Changes:

• The Relic Reward selection screen will now show the crafted/owned status of the items within the cracked Relics!
  
  • We intended to ship this with Koumei (as it was mentioned in our September 18 Dev Workshop) but it wasn’t quite working as intended. The Relic Reward screen looks a little different now to accomplish this change.
• Improved the Fusion confirmation popup to make it much more obvious that you are using a Legendary Core.
  • This is so that you don’t accidentally consume those precious Legendary Cores unintentionally! If you have since the launch of Koumei & the Five Fates, you can submit a ticket to support.warframe.com.
    
• Made several audio adjustments to Koumei, including toning down the high frequencies on Koumei’s Omikuji cast.
• Made mix adjustments to the Infested Oni’s vocals.
• Adjusted the Kaminari Ephemera’s coattails cloth to make it more flowy and less stiff.
• Updated the error message when a purchase fails on a Steam bound account to better communicate to players the reason. More information in the dedicated Steam Account Binding & Auto Login post.

Companion Changes & Fixes:

• Updated Paralytic Spores’ description to make it clearer that spores affect nearby enemies.
  • Now reads: “Charges at an enemy within 30m dealing 160 damage. This releases spores that affect enemies within 15m, opening them to Melee Finishers, and slowing them by 50% for 10s.”
• Fixed Unleashed’s description being incorrect and still stating that Sunika will grapple the target.
  • As a reminder from the Companion rework, Unleashed now targets all Eximus units instead of just “VIPs”, which was a rather restrictive category (ie. Capture targets). It also deals 300% damage against Overguard, making it far more useful overall compared to its previous version.
• Fixed Companions standing still and not using their abilities if any of the Bond Mods (Momentous Bond, Tenacious Bond, etc.) are equipped.
• Fixed issues with Territorial Aggression’s spawn/despawn VFX.
• Fixed several crashes caused by Sunika’s Savagery.
• Fixed script error with Companion Mods in UI.
• Fixed script error caused by Scan Matter.

Fixes:

• Fixed casting Caliban’s Lethal Progeny as Client in a full squad causing one of their active Summulyst/Conculyst/Ortholyst summons to despawn.
• Fixed Fate Pearls earned from Shrine Defense missions being affected by Resource Boosters.
  • Similar to other special resource rewards (Vestigial Motes, etc.), these are not intended to be affected by Resource Boosters – the additional Fate Pearls you earned during this time are yours to keep! Be sure to say hi to Koumei for me at her Shrine next time you visit the shop.
• Fixed Nova’s Null Star causing a 2.5 second delay before you can cast any of her other abilities.
• Fixed crashes caused by Mastery Rank tests.
• Fixes towards crashes that could occur in Relays or after someone leaves your Squad.
• Fixed controller binding to open map legend in Open Landscape advanced maps not working.
• Fixed the Galvanized Steel, Reflex and Elementalist Mods having the incorrect Fusion Endo cost (10k) to bring them to max rank.
  • It will now cost 30k Endo, as intended, to match other Galvanized mods. For those of you who fused it to max before this hotfix, put the Endo you saved into a piggy bank!
• Fixed Augment Mods not being carried over when duplicating Mod Configs if they were for Helminth injected abilities (as in, not part of the base Warframe).
• Fixed the capacity cost of the Koumei Enigmono and the Heurodis decorations being incorrect in the in-game Market (5 instead of 100 as intended).
• Fixed several Syandana clipping through Koumei’s skirt.
• Fixed the Lato, Strun, Aklato and Vectis clipping into Koumei when holstered.
• Fixed the wrong popup message (“Acquiring Targets” instead of “Joining Session”) when attempting to join a squad in a Shrine Defense mission.
• Fixed Challenge progress appearing reset to 0 for Revive and Cipher challenges (Healer, Cheater of Death, Cryptographer, Operative, etc.) after logging into a different platform on a Cross Platform Save account.
• Fixes towards the Vauban Phased Skin not applying to Vauban Prime:
  • With Prime Details off, the Skin now appears as intended.
  • Skin can now be colored customized.
• Fixed several script errors caused by Koumei’s Dice HUD element, Omikuji, Bunraku ability and Omamori ability.
• Fixed script errors caused by Loadout UI.
• Fixed script errors caused by the Favorite button in Arsenal.
• Fixed script error caused by Caliban’s Sentient Wrath, Fusion Strike and Lethal Progeny summons.
• Fixed several script errors caused by map legends.
• Fixed script error caused by quick time event prompts.
• Fixed several script errors caused by Mods in UI.
• Fixed script error when picking up Offering in Shrine Defense mission.
• Fixed script error in Fate Pearls shop.
• Fixed script error with Infested Oni in Shrine Defense mission.
• Fixed script error caused by Gyre’s Rotorswell.
• Fixed script error caused by Wyrm.
• Fixed several script errors caused by sorting by name in appearance Arsenal.
• Fixed crash caused by Nova’s Null Star, Neutron Star Augment and Antimatter Drop.
• Fixed crash caused by Higasa’s shield while aiming.
• Fixed crash when loading into Sanctuary Onslaught missions.
• Fixed rare crash after attempting to bind Steam and Warframe accounts.

NEW WARFRAME: KOUMEI

Test your luck with the dice-maiden. Koumei weaves fate to unleash damage and ensure her survival. To the virtuous, she is an oracle. To the wicked, a perilous game of chance.

Koumei’s Abilities

Passive: Shadow’s Trinity

Every 60 seconds, one of Koumei’s weapons will inflict random Status Effects for 60 seconds.

Ability 1: Kumihimo

Weave the threads of destiny. Enemies who touch the threads suffer a random Elemental Status Effect.

A roll of triple sixes creates threads that inflict one of every Elemental Status Effect.

Ability 2: Omikuji

Koumei glimpses a favorable future and the precise steps needed to reach it. Complete the challenge to earn a Decree*. Unlucky rolls will also give her a debuff, but you can hold the ability to reject the Omikuji.

A roll of triple sixes grants a Decree without a challenge.

Successfully completing a Omikuji challenge in Duviri will bring up the Decree selection screen instead of the Decree being picked for Koumei.

*Expand the spoiler below to see the full list of possible Decrees that can be earned:

Spoiler

Ability 3: Omamori

Surround yourself with Omamori Charms, each with a chance to have enemy attacks heal you instead of damage you. The number of charms is determined by Koumei’s dice roll.

A roll of triple sixes grants invulnerability for the duration of your Omamori Charms.

This is Koumei’s Helminth ability.

Ability 4: Bunraku

Wield your foe’s fate threads like the strings of marionettes. Koumei’s dice determine how many Status Effects foes in front of Koumei will suffer.

A roll of triple sixes causes further Status Effect stacks over time and extends Bunraku to enemies behind Koumei.

This is Koumei’s Railjack Kinesis ability.

How to Acquire Koumei

• New Shrine Defense mission Drop Table rewards
  • More information in the dedicated “New Game Mode: Shrine Defense (Saya’s Visions, Earth)” section below.

This is so that new players can familiarize themselves with the Foundry and enjoy their newly earned Warframe faster (which is a bonus for all!).

NEW GAME MODE: SHRINE DEFENSE (SAYA’S VISIONS, EARTH)

Terrible horrors have been foretold in a Fate Dream, and danger darkens the Ostron’s shores. Together, Saya and the Tenno can weave a brighter future for Cetus.

Venture into the new Shrine Defense mission to protect Koumei’s shrine and ferry her offerings to help ward off the Infested threat. Access the new Saya’s Vision node on Earth by talking to Saya after completing the Saya’s Vigil and Once Awake Quests.

Pre-Requisites

• Complete the Once Awake and Saya’s Vigil Quests
  • If you have already completed these Quests, you will receive an Inbox message instructing you to visit Saya in Cetus.
• Once these Quests are completed, speak to Saya in Cetus to unlock this game mode.

Note On Difficulty

Shrine Defense is an early path game mode with easy-to-learn mechanics that are set at a difficulty appropriate to their skill level. It is not intended to challenge the most seasoned of players, but those looking to play it at an increased difficulty can take it on via the Steel Path.

How To Access

1. After completing the Once Awake and Saya’s Vigil Quests, travel to Cetus on Earth and speak to Saya.

2. Select the “Saya’s Visions” option and follow the waypoint to Koumei’s Shrine.

3. Interact with the Shrine and select the “Saya’s Visions” option to begin the mission.

• Note: After completing this mission once, it will become available as a mission node in the Star Chart.

How To Access on the Steel Path: You must have the Steel Path unlocked and have completed a Shrine Defense mission on the Normal Path — once done, the Steel Path option will become available at the Koumei Shrine and via the Star Chart.

How To Play

Your objective is to assist in the preparation and delivery of offerings to Koumei’s Shrine to draw out the Infestation and defeat them. Collect the first offering from the hut to begin.

Offerings are prepared at huts in Cetus, protect the preparation zones marked around the huts by keeping the Infested enemies out of them. Preparation time is interrupted while enemies are within the marked zone. Keep the Infested away long enough for the Ostrons to prepare their offering, which you can then deliver to the Shrine!

Upon delivering an offering, Health Orbs will drop from Koumei’s Shrine and she will roll her Die to grant the Squad a random Blessing. These Blessings are temporary Squad-wide buffs and are chosen at random:

• Lyre-Worm’s Feast: Squad becomes invulnerable for 30 seconds.
• Twin Kavats: Squad gains Life Steal effect for 30 seconds.
• Ripples on the Deep: Squad gains Critical Chance buff for 30 seconds.
• The Virtues: Squad gains Heat Damage buff for 30 seconds.
• Stars of Perfection: Squad gains Sprint Speed and Parkour Velocity buffs for 30 seconds.
• Eidolon’s Jaws: Squad gains Reload Rate and Fire Rate buffs for 30 seconds.

Multiple Blessings can be active at once if offerings are brought to the Shrine within the duration of the currently active buffs. If an already-active Blessing is chosen, its duration will be reset.

After 5 offerings have been delivered, lure out the heart of this festering Fate Dream by killing enemies in the area. When the Infested Oni emerges, weaken it and gather more offerings to Koumei so you can finally defeat the threat. Take it down to tear through this horrible dream!

Mission Rewards

Successfully completing a Shrine Defense mission will award players with 14-18 Fate Pearls (20-24 on Steel Path) and 800 Ostron Standing, as well as a reward from the mission drop table, including:

• Koumei’s Blueprint & Component Blueprints
• Higasa Blueprint & Components
• Amanata Blueprint & Components
• Endo
• Meso Relics

Offer Fate Pearls (Shop)

Visit Koumei’s Shrine in Cetus after completing a Saya’s Visions mission to gain access to this new shop! Players can find this nearby when loading into Cetus, or by using the new Koumei Fast Travel option via their Gear Wheel! The following wares can be acquired using Fate Pearls (a new resource) earned from Shrine Defense missions:

  • Note: This Mod becomes available in the Shop for players who have unlocked the Steel Path.

