Argo & Vel is a Duviri Mace and Shield weapon similar to the shield wielded by Dax Malleus. Its unique Heavy Attacks hurl an energy glaive that bounces off surfaces or enemies once before returning to the user.
Characteristics[]
- This weapon deals primarily
Slash damage. - Unique Heavy Attack throws a glaive projectile that ricochets off surfaces once before flying back to the user.
- The glaive and its AoE have a 3x damage multiplier.
- Glaive is considered a heavy attack and benefits from heavy attack related mods.
- If the glaive hits an enemy, it will ricochet towards 1 other nearby enemy.
- As a Warframe, blocking ranged attacks has a chance to stagger the attacker, and blocking melee attacks has a much higher counter chance
Drifter Combat[]
- Power Strike (blocking + heavy attack, default RMB + MMB ) performs a charged swing that inflicts Slash. Perfect parrying resets Power Strike cooldown.
