Caliban Abilities

Passive Ability

Caliban’s presence provides not only himself but his allies as well with Adaptive Armor to those who are within Affinity Range.

The Adaptive Armor passive ability provided by Caliban reduces the damage taken from sources every time you are hit, stacking by 5% and reaching a maximum of 50%.

When no damage has been taken by Caliban or his allies, the Adaptive Armor will diminish by 2% per second.

1) Razor Gyre (Max Rank)

The Razor Gyre ability allows Caliban to start spinning into a vortex of death, dealing Tau Damage to enemies within range per second.

Caliban will recover health based on how many enemies are damaged while Razor Gyre is active, making this great for offense and survivability.

Razor Gyre inflicts additional damage to enemies who are lifted, which can be caused by Sentient Wrath.

Augment Mods: Razor Mortar causes enemies to become grouped together and also causes the Ortholysts from Lethal Progeny to focus their attacks on them. Ortholysts will have an additional 70% Electricity Damage and Fire Rate for 6 seconds. Obtained from Cephalon Suda/The Perrin Sequence.

2) Sentient Wrath

Caliban makes a short leap and slams the ground to send out a radial wave of destruction toward nearby enemies, which deals Tau Damage to them.

Enemies that are not killed by the initial damage will be lifted into the air, which causes them to take increased damage for a short period.

Sentient Wrath is a good initiator for when you plan to use Razor Gyre as the lifted enemies will take more damage from the ability.

3) Lethal Progeny

With Lethal Progeny, Caliban can summon his own Conculysts, Ortholysts, or Summulysts to fight by his side, which each has its uses.

You will be able to summon the following:

• Conculysts – Focuses on melee damage.
• Ortholysts – Focuses on ranged attack and inflicting Tau Status Effect
• Summulysts – Summons Choralysts to provide shield protection

Up to 3 Conculysts may be summoned and will automatically begin to attack enemies they encounter while protecting Caliban.

Caliban’s Sentients can be a good addition to fighting against more enemies and will be useful depending on your play style and build.

Conculysts will cast their own mini Fusion Strikes alongside Caliban, dealing 0.5x the amount of damage that Caliban does.

4) Fusion Strike

Using his Sentient energy, Caliban creates 3 beams that are spread out which center on to a single point, dealing Tau Damage to enemies they touch.

Initial damage is followed by a blast when the beams are centered, which removes the armor and shields from enemies affected.

This powerful beam is great for destroying several enemies or weakening them and may even be used in synergy with Caliban’s other abilities.

Casting Fusion Strike while having Conculysts summoned will cause them to use their Mini Fusion Strikes when Caliban does, dealing 0.5x the normal damage.

Verdict

Caliban’s abilities exceed that of a normal Warframe, capable of delivering chaos amongst groups of enemies that get in his way.

His ability to use his Signature weapons can greatly help him out when fighting against enemies while making use of his other abilities to weaken them.

A lot of synergy with Caliban’s abilities makes him a force to be reckoned with, making him a flexible Warframe depending on how he is modded and used.