Roll Koumei’s Dice

Koumei, what shall be my fate?

The Ostrons have turned to Koumei to seek readings and guidance to their present, so shall you.

Select the “Roll Koumei’s Dice” option at Koumei’s Shrine to cast her Dice and see what the future has in store. Saya will decipher to you what the Dice foretell.

This is a purely narrative system inspired by the questions we ask and seek through fortune-telling tools.

WARFRAME REWORKS & CHANGES

Caliban Rework

It’s finally Caliban’s turn to receive a Rework! The reign of the twin-kingdom hybrid begins.

As mentioned at the top of the patch notes, login today until October 16th @ 11:59 PM ET to earn Caliban for FREE via inbox message.

Introducing a new Status Effect: Tau Damage

Being of half-Sentient origin, Caliban brings a new element to the fight. He’ll inflict Tau Damage and Tau Status Effects upon the battlefield with many of his abilities (specifics listed below for affected abilities).

Tau’s Status Effect inflicts Status Chance Vulnerability* to enemies affected by it, with a max of 10 Stacks culminating in 100% Status Chance Vulnerability (10% per Stack), with each stack individually lasting 8 seconds!

*This effect was originally introduced by Dante and his Pageflight Paragrimms, which applies Status Chance Vulnerability to enemies. This mechanic increases the likelihood an enemy receives a Status Effect when being hit.

Passive Changes:

Caliban’s Passive is virtually unchanged, but we’ve changed it to gather stacks when Caliban is immune, similar to Adaptation.

Razor Gyre Changes:

• Razor Gyre is now a Tau Status-inflicting traversal tool with a multitude of synergies.
  • Tap to dash forward as a spinning vortex, hitting every enemy within your radius.
  • For every enemy hit, Caliban gains 30 Health points, and when his Health is overflowed, it becomes 30 Shields. If your Shields overflow, it becomes 30 Overshield!
    • Razor Gyre will also grant 25% of the Energy cost per enemy hit!
  • Loot and Energy/Health Orbs can now be collected during Razor Gyre.
• Razor Gyre now inflicts Tau Damage and Status instead of Slash and Impact Damage and Status.
  • Razor Gyre inflicts 500 base Tau Damage and 1,000 base Tau Damage on lifted enemies.
  • Razor Gyre has a 25% Status Chance to inflict Tau Status on an enemy.

Sentient Wrath Changes:

• Enemies suspended by Sentient Wrath will now be locked in-place to prevent them from floating away - similar to how Xaku’s “Deny” and Hydroid’s Tentacle Swarm hold enemies in position.
• Sentient Wrath no longer has a target cap (previously capped at 16 targets).
• Sentient Wrath now inflicts Tau Damage, instead of Impact, onto affected/lifted enemies.
  • Sentient Wrath deals 2,000 base Tau Damage with 35% Damage Vulnerability with a base 10 second Duration,
  • Sentient Wrath will inflict a singular Tau Status Effect onto affected enemies.
• Increased the casting speed of Sentient Wrath by 25%.
  • Additionally, you can now re-cast it even if the first “wave” hasn’t finished traveling.
    • If the recast hits enemies, the stun duration is reset.
• Due to the buffs Sentient Wrath received, the Helminth version will only hit in a frontal cone and will not apply any Tau Status Effects against enemies.

Lethal Progeny Changes:

Caliban can now summon three types of Sentients: Ortholysts, Summulysts, and Conculysts (the OG). All Sentient summons will, naturally, adapt to incoming enemy damage. You can only summon a set of Sentients at a time, so no mixing of 1 Conculyst, 2 Ortholysts, or one of each Sentient type.

Each Sentient comes with its own unique mechanic. Conculysts will match Caliban’s Fusion Strike with one of their own, Ortholysts will deliver a rain of guaranteed Tau Status across the battlefield, and Summulyst summons will try to ensure your Shields are never depleted.

Here’s how Lethal Progeny and each of its Sentient summons work now:

• When you cast to summon Caliban’s Sentients, you’ll summon all 3 of the chosen Sentients with one cast instead of previously needing to cast three separate times. Players can now recast the ability to refresh their Sentient count or summon different Sentient types. Recasting will replace existing Sentients and summon new ones where Caliban is aiming.

• Conculysts
  • As Melee-oriented summons, the Concluysts retain their role as the primary damage dealers of Caliban’s trifecta.
    • Conculysts “Tornado” Ability lasts 10 seconds with a cooldown of 4 seconds.
    • The Tornado now does 1000 damage, up from the previous 50 damage.
    • Their Tornado Ability cooldown and Damage does not scale with any Mods.
  • Concluysts will now cast Fusion Strike alongside Caliban for 0.5x the effectiveness of Caliban’s Fusion Strike.
    • Conculysts will target their Fusion Strike wherever Caliban’s was fired.
  • Conculysts’ target priority has been slightly reduced for enemies.
    • Conculysts target priority was lowered to incentivize using the Summulyst as the premiere distraction noodle!
    • Target priority, or threat level, defines how the AI decides what’s the most important target to fight on the field at any given time, where the AI will attack the NPC with the highest target priority
  • Unchanged: Caliban can summon up to 3 Conculysts at a time.

• Ortholysts
  • As long-ranged summons, the Ortholysts inflict only Tau Damage and Tau Status Effects onto the field en masse between their two modes: free-moving and stationary artillery forms!
    • Ortholysts’ default weapon has a 100% Status Chance, guaranteeing Tau Status Effects
      • The Ortholysts “Artillery” weapon has 300% Status Chance.
      • The Status Chance of the Ortholysts won’t scale with any Mods.
  • Ortholysts’ target priority matches that of Conculysts.
  • Caliban can summon up to 3 Ortholysts at a time.

• Summulysts:
  • Summulysts are portal-based Sentients that summon Shield-regenerating Choralysts that’ll aggro and distract your foes, while recharging you and your allies’ Shields.
    • Summulysts will summon 6 Choralysts. These Choralysts, when killed, will be immediately replaced if the Summulyst is still active.
    • Choralysts have the highest possible target priority, ensuring enemies target them whenever possible instead of the players.
  • Caliban can summon 1 Summulyst at a time.

• His Sentients will benefit from the 10x Damage multiplier against all non-Sentient Factions/enemies whenever a Sentient unit deals Sentient Damage.
• Sentients have a base Duration of 45 seconds, up from 25 seconds.
  • Scales with Ability Duration Mods.
• Sentients continue to scale with Ability Strength with the following:
  • Damage Multiplier (2.5x base)
  • Health Multiplier (2x base)
  • Rank (30 base)
• Conculysts, Ortholoysts, and Summulysts will restore Shields at 25 Shields per second (scaling with Ability Strength).
  • Summulysts will be the most effective as the Summulyst and 6 Choralysts will all recharge your Shields!
  • The range to receive the Shield recharge scales with Ability Range!
• Removed collision on summons so Caliban’s Progeny does not get in his way, similar to Nekros’ Shadows.
• You can now see your Sentient summons through walls, similar to how Khora can see Venari.
• Squad members will see Caliban’s Sentients with some dithering to make it clear they’re allies!

Fusion Strike Changes:

• Changed damage type from Blast to Tau and inflicts Tau Status Effects.
  • The stream itself deals a base of 15,000 Tau Damage per second, scaling with Ability Strength. In addition to the Beam dealing damage, struck enemies will explode with further damage after the cast!
    • The Convergence Explosion deals 750 base Tau Damage, scaling with Ability Strength.
    • The Enemy Detonation deals 5,000 base Tau Damage, scaling with Ability Strength.
    • The stream has a Status Chance of 20%, unaffected by Mods.
• Enemies can now be damaged by more than one Fusion Strike beam per cast.
  • Defense Reduction (Armor + Shields) strip occurs only once.
    • 50% Defense Reduction at 100 Ability Strength or 100% at 200 Ability Strength.
  • Fusion Strike’s beam will strip defenses alongside the radial field left behind (best of both worlds!)
  • Fusion Strike’s beam now can deal damage multiple times in one instance (meaning the Beam can proc multiple damage ticks in one activation) to support damaging enemies more than once.
• Reduced the player’s turning speed when casting Fusion Strike.
  • The intention was to ensure that Fusion Strike felt like a committed cast, while helping the player strike enemies effectively due to the beam's increased lethality.
• Casting Fusion Strike now makes Caliban immune from damage for the duration of the cast.

Nova Rework (Lite)

Nova has received a few changes to how her kit functions, aiming to bring extra quality of life alongside build variance.

Passive Changes:

Nova’s original passive emitted Blast Damage upon her being knocked down, meaning any Primed Sure Footed users would have seen this nullified entirely. So, we’ve whipped up a new passive that feels more appropriate for 2024 Warframe standards:

• Enemies killed while Slowed have 15% to drop Health Orbs. Enemies killed while Sped Up have 15% to drop Energy Orbs.

Null Star Changes:

• This ability is now recastable!
  • As this is Nova’s main source of Damage Reduction, players were incentivized to reduce Ability Range if they wanted to keep as many Null Star particles as possible. With the ability to recast to maximize your Damage Reduction, DR-minded players have more build diversity available to them.
• Increased base particle count from 6 to 12.
  • 18 particles are still needed to maintain 90% Damage Reduction, but it’s now much easier for players to hit that cap.
  • With the increased particle count, the VFX will become more subtle the more particles you have. These particles will also dissolve while aiming down sights to prevent them from obstructing player view.
• Damage Resistance from Null Star now applies to both Shields and Health (previously only applied to Health).
• Changed damage type from Slash to Blast damage, with a guaranteed Blast Proc. Base Null Star damage has also been increased from 150 to 300.
• With the above improvements, Null Star when applied via Helminth is now altered and has its Damage Reduction capped at 75%.
  • This was previously 90% – we’ve reduced it in light of the changes above and to have it fall in line with the diminished effectiveness of Mirage’s Solar Eclipse Damage Reduction.
• Neutron Star (Augment) Changes:

• Recasting will cause remaining particles to seek out enemies, and then replenish the particles orbiting Nova.
• Heat Damage and guaranteed Heat Proc now apply to all Null Star particles, not just the ones sent out via recast.

