Notes[]

  • When equipped without a Stance mod, the Heat Dagger adds a 4th lunging stab on its normal attack combo, which propels the Warframe a good distance forward, which is useful for catching up to moving enemies. It also has a 100% chance of inflicting a DmgSlashSmall64 Slash proc on contact. This effect is lost if one uses the Mod TT 20px Pointed Wind stance, which replaces the lunge with a sweeping slash.
    • If the lunge lands behind an unalerted enemy, a stealth attack will be performed instead.
  • Slam attacks always apply a DmgFireSmall64 Heat proc, even if the weapon is modded to not deal DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage.

Trivia[]

  • Before Update 26.0 (2019-10-31), the Heat Dagger used to emit a visible ring of fire from slam attacks. This visual effect was also shared with the HeatSword Heat Sword and DualHeatSwords Dual Heat Swords. Since then, all melee weapons make the same effect when doing slam attacks.
  • The Heat Dagger received a visual change in Update 16.5 (2015-05-12), giving it a faded color scheme with texture animations similar to those found in Prisma weapons. Its visual model was also sharpened and lengthened to further resemble the Heat Sword.
  • The icon of the heat dagger is misleading of its actual appearance as the model was changed in Update 16.5 (2015-05-12). The spike in the front of the guard is actually at the back, while at the front of the guard a cylinder with a tube takes its place; while the blade is much thinner and longer at the top. There is also a clear difference between the Heat Dagger Forest-Camo Skin icon and actual model. The HeatSword Heat Sword andDualHeatSwords Dual Heat Swords also suffer from this problem.
  • Out of the family of Heat weapons (HeatSword Heat Sword, DualHeatSwords Dual Heat Swords, Heat Dagger) the Heat Dagger is the only one out of these that deals innate DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage, not only on radial slams.
