Zariman Guide (2026): Holdfasts Standing, Voidplumes and Void Missions

Voidplumes to Yonta, Incarnons from Cavalero

Last Updated on September 11, 2026

The short answer

Standing comes from Voidplumes: pick up every one in a mission, wake the Dormant Void Angel for a Pinion, and hand them all to Yonta. Void Cascade is the best mission for Voidplumes and Focus. Cavalero’s Incarnon weapons (Laetum, Phenmor, Felarx, Praedos, Innodem) are the reason to rank up.

Reviewed September 10, 2026, current through Update 43.5. Iceblade of Narin lands September 23 and is not reflected yet; this page is re-checked after every major patch.

What you need first

RequirementWhy
The New WarNeeds a Railjack and a Necramech to start, and every story quest before it.
Angels of the ZarimanOpens the Zariman tileset, the Chrysalith hub, the Holdfasts and their vendors.

How Holdfasts standing works

  • Ranks run Fallen, Watcher, Guardian, Seraph, Angel; each one opens more of Cavalero, Yonta and Hombask's stock.
  • Every Zariman mission scatters Voidplumes through the tileset, mostly Down and Vane. Sweep the level before you extract.
  • A Dormant Void Angel spawns in one big room every mission. Wake it and kill it for a guaranteed Pinion.
  • Zarium Accolades delivered to a Cephalon Melica cache pay a Quill each.
  • Quinn's bounties pay Voidplumes by tier and are the reliable Crest source.
  • Trade all of it to Yonta. Her Voidplume stock refreshes on a timer, so check back across sessions.

The three Void missions

MissionWhat you doWhy run it
Void CascadePurge possessed Exolizers with Operator Void damage, then finish the Thrax that tries to retake them. Four purges per reward.Best Voidplume and Focus farm; endless
Void FloodCollect Vitoplast and pour it into Void Ruptures, three per round, while a corruption gauge punishes stalling.Fast rotations, Thrax kills
Void ArmageddonDefend the Exodamper through waves, then fight a Ravenous Void Angel.Guaranteed Quill from the Angel; the Hespar parts

Void Angels

  • Every mission holds one Dormant Void Angel in a large room; interact to wake it.
  • Phase one is the physical body: slams, orbs, ground spikes, beams.
  • When it kneels, a portal opens. Transference in and fight its Ethereal form on the platform; Void Sling through the orbs it throws for the damage windows.
  • Dormant Angels drop a Pinion, Focus and a shot at the Zariman-only mods; Ravenous ones drop a Quill.
  • Only Operator damage hurts the Ethereal form. Your Warframe stays outside.

The fastest standing route

  1. Queue Void Cascade with a squad that has Operators ready.
  2. Purge Exolizers as they get possessed; four purged is one reward rotation.
  3. Between purges, sweep the map for Voidplumes and Zarium Accolades.
  4. Find the Dormant Void Angel's room and kill it for the Pinion.
  5. Extract when the squad is done and hand everything to Yonta.
  6. Spend the rank on Cavalero: Phenmor first, then Laetum, Felarx and Praedos as ranks allow.

What Cavalero sells

WeaponWhy
PhenmorIncarnon rifle that stacks headshot damage; the cheapest of the five.
LaetumIncarnon burst pistol; the top boss secondary in the game.
FelarxIncarnon blasts that one-shot most Steel Path enemies.
PraedosParkour speed on the passive and a combo that holds; veterans never unequip it.
InnodemStealth and combo scaling; the sleeper pick of the five.

Tips that save runs

  • Never extract early. The Angel room and the scattered Voidplumes are most of the standing.
  • Bring a real Amp. Every Zariman mission gates progress behind Operator Void damage.
  • Cascade's gauge fills when Exolizers sit possessed; purge fast or the run fails.
  • Save Quills and Pinions for the rank you are climbing; Down and Vane cover the small purchases.
  • Kuva Nukor and Kuva Zarr still carry the Cascade waves while you save for Cavalero's guns.

Mistakes that waste runs

  • Skipping the Operator and wondering why the Exolizer will not purge.
  • Ignoring the Flood corruption gauge; once it hits full you have about two and a half minutes to fix it.
  • Shooting the Angel's Ethereal form with a gun.
  • Extracting without sweeping the map.
