Understand Handspring
Useful when…
- Shorten the recovery from knockdowns.
- Use when knockdown recovery is a more useful Exilus-slot choice than another effect.
Effect and slot
Handspring is a Warframe Exilus mod with Naramon polarity and 6 base drain. It provides +40% faster knockdown recovery at rank 0, +120% at rank 2, and +160% at rank 3. It addresses knockdown recovery; the listed effect does not provide stagger recovery or knockdown immunity.
Ranks and costs
The three fusion steps cost 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits, 60 Endo and 2,898 Credits, then 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits. Higher ranks increase recovery speed, so invest in them when the benefit is worth the additional fusion cost and capacity.
Related recovery effects
Constitution provides +40% faster knockdown recovery and +28% Ability Duration, but it is a standard-slot mod with 10 base drain. Pain Threshold is an Exilus mod for +160% faster stagger recovery, which concerns stagger rather than knockdown. Anticipation is a Conclave Exilus mod that grants additional immunity time after being knocked down or staggered; it is not the same recovery-speed effect.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The mod occupies an Exilus slot and costs 6 base drain.
- It speeds recovery after a knockdown but does not list stagger recovery or immunity.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating faster knockdown recovery as knockdown prevention or stagger recovery.
- Overlooking that Constitution uses a standard slot while Handspring is Exilus.
