CODEX

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 (2018-06-15).

This weapon cannot be sold.

Acquisition

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

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

• 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

• 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.
