Temple harnesses the energy of rock and roll to take on enemies, and as a character inspired by the 1990s, they stand out as one of Warframe’s most enjoyable fighters. Despite having a straightforward ability set, Temple offers players a lot of depth in gameplay. Mastering the timing of abilities, combining powers effectively, and using the right modifications can significantly boost Temple’s damage output.
If you want to cut through foes with style, this guitar-slinging Warframe is hard to beat. This guide will walk you through acquiring Temple, clarify how their abilities function, and present recommended builds for both Temple and their iconic guitar, named Lizzy.
How to Acquire Temple
Temple’s components can be found during the Solstice Square Defense mission in Hollvania. To access this, complete "The Hex" quest—there’s no need to reach max rank in the Hex to farm this mission, as it automatically unlocks. Components for Temple drop in every reward rotation, with the best odds found in rotation C.
If you’re having a tough time getting a specific piece to drop, you can trade "Beating Heartstrings" with Flare in the Hollvania hub for any components you might be missing. Heartstrings are earned from the same activity, providing a bit of insurance against bad luck. Keep participating in the mission, and you’ll eventually craft Temple.

Passive Ability
Temple’s passive feature is a metronome integrated into their targeting crosshair. Casting an ability while the metronome is centered results in a 50% efficiency boost. Perfect timing also triggers additional benefits for certain abilities, enhancing damage, duration, and critical chance.
Pyrotechnics
Releases heat-infused pillars of damage that hit enemies within a target area. Using the ability with perfect timing spawns extra pillars, boosting both damage and duration.
- Base Drain: 25 Energy
- Range: 25 Meters
- Damage: 1,000 Heat
Overdrive
Temple creates a damaging wave of heat, amplifying critical hit chances for a duration. Aggressively making use of abilities with great timing enhances damage and duration.
Ripper’s Wail
This ability offers a healing boost and grants invulnerability to Temple while empowering allies’ weapons. The duration and power of the healing can be upgraded through effective timing.
Exalted Solo
Temple’s primary weapon, Lizzy, fires waves of elemental sound, consuming energy based on the damning inflicted. The elemental type varies based on the abilities used.
Recommended Builds for Temple
Temple is versatile enough to be modified easily. We’ll discuss two builds: the starter version, which requires minimal investment, and an optimized endgame build. For Focus schools, Zenurik is recommended due to its energy regeneration capabilities—helpful even when using Lizzy.
Starter Build
Temple is easy to mod since you don’t need to worry about energy efficiency. Focus on strength and range:
- Blind Rage for a big boost to strength.
- Primed Continuity to extend ability duration.
- Archon Vitality is beneficial for survivability when heat status damage is applied.
Endgame Build
For those venturing into top-tier content, this build focuses on increased survivability and damage output:
- Use Primed Sure Footed for knockdown protection.
- Include Growing Power for extra ability strength.
- Rolling Guard acts as a safety net in tough fights.
Although this guide has no specific requirements for Archon Shards, consider adding key shards to enhance performance further.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, Temple is a dynamic Warframe that blends music with powerful abilities. With the right builds and playing strategy, you’ll be able to harness their full potential and rock your way through missions in no time.
