Understand Undying Will
Useful when…
- Extend the bleedout window after being downed.
- Consider as a recovery-focused mod when its slot and capacity fit.
Effect and ranks
Undying Will is a standard Warframe mod with Vazarin polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 5. Its Bleedout Reduction progresses from +7% at rank 0 to +28% at rank 3 and +42% at rank 5. The listed effect concerns bleedout timing; it does not say that the mod prevents a knockdown or heals the Warframe.
Fusion tradeoff
Example fusion costs are 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits for rank 0→1; 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits for 2→3; and 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits for 4→5. Each rank improves the reduction, so the last ranks make sense when the longer bleedout window matters enough to justify the added cost.
Related choices
Provoked and Flawed Provoked apply damage bonuses during bleedout: they affect damage in that state, while Undying Will reduces bleedout reduction. Adaptation instead builds resistance to a damage type after being damaged, up to 90% according to its description. These effects address different circumstances rather than serving as direct replacements.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The benefit applies to bleedout timing, not to avoiding a down or restoring health.
- Higher ranks cost more Endo and Credits for a benefit tied to the downed state.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting Bleedout Reduction to prevent being downed or to restore health.
