Garuda's Talons are Garuda's signature Exalted Weapon. Instead of being channeled through a Warframe ability, Garuda's Talons are permanently equipped as long as she does not have any other melee weapon. Unlike other Exalted Weapons, it does not come with its own stance, instead using the regular Claw stances.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
This weapon deals primarily Slash damage.
Advantages:
- Highest base damage of all claws
- High critical chance.
- Highest status chance of all claws.
- Largest melee attack range of all claws.
- Innate
and
polarity.
- Can equip Melee Combo Counter Mods (e.g.,
Body Count), or Amalgam Mods (e.g.,
Amalgam Organ Shatter).
- Unlike other Exalted Weapons, it can benefit from, and contribute to, set bonuses of any Set Mods. In addition, Acolyte Mods (e.g.,
Blood Rush, Weeping Wounds) also function normally.
Disadvantages:
Notes[edit | edit source]
- As the user technically does not have a melee weapon equipped, Garuda's Talons cannot be used in Melee Only Sorties.
- As the talons count as a weapon, not a Warframe’s ability like other Exalted Weapons, it cannot be used in any other weapon restricted Sorties as well.
- Similar to Exalted Weapons:
- Garuda's Talons can gain rank but don't contribute to Mastery Rank.
- Garuda's Talons can damage enemies inside Rift Plane.
- Garuda's Talons do not affect weapon affinity.
- While Stance Forma can be applied to Garuda's Talons, it currently has no benefit due to all available Claw stances sharing the same polarity.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Unlike other claw weapons, Garuda's Talons are prehensile, as shown during her idle animation while holding rifle.
