Tenet Grigori is a unique Tenet Scythe whose Heavy Slide Attacks launch a short-ranged energy disk. The second attack in a Heavy Attack Combo will also launch an energy disk.
Characteristics[]
- This weapon primarily deals
Slash damage. - Heavy slide attack releases a spinning energy disk that travels up to 10 meters based on combo multiplier, has infinite punch through against bodies, and ricochets off surfaces.
- The projectile is unaffected by base damage mods or arcanes (e.g., Pressure Point, Arcane Fury). However, it's affected by universal base damage sources like Arcane Arachne, Vigorous Swap, Holster Amp, Vex Armor, Toxin Elemental Ward, and Amp.
- Condition Overload is multiplicative to base damage on the disk.
- The projectile is unaffected by base damage mods or arcanes (e.g.,
- Holstering pauses combo duration.

- Valence Fusion can optionally change the resulting output damage type, and can upgrade the bonus increase (up to 60%).
- Polarizing the weapon increases its max rank by 2, capping at rank 40 after 5 polarizations, granting the weapon additional mod capacity.

Kuva/Tenet Notes[]
- For weapons obtained from vanquishing the Kuva Lich or Sister:
- The player does not have to meet the Mastery Rank displayed to obtain this weapon. It can simply be claimed from the foundry after the Lich/Sister carrying it has been vanquished.
- The weapon will have a prefix of the name of the Lich/Sister it was acquired from (e.g. a Kuva Kohm might be called "Odizrigg Agekk Kuva Kohm").
- Refraining from Mercy killing an Adversary candidate will remove their weapon from the pool of potential Adversary weapons until each has been refused, but only if the mission is completed. Weapons rejected from aborted missions will remain in the current cycle.
- For weapons obtained from Ergo Glast's shop:
- The player must meet the Mastery Rank displayed to obtain this weapon, as it is claimed from an NPC shop rather than the foundry.
- The weapon's max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per Forma added).
- Additional polarizations can be added when the weapon reaches its new max rank at that polarization level.
- Each additional rank also gives 100 Mastery Rank experience, giving 4,000 points in total at level 40.
- Mod capacity scales with the additional ranks, and can reach a total of 80 at rank 40 with an Orokin Catalyst installed.
- Without an Orokin Catalyst, the max is 40. Combined with the five polarized mod slots required to reach that point, an Orokin Catalyst might not be required for some beginner-friendly builds as they typically use less mod capacity.
- After polarizing a weapon, any additional mod capacity above 30 (60 with an Orokin Catalyst) will not take effect until the weapon's rank reaches 31 and above.
- Legendary Mastery Rank increases the minimum mod capacity for such weapons, without the weapon needing to be rank 31 and above. For example, Legendary 1 increases the minimum capacity to 31 (62 with an Orokin Catalyst).
- Comes with an additional damage stat.
- For Lich/Sister-obtained weapons this is dependent on the Warframe that summoned the Lich/Sister.
- For Ergo Glast shop a random bonus stat will be offered for each weapon and changed every 4 days (96 hours).
- This damage stat randomly ranges between 25%-60%. It can be upgraded up to its maximum value with Valence Fusion using another copy of the weapon.
- This bonus stat is considered a base damage type and will be applied after all elemental mods for the purposes of elemental combinations.
View detailed explanation about element merging ▾▾
- Weapons with an innate primary element and a different primary element provided by the progenitor both behave as innate elements and combine with each other. They will also recombine with modded elements in the following order:
- Mod slot 1 → Mod slot 2 → ... → Mod slot 8 → Innate Heat → Innate Cold → Innate Electricity → Innate Toxin
- Mod slot 1 → Mod slot 2 → ... → Mod slot 8 → Innate
Tips[]
- The easy grouping with good power strength also allows for quick increase of combo duration, which is required for the projectile to last longer.
- Despite the implications, less useful against lines of enemies as the projectile will strike and bounce away, often only hitting enemies one time though with high damage due to its reliance on heavy attacks which have powerful mods like Sacrificial Steel to double the critical chance.
- Relentless Combination can be used to quickly increase the combo duration against groups, due to the slash weighting of the weapon and good status chance.
- Combo Efficiency mods such as Reflex Coil reduces the amount of combo spent when deploying the disc, allowing the user to regain their combo multiplier faster, and with fewer hits required.
- Jet Stream can significantly boost the projectile speed of the disc, making it travel further even with no active combo count.
- Projectile will be pulled into Magnetize, shredding enemies inside until the duration expires, offering excellent synergy.
Trivia[]
- While sheathed, the weapon folds up into an attaché case.
- Grigori, from the word Egrgori, is greek for "watcher".
