Unlocking Jade

Released June 18, 2024, Jade is acquired through the Jade Shadows quest (accessible via the Codex). Her components are obtained from Acension on Brutus, Uranus. Alternatively, purchase her blueprint and component blueprints from Ordis in the Larunda Relay on Mercury using Vestigial Motes. Resource requirements are summarized below:

Gameplay Overview

Jade's gameplay is straightforward. Select a song (second ability), slow enemies and reduce their defenses (third ability), mark targets (first ability), and unleash devastating aerial attacks (fourth ability's alt-fire). Efficient energy management and damage mitigation are crucial. The builds below address these concerns.

Beginner Jade Build

This build avoids Helminth abilities and Archon shards, making it accessible to new players. Note that Jade equips two Aura mods.

For Glory (Jade's exalted weapon), use standard pistol mods focusing on damage, critical chance, multishot, and fire rate. Add elemental or faction mods based on enemy type.

Steel Path Jade Build

This build utilizes Arcanes (Molt Augmented for ability power, Arcane Avenger for critical hits) and focuses on survivability and damage output.

Glory's build remains a standard pistol build, adaptable to enemy types.

All Jade Abilities

• Passive – The Anointed: Two Aura Mod slots.
• Light’s Judgement: Healing well for allies, damaging enemies.
• Symphony of Mercy: Three songs boosting allies (Power of the Seven, Deathbringer, Spirit of Resilience).
• Ophanim Eyes: Slows and de-armors enemies; revives allies from a distance.
• Glory on High: Aerial attacks; alt-fire detonates Judgments.

Warframe is available now.
