Biblically accurate angel, the singing executioner, warframe pregnancies confirmed? - Jade!

Release date: 2024-06-18

Passive: Jade possess two aura slots. Enemies that enter Light's Judgment well and Glory on High's primary fire at a 10% chance are afflicted with the Judgement debuff, applying 50% Damage Vulnerability lasting for 10 seconds.
Light's Judgment - Create a well of light that heals allies and hurts enemies. Those who enter the well will be highlighted by Judgments.
Symphony of Mercy - Cycle through three songs that strengthen allies. Power of The Seven increases Ability Strength. Deathbringer increases Weapon Damage. Spirit of Resilience increases Shield Effectiveness. Extend the duration of each song by killing enemies surrounded by Judgments.
Ophanim Eyes - Jade summons an accusatory gaze that slows nearby enemies and dissolves their Shields and Armor. When the gaze falls upon allies, they can be revived from a distance.
Glory on High - Soar with destructive power. Use alternate-fire to detonate Judgments, causing an explosion of Jade Light. Enemies inside the Light's Judgment radius empower the explosion.

Acquisition: Main blueprint is acquired upon completion of the Jade Shadows quest. Component blueprints are obtained from Ascension on Brutus, Uranus, at a 5% drop rate.

Pretty fun warframe, I find Hildryn more effective for the Gunship style of play (Mass CC and launching nukes) but Jade is definetaly easier to play when I just want to relax without thinking about my energy economy.
While her quest has some... questionable implications, Jade herself is nothing but a stellar frame! Float around blasting enemies while having around 90% damage reduction, slow and armor strip anything you look at and give your allies and yourself some power strength or weapon damage. All around good stuff! Her flight is also way more controllable and comfortable than Titania, so if you don't want wall-clipping levels of speed this frame can be your "need to gather stuff from the air" frame instead!
- Mommy Warframe 10/10
- According to the wiki the flying dmg reduction caps at 50%
  
  The base resistance from the ability does, but add to that Aviator, Boreal's Hatred and the Aerodynamic aura and you are approaching 90% damage reduction while airborne, which you are most of the time as Jade.
She's a well rounded frame (heh) that can do a little bit of everything pretty well! I like her but honestly I was more interested in her angelic theme than the ... other one... so I can't say I'm a bit fan of it, hoping for a deluxe skin with a drastic change one of these days. But gameplay-wise she is pretty good, the only issue I have is the similar one I have with dante and hildryn and that is that I don't understand and know how to build those exalted weapons so they always end up feeling very weak and superfluous.
- I just run the standard "every normal secondary in the game build" with multishot, crit mods and the 60/60 toxic/cold mods + primed heat mod. The only change is Hornet Strike is replaced with Anemic Agility, her 2 already gives you the same additive damage increase that mod does and Glory doesn't use ammo so fire rate is just a pure DPS increase on her.
I see a lot of people build her exalted for fire rate but I think the alt fire build is way more fun and strong.
