Characteristics[edit | edit source]
This weapon deals primarily Slash damage.
Advantages
- High
Slash damage – effective against health and shields (although
Puncture and
Impact is much better against the respective damage classes).
- Tied with the
Prisma Obex and
Nami Skyla Prime for the highest base attack speed of all melee weapons.
- Has a
polarity slot.
Disadvantages
- Low
Impact and
Puncture damage – less effective against shields and health.
- Stance has
polarity, does not match the Conclave-only
Crashing Timber stance.
Notes[edit | edit source]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Tipedo is the first Staff-type weapon to deal
Slash as its primary damage type instead of
Impact.
- This is the second weapon that requires two different pre-made weapons in order to craft, the first being the
Redeemer.
- The weapon's design is based on the Monk's Spade (otherwise known as the Crescent Moon Spade due to the inverted, crescent-shaped blade on the opposite end), which was used by traveling Buddhist Monks as a defensive weapon as well as a tool to give proper burial to people who died on the roads during their journeys and denied their last rites by their untimely demise.
- Contrary to the real world model, the Tenno version does not feature the inverted crescent-shaped blade, which was used to catch ambushers' swords or keep wild animals at bay. The Tipedo does feature a slotted double crescent blade instead which appears to serve a similar purpose.
- The Tipedo appears to be used much like a Glaive (not to be confused with the in-game weapon of the same name), though with the distinction that Glaives are historically single-edged pole weapons while the Tipedo is double-edged due to the overall design being based on the Monk's Spade.
- The Tipedo was first shown in a concept along with other polearms during Devstream 15.
Bugs[edit | edit source]
- Although the Foundry will claim that you can craft the weapon if you have a
Bo Prime in your inventory, this is most likely a UI bug as it won't allow you to consume the Bo Prime to build the weapon.
- Despite it's name, Zaws cannot be named "Tipedo", due to profanity.
