A Judgement Point in Warframe is a specific resource that players acquire by completing certain missions, primarily serving as a key to unlock further content and progression.
Obtaining Judgement Points
Judgement Points are exclusively earned by successfully completing Rathuum arena missions located on the planet Sedna. These unique combat challenges pit players against powerful Grineer enemies in a gladiator-style setting.
Purpose and Utility
The primary uses for Judgement Points are:
- Accessing Kela de Thaym: A significant amount of Judgement Points is required to unlock the boss fight against Kela de Thaym, the Grineer commander on Sedna. Defeating her is often a necessary step for planetary progression and obtaining valuable Warframe components.
- Unlocking Harder Arenas: To participate in the more challenging Rathuum arena missions, players must possess a certain threshold of Judgement Points. These tougher missions offer a greater challenge but come with improved rewards and, crucially, award a higher number of Judgement Points upon completion.
Progression and Rewards
The acquisition and use of Judgement Points are integral to progressing through the Rathuum content on Sedna. Players start with easier arenas to gather an initial supply of points, which then allows them to tackle more difficult versions of the mission. This creates a clear progression path where investing time in the arenas directly leads to better loot and quicker accumulation of the points needed for the boss encounter.
Here's a conceptual overview of how Judgement Points influence Rathuum mission progression:
| Mission Type | Requirement | Reward Potential | Points Gained |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easier Rathuum | Low/None | Standard | Moderate |
| Harder Rathuum | Judgement Points Required | Better | More |
Ultimately, Judgement Points act as a gatekeeping mechanic, ensuring players are prepared for the more challenging content and providing a clear incentive for replaying the Rathuum arenas.
