Understand Armored Recovery
Useful when…
- Adding resistance during the knocked-down state.
Effect and condition
At maximum rank, this Conclave Exilus Warframe mod gives +50% damage resistance when knocked down and -20% slide. At rank 0 it gives +12.5% resistance and -5% slide. It does not prevent knockdowns; its resistance applies when the knocked-down condition occurs.
Ranking and slot
It has Vazarin polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. The listed rank 2-to-3 step costs 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits. The defensive bonus is conditional, so rank it when that condition and the slide penalty fit your intended use.
Other knockdown-related options
Anticipation extends knockdown and stagger immunity after being knocked down or staggered; it addresses follow-up control rather than granting resistance while down. Adaptation builds resistance to the damage type that hits you. Air Thrusters is a movement mod with an airborne slide-boost effect and mobility penalty, not a defensive substitute.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The defense is conditional on being knocked down.
- Reduces slide by up to 20%.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not mistake damage resistance while knocked down for knockdown immunity.
