Orokin execution method, see Jade Light.
Release Date: June 18th, 2024
Angelic allure graces the assembly in blissful song, hymns threefold of wartime armistice and abhorrent passion. Echo the Naga Drums to Tenno heartbeats, delivered thus to the
Orokin a coup d'état. Amidst the anthems of devastation, a solemn soul sings proud, her audience awestruck by oblivion's embrace. Blessed be the Lucent Virtuoso, Jade, whose glorious choir casts forth a crescendo of emerald blaze. Before heavenly ascent, thou shall behold one final glimpse: sublime plumes unfurl to seraphic wings most divine. Jade descended from the heavens in Update 36.0 (2024-06-18).

Lore
Jade Shadows
Before becoming a Warframe, Jade was engaged in an unsanctioned relationship with Sorren, who would later become Stalker. The desire to sire a child, which was considered a violation of the Orokin legems, worried Sorren.
During The Collapse where the Tenno rebelled against the Orokin, Stalker was unable to protect his Orokin masters, but was spared by the Jade Warframe. According to Ordis, Jade vanished after The Collapse, with information on her scarce as if redacted.
In present day, Jade has fallen critically ill and Stalker attempts to nurse her to health, forcing him to turn to the Tenno Operator for help. While attempting to heal her and catching the attention of Corpus Captain Xeto, the Operator discovers that Jade is not fighting her illness: she is revealed to be conceiving and passes during childbirth. Xeto, upon hearing the cries of the child, orders her forces to stand down and allow the Stalker to escape.
After reminiscing his promise to protect his family, Stalker names the child either Sirius or Orion.
Because of the circumstances during Jade's conversion into a Warframe, any copies of her, like the playable Jade, also appear to be pregnant.
Jade's Promise
After completing Jade Shadows, an assembly of seven of Jade's feathers will appear near Teshin in any Relay, in front of the tombstones.
Jade's and Sorren's unsanctioned relationship was eventually caught by Orokin Executor Ballas, who turned them both into Warframes as punishment. Jade was converted during her pregnancy, with Ballas taunting that she will fail to give birth. She was also kept in the execution chamber to channel the Jade Light. Meanwhile, Sorren became Stalker, having blamed himself and attempted to repent by serving as an Orokin lapdog.
Jade was eventually given an Operator. Horrified, Jade lulled the Operator to sleep and fought of her own free will, believing that the Orokin's reckoning will one day come.
When the Naga drums resounded and The Collapse saw the fall of the Orokin Empire, Jade encountered Stalker but he did not recognize her. She fought her way to him and spirited him away. Recalling Ballas's taunts that her unborn child may move if she laid still for a long time, Jade spent the remainder of her life channeling all her energy into her pregnancy.
Notes
- Currently,
Evensong,
Cantare, and
Harmony all lack a Signature Weapon bonus with Jade.
- If Stalker, Shadow Stalker, or Protector Stalker appears in the mission via Death Mark and Jade is present, the Stalker will immediately despawn and drop his loot.
Trivia
- Jade is the 57th unique Warframe to be released.
- In the Pax East 2024 live audience Devstream 178, Jade's update teaser splash art was revealed with the Stalker's Landing Craft looming in the background. In Devstream 179, Jade's concept art, theme, signature weapons, and alt helmet were shown. In Devstream 180 her full gameplay reveal was demonstrated by a prerecording from [DE]Pablo.
- Notably, considerable effort was done to hide her pregnancy prior to her introduction to the game: Teaser art either featured her from behind or in one case, with
Harmony obscuring her stomach, while gameplay footage and animations never showed her from up front.
- Notably, considerable effort was done to hide her pregnancy prior to her introduction to the game: Teaser art either featured her from behind or in one case, with
- Jade takes several inspirations from Angels from Abrahamic religions. Most notable in the numerous sets of wings she has and her link to choral music.
- Her dress and the covers wrapped around her chest and her helmet are feather-like protrusions with cloth physics; they stay folded and compact when idle, then expand into angelic wings during Idle Animations and
Glory on High.
- Symbols for
Symphony of Mercy's three auras resemble biblical angel's wings in various shapes and forms.
- Additionally, Jade is named "Choir" in the game files.
- Her dress and the covers wrapped around her chest and her helmet are feather-like protrusions with cloth physics; they stay folded and compact when idle, then expand into angelic wings during Idle Animations and
- She is the first Warframe whose name starts with the letter 'J'. At the time of her announcement, there was 1 remaining letter in the English Alphabet 'U', that did not have an associated Warframe.
- She is the next female Warframe in line after
Trinity,
Equinox,
Wisp,
Yareli,
Gyre, and
Dagath to wear a skirt or dress with cloth physics.
- Jade is also the name
Nyx originally went by during development.
- She is the first Warframe to have two Aura mod slots as her unique passive.
- She is the second Warframe to have three Signature Weapons after
Gara.
- She is the third Warframe after
Protea and
Dante with a built-in universal Aura polarity.
- She is the third Warframe after
Titania and
Hildryn to use a flight-based fourth ability associated with an Exalted Weapon.
- She is the eleventh Warframe after
Limbo,
Hildryn,
Wisp,
Titania Prime,
Protea,
Xaku,
Sevagoth,
Gyre,
Qorvex, and
Dante with a unique dodge roll animation, where Jade dashes with her arms outstretched, or twirls during sidesprings, along with the wings on her torso spreading.
- Jade's weapons are parallel to the Stalker's:
Dread vs.
Evensong bow,
Despair vs.
Cantare throwing knives, and
Hate vs.
Harmony scythe.
- Jade's component blueprints were accidentally included in Dagath's Hollow in the Clan Dojo upon the initial release of the Jade Shadows update. The blueprints were subsequently removed on Hotfix 36.0.1 (2024-06-19), and all players who bought copies of Jade's component blueprints this way were allowed to keep them.
- This unintentional feature ends up showcasing parallels between the two Warframes, as Jade and
Dagath were both in relationships forbidden in Orokin society prior to their conversion to Warframes, though whereas Jade and Sorren's relationship was borne out of genuine love and led to Jade bearing a child, Dagath's relationship with Corphel & Irilia was only done to satisfy the couple's lust and ended with them dead after the couple failed to kill Dagath.
