CYTE-09

Move like a shadow, strike with force. The Orokin created a Warframe that marries damage and stealth to eliminate sensitive problems, but he disappeared in the chaos of their demise. All that remains is a batch name: Cyte-09.

Cyte-09 is a stealth marksman built around hitting weak points: Seek marks enemies through walls and boosts headshot damage, Evade grants invisibility that extends and heals on weak point kills, and Neutralize summons his exalted sniper rifle whose shots ricochet between weak points. He's a strong solo/duo Steel Path pick for precision single-target damage and survivability through invisibility uptime, not a crowd-clearing AoE frame.
