Notes[]

  • The last attack of the Kronen's basic combo can hit enemies behind the player.
  • The Kronen counts towards the "Dagger Proficiency" achievements.

Trivia[]

  • This was the first Tonfa-type weapon in Warframe.
  • At Credits64 65,000 credits, the Kronen has the most expensive weapon blueprint in Warframe.
  • The Kronen is one of the winning weapons from the fan-created melee weapon contest (preceding the Silva&Aegis Silva & Aegis). Its design was submitted by the player Datareaper, who also inspired the creation of Clem.
  • Kronen is German for "crowns" or "coins".
  • When the Kronen was first released, it was unable to do wall attacks due to a bug. This was fixed in Update 14.8 (2014-09-24).
  • Likely named after the character Karl Ruprect Kroenen from the comics, and movie, Hellboy. In the movie, Kroenen wields swords that are essentially bladed tonfas.
