Lore

Tenno, the Warframe Qorvex was designed by my Albrecht's own hand, to protect the chosen Operator from the hazards of his laboratory. This design is yours by right.
Loid

Qorvex is a hulking mass of concrete arranged around a radioactive Crucible Core. Designed and created by Albrecht Entrati himself, he serves as a bulwark against the terrifying and eldritch forces that now invade his labs. Qorvex now serves as a new guardian to the Chosen Operator.

Notes

Trivia

  • Qorvex is the 55th unique Warframe to be released.
  • Qorvex was first mentioned in Devstream 174 during the upcoming features checklist showcase for Whispers in the Walls. His in-game model, abilities, alt helmet, and signature archgun were revealed in Devstream 175.
  • Qorvex is the first Warframe whose name begins with the letter "Q". As of his announcement, the only letter remaining with a related Warframe, is 'U'.
    • The name Qorvex could be a portmanteau of the words core and vex. In nuclear engineering, core is a term for "the inner part of a nuclear reactor where nuclear reactions takes place", which refers to Qorvex's Crucible Core contained by his innumerable concrete plating. Vex is a verb for "to annoy or irritate" or "to cause mental distress", which implies the confusion afflicting his foes by the  Radiation status effect.
  • Concrete is often used in the containment of radioactive material due to it being dense enough to absorb most forms of ionizing radiation, and cheap enough to be used in vast quantities. The penetrating nature of radiation is alluded to in Qorvex's Passive granting additional Punch Through to any of his guns. This may also be a reference to the use of depleted uranium in the manufacture of armor-piercing rounds.
  • Some of Qorvex' abilities give of the signature clicking sound of a Geiger counter, an instrument used for detection ionizing radiation.
  •  Chyrinka Pillar is derived from Cherenkov radiation, a form of energy emitted when the charged particles moving at speeds faster than that of light in a specific medium.
  •  Disometric Guard is derived from dosimetry, the measurement and study of ionizing radiation as absorbed by the human body.
  • A week prior to Devstream 175, Creative Director Rebecca Ford and Warframe's official Twitter teased Qorvex's descriptive appearance and his official default colors, encouraging players to guess and draw his look.[1][2]
  • The development process on Qorvex spanned across 2023 according to Rebecca and Pablo. His brutalist concrete appearance drew heavy inspiration from the stone-like Murmur faction also introduced with him, and required several iterations from artist Mike "Mynki" Brennan.
    • Qorvex's concrete armor plating are separate slabs that pulsate in a breathing-like pattern during his idle Animation Sets. This animation affects various body parts, such as his helmet, chest, shoulders and arms, codpiece, thighs and legs.
    • When Qorvex was first announced, his passive was originally going to grant bonus  Radiation damage to all weapons he has equipped.
  • He is the ninth Warframe after  Limbo,  Hildryn,  Wisp,  Titania Prime,  Protea,  Xaku and  Sevagoth, and  Gyre with a unique dodge roll animation, where Qorvex slides in a bashing posture as the sound of moving stone plays.
    • Similar to  Styanax's armor clanking footsteps, Qorvex's footsteps emit stone friction noise.
  • Qorvex's physical design and idle animations appear to be modeled after gorillas.

Chyrinka Pillar

Summon a Chyrinka Pillar that slows enemies. It pulses Radiation Damage with a guaranteed Status Effect.


Introduced in Update 35.0 (2023-12-13)

 Strength:700 / 800 / 900 / 1000  Radiation damage per pulse
 Duration:20 / 25 / 30 / 35 s pillar duration
5 s empowered duration
 Range:5 / 6 / 7 / 8 m slam and pulse radius

Misc:  Stagger on slam
 Ragdoll on direct slam
3 m pillar height
2 pillars limit
1.5 s pulse interval
35% slow
 Radiation status per pulse
0.75 s empowered pulse interval

