Stats for Exodia Contagion in Warframe

Exodia Contagion unleashes a projectile made of Infested enemy when you perform an aerial melee attack while aim gliding just after a bullet jump or double jump. Like a mod, you can enhance it for improved damage and effects. Note that Exodia Contagion's enhancements only take effect if the projectile travels at least 30 meters before hitting an enemy or surface.

The projectile has multiple damage instances based on how it hits a target. Direct hits deal 2x of the Zaw's damage with an equal damage distribution of 33% Impact, Puncture, and Slash damage. The explosion deals 5x the Zaw's damage, with 100% of it being Viral. Direct hits cause a DoT(Damage over Time) effect to activate, dealing 1x the Zaw's damage as Blast.

Note that the explosion portion of the projectile causes a Impact proc on any enemies with it.
