The Helminth System, unlocked after completing the 'Heart of Deimos' quest, allows for unprecedented customization of your Warframes. By installing the Helminth Segment in your Orbiter, you can subsume (sacrifice) a Warframe to extract one of its abilities. This extracted ability can then be infused onto any other Warframe, replacing one of its existing abilities.
Key Features:
- Subsuming Warframes: Each Warframe can only be subsumed once. This destroys the Warframe, so ensure you have a duplicate or are willing to lose it.
- Infusing Abilities: You can replace any of a Warframe's four abilities with a subsumed ability. This costs resources and requires a cooldown.
- Helminth Abilities: In addition to subsumed abilities, the Helminth also offers a rotating set of its own unique abilities that can be infused.
- Helminth Segment Upgrades: Further upgrades to the Helminth Segment unlock more slots, reduce cooldowns, and provide other quality-of-life improvements.
The Helminth System opens up a vast array of build possibilities, allowing you to create truly unique Warframe combinations and optimize for specific roles or playstyles. Experiment with different ability infusions to discover powerful synergies.
