Dual Ichor

Released in Update 10, the Dual Ichor is a pair of twin Infested short axes resembling a bony or chitinous material, wielded in each hand. It is only available through Research in Bio Lab. It may be intended as a dual version of Mire.

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * High base damage

 * Deals damage.
 * 50% bonus damage to Flesh and 25% bonus damage to Ferrite Armor, making this weapon very effective against Grineer without any elemental mods.
 * Ignores shields and attacks health directly, so, if played solely on damage, and crit, it is very effective against Corpus, who usually have huge shields but little health.
 * One polarity.
 * Can hit multiple targets.
 * Charge attack can be held and executed precisely on release.

Disadvantages:
 * Requires a Forma to craft.
 * Short range.
 * Requires Mastery Level 6 to craft.
 * Charge attack can be unwieldy to use repeatedly.
 * Toxin damage deals 25% less to Robotics.

Tips

 * A build using a maximum fusion rank Organ Shatter, Pressure Point, and True Steel can achieve:
 * 77 damage.
 * 40% critical chance.
 * 570% critical damage.
 * 438.9 damage on a critical hit.
 * This does not include damage gained from elemental mods and their related resistance and weakness multipliers.
 * It is highly recommended to supercharge the Dual Ichor (with Orokin Catalyst), as melee damage, attack rate, and critical chance/damage are required to make them shine.

Trivia

 * Despite being classified as axes, the Dual Ichor weapon models could be mistaken for a pair of short swords.
 * In modern terms, ichor may refer to Bile, the green or yellow fluid produced by the liver. In more antiquated terms, it is any discharge from a wound or ulcer with an offending stench. Seeing as the Dual Ichor is made from Infested tissue or biomass, they most likely gets their name from this.
 * H.P. Lovecraft often used ichor to describe his other-worldly creatures.
 * In Greek mythology, the Ichor was the blood of the gods.
 * The bulb-like structures on the handle of the Dual Ichors beat like a heart, suggesting they are made of living Infested tissue.
 * The Dual Ichor are the second melee Clan Tech weapons released, the first being the Prova, and the first to be made specifically by Clan Tech.
