Broken Scepter

The Broken Scepter is a staff granted as a reward for completing The War Within Quest. It has a special ability that allows the player to 'drain' deceased enemies to gain health or energy orbs.

Characteristics
This weapon primarily deals damage.

Advantages:
 * High damage, making it effective against Shields.
 * High status chance.
 * Fast attack speed.
 * Draining mechanic allows for a constant supply of health and energy orbs on demand.
 * Has an innate polarity slot.
 * Stance slot has a polarity, matches Flailing Branch.

Disadvantages:
 * Low damage makes it less effective against Armor.
 * Consuming enemies forces the player into an uninterruptible animation for a moment, leaving them vulnerable to attack.

Trivia

 * During The War Within quest, Teshin reveals to the player that the Scepter is an Orokin artifact that was utilized to command the sworn allegiance of the Orokin's Dax soldiers.
 * It is unclear whether the Broken Scepter still allows the player to command the Dax or if it requires the Kuva to be attached.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the scepter will refuse to show prompts on enemies. If this occurs, switching weapons then back to the scepter again should fix the issue.
