CHANGES IN GARUDA’S ABILITY

For more pleasurable butchery, the crimson maiden of death has been simplified! The following improvements have been made to the queen of gore in order to improve her mobility and deadliness:

Killing foes passively (including helps) now boosts damage by 5% up to 100% and drains by 1% every two seconds. Kills the drain and causes it to stall for 5 seconds. A new UI symbol appears in the bottom-right corner of your screen to signify this.

Bloodletting

• When cast, Bloodletting now clears Status procs.

AUGMENT BUFFS IN WARFRAME We set out to buff a selection of Augments that were underutilized according to our data, as we discussed in our previous Devstream. Our objective is to bring these Augments up to date so that they can compete with our more popular Augments. The boosts listed below are just enhancements to what is already present in the game. This isn’t the last batch, so stay tuned for more Augment updates in the future!

Before: Conceals allies within 15m for 8s with Ash: Smoke Shadow. While the player is under stealth, a +150 percent Critical Hit Chance bonus has been added.

Titanic Rumbler: Atlas Create a single rumbler with 300 percent health and 300 percent damage before continuing. Rumbler now has 300 percent more health and 400 percent more damage, as well as 300 percent greater melee range to strike numerous adversaries.

Endless Lullaby by Baruuk Previously, using a finisher on a sleeping adversary would retrigger Lull for the remainder of the period. Lull’s refill duration now activates when a sleeping adversary is immediately killed, in addition to finishers (does not trigger on assists). Can only be triggered once per three seconds now.

Excalibur: The Fierce Javelin Previously, each enemy strike increased Excalibur’s Melee Damage by 10% for 16 seconds. Melee damage has now been boosted to 15% at maximum Rank.

Surging Dash: Excalibur Previously, each opponent struck during Slash Dash adds 4 to your melee counter. Surging Dash now grants a doubled Melee Combo.

Gara: Putting Splinters Back Together Before: Splinter Storm restores 3 health per second for each victim it affects. New: The heal rate per target impacted has been raised to 15 health per second.

Garuda: Dread Ward Before: Become unkillable for 5 seconds when Mirror of Dread kills a target by ripping its life force. New: The invulnerability duration has been increased to 8 seconds. Dread Ward also has new visual feedback when casted.

Thurible’s Warding: Harrow Prior to channeling Thurible, allies in range took 40% less damage and received 0.5 extra energy charge everytime they were harmed. New: Allies now suffer 50% less damage and get 1 Energy when they are hit.

Tribunal in Harrow When fighting chained foes, other players will get 50% of the benefits of Penance and Thurible. Allies now proc 100% of the effects, which is a new feature.

Guided Effigy: Chroma Before: Cast and hold Effigy to have it move to your target. Deals 2000 damage per second to opponents in its path and stuns adjacent enemies with a roar when it arrives. New: Deals twice as much damage and restores 5 Energy to each opponent in its path. Effigy’s reactivity while turning/moving has also been increased.

Corroding Barrage: Hydroid Before: Each projectile has a one-in-a-million chance of causing a Corrosive status effect. Tempest Barrage’s Ability Strength has been increased to 100%.

Undertow Hydroid is a curative hydroid. Before: Allies could stand in the pool for 1.5 seconds to recoup 30% health, which increased the energy drain on Hydroid each ally. New: The energy drain to heal allies has been eliminated, and the description of the Augment has been revised to say that Hydroid will restore 10% health (this was always an effect, it was just not indicated in the description).

Tidal Impunity: Hydroid Before: Clears Status Effects and provides yourself and allies who come into touch with Tidal Surge 12 seconds of Status Immunity. New: Tidal Surge’s energy cost was reduced from 25 to 15.

Before: Killing a blinded adversary with a finisher has a 75% chance of summoning a Sand Shadow in Inaros: Desiccation’s Curse. New: When you kill a blinded adversary, you now have a 100% chance of summoning a Sand Shadow. Sand Shadows’ damage has been doubled.

Elemental Sandstorm, Inaros Before: Based on the damage types and modifiers on the attached melee weapon, Sandstorm has a 50% chance of inflicting Status Effects. Sandstorm now has a one-hundred percent chance of causing Status Effects. In addition, Sandstorm’s range has been increased by 50%.

Rift Haven: Limbo Prior to being exiled to the rift, allies will get 25% of their Maximum Health restored. New: Every second, allies exiled to the rift will have 25% of their maximum health restored.

ADDITIONS TO THE DOJO

Greetings, Dojo tinkerers! For you to let your imagination run wild, we’ve introduced two new rooms and new Dojo Decorations inspired by the Grineer Kuva Fortress and Orokin Tower tilesets.

These values are 0-3m, 3-8m, and 8-12m with 1200 damage for the Large Corpus Exploding Barrels. They will ragdoll instead of dying from the explosion.
  • When Blast damage was reworked in Update 27.2 , enemies stopped getting knocked over by Explosive Barrels.