Subsumable to Helminth

Info

  • Qorvex expends 25 Energy to construct a Chyrinka Pillar. Before deploying the pillar, Qorvex jumps and slams his fists into the ground, inflicting  Stagger to all enemies in 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters, and  Ragdoll away enemies in the dead center where the pillar constructs.
    • On cast while grounded, Qorvex jumps and slams into the ground 1 meter away. On cast while airborne, he descends diagonally toward the nearest horizontal surface, similar to a Melee Slam Attack.
  • After the slam, Qorvex constructs a Chyrinka Pillar that lasts for 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 seconds. The Chyrinka Pillar is an Invulnerable stationary object that is untargetable by enemies. Each pillar stands 3 meters tall, with an intangible pillar structure and a solid radioactive core installed at its peak. Up to 2 Chyrinka Pillars may be deployed at once.
    • The pillar structure allows entities and attacks to phase through the object. The radioactive core has collision and can function as an elevated platform for players to stand on.
    • The latest active Chyrinka Pillar's duration timer is shown on the ability icon.
  • When Qorvex's slam contacts the ground, the Chyrinka Pillar emits its first radioactive pulse, then subsequently emits a pulse once every 1.5 seconds. Each pulse slows down foes by 35% then inflicts 700 / 800 / 900 / 1,000  Radiation damage with a guaranteed Status Effect to enemies in line-of-sight and a radius of 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters.
    • Chyrinka Pillar pulses damage and break destructible Objects such as crates and resource caches.
    • Pulse radius is shown as a persistent circular energy field with rising radioactive waves surrounding each pillar.
    • Line-of-sight detection occurs from the structure base of the pillar.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Empower Chyrinka Pillars by compressing  Containment Wall on them, or by striking them with  Crucible Blast or  Mandonel's fully charged shots. Affected pillars remain empowered for 5 seconds, during which their radioactive cores glow brightly and the pulses hasten to emit once every 0.75 seconds.
      • When empowered by Crucible Blast, the Chyrinka Pillar's pulses inherit that ability's explosive chain reaction against irradiated enemies.
      • Empowered pillar duration cannot be refreshed, though Crucible Blast can infuse its chain reaction into an already empowered pillar mid-pulse.
    • Chyrinka Pillar's  Radiation status effect increases  Disometric Guard's chance to gain status immunity stacks on kills and assists, as well as amplify Crucible Blast's explosion damage per  Radiation status.
  • Subsuming Qorvex to the Helminth will offer Chyrinka Pillar and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

Tips & Tricks

  • Place a pillar in an open area with the pulse radius covering potential entrances for incoming enemies. Since the pillar requires line-of-sight to irradiate foes, the more exposure the faster enemies begin to fight each other.
  • Aim directly down while casting to place the pillar closer to your desired spot, as Qorvex will always jump and slam down the pillar.
  • Against melee enemies, place a pillar where desired and stand on top of its radioactive core, where the foes cannot reach you.
  • Qorvex's slam (the first pillar pulse) ignores line-of-sight against objects, making it a great tool for unboxing loot containers.
  • To empower a pillar, use  Containment Wall,  Crucible Blast, or Mandonel's charged shot on it. You can simply graze the pillar's intangible structure support or solid core to empower it.
  • Due to  Radiation status, enemies will fight each other indiscriminately. Enemies outside the Chyrinka Pillar's radius will likely target irradiated enemies inside if they are closer, unless a high Threat Level entity is in range (such as Excavators and Defense objectives). The pulse's slow assists in delaying their advance, and pairs well with  Cold status effect and other slowing abilities.
  • Pair Chyrinka Pillar's slow with Containment Wall's light and large  Stagger effects and  Disometric Guard's  Knockdown to inflict prolonged interrupting crowd control to foes. Due to the slow, Qorvex has more time to use melee finishers on these vulnerable enemies.

Containment Wall

Contain the threat. Qorvex summons walls that slam together, damaging all enemies caught between them and inflicting Radiation Status.


Introduced in Update 35.0 (2023-12-13)

 Strength:125 / 150 / 175 / 200  Radiation damage per tick
2,000 / 2,500 / 3,000 / 3,500  Impact damage on smash
+25% damage type modifier
 Duration:N/A
 Range:14 / 16 / 18 / 20 m walls length

Misc: 2 parallel walls
2 m placement distance
10 m walls gap
3m length x 1m width x 3m height segment dimensions
Light  Stagger on segment creation
1 s assembly time
 Radiation status per hit
0.125 s damage interval
7  Radiation damage ticks
Enemy linear displacement on smash
Large  Stagger on smash
Melee finisher prompt
∞ damage vuln. debuff duration