Antimatter Drop Changes:

• Tapping the ability input while an Antimatter Drop orb is active will massively increase its speed, causing it to zoom in the direction of the player reticle.
  • As a result, only one Antimatter Drop orb can be cast at a time.
  • Antimatter Drop has historically been difficult to control, with its speed only increasing once the orb is “fully charged”. This change gives players the ability to shoot at the slow-moving orb to maximize damage output, and then catapult it towards unsuspecting enemies at their whim.
• Changed damage type from Radiation to Blast, with 100% Status Chance.
• Only 5 shots will be absorbed by Antimatter Drop to reach full charge (excluding multishot).
  • Teleporting an Antimatter Drop orb via a Wormhole will automatically charge the orb halfway.
• Antimatter Drop’s explosion now uses Line of Sight checks.
  • With the above improvements, it is now much easier to use and packs a punch, so to prevent disruptive gameplay we added the checks. What this means is that the detonation damage will check for any part of the enemy that has been drawn on the screen, if any part of them is visible it will pass the LoS check and deal damage to them.
  • In light of this change, we’ve made it so that Antimatter Drop’s explosion range is now affected by Range Mods.
• Removed the delay that would occur before Antimatter exploded when making contact with a surface – it will now immediately detonate on impact!
• Updated the orb’s appearance to better communicate its charging mechanic:
  • The orb now looks like one sphere contained within another. The inner sphere will grow in size as damage is absorbed, until it reaches the cap.
• Improved Antimatter Drop's movement logic so it tries to stay within the player's line of sight, to avoid cases of players "losing" the orb after casting.
• Removed collision on the Antimatter Drop orb so it will no longer be blocked by allies. (RIP Orb Surfing 2024)

Wormhole Changes:

• Removed Wormhole’s duration.
  • Wormhole will now stay up indefinitely unless a) all of its charges have been used or b) it has been replaced by a recast Wormhole when players have created the maximum number of portals.
• Added icons above each Wormhole indicating how many times it can be used before disappearing.
  • Each orb represents one use!
• Holding the ability input will display the exit point of the Wormhole, similar to Kullervo’s Wrathful Advance.

Molecular Prime Changes:

• Added a Tap / Hold functionality: Tap to cast a Slowing effect on enemies. Hold to cast a Speed-Up effect instead.
  • The “Speedva” build has been a long-time staple of Novas everywhere, and is a fantastic example of bug-turned-feature. While we love the quirk that resulted in our beloved Speedva, negative Strength offers little benefit to Nova’s kit beyond this mechanic. After much deliberation, we decided it was best for all Nova players to make this quality of life change: swap between Speed and Slow in-mission as you wish, without worrying about accidentally bringing a Slowva to your Defense Sorties.
  • Slow and Speed effects are both capped at 75% respectively, and scale the same with Strength. (i.e. a max Slow build will also provide max Speed).
• Increased base Slow/Speed effect from 30% to 50%.
• Bonus damage multiplier now applies to Overguard, Health, and Shields.
  • Previously it only applied to enemy Health!
  • This multiplier has also been added to the Ability screen so players can better understand Molecular Prime’s mechanics.
• Speed-Up effect will bypass crowd control immunity (ex: enemies with Overguard).
• Killing Primed enemies has a 20% chance to proc Blast on nearby foes.
• Molecular Fission (Augment) Change: Null Star will apply Molecular Prime to enemies struck by its particles.

Hildryn Changes

Our goal with Hildryn for this mini rework was to bring her Aegis Storm a bit more power, while also tying in some nice-to-haves with her Balefire Charger!

Balefire Charger Changes:

• Reduced the max Shield cost of a Balefire charged shot and increased the maximum charged shot damage that can be inflicted.
  • It now costs 200 from 400 Shield for the Max Charged Shot, and now does 1,500 from 1,000 base Damage.
    • With this, charging the Balefire Charger will be a more worthwhile time investment compared to the dominance of fast-firing the weapon.
• Balefire Charger will now stagger enemies instead of ragdoll them when Hildryn has Overshields.
• Unequipping Balefire Charger will now re-equip your previously selected weapon instead of your Secondary weapon.

Aegis Storm Changes:

• Balefire Charger is now automatically equipped upon activating Aegis Storm instead of needing to activate it.
• Aegis Storm is now much more fluid regarding Ability usage and movement!
  • Hildryn can now use Pillage or any Helminth Ability while Aegis Storm is active!
    • Jade is allowed to use Pillage while using her 4th Ability, so we felt Hildryn deserved to utilize Pillage while she flew around, too!
  • Hildryn can now move around when activating Balefire Charger while in Aegis Storm instead of being locked in place for the duration of the animation.
  • Increased Hildryn’s maximum speed, movement acceleration and hover ascension rate while in Aegis Storm.
• Deactivating Aegis Storm now makes Hildryn invincible for a short period to prevent dying mid-animation.
  • Deactivating Aegis Storm now performs a proper ground slam, similar to Rhino’s “Stomp” or Qorvex’s “Chyrinka Pillar.”
    • Deactivating Aegis Storm now slams all lifted enemies simultaneously, unlike when they dropped with random delays previously.

Wukong Changes

Wukong has developed what we and fellow players have noted is a disruptive playstyle regarding his ability to animation cancel Heavy Attacks with Cloud Walker. This leads to fast spam of max Combo Counter damage, especially on weapons such as the Arca Titron.

When we nerf anything, we follow a set of three points:

• To reduce AFK strategies,
• If the playstyle negatively hinders or disrupts the gameplay of others,
• To minimize a dominant playstyle that players feel they need to play it.

This Wukong combination falls into the disruptive gameplay category of our above philosophy.

Following this, we aim to remove the problem surgically at its core - the animation cancels. As such, we’re only removing the ability to activate Cloud Walker while a Heavy Slam animation is currently being used.

Cloud Walker Change:

• When you Heavy Slam while using Cloud Walker to exit the Ability, you cannot activate Cloud Walker again until the Heavy Slam animation is complete.

Celestial Stomp Augment Change:

• Celestial Stomp no longer stuns crowd control-immune enemies, such as Eximus units, to bring Celestial Stomp in line with similar crowd-controlling abilities.

We recognize that Wukong is a popular choice of Warframe, and our intention is to reduce the disruptiveness without an unfair knock-on effect.

COMPANION REWORK (PHASE 2)

Phase 2 of the Companion Rework is here! Your Companions all cheer!

Our overall goal with this update is to address Quality of Life and Balance problems that have become apparent over the last few years with Companions.

So let’s dive in!

Beast Companions Gain a Moddable Weapon
First up, we've added a separate weapon slot to all your Beast Companions (except for Hounds, who already have one).

A common complaint that we have heard is that there's not enough Mod slots for Beast Companions that don't have a separate weapon, because the same slots are used by Precept Mods, survivability mods, and damaging mods. We absolutely agree that this was a problem!

Here’s what you can expect:

• When you login you will automatically receive a Beast-specific weapon for each of your Beast Companions. This does not take inventory space or cost you any resources.
• Beast weapons gain Affinity and rank up, but they do not contribute towards your overall Mastery.
• Posture Mod slot for Beast melee weapon alters overall behavior, gives extra capacity for modding.

As a result of this change, different Beast Companions now have updated unique weapon stats based on their individual type instead of being identical:

• Kubrows: Previously ALL types of Kubrows: Damage 304, Status 5%, Critical 10%/3x.
  • Chesa Kubrow: Damage 275, Status 15%, Critical 15%/1.5x
  • Huras Kubrow: Damage 350, Status 5%, Critical 20%/3.5x
  • Raksa Kubrow: Damage 250, Status 20%, Critical 7.5%/2.5x
  • Sahasa Kubrow: Damage 300, Status 5%, Critical 10%/3x
  • Sunika Kubrow: Damage 550, Status 7.5%, Critical 7.5%/3.5x
• Predasites: Previously ALL types of Predasites: Damage 304, Status 5%, Critical 10%/3x
  • Medjay Predasite: Damage 350, Status 20%, Critical 10%/3x
  • Pharaoh Predasite: Damage 325, Status 25%, Critical 7.5%/2.5x
  • Vizier Predasite: Damage 300, Status 30%, Critical 5%/2x
• Kavats: Previously ALL types of Kavats: Damage 80, Status 7.5%, Critical 20%/2x
  • Adarza Kavat: Damage 90, Status 5%, Critical 30%/2.5x
  • Smeeta Kavat: Damage 80, Status 7.5%, Critical 20%/2x
  • Vasca Kavat: Damage 110, Status 25%, Critical 15%/2x
• Vulpaphyla: Previously ALL types of Vulpaphyla: Damage 80, Status 7.5%, Critical 20%/2x
  • Crescent Vulphaphyla: Damage 100, Status 17.5%, Critical 22.5%/2x
  • Panzer Vulpaphyla: Damage 90, Status 12.5%, Critical 25%/2x
  • Sly Vulpaphyla: Damage 80, Status 20%, Critical 20%/2x
• Helminth Charger: Previously 350 Damage, now 200 Slash damage plus an additional non-combining 50 Toxin damage. Increased Status Chance from 5% to 25%.
• Hounds: Hound companions already had a moddable weapon, but we rebalanced these from a base of 152 Damage to a base of 300 Damage.

Please note that, while these weapons are now moddable, we did not add them to the Riven system nor do we have current plans to. With so many extreme changes to Companions all at the same time, we want to let the dust settle a bit before evaluating.

AI changes

• Beast Companions would previously follow behind you while moving, which made it harder to notice them around and put them further away from enemies when combat started. They will now try to lead you instead, staying a few meters ahead while you are moving so they are ready to attack when combat starts.
• Beast Companions would previously choose targets in a complete circle around the player. This means that when using their abilities or making attacks, they weren't even on screen so it was hard to appreciate them being useful. This has been tuned so that Beast Companions will prefer to choose targets that are near you and in your field of view.
• When selecting a new target to attack, Beast Companions now gain a speed boost on their way to the target while off-screen (to reduce the time it takes them to engage).
• Improved animations while following the player through bullet jumps and double jumps so that they animate more quickly and fluidly.
• Decreased the required distance from Beast Companions to their owner to trigger a teleport and reduced the minimum time between teleports so they can more easily keep up with you if you’re bullet jumping at mach speed! They will also now disengage from enemies faster if you are moving quickly through the map.
• Improved Beast Companion targeting logic to better match their combat behavior and prevent cases of them “stalling” when trying to decide on their next target. Also tweaked the range at which they’ll attack enemies to ensure they’ll actually hit them!

Note: While Hounds are not technically Beast Companions, they will also benefit from the AI changes listed above!

