Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:

• High damage – effective against armor.
• Innate damage – effective against Cloned Flesh, Infested, and Infested Flesh.
• Good critical chance and status chance.
• Stance slot has a polarity, matching  Pointed Wind and  Stinging Thorn stances.
• Innate polarity.
• Can use the dagger-exclusive  Covert Lethality mod.
• Grants a 10% movement speed bonus when equipped.
• 4th strike of the normal combo procs  if equipped without a Stance.

Disadvantages:

• Low damage – less effective against health and shields.
• Innate damage – less effective against Proto Shields.
• Low critical multiplier.
• Tied with  Karyst for the second slowest attack speed of all single daggers, after  Karyst Prime and  Sheev.

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 proc on contact. This effect is lost if one uses the  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 proc, even if the weapon is modded to not deal damage.

Trivia

• Jump attacks will make the Heat Dagger emit a visible ring of fire upon slamming the ground. This visual trait is shared with other Heat weapons like the  Heat Sword and  Dual Heat Swords.
• 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  Heat Sword and Dual Heat Swords also suffer from this problem.
• Out of the family of Heat weapons ( Heat Sword,  Dual Heat Swords, Heat Dagger) the Heat Dagger is the only one out of these that deals innate  damage, not only on radial slams.