Info

  • Qorvex expends 50 Energy to construct then collapse 2 Containment Walls comprised of numerous irradiated concrete segments. On cast, Qorvex takes a step forward as the concrete segments solidify into existence one-by-one simultaneously for both walls; the starting segments are placed 2 meters in front of Qorvex, and positioned parallel to each other leaving a 10 meter wide gap in between. Each Concrete Segment is an intangible stationary object 3 meters long, 1 meter wide, and 3 meters tall. Enemies standing inside a solidifying concrete segment will receive a light  Stagger effect.
    • On cast while airborne, Qorvex descends diagonally toward the nearest horizontal surface, similar to a Melee Slam Attack. The Containment Wall only begins construction upon landing.
    • Concrete segments will attempt to adhere to the changes in terrain elevation as the walls assemble, by forming on top of horizontal surfaces several meters above or below the open space where the next segment connects to the previous. If no solid surface is available, the next segment forms connected to the previous segment.
    • Concrete segments allow allied entities and attacks to phase through them. Segments can form inside obstacles in the environment and phase through when the walls compress.
  • Qorvex fully assembles the Containment Walls in the span of 1 second to reach their full length of 14 / 16 / 18 / 20 meters. During assembly, radioactive waves leak into the gap between every pair of parallel concrete segments, inflicting 125 / 150 / 175 / 200  Radiation damage with a guaranteed Status Effect every 0.125 seconds, up to 7 instances of damage and status to all enemies inside.
    • The corresponding concrete segments from each wall will always spawn parallel to each other. Each segment has its own individual hitbox to compress enemies inward, and the empty space in between also has a large invisible hitbox to inflict damage per tick.
    • Containment Wall's radioactive waves damage and break destructible Objects such as crates and resource caches.
  • On the eighth damage interval, Qorvex forcibly compresses the walls together until they collide and collapse away, while violently pushing enemies toward the collision point and inflicting 2,000 / 2,500 / 3,000 / 3,500  Impact damage with a guaranteed  Radiation status on the smashed enemies. Smashed enemies also receive a large  Stagger effect that causes a longer recovery animation, prompt Melee Finisher Attack (default X ), and have their damage type modifiers permanently increased by +25%.
    • Damage type vulnerability does not stack against debuffed enemies on repeated casts.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Qorvex's Core Exposure Passive benefits from Containment Wall aligning enemies into a straight line.
    • Empower  Chyrinka Pillar by compressing Containment Wall on it. Affected pillars remain empowered for 5 seconds, during which their radioactive cores glow brightly and the pulses hasten to emit once every 0.75 seconds.
    • Containment Wall's 8 stacks of  Radiation status effects drastically increase  Disometric Guard's chance to gain status immunity stacks on kills and assists, as well as amplify  Crucible Blast's explosion damage per  Radiation status.

Augment

Main article: Wrecking Wall

Wrecking Wall is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Qorvex's  Containment Wall that grants it Armor and Shield strip. Additionally, hitting 5 or more enemies will refresh  Chyrinka Pillar's duration while empowering it.

Wrecking Wall

Tips & Tricks

  • Use Containment Wall's long reach to irradiate and align far away enemies into a narrow queue, then attack with guns amplified by Qorvex's Core Exposure Passive or  Crucible Blast to utilize their Punch Through properties.
  • Cast from the air to descend quickly. If aiming straight down, the walls construct toward where Qorvex's model is facing on landing.
  • Among Qorvex's abilities, Containment Wall and Crucible Blast both stack  Radiation procs rapidly. Use this quick accumulation to make irradiated enemies deal more damage to their former allies, raise the status immunity stack chance for  Disometric Guard, and amplify Crucible Blast's explosion damage.

Disometric Guard

Guard yourself and nearby allies against Status Effects. Each time Qorvex kills or assists in killing an enemy affected by Radiation Status, the number of Status Effects Disometric Guard can prevent increases.


Introduced in Update 35.0 (2023-12-13)

 Strength:200 / 300 / 400 / 500  Radiation damage on cast
2 / 3 / 4 / 5 initial status immunity stacks
5 / 7 / 8 / 10 max status immunity stacks
 Duration:N/A
 Range:N/A

Misc: 6 m damage radius
 Radiation status and  Knockdown on cast
50 m Affinity Range
Status cleanse on cast
∞ stack duration
+10% stack chance per active  Radiation status on enemy from kills and assists
100% stack chance cap