Changes to Companion Precepts

Many Companion Precept effects are currently too small or too brief to be really beneficial. We want your choice of companion to feel more meaningful and for your Companion to contribute in a more visible way, so there are a whole lot of buffs to get through.

There is one notable precept that will need some special explanation. Out of respect for our readers, let's get that out of the way first:

• Charm (SMEETA Kavat)*: The resource pickup multiplier has been removed from Charm and promoted to being its own separate precept Mod (Loyal Retriever), equippable on all Beasts. Charm's chance to provide a buff on activation has been increased to 40%. The available buffs are:
  • 25% chance of Reinforced Shield
  • 25% chance of Instant Reload (re-rolled if your current weapon doesn't need to reload)
  • 10% chance of Bonus Critical Chance buff
  • 20% chance of Free Ability Casts
  • 10% chance of Bonus Affinity. (Affinity bonus has been increased to 3x)
  • 10% chance to receive a Rare resource of the current mission location
• Loyal Retriever (Beast companions): Provides a passive 13% chance that each resource or credit pickup will be doubled. This effect is always active: there is no cooldown, no duration, no waiting for it to be ready.
  • If you already own a Smeeta then you will receive Loyal Retriever for free automatically. In the future, this will be purchased with conservation tags from the Earth conservation vendor.
  • We chose 13% as being the statistical average of what amount of time Charm's resource bonus would be active.
  • Loyal Retriever and its variants are NOT compatible with Khora's Venari. While we definitely understand the comments asking for this, it wouldn't be in line with our goals to diversify the meta and steer away from a single "must have" looting loadout. If we were to allow this, Khora would essentially step into Smeeta's previous domination due to her unique ability to have two pets each with their own Retriever Mod.

*We know Smeeta is very popular so it's important we explain why this change is happening. There are two reasons:

1. In a game with so much variety, we never want a specific choice of equipment to dominate our community. For some players, collecting loot is the most important part of any mission so anything that contributes to giving you MORE loot is so important that no alternatives can compete. Our intent is that opening the resource boosting part of Charm to all Beasts will increase your freedom in Companion selection.
2. Charm’s randomness encouraged players to “wait for buff” in a way that was counter to Warframe’s speed and fluidity. It was advantageous to allow resources to pile up in the level, deliberately NOT picking them up until Charm gives the resource buff, which could take minutes. The resource buff could even stack, creating random chances on top of random chances, slowing down the game even more. In our fast-paced game about space ninjas, we want to reward players who are mobile and actively engaging with enemies, so we have reengineered the effect to be always active.

There are many other Precepts to get through but none that need so much explanation. On with the list!

• Acidic Spittle (VIZIER Predasite):
  • Increased the projectile speed and accuracy, and always applies Corrosion status to its target now. The projectile will now home-in on its target slightly to ensure it hits more reliably.
  • Fixed Acidic Spittle projectile having collision with Allies and their Companions. Now, your Predasite’s vomit will sail through them safely to blind your foes!
  • Also fixed blinded VFX not appearing on affected targets.
• Anabolic Pollination (PHARAOH Predasite):
  • Increased the lifetime of the spore clouds from 6 seconds to 10 seconds, and increased the duration of the damage buff from 10 seconds to 15 seconds.
  • This Precept’s description has also been updated to include the damage buff’s duration.
• Anti-Grav Grenade (MOAs):
  • Effect radius doubled from 3M to 6M, effect duration doubled from 3 seconds to 6 seconds.
  • Fixed the math which was not giving the correct damage bonus based on the mod's rank, nor was it considering damage against shields
• Coolant Leak (Robotic Companions):
  • Formerly slowed enemies down by 10% when they were within 3 meters as a constant aura.
  • Now hits enemies within 10 meters with 40 damage and 3 stacks of Cold status, with a 10 second cooldown.
  • Changed from cost of 4 Mod points and no ranks, to having a base of 2 Mod points and 3 ranks.
• Crescent Charge (CRESCENT Vulpaphyla):
  • Lifts target into the air, and throws that target at another nearby enemy doing damage of 20% of its Max Health plus the Vulpaphyla's weapon damage in a 5 meter radius.
  • Removed the Vulnerability effect since it becomes much harder to capitalize on when the enemy is getting thrown around, and replaced with 5 stacks of Puncture status on affected enemies.
• Detect Vulnerability (HELIOS Sentinel):
  • If the marked target dies, chooses a new target 2 seconds later
• Dig (SAHASA Kubrow):
  • Your Kubrow can now dig up Heavy Weapon ammo packs if you need them.
• Draining Bite (VASCA Kavat):
  • Inflicts 5 stacks of Slash stats on the victims, based on 150% of your Vasca's weapon damage.
• Endoparasitic Vector (PHARAOH Predasite):
  • Projectile now homes in on its target and creates visible tentacles attaching to the held victims.
  • Can now attach to enemies that enter the radius after the projectile connects.
  • Tentacle grab range doubled from 5m to 10m.
  • Fixed the precept being able to apply Slow to VIP enemies that should be immune to Slow, fixed being able to Slow allies if they were in range, fixed the damage type being incorrect, fixed the precept failing to attach to targets sometimes.
• Ferocity (SAHASA Kubrow):
  • Greatly reduced cooldown, but now can only target enemies open to finishers.
  • If the enemy gets killed by the finisher, they’ll explode. Nearby enemies have a 30% of being knocked down and opened to finishers for 5s.
• Ghost (SHADE Sentinel):
  • When you move out of range of enemies, there is now a 3 seconds grace period before the invisibility effect ends.
  • If you move back within range of enemies, invisibility will be sustained.
• Iatric Mycellium (VIZIER Predasite):
  • Doubled the size of the spore trail so it's easier to collect the healing buff.
• Infectious Bite (MEDJAY Predasite):
  • Spores now explode immediately if they absorb more damage than the victim has Health, and inflict a portion of the absorbed damage in a 3 meter radius (100% at max rank).
• Looter (CARRIER Sentinel):
  • Maximum range increased from 12 meters to 22 meters, and the description updated to clarify that it functions as a wave rather than the sentinel shooting each crate individually.
• Hunt (HURAS Kubrow):
  • Now drags enemies within 2 meters of its charge and staggers within 3 meters, and uses the pet's weapon damage.
• Mischief (SMEETA Kavat):
  • In addition to its previous effects, Mischief's decoy now Blinds enemies within 8 meters when the decoy is destroyed.
• Negate (WYRM Sentinel):
  • Allowed Manifold Bond's cooldown reduction to apply to Negate's cooldown timer
• Neutralize (CHESA Kubrow):
  • Instead of disarming a single enemy, it now disarms and staggers in a 10m radius.
• Paralytic Spores (MEDJAY Predasite):
  • The initial damage now scales off the pet's equipped weapon.
  • In addition to staggering enemies, now applies 5 seconds of 50% slow, and enemies are open to melee finishers.
• Reflex Denial (Hounds):
  • The absorb bubble will now ignore projectiles and attacks of the Hound's own faction.
    • Known issue: This is currently only working for Host, we are investigating for a fix.
• Retrieve (CHESA Kubrow):
  • Tightened up the timings while looking for targets so the Kubrow will choose a new body quicker if its first choice is invalid.
• Savagery (SUNIKA Kubrow):
  • Previously: would enable Kubrow to make a high damage Finisher on a single enemy
  • Now: Kubrow will rapidly teleport between up to 8 enemies in a 10m radius, doing damage and briefly immobilizing them. All victims are knocked down at the end of Savagery.
• Scan Matter (OXYLUS Sentinel):
  • The duration and cooldown time for showing resources containers and mining locations has been removed, the effect is continuous now.
  • Additionally it now breaks open one container within 60 meters every 3 seconds and automatically collects the contents.
• Sense Danger (Kavats):
  • Title changed to "Sense Weakness" because the Kavat is now the danger.
  • Kavat gains 200% bonus damage against highlighted enemies and Kavat attacks have a 30% chance to knock highlighted enemies down.
• Shockwave Actuators (MOAs):
  • Reduced cooldown times to 25/20/15/10 seconds based on rank.
• Spare Parts (Robotic Companions):
  • Now compatible with all Robotic companion types (Sentinels, Hounds, and MOAs).
  • Marks enemy for extra loot drops for 15 seconds, up from 5 seconds.
  • Will try to choose an enemy that you can see on-screen instead of totally at random.
• Survival Instinct (SLY Vulpaphyla): This precept has been completely reworked.
  • Formerly reduced enemy accuracy against your Warframe until your next attack.
  • Now, when you bullet jump it creates a decoy which draws enemy fire for 1.5 seconds. 5 second cooldown time after creating a decoy.
• Stalk (HURAS Kubrow):
  • When you move out of range of enemies, there is now a 3 seconds grace period before the invisibility effect ends.
  • If you move back within range of enemies, invisibility will be sustained.
• Stasis Field (MOAs):
  • Increased the radius of the Stasis from 5 meters to 10 meters, and made the visual effect more obvious.
  • Now also works on reducing the damage of hitscan weapons that hit you inside the bubble instead of only projectiles.
• Territorial Aggression (Kavats):
  • Changed the effect from "pacifying wild creatures", to causing damage.
  • Your Kavat creates a 6 meter circle that lasts 15 seconds: enemies inside the circle have a 30% chance each second to be hit by a ghostly Kavat that does the same damage as your real Kavat.
• Trample (HELMINTH Charger):
  • Leaves a trail of Virulence behind when charging that applies damage to enemies that touch the spikes.
  • Trample knocks down and applies Toxin to any enemies struck.
  • Helminth Charger also gains bonuses to health, armor, and damage for each enemy struck while charging. Damage now properly scales with the effect of the Strain Fever Mod.
• Unleashed (SUNIKA Kubrow):
  • Instead of targeting "VIP" enemies, a category which is somewhat poorly defined and doesn't come up very often, this will now target Eximus units, doing 300% damage against Overguard.
• Volatile Parasite (Predasites):
  • In addition to its built in damage, Volatile Parasite now explodes for 100% of the damage absorbed while it is attached to the victim, with an additional 1.4x multiplier if the victim dies before the Volatile Parasite expires.
• Vacuum (Robotic Companions):
  • Increased range from 11.5m to 13.5m to match Fetch.
• Whiplash Mine (MOAs):
  • Increased the speed of the projectile in flight, and made the MOA more intelligently choose its target to maximize the number of enemies in the tether radius.

New & Updated Companion Mods
Now that Companions have moddable weapons, they will need Mods to install in them. Some of the existing Beast Mods have been changed, and we have introduced a few new Mods to acquire.

