Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily Slash and Electricity damage.

Advantages:

• Second highest base damage of all glaives, behind Pathocyst.
  • Innate Electricity damage – effective against Machinery and Robotic
  • High Slash damage – effective against health.
• Decent critical chance.
• Highest status chance of all glaives.
• Heavy Attack throws the glaive, which can bounce up to three times or travels up to 30 meters before returning to the user, damaging anyone in its path.
  • Thrown glaive has a guaranteed Impact and Electricity proc.
  • Primary and secondary weapons can be fired and reloaded normally with a thrown glaive, and retrieving the glaive does not interrupt these actions.
  • Thrown glaive is silent.
  • Thrown glaive attempts to home into enemies.
  • Glaive can explode in a 6 meter radius mid-flight by pressing the melee button which also forces a return.
  • Second highest explosion radius of all glaives, after Xoris.
• Can be wielded in-tandem with a single-handed secondary weapon.

Disadvantages:

• Innate Electricity damage – less effective against Alloy Armor.
• Low Impact and Puncture damage – less effective against shields and armor.
• Low critical multiplier.
• Third slowest attack speed of all glaives, after Orvius and Pathocyst.
• Cannot use melee attacks while the glaive is in mid-flight.
• Explosion inflicts self-stagger.
• Explosion has linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% from central impact.

Notes

• Unlike other glaives, the Falcor homes into enemies when thrown, whereas other glaives only correct their trajectory once after being thrown when the user aims close to an enemy.

Patch History

Hotfix 27.2.2
Reduced the following AoE weapons Radial Damage Falloff from central impact that were all previously 90%:

• Falcor: 50%

Update 27.2

Self Damage Changes

We are getting rid of Self Damage and replacing it with something else: instead of Self Damage, it’s now ‘Stagger’. This change completely removes the chance of killing yourself, and instead now creates scenarios where you will interrupt yourself - or ‘Stagger’ - to varying degrees if you aren’t careful.

The degrees of Self-Interrupt start with a small stumble all the way to full knockdown depending on how close you are to the center of explosion. Any Mods referring to Self Damage will be converted to acknowledge Stagger.

With this Self-Interrupt system, we have added dozens of new recovery animations that harness a ninja-like recovery experience. By pressing ‘Jump’ at the correct time, you can execute a ninja-skill-based knockdown recovery to ALL in-game knockdowns. This ninja recovery window is indicated by a glowing FX on your Warframe.

In the original Dev Workshop, we said:
As a result of this overall systemic change, Weapons with Stagger will be getting approximately a 20% buff in Damage, with any weapons with AOE receiving a 50% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact.

This is no longer accurate after continued testing. What we are doing now is:

No damage buffs have been added, but any weapons with AOE are receiving ~20% increase in Radius. Additionally, AOE weapons are receiving a 90% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact. This means on the very outer section of the explosion Radius 10% of the Damage will be dealt. Tactics will be deadly - aim true, Tenno.

Why: Several players brought up the history of the Tonkor and we want to make sure we ship this change in a place that’s conservative in its starting point from a balance perspective. The complete removal of Self Damage does change the pace of destruction with some of the game’s most powerful weapons, so we want to make sure we can iterate upwardly instead of releasing a bonanza of explosions with no other choices.

Update 26.0
As a general note, self damage has been removed from Glaive power throws. As this decision made it through the testing pipeline, some mentioned this impacts a specific Chroma interaction, but positively impacts 41 other Warframes.

• Damage increased from 78 to 230.
• Range increased from 0.75 to 1.3.
• Status Chance increased from 28% to 34%.
• Slam Attack increased from 78 to 690.
• Slide Attack increased from 390 to 460.
• Parry Angle set to 55.
• Follow Through increased from 0.5 to 0.7.

Hotfix 24.5.3

• Changed the Glaive recall to be done with Melee instead of Melee Channel so its consistent again (Channel being a toggle-only messed up this function).
• Fixed an error where, after Dual-Wielding gun and Glaive, throwing the Glaive in the "normal" Melee only mode could result in a turbo throw that is only supposed to apply for Dual-Wield.

Update 23.10

• Introduced.
