*Because the {{Weapon|Broken War}} received from completing [[The Second Dream]] quest comes with a free [[Orokin Catalyst]], it is recommended ''not'' to use it to craft War, as the pre-installed catalyst will not carry over into the crafted War. A separate Broken War can be crafted and used to craft War &ndash; the player will be given the choice of which to use at the Foundry.

*War's {{Icon|Proc|Impact|Text}} damage is unique to its class, as every other Heavy Blade that does physical damage is instead {{Icon|Proc|Slash|Text}}-focused.

*Statistically, War is extremely similar to [[Galatine Prime]], differing only in damage, damage composition, attack speed, and mastery requirement. Thus, any strategies that work for the latter will generally work for the former, though the different polarities and damage composition may somewhat complicate modding.

Notes

  • Because the BrokenWar Broken War received from completing The Second Dream quest comes with a free Orokin Catalyst, it is recommended not to use it to craft War, as the pre-installed catalyst will not carry over into the crafted War. A separate Broken War can be crafted and used to craft War – the player will be given the choice of which to use at the Foundry. 

Tips

  • War's Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage is unique to its class, as every other Heavy Blade that does physical damage is instead Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist.-focused. Thus, the weapon can be thought of as somewhat analogous to a Hammer, such as the Fragor Fragor, in terms of uses.

Trivia

  • The energy that surrounds War's blades and the glowing light in its hilt will react to different things.
    • If the Energy color is not customized, the lights correspond to the elemental damage present on the weapon. If no elements are present, the lights glow red, identical to when the Shadow Stalker is attacking the player. The light blue seen in the weapon icon and other appearances can be achieved with Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
    • When channeling, both will glow extremely brightly, and gradually return to normal brightness after turning channeling off. This specific trait is shared with the (Synoid) Heliocor Heliocor.
    • War's lights will also briefly glow after it kills an enemy.
    • When holstered, both the blade and hilt glow will dissipate until brandished again.
  • In the The Second Dream quest, War was not only the sword that the Shadow Stalker used, but also housed the consciousness of the Sentient Hunhow. War would be shattered in two during the climax of the quest, creating the BrokenWar Broken War sword, which is simply the broken off piece re-purposed as a weapon.
  • This weapon, along with the Broken War, is the first Sentient weapon available to players.
  • The pommel of this weapon is similar in shape and design to the Hunhow Sentinel Mask.
  • The name "War" references the biblical Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The horseman of the red horse, War, is charged with bringing battle and slaughter, and is given a great sword. This is reflected in the weapon's main color being red, and its sheer size.

Bugs

  • On very rare occasion, War's lights won't stop glowing after getting a kill or channeling is toggled off. This can often be visually distracting, but can usually be fixed by dying.
