Warframe Jade build guide: Eyes in the Sky, Fire in her Glory

Jade, the 57th unique Warframe, is here with her flexible repertoire of both support and damage skills, and, more importantly, two Aura slots. In terms of utility, she offers a lot of the same things Wisp brings to the table: healing for days, enemy Damage Vulnerability, and ways to gain durability.

In this Jade build guide, we will go over how to bolster these aspects into one versatile setup. Note that this Warframe has a lot of avenues you can specialize in, especially with Helminth abilities. However, for this build guide, we are going for a durability-first approach to make Jade the Aura bot she was meant to be.

Warframe Jade build for tanking and Glory DPS (2/3-Forma)

Generally, Jade's kit works the best if you stay in the Glory on High mode (fourth ability) indefinitely. Her kit has a lot of innate synergies, meaning it works best when you sacrifice none of them for a Helminth slot.

To use her entire skillset, you cannot treat any Ability modifier as a dump stat. Keeping the Ability Range at 100% works just fine, so for this build, we pump up Ability Strength (for higher damage and better buffs) and Ability Duration (for better quality of life).

Glory on High gives Jade some flat damage mitigation that stacks with Adaptation. For good measure, we have added Aerodynamic and Aviator for the highest amount of damage reduction possible on this Jade build. You can replace the former with another aura mod if durability is less of a concern.

Mods used

• Aura 1: Corrosive Projection/Growing Power
• Aura 2: Aerodynamic
• Exlius Slot: Aviator
• Blind Rage (or Transient Fortitude)
• Streamline
• Adaptation
• Primed Continuity
• Archon Vitality
• Equilibrium
• Precision Intensify (or Archon Intensify)

Arcanes and supplements

For this Jade build, we will employ Molt Augmented and Arcane Energize (at least Rank 3). However, if you are not using Blind Rage, the latter can be replaced with Arcane Avenger for some more Glory DPS.

Glory itself has no Arcanes. However, you can use Cascadia Flare on your regular secondary, which is activated through Heat procs from Exalted secondaries. Since you are unable to change equipment during Glory on High, you cannot make much use of heat-inherit build shenanigans here.

Glory build (Jade's Exalted Secondary): 5-Forma

Viral-Heat Glory build (Image via Overframe)

We use a standard Viral + Heat for this Glory build, as Ophanim's eyes already take care of armor reduction. The following mods are used:

• Hornet Strike
• Galvanized Diffusion
• Pistol Pestilence
• Frostbite
• Primed Heated Charge
• Creeping Bullseye
• Primed Target Cracker
• Lethal Torrent

Note that Blast builds are also a viable way to deal area damage after the status effect rework in Jade Shadows. For that, you have to replace Primed Heated Charge with Frostbite and replace Frostbite with Jolt. You will also need to remove Archon Vitality from the Jade build, as you are veering away from the Heat damage.