Info

  • Qorvex expends 75 Energy to explosively fragment out several protective concrete plates. On cast, Qorvex reels back then leaps in the air, detonating an explosion that inflicts 200 / 300 / 400 / 500  Radiation damage with a guaranteed Status Effect and  Knockdown to enemies in a radius of 6 meters.
  • After the explosion, Qorvex's concrete plates encircle himself and allied Warframes inside his Affinity Range. All negative status effects on Qorvex and his allied Warframes are first cleansed, then an initial number of 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 stacks of concrete plates surround them. Each stack lasts indefinitely until consumed by negating an incoming status effect, including  Knockdown and self or enemy-inflicted  Stagger.
    • Status cleanse on cast is a separate function and does not consume an initial stack.
    • Each guarded Warframe consumes stacks individually and do not reduce the stacks on other guarded Warframes.
    • Allied Warframes retain their Disometric Guard stacks when leaving Qorvex's Affinity Range, and even when Qorvex himself has zero stacks.
    • When a status effect is negated, the player's screen borders flash in a fading radioactive visual effect, while an orbiting concrete plate dissolves away.
    • Concrete plates orbiting a player visually disappear when aiming down sights with ranged weapons, and when the camera is positioned close to Qorvex's character model.
  • While Qorvex has at least 1 stack of Disometric Guard remaining, when Qorvex himself kills or assists in killing an enemy with an active  Radiation status effect, there is a 10% chance to add 1 stack to Qorvex and allied Warframes in his Affinity Range; for each active  Radiation status effect on the enemy, the stack chance increases up to a cap of 100% at 10  Radiation statuses. Disometric Guard can only sustain max 5 / 7 / 8 / 10 stacks per player.
    • When gaining or losing stacks, concrete plates visually materialize or dissolve away, shuffling the entire orbit to occupy equal distances between plates.
    • Amount of remaining stacks are shown on the ability icon and as a buff icon beside Qorvex's hitpoints indicator.
  • Can be recast while active. If Qorvex and allied Warframes are below max stacks, recast adds initial stacks to their current stack count up to the max.
  • Ability Synergy:

Bugs

  • In the Simulacrum, stacks visually do not disappear once the modding changed via Arsenal, but the ability is deactivated as expected. Qorvex is unable to prevent status effects properly due to the lingering stacks.
  • Using transference, or being forced into operator form, may show 0 stacks when returning to the warframe. This is purely visual.

Crucible Blast

Release a beam from Qorvex's Crucible Core. Each enemy struck suffers Radiation Damage with a guaranteed Status Effect. Enemies affected by Radiation Status explode in a chain reaction.


Introduced in Update 35.0 (2023-12-13)

 Strength:2,500 / 5,000 / 7,500 / 10,000  Radiation total damage per second
200 / 300 / 400 / 500  Radiation base damage per explosion
100 / 150 / 200 / 250  Radiation extra damage per status
 Duration:N/A
 Range:40 m beam length
5 / 6 / 7 / 8 m explosion radius

Misc: 0.75 s casting time
2 s beam duration
Invulnerable and immobile while active
2 m beam cylindrical radius
10 beam ticks per second
0.10 s beam tick interval
 Radiation status per beam tick
∞ Punch Through vs. bodies
0.25-1.0 s explosion delay
Explosion chain reaction against irradiated enemies
+7 explosions per irradiated enemy in chain reaction
Explosion damage scaling from total stacks of  Radiation status per irradiated enemy on each chain reaction

