Characteristics

This weapon deals damage.

Advantages:

  • Electricity is a versatile element, and can create and to fight the Grineer, and to fight against the Corpus.
• Good status chance.
• Has a good base critical chance.
• Jump attack has 100% chance to proc status effect.
• Once you find the blueprint, it's very easy to make (сrafted using easily obtainable resources aside from the Orokin Cell required to craft it).
• Stance slot has a polarity, matching Iron Phoenix and Rising Steel stances.

Disadvantages:

Notes

• Jump attack animation is slightly slower than normal, after hitting the ground it takes a moment for you to swing it down. However, when it does, it can knock down a group of enemies in an average radius. 
• Has a good critical chance and good critical damage, can be worked toward crit-builds.
• With Iron Phoenix stance, it will always proc  status effect at Taking Flight's final hit.
• The forced proc for its jump attack is a standalone element that is not affected by the element of the normal attack, ex. adding a North Wind mod to create element will still make the jump attack deal proc.

Trivia

• The plasma sword uses the smaller model of the pre-update 11 Gram but with a different color scheme.
• Before Update 13.0 (2014-04-09), the Plasma Sword dealt Physical damage like most melee weapons. It now deals damage, making it the fourth melee weapon to do so after the Amphis, Prova, and Lecta.
