Nuker / AoE DPS
Wield the power of the stars in a constant battle for supremacy. The dueling sons, Sirius & Orion, occupy the space of a single Warframe, jockeying for position to rain cosmic destruction upon foes.
Warframe dossier
Sirius & Orion are Jade and Stalker’s dueling sons — one Warframe slot, two separately moddable bodies, and a specter ally that fights beside you. Swap on hold-cast to juggle Sirius’s Jade Light support and Orion’s gravity strip, then spend Constellation Stars on Celestial Clash for radial Blast nukes.
Swapping between them grants Ability Efficiency for the next few casts. When below 50 energy, Sirius & Orion steal energy from each other. Ability casts generate Constellation Stars (max 7; no more than two of the same color in a row) that fuel Celestial Clash. Both sons’ Aura slots are active at once (duplicate Auras do not stack).

Energy 50 · Orion ability
Orion forms a drifting black hole, trapping enemies within its gravity. Hitting the black hole with Gravitic Slash or Coronal Ejection will extend its duration and change its trajectory: Gravitic Slash will direct it away from Orion, and Coronal Ejection will pull it towards Sirius. (HOLD) Swap to Sirius and use Light's Sanctuary.

| Mission / Context | Rating | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption | Strip with Gravitic Slash, clump with Event Horizon, then Celestial Clash the tile — Sanctuary keeps the objective alive between nukes. | |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Park Light’s Sanctuary on the target, let Orion group and strip waves, Clash when stars are banked. | |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Skip slow setup on empty tiles; use slash + Clash (or motes) when packs are already clustered. | |
| Spy / Rescue / Nightmare | Loud dual-body clear — bring them when combat rooms matter more than silent vaults. | |
| Open World / Bounties | Camp nukes shred clustered camps; travel stretches feel slower than pure mobile frames. | |
| Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content | Kit is built for mid-range packs and Clash radii, not long-sightline Amp hunting. |
