Warframe Guide | How to Play & Master Voruna

A dominant force among Warframes, Voruna specializes in triggering debilitating status effects and annihilating groups with explosive area attacks. Whether dominating enemies at close range or systematically weakening them from afar, her adaptability supports diverse combat strategies.

This breakdown explores her full arsenal, from innate traits to ultimate techniques. Key modifiers and loadout configurations for all stages of progression will be examined, alongside strategies to optimize survivability and offensive output.

Passive: Wolves of Fortune

Four spectral lupine companions embody Voruna’s passive versatility. Each correlates with an active ability and can be selected by holding the corresponding skill button. Only one benefit is active simultaneously:

Shroud of Dynar: Boosts movement agility during parkour maneuvers by half.

Fangs of Rash: Grants complete resistance to status ailments and debilitating effects.

Ly’s Hunt: Enhances heavy melee efficiency by 90%, regardless of displayed values.

Ulfrun’s Descent: Prevents fatal damage once per minute, triggering health/shield restoration and 3-second invulnerability.

Ability 1: Shroud of Dynar

This skill cloaks Voruna and companions for 3 seconds, doubling movement speed. Invisibility breaks when attacking, but melee strikes gain guaranteed critical and status procs with 2× crit damage. Kills extend the effect duration by 1s, capping at 8s. Ideal for hit-and-run assaults or evading threats.

Ability 2: Fangs of Rash

Launch toward enemies to inflict 10 stacks of five random status effects. Target elimination spreads these conditions in amplified radii. Combines perfectly with area-control weapons and status-focused builds.

Augment: Prey of Dynar

Highlights priority targets during invisibility. Eliminating marked foes with Fangs of Rash triples status spread range relative to ability range stats.

Ability 3: Ly’s Hunt

Sustains resources through melee and precision kills. Health orbs drop from close-range eliminations, energy from headshots. Maintaining five active statuses on enemies extends ability duration.

Ability 4: Ulfrun’s Descent

Unleash five devastating pounce attacks causing massive Slash damage. Kills recharge uses, while nearby enemies suffer staggered Slash procs. Combines with Shroud’s buffs for catastrophic critical hits.

Augment: Ulfrun’s Endurance

Enhances Ulfrun’s sustainability—nearby deaths from Slash effects replenish ability charges, enabling extended onslaughts.

Survival Tactics

Mitigate fragility via shield modulation (Adaptation, Rolling Guard) and Ulfrun’s passive fail-safe. Azure Archon Shards replenish shields, while ability timing prevents overlapping buff expiration.

Combat Flow

Initiate engagements with cloaked positioning, mark priority targets, then alternate between status priming and lethal pounces. Maintain Ly’s Hunt for resources and exploit Ulfrun’s charges during critical moments.

Optimized Configurations

Starter Setup: Emphasize shield recovery and energy management. Incorporate Equilibrium and basic survivability mods for early-game viability.

Advanced Loadouts: Specialize with negative-duration builds for ability synergy, or maximize range/damage for Ulfrun specialization. Archon Shards boost casting speed and shield sustainability.

Specializations

Bladed Combat: Replace ultimate with mobility powers, stacking Condition Overload modifiers for relentless melee pressure.

Ultimate Spam: Amplify Ulfrun’s uptime through augment synergy and efficiency mods, prioritizing range for crowd devastation.

Ranged Hybrid: Combine status firearms with Fangs of Rash for widespread debilitation, using shield mechanics for protection.
