CODEX

This master blade is the heavier, oversized and far more lethal version of the signature weapon of an extinct order of Tenno assassins.

The Karyst Prime is the primed variant of the Karyst, with an even lower attack speed, but very high damage, good critical strikes, and good status chance. It also grants 10% movement speed bonus when equipped.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily Slash damage.

Advantages:

• Highest base damage of all single daggers, and second-highest base damage of all melee weapons behind Arca Titron.
  • Innate Toxin damage – effective against Flesh and bypasses Shields and Proto Shields; can be combined to create Corrosive, Viral, or Gas.
• High critical chance, highest of all not-Zaw single daggers.
• Above average critical multiplier.
• Tied with Rakta Dark Dagger for the highest status chance of all single daggers.
• Longest range of all single daggers.
• High follow through.
• Stance slot has a polarity, matching  Pointed Wind and  Stinging Thorn stances.
• Can use the dagger-exclusive  Covert Lethality mod.
• Grants a 10% movement speed bonus when equipped.

Disadvantages:

• Innate Toxin damage – less effective against Machinery, Robotic, and Fossilized.
• Tied with Sheev for the slowest attack speed of all single daggers and the slowest attack speed of all melees.
