Warframe Riven Mod Calculator
Welcome, Tenno! Riven Mods are powerful, unique modifications for your weapons, but their stats can be tricky to understand due to weapon disposition. This calculator helps you estimate how a Riven’s stats might look on a specific weapon, taking into account its disposition. It’s a handy tool for theorycrafting, checking potential rolls, or evaluating trades.
How to Use This Riven Calculator
Using the calculator is straightforward. Here’s a quick guide:
- Weapon Name (Optional): Enter the name of the weapon your Riven is for. This is just for your reference.
- Weapon Disposition: This is crucial! Find your weapon’s Riven Disposition (often shown as dots in-game, like ●●●○○, which translates to a multiplier). A 1-dot disposition is ~0.5x, 3-dots is ~1.0x, and 5-dots is ~1.5x. Enter this multiplier (e.g., 1.25 for a 1.25x disposition). You can find precise disposition values on the Warframe Wiki.
- Riven Stats:
- For each positive stat on your Riven, select the stat type (e.g., Damage, Multishot, Critical Chance) from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the value of that stat exactly as it appears on the Riven mod (e.g., if it says +120.5% Damage, enter 120.5).
- Do the same for any negative stat your Riven might have. Remember to enter negative values with a minus sign (e.g., -30.5 for -30.5% Zoom).
- Calculate: Click the “Calculate Riven Stats” button.
- Review Results: The “Riven Calculation Results” section will appear, showing you the estimated disposition-adjusted values for each stat you entered.
This helps you see the *true* power (or weakness) a Riven offers for that specific weapon. A Riven with amazing stats for a high-disposition weapon will be incredible, while the same stats on a low-disposition weapon will be significantly less impactful.
Understanding Riven Disposition
Riven Disposition is a balancing mechanic Digital Extremes uses to make Rivens more impactful for less popular weapons and less overpowering for meta weapons. It’s a multiplier applied to a Riven’s base stats.
Adjusted Stat Value ≈ (Riven Stat Value) × (Weapon Disposition Multiplier)
- High Disposition (e.g., 1.3x – 1.55x): Weapons with high disposition get a significant boost from Rivens. These are often less-used weapons.
- Neutral Disposition (e.g., 0.9x – 1.1x): Riven stats are close to what’s shown on the mod.
- Low Disposition (e.g., 0.5x – 0.7x): Popular, powerful weapons usually have low disposition, meaning Riven stats are scaled down considerably.
A Riven with three positive stats and one (harmless) negative stat will generally have higher positive values than a Riven with only two positive stats and no negative. This calculator focuses on the disposition scaling once you *have* a roll.
Remember, rolling Rivens with Kuva is a gamble! Aim for stats that complement your weapon’s strengths or cover its weaknesses. A “god roll” is subjective and depends on the weapon and your playstyle.
