CODEX

A strong blade capable of inflicting fire damage to its foes.

The Heat Sword melee weapon uses the same animations as the  Skana. However, the Heat Sword is faster to swing and can deal damage on slam attacks and ground finishers.

This weapon can be sold for 5,000 Credits 5,000.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:

• High damage – effective against health.
• Highest status chance of all single swords.
• Slam attacks deal damage in a large AoE with a very high chance to proc.
• Finisher attack deals damage with 50% proc chance.
  • damage is effective against Flesh and Infested.
  • Panic caused from proc lasts much longer than a knockdown.
• Stance slot has a polarity, which matches  Crimson Dervish,  Swooping Falcon and  Vengeful Revenant stances.
• Innate  polarity slot.

Disadvantages:

• Low and damage – ineffective against shields and armor.
• damage is ineffective against Proto Shields.
• Does not deal damage on regular attacks.
• Very low critical chance.
• Low critical multiplier.
• Below average attack speed.

Notes

• The polarity slot works well with  Molten Impact to give the weapon's melee attacks innate  damage.
• High damage and damage slam attack make it very effective against Infested and Cloned Flesh.

Tips

•  Condition Overload is highly recommended to take advantage of this weapon's high status chance and ability to proc  against enemies, greatly increasing its damage into the several hundreds if properly modded.
• As with all broadswords, using the Heat Sword with  Excalibur is advised in order to increase the weapon's damage and swing speed.
• While the weapon's base damage composition and slam attack effect already make it effective against Infested enemies, one can add  Virulent Scourge or ( Primed)  Fever Strike together with  Molten Impact or  Volcanic Edge to create  damage and further increase this effectiveness.
• The last swing of  Iron Phoenix's "Taking Flight" combo will trigger the weapon's slam attack and, thus, proc against all enemies in range, allowing you to ignite enemies seamlessly without needing to jump and actually perform a slam if this stance is equipped. The mismatched polarities may discourage this, however, unless one is willing to expend a Forma.

Trivia

• Jump attacks will make the Heat Sword emit a visible ring of fire upon slamming the ground. This visual trait is shared with other Heat weapons like the  Heat Dagger,  Dual Heat Swords, and formerly,  Sheev.
• The Heat Sword 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.
• The Ember statue in the Strata Relay is holding a Heat Sword on its right hand.
