Ephemera are rare cosmetics in Warframe that will add some form of visual effect to your Warframe. Some will affect the Warframe itself, while others will cause some kind of visual effect to happen when you walk. In a game with some deep visual customization options, they add another way for your Warframe to stand out from the crowd.
