflies last until killed with 240 health, 100 shields and 40 armor Drones deal
10 / 24 / 48 / 80 damage per hit.
- Damage distribution is 10%
Impact, 10%
Puncture, and 80%
Slash.
- Attack Speed of 2.0 times per second.
- Drones have 2.0x critical multiplier, 20% critical chance, and 00% status chance.
- Razorfly damage is affected by
Ability Strength and certain mods equipped on Diwata.
- Razorflies also have a dramatically increased Threat Level, allowing them to draw enemy fire and attention away from Titania's team.
- Razorflies can be killed by enemy fire, and can only be replenished by recasting Razorwing.
- Titania's kills during Razorwing will restore health to her Razorflies.
- Razorflies can trigger Warframe Arcanes that require a headshot, such as
Arcane Precision, if they hit enemies in the head.
- Razorflies cannot damage enemies across the Rift Plane.
- Damage distribution is 10%
- Razorwing consumes
25 energy to activate, then consumes
5 per second while active and will remain active until Titania's energy is depleted, or the ability is deactivated by pressing the ability key again.
- Titania cannot replenish energy using
Energy Vampire,
Rally Point, Rift Plane's innate energy regeneration, Squad Energy Restores,
Energy Siphon,
Energy Nexus,
Dreamer's Bond, and/or
Wellspring while Razorwing is active.
- Energy Orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb's energy restores,
Rage,
Hunter Adrenaline,
Spellbound Harvest,
Arcane Energize, and
Emergence Dissipate's Energy Motes can still replenish Titania's energy while in Razorwing.
- Razorwing's energy drain is not converted into shields by Augur Mods.
- Titania cannot replenish energy using
- Ability Synergy:
Spellbind's status immunity negates the stagger from "crashing" into surfaces.
- Razorwing spawns an extra Razorfly for each
Tribute currently active, up to 4 extra Razorflies up to a maximum of 10.
- While in Razorwing, Titania can respawn these Razorflies by picking up the corresponding offerings.
- Razorflies will fly to and pick up Tribute offerings for Titania.
- While Razorwing is active, Titania can move around freely while casting her other abilities. She can also use most items from her gear, and equipped gear items' sizes will also be shrunk to her scale. Deployed gear items will still retain their original sizes.
- Kills done by Titania with Razorwing active count towards the "From on High" (Kill 100 enemies in Archwing form on the Plains of Eidolon) challenge.
- On the other hand, Razorwing is not considered an Archwing for Riven Mod challenges.
- Titania is unable to accomplish any action that requires the Use key (default X ) while Razorwing is active, thus cannot interact with consoles, pick up carriables such as datamasses, or revive allies from bleedout.
- Titania can pick up carriables before activating Razorwing, but is not able to use them until she deactivates the ability.
- The Operator can still be used while in Razorwing, and be able to do these actions without deactivating the ability. However, energy drain and countdowns on buffs like
Razorwing Blitz will still continue while in Operator mode.
- Companions disappear when activating Razorwing and will come back once the ability is deactivated. Similar to Archwing,
Animal Instinct and
Primed Animal Instinct will still apply.
Reinforced Bond and
Tenacious Bond's buffs will continue to affect Titania while in Razorwing, if the conditions are met on the companion.
- Companions will not regenerate shields while Titania is in Razorwing.
- If Titania enters Razorwing while a companion is downed, the companion recovery timer will continue to count up. The gauge will pause at 100%, and the companion will not revive until Titania exits Razorwing. Effects that shorten the companion recovery timer such as
Aerial Bond will work as normal while in Razorwing.
Weapons
- Main article: Dex Pixia
The Dex Pixia are Titania's and
Titania Prime's signature dual pistols, summoned by activating the ability
Razorwing.
- This weapon deals primarily
Slash damage.
Advantages
- Very high status chance.
- Decent fire rate.
- Adequate magazine size.
- Does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.
- Has a 0.3-second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating ammo.
- Regenerates 50 ammo per second; takes 1.2 seconds to regenerate a fully depleted magazine.
- Has a 0.3-second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating ammo.
- Innate two
and one
polarities.
Disadvantages
- Main article: Diwata
The Diwata is Titania's and
Titania Prime's signature heavy blade, summoned by activating the ability
Razorwing.
Advantages
- High critical chance.
- Above average attack speed.
Disadvantages
Augment
- Main article: Razorwing Blitz
Razorwing Blitz is a Warframe Augment Mod for Titania's
Razorwing, which boosts the speed of some Warframe and weapon actions when an Ability is cast while the former is channeled.
Tips & Tricks
- Razorwing greatly improves Titania's survivability:
- Titania presents a smaller target profile with Razorwing active, making it more difficult for enemies to hit her.
- Razorwing's innate evasion allows Titania to avoid shots.
- Razorflies have increased threat rating, drawing aggro away from Titania.
- The fact that Titania is airborne with Razorwing also allows her to fully avoid taking damage from certain enemies, such as melee enemies and Nox's toxin cloud.
- Equipping
Agility Drift and
Aviator can provide even higher survivability, especially against high level enemies.
