WAYS TO WORK WITH OTHER FRAMES

The main advantage of Aquarius is that she works with other frames to maximize both of their combined efforts. The effect of the combined skill scales off of both of the frames power strength and skill damage. Aquarius works with each frame differently, but they all start with her using one of her abilities on an enemy and another frame using one of their abilities on that same enemy. The outcome of the combined abilities relies not on what skill the other frame uses, but which one of Aquarius’s skills is used. For example, if Aquarius uses Whirlpool on the ground and Frost uses either Freeze or Ice Wave on it, it will still have the same effect.
