Garuda's Talons

Tenno Weapons

Garuda's Talons are Garuda's signature claws that are only usable by her. Rather than being tied to an Exalted Weapon, Garuda's Talons are permanently equipped as long as she does not have any other melee weapon, and does not come with its own stance, instead using the regular Claw stances.
