The 54th Warframe is Dagath, the headless horsewoman

The headless horsewoman Dagath wields a Dorrclave, part sword and part whip. She can also conjure rotating spectral sickles and projectile cursed energy from her faceless head. Dagath has the ability to guard specifically against spectral realm-based damage, and even summon Rakhali’s Cavalry, five phantasmal steeds that collide with enemies for massive damage.

I have to admit, this is one of the coolest-looking Warframes in a while. It definitely fitsꦺ with the spooky nature of the update heading into Halloween.

Grendel Prime and a couple of reworks

The all-devouring Grendel Prime will arrive with the latest Prime 🥀🌸Access on October 18. Grendel Prime Access will also feature Prime versions of his signature weapons Masseter Prime as well as Zylok Prime.

Alongside the new Prime, Hydroid, and companions are getting a bit of a rework. Companions are receiving impro🎐ved vitality and can no longer be permanently defeated during missions. They will instead become incapacitated.

Hydroid is getting improvements to his existing abilities as well as a brand new ability c⛄alled Plunder. Plunder allows Hydroid to steal a𓄧rmor from enemies within view and convert it to bonus Corrosive weapon damage.
