Understand Magnetic Claws
Useful when…
- Use it on compatible Claws when adding Magnetic and extending status duration is useful.
- Compare its paired effect with other Claws mods when deciding whether elemental damage, status duration, or a specific status-trigger condition is more relevant.
Effects and compatibility
At rank 0, Magnetic Claws gives +15% Magnetic and +10% Status Duration; at rank 3, it gives +60% and +40%. It is a standard Claws mod with Madurai polarity and base drain 4. It modifies companion Claws rather than a Warframe or Rifle.
When its paired bonuses help
The combination is relevant when a Claws setup values Magnetic and longer status duration. The listed duration bonus does not establish a particular status effect or guarantee that an effect will be applied; it improves duration as stated. A different mod may be more suitable if you need a specific trigger or other behavior.
Rank and capacity tradeoffs
The listed rank-up costs are 30, 60, then 120 Endo and 1,449, 2,898, then 5,796 Credits. Both bonuses rise to their listed maximum at rank 3. It occupies a standard Claws slot; weigh the added benefits against mod capacity and competing Claws options.
How the listed alternatives differ
Frenzied Posture lists +80% Status Duration and a preference to change target after each attack, but it does not list Magnetic. Magnetic Strike applies a Magnetic status effect when an Impact status effect is inflicted, so its effect has that stated condition. Bell Ringer says melee attacks knock down enemies and apply +4 Impact Status Effects. These have distinct behaviors and do not automatically replace Magnetic Claws' paired bonuses.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Maximum rank improves both listed bonuses but costs Endo and Credits and uses standard Claws capacity.
- Its Magnetic bonus and duration bonus may not meet a build's needs if it instead requires a specific conditional status effect or knockdown behavior.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not confuse the generic Status Duration bonus with a guaranteed status application.
- Do not install this Claws mod on a Warframe or ordinary weapon.
