Aquablades

Info

• Yareli expends 75 energy to twirl out a swirling whirlwind of 3 razor-sharp Aquablades that form a protective ring around her for 25 / 30 / 35 / 45 seconds. Aquablades rapidly revolve clockwise around Yareli, striking all enemies within a radius of 5 meters in an interval of 3 consecutive hits within 0.5 seconds; enemies that receive all three hits are immune to further hits from Aquablades for 0.5 seconds. Each hit inflicts 350 / 450 / 600 / 750  Slash damage with a 100% Status Chance and  Stagger.
  • At max ability rank, if an enemy receives a trio of hits by Aquablades, it receives a total of 2,250  Slash damage with 3  Slash procs on individual timers dealing a total of 4,725 Cinematic damage over the course of 6 seconds.
  • Aquablades do not require line-of-sight between Yareli and enemies in range. The ring of blades phases through all terrain obstacles.
  • Aquablades' ring of blades affects enemies within its radius except the epicenter where Yareli stands, leaving roughly a small 0.5 to 1 meter gap. The ability area-of-effect is an invisible donut-shaped cylinder roughly the same height as Yareli herself.
  • Aquablades damage and break destructible Objects such as crates and resource caches.
• Ability Synergy:
  •  Sea Snares prevent snared enemies struck by Aquablades from being staggered away, allowing the blades to strike rapidly stacking multiple  Slash status effects.
  • Yareli casts Aquablades without stopping her movement while aboard  Merulina.
  • Aquablades can damage and bleed enemies drawn near Yareli by  Riptide.
• In Landscapes, deploying and riding an Archwing or a K-Drive while Aquablades is active will retain the spinning blades and will keep dealing Slash damage and stunning enemies.
  • This is also true when casting Aquablades before getting off a Railjack to fly via Archwing, giving an additional damaging source while engaging enemy craft in melee.
• Cannot be recast while active.
• Casting Aquablades is a full-body animation that stops Yareli's grounded movement and other actions.
• Aquablades is dispelled only if Yareli herself enters an ability nullifying sphere from special enemies, such as the Nullifier Crewman. Aquablades that physically enter the sphere are unaffected.
• Yareli visually clasps both her hands together toward the left, then slides her right arm away in a swift slicing motion, as her left leg lifts briefly for balance. Void-laced water and bubbles splash outward as the blades fade into existence inside a liquid current that forms around Yareli.
  • Aquablades visually resemble three glaive rings stylized with a wave-like design, each suspending in the outer orbit a thin slice of dense water shaped like sawblades. The blades surge and cycle through a circular liquid current laced with Void energy.
  • Aquablades and their Void energy are affected by Yareli's chosen Appearance colors.
  • While active, a continuous water surging sound effect with intermittent soft feminine humming tune plays on loop.
• Enemies successfully struck by Aquablades emit a splash of liquid globs and a water cutting sound effect for each hit.
• Subsuming Yareli to the Helminth will offer Aquablades and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
