CODEX

Overwhelm hostiles with this jet-powered sickle and razor-chain weapon. Charged strikes ignite an explosive blast at range.

The Jat Kusar is a  Grineer Blade and Whip with rocket boosters attached, giving it innate  Heat damage. This weapon was originally based off a fan design which Digital Extremes incorporated into the game.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Heat damage.

Advantages:

• Innate  Heat damage – effective against Cloned Flesh, Infested and Infested Flesh.
• High  Impact damage – effective against shields.
• Highest critical chance and critical multiplier of all blade and whips.
• High status chance.
• Heavy attacks cause an explosion dealing 218  Blast damage – effective against Machinery and Fossilized.
  • This explosion is treated as Slam Radial Damage and its damage can only be increased with  Seismic Wave
• Slam Radial Damage deals  Heat damage.
• Two innate polarities.

Disadvantages:

• Innate  Heat damage – less effective against Proto Shields.
• Low  Puncture damage – less effective against armor.
• Heavy attack explosions have innate  Blast damage – less effective against Ferrite Armor and Infested Sinew.
• Lowest status chance and attack speed of all blade and whips.

Notes

• The Jat Kusar, unlike other Blade and Whips, does not ragdoll and pull enemies towards the player upon landing the fourth attack of the stanceless/Claws of the Drake combo or Heavy Attacks.
  • Instead, Heavy Attack direct hits only knock enemies down, while the explosions ragdoll and throw the enemy a small distance straight up into the air.
• The Slam Radial Damage has a small chance to inflict the Heat status effect, but is unaffected by status chance mods.

Trivia

• The Jat Kusar is the winning entry of Digital Extremes' The Best Defense Melee Creation Contest. It was designed by Silverbones, who also created the  Silva & Aegis, another  Heat-based melee weapon.
  • In the Jat Kusar's concept art, Silverbones refers to the weapon as a "Plasma Kusarigama".

Bugs

• The explosion caused by Heavy Attacks is not centered on the visual explosion. It is instead centered on the player, like a Slam Attack.