- Dex Pixia has a high rate of fire which allows Titania to deal a lot of damage in a short amount of time. They are also fully capable of triggering
Arcane Pistoleer, frequently allowing for up to 12 second bursts of unlimited fire.
- Casting the ability while in the air will shave off about 0.3 seconds of the animation, the part where she lifts off of the ground, since she is already in the air.
- When trying to decide between equipping
Growing Power or
Pistol Amp, Growing Power increases Dex Pixia's base damage before secondary weapon mods are considered, and Pistol Amp increases Dex Pixia's base damage as if it was a secondary weapon mod (e.g.,
Hornet Strike). This means that Growing Power's 25% ability strength increase is the better choice accompanying weaker ability strength bonuses and stronger secondary weapon damage bonuses while Pistol Amp's 27% damage increase is the better choice with stronger ability damage bonuses and weaker secondary weapon damage bonuses.
- When trying to decide between equipping
Growing Power or
Steel Charge, Growing Power increases Diwata's base damage before melee weapon mods, and Steel Charge increases Diwata's base damage as if it was a melee weapon mod. Despite this advantage for Growing Power, its 25% ability strength increase is inferior to Steel Charge's 60% damage increase in most situations.
- Titania will drop a datamass or lantern when razorwing is invoked.
Bugs
- While in the Simulacrum, using the Helminth ability Empower or
Energy Conversion before activating
Razorwing does not increase the damage of
Dex Pixia as opposed to other strength mods, despite showing otherwise in the 'Abilities' section.
- Tennokai mods can be installed on Diwata but cannot be activated as Diwata does not have a Heavy Attack.
- Titania can summon archwing weapons when you are close to the ground.
- Titania can use normal weapon if the connection has a large ping.
- If you fly to the roof of a tile and then switch into operator mode and back into razorwing relatively quickly you can glitch out of the map.
- This was 'fixed' in Update 29.0.8, it is still possible in further updates but requires significantly more precision.
- If you equip Conservation tools or a Fishing spear, you can interact with relative normalcy, excluding hacking and carrying power cells or datamasses or their equivalents (you'll pick them up, but after it puts them at your hand's position, it won't let you hold them).
- This bug is a possible trigger condition for another; should you vanquish a Kuva Lich while in Archwing mode, you switch to the secondary equipped in your loadout, rather than Dex Pixia. This is only possible if you've used another bug to allow you to interact.
- There are some cases where after voiding out, as operator or while in Razorwing mode, you will become normal size and the ability icon for Razorwing will show that you have 6 razorflies, this is only visual.

Misc:
1% / 2% / 4% / 5% (lifesteal) |
Info
- Overcome with rage, Valkyr unleashes a pair of energy talons, the
Valkyr Talons, as her melee Exalted Weapon. Normal attacks deal
100 / 125 / 200 / 250 damage within 2 meters and all of Valkyr's attacks heal her for 1% / 2% / 4% / 5% of the damage dealt.
- Damage is affected by
Ability Strength and most mods.
- As an example, with a maxed
Pressure Point,
Shocking Touch and
Intensify, the normal attacks of a rank-3 Hysteria will deal
Base Damage × (1 + Damage Mods) × (1 + Elemental Mods) × (1 + Strength Mods) =
250 × (1 + 1.2) × (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 1,358.5 damage. - The mods that can be equipped on and affect
Valkyr Talons include:
- damage (e.g.,
Steel Charge)
- physical damage (e.g.,
Jagged Edge)
- elemental damage (e.g.,
Shocking Touch)
- faction (e.g.,
Smite Corpus)
- critical chance and damage (e.g.,
True Steel and
Organ Shatter)
- Status chance (e.g.,
Melee Prowess and
Vicious Frost)
- attack speed (e.g.,
Fury and
Berserker Fury)
- range (e.g.,
Primed Reach)
- Tennokai (e.g.,
Dreamer's Wrath)

Shattering Impact
- damage (e.g.,
- Valkyr Talons can not be equipped with Melee Combo Counter Mods (except
Drifting Contact), Acolyte Mods (e.g.,
Blood Rush), or Amalgam Mods (e.g.
Amalgam Organ Shatter).
- Riven Mods are not generated for Valkyr Talons.
- The combo counter will reset when equipped with
Xoris.
- Hysteria's combo counter decay is affected by
Naramon's
Power Spike
- Hysteria's innate lifesteal is calculated from the total damage of Valkyr's melee attacks after resistances are applied. Hysteria's lifesteal is also additive when combined with other sources of lifesteal
- For example, a maxed
Life Strike and a rank-3 Hysteria will yield
Base Lifesteal + Lifesteal Mods = 5% + 20% = 25% lifesteal on heavy hits.
- For example, a maxed
- As an example, with a maxed
- While active, Valkyr becomes Invulnerable to damage and Status Effects.
- Certain attacks will still push Valkyr away, and shock waves will cause her to bounce into the air. However, these attacks will not force Valkyr to the ground.
- Statuses that were already active when Hysteria was cast will not be removed. However, Valkyr will be immune to their damage regardless.
