* BreakingOldTrends: Protea Prime's trailer is the first to feature dialogue from another character besides Ballas, as it is the Executor and [[Character/WarframeCorpus Parvos Granum]] discussing the terms of Protea's creation and designs. It's also revealed that Granum originally designed Protea and came to Ballas to see if he was up to the task of making her real, making her one of the few frames not designed by Ballas, although not the first.

"''The Entrati have violated time, and I have violated them.''"\\

->''Armed for deadly encounters, she is tactical and timely. This is Protea, the protector, the enforcer.''\\
''Protea is the method to the madness. When you face her, it's already too late.''

* FashionableAsymmetry: Much like the feral Infested, Nidus's body is covered in asymmetric growths.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: Nidus foreshadows the true nature of the warframes; essentially he's what you get if you take a 'frame and strip off the armor 'skin' covering the Infested flesh beneath.]]

* AntiFrustrationFeature: Due to the absolutely ''monumental'' requirements to access him (obtaining his blueprint requires Kahl's Garrison to be at maximum rank; said syndicate has many prerequisite quests needed to unlock it, and can only gain one rank per week once you do access it), anyone who logged in during the first two weeks of the release of Veilbreaker received him completed for free.

* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:It's unknown if Protea's desire to protect Parvos from being stranded into the Void was a choice of the Tenno or it was Protea who wasn't piloted like the rest of the Warframes, but she surely cared enough for Parvos and her mission assigned to save him from the assassination attempt.]]

* ArmorIsUseless: Subverted. Despite her small size and lack of visible armor, Valkyr's got the fifth-highest armor stat in the game behind a max. level Kullervo (though Valkyr Prime has the second-highest) and can become completely invincible during ''Hysteria''.

* OneHitPolykill: Qorvex's passive ability increases the punch-through of his weapons, letting them hit multiple targets per shot.

* FakeLongevity: Farming for Warframe blueprints is always a tedious task that leaves you at the mercy of the RandomNumberGod, but Nekros was the first frame to involve more in the process than farming one node. To get his blueprints, you first need to farm up nav coordinates to build a key to access the Orokin Derelicts, then you need to farm up more nav coordinates from ''those'' Derelicts for the Assassinate mission against Lephantis. Each key can only be used to complete the mission once. These days, most players don't care as much about the additional hoops, since nav coordinates are commonplace and Lephantis keys can be shared.
** With the Derelict Keys removed and replaced with Deimos nodes, he has a more conventional method of being obtained.

* {{Combos}}:
** The ''Reaping Chakram'' augment multiplies ''Blazing Chakram'''s damage and health orb drop chance for each enemy hit by the chakram.
** Hitting an enemy impaled by ''Divine Spears'' with a ''Blazing Chakram'' will spawn a second chakram that bounces off to hit another enemy. If that one's also speared, it, in turn, will spawn another chakram, and so on. Combined with the above augment, this can decimate a group of enemies and produce a vast amount of health pickups.

* {{Combos}}:
** ''Spores'' of a host explode when the host itself is hit with an attack amped by ''Toxic Lash'', or dies under the effects of her other abilities. This infects any of the host's nearby allies with more ''Spores''.
** ''Miasma'''s damage is multiplied if a victim is also covered with ''Spores''.

* {{Combo}}s: Prior to his rework, Wukong's passive ability extended his melee combo timer from 3 seconds to 5, making it easier to maintain the combo multiplier bonus, and ''Primal Fury'' became more powerful and grew in range as the combo counter increased.

* ObviousRulePatch: His Void damage cannot be used to harm Eidolons, as that would allow him to cheese all three encounters by removing the need for investment in [[spoiler:the Operator and Amps]].
