All Dagath abilities in Warframe

Dagath is the 54th Warframe, and has a theme centered around the classic headless horseman figure, and she damages her enemies by inflicting them with a terrible sadness that saps their will to live. Her design is quite interesting, looking quite like a faceless cavalry rider in heavy armor.

All Dagath abilities in Warframe

• Passive: Abundant Abyss – Dagath feeds from the soul of the deceased. She has a low chance of making Energy or Health orbs she picks up 3x as effective.
• Wyrd Scythes – Dagath creates spectral sickles that rotate and expand around her, doing Viral Damage on enemies that get hit and slowing them. If a spectral sickle hits an enemy affected by Phantom Wrath, it refreshes the curse duration and applies the curse to nearby enemies.
• Doom – Conjures spectral energy from her faceless head that rapidly expands in a cone, inflicting low damage and cursing the enemies with Phantom Wrath. Phantom Wrath curse can stack with multiple casts of Doom and will do multiple damage instances while active. This will be indicated by the sickle icon above your enemy’s head.
• Grave Spirit – Dagath gains increased Critical Damage on all her weapons and gains protection from the spectral realm. When she receives a fatal blow, she will immediately go into her spectral form and will evade all incoming attacks for a short duration. On exiting her Spectral Form, Grave Spirit will enter a cooldown before it can be cast again.
• Rakhali’s Cavalry – Summon five spectral horses that travel forward at a high pace and ram on the enemies, inflicting massive Viral damage. If Phantom Wrath is active, horses strip the target’s defenses on each damage instance.

Dagath’s signature weapon is Dorrclave, a whip and blade melee weapon. It has been a while since these were truly meta (I am sure many of us remember the Atterax spin-to-win days), so it will be interesting to see how it fits into the game. After twenty kills or assists, Dorrclave enters a spectral state that doubles weapon follow-through and guarantees Status Effects for the next 20 attacks. When being used by Dagath, each active Status Effect heals her slightly, although this does not apply to other Warframes.

Dagath will arrive in Warframe on October 18, giving us yet another Warframe to experiment with. It’s honestly difficult at this point to know what kind of impact a new Warframe will have on the meta, as some will read well on paper but just fall apart when you get them into the game.

I do suspect that Dagath will be a popular choice due to the focus on Viral damage, which has been a very strong elemental damage type for some time now. Add in that for many players, the new meta is one based around a vast array of enemy times on Steel Path Duviri, and Viral is definitely the way to go. The real test will be survivability.
