Trivia

 * The Tipedo is the first Staff-type weapon to deal as its primary damage type instead of.
 * This is the second weapon that requires two different pre-made weapons in order to craft, the first being the Redeemer.
 * The weapon's design is based on the Monk's Spade, which was used by traveling Buddhist Monks as a defensive weapon as well as a tool to give proper burial to people who died on the roads during their journeys and denied their last rites by their untimely demise.
 * Contrary to the real world model, the Tenno version does not feature an inverted crescent-shaped blade at the lower end, which was used to catch ambushers' swords, giving it its secondary name "Crescent Moon Spade".
 * The Tipedo appears to be used much like a Glaive (not to be confused with the in-game weapon of the same name), though with the distinction that Glaives are historically single-edged pole weapons while the Tipedo is double-edged due to the overall design being based on the Monk's Spade.
