Melee Retaliation grants bonus Melee Damage for every point of current Shields, up to a limit, and the bonus is halved for Overshields. It is additive to damage mods like Pressure Point and shows up in the buff UI.
Bird 3 of Cavia sells it for 5,000 Standing at rank 3 (Colleague), and Praghasa trades 5 Moonflesh for it during Epoch Operation: Taubound. The Fragmented, Whispers and Gruzzlings drop it as well. It only pays off for Warframes with large shield pools.
Melee Retaliation was added with Update 35.0 (December 2023).
Melee Retaliation is tradable, see the current prices in the market box above.
