Notes[]

• When equipped without a Stance mod, the Ceramic Dagger adds a 4th lunging stab to its normal attack combo, which propels the Warframe a good distance forward, which is useful in catching up to moving enemies. It also has a 100% chance of inflicting  Slash bleed proc. This effect is lost if one uses the  Pointed Wind stance, which replaces the lunge with a sweeping slash.
  • If the lunge lands behind an unalerted enemy, a stealth attack will be performed instead.

Trivia[]

• Prior to Update 22.20 (2018-05-17), the Ceramic Dagger shared its model with the  Cronus, only scaled down and with a much lower-resolution texture. It was eventually given a similar-but-unique model that resembles a scaled-down Scimitar in shape.
• The blueprint used to drop from Jupiter's boss J3-Golem, however this method of obtaining the blueprint is no longer available.
• Ironically, despite having a curved blade that would be ideal for slashing, the Ceramic Dagger deals mainly  Puncture and no  Slash damage.