- Valkyr is not immune to Commander teleportation, Regulator minimap disruption, Cryo Floors, Tar-Mutalist MOA slows, or Swarm-Mutalist MOA screen hazing.
- Valkyr emits an aura with a radius of 5 meters around her while Hysteria is active, and 30% of the total damage she ignores is stored. If any enemies within this aura have Line of Sight of Valkyr when Hysteria is deactivated, Valkyr will be dealt 25% of all stored damage as
Impact damage.
- The aura will continue to grow up to 20 meters and each kill reduces it by 1 meter. The aura cannot be decreased below 5 meters.
- Stored damage is calculated from the total damage Valkyr ignores before resistances are applied.
- The amount of stored damage can be monitored at the top right of the HUD under Hysteria's ability icon.
- Stored damage dealt bypasses shield gating and can kill instantly if too large.
- Stored damage is reset upon swapping weapons.
- Highlighted enemies become unmarked if Valkyr moves out of range, negating the damage taken when Hysteria expires.
- Since enemies need line-of-sight, invisibility prevents the damage.
- After activation, a percentage counter will appear on the ability icon. The percentage increases from 0% to 100% over the course of 40 seconds.
- Hysteria costs
25 energy to activate, then consumes
2.5 energy per second at 0% while active. The cost will increase by an additional
2.5 until it caps out at
15 energy per second at 100%. Hysteria will remain active until either Valkyr's energy is depleted, or the ability is deactivated by casting it again (default 4 ).
- Valkyr cannot replenish energy using
Energy Vampire,
Rally Point, Rift Plane's innate energy regeneration, Squad Energy Restores,
Energy Siphon,
Energy Nexus,
Dreamer's Bond, and/or
Wellspring while Hysteria is active.
- Energy Orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb's energy restores,
Spellbound Harvest,
Arcane Energize, and
Emergence Dissipate's Energy Motes can still replenish Valkyr's energy during Hysteria.
- Hysteria's energy drain is not converted into shields by Augur Mods.
- Hysteria costs
- Hysteria is affected by and can trigger Warframe arcanes,
Exodia Might , and
Melee Crescendo (even though the benefit from exodia might is minimal and it does not share the same combo counter as the melee weapon thus not benefiting directly from Melee Crescendo).
- While Hysteria is active, Valkyr can cast other abilities and use primary and secondary weapons. Switching weapons will disable Hysteria's effects, including making her vulnerable to damage again; it will also pause the energy cost increase but will continue to drain energy at the current rate.
- Hysteria comes installed with its own unique stance. Additional combos will be unlocked as Hysteria increases in rank.
- Cast time of 1 second is affected by Casting Speed.
- Hysteria's attacks can damage enemies across the Rift Plane.
- Some of the passives of the Incarnon melee weapons work on Hysteria.

Augment
- Main article: Enraged
Enraged is a Warframe Augment Mod for Valkyr's
Hysteria that increases its damage and critical chance but fixes its duration to 15 seconds and adds a matching cooldown. The base Energy cost is also increased to 50, while the Energy drain over time is removed.
- Main article: Hysterical Assault
Hysterical Assault is a Warframe Augment/Exilus mod for Valkyr that allows her to pounce onto enemies while in
Hysteria by meleeing while aiming, dealing damage on contact. It also provides brief Invulnerability when switching off her Valkyr Talons while in Hysteria.
Tips & Tricks
- There may be a dark red hue for the duration of Hysteria, making it difficult to see enemies. This is especially problematic if Infested Parasites are nearby.
- Turning 'Color Correction' off in Options > Display can alleviate this issue.
- Her invulnerability can be taken advantage of in reviving teammates in exchange for consuming energy and not attacking enemies with her powerful claws.
- This can also be used to escape powerful opponents at the middle point of this ability. Allowing greater hit and run tactics.
- It's preferable to use
Steel Charge over
Growing Power when modding for pure damage as the former adds more damage to Hysteria than the latter.
- It's recommended to activate Melee Auto-targeting System in the options as Valkyr's awkward attack animations may miss a lot.
- Players who suffer low FPS (Frames per second) may want to avoid attack speed boosts, such as Warcry, while using Hysteria. High attack speeds can result in a loss of DPS as melee attacks are "semi-automatic".
- Heavy Attacks in Hysteria open enemies to Finishers, allowing you to reliably use the damage boost without spending energy on her
Paralysis ability.
- This finisher also knocks enemies down, allowing for a successive ground finisher for a quick burst of high damage.
Bugs
- Using Hysteria the moment you are downed by enemies will cause you to bug. Sometimes, you will only be able to use your actual melee weapon, but it will swing as though it is your claws; Other times you will be able to use your other weapons, and all while being invincible. You must wait until the effect ends for the bug to clear.
- Attacks outside the vulnerability radius of Hysteria are still counted to the damage received in the Hysteria status, however these additional points do no effect at the end of the duration.
- If only a melee weapon is equipped in the player's loadout, casting Hysteria while holding either a Codex or Synthesis Scanner will cause Hysteria's attacks to instead use the equipped melee's quick-attacks, while also rendering both combos and blocking unusable.
