Cyte-09

Move like a shadow, strike with force. The Orokin created a Warframe that marries damage and stealth to eliminate sensitive problems, but he disappeared in the chaos of their demise. All that remains is a batch name: Cyte-09.

(Where it sits)

It is thin on health (106th of 117) and shield (104th of 117), which is what a build has to answer for.

It ships with 2 polarities already installed, plus Madurai on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(Abilities)

  1. 01

    Seek 25 energy

    Plant an antenna that projects a forward wave scan. Detected enemies take increased Weak Point Damage, and become visible through walls. Weapons gain Punch through.

  2. 02

    Resupply 50 energy

    Throw two Elemental Ammo Packs that instantly refill the active weapon’s magazine, while granting the weapon an additional instance of the selected Elemental Damage and Status Effect. Reload clears the effect. Sniper Rifles gain extra damage. Hold the ability to select the Elemental Damage type.

  3. 03

    Evade 75 energy Subsumable

    Jump backwards and become invisible for a short duration. Killing enemies on their Weak Points extends the duration and heals Cyte-09.

  4. 04

    Neutralize 5 energy

    Summon the Neutralizer, Cyte-09’s exalted Sniper Rifle. Bullets ricochet off Weak Points to seek out other nearby Weak Points. Alt fire lobs a Cold grenade that completely freezes enemies.

    Exalted weapon: Neutralizer

Costs are base figures, before efficiency.

Cyte-09's parts drop across 3 separate reward tables. Skipping all of it costs 370 platinum in the market.
