Impact is much better against the respective damage classes).

polarity, matches the Conclave-only
Star Divide stance.
Disadvantages:
- Low
Impact and
Puncture damage – less effective against shields and health.
- Very short range on slide attack.
Comparisons:
- Kronen, compared to Kronen Prime:
- Higher base damage (59.0 vs. 50.0)
- Lower attack speed (1.08 vs. 1.17)
- Different polarities (None vs.
)
- Lower Mastery Rank required (3 vs. 8)
Notes[edit | edit source]

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- This was 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.
- 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.
- Perhaps the name is a reference to the Hellboy film character, Colonel Kroenen, who prefers using bladed tonfas.
