Understand Reflex Guard
Useful when…
- Use when you block regularly and want the listed Combo Count Chance bonus during blocking.
- Consider it for a Warframe setup where maintaining or building combo while blocking is useful.
Effect and trigger
Reflex Guard is a standard Warframe mod with Vazarin polarity and a maximum rank of 10. It grants +9.1% Combo Count Chance while Blocking at rank 0, +54.5% at rank 5, and +100% at rank 10. The bonus is conditional on blocking; the description does not specify an automatic parry effect.
Use and slot choice
It uses a standard Warframe mod slot and is relevant when blocking is part of the setup. Its listed benefit concerns combo count chance while blocking, so it is not a general mobility or airborne survival bonus. Decide whether that conditional benefit merits the slot alongside the other Warframe mods you want.
Rank investment
The provided examples list 30 Endo and 1,449 credits for 0→1, 960 Endo and 46,368 credits for 5→6, and 15,360 Endo and 741,888 credits for 9→10. Since the last ranks have high listed costs, an intermediate rank may be a resource-conscious choice if its lower Combo Count Chance is sufficient for your use. The supplied source entries include Corrupted Moa and Duviri Endless rewards.
Related mods with different roles
Flawed Reflection reflects a listed portion of damage taken when blocking attacks while channeling; it has a different effect and is incompatible with standard Reflection, not Reflex Guard. Aero Vantage reduces gravity while aim gliding, and Agility Drift reduces airborne damage and enemy accuracy under its stated conditions. These Exilus mods serve mobility or defensive roles distinct from Reflex Guard's standard-slot combo chance.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The bonus only applies while blocking.
- High-rank fusion costs are substantial in the supplied examples.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading the name as an automatic-parry effect; the listed bonus is Combo Count Chance while blocking.
- Treating its bonus as unconditional or as damage mitigation.
