About Chroma
Chroma is a dragon-themed frame that commands four elements and changes the effect of his abilities with his current color. His passive grants an extra double jump and bullet jump, and he fits both aggressive and tanky builds.
The main blueprint is a reward of The New Strange quest, and the parts come from the Uranus, Neptune and Pluto Junctions. Cephalon Simaris and the Duviri Circuit offer extra routes if you missed them.
Chroma was added with Update 16.0 (March 2015).
