Notes
- Normal polearm Heavy Attacks can be performed by executing Heavy Attacks during a slide.
Heavy Attack
- Thrown polearms deal 480 damage, split between 30% Impact, 40%
Puncture, and 30% Slash, with a guaranteed Impact proc. - 1 second after collision, the polearm will explode in a 5 meter radius, dealing 400 Blast damage with a guaranteed Impact proc. The explosion has damage fall-off.
- Can be controlled by
Ivara's 
Navigator. - Projectile speed can be increased by
Zephyr using Jet Stream. - The throwing animation moves the warframe before the polearm is thrown, making the throw slightly misaligned with the aim from before the throw.
- This is made worse by by Tennokai attacks, especially when combined with attack speed increases.
- Throwing attacks do not benefit from the bonuses to Tennokai attacks granted by Tennokai mods, such as the increased damage from Master's Edge, but can otherwise use the inherent benefits of Tennokai.
- The initial hit and delayed explosion of thrown polearms only gain the benefits of heavy attack-exclusive effects such as Killing Blow, Dispatch Overdrive, Life Strike, and the doubled crit bonus from True Steel if the warframe is in a heavy attack animation when they hit an enemy.
- This means the initial hit will often benefit at close range, but with sufficient distance from the target, and/or increases to attack speed which shorten the end-lag of the throw animation, it may not. The explosion will never gain these benefits from a single throw.
- The initial hit and explosion can still gain these benefits if they hit while the warframe is performing another heavy attack after the original throw.
- This includes the throwing heavy attack, normal slide heavy attacks, and even heavy attacks performed with an Exalted Weapon.
- Condition Overload only adds 20% damage per status type to the initial hit instead of the listed 80%, and does not apply its increase to the explosion damage.
Tips
Using Sacrificial Steel will raise the Critical Chance above 100%, applying the 2.6x multiplier on every normal attack.
