Not modelled herewhat this weapon's number does not account for
Hysteria drains 5 energy a second while the claws are out; energy is not modelled, so they are held for the whole engagement
every hit restores 100 health, and nothing in this arena damages the Tenno
one attack input's own animation length is not published anywhere: the wiki gives a combo's total duration at 1.0x attack speed and one entry per input, so the combo's DURATION is exact and the split between its INPUTS is even. It moves a status tick's start by fractions of a second inside a combo and moves no total

Stance
A stance decides what the weapon actually swings: it publishes a combo per mode, and installing one replaces the weapon's own. It also GRANTS capacity instead of costing it — 10 on a slot of its own polarity, 5 on a bare one, 4 on the wrong colour.
Exilus
A polarity can be swapped between this slot and a main one — the slot stays Exilus. So its polarity counts toward any build, even one that leaves it empty.

1 · The fight who you are shooting at, where, and for how long
2 · External bonuses what the wielder is doing, and what others hand them — a ticked number replaces the wielder's own
3 · Limits what this run is allowed to assume
4 · Buffs the stacks the run STARTS with — the fight still grants and decays them on their own triggers
5 · Extra stats anything this weapon is handed from outside its build — it lands in the same bucket a mod would
6 · Warframe buffs abilities cast on this weapon — set your Ability Strength and the values follow
7 · Measure what to read off the run — the scenario's own term, so an official ruler pins it
The whole fight — every field, including the ones this weapon hides

Aura
An aura hands capacity back instead of costing it: twice its drain on its own polarity, 80% of it rounded down on another. A polarity moves between all ten slots, the aura's included.

0 / 00 Forma
Nothing a companion seats moves a weapon's numbers yet: no robotic weapon reads its wielder's stats, and no precept is run. What this answers is capacity and Forma.
Operator
Only the active school's nodes apply. A node that needs an Operator action counts only when you say it is running.