• Beast melee Postures! Have you ever wished to have a little more control over specifically how your pet chooses to engage with enemies? Then check out these new melee Posture Mods that shape the behavior of your Beasts:
  • Balanced Posture: This Posture causes your Beast companion to stagger nearby enemies while it is moving.
    • Every new Kubrow owner will gain this Mod by default on completing the quest "Howl of the Kubrow". If you've already completed this quest, we will add it to your account automatically. It is also available from Master Teasonai’s “Trade Tags” menu in Cetus, Earth in the case where players may accidentally sell the one they receive from the Quest.
  • Protector Posture: Your pet will prioritize attacking enemies that are within 15 meters of your warframe. Also applies 4 stacks of Puncture on hit.
    • Can be acquired with Conservation tags from The Business’ “Trade Tags” menu in Fortuna, Venus.
  • Elusive Posture: Your pet will not attack enemies unless they strike it with a melee weapon first. Useful if you value your pet's supporting features rather than its claws and teeth. Also applies 4 stacks of Puncture on hit.
    • Can be acquired with Conservation tags from Master Teasonai’s “Trade Tags” menu in Cetus, Earth.
  • Persistent Posture: Your pet will prefer to keep attacking one target until it's down. Also increases the pet's damage.

• New Damage Conversion Mods! Equipping these powerful upgrades on their Claws will give your Beast type companion a large bonus of a specific damage type, as well as converting other physical or elemental (depending on the Mod) damage on the weapon into that type. For example if you equip Frost Jaw and Venom Teeth then normally this would combine into Viral damage, but if you also equip Incendiary Inclination then it will all elemental damage be converted to Heat damage instead.

  • Also fixed the Mod description listing the buff as +30%, when it actually was +40%.

Rebalance of Sentinel weapons

The Origin system never stops developing the most exotic and destructive weapons known to Tenno-kind, and the weapons mounted to our Sentinels are no exception.

NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE CHANGES

New Player Quest Changes:

• When selecting your Starter Warframe in the Awakening Quest, stats will no longer be displayed in on-hover Ability descriptions. These stats have been moved to a separate tab in this on-hover pop-up.
  • This change is part of an ongoing effort to elevate information that is critical for new players, while also reducing extraneous details that could lead to information overload.
• Added Objective Text to the Awakening Quest.
  • Previously, players were guided by on-screen tutorial prompts and waypoints. The new Objective Text is another resource to help guide them through the tutorial.
• Added a waypoint to direct players to escaping the Grineer after picking a Secondary Weapon in the Awakening Quest

• Reduced the hacking puzzle speed in Awakening and Vor’s Prize.
  • Since players are learning how to use Grineer Hacking consoles for the first time, this change allows them to get used to the mechanic without it feeling too punishing or overwhelming.
• Changed the controller binding callout instructing how to cast an ability from “Press [binding] and press [binding]” to “Hold [binding] and press [binding]” in the Awakening Quest.
  • Indicating “Press” to bring up the ability menu could lead new players in thinking that they must tap both at the same time. So we’ve clarified this further to avoid confusion!
• Incubating your first Kubrow in Howl of the Kubrow will now only take 60 seconds instead of the original 48 hours.
  • Many Quest crafting requirements were reduced across the board with Dante Unbound earlier this year. Now Howl of the Kubrow also meets this standard!
• Players who enter the Plains of Eidolon with Saya’s Vigil as their Active Quest before speaking to Saya or Konzu will now see a waypoint directing them to re-enter Cetus.

General New Player Experience Changes:

• Updated the Codex’s Quest screen to better distinguish between Main Story Quests, Warframe Quests and Side Quests.
  • They are now organized by the aforementioned categories and will better communicate which Quests are next up to complete!
    
    
• Unowned Mods viewed in the Codex will now show their full descriptions and drop locations.
• Selling an unmastered item from your Inventory will now display a pop-up message recommending them to rank it up to Level 30 (or Level 40 for overleveled equipment like the Paracesis) before attempting to sell it.
  • 
• Unlocking an Ability will now show the Input needed to cast it in the “Ability Unlocked” pop-up!
  • 
• If a piece of equipment in a player’s loadout has 10+ unused Mod capacity and an unused Mod slot, a warning symbol will appear next to it in the Loadout section of the Navigation screen. This only applies to weapons with 10-30 unused Mod Capacity (or 10-40 for Lich/Sister weapons), and will not appear if you are Mastery Rank 6 or higher.
  
  
  • The goal of this change is to encourage new players to Mod their equipment, and learn about Mod capacity as they continue to level up their equipment.
• Open Landscape Maps now feature a Legend for the Advanced Map view and new icons for the Extraction Points (ie. Cetus, Fortuna, and Necralisk).
  • Open Landscapes operate differently from normal Warframe missions, which can be hard for new players to grasp at first. Saya’s Vigil has received changes to reinforce the “Enter and Exit through the Cetus Doors” mechanic, and this addition expands upon that goal.
  • Duviri’s Advanced Map has also been given a Legend!

• Fish resource descriptions have been updated to indicate where players can find the Fish that the resource is earned from.
  • Bait, Spear, and other fishing-related Gear have also had their descriptions updated to offer more clarity to the Fishing system.
• Added the Health and Energy Orb icons next to the “Health/Energy Full” notification in the HUD when walking over Orbs to better communicate to new players why they aren’t being picked up.
• Added a pulsing particle effect to incomplete Junctions that are next up to complete to make them more visible to new players.
• The 10 x Air Support Charges Blueprint in the Foundry will now only appear on new accounts after they have installed the Landing Craft Foundry Segment.
  • It was confusing to new players that they could visually see it available in the Foundry, but be unable to craft any until they had installed that Segment.
• Updated the Junction UI to more clearly indicate what tasks are complete and incomplete, and gave it an overall refresh!

CROSS PLATFORM PLAY/SAVE CHANGES

Cross Platform Trading/Gifting Changes

You can now trade and gift with players regardless of their Cross Platform Save status!

Previously, you could only trade with players who had matching Cross Platform Save account statuses. In other words, someone with a Cross Platform Save account (PC accounts and/or Console accounts that were Linked or Merged) would only be able to trade with others who also had Cross Platform Save accounts. Now, you can trade with and gift anyone (including both sender and recipient) regardless of their engagement with the Cross Platform Save system.

Since this system’s rollout at the end of 2023, players have consistently voiced confusion and frustration at this “hidden” trading restriction. Without knowing whether your Trading partner matched your Cross Platform Save status, a 2 minute jaunt to the Dojo to trade your Prime sets could end up a lot more complicated than previously anticipated.

Now, with Koumei & the Five Fates, players should be able to trade so long as the following requirements are met:

• Be Mastery Rank 2 or higher
• Have TennoGuard 2FA enabled (PC and Cross Platform Save players only)
• Have Cross Platform Play enabled (only if you want to do trades with Tenno on a different platform)

NOTE: Existing restrictions for Cross Platform trading of in-game premium currency to/from some platforms remain (more details in our FAQ).

General Cross Platform Changes & Fixes:

• Fixed a Cross Platform Save issue where starting gear acquired in the Awakening Quest would not be correctly awarded after linking/merging accounts with another platform.
• Fixed cases of Excalibur Prime on a Linked Cross Platform Save account not having Exalted Prime Blade.
  • Founders who Linked a Console account and chose the Console as their Primary Account retained access to their Excalibur Prime with launch. Exalted Prime Blade was not included in this special case. Those who were missing this Exalted weapon should now see it in their accounts after downloading Koumei & the Five Fates.

STEAM ACCOUNT BINDING & AUTO-LOGIN

We’ve improved the login experience for users that launch Warframe from Steam with the introduction of Account Binding and Auto-Login!

Before diving in, it's important to note that Account Binding your Warframe and Steam account is OPTIONAL. You can still sign into Warframe from the Steam launch without having to bind your accounts.

Account Binding

Account Binding allows a Warframe account to bind to a Steam account, so that upon launching Warframe from Steam you do not need to input your credentials to log in. Instead, clicking the “Login With Steam” button will log you right into the game and bypass this step!

What to Expect:

The next time you launch Warframe from Steam and click the “Login With Steam” button you will be prompted to bind your Steam account to either:

1. An existing Warframe account OR

2. A new Warframe Account that’ll be automatically bound to the Steam account you are signed into

Binding Existing Warframe Account:

1. Select the “Bind Existing” option to bind an existing Warframe account to the Steam account you are currently logged into.

2. Fill the email and password fields with the credentials associated with the Warframe account you want to bind to the Steam account you are currently logged into and hit “Confirm”.

• NOTE: Please check to make sure that you are linking the correct accounts (both your Warframe AND Steam account), as the link cannot be undone.
• TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication is required to bind a Warframe account to protect against fraud and prevent someone from binding your Warframe account to the wrong Steam account.
  • If you have TennoGuard enabled on the Warframe account you are attempting to bind, upon hitting “Confirm” you will be prompted to enter a code that was sent to your email. Once entered, you have completed the account binding process!
  • If you have not enabled TennoGuard on the Warframe account you are attempting to bind, learn how to in our TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication FAQ.

• Warframe accounts bound to Steam still adhere to the Cross Platform Save restrictions (more details in our FAQ).
• This new Account Binding system replaces the Steam Economy binding and operates the same way – meaning, in order to purchase TennoGen from the Steam Store (specifically from the website, in-game Market not impacted), you must bind a Warframe account to a Steam account.
  • If you have bound a Warframe account to Steam Economy before Koumei & the Five Fates launches, you may encounter the following scenarios depending on the Warframe and Steam accounts you attempt to bind through the new Account Binding system launching the the update (expand spoilers):

Spoiler

Creating and Binding New Warframe Account:

• Select the “Create New” option to create a new Warframe account that will be bound to the Steam account you are currently logged into.
• You will be required to read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use and pick a display name.
  • NOTE: Creating a new Warframe account via the Steam launcher will automatically bind it to the Steam account you are currently logged into. Please check to make sure you are linking the correct Steam account to the new Warframe account, as the link cannot be undone.

NOTE: It’s important to keep in mind that Account Binding allows anyone to enter your Warframe account by clicking the “Login with Steam” button without having to input your credentials. We recommend that you log out of your Steam account while not in use to ensure account security – more information on how to protect your account in our “Best Practices for Account Security” support article.

How Steam Wallet Purchases Work:

For the purposes of account security and to ensure legitimate purchases are made from Steam-Warframe bound accounts, once you bind a Steam account to a Warframe account, that Steam account becomes the one account that can make Steam Wallet purchases for the bound Warframe account.

