How to Get Ash in Warframe (2026) Guide

Ash is one of the closest Warframes that resembles a ninja, stalking from the shadows and assassinating his targets swiftly.

He is capable of taking out enemies from cover and can instantly close the gap to seal the fate of his enemies that cross his path.

This Warframe lurks in the shadows, hunting his prey and calling upon his shadow copies to eliminate them in the blink of an eye.

How To Get Ash?

Ash was obtained back then by purchasing his main blueprint while his components were obtained as drops from killing Grineer Manics.

With the arrival of the Railjack (Empyrean update), Ash is now available from the different proximas in Empyrean missions.

How To Get Ash Blueprint?

You can purchase the main blueprint for Ash from the market for 35,000 credits while his components are from the Empyrean Defense mission.

How To Get Ash Parts?

Ash components can be obtained in different proximas, whereas each part has a chance to drop in a specific area.

Ash Component Blueprint Locations include the following:

• Ash Neuroptics – Neptune Proxima
• Ash Chassis – Pluto Proxima 
• Ash Systems – Venus Proxima

All of the components to build ash can be obtained on rotation C of the Empyrean Defense mission, meaning there is a chance to get a part every 20 waves.

Ash Abilities

Ash is capable of throwing his Shuriken to damage enemies while covering his tracks and cloaking himself with a Smoke Screen.

He can instantly teleport to enemies and take them out with finishers and even summon shadowy figures to assassinate enemies that he marks.

Ash benefits by using Slash Damage to deal damage over time to enemies that survive his main attacks.

Passive Abilities

Improved Slash Status Effect

Slash Status Effects caused by ash will deal 25% more damage to enemies and the duration will be increased by 50%, which also stacks with duration mods.

This makes it easy for Ash to deal damage over time to enemies with a longer duration to utilize multiple sources of damage.

1) Shuriken

Ash throws shurikens in an arc in front of him, dealing damage to enemies who deal Slash Damage and may impale them to walls when they are killed.

This ability is great for dealing with ranged damage and is especially effective when the Seeking Shuriken augments are equipped for armor reduction.

Note: Shuriken hits will add to the Melee Combo Counter.

Shuriken (Rank 3)

Augment Mods: 

• Seeking Shuriken reduces the armor of enemies by 70%, which will last for up to 12 seconds. Obtained from Arbiters of Hexis/Red Veil.

2) Smoke Screen

Ash tosses a smoke bomb that stuns enemies around him while also turning him invisible for a certain amount of time.

This ability is perfect for remaining undetected as well as good for escaping combat when your health is low.

Smokescreen Stats (Rank 3)

Augment Mods:

• Smoke Shadow conceals allies within 15 meters for 8 and grants 150% Critical Chance when invisible. Obtained from Arbiters of Hexis/Red Veil.
• Tear Gas causes enemies that are within 4 meters to be blinded for 3 seconds. Obtained from the Conclave.

3) Teleport

Ash teleports to a target and performs a Finisher on them, which deals 200% bonus Finisher Damage on them.

If the target is killed by the attack, Ash will regain 50% of the total Energy that was spent on the Teleport ability.

Teleport Stats (Rank 3)

Augment Mods:

• Quickened Teleport increases Ash’s Parkour Velocity by 30%, which will last for 12 seconds while Finisher Kills extend the duration of Smoke Screen. Obtained from Arbiters of Hexis/Red Veil.

Note: Mercy Kills will reset Smoke Screen’s duration.

4) Blade Storm

Ash unleashes his Shadow Clones to assault his enemies within a certain range, which also allows Ash to join by using his Teleport ability.

Blade Storm scales off of the Shadow Clones Exalted Weapon, which may be upgraded by accessing Ash in your Arsenal. (Upgrade with Mods)

Blade Storm Stats (Rank 3)

Augment Mods:

• Rising Storm causes your Combo Counter to be increased by 4 with Blade Storm’s attacks and provides you with a passive 10-second Combo Duration. Obtained from Arbiters of Hexis/Red Veil.

Note: Blade Storm Augment (Rising Storm) utilizes its own Ability Combo Counter that increases the amount of damage it can deal to enemies.

Verdict

Ash excels at eliminating enemies in an instant and is capable of covering ground stealthily when he is needed to.

While his other abilities focus on single targets, Ash is capable of clearing several enemies using his Blade Storm.

When it comes to stealthy assassinations, Ash is one Warframe enemy who does not want to chase after them through the darkness.
