Tips

 * As with all Dual melee weapons, the Kronen consumes Stamina per individual swing of their left and right weapons. Since dual weapons can swing twice in rapid succession, one can drain stamina at an alarming rate faster than even stamina-heavy weapons like the Fragor. Consider using the Quick Rest mod when wielding this weapon to quickly recover Stamina, or alternatively use the Second Wind mod to instantly regain Stamina on channeling kills. Using Melee Combos that hit multiple times per attack like Gemini Cross' Vagrant Blight can also offset the heavy stamina cost.
 * With melee auto-aim on, you will be reduced to a very slow pace when your character chases down running enemies. Often, in the case of targeting a fleeing Grineer Lancer for example, the speed at which you move forward to attack is nearly equal to his run speed, meaning you will continue to swipe at him without hitting him until he stops moving.

Trivia

 * This is the first Tonfa-type weapon in Warframe.
 * At 65,000 credits, the Kronen has the most expensive weapon blueprint in Warframe.
 * The Kronen is one of the winning weapons from the fan-created melee weapon contest (preceding the Silva & Aegis). Its design was submitted by the player Datareaper.
 * The weapon's name is possibly a reference to Karl Ruprecht Kroenen from the Hellboy franchise, who wields Tonfa-styled swords.
 * Kronen is German for "crowns" or "coins".
 * When the Kronen was first released, it was unable to do wall attacks due to a bug. This was fixed in Update 14.8.0.
