Info

  • Limbo brings a dimensional nexus into existence that bridges the Material and Rift planes, forming a sphere of swirling void energy with an initial radius of 7 meters centered around the location on the aiming reticle over unrestricted range. The sphere continuously shrinks over a duration of 4 seconds to a final radius of 2 meters before collapsing on itself.
    • The sphere will be created wherever the reticle is aiming when the casting animation finishes, allowing time before then to fine-tune the sphere's placement.
  • Cataclysm will collapse when deactivated manually by pressing the ability key again (default 4 ), its duration expires, or when Limbo is killed.
  • Cataclysm exhibits various effects on allies, enemies, and objects within its influence.

  • Allies can move between the material and Rift planes by entering and exiting the sphere.
  • Warframe abilities can affect targets across the different dimensional planes.
  • Players are visually coated in a layer of white energy while in the Rift plane.

  • Enemies can freely move between the material and Rift planes by entering and exiting the sphere.
  • Cataclysm's formation and collapse each deal 150 DmgBlastSmall64 Blast damage and staggers all enemies caught within the area of effect; enemies caught in either explosion or crossing the sphere's borders will also take 50 DmgImpactSmall64 Impact transitional damage upon entering or leaving the Rift plane.
    • Bonus damage further scales with Cataclysm's current range/duration, dealing 25% of its total when at its maximum and ranking up to 100% when at its minimum.
    • Damage does not diminish with distance and bypasses obstacles in the environment.
  • Weapon attacks only apply when enemies and their targets are both present in the Rift.
  • Warframe abilities can affect targets across the different dimensional planes.
  • Rift Walking causes Limbo to enter the Rift plane, allowing him to damage enemies within Cataclysm.
  • Enemies are visually coated in rippling energy and monochrome flames while in the Rift plane.

  • Cataclysm's sphere void energy is affected by Limbo's chosen energy color.
