Once you have a Tektolyst artifact in Warframe, you can integrate a whole new suite of mods. These boost various stats of your operator/drifter and amp, from base durability and damage to more specialized items like jump height. In total, The Old Peace update added 25 new Tektolyst Artifact mods (found in the mod menu under the new “Antique” category).
You can get all of these Tektolyst Artifact mods as random drops on enemies in Perita Rebellion missions.
Every New Tektolyst Artifact Mod in Warframe and What They Do
Tektolyst Artifact mods are categorized according to the five Focus schools, with five mods aligned to each school. The functionality of this lies in the bonuses from various combinations of mods. Some of these mods get additional cumulative bonuses if you combine them with mods from other Focus schools or its own school.
So here’s what each of the Tektolyst Artifact mods does, in order of the school they’re aligned to:
Madurai
- Sil-Tabol: +60% chance of amp status. +15% status damage for each Vazarin School module.
- Ubri-Kaneph: +60% damage to amps. +10% bonus for each Mod of a unique school.
- Hayan-Dabor: +60% multishot amp.
- Vikla-Safar: +30% rate of fire in amps. +30% amp ammo effectiveness.
Naramon
- Omni-Evi: +60% amp critical chance. +10% Amp Critical Damage for each Zenurik School module.
- Weather-Erun: Increase Operator sprint speed by 30%. +5% bonus for each Mod of a unique school.
- Evir-Ti: +60% operator jump height.
- Hok-Kaal: After using Void Mode, the next Amp attack deals x3.0 bonus damage (5s cooldown).
no sign
- Vik-Anam: +30% maximum amp energy. +5% amp energy regeneration rate for each Madurai School module.
- Empazu-Shol: +12% Tauron initial strike charge. +2% bonus for each Mod of a unique school.
- Esti Vel-Ikha: Increased Void Sling’s maximum distance by 30%. +10% Void Sling radius for each module of a unique school.
- Sey-Taph: +30% effectiveness of the Void Sling.
Vazarin
- Da-Ren: +300 Operator Shields. +30 bonus for each Unairu School mod.
- Metem-Hakh: +30% operator health and shields. +5% bonus for each Mod of a Unique School.
- Lorun-Tash: +400 Operator Armor.
- Yar Dal: +300 Operator Health.
Unairu
- Kaal-Zidi: +30% Vacuum Mode efficiency. +5% movement speed in Void mode for each Naramon School module
- Lashta-Vak: Void Sling shatters containers within 12m. Bonus of +2 million for each Mod of a unique school.
- Talsek-An: Gain immunity to knockdown. When the knockdown is blocked, enter Void Mode for 3s (cooldown 7.5s).
- Ulashta-Shol: -60% Static transfer duration.
While you can’t focus farming on any of them, Mary of the Cathedral will sometimes sell a specific one in exchange for resources from Perita Rebellion.
Best Tektalyst Artifact DPS mod build in Warframe
Crucially, the Tektolyst artifact only has five mod slots, giving you incentive to either stack mods from one school or go for variety. In most cases when using Drifter/Operator, it’s all about dealing as much burst DPS as possible. To that end, here is the best gear I can think of:
- Hayan Dabor: In my book, this is essential, because Amp Multishot is not an easy stat to find.
- Omni-Evi: Even if you use Madurai, the downtime between your abilities makes Amp Critical Chance a decent stat.
- Hip-Cousel: I haven’t tested how this interacts with beam projectiles (Klamora Prism), but a 3x damage increase is hard to pass up. This makes Phahd Scaffold much better, for example. This is also a Naramon mod, so you get an additional +10% amp crit chance.
- Vik-Anam: Overall, good quality of life statistic for using the amp.
- Lashta-Vak: It’s not DPS, but it gives you one of the most premium stats in Warframe since the slam attack nerf: container break effectiveness. If you want to go all out for DPS, go for Ubri-Kaneph for just some extra base damage.
How to equip Tektolyst Artifact mods in Warframe?
To start using Tektolyst mods, you will first need to obtain a Tektolyst artifact. As expected, there are five, one aligned with each school. All have their uses, with various passive bonuses.
To get them, complete The Old Peace quest and go to La Catehdrale in Sanctum Anatomica. In this sub-hub, Marie sells the five Tek artifacts and you need 150x the reward from each boss of the Perita Rebellion missions: Lyroic Bridge, Ren Hypercore and Ascaris Prime.
Having any Tek artifact will add it to your arsenal, and you can then equip up to five Tektolyst mods and one Tektolyst Arcane.
