Understand Flawed Stretch
Useful when…
- Use when additional ability range is useful but a lower-drain mod is easier to fit.
- Replace or compare it with standard Stretch when a larger range bonus is worth the capacity.
Effect and progression
Flawed Stretch gives +5% Ability Range at rank 0, +15% at rank 2, and +20% at rank 3. It affects ability range; no ability-specific outcome or range formula is provided.
Slot fit and alternatives
This flawed Warframe mod has Naramon polarity, base drain 2, and a standard slot. It is listed as incompatible with both Stretch and Archon Stretch. Standard Stretch offers up to +45% range with base drain 4, while Archon Stretch lists the same maximum range plus energy regeneration under its Electricity-damage condition. Those alternatives have different capacity and effect details.
Rank investment
Successive ranks cost 20, 40, and 80 Endo, plus 966, 1,932, and 3,864 Credits. The maximum rank is 3. Rank it as far as the added range justifies the resources; the listed effect remains below standard Stretch's maximum, and the input does not provide exact drain at each rank.
Limits and common mistakes
This is an Ability Range mod, not damage resistance. Adaptation's listed resistance effect activates after taking damage and addresses a different purpose. Avoid trying to combine the flawed variant with either of the two listed range alternatives, since each is explicitly named as incompatible.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The lower base drain comes with a lower maximum range bonus than standard Stretch.
- It cannot be equipped with Stretch or Archon Stretch.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming Flawed Stretch can be equipped alongside Stretch or Archon Stretch.
- Expecting the flawed variant to reach the standard mod's 45% range bonus.