Info

  • Qorvex expends 100 Energy to hunker down and expose his Crucible Core to concentrate its radioactive energy into a destructive beam. After stabilizing his balance for 0.75 seconds, from his chest cavity Qorvex fires a narrow radioactive beam with an invisible cylindrical radius of 2 meters, spanning a length of 40 meters, continuously for 2 seconds; during casting time and beam duration, Qorvex is Invulnerable and immobile, but able to aim the reticle with reduced camera panning speed and increased field-of-view to sweep the beam at multiple targets. While active, press the ability button again (default 4 ) to cancel the ability.
    • On cast while airborne, Qorvex loses all forward momentum and drops straight down to the ground. Aim Glide can be used for sustained aerial movement.
  • Crucible Blast's beam inflicts 2,500 / 5,000 / 7,500 / 10,000  Radiation total damage per second, divided into 10 damage ticks; each tick occurs every 0.10 seconds, inflicting 250 / 500 / 750 / 1,000 damage and a guaranteed  Radiation status effect onto all enemies directly struck by the beam and within its cylindrical radius.
    • Direct damage ticks by the beam itself is affected by Enemy Body Parts modifiers.
    • Beam appears to possess infinite Punch Through against enemy bodies, whereas against solid obstacles and terrain it benefits from Qorvex's Core Exposure passive.
  • Each enemy hit by Crucible Blast's beam will explode in a nuclear reaction spanning an 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meter radius after a variable delay between 0.25 to 1 second. Each explosion inflicts a base 200 / 300 / 400 / 500  Radiation damage, combined with an extra 100 / 150 / 200 / 250  Radiation damage multiplied by the number of  Radiation statuses on that enemy.
    • Explosion damage has damage falloff from the center of the explosion radius and bypasses line-of-sight to strike enemies through walls.
    • Explosions damage the original enemy and other enemies in range. When an explosion strikes other enemies affected by at least 1  Radiation status effect applied by weapons and abilities, a nuclear chain reaction occurs causing the irradiated enemies to also explode, except the originating enemy.
    • When two or more irradiated enemies explode near each other, each additional irradiated enemy in the chain reaction adds an extra 7 nuclear explosions until the reaction subsides. If the beam strikes only a single enemy, at least 2 explosions occur depending on how long the beam was sustained on the target.
    • Explosion damage between two or more irradiated enemies will continue to scale up. The number of active  Radiation statuses on the exploding enemy is added to the previous explosion's total statuses, then multiplied by the extra damage per Radiation status.
    • Once tagged for nuclear reaction, at least one explosion will occur if the irradiated enemy dies.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Qorvex's Core Exposure Passive grants Crucible Blast +3 Punch Through against solid obstacles and terrain, alongside the beam's innate infinite Punch Through against enemy bodies.
    •  Radiation status stacks from Qorvex's other abilities and Crucible Blast itself increase the chain reaction explosion damage.
    • Empower  Chyrinka Pillar by striking it with Crucible Blast's beam. Affected pillars remain empowered for 5 seconds, during which their radioactive cores glow brightly and the pulses hasten to emit once every 0.75 seconds.
      • When empowered by Crucible Blast, the Chyrinka Pillar's pulses inherit that ability's explosive chain reaction against irradiated enemies.
      • Empowered pillar duration cannot be refreshed, though Crucible Blast can infuse its chain reaction into an already empowered pillar mid-pulse.
    • Crucible Blast benefits from  Containment Wall aligning enemies into a straight line.
    • Crucible Blast's  Radiation status effects drastically increase  Disometric Guard's chance to gain status immunity stacks on kills and assists.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use the Punch Through properties of Crucible Blast to irradiate multiple enemies in a line, especially those slammed together by  Containment Wall.
    • Crucible Blast's beam is able to damage and destroy Nullifier Crewman's nullifier drone hovering above them with great efficiency.
    • Due to Qorvex's Core Exposure Passive, Crucible Blast's beam can bypass Arctic Eximus globes to directly damage the enemies shielded within.
  • Empower  Chyrinka Pillar by sweeping the beam over its structure or radioactive core. For multiple pillars, stand on top or near the first pillar then aim Crucible Blast at the second pillar. Both pillars become quickly empowered by proximity to the beam.
    • Damage from every pulse of an empowered Chyrinka Pillar will trigger a chain reaction explosion per enemy hit. Attempt to group as many enemies near the pillars as able before empowering them to maximize the nuclear destruction.
  • The scaling damage of the explosions depends on the stacks of  Radiation on the irradiated foes and the number of enemies in the explosion radius.

Hotfix 35.5.6 (2024-04-10)

Line Of Sight (Los) Improvements

As announced last week, we have revisited LoS checks on other Warframes to bring them in line with the new and improved version of Dante’s LoS added in Hotfix 35.5.4.

To reiterate, there are now two variations of LoS checking:

  1. The first type of check sees if any part of the enemy has been drawn on the screen, so that any part of an enemy, big or small, is considered visible/eligible to pass the LoS check.
  2. The second type of check is for enemies that are not on screen. We now check for LoS to the enemy's head, torso, and feet instead of only to their body which will increase reliability there as well.

For Abilities that hit enemies in a full circle around you, both checks are used: Once to evaluate enemies that you can see and then a second sweep to check targets to the sides and behind you that aren't visible.

The following Warframe abilities have received the aforementioned improvements:

  • Qorvex’s Chyrinka Pillar (Raycast Checks from top and center of pillar)

The above changes also tangentially fixes the issue of low FOV preventing LoS checks from occurring.
