Assassin Posture GUIDE
Understand Assassin Posture
Useful when…
- Directing a companion toward Eximus and other high-ranking enemies.
- Increasing the companion’s damage against Overguard.
Behavior and Overguard bonus
The stance tells the companion to prioritize Eximus and other high-ranking enemies. Its Overguard Damage bonus is +75% at rank 0 and +300% at rank 3. The target-priority instruction is distinct from the Overguard bonus.
Rank and mod details
Assassin Posture is a standard Claws mod with Penjaga polarity, maximum rank 3, and base drain -2. The listed rank 2-to-3 fusion step costs 40 Endo and 1,932 Credits.
Other companion behaviors
Protector Posture directs attacks toward enemies within 15 m of the Warframe and applies Puncture status effects. Balanced Posture lets the companion act freely and staggers enemies within 2 m while moving. Elusive Posture makes the companion avoid attacking and grants +50% Evasion; each describes a different companion behavior.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The stance prioritizes Eximus and other high-ranking enemies, which may differ from the target you want the companion to attack.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not assume the companion will prioritize the nearest enemy; the stance specifies Eximus and other high-ranking enemies.
