Styanax is a hoplite-inspired Warframe introduced in the Veilbreaker update, wielding a javelin and shield that let him mix heavy attacks with strong defensive abilities.
He’s great at controlling crowds, pulling enemies together with Axios Javelin and blasting them with Final Stand, making it easy to hit multiple targets at once.
On top of that, Styanax can support his team by restoring shields and energy while weakening enemy defenses, letting him shine in both solo and group play.

1) Axios Javelin
Styanax quickly hurls an Axios Javelin at a targeted location, which will impale enemies that are hit, causing other surrounding enemies to be pulled to the area.
A deadly explosion is released in the area, causing all enemies within range of the area of impact to suffer from Blast Damage.

| Range | 50 Meters | Ability Range |
Damage | 1,250 Impact | Ability Strength |
| Duration | 8 Seconds | Ability Duration |
Explosion range | 15 Meters | Ability Range |
| Explosion Damage | 1,250 Blast | Ability Strength |
Augment Mods:
- Axios Javelineers summons a pair of Styanax Specters who also throw javelins, which create vortexes where they hit. Vortex duration is increased when an enemy is impaled. Obtained from Arbiters of Hexis/New Loka.
2) Tharros Strike
Styanax summons his Shield, Tharros, which he swings to stagger enemies with projectiles that burst outwards from him.
Enemies who are affected have their shields and armor reduced while Styanax regenerates health for each enemy that is hit.

3) Rally Point
Styanax taunts the enemy while his resolve uplifts him and his allies, causing him and nearby allies to regenerate energy over time.
Additionally, Styanax and his allies will also regenerate shields for every kill or assist that they contribute while under the effects of this ability.
Rally Point (Max Rank)
Stat | Value | Affected By |
Drain | 75 Energy | Ability Efficiency |

4) Final Stand
Styanax leaps into the air and unleashes a barrage of Axios Javelins upon an area, dealing damage to enemies where the javelins land.
Enemies that are directly hit by the javelins will end up taking even more damage from this ability, making it easy to take out groups.
Final Stand (Max Rank)
Stat | Value | Affected By |
Drain | 100 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
| Damage | 1,500 Slash | Ability Strength |
Explosion Range | 6 Meters | Ability Range |

Augment Mods:
- Intrepid Stand causes Styanax to gain Overguard while allies within Affinity Range gain half the amount based on how many javelins damage enemies. Obtained from Arbiters of Hexis/New Loka.
Verdict
Styanax works best in situations where you need both damage and control, staggering enemies while punishing groups with his javelin and explosion-based abilities.
His tanky tools, like Tharros Strike and Rally Point, let him take hits and keep fighting, while his passive makes speargun builds hit harder.
Whether you’re leading a fight solo or backing up a team, Styanax balances offense, defense, and utility, making him a reliable choice throughout missions.
