Understand Anticipation
Useful when…
- Conclave situations where additional knockdown and stagger immunity immediately after those effects matters.
Effect and timing
This Conclave Warframe Exilus mod has Vazarin polarity and base drain 6. At rank 0 it adds one second of immunity after being knocked down and one second after being staggered. At rank 3, each additional immunity window is four seconds. The effect is tied to having just experienced the corresponding event.
Rank costs and slot
The mod has three ranks; the listed rank 0-to-1 upgrade costs 20 Endo and 966 Credits, while rank 2-to-3 costs 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits. It occupies an Exilus slot, so consider its situational protection against another Exilus option for the build.
Other defensive effects differ
Armored Recovery grants damage resistance when knocked down and reduces Slide. Coaction Drift increases Aura benefits. Constitution grants faster knockdown recovery and Ability Duration. These do not provide the same additional post-knockdown and post-stagger immunity windows.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its benefit depends on being knocked down or staggered first.
- Uses the Exilus slot and has base drain 6.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating Anticipation as preventing the initial knockdown or stagger.
- Assuming knockdown recovery or damage resistance provides the same immunity effect.
