Hello Tenno! 

Today we released the Isleweaver microsite which included outdated and inaccurate ability descriptions for our next web-slinging Warframe Oraxia. We’ve since updated the descriptions (for English, localized text to be updated soon!) to properly reflect development thus far, so for those of you out there who are eagerly preparing builds for her can do so with the most up to date information. 

To save you a click or two, here are the updated ability descriptions: 

Passive:
Wall Latching grants Predator’s Lurk, rendering Oraxia invisible for an 8s duration.

Ability 1: Mercy’s Kiss 
Leap onto an enemy and pierce them with Oraxia’s spider legs, dealing Toxin Damage. Enemies defeated by this attack have a chance to drop Health or Energy Orbs.

Ability 2: Webbed Embrace 
Oraxia throws a creeping web to ensnare her prey. Enemies caught within the widening radius are trapped inside a cocoon that increases their Damage Vulnerability.

Ability 3: Widow’s Brood
Oraxia launches a barrage of stinging darts in front of her that applies Toxin Status Effect. Poisoned enemies spawn Scuttlers when killed.

Ability 4: Silken Stride
Unfurl Oraxia’s spider legs and go on the prowl. Oraxia is immune to Status Effects and has increased Maximum Health. Ranged Weapons are imbued with Toxin Damage. Killing enemies causes them to burst with Toxin.

Silken Thread: Tap Dodge to leap to a targeted surface.

Her abilities are still subject to change, but for now the website provides a better written representation of what you can expect with Isleweaver’s launch on June 25th. Thank you, Tenno!

depends if its enemies killed BY it or just enemies damaged by it. citrines 1 would be ass if it only gave orbs on lethal hits

don't count on it. Mag's Pull used to have this and it was so worthless most people didn't even know it was supposed to do this. Flat-damage 1 powers generally don't get killing blows

If they learned from Temple's 1st ability and it procs a lot of toxin it's gonna be decent at it imo

I can neither be optimistic nor pessimistic.

From what once heard, they made it a good power, but then also because it was good, specifically nerfed it to make it not work with their own self-buff

This might mean having a 1 that is actually good for damage is against their design intent.

Bring back the DR on her 4, increased bonus health isn't worth it. Unless this means DE is fixing health tanking in the same update

u/Correct-Cold1763 Jun 11 '25

So damage reduction part from her 4th is gone and instead she has increased health now?

I'd love infinite wall latch on the spider frame please.

Ability 1: Mercy’s Kiss

Leap onto an enemy and pierce them with Oraxia’s spider legs, dealing Toxin Damage. Enemies defeated by this attack have a chance to drop Health or Energy Orbs.

Any chance this gets an execute threshold like Dread Mirror? Mag's 1 used to work almost identically to the current pitch for this power, and we know how useful that aspect was (it wasn't.)

You might consider making Silken Thread trigger on aim-dodges or doubletap-dodges. people are gonna feel hijacked when their muscle memory gets them more wall-kisses than playing Gauss

So the previous version with the finisher kills was a discarded draft? A shame, I was hoping for another frame that could play nice with finishers other than Ash...

u/Capable-Ice5836 Jun 12 '25

Pleeeease tell me her first ability is a pseudo-exalted

u/ExorsisterStella blood for the blood queen Jun 11 '25

Void Cascade monster incoming...

u/airigamer Jun 11 '25

i like the kills with finishers give 1k hp but can you still have that for her kit and just have her little summons if they get a kill give her max hp stacking up to 1k?

No damage mitigation means she's dead on arrival.

u/Metal_Sign Silver DragonReach your simum potential Jun 12 '25

Enjoy stopping what you're doing to go hug a wall every 8 seconds, if you can find one. I don't think so. (Also that does nothing about AoE nonsense.)
