Warframe Chroma Abilities
Click to enlargeThe Chroma Warframe takes some inspiration from the look of samurais and features a vibrant red colour scheme. It also comes with a tonne of additional cosmetics for changing the overall look of the suit and its helmet, with some highlights being the Drac Helmet, Kaiju Helmet, Immortal Skin, Graxx Skin, and Dynasty Wings.
Chroma has two main passives: one lets him gain an extra midair jump and bullet jump, while the other lets him alter the elemental effects of abilities by changing the primary emission colour in the Appearance page for your Warframe. This allows you to really specialise your Chroma character and change what elements you'll need depending on the mission and enemies.
The Chroma abilities are:
- Spectral Scream - Exhale a deep breath of elemental destruction. Tap to cycle through elements and hold to cast.
- Elemental Ward - Depending on the elemental effect in use, cast an area-of-effect to deal damage and increase the defense of yourself and nearby allies.
- Vex Armour - When shields are hit, Chroma and nearby allies' armour grows stronger, and if your health is hit, you'll gain increased weapon damage.
- Effigy - Chroma turns his pelt into a massive sentry that increases ally strength and deals massive elemental damage.