In other words, once you have bound a Steam account A to a Warframe account A, you must be signed into Steam account A to make Steam Wallet purchases for Warframe account A.

This applies differently depending on the following scenarios in which Steam Account A is bound to Warframe Account A (expand spoilers):

Spoiler

Auto Login

Once you have bound a Warframe and Steam account, you will be able to use the new Auto Login feature, which automatically signs you in and loads you into the game immediately after launching Warframe from Steam.

How to Set Up:

It’s as easy as clicking the “Auto Login” checkbox below the “Login With Steam” button!

It can also be enabled/disabled using the “Steam Auto Login” toggle in the Social tab Options:

How to disable Auto Login:

1. Log out from the Esc menu by going to Profile > Log Out
2. Go to your Options > Social > Steam Auto Login and toggle off

UI QOL Changes

Arsenal Reskin

We decided to apply a bit of polish to the Arsenal menu! The Arsenal has gone through an overhaul to look more sleek and stylish, following the UI theme you have selected.

We’ve also made significant improvements to the Arsenal grid sizing to support additional columns and rows depending on your aspect ratio. This creates a far less cramped feel.

• If you play on displays wider or taller than 16:9, we now use the extra screen space to show additional columns and rows respectively.

NEW “Add to Favorites” Arsenal Feature

A long requested feature from the Warframe Community, Tenno can now favorite equipment in their Arsenal!

When browsing equipment in your Arsenal, you now have the option to “Favorite” Warframes, Weapons, Cosmetics, and more. Favorited Equipment and Cosmetics appear at the top of the list when equipping items in your Arsenal, ensuring you always know right where to find them.

Never lose track of that one Revenant Prime that you love more than the others ever again!

Owned/Crafted Status Added to Void Relics

Void Relics now display owned and crafted status of their possible rewards!

Players can now easily see crafted/owned status of items from their Relics when viewed in the Void Relic selection screen and on-hover as mission rewards.

Our hope was to apply this to the Relic Reward selection screen, but it didn't quite work as planned. We're going back to the drawing board on this one, since we know it is a commonly requested feature.

Fusion Screen Changes

The Fusion screen has received a refresh to simplify UI elements and bring the fused Mod to the forefront.

Players can now also Fuse any non-max rank Mods via the Upgrade Screen. Doing so brings up the same Fusion menu to streamline any changes you make to your builds.

General UI Changes:

• Added the option to sort your Mods in the Upgrade screen by Rarity.
• Added number of burst shots to the “Burst” Trigger stat - for example: “BURST (x2)”.
• Added Suggested Damage icons to Sortie and Archon Hunt missions.
• The Forma and Focus Lens Installation screens now display how many Blueprints you own for each Forma and Lens type.
• Settings that are not set to Default are now marked with a diamond indicator in the Settings menu. If you want to reset that particular setting to Default, you can interact with that indicator to do so!
  • 
• The “Reset to Defaults” option in the Settings menu will now only apply defaults to the current Settings tab.
• Added a dark backer to Ascendant and All Star Dojo icons to help them stand out better in the Navigation screen.
• Removed the “Resource Drones” button in the bottom right corner of the Star Chart when zoomed out of a planet since it didn’t do anything.
  • The button will only appear now when zoomed into a planet - where it can actively be used to manage Drones on that planet.
• The special pickup pop up in the bottom left will now only show the rarest Railjack rewards instead of all.
• Made the following changes to the settings layout when using controller:
  • Flipped the order of the Keyboard/Mouse and Controller tabs so that controller users open the Controller Settings by default.
  • Flipped the order of the Accessibility Keyboard/Mouse and Controller settings so that the Controller options appear above the Keyboard/Mouse options.
  • Fixed the tabs being offset.
• When a Shield Gate is triggered, your Health Bar will now turn gray to indicate you are invulnerable while the Shield Gate is active.
• Purchasing Arcanes from a Vendor now displays how many Arcanes you own per rank.
  • 
  • Also added the rank UI element to Arcanes in the Vendor wares to more clearly indicate that they are unranked.
• Updated the “Favorite” icon in the Friends and Loadout menus to match the new one in the Arsenal.
• Greatly increased visibility on the nearest hackable panel waypoint on the minimap whenever a tileset enters lockdown.
• Smoothed various UI animations and removed cases of jagged edges in UI graphics across the game.
• Updated the VFX in the login screen when hovering over Daily Tribute options.
• Added Warframe description to the right of the screen when hovering over the Warframe tab in the Arsenal.
• Removed “Open Squads” counter beside mission nodes. This has been a long-standing feature since 2012, so let’s dive into how this system worked and our reasons for removing it:
  • This feature was long misunderstood because there are often cases where it implied you would join a squad but actually ended up as the host. Because there are a mind-boggling number of Tenno in the Origin System at any given moment, the Open Squad counts are relatively expensive to calculate; to reduce server strain we would cache the results to avoid overloading them, but this meant that when you hovered over a node there's a good chance you were looking at an Open Squad count that was up to a minute out of date. By the time you tried to join the squad the last spot might have been filled by someone else or the mission objective might have been completed, preventing you from joining.
    
    The other factor that confused a lot of people was your Matchmaking Ping Limit setting. Even though we try to find squads close to you, sometimes the host is running on a low-spec machine while their roommate uploads rodeo videos over a modest DSL connection. To try to ensure you have a good multiplayer experience we check the ping before joining a squad and if it's over your configured limit we'll skip over it. In the end it was decided that, rather than distract players with details about what was happening when they just wanted to shoot some Grineer in the face, we would remove this stat (the server hamsters appreciated this too). RIP "Open Squads" 2012-2024
• Updated Login Reward claimed item VFX.
• The Virtual Cursor for controllers will now respect its original position when opening the Navigation menu. Previously, it would always appear in the lower-right quadrant of the screen.
• Moved Dojo Room Construction context action position to not obscure the progress UI.
• Added an on-hover tip for the Status Damage stat to explain its mechanics (notably on Elementalist Mods).
• Added a “Prev” button to the Codex’s Training modules so that players can easily skip back a slide instead of having to complete the module and then reopen to revisit a specific slide.
• “Last Equipped” Relics in the Relic Selection screen of endless Void Fissure missions will now show all owned Relics of that type, regardless of Refinement. Previously, this tag would only show Relics that were the same Refinement as the one you just cracked.
• Added Operator/Drifters to the Loadout selection menu in the Navigation Screen.
  • Now you can swap your Focus School, Amps, and Arcanes straight from this menu without needing to go to your Transference Chair.

• Damage stat tool tips will no longer show unknown Factions as “???” if the player has yet to encounter them.
  • For example, if you haven’t yet unlocked Albrecht’s Laboratories instead of the Murmur Faction appearing as “???” in the tool tip, it will now just not appear.

ADDITIONS

• Added several new face, hair, and helmet/mask variants to the Sisters of Parvos procedural character generation system.
  
  • These have been added into the Sisters of Parvos’ characteristics pool and have a chance to be generated at random (equal with the current characteristics).
  • We’ve also improved the randomization system specifically when selecting shoulder armor to prevent clipping issues with the Sister.
• Added a 200 x Vosfor pack in the Rank 5 Faction Syndicate Offerings (ex: Cephalon Suda, etc.).
  • These will appear after completing the Whispers in the Walls Quest.
• Added two new Somachord tracks featured in the Jade Shadows update. The following Jade Shadows Tones can be found in the Ascension mission tileset:
  • Angels Requiem
  • Final Ascent
• Added the “Color Pack: Prime” bundle to Varzia’s Wares!
  • Purchase this bundle for 1 Regal Aya to receive the Prime Finish and Prime Lacquer Color Palettes, featuring colors from the first 36 Prime Warframes.

CHANGES

• Lowered the default Y Offset position for the Ember Heirloom Signa and the Maginav Prime Signa.
  • We received a lot of Community feedback that these Signas were still sitting rather high when the Y Offset slider is set to 1. So we’ve adjusted it further to give you more freedom towards your desired Signa look! Note that some Warframe helmets may clip with these Signas at their new lower height, which can easily be adjusted using the slider if desired.
    
