Characteristics

This weapon deals damage.

Advantages:

• Can be thrown using the charge attack function.
• Silent when thrown, ideal for stealth gameplay.
• The throwing attack still counts as melee, so it will do bonus damage against unalerted enemies even when thrown.
• Highest critical chance and critical damage multiplier of all Thrown Melee Weapons .
• Tied with the Glaive Prime for having the highest status chance of all Thrown Melee Weapons.
• Can hit enemies on the way back to the thrower.
• Comes with and polarity slots.

Disadvantages:

• Slow flight speed when thrown.
• Low base damage on normal attacks.
• Unlike the other Glaives, slam attacks cause no knockdown or ragdoll.

Notes

• Thrown attack deals physical damage, with damage as the dominant damage type.
  • Physical damage mods (like Sundering Strike) increase this damage.
• When combining elemental damage mods, the Cerata's innate damage is added last.
  • The innate damage is ignored for elemental combinations when using throw attacks, thus the addition of a damage mod is required to maintain any -based elemental combos for the throw attack.
• When equipping the Cerata, the player can throw it and then press the channeling button to detonate the Cerata, dealing high AoE damage and returns to the player immediately. This is true for all thrown melee weapons.
  • This is very useful for regenerating health with Life Strike.
  • It can explode in this manner when not equipped and thrown, but the explosion timing cannot be controlled and will often damage the user in close quarters.
  • It should be however noted that finisher attacks can still be executed while the weapon is in the air.

Trivia

• Cerata are anatomical structures found externally on nudibranches. They are typically used to aid respiration, but are sometimes used for attack and defense.

Bugs

• The Cerata will appear very small in the codex, after the selected warframe holds the weapon upwards it will become normal sized again.
