Silently lacerate enemies with Gara's signature glass throwing knives. Increased Projectile Speed when wielded by Gara.

The Fusilai are Gara's signature throwing knives, featuring high Slash damage, high critical chance and status chance, and fast reload speed, but with poor fire rate and low magazine capacity. The Alternate Fire is a semi-automatic fire that throws three knives horizontally with increased status chance, but with significantly lower critical chance and fire rate, as well as being unsilenced. The knives fly faster when thrown by Gara.

Notes[]

As a Signature Weapon, Fusilai gains a bonus effect with Gara or Gara Prime, gaining 50% increased Projectile Speed.
The Fusilai's Alternate Fire instantly fires a horizontal spread of three knives, costing three ammo. The knives have the same base damage as the primary fire but have decreased status chance (12.3%), reduced fire rate (1.5), and drastically reduced critical chance (3%), as well as having an alarming noise level.
- The alternate fire cannot be used if the magazine has less than 3 ammo remaining.
- Despite the alt-fire being unsilenced, it does not uncloak Ivara's Prowl.
The knives will, similar to arrows and bolts, stick to walls and enemies and disappear after a short time.

Tips[]

The weapon's high status chance and high innate Slash damage makes Viral builds effective.
Despite lacking any Impact damage, the weapon's ineffectiveness towards shields can be bypassed with the weapon's affinity towards Slash and Toxin/ Gas procs.

Trivia[]

The Fusilai was first revealed during Warframe Partners Shul's and InexpensiveGamer's Twitch stream on October 4, 2017.
The Fusilai is the only throwing knife to have an animated projectile, spinning vertically as it flies. This spin, however, is in reverse compared to that of an actual thrown knife.

Patch History[]

Hotfix 35.5.8 (2024-04-24)

Fixed the glass on Fusilai being very bright in GI lighting areas.

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

Greater than 100% Status having meaning

Shotguns have a unique Role here based on a very patch-work history with how they interact with Status Chance. A Shotgun that shoots 99% Status Chance would give you 35% (roughly) status per pellet. 100% Status Gives you 100% Status per pellet. This huge jump in performance happens with just a 1% gain - why? Well, to answer that we have to look at our choice to make what the UI conveys reality. It would feel broken to shoot a Shotgun with 100% Status and not see a perfect spread of Effects. In reality, to make Status consistent we have to treat Shotguns as a special case.
