Citrine Gameplay
Since Citrine is a support, you will focus on your abilities to help your allies. However, we have good fire power to fight and sustain long fights. The mods and shards will aid the Prismatic Gem ability, which inflicts Heat, Cold, Toxin, and Electricity Status Effects. It will have maximum effect on enemy debuffs and buffs for your allies.
Overall, you will be the crowd control Warframe and can do more than what’s needed from a support.
