CODEX

Valkyr is imbued with energy and becomes a ball of vicious rage, capable of unleashing a torrent of deadly claw attacks on unsuspecting foes.

Valkyr Talons are  Valkyr and  Valkyr Prime's signature Exalted Weapon that can only be used upon activating the ability  Hysteria. The weapon exclusively uses the Hysteria stance.

Refer to the weapon's ability page for a list of mods that affect the weapon.

Characteristics

This weapon deals equal physical damage.

Advantages:

• Perfectly balanced physical damage – effective against all factions, Sentient and Shadow Stalker.
• Tied with  Desert Wind for the highest critical chance of all melee weapons.
• Innate 5% lifesteal.
• Very high attack speed.
• Innate and two polarities.

Disadvantages:

• Low status chance.
• Short range.
• Requires energy to activate and keep active.
• As an Exalted Weapon, it cannot benefit from, nor contribute to the set bonus of any Set Mods (excluding the Sacrificial Mod Set; the Gladiator Mod Set can still apply if equipped on Warframe, Melee, or Robotic Weapons, and not on the Exalted Weapon itself).
• Cannot equip Melee Combo Counter Mods (except  Drifting Contact), Acolyte Mods (e.g.,  Blood Rush), or Amalgam Mods (e.g.,  Amalgam Organ Shatter).
• Combo counter resets when equipped with  Xoris.

Notes

• The Valkyr Talons appears in the Arsenal after unlocking Valkyr's  Hysteria ability.
• Valkyr is still able to block with Valkyr Talons while Hysteria is active, though she won't receive any damage reduction from doing so.
  • However, her Talons will still benefit from the combo counter increase for blocking, added in the melee changes.

Trivia

• Before the introduction of moddable Exalted Weapons, the stats of Valkyr Talons depended on the mods equipped on the player's melee weapon.
• On  Valkyr Prime, the claws are named Valkyr Prime Talons. Their stats are, however, identical to Valkyr Talons.
• Valkyr Talons is the only Exalted Weapon with no color customization options, being purely affected by Valkyr's selected energy color.
