**Release Date:** December 3rd, 2015

Equipped with a diverse selection of arrows, deft hands, shroud of stealth and an exalted bow, the crafty **Ivara** infiltrates hostile territory with deception and diversion, and eliminates threats with a shot from beyond. Ivara emerged in Update 18.0 (2015-12-03).

## Acquisition

Ivara's main and component blueprints are acquired from Spy missions (including Nightmare Mode) depending on mission level. Alerts and sorties do not award identified items therefore are exempt. All parts are in Rotation C of their respective reward tables, meaning they require three successful data extractions to be an eligible reward for the mission. Eligible missions are detailed in the tables below.

All drop rates data is obtained from DE's official droptables.

**Expected** refers to *total* number of attempts a player can *expect* to need in order to receive at least one of each drop associated with the respective values.
**Nearly Guaranteed** refers to the *total* number of attempts a player needs to obtain a 99%, 99.9%, and 99.99% probability to receive at least one of each drop associated with the respective values.
*For more detailed definitions and information on how these number were obtained, visit here.*

* Even though The Steel Path missions are level 100+, they have the same reward table as normal missions.

## Lore

บทความหลัก: Leverian § Ivara

> Ivara. The Huntress. This tale comes to us from 'The Secret History of the Orokin Court', by the historian Porvis.
>
>
> Have you perhaps heard tell of the Myrmidon? No matter. A preternatural beast-figure straight out of myth he was, one whose prey had no equal. Warframes were what this villain hunted. It is said a number of 'frames had been erased from history by this monster, models who no longer exist on any record. Those who are not remembered. It hardly seemed possible that a single person could stand against a Warframe, let alone destroy it. Let alone several. Perhaps Porvis enjoyed the telling a little too much or, perhaps, there is something to it.

Ivara was hunted by the **Myrmidon**, a creature that killed Warframes and erased them from history. It made short work of her companions by nullifying their abilities and vaporizing them with an emerald light, also rendering Ivara's Prowl and Quiver useless. Ivara retreated and readied her Aksomati, Rubico, and Artemis Bow (Weapon), guided by her Navigator and managed to outwit the creature. Stripping the creature of its armor, the Myrmidon was revealed to be an Orokin, a race she was sworn to never kill.

Ivara brought the defeated Myrmidon to the Council of the Seven. One of the Seven removed a small device, "a lattice of delicate silver" from their head, and the Myrmidon instantly collapsed to the floor, lifeless. Executor Ballas then told Ivara how her combat abilities and loyalty were tested, and because of her success she will be remembered, while her defeated comrades would be long forgotten.

## Notes

* Ivara, along with Banshee/Prime, Loki/Prime, Nova/Prime, and Oberon/Prime, has the second highest amount of energy (175 base, with 262.5 at max rank), with Chroma/Prime, Volt/Prime, Saryn/Prime, Ivara/Prime, Baruuk, and Wisp having the highest (200 base, with 300 at max rank).
	+ This can be increased to 525 with a maxed Flow, 743.8 (rounded) with Primed Flow, 770 with Primed Flow and Endurance Drift.

## Trivia

* *Ivara* is a name derived from the Old Norse word *Ívarr*, which means "tree warrior".
	+ In Norse legend, the similarly named Ivar the Boneless was a legendary warrior acclaimed as a deadly archer.
* The line in Lotus' summary, "*Don't roam around the forest looking for a fight,*" is a direct reference to a musical number in the film *Robin Hood: Men in Tights.*
* As mentioned in Devstream 64, Ivara's visual design was influenced by tree frogs, with her default color scheme sharing their bright coloration.
	+ Her original gameplay design similarly included Toxin Damage damage, though this was ultimately abandoned sometime during development.
* The Eros Arrow Skin does not affect Ivara's Artemis Bow (Weapon).
* Ivara is the first Warframe whose main blueprint is dropped as possible loot reward.