  • 
• We’ve made further changes to the GI Lighting in the Orbiter (which you can also see in the screenshots above!) – colors are now more accurately represented in this space and better match how you see them in other GI Lighting areas (ie. in-mission).
  • What this means is that when you are viewing your Warframes in the Orbiter, the colors you had selected will now appear as you see/experience them in other GI Lighting environments (Albrecht’s Laboratories for example). In other words, you will now see the most accurate color you can receive in a tint.
  • This may require you to tweak your color palettes a tad to get it to your preferred look. We’ll be watching for your feedback and/or bug reports!
• Alchemy Circuit missions will now spawn Amphors more frequently.
• Increased the Crucible’s collision radius to better register when an Amphor has been thrown at it in Alchemy missions. Less air balls!
• Enabled Auto-Melee Aerial attacks for Glaive-like weapons that don’t have an Aerial throw, or don’t charge their Aerial throw moves, such as the Wolf Sledge or Sigma & Octantis.
  • Also fixed an issue where holding the regular Melee attack input with a throw attack, such as the Wolf Sledge, could cause your next Heavy Melee input to execute a regular Melee attack instead.
• Made the following changes to the start of Infested Salvage missions to help explain its mechanics better:
  • Upon loading in, only the A Vaporizer is marked to avoid overwhelming players with various UI elements. The other Vaporizers will be marked once Decryption has begun.
  • Removed enemy spawns until Decryption has begun.
  • Three Antiserum Charges are automatically spawned upon arrival to the gameplay area, so players can suss out how they work with their Vaporizer before the Infested start swarming them.
• The following abilities now apply their Damage Vulnerability against enemy Shields and Overguard (previously they only applied to enemy Health):
  • Xaku’s Vast Untime
  • Mag’s Magnetize
  • Titania’s Beguiling Lantern Augment
  • Bonewidow’s Firing Line
  • Gara’s Mass Vitrify
  • Gara’s Splinter Storm
  • Nezha’s Blazing Chakram
  • Nova’s Molecular Prime
• The Tennokai window timer is now paused while the Glaive is flying in mid-air. Previously it could expire mid-throw, when players had little power to actually make use of this window.
• The Conquera Syandana, Conquera Ribbon, Conquera Leg Ribbon, Conquer Shoulder Ribbon and the Conquera Sigil are now all color customizable!
  • Learn more about the Quest to Conquer Cancer this October at warframe.com/qtcc
• Adjusted Plasma Torch and Exergis damage output in the Sneaky Sabotage Break Narmer mission to match their effectiveness pre-Jade Shadows.
  • This fight was unintentionally made more difficult as a result of the Resistances and Status rework that launched with Jade Shadows. Now Kahl’s weapons should be balanced appropriately once more.
• Made several improvements to the NPC pathing and actions (jumps, steps, cover actions, etc.) in the Zariman, Grineer Fortress, Grineer Galleon, Grineer Shipyard, Corpus Ship and Corpus Outpost tilesets.
• Improved Cantare’s projectile so that it looks better returning to the player's hands.
• Improved lighting in certain Grineer Sealab Defense tiles.
• Ragdolled enemies now make a falling sound when they hit the ground.
• Made enhancements to GI lighting throughout Albrecht’s Laboratories:
  • Improved probe filtering so that light is sharper and less leaky.
  • Changed probe values to be more accurate for directionality.
  • Changed the reflection probes to use the same lighting information as GI probes to calculate intensity - this means the reflections pop more when they should and glow less.
  • Improved the skin shader to have more contrast and depth under GI Lighting.
• Made the following improvements to Drifter Camp GI Lighting:
  • Improved glass and water reflections in the Helminth Room.
  • Improved the material response of reflections in the Camp area. The end result is better-looking reflections that "pop" more!
  • Ensured essential areas remained lit with Dynamic Lighting disabled.
• Updated the Fulmin and Fulmin Prime’s passive to indicate their forced Impact Status Effect on Semi mode at close range.
  • Now reads: “Alternate Fire switches between Semi and Auto firing modes. Semi mode deals an Impact Status Effect to enemies at close range. Switch speed is doubled when wielded by Wisp.”
• Jade’s Light’s Judgement now can heal Defense targets!
  • Defense targets will be healed 75 Health per second when within range of Light Judgement.
• Moved the Conclave Console in the Orbiter from the front of the ship to down the ramp and to the left of your Arsenal to make room for the upcoming 1999 Demo Console coming October 16th!
  • Note: We have changed the Conclave Console so that it is a movable decoration. We want players to be able to change its location if the one we’ve set for this update is not desirable (notably for our Tenno who already have many decorations placed there!).
    • Here’s what to expect when the update launches:
      • The Conclave Console will move to the aforementioned spot.
      • If you wish to move it, open the pause menu > Equipment > Orbiter > Decorate
      • Hover over the Conclave Console and use the “Move Decoration” binding to grab a hold of it.
      • Move it to wherever you desire using the Decoration tools and use the “Confirm” binding to place it.
      • You can move it around as many times as you desire.
  • New players who started the tutorial after this change will now receive the Conclave Console in their inventory after completing Awakening. While it will not be automatically placed in their Orbiter, they will still have the ability to place this console should they wish to make Teshin proud. CORRECTION: We actually fixed this shortly before the update released! If you do not see the Conclave Console in your Orbiter on a new account, simply restart the game and it should appear in the location mentioned above.
• Removed Grand Finale from the Arsenal as a purchase option when equipping items to the Gear Wheel.
  • Now, unless you already own Grande Finale, it will not appear. This is to prevent new players from accidentally spending their Platinum on a flavor item.
  • Note: Grand Finale fans can still purchase this item in the Market!
• Reduced the audio gain on Epitaph Prime’s projectile and explosion.
• Changed the “Konzu” fast travel option in Cetus to “Konzu & Saya” after completing Saya’s Vigil Quest.
• Made some improvements to hair reflections - they will now look more realistic in areas where GI lighting is present.
• Updated Trinity’s base skin to PBR.
• Updated Vauban’s Phased skin to PBR.
• Adjusted how Sigils sit on Protea Prime’s shoulders with the equipped Kollapsar, Default, Technochron and Voidshell skins.
• Previously-scanned Somachord Tones will now appear desaturated to indicate such (similar to Codex and Frame Fighter Fragments).
• Changed the description of the Swordsman’s Celerity Incarnon Perk for the Anku and Bo.
  • Removed the “With Melee Equipped:” portion as this condition did not work and was always applying the Movement Speed bonus regardless of whether or not Melee was equipped. So now it reads “+30% Movement Speed”.
• Updated the Dera’s projectile and muzzle flash.
• Removed Corrupted Wardens from the Orokin Battlegroup and replaced them with more of the other units (Corrupted Wardens aren't very representative for this Battlegroup since they're in only Rescue missions.)
• Harmony now has a damage cap in relation to how the weapon calculates Head Shots. After testing this change, Harmony can still achieve large damage with various formulas.
• Updated the “Greater Than The Sum” Challenge description to specify that you use Endo to fuse Mods.
  • Now reads: “Fuse mods with Endo to create a more powerful mod.”

Thanks, Tenno!

Howdy, Tenno!

The reign of the twin-kingdom Hybrid is upon us. His coronation, drowned in Tau, will cause any foe to reconsider regicide. This is Caliban’s rework, releasing alongside Koumei & the Five Fates.

Our intentions with Caliban’s rework are to match his power to other Warframes but emphasize his unique Sentient identity and what that power fantasy would feel like to play. To do this, we’re re-working his Ability damage and the utility of his Abilities while emphasizing the adaptability and synergy of a Sentient-Warframe’s kit. When Caliban enters the field, there’s no defense Caliban can’t adapt to.

Plus, when you login between October 2nd and October 16th (specific times coming later), you can earn Caliban and a slot for FREE via an inbox message. Players can also look for an "Arsenal Retuning" inbox message containing 5 Forma with the Launch of Koumei & the Five Fates to help them revisit their builds in the wake of the following Warframe changes!

And remember, everything is subject to change!
Caliban

Formalizing a new Damage Type and Status Effect: Tau Damage

Being of half-Sentient origin, Caliban brings a new element to the fight. He’ll inflict Tau Damage and Tau Status Effects upon the battlefield with his Abilities. Similarly to Void Damage, Tau Damage is neutral so that no enemy will be resistant to it.

Tau’s Status Effect inflicts Status Chance Vulnerability to enemies affected by it, with a max of 10 Stacks culminating in 100% Status Chance Vulnerability (10% per Stack), with each stack individually lasting 8 seconds!

This mechanic was originally introduced by Dante and his Pageflight Paragrimms, in which you could apply Status Chance Vulnerability to enemies. This mechanic increases the likelihood an enemy receives a Status Effect when being hit.

Passive

Caliban’s Passive is virtually unchanged, but we’ve changed it to gather stacks when Caliban is immune, similar to Adaptation.

Razor Gyre:

Razor Gyre has received a mighty upgrade. Razor Gyre inflicts Tau Status Effects on enemies struck while refunding some of his Health, Shield, and Energy pools - all while traversing the battlefield.

• Razor Gyre is now a Status-inflicting traversal tool with a multitude of synergies.
  • Tap to dash forward as a spinning vortex, hitting every enemy within your radius.
  • Caliban gains 20 30 Health for every enemy hit, and when your Health is overflowed, it becomes Shields. If your Shields overflow, it becomes Overshield!
    • Razor Gyre will also refund 25% of the Ability's Energy cost when hitting an enemy - allowing for it be refunded!
  • Loot and Energy/Health Orbs can now be collected during Razor Gyre.
• Razor Gyre now inflicts Tau Damage and Status instead of Slash and Impact Damage and Status.
  • Razor Gyre inflicts 500 base Tau Damage and 1,000 base Tau Damage on lifted enemies.
  • These should allow Razor Gyre to become a synergetic staple by debuffing enemies for a low to no cost!

Sentient Wrath:

Sentient Wrath has been brought in line with similar Crowd Control Warframe Abilities while removing the target cap to ensure that the Ability is reliable and effective at its job.

• Enemies suspended by Sentient Wrath will now be locked in place to prevent them from floating away, similar to how Xaku’s Deny and Hydroid’s Tentacle Swarm hold enemies in position.
• Sentient Wrath no longer has a target cap.
• Sentient Wrath now inflicts only Tau Status Damage, instead of Impact, onto affected/lifted enemies.
  • Sentient Wrath deals 2,000 base Tau Damage with 35% Damage Vulnerability, in addition to the Tau Status Effect.
• Increased the casting speed of the Ability by 25%
  • You can also re-cast the Ability even if the first “wave” hasn’t finished casting.
    • If the recast hits enemies, you’ll refresh their stun duration.

Lethal Progeny:

Caliban can now summon three types of Sentients: Ortholysts, Summulysts, and Conculysts (the OG). All Sentient summons will, naturally, adapt to incoming enemy damage. You can only summon a set of Sentients at a time, so no mixing of 1 Conculyst, 2 Ortholysts, or one of each Sentient type.

Each Sentient comes with its own unique mechanic. Conculysts will match your Fusion Strike with one of their own, Ortholysts will deliver a rain of guaranteed Tau Status across the battlefield, and Summulysts, capable of summoning six resilient Choralysts, will draw attention from you and your allies while ensuring your Shields are never depleted.

• When you cast to summon Caliban’s Sentients, you’ll summon all three of the chosen Sentients with one cast instead of previously needing to cast three separate times. Players can now recast the ability to refresh their Sentient count or summon different Sentient types.
  • Recasting will replace existing Sentients and summon new ones where Caliban is aiming.
• Conculyst
  • As Melee-oriented summons, the Concluysts retain their role as the primary damage dealers of Caliban’s trifecta.
    • Conculysts “Tornado” Ability lasts 6 seconds and a cooldown of 4 seconds, and they’ll spin to win more often.
      • The Tornado Ability also had its base Damage bumped to 1,000 from the previous 50.
    • These do not scale with any Warframe Mods.
  • Concluysts will now cast Fusion Strike alongside Caliban for 0.5x the effectiveness of Caliban’s Fusion Strike.
    • Conculysts will target their Fusion Strike wherever Caliban’s was fired.
  • Conculysts’ target priority has been slightly reduced.
    • Conculysts target priority was lowered to incentivize using the Summulyst as the premiere distraction noodle!
  • Caliban can summon up to three Conculysts simultaneously for the same Energy cost as just summoning one in his previous iteration (much more efficient)!
  • As stated above, Conculysts no longer recharge Shields, which lies solely with the Summulysts.
• Ortholyst
  • As long-ranged summons, the Ortholysts inflict only Tau Damage and Tau Status Effects onto the field en masse with their Cannon and Mortar forms.
    • The Ortholyst’s Cannons have a 100% Status Chance, guaranteeing Tau Status Effects
      • The Ortholysts Mortar form has 300% Status Chance
      • These numbers do not scale with any Mods.
  • Ortholysts’ target priority matches that of Conculysts.
  • Caliban can summon up to three Ortholysts simultaneously for the same Energy cost.
• Summulyst:
  • Summulysts are portal-based Sentients that summon Shield-regenerating Choralysts that’ll distract your foes while recharging your and your allies' Shields.
    • Summulysts will summon six Choralysts. These Choralysts, when killed, will be immediately replaced if the Summulyst is still active.
    • These Choralysts have the highest possible target priority, ensuring enemies target them whenever possible instead of the players.
  • Choralysts Shields recharge at a base of 25 Shields per second, scaling with Ability Strength.
    • Choralysts will also apply this Shield recharge to you and your allies.
    • The range to receive the Shield recharge scales with Ability Range!
  • Caliban can summon one Summulyst at a time.
• His Sentients will benefit from a 10x Damage multiplier against all non-Sentient Factions/enemies whenever a Sentient unit deals Sentient Damage.
• All the Sentients will recharge your Shields! Summulysts just do it best thanks to their six extra Choralysts!
• Base Duration of the Sentient summons increased to 45 from 25!
• Removed collision on summons so Caliban’s Progeny does not get in his way, similar to Nekros’ Shadows.
• You can now see your Sentient summons through walls, similar to how Khora can see Venari.
• Squad members will see Caliban’s Sentients with some dithering to make it clear they’re allies!

