Our 65th(/66th?) Warframe to be added. The son of Stalker and Jade, all grown up, but from two divergent timelines. Thanks to time magicks the "twin brothers" (technically the same person) occupy a single Warframe slot, with the pointman determined by the player after their respective quest (EDIT: You can only switch the pointman once a day. Chances are this is temporary because of how novel their idea is relative to the game's code). I'll be using Sirius as the "main" since that's who the devs had up front:
- As mentioned, their main shtick is that you control one of the brothers at any given time, with the other brother assisting as an invulnerable specter. You can switch the active Warframe by hold-casting the first three abilities, which switches the other brother in and casts their version of the ability. Switching them gives their next ability cast 45% efficiency (encouraging frequent switching, this also means they can hit the efficiency cap with just Streamline) and adds a colored pip to a seven-dot constellation above their abilities (which is essential for their 4).
- Each brother will come with their own separate mod configurations and color customizations, allowing them to have different mod setups and color schemes. Their aura slot will come with an Omni polarity.
- Their first ability is Coronal Ejection/Gravitic Slash. Sirius throws a spectral, boomeranging scythe that sets enemies on fire while collecting pickups en route. Orion does a broad, short-ranged swipe that deals heavy slash damage and strips armor.
- Their second ability is Jade Stars/Astral Shell. Sirius summons seven sparks that give his (and Orion's) attacks extra heat damage, and all of them are consumed if he deals damage with abilities. Orion gets a buff that leaves a decoy the next time he takes damage, drawing aggro and absorbing damage before exploding (I could be wrong on the specifics here though, Pablo was a bit vague).
- Their third ability is Light's Sanctuary/Event Horizon. Sirius creates a zone that heals allies, gives them additional damage resistance the longer they stay in the zone, and can revive allies that die within it with a one-minute cooldown. Orion throws out a slow-moving black hole that pulls enemies in and damages them. The more enemies it picks up and kills, the stronger it gets and the longer it lasts. The black hole can also be pulled towards/pushed away from the two using their 1.
- Their final, shared ability is Celestial Clash, where the brothers take up scythes and start swinging at each other, dealing AoE damage to enemies in range. Each strike corresponds to a pip on the constellation UI, and matching the color shown (presumably via LMB/RMB for PC players) increases the damage and crit chance of each swing, with the final strike dealing damage in a larger area. The two of them are invulnerable while casting this.
- EDIT: Got an update on how Helminth works on them: sacrificing one of them offers both abilities (in their case, its their 2), but you can only infuse one ability (in hindsight, understandable. Roar + Xata's Whisper on the same frame is OP as shit).
- Their signature weapon(s) are the Pride/Wrath heavy sycthes. They're separate weapons despite it just being the same weapon but flipped, and the stats displayed were placeholders.
- Of course, they're gated behind the Jade Shadows: Constellations quest, which has you dealing with their mutual existential crisis alongside their mentors/protoframes Ryoku and Vena.
- As for additional parts/signature weapons/turning their swaddles into themed syandanas, you'll have to venture to Pontis Tower in the newly-added Uranus Proxima. It basically boils down to siding with one of the mentors at the start, doing some tasks to draw the opposing capital ship out, then boarding it to defeat their rival. You'll be used their railjacks in lieu of your own ride (ostensibly to make RJ more accessible to new players, though vets' jimmies are rustled).
- Jade Shadows: Constellations drops on June 17 (sadly Father's Day falls on June 21 so we won't get release date kino like with Jade Shadows in 2024).
