Sheev

"Tenno, You have gone above and beyond. The Grineer are on the defense. Their supply of void keys is dwindling. To recognize your sacrifice I am giving you this weapon. Use it to defend the balance."

- The Lotus

The Sheev is a close range dagger weapon of Grineer design that serves as a backup in the event that a Grineer is disarmed by any means. It offers high damage and status, and has a fast overall attack speed. The tip of the blade glows with charged plasma, which allows the weapon to deal procs on slam attacks.
