How To Use The Parazon In Warframe

The Parazon is a bladed tool used past Warframes for a variety of functions. Information technology is primarily used for Hacking enemy electronics but is also strong enough to be wielded as an bump-off weapon. The weapon is normally hidden when non in apply and tin can be materialized on the Warframe'southward right wrist when needed. Information technology also comes with a tether that allows the Warframe to throw the Parazon out then retrieve it afterward.

The Parazon appears as a weapon in the Arsenal that is permanently equipped on all Warframes. It possesses three Parazon Mod slots, which tin exist used to enhance its abilities. As with all Warframe weapons, the Parazon tin likewise be color customized as the player desires.

When hacking a console, the Warframe inserts the Parazon into the panel to initiate the hack. Hacking bonuses are applied according to the equipped Parazon hacking Mods.

Aside from hacking, the Parazon can also exist used to perform a lethal Finisher called Mercy, which has more than elaborate kill animations compared to normal finishers. Mercy finisher prompts are indicated by a red Parazon symbol to a higher place the enemy accompanied by a unique sound cue, and are performed by pressing the Interact button (Default X ) in melee range.

During normal gameplay, Mercy finisher prompts will only show up on specific heavy units. These prompts are guaranteed at 40% (60% on Corpus with all their shields removed) of their total health. Impact procs increases the Mercy threshold range of heavy units past 4% per proc up to a full of 80% (100% on Corpus) of their health. Withal, heavy units above level 150 decreases the Mercy threshold range by 1% per 5 levels down to a minimum of 10%. The threshold range is indicated past a yellow bracket on the enemy's health bar.

Successful Mercy kills can grant combat bonuses to the player depending on the Parazon mods they have equipped. The window for executing using Mercy expires in x seconds; the Parazon symbol blinks with three seconds left.

Normal Stealth kills cannot be performed by the Parazon, regardless if the player has a Melee weapon equipped or not.

It tin can also be used to instantly kill Crewship Pilots and hijack their ships, regardless of the airplane pilot'southward health. It is also used to defeat the Jackal by disrupting its machine-repair later fully depleting one of its health confined, preventing that health bar from regenerating.

Like normal weapon kills, Parazon Mercy kills give half of the enemy's Affinity value to the Warframe. Still, the other half is lost, presumably because the Parazon does non accumulate affinity itself.

Confronting Kuva Larvling, Candidates, Thralls, and Hounds, a Mercy try confronting them is called a Secret Mercy. Against Kuva Liches and Sisters of Parvos, the Mercy is chosen a Requiem Mercy. These units do not dice immediately from their wellness bar beingness depleted, instead slumping over to allow a Mercy to cease them off.

Defeating a Lich or Sis with a Requiem Mercy requires a Parazon with a sequence of Requiem Mods equipped. These mods are acquired from Requiem Void Crack missions, and do not provide any combat bonuses inherently but are instead an essential aspect in defeating Liches/Sisters in gainsay to sever their Continuity. The Parazon has three Requiem mod slots in addition to its normal slots, which are unlocked upon the player acquiring their first Requiem Modernistic.

PARAZON REWORK

Parazon attacks were introduced in The Old Blood equally a manner to Mercy kill enemies. This stylish and universal blade has had a articulate role in all things Liches, but their role in the game at large has been hard to play around. In that location are bug in need of solving, and the below outlines how we've done merely that!

The trouble with Mercy kills is they are difficult to pull off, making engagement with the system far too low! Mercy kills only have a chance to trigger when an enemy's health is 20% HP or less. In practice, you really never know if it's going to happen. And if it does, information technology is frequently as well tardily! You've riddled them with Condition furnishings, a Squadmate casts an Ability, or your Kavat might exist feeling extra bloodthirsty, and you cannot get in for the Mercy kill.

We are irresolute their design, calculation new Mods (thanks Design Council!), and refreshing the system.

The modify is based on a cadre principle: We want to make them more reliable and more strategic so y'all can actively decide if you want to utilise a Mercy kill or not.

Our change is rooted in the following:

A Mercy Kill opportunity is guaranteed when an enemy gets below 40% (60% for Corpus, but requires all Shields beingness stripped), but only on SPECIFIC units in each faction.

The units are:

All humanoid Eximus
Grineer
- Heavy Gunners
- Bombards
Corpus
- Scrambus
- Nullifiers
Infested
- Ancients

And the logic is rooted in the following common scenario:

Imagine you see a heavy gunner in the distance. You lot have "Blood for Energy" on your Parazon. You lot see you lot need some Free energy, so you lot beginning shooting the heavy gunner knowing total well in one case she'due south at 40%, she will be open for a Mercy kill and the Energy could be yours!

You can plan and decide!

This also means that Touch Status Consequence is changing:

Earlier: Impact Status Effects used to increase the chance that the random Mercy kill opportunity would happen.

After: Bear upon Status Effects increases the Mercy Kill threshold range on eligible enemies. Then instead of triggering at xl% on the list above, you tin utilise Touch on Status to exercise a Mercy kill sooner (four% per Status)… up to lxxx%. Meaning, applying a lot of Touch Status quickly makes an enemy VIP more quickly susceptible to a Mercy Impale. Touch on would then be a build strategy for getting the VIPs out of the fight!

Just what almost really high levels you ask?

Nosotros have made changes to this since our original Developer Workshop.

Upwardly until level 150, the Parazon Finisher triggers at 40% Health remaining.

After that, every 5 levels reduces the threshold past i%, down to a minimum of 10%! Eligible Enemy Health bars volition have a notch on them to indicate these thresholds..

This change was fabricated to make it more clear to our players, besides equally notwithstanding arroyo guaranteed kills at high levels with an amount of residuum.

In addition, since Parazons were reworked, Zephyr's Airburst no longer overlaps with finishers.
