Jade is a Warframe that resembles a scribe, who composes arcane tales from Leverian lore as a way to bring devastation upon his enemies and support his allies.
This Warframe provides both offense and support during missions, capable of killing several enemies in a single blow within a large area or preventing allies from taking damage.
By utilizing three verses, which rely on each other to determine what effects happen while Jade engages his enemies.
How To Get Jade?
1) Jade Shadows (Quest)
Introduced along with Jade, the Jade Shadows quest may be completed to obtain the Jade Blueprint, allowing you to craft the Warframe.
This still requires that you find her components first, which can be done in two different ways that were introduced in Update 36.0 along with Jade.
2) Ascension (Brutus, Uranus)
Doing the Ascension game mode on Brutus in Uranus provides you with a chance to obtain the Jade Neuroptics, Jade Chassis, and Jade Systems.
These will have a 5% chance to be rewarded upon completing a run of the Ascension game mode, which was introduced along with Jade and the other new features in the update.
3) Release Vestigial Motes (Larunda Relay, Mercury)
For those who have done the Ascension game mode, Vestigial Motes will be rewarded at the end and these can be used to purchase items from Ordis at the Larunda Relay.
The Larunda Relay can be found in Mercury and you can easily fast travel to Ordis and view the different items that he has for sale.
Vestigial Motes may be used to purchase the Jade Blueprint (if you need another one) for 450 while her component blueprints may be purchased for 150 each.

Jade Abilities
Jade is capable of supporting her allies and dealing damage to her enemies as her abilities can heal, damage, apply buffs and even unleash her Judgements on enemies.
Below is a list of the abilities that Jade has as well as the stats for their maximum ranks:
Passive
Jade has two slots for Aura Mods and may apply Judgments to enemies when using certain abilities, which increases their damage vulnerability by 50% for 10 seconds.
1) Light’s Judgement
Jade creates a well of light that is shown by a circle on the ground, which heals allies and damages enemies who are standing inside of it.
Enemies that enter well created by Light’s Judgement will be marked by Judgements, which can be used in different ways.
Stat | Amount | Affected By |
| Drain | 25 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
| Radius | 6 Meters | Ability Range |
| Duration | 10 Seconds | Ability Duration |
| Damage / Second | 500 Heat | Ability Strength |
| Health / Second | 8% | Ability Strength |
| Max Light’s Judgement | 5 | N/A |
2) Symphony of Mercy
Allows Jade to cycle between three songs which she can use to provide buffs to her allies depending on which song is chosen.
When enemies that are surrounded by Judgements are killed, the durations of the songs that are active will be extended.
Stat | Amount | Affected By |
| Drain | 50 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
| Duration | 30 Seconds | Ability Duration |
| Duration Increase / Judgement | 2 Seconds | N/A |
The following are the songs and their buffs:
Stat | Amount | Affected By |
| Power of the Seven | 25 Ability Strength | Ability Strength |
| Deathbringer | 100% Damage Increase | Ability Strength |
| Spirit of Resilience | 10% Shields / Second -10% Shield Recharge Delay | Ability Strength |
3) Ophanim Eyes
Jade unleashes a gaze in front of her that slows down nearby enemies and dissolves their Shields and Armor until the end of the ability’s duration.
When allies are bleeding out in a mission, they can be revived from a distance if Jade’s gaze comes in contact with them.
Stat | Amount | Affected By |
| Drain | 50 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
| Range | 20 Meters | Ability Range |
| Duration | 30 Seconds | Ability Duration |
| Damage | 50 Heat | Ability Strength |
| Defense Reduction / Second | 10% | Ability Strength |
| Slow / Second | 15% | N/A |
| Slow Cap | 90% | N/A |
| Angle | 70 Degrees | N/A |
4) Glory On High
Jade soars into the air to unleash her destructive power on her enemies, which also lets her detonate Judgements to create an explosion of Jade Light.
Enemies within the Light’s Judgement radius will empower the explosion from this as well, giving her more ways to defeat enemies.
While Glory on High is active, Jade will be using Glory, a weapon hidden within her robes around her belly to unleash powerful attacks as she levitates.
Stat | Amount | Affected By |
| Drain | 25 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
| Drain / Second | 5 Energy | Ability Duration/Ability Efficiency |
| Alternate Fire Drain | 25 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
| Radius | 2 Meters | Ability Range |
| Damage | 150 Heat | Ability Strength |
| Alternate Fire | 1,500 Heat | Ability Strength |
| Alternate Fire Radius | 4 Meters | Ability Range |
| Empowered Range Multiplier | 1.5x | |
| Judgement Chance | 10% | |
| Damage Reduction | 35% | Ability Strength |
Jade Strategy
Jade can be used in several ways but the use of her Light’s Judgment and Symphony of Mercy often acts as a good way to support your allies.
Increasing the range of Light’s Judgement is great for controlling spots and defeating enemies but this isn’t the only thing, it is also great for creating safe zones to heal allies.
Ophanim Eyes is great for when you are fighting multiple and/or tough enemies as this does not only weaken them, it also slows them, allowing your allies to attack them easily.
The use of Glory on High will give Jade a great way to stay away from a fight while also being able to deal damage to enemies.
Verdict
Jade has been created as a seemingly all-around Warframe that provides a good amount of support when it comes to team play.
Her ability to heal herself and her allies makes her a good choice for missions that are hard or when you are with allies that can easily be downed.
When used in a mission, Jade can be more than just a Warframe for support, she can annihilate her enemies within seconds due to her sheer power.