Fusion Strike:

Fusion Strike is one Ability that benefits most from some quality-of-life changes, alongside a few recalculations of how damage is delivered!

• Changed damage type from Blast to Tau and inflicts Tau Status Effects.
  • The beam itself deals a base of 15,000 Tau Damage per second, scaling with Ability Strength. In addition to the Beam dealing damage, struck enemies will explode with further damage after the cast!
    • The Convergence Explosion deals 750 base Tau Damage, scaling with Ability Strength.
    • The Enemy Detonation deals 5,000 base Tau Damage, scaling with Ability Strength.
    • The beam has a Status Chance of 20%.
• Enemies can now be damaged by more than one Fusion Strike beam per cast.
  • Defense Reduction (Armor + Shields) strip occurs only once.
    • 50% Defense Reduction at 100 Ability Strength or 100% at 200 Ability Strength.
  • Fusion Strike's beam will apply the Defense Reduction alongside the radial field (it's back - best of both worlds!) Fusion Strike's beam now applies the Armor Strip, not the radial field.
    • Previously, the damage field left behind is what enabled Armor Stripping, which felt awkward if enemies left before it could apply. Now, it applies when the Beam hits an enemy, making it much easier to work with.
  • Fusion Strike’s beam can now deal damage multiple times in one instance (meaning the Beam can proc multiple damage ticks in one activation) to support damaging enemies more than once.
• Reduced the player’s turning speed when casting Fusion Strike.
  • The beam handles similarly to Qorvex’s “Crucible Blast. " The intention was to ensure that Fusion Strike felt like a committed cast while helping the player strike enemies effectively due to the beam's increased lethality.
• Casting Fusion Strike now makes Caliban immune from damage for the duration of the cast.

Caliban’s adaptation is imminent — and we’re excited to get his reworked kit into the hands of Tenno across the Origin System. Koumei & The Fives Fates releases on October 2nd!

Wukong

Wukong has developed what we and fellow players have noted is a disruptive playstyle regarding his ability to animation cancel Heavy Attacks with Cloud Walker. This leads to fast spam of max Combo Counter damage, especially on weapons such as the Arca Titron.

When we nerf anything, we follow a set of three points:

• To reduce AFK strategies,
• If the playstyle negatively hinders or disrupts the gameplay of others,
• To minimize a dominant playstyle that players feel they need to play it.

This Wukong combination falls into the disruptive gameplay category of our above philosophy.

Following this, we aim to remove the problem surgically at its core - the animation cancels. As such, we’re only removing the ability to activate Cloud Walker while a Heavy Slam animation is currently being used.

Cloud Walker:

• When you Heavy Slam while using Cloud Walker to exit the Ability, you cannot activate Cloud Walker again until the Heavy Slam animation is complete.

Also, Wukong’s Celestial Stomp Augment has a rather unfair advantage, being able to effect normally crowd-control-immune enemies, so we’re adjusting it to meet the standard of other Crowd Control abilities.

Celestial Stomp Augment:

• Celestial Stomp no longer stuns crowd control-immune enemies, such as Eximus units with Overguard, to bring Celestial Stomp in line with similar crowd-controlling abilities.

We recognize that Wukong is a popular choice of Warframe, and our intention is to reduce the disruptiveness without an unfair knock-on effect.

Hildryn

Hildryn is also receiving a few changes to her kit! Our goal with Hildryn was to add functionality to her Aegis Storm, tying in some nice-to-haves with her Balefire Charger!

Balefire Charger:

• Reduced the max Shield cost of a Balefire charged shot and increased the maximum charged shot damage that can be inflicted.
  • 200 Shield for Max Charged Shot, and now does 1,500 base Damage.
  • With this, charging the Balefire Charger will be a more worthwhile time investment compared to the dominance of fast-firing the weapon.
• Unequipping Balefire Charger will now re-equip your previously selected weapon instead of always your Secondary weapon.

Aegis Storm:

• Balefire Charger is now automatically equipped upon activating Aegis Storm instead of needing to activate it
• Aegis Storm is now much more fluid regarding Ability usage and movement!
  • Hildryn can now use Pillage or any Helminth Ability while Aegis Storm is active!
    • Jade is allowed to use Pillage while using her 4th Ability, so we felt Hildryn deserved to utilize Pillage while she flew around, too!
  • Hildryn can now move around when activating Balefire Charger while in Aegis Storm instead of being locked in place for the duration of the animation.
  • Increased Hildryn’s maximum speed, movement acceleration and hover ascension rate while in Aegis Storm.
• Deactivating Aegis Storm now makes Hildryn invincible for a short period to prevent dying mid-animation.
  • Deactivating Aegis Storm now performs a proper ground slam, similar to Rhino’s “Stomp” or Qorvex’s “Chyrinka Pillar.”
    • Deactivating Aegis Storm now slams all lifted enemies simultaneously, unlike when they dropped with random delays previously.

---

Nova

Last but certainly not least, Nova is receiving a few changes to how her kit functions, aiming to bring extra quality of life alongside build variance.

Passive:

Nova’s original passive emitted Blast Damage upon her being knocked down, meaning any Primed Sure Footed users would have seen this nullified entirely. So, we’ve whipped up a new passive that feels more appropriate for 2024 Warframe standards:

• Enemies killed while Slowed have 15% to drop Health orbs. Enemies killed while Sped Up have 15% to drop Energy orbs.

Null Star:

• This ability is now recastable!
  • As this is Nova’s main source of Damage Reduction, players were incentivized to reduce Ability Range if they wanted to keep as many Null Star particles as possible. With the ability to recast to maximize your Damage Reduction, DR-minded players have more build diversity available to them.
• Increased base particle count from 6 to 12.
  • 18 particles are still needed to maintain 90% Damage Reduction, but it’s now much easier for players to hit that cap.
  • With the increased particle count, the VFX will become more subtle the more particles you have. These particles will also dissolve while aiming down sights to prevent them from obstructing player view.
• Damage Resistance from Null Star now applies to both Shields and Health (previously only applied to Health).
• Changed damage type from Slash to Blast damage, with a guaranteed Blast Proc. Base Null Star damage has also been increased from 150 to 300.

Neutron Star (Augment):

• Recasting will cause remaining particles to seek out enemies, and then replenish the particles orbiting Nova.
• Heat Damage and guaranteed Heat Proc now apply to all Null Star particles, not just the ones sent out via recast.

Antimatter Drop:

• Tapping the ability input while an Antimatter Drop orb is active will massively increase its speed, causing it to zoom in the direction of the player reticle.
  • As a result, only one Antimatter Drop orb can be cast at a time.
  • Antimatter Drop has historically been difficult to control, with its speed only increasing once the orb is “fully charged”. This change gives players the ability to shoot at the slow-moving orb to maximize damage output, and then catapult it towards unsuspecting enemies at their whim.
• Changed damage type from Radiation to Blast, with 100% Status Chance.
• Only 5 shots will be absorbed by Antimatter Drop to reach full charge (excluding multishot).
  • Teleporting an Antimatter Drop orb via a Wormhole will automatically charge the orb halfway.
• Updated the orb’s appearance to better communicate its charging mechanic:
  • The orb now looks like one sphere contained within another. The inner sphere will grow in size as damage is absorbed, until it reaches the cap.
• Improved Antimatter Drop's movement logic so it tries to stay within the player's line of sight, to avoid cases of players "losing" the orb after casting.
• Removed collision on the Antimatter Drop orb so it will no longer be blocked by allies. (RIP Orb Surfing 2024)

Wormhole:

• Removed Wormhole’s duration.
  • Wormhole will now stay up indefinitely unless a) all of its charges have been used or b) it has been replaced by a recast Wormhole when players have created the maximum number of portals.
• Added icons above each Wormhole indicating how many times it can be used before disappearing.
  • Each orb represents one use!
• Holding the ability input will display the exit point of the Wormhole, similar to Kullervo’s Wrathful Advance.

Molecular Prime:

• Added a Tap / Hold functionality: Tap to cast a Slowing effect on enemies. Hold to cast a Speed-Up effect instead.
  • The “Speedva” build has been a long-time staple of Novas everywhere, and is a fantastic example of bug-turned-feature. While we love the quirk that resulted in our beloved Speedva, negative Strength offers little benefit to Nova’s kit beyond this mechanic. After much deliberation, we decided it was best for all Nova players to make this quality of life change: swap between Speed and Slow in-mission as you wish, without worrying about accidentally bringing a Slowva to your Defense Sorties.
  • Slow and Speed effects are both capped at 75% respectively, and scale the same with Strength. (i.e. a max Slow build will also provide max Speed).
• Increased base Slow/Speed effect from 30% to 50%.
• Bonus damage multiplier now applies to Overguard, Health, and Shields.
  • Previously it only applied to enemy Health!
  • This multiplier has also been added to the Ability screen so players can better understand Molecular Prime’s mechanics.
• Speed-Up effect will bypass crowd control immunity (ex: enemies with Overguard).
• Killing Primed enemies has a 20% chance to proc Blast on nearby foes.

Molecular Fission (Augment):

• Null Star will apply Molecular Prime to enemies struck by its particles.

As said earlier, when you login between October 2nd and October 16th, you'll receive a free Caliban sent directly to your inbox! To set expectations, there may be a delay for inbox delivery after the Update releases to prevent us from accidentally Fusion Striking our own servers. Look for more details in the official patch notes.

And, of course, don't forget to check out the other Dev Workshops!
