Skiajati

Forged of steel grafted from Umbra's flesh, this elegant nikana unites with its Warframe to form a single being of seething purpose.

Skiajati is Excalibur Umbra's signature Nikana. It was released in Update 23.0.

This weapon cannot be sold.

Acquisition[edit | edit source]

This weapon, along with Excalibur Umbra, is given during the penultimate mission of The Sacrifice at max rank, complete with a free weapon slot, a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst, and the mods Sacrificial Steel and Sacrificial Pressure fused to rank 5. A second Skiajati will not be given after replaying the quest.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

This weapon deals primarily Slash damage.

Advantages:

Highest attack speed of all Nikanas.
High Slash damage - effective against health and shields (although Puncture and Impact is much better against the respective damage classes).

Disadvantages:

Low Puncture and Impact damage – less effective against health and shields.
Innate two polarities, due to no Conclave mods having the polarity.

Notes[edit | edit source]

All the mastery rank points that would normally be granted from ranking up the weapon will be automatically received upon acquiring it.
Despite its mastery rank of 11, players of lower ranks can acquire and use this weapon.
The cloth piece is a fixed part of the sheath and not a removable cosmetic.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Σκιά (Skia) is Greek for shadow, while जाति (Jati) is Sanskrit for birth.
- This can either tie in to the sword's relationship with Excalibur Umbra, with Umbra being Latin for shadow, or to the weapon's passive ability to cloak its user.
The weapon utilizes a similar model to the shikomizue or jotō katana, best described as a swordstick or staff sword.
According to its Codex entry, the Skiajati is a normal Nikana "grafted" from Umbra's flesh.
