• Octavia expends 25 energy to throw a spherical music device in an arc toward the direction she aims. Upon impact, the device deploys into the Mallet which hovers in place for 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 seconds. The Mallet is an invulnerable hovering orb that continuously plays percussive music, attracting enemies in sight to attack it while absorbing and accumulating all enemy damage hitting its energy mass. Stored damage is converted into  Blast damage, multiplied by 1x / 1.5x / 2x / 2.5x, and rhythmically dealt to all enemies within a radius of 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 meters and Line of Sight from the Mallet.
  • Absorbed damage can diminish over time.
  • Mallet has no target priority, enemies will be likely to shoot the Tenno if they are in line of sight.
  • Mallet's music is in tune with the Percussion section of the Mandachord, drawing from the preset musical notes to determine the percussive aura's damage strength and intervals.
• Up to 1 Mallet can be deployed at a time. Deploying a new Mallet will remove the current one.
• Ability Synergy:
• Casting Mallet is not a One-Handed Action and interrupts other actions, but allows movement.
• Throwing animation speed is affected by Casting Speed.
• Mallet will visually emit sound bars from its core to beat-match Percussion notes. Sound bars enlarge and shrink based on Percussion, Bass, and Melody music in the environment.
  • Percussion bars appear from a horizontal ring around the Mallet core, while Bass and Melody bars appear from diagonal rings that layer on top the Mallet when Resonator and Metronome are active and nearby.
• Mallet's core and percussive aura borders are affected by the chosen Warframe energy color. The percussive aura is briefly visible to allies when Mallet is cast before fading away, and is constantly visible to Octavia herself.

Partitioned Mallet

• Enemies who have both ranged and melee weapons will prefer to use melee.
• Octavia can position behind Mallet to minimize her chance of taking enemy fire.
  • Be careful of explosive effects drawn to Mallet's center of origin.
• Mallet's localized control effect is particularly potent against groups caught in narrow choke points.
• Mallet can damage nullifier bubbles, preventing nulifiers from removing abilities centered within the mallet.
