Karyst Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time. Check the current Prime Resurgence rotation to see if Varzia offers relics for this item. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.

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 Karyst, sporting improvements to its damage, critical chance, critical multiplier, status chance, and range, at the cost of even lower attack speed. Karyst Prime was released alongside InarosPrimeIcon272 Inaros Prime and PantheraPrime Panthera Prime.

Trivia[]

  • The namesake and a part of the dagger's design (that is the wavy, flame-like portion of the blade) are inspired by the Kris, a dagger of Javanese (Indonesian) origin.
    • Traditionally, the belief is held that poison added to the Kris during the forging process grants it an envenoming effect when used in combat. Further, the "flambard" style blade would help hold poisons applied to the blade before combat, as well as inflict more substantial wounds against sliced opponents; a useful characteristic against unarmored opponents in hot weather climates. This is the likely inspiration for this weapon doing toxin damage.
    • The unique and different approach to the Karyst Prime's design compared to the original Karyst is a combination of the regular Karyst/Kris element (wavy blade) and Egyptian jewelry and knives (the curved, hook-like tip) that were used during the mummification process[1] to complement Inaros' Prime theme as ancient Egypt-themed Warframe.
